PREsInENr RIGGs DENIEs.

Recently the Evening Journal quoted
and commented upon a report that Mr..
Riggs. of Reading, president of the
Wilmington City Railway Company,
had said that the Brandywine Springs
Company will never get into this city
Wilmington with its rails" The
matter is, of course. of very slight inn
.portance but Mr. Riggs attention hav-
ing been called TO the report he denied
having az any time made such a state
.ment, and he is certainly entitled to the
courtesy OF a hearing
p. j. Ford was seen by a reporter this
morning In reference TO the matter and
stated most explicitly that Mr.. Riggs
|emphatlcally repudiates the report, and
regrets that he should be misrepresent-
ed in the matter, especially just at this
time. when the attention OF the public
is drawn to the controversy between
the railway companies.

SCHOOL MONEY

Because Governor Tunnel Vetoed
The Bill Providing for
The Same.
HIS ACTION IS A MYSTERY

MEASURE DID NOT HAVE A VOTE
AGAINST IT IN EITHER HOUSE
OF THE LAST GENERAL ASSEM-
BLY,. ~
II has just come to the notice Of State
Treasurer Ball that Governor Tunnel
has vetoed the act authorizing the
state treasurer and the governor
jointly. to invest for the benefit Of the
state school fund the $4,000 which
reverted to the fund by the reduction
OF the capital stock Of the Farmers
Bank OF Delaware The announce
ment was made this morning.
The failure Of the governor to ap-
prove the bill. which. by the way, had
not a vote against IL in either house OF
the last General Assembly, has led to
much comment. and as the governor
has never been called upon for his rea-
sons for so doing. his action remains
a mystery.
The money is now on deposit at Do

GREATEST THING
WORLD"

On Tuesday evening next Mrs.
lie Mcyne comes TO the Opera House in
her new play. The Greatest Thing in
the World" Mrs. lie Moyne plays the
part of a widow, Mrs. Bryant, whose
efforts are directed entirely toward the
social and moral regeneration Of her
son. who has inherited a taste for
drink from her father, now dead. He
appears I'm her ballroom drunk. and,
to conceal his degradation, the mother
covers her own breaking heart with
the mask of Momus, and by a skillful
assumption of high spirits carries of
the situation until the boy Games to his
senses. The boy has also raised a
check given by his younger brother
guardian. from 81 900 to $4,000. The
guardian. a stern Scotchman, insists
that the boy must be prosecuted, but
the mother, though she has given her
love to another. offers herself in mar.
riage to the guardian If he will be le-
nient Ultimately, the Scotchman's
heart grows SOFT though he refuses hel
sacrifice, and the mother finds her owl
happiness after securing that of hei
son. Incidental to this story ther,
are three love themes which parable
each other through the play. II Is al
most unnecessary to add that 9Th,
Greatest Thing in the World" is love
not only the love of man for woman
but that tenderest most universal love
so rarely depicted on the stage-thl
love or q mother for her children.
