THEWITCHINGHOUR
APLAY THAT GRIPS
Presented Last Night at Grand
Opera House by John Mason
and Superb Cast

Its's not Partially nor exaggeration to
say that the finest piece Of dramatic act
Ing seen on the Opera House stage in
years was that given last night In "The
Witching Hour" by John Mason and his
superb supporting cast. It's truly a play
that grips from beginning to end. The
story OF the play leads into fields untrod-
den. scarcely--if at abby any OF the older
or later day dramatsts. Augustus Thomas
is the author. '"rhe Witchlng Hour has
TO do with mesmeric Influences or meta
physical research 70 which very many
intellectuals are now giving time and in
vestigation. It's an effort to demonstrate
by means OF pictures Of real everyday life
and action that thought is a dynamic
force which exerts itself for good or evil
over the actions of others and that the in
dividual from whom such psychic innu-
ence proceeds is morally responsible for
the good or evil that results. The many
forms OF mental therapeutics. however
have not yet been arranged IN constructive
form. but some have been demonstrated
TO be scientific facts. The play Is essen
TALLY melodramatic but with interests
human and fascinating. It stirs the feel
ings. stimulates thought and ennobles The
mind. all OF which make It the kind Of
drama that grips. and leaves with those
who witness Il a morbid desire 20 see Il
again. The construction OF the play story
reads not unlike thesis put together by a
craftsman Of craftsmen. and told smooth
iy and Interestingly by men and women
who seemingly had their being IN the
characters OF the thesis The interests OF
the story are rather complicated. but they
arc welded together with compactness and
skill. There are many moments OF SER
iousness and pathos which are varied by
humorous speech and witticisms
Every character Is sympathetically hu-
man and therein lies the greatness Of the
drama. Mr.. Thomas may be wrong OF
right in his metaphysical thesis as woven
into his characters. endowing some as he
/ does. namely Jack Brookneld. a noted
card sharp and gambler. and Mr.. Justice
! Prentice, OF the Z. S. Supreme Court
whose characters. trials. Ideals. thoughts
and ambitions are directly antthetlcal ono

CORPORATION MILL
FEES TAKE A BIG DROP

1T will be noted that the balance now
TO the credit of the general fund exceeds
the balance received by me four years ago
b ymore than $4,000. This balance would
have been much larger had there not been
heavy falling on in the receipts from
franchise taxes.
An examination OF this statement will
show the receipts from franchise taxes
for the year just closed to be So, 0,7s1.0l or
si9,0S7.S3 less than the preceding year Tho
corporation fees received from the secre-
tary OF state for the year just closed were
S42.io3.5o. less by SsS491 than the receipts
from the same source for the preceding
year This statement Of the receipts from
these sources and especially the continued
falling OF of receipts from the corpora
tlon fees received by the Secretary OF
State would seem TO indicate that the ad-
vocates Of the law passed by the last ses-
sion OF the Legislature were mistaken in
advocating a measure so greatly reduc-
ing the amounts TO be received from cor
porations, nor should 1t be forgotten that
under the provisions OF this law there viii
be still greater reduction in the fran
chse tax rate rate, and the total Of fran
chise taxes during the coming year will
probably not exceed one half Of the re-
ceipts forfthe year just closed II should
not be forgotten, however. that we have
been passing through a term Of business
depression which may have in part con-
tributed to the result referred to above. %
Treasurer Rawlins records that $4,000
OF state bonds Of the loan of 1907 were

sinking fund. BY this purchase about sis.-

On January /, 1906. $4,000 OF state bonds
we're redeemed with moneys already in the

during Mr.. Rawlins' term s55. 900 OF state
bonds were bought with moneys already in
the treasury, in addition TO meeting other
obligations Of the State.

unable to collect $500 Of a school fund

a set of resolutions adopted by Po.
mona Grange OF Kent county opposing
the State House project and DEALING

are:
'Resolved. That we favor a heavy
state tax on public pool tables, believ-
ing that these tables lead to idleness
ana tendency to gambling among
the youth of our smaller towns.
1t Is well-established fact thai
when there is rapid and easy communi
cation between different sections that
all property is enhanced in value ana
social conditions vastly improved.
Resolved, That we favor the prop.
osition for the State to lend it's credit
toward building the contemplated troll
ley line for freight and passengers
the length of this State between tho
Delaware Railroad and western shore
OF Delaware bay and river, provided
this can be safely done.
I'm view of the fact that our state
House has recently been enlarged by
the construction Of a Senate chamber
and a room for the State library, ana
as there seems to be ample acconmoda
tion for all State officers, therefore
Resolved. That We earnestly protest
against building a new State capitol
