No Steamboat to PHILADELPHIA,

For the first time in eighty-two years
there is no passenger steamboat to run be-
tween Salem and Philadelphia, and for
the first time in seventy-eight years
Penn's Grove has had no steamboat con-
nections with Philadelphia.
The first regular steamboat to run be.
tween Salem and Philadelphia was the
Lafayette which started April Sth, 1925.
The Penn's grove wharf was built in 1929.
That year the Essex ram, and in 1880 the
William Penn ran.
The steamer Major Reybold was built
in Wilmington in 1852 and came on the
Salem-Philadelphia line, touching at
Penn's Grove, on May Oath, 1853. She
has never failed, to appear each spring un-
til this year. She was built by the Rey-
holds and Clarks of Delaware City and
paid for by Major Philip Reybold for
whom she was named.
She is now tied up at Salem waiting
the litigation of the owners, a Philadel-
phia party, who bought her of John DOYLE,
They claimed that the business last wear
was not what Mr.. Doyle represented it ia
he when they bought the old steamboat
also the wharf at Salem and Pennsville.

Bank Assessment Affirmed

The Supreme Court has decided that
the assessment of bank stock for the year
1905 was at the proper rate.
This opinion was handed down by JUS
tice Trencllard and concurred in by JUS
tice Swayze. The decision is based upon
the opinion in the United States Supreme
Court cases constituting statutes similar to
the tax law of 1895, known as the "Buck
law, and does not 90 upon any OF the
technical points raised.
In Salem County several thousand dol
ors has been tied up awaiting a decision,
and it is now understood that the banks
will pay the taxes, together with interest
at 7 per cent, from July l, 1906.
There has been contentious for years
over the assessment OF National Bank
stock. The "Buck' law was supposed to
allow the deduction of government bonds
from the assets as they are not assessable
when held by individuals. The Banks
get notes to the full value OF the bonds to
loans,

How to Turn in Fire Alarms.

For the. benefit of those not living in
the immediate vicinity of the Fire House,
the Fire Company has installed an cleo
trio fire alarm which is operated by the
telephone exchange. In case of fire, use
your nearest telephone, giving the oper-
ator the advice as to the location of the
fire, and the telephone operator will i'm
mediately turn in the alarm, and notify
the fire company where their services are
needed.
By the use of the telephone an alarm
can be turned in from any part of the
town in three minutes time and thus save
any unnecessary delay.

The Boundary Surrender.
Milminutnn Eyery Evening

l wilmington EVERY E'oiii"S
Very suggestive was the action OF the
General Assembly, during Its closing
hours, in respect OF allowances on account
| of the work OF the commission IN charge
| of the Delaware River boundary negotla-
tions. The compensation OF the three
Delaware commissioners for their services
in communing with their brethren from
New Jersey and for drawing a uniform
Fishery law, was fixed at $500 each.
They had asked for $1,000 each. Com
pensation of an attorney who had labored
long and arduously as special counsel for
the commission was refused absolutely.
1t also developed during the discussion
that the Legislature of New Jersey has
not yet acted upon the uniform Fishery
law that was passed by the Delaware
Legislature, in accordance with the agree
ment for the enactment of such a law by
New Jersey as well as by Delaware.
This unseemingly wrangle was a fitting
close to one of the most disgraceful chap
tiers of Delaware history. The commits
sion project has proven a costly one, and
it also comprised a lamentable surrender
of the right OF the State to jurisdiction
over the Delaware River to low water
mark on the New Jersey shore within
the Twelye-mile Circle-sovereignty
which Delaware had held for more than
two centuries. This jurisdiction had been
challenged by New jersey, and the CEN
tention had been carried to the United
States Supreme Court. The commissioner
appointed to take testimony had complet-
ed his work and was about to prepare his
report to the Supreme Court when the
Legislature of 1908 basely abonded the
contention, Oh the very eve OF its final
determination, and entered into a huma-
llatlng compromise.
The end, as might have been expected
was an unseemingIy wrangle. The entire
policy of surrender was ~discreditable,
and it is but natural that it left a bad
odor in its trail. Altogether, it is a dis
grace to the State.

Public Acknowledgement,

While it is scripturally true that ''every
one must bear his own BURDEN and Give
his own lifs," yet in that humanitarian
sense, when practical kindness is shown,
when kindness is not satisfied with good
wishes, sympathetic words or even with
prayers, but puts itself into some form
that will do good, there ONE a feeling
that ''makes all the world akin"
1t is the broader and nobler veiw l take
of the matter, and take this occasion
to publicly acknowledging heartfelt
gratitude to all who have shown an in
terest in me and my family, particularly
my fellow-workmen at Carney Point
during my critical and protracted illness.
l have been encouraged and remembered
but words fail to properly express my
t~hankfulness.
In grateful remembrance to all my
friends. L subscribe myself,

WHERE THE BIG CRY OF
LONDON GOT ITS NAME

What IS the derivation OF the name
London? This was one OF the ques-
tions which Henry Bradley set him
self to answer In the course OF a lee
ture on place names at the Lendon
institution the other day.
"A common explanation Of the name
London. or Londonium, or Londonion,
as IT was called. is that II is derived
from the words 1lyn' and din in
which case II would mean the fortress
by the lake." said Mr.. Bradley. But
in the first century 1lyn' was 1indon'
and din was 'dunon. so that the
name would have been Lindondunon.
1.-The only explanation which /. as a
philologist can give of the name is
that on this spot there was a plot OF
ground belonging to a Briton named
Londonion, which means fierce or
savage. This would seem an unde-
sirable name In the present day, but
we should remember that in those days
people called their children by such
names as wolf or bear. II this is
not the true derivation of London
cannot find out what is.
1.-The Anglo-Saxons gave names to
their children, ships and swords. but
not to inhabited places. i will give
an example of how the names of towns
originated. A man named Bright Hell
met lived on a 'toon,' or a farm, which
came to be known as Bright Helmets
toon. Many years elapse, a village
and afterward a town arise on the
spot. but the name remains, by now
contracted to Brighton.
"A tree was erected by or in memory
OF Oswald. The mans Oswalds Tree
was given to the town which arose
centuries later on the spot, and now
the name has been altered to Os-
westry."
Mr.. Bradley showed how the fact
that the Normans were unable to pro-
nounce many of the names OF places
in England caused a. material differ
ence in the spelling OF the names, and,
ip conclusion, protested against the
carelessness OF mapmakers. who alter
the names Of places and thereby cause
mi schief,
