letter.
Hon. David G. Rose,
Dear Sir: As In5ra-
rian Of the Historical Society ofDelaware
want to say that the comments which ap'
peared in regarding the
appropriation which had been recommends
ed by your committee for tho Society in no
wise expresses the sentiment Of either the
members or officers OF the society. 1t
would have besn been very pleasing to our
membership II your committee could havo
seen Its way to have appropriated five hun
dred dollars. as we reques led, but know
ing the conservative feeling that exists
among the members Of your body we feel
that in recommending the appropriation of
three hundred dollars you were doing
very fair part by us, and with that amount
We feel sure that the usefulness of the So
ciety can be materially extended. There
Is no tendency to critlcise the action of
your committee, but on the contrary I
wanted to assume both you as chairman,
and the entire membership of the commits
tee, of our feeling of qualification with the
sum which has been recommended by your
committee
Yours etc. Henry G. Conrad.

Mr.. Robertson reported favorably back
to the House the bill regulating the man
ner of drawing and summoning Of juries
with an amendment providing for the
drawing of the jurors from the two politi-
cal parties polling the largest vote ut the
previous election. The original act which
met Its Waterloo on the floor Of the House
early in the week provided for tho iu dis
oriminale drawing Of the jurors but this
was not the objection which caused Its de-
feat. The bill places the drawing with the
Superior Court.
Second readings were given the bills reg.
ulating the admission Of patients to the
Farnhursu Asylum, equalized taxation

The Senate joint resolution c0ndemnatOry
Of polygamy was returned to the House by

Mr. McNulty gave notice of an act as a
substitute for the General Corporation act
now before the House.
1t provides that any incorporated COM
pany can renew its charter or increase its
CAPITAL stock, tor period OF not more than
twcuty- years. by simply signing and
accepting the constitution of Delaware,
and then filing record Of their, official act
with tho secretary Of State. TO whom they
pay state tax and fees. This act will, Of
course go out of effect whom q general sin-
corporation act, such as that one now be-
tore the House. shall have passed.
Existing corporations are anxious re.
garding the outcome OF tho fight over the
general incorporation act. While the new
Constitution provides that existing corpo-
raiions may renew their charter for four
years pending the passage Of the general
act, the stockholders Of such Corporation
are naturally anxious to project themsel-
yes, whethera general incorporation act
goes through or not.
