Suicide of a Young Man.

About June I young man came to Dover
stopping at Captain Norris boarding house
on New Street He was agent for the PEG
pies Exchange of Reading, Pa, and inserted
the following advertisement in Wilmington
and Dover paper:
Wanted--Fiye Yogug men for responsible
positions Of trust; SO to $50 per month salary
to start $500 cash as security required.
Address Lock Box 40, Dover, Del.
He received several answers, but that he
received any money deposit is not known.
The matter was unnoticed until a correspond
ent of the Evening Journal took the
matter up and began to investigate it. The
exposure in that paper followed, and on
Thursday night Of last week the young man
took his own life by shooting himself in the
head, after wading into the mill pond at the
north side of Dover. The coroner's Jury
found q verdict in accordance with The facts.

Observation-Disclosures Discouraged.
baltimore SuNl


Farmers in Dorchester county are greatly
discouraged over the injury to and, in many
cases total loss, Of their crops by the long and
unprecedented wet season. The present
summer will be a memorable one in this
county, on account Of the heavy rainfall.
Wheat crops, which matured finely and
yielded abundautly were cut several weeks
or more ago and have since stood in the
fields subjected to a continuous soaking.
In consequence the grain has either sprouted
or turned black and rotted. County Com.
missioners James N. Sherman of Bucktown
district states that his whole crop, about z, 900
bushels will be a total loss. The condi-
ton of the corn crop in low lands is also be-
coming serious and it is estimated that
not more than half crop will be raised. or
only sufficient quantity to supply the local
demand. In the lower districts the usual
acreage could not be planted, owing to the
wet condition of the soil, and in most cases
where crop was seeded farmers have been
unable for the same reason to work their
crops. The corn is being soalded aud choked
out by the rank growth of grass and weeds.
The bitches are filed and the county roads
covered with water. ALI fresh water streams
are swollen to an unsual degree. Along the
Blackwater river, a naturally sluggish stream
the water Tushes like a mill-race, and its
banks are overlooked, the water extending
on either side distance of several hundred
yards into the corn fields.

IN another column may be found 1
report of the work about to be com
menced for the improvement of st
Jones' river, by the United States gov
eminent. The money to do this wOrl
was appropriated as the result of en-
ergetic work for this end by Hon. Ell
Salisbury during his term as United
States Senator for Delaware and is thu
first attempt to make permanent
benefit to the waterways of Kent oil
Sussex counties in this generation. on
a scale calculated to have peTceptiblt
results to farmers and freighters gen.
orally. The policy pursued in the
past has been one of maintenance OF
existing conditions, without any
attempt to open up navigation under
the advancing method of Transports
tiOn, even in traffic by water-carrying
routes and this first attempt to give to
middle Delaware a waterway on
which rapid transportation can be
maintained Is particularly noticeable.
With waterways on which steamers
can come and go regardless of tide de-
tentiOn, farming and fruit growing
will have a new era opened. Fruit
shipped by rail, which is now sold for
prices that barely pay charges of
freight, carriage and commission, could
be laid down in Philadelphia and sold
at the same price at profit to the
grower. The same condition of affairs
would exist for the truck farmer, and
under this stimulus new crops would be
planted; which in turn will benefit
labor by making it in increased de-
mand. Capital would then find profit
able employ in running steamers from
towns like Dover, Fredelica, Milford
and Milton instead Of the experience
that has fallen to efforts in this direc-
ton. The work on st. Jones' River
is a good start in the right direction,
and we expect to see the live men of
Milford aud Cedar Greek hundreds
awake to the work before them. SIM
ply asking Congress to appropriate
one hundred thousand dollars, or
more, to give to Milford her old-time
importance in ship building, thereby
making II market for timber, and la

and others; is not all that is necessary
to be done. Talking won't do it either
although it is useful as n means of
keeping the subject live issue before
the people. The man who is in earn

charge of this district visits the Mis-
pilliOn river this fall, and then make
a supplementary report recommend

above the sand point, where bold water

yards of the shore. It isa pretty well
established fact, that "God helps those
who help themselves" and in this
matter unless we act, the improvement
will not come in our day. 1t is easier
TO get one hundred thousand dollars
appointed to make a permanent inn
prOvement that will be of great bene-

and dollars to clean out shoal. The

WHAT KINDS SHALL WE PLANT?


WHAT KINDS SHALL WE PLANT?
The requisites of good market berry
are First, a strong, vigorous growing
vine free from rust, and making an abun-
dance of young plants. The berry must
be at least of good average size, bright, OF
deep red in color, with considerable acid
in its composition-for frmness seems to
depend to a great extent on sourness,
and the berry with the most acid is apt
to reach the distant market in the best
condition-havor and quality while de-
sirable, are not to be expected in berry
Of this character. The shape of the berry
should be round or conical, for it is only
berries of this shape that reach market in
good condition after long jolting jour
ney. This, of course, excludes all berries
in the shape of Sharpless, Jessie, Bel
mont, Bubach and all others that are
irregular in shape, or fiattened or wedge
shaped; all of these will be found, on cut
ting through with knife, to have hol-
low place or cavity in the center, and to
be either white or pale in appearance; to
lack the sprghtly acid taste that is nee
essary for a preservation in hot, damp
weather. Many growers will no doubt
take exception to the exclusion of such
varieties as Sharpless and Bubach No. S.

There are about goo men now 1T

Companys new ditch. which, whea
completed, will be IL miles long.
J. cowan ("Chips'), VIM. Aiken.
A. Hudson and Frank Kell--all old

work can go on the ditch. The wages
paid are e so for shovelers and So
for men who handle powder.
A few good miners are also wanted
and can find steady employment.
The prospects for that section of
the country are assuming decided

completed, and the two 6-inch Moni-
tor are put steadily TO work, Osceols
will continue to pour out . steady
