MAY ELECT NEXT SATURDAY
HOUSE PASSES AN ACT TO AMEND
THE ADAMS TAX LAW.

I'dE ADAMS IAN LAW.
Dover. Feb. 15.-The General Assem-
bly, yesterday afternoon passed a spe-
cial act to apply to an election to be
held in New Castle county for the pur-
pose Of choosing a successor to fill the
unexpired term OF the late Senator
Robert ]. Handy. The act makes the
use of slip ballots permissible, such
ballots to be printed by the political
parties having candidates. The num-
ber Of voting districts is reduced
throughout the county. In Whining
ton, where there are usually sixty
seven districts, there are to be only
twenty-four, or two for each ward.
Similar cuts are made in the rural hun
dreds. Immediately upon the passage
of the act Speaker of the House Har-
rington issued a writ to Sheriff Finn,
of New Castle county, calling upon him
TO prepare for the election, to be held
within FIVE days after service OF the
writ.
This probably means that the cleo
tion will be held next Saturday. The
prevailing sentiment of the voters is
against the election upon the ground OF
useless expense, as the senator chosen
Will only nave 10 SlJ uuIlhb th1 Sp0Nl1i
sessions now being held. The COusti-
tuition, however, provides for a special
election, and Speaker Harrington does
not feel that he has any discretion in
the matter. There is some talk that
the Democrats are willing TO have the
Union Republicans nominate son oi
the late Senator Handy, and nominate
no candidate themselves, but the regu-
lar Republicans will agree to no such
scheme. The regulars are perfectly
| willing to agree on any good Republi-
| can who is known to the people. Bills
are now in preparation to make the
Levy Court of Sussex county consist
Of five members, and the Levy Courl
of Kent county of ten members, al
though the population of Sussex coun-
| ty is the larger of the two.
The House. after an animated de
| bate. passed a bill to amend the ac
passed at the last session, providing
for the taxing of Investments, ant
known as the Adams tax law. Th'
amendments simply provide penaltie
for a failure to comply with the pro
visions Of the act, which is not clear
and which has not been enforced b.
the assessors and collectors.

Vile, the current bill brings excellent
diversion to all corners. Two big au-
diences were present yesterday and
the animated song sheet" was pro-
duced for the first time in this city,
and made a big hit, the singing of
Alice Gilmore, the soloist, could not be
improved upon, and the chorus is all
that can be desired. Arthur Rigby led
the vaudeville contingent and told
witty stories and sang comic songs that
are composed of originality. Campbell
and Beard introduced one Of the fun
niest musical acts of the season; their
speciality contains many novel sur
prises. Clifford sisters, Mexican
Kurtz, Seamon and Monti, Collins and
Collins, and the Batcheller sisters, all
contributed good acts. There is moth

The GIoyvwOrm's \ Ray.

The glowworm IS light is said to have
been shown to be due TO the emission of
rays similar to Roentgen's. Three hun
dred glowworms were caught near
Kioto and placed before Photographic
plates screened from the light by sew
eral thicknesses of black paper, together
with plates of brass, copper and alumni
ium. A piece Of cardboard with hole
in it was placed between the metal and
the Photographic plate, and for two
days the arrangement was kept in a
dark chamber sheltered from all foreign
lights. On developing the plate it
was found to be blackened, except the
part opposite the hole in the cardboard.
The rays Of the glowworm would appear
therefore to penetrate metal and excite
luminosity in cardboard. When there is
nothing between tho sensitive plate and
the glowworm, the rays are said to be-
have like ordinary light, but in travers.
ing some metals and cardboard they
seem to acquire properties like that of
x rays, or it may be that the ordinary
glowworm emits X as we'll as ordinary
rays. Revue Scientifque.

Cash Versus Gtory.

An ordinary service to mankind is
usually paid for Mt current rates in legal
tender. An extraordinary service, not
involving the element of heroism, is re.
warded by both legal tender and more
or less fame. The highest Of all services,
rendered at the risk Of life, is supposed
to receive its full compensation in glory,
unaccompanied by more sordid consid-
erations. If, however, the hero of the
service last mentioned should not be
contentcd with his need of glory, but
should demand more substantial reward,
he may receive it indeed, but at large
discount from the other (and in senti-
mental estimation more 'valuable) con-
sideration.
Unlike the butcher, the baker and
the candlestick maker, who receive
their quid pro quo without a thought
Of humiliation, either in their own
minds or yours, the man who saves
your life at the risk Of his own is looked
upon as almost il not quite disgracing
himself by accepting your proffered pc
cuniary reward, although he may, in
fact, be in far sorer need than any one
Of the worthy trio who simply contrib
ute to your necessities or comforts. -

Review.
