CHIEF JUSTICE LORE has shown
the wisdom of providing a State
workhouse for criminals in an ad-
dress before legislative committee
at Dover this week. He made the
statement, that, the cost of feeding
prisoners in such institutions in
other states when compared with
maintenance in Delaware for an
equal number, would save annually
about six thousand dollars. Della

relation to corporal punishment, and this
morning gave notice of bill to that effect
Mr.. Reybold does not believe in corporal
punishment for petty larceny, and thinks
that the public sentiment which favors a re-
form in prison matters should also favor some
change in the whipping-post laws. If Mr..
Reynolds bill was passed the whipping post
would be retained only as a punishment foI
burglars and wife beaters.

bill in relation to the boundary line Of this
State. The bill would repeal the act TO pro-

this State and Pennsylvania. The work Of
the commission has not yet been completed
and considerable fault has been found with
the work Of the commission engineers. The
idea was to mark the old twelve.mile circle,
but it is claimed that the engineers in laying
out the line drew two circles In this way
a number Of Delswareans were put over into
Pennsylvania. They want to be in Delaware
where they were. The bill would restore
the old boundary of 1901.

in reference to the registration of voters. It
provides that if man is refused registration,
or if man is improperly registered applica-
tion may be made to the Superior Court, and
the court shall have the power to order the
Board of Registration to reassemble aud cor

The friends of the militia bill are very

look at it and to feel of it. The fishers

it into their boat that it was dead.

piles of oysters aud clans at the end of
the bench where the sturgeon IS tail was.

One sees another new musical instru-
ment pushing its way into prominence
--tho phonoharp, which is, broadly,
nothing moro nor less than y simplified

16 strings and two octavcs, from G to G,
although some forms are larger and
more complex. 1t has brass bridge
stretched across the strings, so construct
cd that some strings are covered and
sono exposed.
The "pick" when drawn across the
shields strikes tho exposed strings, pro.
ducing chords, and goes over those COW
cred by the metal. Tho bridge has three
rows Of openings, thus making three
chords of the key Of G. The music Of
any piece consists of sheet of cardboard
having tho air of tho tune written in
figures, divided into measures and char,
acters before the proper figure, to- indi-
cate when to draw the pick over the
shield to make the desired chord,
The figures on the sheet lie directly

string corresponding with its note in

dicates the strings to be struck.
The ordinary notes on the staff are
