IT IS m1sT EMMY

The dramatic critics in New York
united in saying that MY Friend From
India" the comedy that will be at the
Grand Opera House on Saturday even
ing, is funny. absurdly funny, outra-
geously funny. They went to see it,pre-
pared to analyze and stayed to laugh,
in fact to indulge in the most extrava-
giant hilarity. One of the solons said:
Criticism halts abashed and amazed
before my Friend From India" The
thing rattles along consistently incOn
silent and plausibly impossible to the
end It's just funny. That's all" The
author of this new farce, it is evident
has not sought the drama as the me
dium for the communication to the
world of a Message with a capital IN"
He has simply manufactured a frank,
wholesome. noisy, kittenish farce thai
is full Of real fun, and what is more
strange contains number Of novel
and ingenious devices. The players
who will present it here are equally
candid purveyors of nonsense.

Prompt Payment of $4,000
Insurance,

take this method of thanking the
officers of the greatest Insurance Com
pany of the present century. l have
received a check dated April 16, for
$4,000, from Mr.. w. II. Smollinger,
president of the Covenant Mutual Life
Association, of Illinois, through its
manager, Mr.. w. S. Hoffman, of No.
S36 Market street. Wilmington, Del.
l feel proud to state that l never had
better dealings than with the gentle
man connected with the Covenant Mu-
tual Life Association, of Illinois. My
husbands policy of $4,000 was only in
force twenty-five days, when my late
husband, Joseph Hendel. was taken
from me by his sudden death, and TO
those who are seeking or desire pro-
lection for their loved ones, who are
to be left behind in this world, l would
advise them to take out a policy of in
surance in the Covenant Mutual Lie
Association, of Illinois, and l assure
them they can leave this world knowing
their loved ones will receive the full
amount and prompt payment OF their
policy. Respectfully,
BARBARA HENDEL.

Stan Correspondence Evening Journal
Dover, April 20.
Howard b. Springer, of Wilmington,
secured his divorce from his wife,
Sarah w. Springer, but not until Sen.
ator Fenimore had voiced his senti-
ments regarding the merits of the
case.
Chairman Pyle, Of the Senate Com
mittee on Divorce, reported the House
bill favorably yesterday. Before the
vote could be taken Senator Fenimore
arose and said:
I'm committee I opposed a favorable
report on that bill. / am still opposed
TO it and shall vote against it. It is d
case in which / think the man acted
very imprudently. He got his wife in
a Western state, brought her here and
tried to force her to live in a family
that was not agreeable to her. For
that reason I shall vote against the
BILL
This bill has been on hand for some
time" answered Chairman Pyle. "and
1t has been thoroughly discussed and
tried upon its merits. IL has been con-
sidered by those who were in a posi-

thing if we were all i'm position TO be
free from these influences; If we were
not subject TO mothers-in-law or any
other conditions that are not favorable

had been drawn to meet the objections
of Representative Wilson and others
who were open to conviction, and
moved its adoption.
After it had been read he asked that
the sergeant-at be instructed to
bring in all members in order that a
full vote could be had. After they had
been brought in Representative DON
aldson objected to a vote being taken
on the amendment, on the ground that
the rules prohibited such a vote. He
was over-ruled on the amendment, and
the vote on the amendment was as fol-
lows:
Yea - Messrs. Davis, Dempsey,
Cheairs, L. S. Hopkins, Johnson, Mar
tin, Mccoy Smith, Whitney Mr..
Speaker-10.
Nay-Messrs. Adams, Dukes, Eliason,
Mccullough, Thompson, Wilson,.
Absent-Messrs. J. II. Hopkins, Ha-
zell. Short and Taylor
Mr.. Donaldson asked to be excused
from voting. because he differed from
the chair on that ruling
Speaker Riggin declared that the
vote fell short of the necessary two
thirds, and that the amendment was
lost
Mr.. Dempsey moved that the bill and
amendment be sent TO the committee,
and that action be postponed until 10
o'clock next Wednesday morning. IL
was carried, and on motion of Mr.. DON
aldson the clerk was ordered to have
the bill printed as it would appear If
the amendment were adopted.
NO TONTINE STATEMENTS.
Milton II. Hawkins was an unhappy
man yesterday, for the House killed his
bill compelling insurance companies is
suing tontine policies to furnish hold
ers with statements of the earnings OF
their policies thirty days before pre-
miums were due and payable. He says
that ten men sOlemnly promised 70
vote for the bill, but they failed to ma
terialize when the crucial test came
The bill was called up in its amended
shape Messrs. HAZEL. Cheairs ano
Donaldson spoke against its passage
declaring that IL would prove hard
ship upon the companies, and that Il
was not being asked for by the hold
ers of tontine policies
Messrs. Wilson, Short and l.. S. Hop
kins supported the bin. In their opin
ion It would be a good thing for th'
policy holders to know just what thei
investment was earning.
Messrs. Donaldson and Martin wer'
paired, and refrained from voting, al
though both were present. Messrs
Taylor and Adams were absent.

The letter of F. O. Stuart on ou

The letter of F. @. Stuart on our
third page has some instructive points
about how the executive council, con-
sisting of three state officers, manages
to keep a lot OF janitors about the cap
itol building, under pay, who were
discharged by the legislature last win.
ter. Mr.. Lowry. when at the state
fair, reported the entire lot whom the
legislature turned down still in the
employ OF the state. Stuart tells how
it is done. He also shows how the
executive council has reduced the
railroad assessment of the state on
two lines of road $1,S11, ,S91 in six
years. During the same time the
value OF farm property has been as
sessed higher th,.n before, the tax
levy has been largely increased and
the executive council added $116,000
to the valuation of Howard county.
There is neither justice or equity in
the assessment of farms as compared
with the railways.

Owing to the large amount OF work
taken IN five places canvassed before
Howard county, the work of delivery
has been retarded, ard also on account
of the slowness of patrons in making
their payments and sending in their
photographs. The gentleman having
the delivery in charge was here Mon
day and says the delivery in this
county will begin in about two weeks.
When the pictures are ready all pa
irons will be notified by postal card
when and where they will be de-
livered. The manager requests us to
urge upon those who have given or
ders or others who want pictures, the
necessity of sending their money and
pictures in to this Office during the
next ten days. They are working
hard to make up their lost ground
and desire nothing to retard their de-
livery here when once commenced.

and fancy it will be largely used. Cordu-
roy likewise is in favor for blouses, jackets
and entire costumes. Bodices are made of
striped, figured or checked velvet, and
plain velvet of bright colors is employed
for the decoration of costumes, or even for
entire gowns. Liberty velvets compose
elegant tailor made costumes and little
girls gowns while plaid velyets are used
for very small children.
Bodices remain rather loose in form, but
have tight lining. The basque is short
for belted corsages, but little longer for
straight jackets Collars are high and
flaring, lined or bordered with fur.
Fur retains its position at the crest of
the wave of fashion. Boleros and little
sacks of astrakhan caracal, fox and
ohinchilla will be worn, and pelerines of
sable trimmed with tails These pelerines
should not be long to be pretty, but when
they are short they afford very little
warmth. Ermine is much more employed
as lining than for entire wraps, long
pile furs being preferred for the outside
and for decoration.
