WILLIAM 7.
SMITHERS
Historical Society Hears
the Story of His
Life'S Work.

William T. Smithers OF Dover last
night read q well prepared paper OH the
llt0 Hon. Nathaniel B. Sinithers before
tho Historical Society. The sketch fol-
lowed the life Of the distinguished Della.
warean. from his birth until death. MIR.
Sni,hors' roai work began when he was
rs years OF ago whom ho was offered the
Whig nomination for Congress aud de-
clinNd. In 1915 he wns elected clerk OF the
House of Representatives and reelected
two years later. Ho was few years la
ter again offered tho nomination for con-
gres'man, and declined again. Mr.
Smithers stood in favor of anti-slavery
and prohibition. The Legislature In 1847
passed what would now be known rs q
local option law. New Castle county took
advantage Of 1t, but Kent and Sussex
OF the law was attacked in Now Castle
county, and MIR. Smithers defended it,
but without effect. The next Legislature
adopted another local option act, which
had been drawn by Mr.. Smithe's. 1t was
also attacked, and defended by Mr.. Smith.
ers, md he won the case, thus yindicating
the legality OF the act.
Tho sketch next went Into the political
life of Mr.. Smithers, speaking of the var
ious national conventions ho attended,
and also Of his career In Congress. to
which he was elected in 1868. He had
been appointed Secretary ofStnto by Gov.
ernor Cannon. Congressman Temple. a
Democrat, who had been elected died he-
fore ha commenced his term, and q spec.
ial election WIS called, ut which MIR.
Smith hers was chosen. His public life
endod In 1896. when owas secretary OF
state under Governor Marvel. Thus his
public career Ondcd In tho same Office in
which 1t commenced.
AT the conclu sion OF the paper Mr..
Smithers was given rising vote o! thanks
for his kindness In preparing and reading
such an interesting paper City Solicitor
Conrad and Professor William A,
Reynolds, spoke briefly OF the Hon. N.
b. Smithers, and gave some personal re-
collections

LOCAL MEASURES DELAYED.
Hoped That the Senate May Take Up
the lexington Bill Wednesday,.

1t was expected today that the Ecking-
ton and Soldiers Home railway bill would
be called up in the Senate Immediately af-
ter the routine business had been trans
acted and some action on that measure Sc
cured. Mr.. Mcmillan was in the Senate
awaiting an opportunity to call up the bill,
but in the midst of the business of the
morning hour Senator Pettigrew got the
Indian territory bill before the Senate, and
at the conclusion of the routine business
that measure was pending. It's considera-
ton lasted until 2 o'clock, when the CEN
sus bill, being on the calendar, was given
precedence. At that hour an agreement
was reached that Mr.. Pettigrew's bill
should be taken up Immediately after the
morning business tomorrow, and that if it
Is on the point Of being completed 1t may
continue q short time after 2 o'clock; 9TH
erwise the census bill will come up and the
Indian territory bill will be considered dur
Ing the morning hour until completed.
This agreement will result in another de-
lay in the consideration of the lexington
and Soldiers Home and other railway bills
by the Senate. 1t is not likely that this
District legislation can be reached at all
tomorrow. but 1t Is hoped that it may be
called up on Wednesday Immediately after
routine business.
The great interest In the passage Of bills
affecting local interests in the District of
Columbia was shown by the presence Of
quite number of persons in the galleries,
and there was considerable disappointment
over further delay in reaching local legfs-
lation.
