CENTURY CLUB NOTES.

The club members were unusually
favored ON Wednesday with two able
book-reviews, the first being James
Lane Aliens Reign of Law, a tale of
the Kentucky Hemp Fields, which
Mrs. John p. Salisbury brought fresh
ly before us in recounting the pure
and simple love of "David and
Gabriella," so beautifully interviewer
with the fragrant hemp, in manner
to almost watt to us it's sweet odor,
thus leaving an agreeable aftermath
of pleasing story. Miss Kate Hannah
sang with even more than her usual
sweetness the gentle melody, ''Ala-
bam& Coons;" Mrs. M. III, Ashman fol-
lowed with an exhaustive review of
Robert Grants "Unleavened Bread"
In CHASING Selma" as "a clever COM
posite," but by no means type of the
American woman, Mrs. Ashman met
the approval of all in the discussion
which followed, and the authors
knowledge of a typical club woman is
regarded by the Dover Century Club
as erroneous and unsound.

NO MORE DRY DAYS"
AT THE STATE HOUSE.
Enough ''EEot Stuff Has Arrived To
Vary the Monotony OF Days when
NOthing's Doing.


The third story of the grand old
State House of Delaware yesterday be
came well stocked with stimulan;s
Quantities of bottled beer and liquors
donated to the General Assembly by
Wilmington and outside brewers and
importers arrived in carefully packed
boxes and barrels and were carried to
the third story and unpacked in THE
offices used by the clerks. The liquor
is Within reach of all the Assembly
men, so that whenever the legislation
becomes extraordinarily dry they can
step upstairs and vary it bit
Asked why the State House was
chosen for the scene of the free dis
tribution, one of the assemblymsn
quickly replied that that had been the
custom for years. When asked if the
free distribution of liquor from the
wholesalers had not some bearing on
the localoption issue another assembly
man replied that he Thought not, but
that it was just complimentary gift
to the General Assembly, the same as
other little favors received during the
session.
Clerk William T. Deighton of the
House, positively refused to have any
thing to do with the distribution of the
liquor. lit is customary for the clerk
to allow his rooms in the third floor
to be used for the safe keeping of the
stimulants, but Mr. Deighton, who is
a churchman, refused to occupy the
room if the liquor was kept there and
gave up his keys to one of the MEM
bers, saying that he was very glad to
be clerk of the House, but did not i'm
tend to be a walking speak-easy.

In the Senate yesterday, Mr..
Clements presented a bill providing
for changing the remuneration of the
Secretary of State. 1t provides that
he must hereafter turn over all fees
into the State Treasury and accept a
salary of $2,500. The Union Republic
cans will, of course, oppose the meas
ure, believing il to be a direct blow
at DR.. Layton, the new Union Republi-
can Secretary of State 1t may pass
both houses by a coalution of the
Democrats and Regulars, but if Gov
ernor HUM vetoed it, the Senate could
not muster a two-tlhirds vote to pass
it over his veto.

Tunnel.
The Delawarean., 1901-01-19

Legislative business suffered severe
ly in Delaware this week, and beyond
the introduction of few minor bills
early in the week everything else was
forgotten over the TWO all-a'bsoribing
events, the first joint ballot for United
States Senator, and the confirmation
or rejection of DR.. Caleb r. Layton,
the Addicks leader of Sussex county,
and Edwin r. Cochran, the Demo-
cratic lawyer of Wilmington, now en-
joying The office of municipal judge to
which he was appointed recently by
retiring Governor Tunnel.
The Senate, therefore, accomplished
little else. Immediately after the We'd
nesday noon recess, Secretary of State
Hughes was announced by the SER
geant-at-arms with a message from
The Governor. He had come with the
appointment of Caleb r. layton of
Georgetown, to be Secretary of State,
and the Senate at once went into exc
cutive session. The appointment Of
Judge Cochran and score of other
magistrates was to come up by prior
resolution skillfully worked through
the. last secret session by Senator
Alice.
outside, the suspense was painful,
The Regular Republicans hoped that
Layton would be turned down, as his
confirmation would surely be a serious
weakening of their lines against the
Addicks attack. The Democrats, of
course, knew that their members
would fight Addicks to finish on amy
move. The feeling was intense.
Finally the doors were open, and it
was announced that Layton had been
confirmed and Cochran rejected. The
vote on Cochran was a strict party
vote, the Democrats even having been
aided by Farlow, who is not now taken
into their councils because of his as
sociations with Addicks. Governor
HUM will therefore appoint Repub-
lican for the term of twelve years as
huhlCIpdl JuuSS VI w llAulAS tOu, plOU-
ably Regular State Chairman Philip
@. Churchman.
The vote confirming Layton is some
what in doubt, because of the secrecy
pledged among the Senators, but it is
said on good authority that Senator
Farlow voted with the Union Repub-
licans because he believed Il Governor
had the right to app tint when he
pleased for his Secretary of State;
Senator Harrington (Dem.,) also be-
cause he is a brother-in-law OF DR.
Layton, and that Knox and Ellison,
Regular Republicans, refused 10 vote.
The truth of the vote could not be
fully .ascertained, but Senator Alice
said afterward:
''We confirmed DR. Layton by clear
majority, and this ended transaction
which was the dearest thing to my
heart next to the election of Addicks
for Senator. And Furthermore, I re-
joice in to-day because it witnessed
the first conference of Union and Reg
ular Republicans together" He re
ferred to a conference held at o'clock
over the appointments.
The other appointments confirmed
included JAMES Vanarsdalen, TO be
magistrate for New Castle, and Frank
e. Maloney to be oyster revenue collec-
tor for the State. and ten-other magis-
trates.
The rejected appointments included
that of Magistrate t. %. Culbreth of

HOuse--Thursday.

The House Thursday passed the Sen
ate joint resolution urging Delaware's
representatives at Washington TO ad-
yocate the purchase by the Govern
ment of Moor House and Temple farm
at Yorktown, Va, to preserve as a
historical landmark the scene of Lord
Cornwallis' surrender Of THE British
Army.
Representative Hutchinson present.
ed a bill relating to the race of people
inhabiting central Kent and lower Sus-
sex counties, commonly known as
Moors. They are nearly white and
do not cohabit with the colored people
and yet have to he entered ON the reg
istration books at each election under
the column "Black." The bill provides
that there shall be a separate column
for ''Moors" or "Mulattoes."
Representative Scotten brought in a
'lbill enabling the State to have full ac-
cess to the accounts of express com
panies doing business in this State
and paying license according to the
extent of their business.
Representative Baynard brought in
his bill calling for "a complete rear
rangement of the public schools of the
State. which will cause them to be
open much longer during the year, to
have a uniform curriculum and to have
a better scale of salaries. The bill is
one of the most important of the ses-
sion.
The bill providing for the corporal
punishment of wife-beaters is now
fully before the Senate. 1t was brought
in Thursday by Senator Clements and
provides that not less than five lashes,
nor more than thirty lashes shall be
inflicted with or without an hour IN
the pillory.

Fridays Proceedings.

Representative Finn, from the Com
mip,ee on Appropriations, reported
back favorably to the House the APP
propriations of $4,000 to the Della
ware State Hospitals at Farnhurst and
$1,500 for the free ambulance service
in Wilmington. These were two of the
appropriation bills which it was feared
that the Union Republicans would hold
up out of revenge to the Wilmington
Assemblymen. The Farnhust appro-
priation calls for the customary al
lowance from the State of $4,000 for
ten years and the payment of $4,000
sundry debts.
Mr.. Baynard made the objection for
The Republican side and said that the
sum was too large ito be hurried
through without any consideration.
He had great confidence in the man
agement and felt sure that they wanted
this whole amount. He was, however,
opposed to railroading appropriations.
Messrs. Finn and Shallcross hurried
to the rescue of Farnhurst's institution
and Mr.. Clark added that he wished
those who have charge of the insti.u-
gion-as noble set of men as ever IN
dertook public service-God speed
and good will and hoped that not one
word would be said on this floor
against it. Mr.. Kitchens also spoke
for it and they apparently overcame
all opposition, for it passed.
A bill was presented by Mr.. Holcomb
yesterday regulating the payment of
wages to employees, providing for at
least a bi-monthy payment.
A bill was introduced by Mr.. White,
which amends the game laws so that
the killing of squirrels is prohibited
under the same law as rabbits and
quail are protected. Mr. White pre-
sented another amendment, which pro-
hibits the shipment of wild geese and
duck out of the State, thereby denying
the residents of Delaware the pleasure
of living on these delicacies.

CLAYFOOL HOTEL DIRECTORS.
CO Over the Plans, Which Are
Now Ready for

At a meeting of the board of directors of
the Claypool Hotel Company last night the
plans of the architect were taken up and
considered in detail. Except in some minor
points the plans ave been approved, and
are now ready to be submitted TO contrac-
tors for their bids. The directors expressed
the desire that all the work of erecting the
building and finishing it should be lone by
indianapolis contractors, If possible, and
they desire TO give the local bidders every
opportunity to get the contracts. So that
no contractor who wants to bid may be
overlooked il is desired that all local, gen.
eral and subcontractors who want to bid
on the work as a whole or on any part of
il shall send their names to Henry w.
Lawrence at the Bates House. Contractors
should state whether they want TO bid on
the whole Of the work or a part only, and
what part. Bidders will then be notified
at what time they can have the plans and
specifications. In this way the directors
hope to give every contractor in the city
who desires TO bid an opportunity to do so.
