NOT THROUGH THIS WEEK
Legislature Can't Complete Its Work
Within Ten Days.

1t seems today to be the almost set
tied opinion that the legislature will
not be able to finish its work this
week, and will run over the ten day
limit which was at first fixed for it's
adjournment. Saturday will be the
tenth day of the session.
1t is now believed that the session will
continue at least half of next week
and possibly the whole week.
One of the things which is now hold
ing back the real work of the session
is the failure of the banks and bank
ing committee of the two houses to
get together earlier in the session, and
agree upon some action relative to the
guarantee deposit bills The indications
are that the banks and banking com
mittees have been waiting to give the
bankers every opportunity to organize
opposition to the bank deposit guaran-
tee bills.
1t loo now as though the primary
election squabble would not get into
the conference committee until Thurs
day, as the senate is waiting for its
bill to be printed before taking final ac-
tio3.
The house this morning ordered 500
copies of the Stubs bill printed "for
the use of the senate

One important bill that came up in
the senate on third reading today was
that by Senator Porter Of Montgom-
cry, relating to corporations, which
was, after some discussion, referred

tions which have received authority

and on the next half million dollars
one-fortieth of one per cent; and for
each million, or major part thereof,
over and above the sum Of 100000,
5000 dollars. In addition to the char
ter fee, the secretary of state is auth
orized to collect the usual fees for fl

also entities the corporation to

All the provisions of this act. in
GLIDING the payment of fees, are
made applicable to foreign corpora
lions seeking to do business in this
state, except that in lieu of a charter
they simply file a certified copy of
their charter with the secretary of
state. The same rules apply where
renewal of charter is sought. Rail-
road corporations, foreign or domes-

pose of paying off the present out

A PRESENT TO THE NATION.

Constitution Island, rich in historic
memories dating back to the Revolu-
ton, and whose rugged shore forms
a part of the beautiful landscape as
viewed from West Point, has been
presented to the United States Gov
eminent by Margaret Olivia Sage,
widow of Russell Sage, and Miss An
ma Bartlett Warner, to be added to
the military reservation OF West
Point and used by the Military Acad-
envy. The island embraces about
$50 acres of upland and 80 acres Of
meadow. Upon it are now the re-
mains of some 10 breastworks COM
menced in 1915 by order of the Con-
tinental Congress and completed by
Kosciusko. One end of the chain
which prevented the British warships
from sailing up the Hudson was at
tached to this island, and on it was
Washington's life guard mustered out

Tribute OF Respect.

On the fly leaf of first edition of Poe's
"Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque, y
written in the authors autograph were
the following lines:
at has been said for all who die
There is tear;
Some pinning, bleeding heart to sigh
Der every bier.
"But in that hour of pain and dread,
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tear
There were many tears and sad hearts
when the news went forth that Richard
Kelley was dead, and as one who had
known him. intimately for twenty years
want to pay this small tribute to one
of the best and truest friends have ever
known. For 10 or IL years was closely
associated with him in business matter
and | always found him man in the
fullest sense of the word, honest, correct,
truthful, one to be depended upon. These
years were filled with discouragements,
misfortunes and losses for the interests
was connected with, but his bright hap
by disposition did much to dispel the
gloom and inspire hope.
AS Father Tragesser said in the splen-
did pen picture he gave US at the funeral
services on Sunday, Orchard Kelley was
a thorough gentleman, the same in pros
perity, the same in adversely
He was indeed an exceptional charac-
ter his whole life was one of self sacri-
fee, patience, devotion to duty and good
deeds. think it was Robert Ingersoll
who said in eulogy at the grave of his
brother, eff every one to whom he did
kindly service were to bring just one rose
to his grave he would sleep beneath
wilderness of flowers" How truly this
could be said of Richard Kelley. He did
not have the advantage of an education
as taught in schools and colleges, but he
was an intelligent man with admirable
qualities of the mind and heart, one who
never failed to leave a lasting Impress
ion upon people whom he met and talked
with. Men who had never seen him but
once and then perhaps for only few
minutes, have frequently spoken to me
of the man in the store at Catoctin Fur
mace. Often they had forgotten his name
but never his happy, clever conversation.
His was practical education, rare
Judge of human nature, he could analize
men correctly and know them as few
could. l shall always feel it was priv
iege to have known this splendid man as
| did and to have had his sincere friend

A Tribute to the Memory OF
Richard Kelley.

The esteem and friendship we feel tor
our associates is best expressed to them
while living, and more appropriately by
deeds than words. Still it seems fitting
at this time to say few words of appre-
citation of the character and life OF our
friend, Richard Kelley, who, "being dead,
vet speaketh.
He was one of natures noblemen,
man not of great wealth, or exaulted
position, but as truly a gentleman as
ever lived, if purity of life, unselfishness
of spirit and answering devotion to duty
constitute a claim to that often msap-
piled term. Coming to New York from
his native country, ireland, he lived for
a time at Greencastle, Pa, and after
wards for while at St. Josephs near
Emmitsburg, this county, but has been
at Catoctin Furnace for over forty years.
1t was soon after his coming to Catoctln
that my acquaintance with him began,
and in all these years that have inter-
vened | can recall no act of his that was
not honest, kind, unselfish and just. In
his death the community looses one of
it's most valued citizens; but the influence
of a character like his is not measured
by the brief span of an average life;
Character is undy ing, its effects foi.good
or evil are felt long after all tt at is NOR
tai of man or woman has dissolved into
dust. And have we not good reason to
hope and believe that it is eternal in its
nature, as we'll as it's effects? Only the
body dies, the soul lives on, and free
from earthly imperfections and hind
RANGES, develops through eternity the
traits begun and cultivated here. Our
friends faith and creed must have been
as simple as childs to have produced
such results in his life, and truly "of
such is the kingdom of Heaven
