GRAND MAsTERNHoLDEN
 FAvoRs THE RESOLUTION.
Bill Before Congress to Permit Elm
 blems or Insisnias to Be Inscribed on I-embstonss in National Cemeteries

A copy of the resolution which has been introduced in the house of repre- sentatiyes by Congressman Harrison of Mississippi directing the secretary of war to permit emblems and insignias to be inscribed on tombstones in the national cemeteries of the United States has been received by Grand Master Justin Holden of the Connecti- cut grand lodge, A. F. and A. M.
 It is probable that he will advocate the lodges in this state taking up the matter with the Connecticut delegation in congress, as he considers the bill a good thing. At present tombstones, slabs or markers in national cemeteries can only be marked with the name of the deceased. Grand lodges of Iowa and Mississippi have favored it. The grand chapter of the state favored the resolution at it's session this week Many who will be buried in national cemeteries would like the insignia of the order to which they belong placed on their stone, but this is impossible now.

 Reduce Age Limit
 Another object was to reduce the age limit from seventy to sixty and relieve a good many old people from the requirement of the poll tax. This purpose suggests its own equities. The very fact that the collection of the personal tax causes so much disturb ance is sufficient argument that it Is sufficient,

Good vaudsviIIe and Motion Pictures

Good sized /houses Monday after noon and evening greeted the meritori- ous programme billed for the first three days of the week at the Audi torium and each number met with apparent approval. comedy num- Der is the topline attraction of the vaudeville programme and is entitled At Camp Rest presented by the Carter Taylor company. Mr Taylor shows exceptional ability in the character of tramp comedian and he is ably SUD- ported by his lady companion and her bulldog.
 A number that is a novelty and an excellent exhibition of nerve and skill on the tight wire is that presented by the Atlas Trio Two members of the trio, little boys, perform stunts on the wire that would be most creditable to far older athletes. Billy Shean gives a performance of singing and hard shoe dancing that adds to the pleasure of the programme.
 Good motion pictures complete the bill, the feature film being The Ami mated Weekly No. 8.

Things to Be Considered.

He said in part: There were several things to be considered in drafting the bill: First. there were the conditions attending the collection of poll and communication taxes all over the state. This was farce. Second the tax col lectors were afraid of their jobs If they were required to collect the tax they felt that their political doom was sealed if they attempted to enforce the law. Ii is but fair 10 say that there were illustrious exceptions. Third, there was the general objection to making such a radical change in q long established law; and, fourth, the con nection was so close between the com mutation tax and the national guard that there was a strong feeling of re- luctance on the part of that body and it's friends tO the passing of law which altered the method of collectiug money for it's support

Purpose of the Bill.

The purpose of the bill was to afford an opportunity to those alone who are a ble to pay. to contribute d small share towards the support of government and payment of the numerous benefits they enjoy at public expense and not throw all that expense on the prop erty tax payer The old system of the double list of poll and communication taxes was so obnoxious and confusing that many escaped taxes entirely, and there was a persistent effort 10 avoid the latter and no very strong effort tu enforce the former. The commuta ton tax was no enforceable against aliens and that individual enjoyed the ietn- argy which attended the collection Ut the poll tax
 There is feeling among a good many that the man who pays his rent pays his landlords tax and should therefore not be called upon 10 pay a l poll tax. or personal tax. There is no greater fallacy than this The fact is that each fellow pays his own tax and where he fails to pay his tax Il follows of necessity that his neighboI
 is obliged to pay it for him.
 No Burden on the Poor

Excursion Out All Night

The steamer Columbia, loaded with
1000 Knickerbocker Club moonlight ex.
cursionists, met with an accident on the
return trip from Augustine Pier Monday
night, and did not reach Wilmington
until about o'clock Tuesday morning.
While the Columbia was attempting TO
land at New Castle about 2 o'clock, the
steal er struck one OF the stone ice piers
off that city and broke four OF the paddles
on the starboard side. The force Of the
impact was SO great that the paddle box
was demolished. The shock caused alarm
among the passengers, who rushed to the
decks, but they were soon quieted when
they saw that they were in no danger.
The Columbia drifted peacefully in the
river for several hours until the repairs
were made.
