THE President has ordered that Sun
day duty in the army, other than in
spection parade without firearms, be
abolished. The barraok inspection
which formerly occurred Sunday will
hereafter be made Saturday. In his
order the President refers to the fact
that Washington and Lincoln ordered
week day duties omitted on Sunday in
times of war, and concludes that if the
plan was successful then it cannot be a
bad practice in time of peace.

The Cranes Destroved

The grape industry, one of our new
and rapidly developing fruit crops that
was to take in part the place Of the de-
Ginning peach, has met with serious
collapse. The rosebug is the cause.
The black rot Of the past two seasons
was sufficiently discouraging but it was
thought could be met By proper rem
edies. But the rosebu0s have como
TINS, the second or third season, ia
mIyrlads, against which there seems to
be no remedy. They come while the
blossom IS out and eat II up before
the young grape is formed. The grow
ers are utterly discouraged at fighting
against such odds, and are likelv 40
give up the business. From what we
can learn, nearly all the vineyards in
TINS vicinity are ruined for this year.

Reduction of Rates on Delaware
Division.

The reduction of passenger rates.
which went into effect on the Della
ware Division Of the Philadelphia Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad June
lSt, Is a conspicuous example of the
liberal policy Of that corporation, and
has met with hearty appreciation at
the hands of our people. All first class
rates on the Queen Anne and Kent.
Delaware and Chesapeake, Delaware.
Maryland and Virginia, and Cam
bridge and Scatord Railroads have
been reduced to three cents per mile.
Excursion rates have also been re-
tuced to two cents per mile in each
direction. At the same time the sale
Of thousand-mile, ffy-trip firm, aud
titty-trip family tickets was resumed
on all the branches of the Delaware
Division.
This reduction will undoubtedly
tend to increase the travel on these
roads.

HARMONY is the watchword Mr..
WOlcOtt lays down the law in last
weeks Iader to those who want har-
mOny in the party, by telling them
that it can only be brought about by
Submitting to the will of the major
ity." He does not point to the mourn
er's bench, but he evidently means
that.
Mr.. Salisbury, following in the
DeImUarean, lays down the following
recipe for bringing it about: "In the
struggle for harmony in the party of
the State, our watchword and motto
will be pure primaries and also that
Democratic rules must and shall be
obeyed."

From the UOruiRg NIqcs.

SIR:-In your issue of the 9Th instant
you state that John J. Kennedy. of
Wilmington, after being refused a
liquor license by the court, afterwards
went down the State, saw Judges
Paynter and Houston and the license
was granted It seems almost incredi
bic, but the statement, although so
derogatory to these Judges, has not
been cOntradicted, and must. therefore
be accepted as true.
We greatly regret it, for it undoubt-
edly tends directly to degrade the
Judges, and bring contempt upon the
administration of justice. Ii is plainly
ana lneXcusably Illegal, for licenses
can only be granted according to law
by court. The court at Wilmington
had adjourned. The May term was
over. The judges had gone home.
Besides, the court is held in the Court
House, in Wilmington, for New Castle
county-not down the State.n More.
over, the court is unit, and acts to-
gether and at once, not i'm parcels. or
halves, one at Dover and another at
Georgetown.
If the fact is as stated, Mr.. Kennedy
has no lawful license to sell liquor; and
If he attempts to sell under this bogus
one he is liable to be indicted, tried
convicted and punished, and it is the
duty of the Attorney General to sec
that he is, and of the Law and Order
Society to bring the case to his notice,
and to furnish him with the evidence
to sustain an indictment. JUSTICE.

Wheat Injured.

DEAR SIR:-The mild winter and
seasonable spring pushed wheat for

straw ana gave promise of an extraor-
dinary crop; but in this we are doomed
to disappointment, at least in this sec.
ton. The wind and rain storms beat
OFF their blossoms before they had
performed their functions of fertilizino
the germs, and as a consequence the
heads are not filled. There are as a
rule but two grains abreast when there
should be three. This failure. if uni
versal, would shorten the crop one.

many entirely without grain and MANY

Bethel looked very pretty on Sun
Gay, the occasion being Children's
Day. Beautiful flowers were artisti-
cally grouped about the room from
which tropical OdOrs were constantly
given off. Not only were the decora-
tions lovely, but the scores of bright.
interesting faces gave a finish to the
picture that nothing else could do.
AS is usual on these particular days.
the people turn out en- masse filling
the house to completion. The exer-
clses were carried out in a very cred.
liable manner, thanks to Superintend-
ent Cooper and his valuable assistants.
The program was practically as
follows:
Musical Selections. Choir.
Recitation. Fanny Short
song and Recitation ........ Four Little girls
Calvin BOggs
SOLO: PamatOry
Recltaton. Carrow
Select Reading. g.................B Bertha Emerson
hecitauon Ethel BOggs
Auuress. Pastor
Reception of class offerings.
Interspersed with above were music
and responsive readings.
The pastor, Rev. r. X. Stephenson.
made very interesting address, among
other things referring to the horrors of
the JohnstOwn calamity, and closed bv
invoking an earnest prayer in their
behalf, the congregation rising and
silently joining him.
All in all, it was but one of those
pleasant and successful times for which
this church and her people are Justly
proud. G..

AT OTHER PLACES.
At SeversOn's church in the after
noon there was large turn out and
interesting exercises. The floral dec
oratlons were tastefully arranged and
ample in their numbers. Jos. Windle.
the superintendent, had the children
well disciplined.
At Clayton, where the Rev. Mr.
Stephenson had charge as at the two
places above named, the largest con-
gregatiOn assembled that ever met at
the church. In fact, a hundred or
more could not gain admittance. and
had to resort to the windows and see
and hear as best they could. The dec
CADeAOhS WSAO uuuuSOul6, ana JQo chill
dren under the lead ofthe superintend-
ent, Aubrey Vandever, did their part
well. The attractive feature, as at
Severson's, was one entitled "The
star, cross and Crown"
At Friendship church, Thorough
fare Neck, they had an attractive
arrangement of flowers; and a general
turning out of the people to eniov the
novelty of the service. The exercises
included an address from the pastor
Rev. W. NJ. Warner.
At Salem NJ. P. Church west of
Green Spring under the decorative
skill of A. w. Webster, the church
beat its record in this direction. There
were two arches, with other attractive
designs. The people were there from
all the surrounding country, more than
could get inside the walls. James
Webster, the superintendent, carried
the children through an interesting
programme, followed by a sprightlY
address from the pastor, Rev. Mr..
Lloyd.

THE GEORGIA WILD MAN.
A Wild and Woolly Creature Who
Keeps PeOple Home o. Nights.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March o.
Walker county, Georgia, in the vicinity
of Chattanooga and as far south as
Ponds Springs. is much excited over
the temperance of the celebrated wild
man of Lookout. He was seen a few
days ago, ami if descriptions are correct
he is most remarkable being. His hair
and beard are described as flowing to
the waist. His finger and toe nails are
long, giving the hands and feet the re-
semblance of claws. He wears trunk
of bearskin, with bearskln robe
thrown over his shoulders. He carries
an ugly bludgeOn, and persistently
avoids coming in contact with anybody.
The timid people of the neighborhood
are greatly alarmed. and there is little
travelling about at night. although he is
generally believed to be harmless. This
strange creature has been haunting
caves and Businesses Of Lookout mount
aims and elevations in lower East Ten
nessee for years, and nothing is known
of his identity. He has never been
known to do anybody any harm. and
there has been no occasion for his ar
rest. so he has been allowed to pursue
his strange lunacy unarrested. He is
sad at present to occupy cave near
Pond Spring, Ga, but heretofore, when
his place of temporary abode has been
discovered, he has disappeared, to be
seen at other points considerable dis
tanceS away.

burned. The wife of the American
consul had to run for her life, accom-
panied by her children, being pursued
to the river by the rioters. The United
States steamer Omaha has been re-
called from Corea and gone to Chin
Kiang direct. The North China Daily
News says: 1.-THE chief lesson learned
from this outbreak is that it will not
do to believe that foreigners are
in absolute security at any of
the treaty ports. Such incidents as hap
pened at Chin Kiang may occur at any
moment at any of the ports. and every
port should be within easy reach of
man-Of-war. The Chinese government
will have topay full compensation for
the damage done. 1t is no kindness to
the Chinese to withdraw the gunboats
for fear of wounding their sensibility;
for, i'll any event like this, the loss falls
ultimately on the government. 1t is
feared that the accession of the young
emperor will be accompanied by re-
crudescence of anti-foreign feeling, as
he is under the influence of tutor who
is known to be violent reactionary.
FoRTY-TWO PEOPLE DROWNED.
A report has reached Hong Kong that
the steamer RemuS was sunk on reef
near Point Beliran. Jan. 80, while TAX
ing Jul SOlttlcTS DIS TclleI 10 various Sud
tions in the Philippines. Forty-two
persons were drowned. The following
details of the death of Admiral Chand-
Ter, United States navy, are learned:
He arrived at Hong Kong, Feb. 8, with
the Marion, accompanied by his wife
and daughter. On Feb. II he called on
the governor. and on the way was seized
with Il fit of apoplexy. His symptoms
at first did not seem to be serious and
he finished his call. On returning
to his hotel he gradually lost
consciousness during the after
noon, aud expired at 9:15 p. m.
There is no news from the fourteen
missing men belonging to the wrecked
ship Anglo India, and it is feared that
they were lost. The men who succeeded
in landing from the wreck were stripped
naked and stoned by the natives. The
governor beheaded three of the plum
derers and had their heads stuck on
poles as a warning to others. japan
has suffered severely from disastrous
fires. On Feb. fire broke out in Shid-
Suoka and destroyed 1000 buildings, in
Guiding schools, hospitals, shrines, tenn
pies and other public buildings. On
the same day fire at Yokcsuka Quilted
500 houses,
