condition that they would build there
On establishment giving immediate em-
DlOyment to 100 hands. but after some
consideration it was declined for the
reasons Just given, and the same part
les then bought and paid 5000 an acre
for higher land directly across the
river, free from those objections and
they have there to-day under construc-
ton a manufacturing establishment
costing S25O,000.
The Legislatures favorable cOnsid
GRAFTON was asked for the following rea
sons, among many that might be given
in addition to the purposes expressed
in the preamble to the printed act:
First. Il provides a simple and equi-
table method for removing q seriou
incumbrance now resting on the title
Of the land. by reason OF which the
land cannot now be properly conveyed
with a guaranteed title to investors or
manufacturers and this serious defect
cannot be remedied without the legis-
latiOn here proposed and so long as il
remains it will be a permanent obstacle
to sale and development
Second IL provides means OF
gradually paying off the heavy stand
ing debt of the Marsh Company, t
those TO whom il is due, by those who
are able and willing to pay their shar
now, and furnishes a valuable prece
dent in the future for those who desire
to pay their share and perfect their
title when they desire to sell or i'm
prove.
Third. The land should be exempted
from bank taxes and expenses to be
incurred in the future as soon as it is
entirely filled and becomes like other
high land on the border of the marsh,
and would not have been included
originally If it had been filled before.
Fourth. On the general principle of
mo taxation without representation
no charge should be made against any
owner where no expense is to be in
CURED nor services to be rendered To
him Icy the Marsh Company in the fu-
| ture and where no benefit whatever
will be received by the owner who has
filled all his land beyond all possible
injury, and protected all other lands
as we'll at his sole expense, for all
time to come, more effectually than
ever before
Fifth. This extensive improvement
when made will relieve the Marsf
Company and the other owners of the
expense of taking care of 1900 feet ol
bank along the Christiana and Brandy.
wine rivers now necessary to protect
this thirteen acres of land which is
at the rate of about 116 feet of bani
to the acre for this portion, while tn,
average on the whole marsh of 16,00l
feet for $50 acres Is only II feet pei
acre. I his is by far the most expensive
portion Of tide bank for the small are;
that it protects Of any on Cherry Is
land and the Marsh Company and othe
owners would be much better off If !
had never been included and better of
every year in the future without it.
: Sixth. This improvement when mad
and the other Improvements propose'
and those that would naturally follow
J on the premises would double the valu
of all the surrounding land on tn
marsh at once and confer more bench
in one year than n5 amount of banl
: tax would in one hundred years.
The bill has now gone to the Senate
and viii no doubt be speedily passed.

Hew Girl Gained 1t In the scnsa.
tiOna1 Journals.
A fourteen-year-old girl disappeared
from her home In q New York tene-
mcnt one day last summer. Her letter
of farewell said that she intended to
drown herself because she was tired Of
tending the baby.
For twenty-four hours or more her
parents, assisted by the police and the
reporters, hunted for the child. They
finally found her In the cellar Of her
own house. On second thought, she
had decided to live q little longer--in
spite Of the baby.
Later developments Indicated that
she had gained her principal purpose.
1t was shown That she had been nm In
dnstriOus reader Of the sensational
dailIes, and that she yenrned to share
that publicity which they give to the
deeds Of people who are mentally weak
and morally crippled. She succeeded.
At the cost of n day In the cOnl-hOle,
she got her picture In the papers. The
stories" that were printed about her
occupied very satisfactory space among
the evil deeds spread out In the demon
alixIng columns Of the sensational pa.
pers.
or course she was happy. She would
have been happier yet had she realized
the full extent Of her good fortune!
Emlnence like hers could not easily
have been won by any little girl born
earlier than this nineteenth century.
A hundred years agO there were no
yellow" daily papers to rouse or re.
ward n girl Of her high ambition. Had
such n girl threatened suicide. her
mother would have given her dose
Of jalnp and put her to bed. Had she
run away, she would have been plysic.
ally punished.
1t never entered the heads Of our old.
fogy ancestors that when child did
something foolish, or mean. or wicked.
the proper thing was to tell amusing
stories about II. They had the notion
which seems to be In some danger Of
becoming obsolete. TINT a wrong or a
