Crouch, son of the late Benjamin Crouch,
and George Sparks, youngest son OF the
late Solomon Sparks, were in field near
the village of Fairlee, in Kent county,
where VIM. H. French was reaping wheat.
During q thunder shower the three boys
were struck by the lightning and George
Sparks, aged about seven years was IN,
stanty killed. The other two were stunned
and knocked PROSTATE, and were taken to
Chestertown, about seven miles distant, to
receive medical attention.
From Baltimore to the Eastern NOre.-Untll
few years ago, Baltimore had a monopoly
of the marine railway business on the
Chesapeake, and almost every bay craft
stopped there once year to haul up,
repair and paint. But that city IS losing
that business. There are now marine raul
ways at Annapolis, Oxford, Crisfield, New
town, ST. Michaels and Cambridge, all OF
which seem to be doing thriving business
and they are all taking business away from
Baltimore. 1t looks now as if the whole
of this business would be drawn from Balti
more to these various Eastern Shore places
Connected with the railway business are
ship chambers, sail-makers, riggers, ship
smiths, caulkers etc, and wherever a rail
way has been established there is an in
ducement for these industries and an in
vitation for a Baltimorean who finds busi
ness dull and living high to come wher
rents are low and living cheap, and where
he will have a chance to make work plenti
full. st. Michaels and Oxford have givel
employment to many idle Baltimore ship
carpenters and caulkers in the last tw
years.-6t MichacLs Comet.

GROWERS VS.. SHIPPERs.-It seems to be
an impossibility for the men who grow
peaches to agree with the men who trans
port them, Notwithstanding the common
interest that is evidently involved. For
years the fruit growers met at Dover and
organized conventions. They as collec-
tive body found fault with things they
were powerless to remedy, and finally so
shaded their practical results with windy
chickering's that they dwindled below a
quorum and lost the influence they wished
to exercise. The Dover peach meetings
dwindled into comparative nothingness.
This year a change of base was effected by
shifting the conventions to Middletown.
But what was begun at Dover seems to be
continued at Middletown with only greater
energy. The capacity for quarrelling is
only the better developed by the change of
location. The feelings of the growers
against the railroad officials are all the
time intensified, and we fear the parties
will work out only the rusults of the past,
viz: quarrel away what influence they may
have possessed. 1t is said "he who looses
his temper looses his cause" and surely
the last meeting at Middletown lost its
temper The point at issue between the
Co. and growers was the charter question.
The Company decline to charter cars to
shippers, as formerly, and the meeting,
unable to change the purpose in this par
ticular, set to tongue-lashing President
Hinckley to the roundest Some of the
growers at the meeting even said they
wanted the peaches left to rot on the trees
rather than ship them. But this met with
no response, and only showed more plainly
to the Company the weakness of its adver
saries. True, the Company promised some
thing better in lieu of the chartered cars
but without paying any heed to the
promise the growers went right on showing
their bad temper and made Hon. B. T
Biggs the scape-goat for their i'll feeling.
The truth Of the matter is, the r. R. Co
has its idea of how the peach crop shoulC
be moved, and the growers have theirs, anC
it seems impossible for the two ever t,
harmonic, unless the fruit should becom
a sure paying crop, like it was at the start
Then the growers will be in good humo
and be satisfied all around.
The point is, that the growers had bette
do nothing than to weaken their cause b
pickering. They put themselves to dis
advantage by such conventions as the
hold. Why meet to cry over what the
cannot help?

CARE OF INFANTS IN Hot WEATHER.-Ata
recent menting of the Philadelphia County
Medical Society, Prof VIM. Goodell, of the
University OF Pennsylvania, spoke on
infant hygiene. He said that much sick
ness is caused among infants in hot weather
by too much clothing. In regard to food,
he said the infant, as long as it thrives on
it, should have no other food than the
mothers milk until it is year old. If the
mother has not milk enough, he thought
that in cities cows milk was the best
substitute, and, as most of the milk sold in
cities is apt to be diluted before sold, he
would not mix any more water with it. If
the milk is absolutely known to be pure,
then it should be diluted one-fifth and
little sugar added to it, when the nearest
approach to the mothers milk obtainable
is had. He also disapproved Of boiling the
milk for infants, but thought it ought to be
given cold. To prevent the ill-effects of
the churning of the milk by hauling it in
halfflled cans over the stones of the
streets, he suggested that parents should
have cans to hold just the quantity needed
and have them filled and the tops screwed
on at the depots. He strongly favored the
use of condensed milk in cities as the best
possible food for infants that had to be
reared on the bottle. He also condemned
the use of nursing bottles with flexible
tubes, on account of the temptation to lay
them beside the. child and allow it to
suck until it is overfed. An ordinary
bottle, with a gum nipple, is far better,
because it is impossible for the child to
nurse itself, and it is not so apt to get
indigestion by overfeeding. No child
under two years old should be allowed to
sit at the table with adults and eat the
same food. Starch food are very harmful
to infants. =
DR.. Atkinson indorsed Prof Goodell's re.
marks in favor of the use of condensed
milk and against allowing young children
to eat the same food as adults.

THE VISITING GovERNoRs-Th Philadel-
phia papers state that the proposed visit of
the Governors Of the several States and
Territories to the permanent exhibition in
August bids fair to be an extensive affair,
the city of New York, through its mayor,
having recommended to the city council
that the city extend formal invitation TO
the Governors to extend their visit to that
city. Boston is also moving in this direc-
ton, and from present indications these
distinguished citizens will be entertained
royalty to and from the great exhibition.
The Philadelphia councils have recon-
mended the favorable attention Of Phila-
phians to the subject.

CAN 1T BE TRUE?-During the GAIL day"
meeting at Bethel A.. NJ. E. Church, our
attention was called to a rumor, that in
Smyrna, Delaware, "colored people" are
not allowed the privilege of entering, or
worshipping in the Methodist church of
that place. At the first mention of the
matter, we said there must be some mistake
in this. But from quite reliable sources
we were assured that such is the fact, and
that recently, highly respectable colored
gentleman, was notified that it would be
better for him not to attempt to enter the
Church, as it was the feeling among the
white people, that having Churches of
their own, they ought to go there. We
are thankful, very thankful, that our
brethren of African descent are not so
proscriptive, and do not exclude persons
from their places of worship on account of
their color.
The above is from the Christian Standard
of Philadelphia, (Rev. j. S. Inskip, editor
and refers to a little transaction that took
place here last winter. All the Standard
has to do is to wait until time knocks
the prejudice and force Of political educa-
ton out of many in our community, as it
has been doing so successfully since the
war, and the people here will have no hesi
tation in believing that if negroes have q
right to heaven, they have a right to trave
on the way with the rest of earth's pill
grims. A colored youth from the North
who had been used to attending only white
peoples churches, because he had to attend
them or non. Ill he didn't know it wa
wrong - r. Il. Delaware what he wa
expected to do in another State, and he wa
present two or three nights at the NJ.
Church during the revival in January last
The Church did nothing to prevent hir
coming, but some individual in the congrt
cation was injured(2 by his presence, after
was discovered that he was not of purel
white parentage, and the injured part
asked him to please attend his own churc
in the future. So the youth went ther
after to the A. M. E. Church. If the yout
had happened to belong to either of til
other denominations he would have bee
debarred of his church preferences, bl
fortunately for him he was not as it ha
pened, The Standardmust bear in mind th
the party was injured by the colored boy
presence. 1t may not see how, but su,
was the case. 1t was not necessary for Il
youth to attend the white peoples sar
tuary, neither was it necessary for anybo
! to get injured at his presence, but ma
were far all that, and they could not Ike
in. Time, as we said before, viii heal /
calamity and the prejudice that caused
and when it does such injuries will look
silly in our eyes as they do to peo,

"REMINISCENCES OF GEN. JACKsoN--The
venerable Gen. VIM. o. Butler, one of the
heroes of the war of 1912 and of the Mexican
war, and the democratic candidate for Vice
President on the ticket with Gen. Cass,
now lives in Carrollton, KY. He said of
Gen. jackson to a writer in the Cincinnati
Commercial short time ago that he was
little read in books. "Indeed," said the
General, Il do not remember seeing any
books at his house but the Bible and
hymn book, and probably copy of Bun
yans Pilgrim Progress but he was an in
defatigable reader of newspapers, and was
thoroughly posted in current events, and
especially in politics. While possessed of
little technical learning, his common sense
was boundless. He had an intuitive
knowledge of men, and an influence over
them that was unlimited.

President Hayes attended the commence
ment exercises at Harvard College, near
Boston on Wednesday, with his Cabinet
officers. In the procession to the hall he
was escorted by President Eliot and fol-
lowed Immediately by ex-Chief Justice
Bigelow, Gov. Rice, Charles Francis Adams,
the Cabinet officers, and other public men.
The degree of L. L. D. was conferred upon
him during the exercises, and called forth
a great deal of applause. In the afternoon
a banquet was given at Memorial Hall, and
speeches were made by the President, Gen.
Devens, President Eliot, Mr.. Key, Carl
Schurtz, James Russell Lowell, and others.
Most of the speeches were patriotic, and all
were heartily applauded, that of Gen.
Devens particularly. A banquet was given
to the President in the evening by the City
of Boston.

Mrs. Hayes the Presidents wife present
ed herself in pleasant light on Wednes-

CURED before Mrs. Hayes was out of her
carriage and had one Of the children in
her arms, striving to soothe its frightened
cries. Fortunately no one was seriously
injured, the overturned vehicle was righted
and all concerned proceeded on their way
