ported fair clcarances of wheat and Hour,
and the Northwest wheat movement was

The demand for good milling wheat was
pretty good, and prices we're very well sup
with blackboard decline in futures. few
orders were filled TO go outside to other mill
els. and they included all grades from re-
jected TO No. l hard. but most Of the good
lots were taken for home use. Low grade
buyers, for shipment, still claimed holders
are still too high for them, but no great
amount of that kind of stock was offered,

Death of DR.. Adkins.

DR.. Isaac Leonard Adkins died at his resi-
deuce in Easton, Nd, on Friday morning
after a lingering illness. He was born at
Milford, Del, in 1898, and was educated at
the academy in that town. When 81 years
old he went to New York to establish the
grain commission business for the Philadel-
phia firm of Brown & Goodwin, and subse-
quently attended lectures at the Jefferson
Medical College, Philadelphia, graduating
in 1913, and beginning practice in that city.
He was at the head of the Cholera Hospital
at Moyamensing in IS4o, when the Asiatic
cholera raYaged Philadelphia, and his labors
then broke down his health. Soon after
wards he was appointed assistant surgeon
in the United States army, aud served at
Fort Columbus, New York harbor, in Flori-
da and in California. In 1852 DR.. Adkins
married Mary Hughlett the daughter Of
Colonel William Hughlett, of Talbot Co.,
and resigning his army commission settled
in Talbot county and engaged in agricultu-
raj pursuits on large scale, farming several
thousand acres of land. Mrs Adkins sur
wives him, aud he leaves two sons and two
daughters-the ReY. Franklin Bache Ad-

A creditabIe Appointment.
Morning Nel0s.)

kAhOFNfWS NctcS.J
We congratulate Governor Biggs on his
appointment of Mr.. John F. Salisbury, editor
Of the Dover Delavayfan, as secretary Of
state. Mr.. Salisbury is a man with whose
opinions we scarcely ever agree, but no one
can deny the ability, the directness aud the
courage with which he MAINTAINS his
opinions His Democratic environment does
not furnish conditions which call for broad
views, but his astuteness and skill as par
tisan advocate are clearly shown by his intel
lectual perception of this fact, aud by the
positive and peremptory power with which
he puts his strong shoulder to the party
wheel within the narrow lines between which
its own safety requires it to go. However
much one may dislike the general policy
which Mr.. Salisbury regards as desirable, it
is certainly pleasure to observe the intel
lectual strength and unbending frmness with
which he urges this policy upon the attention
Of his fellow citizens. Governor Biggs's ap-
pointment is a tardy but probably none the
less an agreeable recognition of power to
which the Democratic party of this state is
much indebted, namely, their party; press;
and among Delaware editors Mr.. Salisbury
unquestionably stands in the front rank.
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1889-05-17

IN appointing John F. Salisbury
Secretary of State to succeed the late
John P. Salisbury, Governor Biggs
has strengthened his administration,
and has given to Delaware an official
fully equipped mentally to discharge
the duties of the office. Mr. Sauls-
bury is at the head of the leading
Democratic organ of the State, and in
taking him for this position. the press
of Delaware may feel complimented.
John F., in politics, is a hustler, an
as Secretary of State, Governor Biggs
will find one of his strongest assls-
tAnts.

1t has been our aim for a
series of years to print store
news that would be universally
read. Ourmethods, being right,
have succeeded. Fresh items
and true statements have won
and held a reading constituency
the like of which has never be-
fore been known.
Under the leadership thus
created a larger truthfulness
has come about, but a mass of
inaccuracy in advertising still
remains, which discounts the
efforts Of all sincere advertis-
ers. Our interests demand un-
ceasing warfare upon every
thing of the sort.
But we cannot fight in de-
tail. Every instance in which
competing goods are offered
as bargains at higher prices
than we charge regular cannot
be challenged; when Sateens
are stated to be more popular
this season than ever, which
every dress goods man knows
to be untrue; when Mohair is
called Gloriosa, or Cashmere
Henrietta; when staple articles,
open to all the trade, are rep
as exclusive simply
because ofsa fictitious trade
mark arbitrarily attached; when
such things as these are printed
we cannot pause to contradict
each misstatement.
The fixed principles beneath
this business are our reliance.
We try to make them plain and
execute them.

AS TO HOW the coming fruit crop is
to be marketed, the people Of Della
ware have never been so much In want
of practical plans or ideas. OF course
if the crop is full one, buyers will
not be plenty enough to make a mar
ket. and if the old system of consign-
ment is followed, the great cities will
naturally be the distributing points,
which Is not the best plan for either
grower or buyer. By direct consign-
ments to interior cities, North, East
and West, twenty or more hours are
are saved between the time it is in
the consumers hands. THIS is an
item of vital importance, and some
concerted action Should be taken
which would enable shipments to lie
made to those interior pOints-even if
they have to go on consignment.
Unless something Of the kind is
done peach trees and peach land will
depreciate in value. Can we afford
that?

Thaddeus Stevens was one Of the most "
naarkable men Of his time, or Of any tina
During his long career in the house Of repre-
sentatives, he was the acknowledged leader
Of his party, and no one ever thought Of dis
putting his primacy. For quiclness Of wit
and sarcasm, he had no equal, and any one
who locked horns with him in debate was
quite certain to come of second best. 1t is
related OF Mr.. Stevens that, when a young
man practicing law ia Pennsylvania, he was
trying a cause before a judge who was dis
posed to rule on every question against him.
Mr.. Stevens bore this for some time, and
then, hastily gathering up bis books and
papers, started for the door. The judge,
somewhat surprised at this, hailed him and
asked If he meant, by leaving in that manner,
to show contempt of court. NO" replied
Mr.. Stevens, ~ am leaving in order that !
may not show my contempt. San Francisco
