gage In an amusing game with thim-

Plainly she thought Archie had plenty

told her about the bandits. The negro

100000 in Bank.

The balance of the State Treasury ac
counts last week showed the finances in
very satisfactory condition Eighty
thousand dollars is the total of what the
recent Legislature and the claims it passed
cost the State of Delaware, exclusive Of
the official salaries list for the two year:
to intervene before the next legislative
session.
The payments have all been completed
by State Treasure Moore, and, while Leg
islatures cost money, yet, because Of
some wise revenue legislation which is
bringing additional income to the States
special revenue collector. Mr. Chairs,
all these claims have been paid and the
State survives. In fact she has, it is be-
lieved, about S2O6, 600 balance in bank in
all three funds.
Not before nine months, if at all, will
it be necessary for the State to borrow

appropriation recently authorized by the
retiring Legislature, and of the new items
of receipts like those from the public ser
vice corporations and banks and manufac-
turers continue to come in promptly
there will be no need, it is thought, for
the State to effect the loan.
The amount was authorized when the
State appropriated SIS, 600 year for two
years to the society ard commission APP

the citizens of the State, and it was then
feared that the money would not be on
