A Had Report About the Peach Crop.
Wilmington. Del. Special to the Phila Press, Aug q
The peach growers or the peninsula are greatly
alarmed at the sudden appearance OF the'yerows,
among the orchards OF this state. The disease Is
wide spread, extending through the entire peach
district, and scarcely orchard has escaped this
serious blight. The crop Just on the verge of
npening is very seriously damaged, inasmuch as
the yeIlows' very seriously affects the quality Of
the fruit and win materially reduce the quantity
or peaches TO reach q marketable maturity Some
Of the large orchards most severely affected have
the appearance OF having been swept by IRE and
the trees, vigorous and healthy q week ago are
scared and yellow, while the fruit is blighIed and
wtthered and falling before reaching q mature
state. The Government has had man connected
with the Agricultural Department INVESTIGATING
the "yellows' Tor rev months but he has dis
covered neither the cause nor 4 remedy and the
growers are at o loss TO check the disease Some
OF the leading growers are OF the opinion that the
yeilows VIII decrease the yield OF marketable fruit
predicted for this year. and believe thai instead OF

feet OF this visitation by the yeilows VIII be to

wood as he could and then few away. Mrs. spar

A Fern Breakfast.

From the Philsdelphia Press
A fern breakfast Is the very latest, To-day
that Is; something as yet undresmed OF may be
the novelty Tomorrow. A girl hostess utilized q
Wide veranda for q fern morning some days
ago. Climbing ferns were trained about the
sides to form cool green walls Masses of lush,
rank-growing fern were planted In each corner.
The table appeared to be spread on q mound
overgrown with ferns. The smallest ferns OF
tne brooks and the woods, mingled with DEL
lcate orchid or two and green moses, were
ranged about miniature pool Of water which
formed the central decoration. A delicate maiden
hair fern planted In q tiny vase OF china stood by
each plate as the breakfast favor. Throughout
the meal the color green was preserved as Tar as
possible, all the fruit being served surrounded by
fern fronds The pretty girl who gave the break
fast wore gown OF fern green China silk, which
made her look like wood goddess whose skin the
sun had graciously forborne to tan. Fern seed,
Which Is tabled TO make one invisible, was flung In
laughing ceremony over the group to make its
session the more confidential the ban being re-
moved later when some tennis players began TO
show on the lawn ready for a game. Breakfasts
where all the decorations were OF striped grass
have been given, and a variation, still following
the fancy for green things, is an oak lunch, oak

u. -. gour.s An Nebraska.

Washington special: The ,enate has
passed the house bill establishing terms
OF the United States court to be held at
various points IN Nebraska. The bill
was amended by the senate committee
SO as TO strike out all that portion divid-
ing the state into divisions, also by
dropping Kearney as one OF the places
named IN the bill as 1t passsd the house.
The bill, as It was finally passed by the
senate is similar to the one which was
introduced by Mr.. Dorsey and passed
in the forty-ninth congress naming
Omaha, Lneolb, Hastings and Norfolk
as points at which terms of the court
shall be held. Judge Dundy made
serious opposition to the adoption of the
bill which WAS passed to day He claim
ed that there was not sufficient business
TO Justify the changes. The committee,
terms held at Cmahs, Lincoln and Hast
iinRs, and then Senator Msnderson and
Mr.. Dorsey appeared before
the committee and argued that tie
points in the third district shonld not
be dropped from the bill and that they
should have consideration: They were

district where they wished terms of the
court held, the committee stating that
ii would retain one OF the points men
toned. They declined to do this. and
said that they would insist that the re-
sponsibility should rest with the COM
mittee. They added that they you'd
show why both points should be retained
in the bill. The committee by bare
majority agreed to name Norfolk as the
additional point for terms OF court.
The bill will now 60 to the conference
committee, and Mr.. Dorsey promises to
the house committee on judiciary that
it will demand the FIVE places named in
the bill as it originally passed the house.
The house committee on judiciary feels
that Che senate committee on judiciary
has treated its recommendations in this
and number OF other court bills with
out any consideration whatever, and it
intends to make fight.

pQBIEI YOUR BLOOD.

Impurities in the blood produce diseases.
Bodily and mental health depend upon
healthy condition Of the blood. The blood,
particularly In the spring and during The hot
summer months, becomes clogged with im-
purttes, which poison 1t and generate dis
ease. A harmless blood purifier, without
particle OF mineral poison in It, such as mer-
curry or potash, is necessary to remove these
Impurities aud to restore the healthy tone of
mind and body. The best purifier and mic
known to the world is Swlft's Specific (S.S.S.l
In regard to its wonderful purifying and
tonic powers we give few testimonials as
