The bill fixing the salaries OF the CLERKS
of the House and Senate came up at !
O'Clock as a special order. Mr.. Garnett
moved TO reconsider the vote by which
the House refused, on Tuesday, to agree
TO Mr.. Stubbs's amendment allowing the
Clerk of the House salary of $1,000 per
aanum. The House reconsidered its action
by a vote of 46 TO 40.
The question then came up on the
amendment. and Mr.. Winborne offered as
a further amendment that the Clerk or
the House receive salary of 1900 for his
entire term Of office. instead of 81 800 per
annum. as provided I'm the substitute. Mr..
Winborne said If the House desired to pay
an annual salary TO officers who only
worked few months during two years
then he had nothing to say. but he wanted
the taxpayers TO fully understand what
action the body had taken.
Mr.. Saunders said as far as he was
concerned. he was not afraid for his con-
stitnents TO know that he favored giving
the Clerk of the House of Delegates an
annual salary of $1,000 per annum. lie
thought that sum was not an exorbitant
one. i'm consideration Of the duties which
that officer had TO perform
Mr.. Parker said he had looked up the
matter. and found that since 1873 no Clerk
of the House OF Delegates had received
a salary of less than $3.50 per annum.

then nut before the body, and was de-

took the common moth found around cleo

Resolutions on Mrs. Birds Death

The Needle Work Guild hsltl its annual
meeting yesterday and passed this resolu-
ti0ns on the rscent death Of Mrs. Levi G,
Bird.
'ltis our sad duty to record the death of
our president. Mrs. Levi g. Bird, the per-
sonal valued friend Of each member of this
guild. Through Mrs. Birds efforts the
Wilmington branch of the Needle Work
Guild Of America, was established fy,
years ago. This beautiful charity owes its
growth and continuance to her devoted
earnestness, through years Of illness; and
when physically unable to work for it, sho
gave it her best thoughts and attention
even up tn tho last week of her life. Surely
we can offer no moro loving tribute to our
friend than to endeavor, with our best Of
forts to ksep uD, in the spirit that she car.
ried into the work, this charity that she
loved because it was 80 far reaching in its
benefits. 10 the poor and suffering her
heart was ever open; she was indeed a lover
Of her felIow-beng. To us all tho loss is
great.
I'VE shall over fool her strong personal
influence and shall cherish most tender!y
hor life and work among us, sorrowing
most, that here we shall SEQ her face no
