The Late Legislature.

Every Evening: The General Assembly
of Delaware adjourned sine die, last night.
1t died reluctantly, but, impelled by pub
lie opinion, and lacking any decent pre-
text for longer continuing in existence, it
finally consented to give up its grasp and
expire.
'ihero will be general feeling Of relief
throughout the state to-day at this an
nounceinent. Ordinarily, when legisla.
tive session comes to an end, something
good can be said of it, Its work can DO
reviewed, and Instances of good legislation
pointed out as creditable results Of the
labors OF tho legislature.
But with respect to the Legislature of
1897, all the good legislation that 1t may
have accomplished is cast in the the shad-
ow by the record CT incompetcncy and OK.
travNgance that It built for itself. 1t will
be remembered with no feelings of graft

down into history as the meanest logisla-
tive session that the people Of Delaware
were af1l cted with.
However, the Legislature at least did
well TO adjourn sine die. great many
people had despallingly come to the belief
that it would hang on until its existence
was terminated by act of limitation. But
1t finally consented to dismiss itself, and

EDWARD tat
MALLS DEATH
Removes From the COm=
munity an Old and Re-
speCted Citizen.

The death of Edward Tatnall removes
from tho community one OF the oldest ana
best known residents. He was SO years OF
age. born in Wilmington and lived hero
nil his life. He was born In the fourth
house beyond Market street bridge on the
westerly side of Market street, in what
was then termed Brandywine village, q
separate and distinct settlement from the
city of Wilmington. Later Mr.. TatnalIs 3
father had the hCuso adjoining on the
south side erected, and now stands to-day
in good condition. Mr.. Iatnall's parents
were Friends, and Edward also was OF the
same religious calling
Ho lived in the village for many years
and the remainder of his life was spent in
this city. He was educated in John Ru.-
lock- school and in the Friends school.
Mr.. Tatnall was farmer by occupation
but his tastes ran TO the study of botany
and of scientific research pertaining to
the study of flowers plants, ETC. He was
an active member of the Natural History
SoUiety of Delaware, and 1t Is said that he
did more tramping around Now Castle
county to secure and to study specimens
of natural history than any other resident.
Ip this manner he accun ulated valuable
herbarium, which was presented to tho
Natural History Society, recently. HIS
knowledge of trees and shrubs also stood
him in good stead when he was superin-
tcndent of Brandywine Park several years
ago.
Mr.. Tatnall was perhaps the pioneer
fruit Gamer in the United States. His
love for the study of fruits, plants. etc,
led him to embark on small scale in the
canning of fruits. This was before the
civil war and all fruits, especially peaches.
were preserved by the swcetening process,
hut it was desired to preserve them in

one of the first to accomplish this. From the
beginning in a small cannery, in portion

ware and in fact. the country. 1t was
then that Mr.. Tatnall relinquished opcrat-
ing the cannery.
About that time William r. Smith
interests with Mr.. TatIall they began on
Il small scale the manufacture OF maj ohes.
This was in the city pumping mill. Hen
~ 3. Courtney was one of the match
makers, and after three or four years.
Messrs. Tatnall and Smith disposed of
their interest in the plant to Mr.. Court
ney, who possessed the formula for mix
ing tho ingredients of tho matches. About
that time William H. Swift combined
with Mr.. Courtney, thus forming the
great match manufacturing company,
which eventually built the large plant at
Fourteenth and Walnut streets.
About tifty-four years ago, MIR. Tatnall
married Rachel Webb daughter of Jalnos
Webb, tho ceremony being performed in
tho Friends meeting house at Ninth and
West streets. A widow, one son, and
three daughters survive him.
Mr.. Tatnall Is the last Of large family.
His funeral will take place Tomorrow af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock.

A LITERARY CHOICE.

I've read and I've read and I've read,
O'or hundreds Of books have pored,
But give me tho book that reads as If ID
Was writ with the point of sword.
Inks all very well in its way,
But don't want ink any more.
Tho book that want is one that's been
writ
With grewsoraely gurglins gore. r..
And, while am fond Of my sleep,
My mods and my maps I'll forsake
For the tale that is warranted night after
night
To keep me a-staring awake.
A tale that is made up entire
OF thunder and blizzards and sea
And muskets and cannon and sabers and
shot
Is tho tale that will satisfy me.

The Klondike Rush.

Notwithstanding the warning given
by those in authority and who have
made an investigation, that the peo-
pie going to the Klondike are in very
great danger of starving to death
aud that there is little chance for a
man striking it rich the rush bids
fair to keep up and even reach
greater proportions than it did last
year. Only 7 per cent of the people
who are there can get work at any
thing but prospecting The country
is frozen waste and nothing lives
there. The territory instead of be-
ing small place is as large as the
United States east of the Mississip-
pi river. The chances Of finding
gold over this scope of territory is
very small but there seems to be no
way to impress this on the prospec-
tors. Last year there was twice the
gold taken out of the one state of
Colorado that was taken out of all
the territory of Alaska. Distance
however lends enchantment to the
view and thousands of persons I'M
needing the warnings of reason lured
on by the delusive glitter of the en-
chanted land will rush headlong in
to the icy grasp of death. To the
credit of the town it can be said
that there has as yet no one devel-
oped the determination here to brave
the horrors OF the mythical Ell Do
