.LEGISLATUR TO ADJOURN
MARCH THE EIGHTH NEXT
RESOLUTION TO THIS EFFECT PASSED
BOTH HOUSES OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Much Agitation Among Politicians as to the
Election of a Uuited States Senator.
Addicks Men Hopeful.

Both Houses of the Legislature by
resolution last week set March as the
time for adjournment sine die, and no
new business will be received after
February 90. This makes the time for
final adjournment and for receiving
new business just one week later than
proposed in the original resolution in
troduced by Senator Slaughter.
When the resolution which was
adopted by the Senate was called up in
the House, it was not cordially re-
garded. Representative Robertson
thought that March was too early for
final adjournment, and while just sixty
days from the convening of the Legis-
lature would expire then it would be
in better grace for the members to re-
main until March at least.
Other members were of the same
opinion, and the amended resolution
setting March s as the date for ad-
journment went through unanimously.

WHERE is ELIJAH'S GOD.
Has the Prevailing Prayer Ceased or is the
Power of God Shortened.

Has the prevailing prayer ceased, or
is the power of God shortened? These
are questions of vital interest which
come to the christians minds, as he
reads the items of religious interest in
our Smyrna papers. Paul proclaimed,
eye men of Athens, Him whom ye ig-
norantly worship. Him declare 1 unto
to you" Men may have changed in
views since those days, times certainly
have changed, notifications have
taken place in worship also. But
looking at the religious principles of
to-day, has the power of God changed,
or the efficacy of prayer weakened.
Elijah proved beyond all doubt that
the power of God was gloriously
abundant, and when the effectual
prayer was offered the people stood
amazed. Has the God Of Abraham,
Isaac or Jacob changed is the ques-
ton to be considered. Let christians
then, l mean Gods true children, look
to the true standard of the churches
spiritual life, and asked themselves is
it with us to-day?
Why then shall it be proclaimed to
the world that the true church Of Jesus
Christ is disappointed, weak in power,
dead in vital interests. Is it not time
then that christians discovered where
the inability lay, and where the lack OF
power is wanting. Christ is appealing
through the gospel to the unconverted.
Is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ
preached with truth and grace to-day ?
His promise is sure, my grace is suf-
ficient for you. Why then, il Paul's
appeal on Mars Hill is still ringing
through the centuries, are the people
still worshiping the unknown God?
Ought not christians then of all de-
nominations arise and make and uni
ted effort that the churches be
awakened, every member put ON the
garb of righteousness, and Christs true
spiritual work be disseminated until
Gods glory be made fully manifest in
our midst?

COST OF VIEWING FUNERAL.
Prices Of Seats Along the Route of Process.
sion Almost PrOhibillve at the Funeral.

Along the route of the funeral pro-
cession of Queen Victoria Saturday
purple and black and purple edged
with white or silver prevailed
The shops and houses along the
route were prohibitive except to
people of means. Nothing could
be had under G5, and windows
are considered cheap at ESQ, or $3.50.
A house near Victoria Station fetched
e5OO for the day. The price for seats
in Piccadilly was 91O head. Bal
concies on Cambridge Terrace brought
e42, and one person paid 3 guineas for
a doorstep. Indeed, standing room
bIought good sums everywhere.
Business of every description was
at a standstill on Saturday. Only the
restaurants and public houses were
open and even these remained closed
until o'clock. None of the evening
papers.
President McKinley's wreath for the
Queen was among the finest received.
1t was a simple wreath, eight feet in
diameter and two feet wide, all white.
1t was composed of lilies and Arum
lilies, which were specially selected
because of their gigantic proportions.
Depending from the wreath is a
broad silk ribbon inscribed in silver
lettering, "From the President of the
United States" 1t took six workmen
two days to make the wreath, which
was sent to Windsor by special mes
senger.
Mr.. Choate, the American Ambas-
sador, sent cross seven feet high,
composed of camelias, lilies of the val
ley, white roses and white tulips. A
card on the cross is inscribed, From

Garfield, also sent wreath.

however, that such registration may
corrected as hereinafter provided at
any time prior to the day of holding
the election.
Representative Healey thinks Will
mington should derive some revenue
from railway companies operating i'll
Wilmington, and he will introduce
bills with that object in view. One is
to require all railway companies in
that city to pay to the city tax equiv
alent to per cent. of their gross earn
ings. A similar bill two years ago,
was killed because of the determined
opposition by the stockholders of the
Wilmington City Railway Company.
Another act is to require all railway
companies to pave streets on which
their tracks are laid from curb to
curb.
Under existing statues the decisions
of referees appointed i'll magistrates
courts to hear cases are final, and no
appeal can be taken from their judg
ment. Representative HolcOmb will
introduce a bill providing that appeals
from decisions of referees can be taken
to an upper court.
Senator Alice gave notice of bill to
provide for the punishment of persons
who missplay or embezZle funds held
in trust. At present if an executor or
administrator should misplay or get
away with funds left in his trust, the
only legal retribution can be secured
through a civil action on the bond of
the delinquent executor or admins
traitor. By the act of Senator Alice
such acts by persons in charge of trust
funds will be made criminal offence.
In the House Thursday, Mr.. Hol
comb introduced his bill to require
tenders to be placed on all trolley and
cable cars operated in the State. For
each offence fine of $50 is to be i'm
posed. Representative to strike out
the color ond age columns in registra-
tion books, thereby abolishing those
entries, was introduced and referred.
The House concurred in the Senate
joint resolution ratifying the Thir-
teenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States.
Senator Abbott wants the divorce
laws amended so that service in divorce
proceedings eau be had outside the
State. He will introduce bill con-
tanning provision for the serving of
subpoenas in other States, when the
presence of persons in divorce pro-
ceedings is required.
Additional grounds for divorce
would be prescribed if bill to be in
troduced by Representative Gooden's
bill will add ''imcompatability of tenn
per" to the causes enumerated as ten
able grounds for legal separation by
the courts.
Senator Pennewill will stand as
sponsor for bill to restore voters as
sistants.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD HELP ELECT.
Joseph Burchenal Writes to the Dover Index
Concerning Senatorial Situation.

Joseph Burchenal writes to the Dover
Lnder endorsing it's position of elect
ing two Regular Republicans-tha
any other position will be instrumental
in making a hole in the political sky of
the Democratic party that will not be
bridged over for years-and says:
''It is a fact undisputed that the
Democrats owe a large debt of graft
tude to the Regular Republicans for
past favOrs, for without their aid and
assistance at two elections prior to the
last, the State could not have been car
ried by the Democrats, and now the
opportunity is at hand so repay them
and show they are not unmindful of
the past, by joining them in electing
two Regular Republicans to the United
States Senate. Such a course, Mr..
Editor, would in my judgement elm
mate Addicks and and all that pertains
or relates to his obnoxious methods
from the State forever.
