HOUSE PASSES
PENSION BILL

Under suspension Of the rules the
House yesterday passed the Sulloway
bill. granting a fiat pension to all
widows OF honorably discharged sold
iers. It's provisions We're explained by
its author. who said it involved an ad-
ditionai expenditure Of S12.741,0OO. He
described destitute widows of soldiers.
who were unable to secure pensions be-
cause Of some technicality Of the law
regarding property holdings. and re-
ceived applause when he said these
technicalities should be swept away.
Mr.. Falton Of Oklahoma, wanted to
make the penson $50 a month, but
under the rules that could not be done.
The bill was passed without division
and with only one voice in opposition.
1t was q matter of special note that
the attendance of members to-day was
the largest since the opening day.
The bill increases the pensions of
widows from IS to s12 n month. and it
IS applicable to all such pensions for
less than thae rate which have been or
may be granted under existing pension
laws.

TALKS
OF OFTROLLEYPLANS
Says Construction Will Begin
as Soon as Weather
Settles

Il expect to begin construction work
on the Wilmington END Of the West
Chester and Wilmington Electric Rail
way as soon as the weather is fit," said
President T. 70. O'Connell. "but it is
useless to attempt it yet"
The energetic official Of this new
road is very sarguine over the pros
poets OF the new road. and says he
has been used royalty by the people Of
Delaware and has all the legal require
ments necessary to go ahead with the
project.
The State has granted the charter
asked for and the company has been
given rights Of way from Whining
ton to the state line without any
trouble The city of Wilmington gave,
without pay. tie right of way along
their new reservoir front I'm Brandy
Wine hundred. only asking that the
hedges and trees be replanted in place
Of those removed.
Sufficient money has been guaranteed
to start the construction work and
more cash will be subscribed as need
ed. Several merchants have made cash
donations for preliminary work and
legal expenses.
1t is stated that all rights of way
between the Delaware State line and
Brandywine Summit, with a few ex-
ceptions, have been obtained, some
property owners still holding out for
exorbitant prices. These will not stand
in the way when the road is started,
as condemnation proceedings can be re-
sorted to if necessary.
PLANS FOR POWERHOUSE.
Mr.. OConnell has plans drawn for
a $4,000 power house at Brandywne
Summit which Is midway between
West Chester and Wilmington, and
also between Kennett Square and
Media. If these extensions are decided
upon. BY this method power and
trouble can be saved.
The specifications for the line call for
two railroad bridges, one under the b.
and o. and one over the Baltimore
Central. Seventy pound rails viii be
used and the construction will be on
the basis of a steam road. In the
rural districts bracket poles will be
used and suspension wires in the
towns.
1t is said. to start with, power can
be temporarily suppl d from a plant
In Wilmington, operated by Director
Wills Of the company, used for other
purposes. Another director who has
property near Wilmington, contem-
plates opening a picnic grounds on his
property along the line in Brandywine
hundred. 1t Is also sai1 that the OPEN
ing Of the line to a new cemetery Is
considered such boon that right of
way was granted through the property
free Of charge. The cemetery business
and the carrying Of workmen to the
new reservoir will pay expenses at
once.
There viii be a meeting of the
directors Of the new road at the Will
mington office Of the company TO merge
the Pennsylvania and Delaware State
chartered companies into one organi-
zation.
There viii also be a meeting of
citizens of West Chester and Delaware
counties at Dfworthtown. at Darling

day evening to boom this end Of the

MURDER OF A KING.

- OLICE, militarism-all the safeguards of
\ imperiasm-are insufficient to prevent as
sassnatons of royalty.
King Carlos, of Portugal and his son are but
another addition to the list of European rulers
who have fallen victims of assassins. The assas-
sination was doubtless long planned. 1t was
easily executed.
Portugal of which we hear little, has been in
a state of unrest. The liberal movement that has
been sweeping throughout Europe finally reach
ed the little kingdom The king was an ndffer-
ent ruler He had neither the love nor the respect
OF the people He seemed needless of their wishes.
He relied upon the army to protect his throne,
and only to the army had he made concessions.
The administration of the government is corrupt.
Taxes are high The yoke of oppression is heavy
The seeds OF revolution growing. But in
these days is difficult for revolutonists to con-
duct war TO overturn government with any
hope of success. Therefore, they blindly resort
to assassination of rulers the embodiment of the
government they detest
Probably the assassination of the king was the
outcome of a widespread conspiracy and not the
carrying out of an anarchists plot The govern
ment of Portugal had used repressive measures
against the revoutionsts. They struck back 1t
is not probable however that the murders will
result in any change in the political situation in
Portugal Whenever an assassination occurs in
a nation like Portugal the reactonares instead
OF yielding only strengthen their repressive rule
IN the hope of crushing out the spirit that
prompts revolt Reforms cannot be brought
about by the murder OF rulers.

PRACTICE oF JUNCTION.

"A T THE recent convention of the Episcopal

of restoring service of JUNCTION in the church,
that is, the amounting of and praying over the sick
as commanded by St. James. The committee will
report to the next General Convention which
may or may not accept its recommendation. For
many years the high church element in the Fpis
ccpal Church has ovrn urct'rr
as one of the sacraments, but the practice in the
church at large has fallen into dsuse.
The suggested revival o. tllc. iactice is prob
ably due to the growth Of the Christian Scien-
fists, who have been making heavy inroads upon
the Protestant congregations in mauv parts Of
