Presiding Elder RGilby's suooes-

SOr.
The selection of Rev. Thos. O. Avres
by the preachers of Dover district as
their choice among the preachers OF
the District to succeed Presiding Elder
Mildly was, while q surprise a gratifica-
tion to his many friends to see
him at his age in the ministry step up
at the call of his brethren to take this
place of responsible authority. l. is a
mark of the highest appreciation of
those in the ranks, and none ought to
be better judges of. the qualifications
for the Office than they.
Mr.. Ayres went out from this town.
having been a resident of it for sixteen
years, coming here from Queen Anne's
county to engage in business when a
half grown boy and remaining until he
entered the itineracy in 1870. Without
early advantages and in the face of manv
dlscouragements, with a mind ready to
seize every advantage that presented
itself and with that determined pur-
pose to rise superior to all dificul-
ties, Mr.. Ayres has steadily grown
to his present place in the Peninsular
ministry. He has an original mind
with perceptions looking to the ac-
complishments of the future rather
than the achievements of the past. and
thus with both mental and constitution
al vigOr, Mr.. Ayres will no doubt devote
hls.whOle energies to the Advancement
OF his District, should the Bishop con-
firm the action Of the preachers meet
ing by appointing him to the Elder
ship.

Serions Accidents.

C. o. Casey, of Millington, Md, met
with very serious accident on Monday
while cutting wheat with a self-binder.
He was removing some grass that had
caught in the needle, when the horses
started up driving the needle through
his hand in two or three places at the
same time drawing his arm in, break
ing it in two places. That part of the
machine had to be taken apart before
his arm could be got out.
William Leager, a farmer who lives
on one of Major Biggs' farms, near
MillingtOn, Md, had his left hand
caught in the cogs of binder and
three fingers were terribly lacerated,
two of which will likely be lost.

MIR. EnIT0H-- Dear Sjr:-As there !.
considerable talk at present about middle.
men and shippers of fruit, I think it proper
10 make some statements that the majority
OF growers of fruit are not aware of In thf
first place, the railroad company doe. moi
load the fruit when sent in full car londs
they VIII receive small lots and load from
The platform, but that costs from three tc
four cents more. Besides, if they had much
ct that to do they could not make time.
ihen the shipper or middleman has tbo
work to do. In the next place. there NAV
be sometimes twenty different growers
fruit in the car to be sent to half ms MANY
different commission houses. How arc
th6y tn know how. much fruit they each
have in the car unless separate manifests
and invoices are made out for their beneft9
The railroad company does not do that
The company only gives the whole number
OF baskets the car contains and the number
OF car, so you see the necessity of there be-
ing mlddleman or shipper, Another i'm
portant matter is that the cars be nailed nm
properly to prevent the baskets from up-
setting. lfyOu will notice the cars rs they
pass the different stations you will see some
OF them knee-deep with peaches, which is
a great loss to the grower and need not be
the case II the shipper. or middleman. un-
derstands his business. Another matter I
wish to speak of, the charge that the middle.
mans pay comes out of the growers fruit
ou may as well accuse them of being dis
honest ,otLor ways as to accuse them of
doing that. The middleman or shipper is
not paid tor his labor until the growers
have their money in their pockets, and the
commission men know very well they must
make as good returns TO the grower as
other houses or lose their customers whether
they employ middleman or not.

THE CANDIDATES.
The new reform movement starts ont
with entirely new men, as known to
politicians, to head their ticket.
James r. HOfecker, the candidate
for governor, is resident of Middle
town, retired farmer between the
ages of 48 and 40 years, who has been
a farmer all his life and still gives his
time to seeing after his several farms.
He has never been a seeker after office
or official Establishments and hence has
not figured largely in political circles
In politics, however, he has been
strongly identified with the Demo-
cratic party all his life until the past
several years, when his interest in
temperance became paramount to that
of party. His father, Henry d. Hof-
fecker, dying when he was boy his
mother sent him to a school for sew
eral years in Chester county. Pa
where he became amply qualified for
the business pursuits of life. He is re-
garded in the circles where he is best
known as a man of strong character
who keeps fully abreast of the af-
fairs OF the day, sound judgement, de-
clded and OutspOken in his sentiments
and follows his convictions in what
ever path they most strongly lead him.
Richard M. Cooper, the candidate
for Congress, has been Il resident ofthis
section since his early manhood and is
we'll known to our entire cOmmunitv
Mr.. Cooper Is a gentleman of more than
average ability and intelligance-what
IS termed q selfmade man-a mind
well stored with book and periodical
literature in connection with the prac-
tlcal pursuits of life, and possessing a
persona! integrity that has ever gone
unchallenged. Mr.. Cooper has given a
great deal of attention to education.
religious and all moral reform issues
and as the President of the State Tenn
perance Alliance, has shown himself
not only an officer of unusual energy
and efficiency but also one who has
ideas and the language to convey them
to public audiences.
The ticket was received with every
expression of satisfaction by the en-
tire delegation.

It is interesting to watch the people
about these springs. The newcomer
sips and grimaces. and looks about
shamefacedly; others march up to the
spring, gulp down the desired quantity,
and glad that it is over, look around
happily on the fellows who have not
drank. The lady of fashion settles with
her poodle, or husband, or maid, and
languidly sips, and is benefited, be-
cause her dress is admired and shows
OF well. In comes pretty young
southern girl, with her old black nanny
in tow. The rosy lips touch the spark
ling glass; her bright eyes and firm,
fresh cheeks, sparkle even more prettIy.
She drains the glass, and turns with a
Iaueh to the old nurse, who has a glass
Of water, and is trying, with many
shiVerings and shakes of the head, and
rolling Of the eyes, to please de dear
child"
Cripples come here, and men whose
fast life is marked in their faces as
plainly as are chalk sums on the black
board; women come, fashion dissipated,
haggard, ugly and fine. There is
shoddy, and arrogance, and ignorance;
but there is also modesty, intelligence
and beauty, to be found every day, any
day, by the waters of Sara toga.

ICor. Memphil AvaIan h


It was the first evening | was in q
gondola, and, after admiring the skill
and ease with which the gondolier ma
nipulated his oar, l was struck with the
idea of attempting the feat myself
Nothing looked easier than to initiate
that swarthy Italian, to stand up on the
rear end of the gondold, and dip the
oar in and out of the water.
''You look tired" | said to the gon-
dolier; If you like you may rest awhile
and will row for you"
Had l offered to stand on my head
and walk to Milan the man could not
have looked more astonished.
"You, signore?" he exclaimed; "why,
you couldn even learn to stand up here
under two months.
''Pooh,'' said l, 81 have rowed boats
IN the Mississippi-from Memphis as
Tar as Hopefeld. Do you think don't
know how to work this numbering thing
n the smoother waters of VenlceF
The gondolier smiled very unsatis-
factory smile.
'Ah, buono-good, signore. l take
you where you have nice swim. Signore,
you take clothes off"
This was consOling advice to conf
dent oarsman, not very fattering to my
pride, still l thought l might as well
follow his alvice; so he slowly padded
me over to the lagoons between the
cemetery and Murans. / Invested my
self OF all clothing and prepared for a
first lesson in the Venetian art of gon-
doliering. AS l have said, it looks to
be the easiest thing in the world. The
Rondolier stands in the extreme end of
the long, slim boat, and the oar rests in
an oar-look that stands up from the
deck foot or eighteen inches. There
is nothing to hold the oar in the lock,
but this did not notice until tried it
myself. 1t stayed there so quietly and
pleasantly as long as the Italian was at
the stern that the idea never entered
my head but that it belonged there and
stayed of its own accord. Woful mis-
take!
had scarcely taken position on the
the stern of the boat and made my first
stroke when the oar flew out of that
lock in a miraculous manner, that / am
to this minute unable to understand,
and I flew out of the boat into the
water. Then it was that thanked that
gondolier for his timely warning and
advice. The knapsaek traveller does not
carry with him very extensive ward
robe, and had / fallen into the water
with my clothing on l would have been
in a very bad plight indeed. AS it was
/ swan around awhile, had good bath,
then climbed into the godola and tried
it over again, and with the same result.
A third and fourth attempt proved no
more successful, and finally | came to
the conclusion that gondoliering was
not as easy as it looked, and so dressed
myself and turned the oar over tO5the
proper hands.

1seAutses Of the Rockies. -
lManitod (Colo) Letter

The Rockies are piled up like purple
clouds against the brittle, sparkling sap
phire skies. They trail off in a royal
glory of color to the far south, their
pink and purple peaks picked out with
piles of everlasting snow. They are the
''Rocky" mountains in all truth. Not a
tree blooms upon their bald sterility of
rock, and yet in the amber atmosphere,
under the sweet, clean sunshine, they
look as if the next puff Of wind might
hoat them away.

The hen is prominent at the State
