II is denied by soms OF Tho friends Of the

city that Daniel Mulhn hes en-
nounced any preference for anyone
for United States Senator. But the state
nnent OF Yesterdays was made upon good
authority. MIR. Q1ipn's candidacy is boom
ing and il is asserted that he will have the
support OF most or his Democratic collea-
CUES in City Council. AS to John P. Dona-
hoe it is said that some OF the other promi-
nent liquer men are opposed to him,
claiming that it would not
be good policy and would be opposed to
their best interests to have on the ticket
one engaged In the business at a time when
so much interest is taken Ia the temperance
question. The lower part of the state mas
always sent majority Of temperance men
TO the Legislature, and it hos only been by
the, greatest efforts of the party leaders
that temperance legislation has been kept
down.
This was the case on the well-known oc-
casiou when Mr.. Bayard had TO interrere
At the last session parliamentary tactics and
a botched up bill kept the state out OF nign
license. These liquor men claim that the
nomination of Mr. Donahoe would.be a
direct invitation to the temperance people
to do something.
A Democratic politician declared the

a solid temperance delegation would come
up from Sussex County, and Kent would

THE rouATo,s DEvELOPATENr-
A BRIEF History OF This LusciOnsN
Vegetable.

The use Of the tomato as an article
OF food is comparatively modern.
About So years ago John Palmer, at
present residing in the Ninth ward,
was the pioneer tomato eater of this
vicinity. At that time the vegetable
grew wild, generally in the corn field,
and was considered a nuisance and
classed with weeds. The vines grew
very thickly and many farmer boy
probably insisted again and again in
strong terms upon the utter uselessness
of the same. They were pulled up
by the roots and instead of being
thrown to the pigs as most garbage is,
were thrown into the rubbish heap or
into the street. The natives said
"Those red things are poisonous, they
are not fit for pigs to eat, much less
for u.s." The tomatoes themselves
were regarded as a rank poison, and
when John Palmer started to eat them
he was set dowl as crazy, and the
neighbors, doubtless watched him to
see what effect the poison would have.
He was alone in the work of introduce
log the juicy tomato to the eating pub
lie, for some time, but slowly his
neighbors came to try them, and then
to use them as staple article of food.
The tomato at this time was very
crude. AS they were growing wild
aud had no attention, the vines would
become full OF small tomatoes, slightly
larger than walnuts. With their in
PRODUCTION came their cultivation, and
now Brandywine hundred can give
pointers to any locality on tomato
producing. Mr.. Palmer is still
hale and hearty and a good
Judge of tomatoes. The kind that
come from Florida late IN june
are not to his relish, but the Brandy
vine hundred tomato comes up to al
the requirements and is good food fol
all. The tomato crop this year is some
what backward, but the Jersey toma-
toes are OF good size and quality. Tit
srandywine hundred crop will b.
heard from about next week. and thsI
the heart of the tomato eater will lesl
fer joy.

H. n. Brown has bought a few
peaches this week at the Chestsrtown
station for Messrs. Robert and Will
liams, Of Philadelphia. He has paid
40 cents per basket for Rivers, and
from 90 to 80 cents per basket for
other early varieties.
A number Of growers have made
shipment Of early varieties of peaches
to Baltimore and other markets dur
ing the past week. DR.. S. Beck rscei-
we'd returns for some shipped in half
bushel baskets, at SO cents per basket,
which is about the best fprice re have
heard Of any Kent grower obtaining in
Baltimore market this season. His
peaches were well ripened and highly
colored.
There is some uneasiness among
growers about baskets and boxes for
shipping peaches. Just now there is
undoubtedly some pressure, but every
basket factory in the country is now
working at its full capacity, aud there
is little doubt that from $4,000 TO 100
900 baskets are being turned out daily.
Boxes are also being rapidly manufac-
tured to meet the demand. Itlslikely
that the supply will keep up with the
! demand.
The first really fine peach will be the
Troth's, which ripens early in August
1t is small, but ripens nicely, and has 8
delicious flavor.
The canneries and evaporatine
houses, it is feared. will make corner
