BANKRUPTCY LAW IN EFFECT.
Not Much Business Will BE Done Be-
fore November

Washington, Aug. This is the date
set for the new bankruptcy law to 90
into effect, but on account of an over
sight on the part of the trainers of the
law it is not expected that there will be
any important business under the new
law before November l.
The law provides that the United
States supreme court shall frame rules
for proceedings in bankruptcy, but as the
supreme court had already adjourned
when the measure was passed and does
not reassemble until October, no rules,
forms and orders for procedure can be
issued by the court until it reconvenes.
The law also provides that petitions for
voluntary bankruptcy shall not be filed
until after the expiration of 80 days, and
petitions for involuntary bankruptcy un-
til the expiration of four months, 50 that
there will be little business done under
the new law until November
The district courts, however, have been
empowered in case the necessity arises
before October, to make their own forms
and rules of procedure, which will have
a binding force and effect until the SUI
preme court meets. 1t is not anticipated
though, that the district courts will take
such course to any great extent, owing
to the future complications likely to
arise.

A Precious Bit of Shamrock.

II. Phelps WhitmarSh writes in the
Century of The Steerage Of Today"
Mr. Whitmarsh draws this picture of
one of his companions in the voyage
that he made:
kneeling in an upper bunk near me,
a middleaged Irishman was hanging
a pot containing a shamrock plant. l
entered into conversation with him, and
learned that he was going to join his
son In California. to whom he was tax
ing the shamrock as present II hope
it will live" he said, looking wistfully
at the pot as it swung from the beam.
" Twas the wan thing the bhoy want
ther, AN come over. have enough
for the both of us, now, says he; AN
| can make you comfortable for the
rest av your days. But, says he, fetch
me livin' root ay shamrock if We
cam"
All Sunday we were In smooth water,
running under the lee of the Irish
coast The day being fine and warm,
the steerage swarmed on deck in full
force. Men, women and children all
crowded about the after hatch, some
playing cards, some dancing, and some
already making love; but for the most
part they lay about the deck, sleeping
and basking in the sun. In the after
noon my friend the irishman appeared
with his shamrock. He wanted to give
1t taste Of fresh air, he said. AT
sight of 1t many Of the Irish girls shed
tears; then, seating themselves about
the old man, they sang plalntive Irish
melodies until the sun went down. The
sad faces Of the homesick girls and the
old father sitting among them holding
In his lap the precious bit of green,
presented a sight not easily to be for.

THE TRADING STAMP FIGHT.
The rlerchants Against 1.-THE Fooilsh
Merchants VIII Awaken to the Fact n
That What Benefits the Majority
Is Considered Good Law.

The General Assembly will resume its
sessions to-day. 1t Is thought that sort Of
an agreements will be made between the
Senate and tho House over tho reception Of
new business. The Legislature has now
been in session two weeks and nothing has
been done toward any legislation.
1t IL expected that & lobby will be on
hand ibis week to fight the trading stamp
bill while the merchants Of the city will
fight the passage Of the bill.
The members OF the Legislature show
willingness to do all they can to help the
merchants Of Wilmington and will with
out doubt pass the bill. II tho trading
stamp business Is not killed az once there
Is a feeling that 1t may on smaller scale,
spread to some Of the other towns. They
do not want this ootapus to spread to their
own towns down the Peninsula and there
fore show q perfect willingness to help
knock Y out OF Wilmington.
The idea appears to prevail That the new
charter OF Wilmington which may be
passed by the Legislature will be the one
drafted by the Municipal Commission. The
bill will never pass as 1t CAME from the
hands Of tho commission. but will be
loaded down with SO many amendments
that the father Of the bill will not know
1t. That there Is two other charters can
not DO denied. This Is one Of the peculiar
legislations that the Republican members
will have to watch II they wish to catch
the snake. The only charter that will
stand any chance Of passing the Senate
will be one that will put the Democrats In
entire control Of municipal affairs Of our
city for years to come. With the proposed
new charter in effect there will be little Il
any use Of the Republicans voting In local
elections for the next ten years. The
terms Of notaries Of public may be cut
down from seven to four years and the
Where there used TO DO four notaries inthe
city there are now one hundred aud the
cry Is for more.
