REMOVAL OF DELAWARE COLLEGE.
Those Interested in Delaware College Have
Not Decided What Course to Pursue.

Those interested in the proposed re-
moval of Delaware College to Will
mington have not yet decided what
course to pursue, SO me are in favor
of having a bill drawn providing for
the removal of the Institution to Viii
mington, while others are inclined to
drop the matter out of respect to the
wishes of the board of trustees who are
opposed to the removal.
1t has been decided, however, not to
drop the matter, but to keep up the
agitation for the removal of the institu-
tion to Wilmington or the establishment
of a college in WilmingtOnif it takes
several years to accomplish the result.
Some are in favor of dropping the Del
aware College incident and endeavor-
ing to have a college established at
Wilmington. 1t is thought that num-
erous business men and manufacturers
would contribute to such a movement
and that in time Wilmington
might also assist in the work aud ap-
propriate some money for the purpose.
1t is generally understood that Will
mingtoA could not afford to give money
toward the removal of the college there
at this time.
There is talk of opposing the bill in
the Legislature to give Delaware Col
lege S2j, 900 for another building on
the ground that the money would be
lost by putting the building in Newark.
The chances are, however, that moth
ing of this kind will be done, as those
interested in the matter do not wish tC
hurt the college wherever it may be,
but desire to improve it by eventully
bringing 1t to Wilmington.

GERMANY,S FINANCIAL TROUBLES.
Gloomy View Taken By the Secretary Of
the Imperial Treasury.

The gloomy view taken by Baron
Won Thielmann, Secretary of the Ger
man Imperial Treasury, seems to be
justified by the grave financial trou-
bles now threatening Germany. The
sudden slump in mortgage bonds
threatens to create a serious and wide
spread panic in that country. As
there are more than 1000, 600, 900 of
these bonds in circulation the rush to
sell them at almost any price is an ex-
tremely serious matter. Two banks
have already gone to the wall under
the strain, and if the panic among the
holders of the stock should con tinue it
would be likely to cause still more SER
ious failures.
1t has been evident for some time
that Germany was suffering a reaction
from the industrial boom of few
years ago. In that country, as In the
United States, there was large expan-
sion in industrial stocks. The reac-
tion began more than a year ago, bring
ing marked shrinkage in the values
of all industrials.

EXTRAORDINARY SESSION CALLED.
Governor Smith Calls the Maryland Legisla
ture and Gives -Four Specific Reasons.

Gov. John Walter Smith has called
the Maryland Legislature to meet
March 9Th. This is said to be to dis
franchise the negro voters.
The long expected proclamation by
Governor Smith convening the Leg
islature in special session was issued
Wednesday evening. The Governor
fixed upon March for the beginning
of the extra session so that it will not
be interrupted by the Inauguration of
President Mckinley on March 4. The
proclamation is accompanied by u
statement to the people of Maryland,
giving the reason which, in his opin-
ion, justify this action. This extra
ordinary session, the Governor
holds, has risen, first, from the neces-
sity of prompt census our population
under State authority IN view of the
palpable errors and dangerous and un-
justs results in certai of the counties
under the recent Federal census:"
second, from ''the imperative neces-
sity of prompt alteration" of our pres
ent election law; third, from the press
ing demand for the protection of "the
suffrage from bribery and to secure
the secrecy of the ballot, +" and, fourth,
"the necessity for the prompt passage
of an enabling act authorizing the city
of Baltimore to provide without further
delay an adequate sewerage system. {"
The Governor adds that under consti-
tutional limitations the session will
necessarily be brief, so that the ex-
pense cannot be great, and that "leg-
islatiOn will be confined to the special
subjects for the consideration of which
the extra session is called"

YOUNG STUDENT STABBED.
Walter Jones Plunges a Knife Into Arthur
RuddelI at Conference Academy Dover.

AS result of quarrel growing out
of an attempt to haze Walter Jones,
Arthur Ruddell, fellow-student, had
a severe stab wound in his back.
Both young men are of prominent
families, Ruddell being from Balti-
more and Jones is from Sudlersville,
Nd.
Jones, who is alleged to have in
flicted the wound is theological stud
ent preparing for the Methodist min
istry. No serious result from Ruddell's
wound are feared, and no legal action
In the case are excepted. The affair
was guarded zealously from the public
for several days.
According to the story of the occur
renee, :Ruddell was twitting Jones at
the academy few days ago, when the
latter objected to the treatment he
was receiving. A quarrel was precipi-
tated during which Ruddell received
a stab wound in his back. Jones is
accused of having inflicted the wound
with a pocket knife. DIR. l.. A. H.
Bishop was called to the acad-
emy and dressed Ruddell's wound
The knife blade came within an ince
of running Ruddell for life. Had the
blade veered slightly toward the spinal
column it would have severed the YER
zebra, producing paralysis.

PROHIBITWE CIGARETTE
BILL BECOMES A LAW
PASSED BOTH HOUSES OF THE LEGISLA-
TURE AFTER SPIRITED DEBATE.
Senator Brasure Fathered ii in the Senate
and Representative Clark Lead il through
the House After Much Opposition.

Despite the opposition of a big
lobby, a lively parliamentary debate
and spirited speeches, the House
passed Senator Brasures prohibitive
cigarette bill by final vote of 10 to
IA. 1t now requires only the signature
of Governor HUM to end the sale of
cigarettes, cigarette tobacco and Gig
arctic papers in this State.
The bill was reported unfavorably
by the House committee, though
passed almost unanimously by the
Senate, and its opponents considered
it practically dead until Representa-
tive called it up for final action. Both
he and Representative Clark were
ardent supporters of the bill, and urged
its passage on the ground that it will
save from ruin and worthlessness
many of the lives of Delaware boys.
Mr.. Clark read the following letter
from a cigarette smoker, pleading for
the passage of the bill;

Cigarette smokers as rule would be
glad to stop smoking them, but as
they cannot they welcome anything
that tends to stop them. This bill
of Mr.. Brasure's is the only thing that
can stop them. A bill that limits the

thought the new law was made neces-

there are statues prohibiting the
sale of cigarettes to minors that are
not enforced. They vigorously OPP
posed Representative Moore's motion

Representative Baynard said he was

vote for the bill in its present form.

commit was lost by the vote of 12 to %,

FEE FOR MARRIAGES.
Though Few People Know it the Amount is
Fixed by Law and Can Be Collected.

Fixed by Law and Can Be Collected.
While few people know it, there is a
fee fixed by law for performing a mar
riage Ger emony in this State 1t has
generally been supposed that the size
of the fee depends wholly npon the
liberality and ability to pay of the man
getting married. Such is not the case.
On page j94 OF fhe latest Revised Code
of the Laws of Delaware, the fee is
fixed at S150.
There is no law forbidding a minis
ter, the mayor or the justice of the
peace performing the ceremony from
accepting a larger fee, but the Officiat-
ing clergyman or official can demand
$3.50 and receive the support of the
law.
1t is not expected that this discovery
will induce men about to be married to
reduce their fee from the customary S5
or $40 to $3.50. 1t might have a good
effect however, if some ministers who
have been given large envelope con-
tanning one cent, would have the groom
arrested and compel him to produce
the other one hundred and forty nine
cents.
1t is thought the law was intended
to prescribe a fee to be charged by a
Justice of the peace or mayor for mar
rying couple, but it does not say so,
and therefore applies to ministers of
the gospel as we'll as others having
the right to perform the marriage Ger
emony. 1t has been suggested that
the ministers of the State go to the
Legislature and have the law amended
so as to allow them to charge higher
fee, but it is not likely that such ac-
tion will be taken. 1t is deemed un-
necessary in view of the fact that most
people already give a larger fee than
the one prescribed by law.
