city emerged from the doorways they
were confronted with a mantle OF white

a shudder, but finally made them con-
clude 10 brave the storm and get TO
their homes as quickly as possible.
BY midnight there was at least four
inches OF snow in every portion Of the
city. Fortunately there was little wind
and there were no big drifts. Tho
snow was wet and lay where it fell and
the flakes seemed to grow larger and
larger as the hous passed.
The trolley companies were prepared
70 rtheo mergency and as soon as the
officials found that the storm was ex-
pected TO be severe ono the sweepers
and snowplows We're sent out ON all
the branches Of. the lines IN order that
they might be kept clear for the regu-
lar traffic. which resumed as usual this
morning
on the river navigation was danger

penetrable veil and the men in charge
Of the vessels preferred to anchor

Third House" a Menace
to the State

One Of the important measures sup
ported by the Peoples League Of Del
aware is that for the regulation and
control Of the paid lobby which now IN,
tests the state capitol and annoys and
embarrasses the members Of the Com
eral Assembly.
SO great a nuisance has this lobby
become that many members have con-
sidered banishing these hireling agents
from the State House altogether. The
lobby has become so notorious and it's
alleged methods so questionable and
widely known that some legislators
hesitate being seen talking 20. or IN
company with members Of this Third
