The receipts of peaches yesterday
at Baltimore amounted to about 5000
boxes, principally Smocks, which sold
In the morning at from so cents to
81. 10, and in the afternoon from $l.IO
to $l.2O per box. Reds brought from
60 cents to 81. The packers were at
work on tomatoes, and paid but little
attention to peaches. Sweet potatoes
were abundant, but the demand was
good, and prices ranged from 1926 to
$3.50 per barrel. Watermelons took
jump owing to light receipts and
outside orders Fine selects sold at
from SIS to $50 per hundred, and
prime lots Sc to SO.

A Water Melon Phenomenon.

Last evening we were shown a
rather remarkable freak of nature in
the way of water melon which was
raised by Elias Queen, colored, on
the farm where originally stood old
Camp Parole When the melon was
cut into, the letter "W" was formed
by the meat Of this luscious fruit on
one side, and perfect and visible in
dentation Of the lines ofthe letter "W"
remained on the other side. Rather
a phenomenon in the water melon
production, and so remarkably strange
did it appear to Elias that he threw
his cloak of superstition over it, and
refused to eat of the fruit thereof, and
straightway took it to Mr. Geo. M.
Duvall, a man in whom he had i'm
plicit confidence. Mr.. DuvalI being
struck with the singular impression
of the fruit, brought it to the CAPT
tai Office

THE FIRST DIsERxCF.

As the time approaches for the congres- sional convention for this district popular sentiment seems to be &rystalizing upon Hon. John R. Buck as the best man to re- ceive the republican nominotion. The district never was more faithfully served than duriug the two years when MT. Buck occupied a seat in the 47th congressI TH is very seldom that member is able to make himself felt during his first term of service. MT. Buck madr nos9fbrt to push himself forward in dehf6 although on the occasions when the iiltefest of his con- stituents required him tt take part in dis cussion. he showed himseH we'll equipped with facts which he presented in a. forcible manner, as witness his sEfseEh against the inequalities of the revi4ed tariff in, regard to hosiery and knit goQas
 But the making of sTHeches is only a small part of conglessman's duties. More important though less 0onsaieuous is the work of the commit tee tbbm, where eternal vigilance is requf1 I'd to prevent the success of improper billshnd to protect To- cal industries from hostile Legislation This and thegwork of caring for the inter- est of constituents before the. various de partments test the capabilities of con gressman more than mera speech making. Few men are so well equipped for such work as is MT. Buck. lit is faithful, per- severing, diligent, and persuasive. At the close of his term he was sSne of the best known of the new members of the house and was universally liked and respected. This was the testimony M his associates and of all who had occasiop to request his services. He is very familiarF witlly the business interests of the district, and a firm friend and advocate of a protective tariff.
 MT. Buck was complinehted with re- nomination at the close df his term but was defeated by the .demosIrafdc1 tidal wave of two years ago. His friends feel that the faithful service rendered by him to the district entities him to fhe Anemination again when the prospecl3 foa success is more favorable. This, is.kNe believe, the prevailing feeling through9ut the district and it will probably find e3pressipp in the convention, which will be held ih fliis dty on the 10th of SeptemheEF U l II
 The names of Hon. Joh6 L. Houston of Enfield and Albert H. Walker of this city have been suggested in Connection with the nomination, but we hope that the friends of both these gentlemen, and the gentlemen themselves, wilI before theiconL vention meets, concede that the wisest course this year will be to rlace MT. Buck in nomination. .-Hartfo ford CoasgGaat. \,

T had no idea black bass ever grew so large," said HI. W. Ross of Jacksonville,
 Florida, a few days ago, "until I succeed ed in landing one that cost me forty min. .utes of hard work It measured B7A inch- .es from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, was 293 inches in girth, and weighed 23 pounds and 8 ounces. II had gone with two friends to Niggertown creek, near Altoona; to fish. a> After filling our Iminnow bucket we fshed 8 in 8 lake
 formed by the creek, which contained some four acres, with water thirty feet deep. I was lazily holding an eight ounce pole when suddenly my float sank, and away went my line at lightning speed. The fish
 made straight for the center of the lake,
 and it was only with the greatest circuln- spection that succeeded in heading him
 toward shore. The bass was hooked about twelve feet from the surface of the water, and he did not show himself above the surface at any time. When he was finally pulled into the boat he came with his mouth wide open, and to all appearance
 was dead. He never fopped once after he
 was landed. I never heard of so large a black bass being taken before" "z7j..H ..9h

e5' A BASIN SToRY.-Here is a story they
 are just telling now in London of a troop shipg In the ladies' cabin there were four
 wash-basins, one of which was much larger than the others. There were three ladies
 in the cabin whose husbands were about equal in rank: The women always think they have right to presnme on the rank of their husbands when taking choice of 'berths, etc, and there was great discus sion as to who was entitled to the big ba- sin. It was referred to the, paymaster of
 the ship who could settle nothing, and eventually to, the captain, He gave a de cision worthy of Solomon. After first ask ing them if they would abide by, his, yer dict, and not give any! more trouble Tn the matter. which they readily agreed to dc, he said he thought It was only fair thatthe oldest lady should get the biggest basin.
 That basin was never, used during the
 whole voyage out. ,aa4.r .l.,j.ig s..,ff9.s X.
