Dover, March 1.-The House, yester-
day, passed Representative Davis bill
providing General Corporation law.
The bill, in some respects is like
the New Jersey law. 1t was prepa ed
by Legislative Attorneys Hayes, Polk
and Churohman, assisted by Secretary
of State Hughes, and required labori-
GUS and careful work on their part, az
well as ON the part of the joint commit
tee on private corporations. The mem
bers of the committee, as well as all
the Representatives, are heartily pleased
with 1t, and think it will invite many
corporations to Delaware and COM
mensurately increase the States rev.
enue. The House amendments, typo
written, fill 80 pages of legal cap.
Owing to their great length, it is
inadvisable to attempt to give synop-
sis of the bill, or even an extract Of
the amendments.
When the bill was heing put before
the House for final action, the reading
clerk and the three attorneys were
called into service. To aid them in
reading, the quartet freely used lemons.
The final reading required nearly, BIG
hours. The House passed the bill
unanimously.

Gov. Tunnel. yesterday, sent to the
Senate, for confirmation, the following
appointments; Willard T. Smith, to

nouncement of Mr.. Tammany's APP
pointment was accompanied by letters
from many Sussex countians, who
earnestly urged his appointment. The

two years.
MANY DELEGATIONS.
The State House was thronged with
visitors yesterday. The largest dele
cations were composed Of opponents Of
the bill requiring the electric railway
companies of Wilmington to pay an
additional city tax and advocates Of
the bill authorizing the Board of Di-
rectors of the Street and Sewer De
partment of Wilmington to borrow
money for improving streets. The
chances Of the latter bill passing are
decidedly slim. Another delegation
came here Tor the purpose Of urging
the passage Of bill enabling ply
sicians who hold certificates from nedi-
cal examining boards Of other States
to practice medicine in Delaware with
out being required to pass examination
in this State.

DovER's WOMAN DENTIST.
Dover's woman dentist has not vel
received from the State Board Of
Dental Examiners a certificate enabling
her to practice dentistry without hav'
ing to pass examination. Such Ger
tificate has been prepared, and is ir
the possession of Representative, but
the House bill in relation to the
practice of dentistry must be passed by
the Senate before the board will permit
the certificate to be given to tn,
woman. 1t is said the board is cunning
especially for certain dentists practicinf
in Wilmington, and that it threaten!
TO prosecute the woman if the Senate
does not pass the bill. To prevent the
board interfering with the woman, I
bill. one repeating the law now regu
lating the practice of dentistry, il
being held In reserve, and il the boart
this bill will be introduced.
