THE short-sighted policy Of the
members of the Legislature in not
passing liberal corporation act,
Is losing thousands upon thousands
of dollars for the State. Look at
the condition OF the State Treasury
and then contrast it with that of the
Treasury of New Jersey. There is
one thing certain and that Is that
this State should by all means have
a.liberal corporation act passed.

Frozen W alter Pipes Caused Explosion

FrOZen W HteF Pipes CNuSed FXpIOs1on
Baltimore, Feb 11.-Frozen water
pipes caused a fatal explosion in the
kitchen Of the female department Of
the Home of the Friendless Druid Hill
and Lafayette avenues. yesterday.
Martha Boliskey, aged years, was
instantly killed. Florence Reifsnyder,
aged 10 years, was SO badly burned
that she died few hours after be-
ing removed to the hospital. Mary
Welsh. cook, was seriously burned.
The explosion seems to have resulted
from the action of the cook in lighting
the fires in the range when there was
no water in the pipes, the steam which
caused the disaster being generated
from the water in the kitchen boiler.

WORD came from Dover Yesterday
from our correspondent that all Of
the Regular Republicans with two
or three exceptions would vote for J.
Edward Addicks for United States

ton go vacant as it did four years
ago. The break may not come un-
i'll the last day of the session. but
II the signs count for anything that
IL the way the Senatorial fight is at
this writing. If such be the fact
enough Regular Republicans will
turn in and help to elect Mr.. Ad-
dicks United States Senator. Sew
:ral of the members have thus be-
lore expressed themselves that soon
er than let the Senatorship go by
default, they would vote for Mr.. Adj

SAMUEL PEG has been in trouble
twice, being brought each time be-
fore the Court. His counsel on both
occasions, Mr.. Austin Harrington,
has succeeded in clearing him. The
first time he was tried for killing a
colored man and the evidence was
sufficient to CLEAR him. This time
he made a narrow escape on the
charge of selling liquor to minors.
But the evidence did not in any
manner implicate him on this charge
and the jury which had been drawn
to try him brought in a verdict Of
''notguilty. i" Judge Boyce in charg-
! ing the jury said: at will be observ-
ed that the words of the statute rel
ative to minors, insane persons, ETC.,
are restricted to sell or give away
only There is but one count in
the indictment, and it is charged
therein that the defendant did un-
lawfully sell intoxicating liquor
It was not proven at the trial that
PEG did sell liquor to Annie Conner
and Lille Houghten, but he did sell
liquor to Thomas Cavanaugh, who
In turn treated the two girls twice,
each time to glass Of beer. This
case was very important one as it
was in reality test case. Deputy
States Attorney Cooper said at the
return Of the verdict that he would
have drawn up a bill to hereafter
cover Just such cases. It will make
1t penal offense to sell or give Ii.
quor to minors, or to permit minors
to drink on the premises. Any sa-
loon keeper canght selling liquor to
young men or women should be fined
and then his license revoked.
YESTERDAY is said to have been
the coolest day in this section of the
country for century. Think of
that, and its no Joke that it has been
hard to keep warm sitting alongside
of a red hot fire. The weather man
has certainly turned on the cold
wave valve with such intensity that
the poor plumber will this year reap
fortune and can dictate his own
terms of settlement. The weather
Is so zero like that the Wilmington
boats have been compelled to tie up
at their wharves and take Il vaca-
tion owing to the ice in the Della
ware. The >utferings of the poor
must be something beyond magma
ton. This is the weather that by
burning plenty OF coal you can keep
warm.

Some are born with n fortune of vigor

mediocre legacy Of vitality which rem

improve or waste that property, as he
chooses. for there are self made men
physically as well as financially; those
who, because of ancestral wasteful-
