NOT THE WORST WINTER
Fifty and Sixty Years Ago Cold
and Storms Equalled or Ex-
cceded This Seasons.

Mr.. J. Frank Reybold, of Della
ware City, who was in Wilmington
yesterday talking of some winters Of the
past, declared that the weather tiss sea-
son was not worse than that which has
frequently recrrred in the past When
small boy he recalled attending the
funeral of his grandfather. Major Philip
Reybold. when the roads were so drifted
that it WIS necessary tu dig open the
highway from Reybold to- the 81. Georges
cemetery. He remembers that almost
the entire distance the snow was piled on
both sides of the funeral carriages higher
than their tops The cold WAS intense
The funeral was ia March. which
brings to mind that most Of orr bad
weather has followed tho custom OF
arriving in the third month. and proving
that the i'll name that has attached to The
FIRST spring month Is deserved.
TIE blizzard of 1898, il is recalled,
occurred In Mareh--tho eleventh. On
that occasion Mr.. Roybold had an
experience quite unusual-also connected
with funeral. His wife had gone TO
Philadelphia TO the burial of her grand
mother and was returning the night of the
storm which so quickly stopped travel
lie drove to kirkwood station 10 meet
her. and spent the remainder OF the
night on the way home, which he reached
after hard Gght through the snow. Mr.
Reybold in describing the storm says
that it was so bad, almost terrifying.
that neighbor seriously offered him one OF
his fine farms to take him to his home a
few miles from Delaware City.
Mr.. Roybold recalls that in March,
1856, a winter Of unusually low tempera-
ture. the canal at Delaware City was
frozen TO the depth of IS inches, or in
some of the more exposed sections
almost TO the bottom. This year the ice
was from II to 10 inches thick.
Later in the seventies Mr. Reybold
recalls another unusually rough winter
when late in March the roads were piled
full of snow and in many long sections
fences were buried far out OF sight be-
meath mountainous drifts
So after all the present winter is not
worse than many OF its predecessors still
in the memory of the elder generation.
Few Delawareans, however, remems er
a freak blizzard Of such violence in which
were combined almost all manifestations
OF all the elements IS that OF Friday last.

BONUS FOR SOLDIERS
IS UP IN MARYLAND
Makes $40 a Month for Service
Minimum for Men and Women
Who Served.

N Baltimore, March 11.-Considerable
quiet work for and against the 50, oOO, ,ooc
Soldiers Bonus bill in the Legislature has
been going on at Annapolis recently and
IL is likely that within the next few days
the fate of the measure will be settled
How it will be settled no one can foretell,
for seldom II ever has there been a bill
before the Legislature about which MEM
hers and administration officials have
been very retioent.
The fact is that this bill has caused
widespread attack of old-iashioned
"cold feet" Those who really favor the
bill are in the open, OF course.
The chief features of the bill now in the
Maryland legislature are these:
Would give $40 for each months service
to every man or woman who served Tor
90 days or more, with % per cent adj
tiitional to those who were In battle, and
allow $50 month up to 81 ,oS0 Tor those
who wish to go to school.
Adiutant- Generals records show 81, 800
men were in various branches of service,
but has no record of army nurses.
Records show that $3.50 of the total
number were Negroes.
Because of incomplete records, amount
required for bonuses Is uncertain and the
appropriation might make State unable
TO pay its obligations.
Would cost State 1000, 900, and might
go as high as Sl2 100000.
If paid from direct taxation, would add
81 cents To State tax rate.
If paid by bond issue, would add 3
cents to State rate for each of next two
years, and 6.3 cents for each 13 years
following.
Ii paid by inheritance tax, would levy
from l to 10 per cent on all estates of
decedents.
