y VI EMORIUM.

Mrs. Hannah Mount Kirk died at the
residence OF her husband, Jesse a. Kirk,
in Rising Sun, on the Goth ult, after a
lingering and painful illness. She was
born in Trenton, y. j., on the 23d of Febru-
airy, 1879, and came to this neighborhood
about thirty-tive years ago with her brother,
John w. Mount, who purchased and set
tied on the farm Of the late Allen Kirk,
near Rising sun. In the spring of 1856 she
was united in marriage with Jesse A. Kirk
and from that time until her death she re-
resided in Rising Sun. She lett but one
SOB, Mount L. Kirk, member of the firm
of Haines X Kirk. As true Christian,
Mrs. *. was an exceptional woman. She
was charitable in the broadcast and most
Christian sense of the term. In every good
work for the relief of suffering humanity,
she, III connection with her husband, al
Was took a leading part. Neither did she
coniine herself in this respect to her own
church, the Presbyterian, but she just as
freely and ungrudgingly extended helping
hand to others. She thus endeared herself
to all with whom she came in contact, and
her loss will be long felt, not only by her
own family but by the wide circle of her
friends and neighborS. She was followed

WHY HE COMES NOT.

From the Boston Courier.
She stands at the garden gate tonight;
No word does the maiden sp,.l-
But her eyes are full OF an anxious light.
And tcardrop CLEANS like a diamond bright
On the rose of her velvet check.
The sun in his glory has long since set.
The robin has ceased his song;
With the falling due the leaves are wet.
The hour is past and he comes not yet,
Oh, why does he stay so long?
In vain she seeks to restrain her tears
As the precious moments fleet;
And her heart is filled with doubts and fears.
As she listening stands and stains her ears
For the sound OF her lovers feet
Oh, beauteOns maid at the garden gate
pity thy wotul plight;
But get thee in, for the hour is late,
For thy lovers coming no longer wait
He will not appear to night.
Fain would the youth to thy side have flown
But he hadn't change of clothes,
For his waShcrwoman, her patience gone,
To his shirts and collars and cuffs holds on
Till he pays up the bill he owes.

HOME AGAIN.

From the Boston Courier.
The maiden walks the strand no more
Enjoying the ocean breeze.
Where the tiny wavclcts kiss the shore
And the sand is alive with fcas
No more IN a suit of blue or drab
She into the water goes:
She fears no more the vOraciOuS crab
That sought to dcvour her toes.
She is done for the while with seaside hops,
These innocent designations;
She has turned her back on dudes and iops,
And given up beach tiirtationS.
The maiden il back from her summering
10 home and its dear delights.
Back to the garden gate to swing
With her beau through the autumn nights

THE OYSTER SEASON,

Work Begun at IL O'clock Monday night
Objections to the State Law.
All the packers and shippers of raw
oysters were busy Monday making prep
arations for shocking oysters Tuesday
for shipment West. The restaurant men
were also having their raw boxes put in
order, and having their frying irons and
stew pans cleaned. Orders have been
coming in from the West more freely
than usual, and the shippers have gone
to considerable expense to have the BIZ
valves here at an early hour. Nearly all
of them will have oysters en- route for
the West Tuesday afternoon. One
packer in East Baltimore put a large
force of men at work longing oysters i'll
Herring Bay at II O'Clock Monday night,
and had a lot of oysters on his wharf
shortly after three o'clock Tuesday
morning. Another had two bargcs load
in the Chester river, which will arrive
about noon. A lot of barreled oysters
from New York arrived about midnight
for firm on Hollingsworth street. Those
who profess to be posted on the oyster
question claim that the supply this sea-
son will be far below the average. 1t is
predicted that the public dredging beds
will be nearly exhausted before the sea-
son is half over. The dredgcrs begin
work on the first of November. There
is also great dissatisfaction among Mary
land oystermen on account of the tonnage
tax imposed on Maryland vessels for car
rying oysters. Mr.. w. II. Thompson,
who has for years made the oyster qucs-
tion matter of careful study, said yes
terday to an american reporter: "The
various laws passed to meet the issues of
the question have resulted in an unjust
discrimination against the people of our
state. Our vessls are compelled to pay
tonnage tax to carry oysters i'll our
own waters, while Eastern vessels come
here and take our oysters, to be planted
and grown in Eastern waters, without
having to pay a tonnage tax, and after
the oysters are fit for market, bring them

1t will be seen by the above official analy-
sis of Sure Growth just made by the State
Chemist of Delaware that our Excellent
Wheat Fertilizer is fully up to the high
standard we have always maintained, all
of the fertilizer ingredients being somewhat
above the guaranteed standard. The sam
pie from which this analysis was made was
drawn by the chemist in person from goods
in the railroad company's warehouse at
Middlctown, Del. The new Fertilizer law
of Delaware, which was passed by the last
Legislature-composed largely of farmers
and landowners puts much lower val
uation on the Ingredients than the law in
operation last year, ard is believed to fairly
represent the commercial value of the
goods. d. SCOTT a. BRO.
