railroad will probably be the outcome
OF q bill introduced in the Legislature
by Mr.. Anderson, of Worcester county,
incorporating the Steel Pier and Rail
way Company Of Ocean City, Wor-
cester county. The object of the cor
poration, the bill states, is to acquire,
construct, maintain, lease OF otherwise
dispose Of any bridge, pier, wharf, dock
or marine railway or any property nee
essary for the development of or ad-
vancement of amusement in connec-
ton with a steel pier, and the usual
accessories of a casino or amusement
place for Summer visitors; for the
formation of turnpike and plank road
companies and Of passenger railway
companies for locating, operating and
equipping with motive power rail-
road along the strip of land between
the Atlantic ocean and the body OF
water comprising the Mary
land inland waterway in Maryland
and for the creation and development
| of a pier into the ocean and to provide
means of entertainment. The bill also
lauthorizes the company to provide fol
the creation Of a similar pier and Of q
railroad on or along the strip of land
before mentioned.
The places where the operations oi
! the company are to be carried on are
Ocean City and the strip of land knowr
las "Sinepuxent Beach" lying along Tho
ocean in Worcester county. The capi
tai stock is to consist of $4,000, thu
shares to have a par value of Sl0l
each. The only tax to be paid by thu
company is on its capital stock.
The bill does not give the names o
the incorporators Of the company. Mr.
Anderson stated that the men interest
i ed are nearly all residents Of the Stat
of Maryland.

TuRLEY's TRUTH.

Every newspaper in the State OF Della
wan ought to print in every issue the
paragraph below from the speech OF
Senator Turley on the Quay issue now
before the Senate. The paragraph
ought to be memorized by every mem
Der of the Delaware Legislature and
by every candidate for the Delaware
Legislature; and everyone OF them
should repeat # solemnly, night and
morning. as a little child repeats Its
prayer. It is golden political truth. II
speaking Of the duty of a Legislature
to elect a United States senator, Sen
at0r Turley said:
when the legislators fail to per
form their duty the whole fabric OF ou
government falls to the ground. Th'
trainers Of the Constitution contem
plated the people themselves perform
ing their political duties and the leg
islators performing the duties Will
which they are charged. It is not pos
sible to coerce the Legislature or to co

don his own informed judgment to
adopt their baseless guesses.
In December the president expressed
to Congress his opinion as to our
proper course in respect to Puerto
Rico. These papers howl for another
expression of his opinion, protesting to
believe that he has changed his mind
upon the subject.
The Ledger says: "The radically
conflicting statements with respect to
the presidents present state Of mind
about the policy which Congress shall
pursue in the Puerto Rican tariff mat
ter are exceedingly confusing
to the country. What his position in
relation TO that important question
was in December. when he sent his
message to Congress, everybody knows
as it then was and still is one Of Off
cial record. What it is now nobody
knows. The confusing, perplexine
doubts respecting it not only disturb
the country, but distract the judgment
of Congress. Why should he not, con
sidering the importance of the qpes
ton and the widely conflicting state
men.s which have been published
broadcast about his existing views
frankly state whether he does or doe
not now hold, as he did in Decembe
last, that it is"
Now, why should the president pa
attention to the meddlesome, impuden
demands of these would-be disturbing
little malcontent creatures? Hayin
stated his views once why should a
state them again? Until he announce
a change of views no one has a righ
TO assume that his views have bee

Secrets.

Blonde Charlotte's face is aquiline.
And Bess has features retrousse;
One has a smile like summershine,
Through which wee dimples peep
and play.
Her eyes are gems so rare and pure
They put to blush the Kohinoor;
Withal, she's such a winsome witch,
lt-well, no matter who or WHICH.
When Charlotte dons her gown of gray
And Bess her jaunty suit of blue,
The two are fairer than the day
When June is ripened through and
through.
And one is sweeter than the blooms
That pout without her curtained
rooms;
They pout, no doubt, because their
lot,
Keeps them so far from-tell I'll not!
Dear Lot and Bess are young and gay
And keep my 'wildered wits awhirl;
I know not how to break away
From one and court the other girl
For each has charms hard to resist
And each seems fashioned to be
kissed
At least, 'twere rapture to caress
That rare coquette-"Which?' Yot

Youth and Love.

Youth and Love fell out one day.
Said Youth to Love: I'll go away,
And leave you broken-hearted.
I'll go through life without your aid;
III neither gaze on man or maid."
And foolishly they parted.
OFF went naughty Youth alone;
He hummed a tune in merry tone,
And never looked behind him;
While Love, at home, was sad and
sore,
And longed for merry Youth once
more.
Alas she could not find himl
But Youth had not been walking long
Before he hushed his merry song
His heart was full of sorroW.
He found it hard to stray away
From Love, of only for a day
He came back on the morrow.
For Love and Youth apart would die
Like flowers without dew OF sky
They'd fade if they would sever!
AS long as there is tide and time,
In every land, in every cline,
Youth and Love viii be together

FAITH pIp NoT sAVE HER.

Bridgeton, n. j., March 1.-Eliza-
beth Fox died here Tuesday night from
sheer contrariness, the doctors say.
Several physicians tried their best to
get the woman to take medicine for an
illness contracted several years ago,
but she refused medicine in any form,
and believed that faith would save her
without medical advice. At least four
doctors tried to persuade her other
wise, but she absolutely refused Ia
take their medicine. The doctors say
her life could have been prolonged
some time. but for her refusal to take
medicine or advice.
