The meter is designed primarily for

that purpose. While there are many
of the poor customers of the company
who have the meters Of this kind in

which the company considers its best
customers who have the meters of this
kind in their house for the sake of con-

The prime object of the meter is that
those who have the meters in their

it is it can be burned and as such
proves to be a valuable addition to the
appliances.

The Delaware General Assembly has
had considerable work for several years
in the matter of voting for United States
Senator's. Mr.. George Gray was elected
in 1887, and Mr.. Anthony Higgins in
1889. In 1891 there was lapse, but in
1893 Mr.. Gray was again elected. In
1895. after 2l7 frnitless ballots--that is
fruit'ess because the United States Sem
ate refused to seat Republican who was
duly chosen-the General Assembly ad-
journed and Delaware was credited with
but one Senator until 1897, when Rich
ard r. Kenney was elected and seated.
In 1899 successor to Mr. Gray is to be
chosen. and in 1901 a successor to Mr..
Kenney will have to be named. Thus it
will be that out of eight successive regu-
lar sessions OF the General Assembly
there will have been contests for Senator
in seven Of them. Balloting for Senator
seems to have become chronic here
