ovER-SusricIous CLERK-A PooR JUDGE OF
MoNEy.-on Thursday Of last week three of our
citizens visited Philadelphia and "put up at the
Bingham House, as they had frequently stopped
there previously. The next morning one Of the
party paid his bill and came home. In the after
noon, another of the party, Samuel Iiutchison,
rendered $40 National Bank note in payment Of
Of his bill. Tho smart clerk Of the hotel looked
at the note for some time and when Mr.. IL, asked
for ais change he was refused and was finally told
the note was counterfeit and that the note
would be retained and himself arrested for at
tempting to pass 1t. Mr. II. asserted that the nots
was genuine, that he was as good judge of mon
ey as the clerk, but that he was willing TO wal
until his other friend came in. III the meantim,
he was told to take a seat inside the bar. On The
arrival of Mr. HIS friend he was informed how
matters stood, and at once stated that he woult
settle the bill with good money but the over SAT-
guine clerk, who thought he had caught dealer
in counterfeit money, could not, for some time
:" see it in that way After some further barley
ing Mr.. II. was released from the unpleasant d.
lemma and fastened, in no very good humor, Il
the depot, where ne presented the note and asked
the gentlemanly ticket agent if the note was gen
uine, who at glance decided it was, and CAV
change for it, asking at the same time if any on
doubted it, On being told OF the circumstance
at the Bingham House, the ticket agent remarked
that the note was genuine and that the hotel clerl
was greenhorn'' and knew nothing abou
money. The % note paid by the young man q
the party who left the Bingham uouse in tn
morning was also pronounced q counterfeit
by the clerk, and was redeemed by the others
and 1t was afterwards proven to be genuine
It would be well for the proprietor of ,hi
hotel to employ better judge of money tina
the above mentioned clerk, or the house migt
suffer thereby.-Orfard Press.

THEODORE TILros AT INSTITUTE HALl.-ln.
stitute Hall had an intelligent and nppreciatiye
audience, but not large one, to greet Theodore
Tilton, and his lecture on the American Woman,
Friday evening. AIr. 7. came here directly from
Washington, where he spoke on Wednesday
evening. The fatigue of travel and the eXbaus-
tion of mind on his visit to the great
political centre at this exciting period, left him
scarcely up to his usual average of high spirits,
but his lecture, except perhaps at the outset,
showed little evidence of this. The greeting by
the audience was not very demonstratiye, nor was
lis sympathy, though undoubtedly fully enter
tanned, expressed at any time with very great
hcartness.
| The lecture is devoted to thorough considera-
ton of Woman, under the present framing Of
American laws arguing throughout the necessit,
Of her possessing the ballot in order that her sit
uation may he Improved. Presenting the cas-
with great earnestness and entire sincerity forti
flying his statements with citations Of fact illus
trating his points with happy and gcniai hashc
powerful and conclusive, and it furnishes perEap
as clear and comprehensive an exposition Of til
question as is to be found anywhere. Delivere
it was, with the lecturers graceful and eloquen
oratory, it had large degree of convncemcn
with all who listened.
Mr.. Tilton left for New York, on the mid
night train.

perhaps, planted, and have been gathering
the fruits of their labor for several years.
We know a man that lives not far from
here that bought poor farm, some twenty
years ago, and there being no such facilities
IS we now have for improving land, he
found that he had more poor land than he
knew what to do with. But he made a
venture by investing few dollars In pine
seed and chestnuts. The seeds were sown
and nuts planted on one end of the farm,
near the banks Of the creek, where the land
was cut in gulleys by the heavy rains. He
soon found that he had made good invest
ment, shat 1t would pay" The whole
cost for seed, nuts, and planting, did not
amount to twenty dollars, and for this he
has hundreds of cords Of wood, and lots Of
saw logs to make board for temporary uses
on the farm. He built an out-building,
some six or seven years ago from board cut
from the products of these seed, He has
recently cut from single tree between
three and four hundred feet of square edge
boards, nearly an inch thick. 1t is true, the
lumber is not considered durable; ncvertllc-
less, there are on the farm many uses 10
which it may be applied to advantage. 1t
will answer just as well for chicken coops,
peach boxes, temporary sheltering, and
suchlike uses, as the more costly article pur-
chased at the lumber yard, at so or so dol
lars per thousand. But of the chestnut;
what OF them? Well, some grew finely;
others not so well, but upon the whole, a
| success. He only regrets that he did not
plant ten times as many. Little nuts, put
in the ground in 1910, have produced trees,
some Of which girt five feet ut the stump,
and sixty feet high, or more. In few years
more this will cut a thousand rails, and thu
stump, protected, will make timber mucl
faster than the parent stalk. He planted ,
few nuts last spring for the generation tina
is to follow. II every one would do this
posterity would have no cause to complain
of those that proceeded them.
The farm alluded to in this article, whei
purchased, had no timber on it, not even
decent stack-pole, unless there was such i
the branch. 1t now has wood enough 70
three or four farms.
In conclusion, we would say TO youn
men, and men that are not young, that
trifle in time and money, spent in this way
will pay largely in more ways than one.
will be a qualification to you to see tree
growing from your own planting. Their
are but lew, IL any, farms on which a piec
of waste land may not be found for this pur
pose. What has been done can be don
again. win yon do II?

Cotton coming over the Delaware II. Il.
One hundred md seyenty-three bales of Cotton
came North over the Delaware Road from Girls
field this morning. This cotton was shipped from
Washington,N .,ria Albemarlc and Chesapeake
Canal TO Norfolk, and thence transhlpped to
Crisfeld, thence again by rail to Amboy, N j.,
and thence, finally by boat, to New York.
We arc glad to learn that several of our VIII
mington manufacturers have commenced pur-
chasing their cotton in Norfolk, and getting 1t
shipped ria the Annamcssic route, to this city.
James Riddle, Son & Co., received Yesterday their
second shipment Of % bales from Norfolk -
Messrs. Puscy Brothers and s. NJ. Pussy, ESD,
have also received cotton from the same source.
Our manufacturers ought to be able TO get cotton
here from Norfolk cheaper than from New York;
as two freights, and one commission would be
sayered by the operation. We advise them to
examine into the matter, and also that Norfolk
