nirsrsiaed Farming

Those who planted tomatoes this
year for the canneries struck a good
thing. for they did well when the
other crops on the farm were in many
cases a failure. The farmers are learn
ing that there is something else to be
grown besides wheat and corn. The
creamery has served a good purpose in
helping with the running expenses of
the farm. There is a prospect that a
demand will be made on the farmers
near town next year for sugar
corn for canning.
This while bring ready money is
also claimed to pay better than matur.
ing corn for market. Then there is
sweet potatoes. At % cents per bas-
ket they will pay better than the rul-
ing price for tomatoes, nearly double,
it is claimed. They have an advan-
tage over the latter in that they can be
sold at the convenience of the grower
dug out of the ground and sold in Sep
temher or October, or kept for the bet
ter markets of winter aud spring. To
the careful farmer who both knows
how to grow and properly house sweet
potatoes, there is probably no product
OF market gardening that he can give
his attention to with greater assurance
of profit.

The Prashvteru.

The New Castle Presbytery, which
met in Wilmington last week, attended
to the usual routine work in dismissing
pastors, accepting calls, &c.
Rev. w. A. Logan, home missionary
for the Presbytery, made an interesting
verbal report Of his work. He said that
in the New Castle Presbytery there
were 30 churches, but 20 of them were
without pastors. The great demand
was for ministers. He could find places
for seven ministers right away if he
could get them.
Delaware City with membership of
l25 had been supplied. Middletown
with a strong membership was troubled
with too many applicants. Odessa had
a very pretty church, but no pastor.
smyrna was in the perdicament, and
the membership at Bridgeville had
been reduced to is members, IA of
whom were ladies. The latter had
lately purchased a bell, and the gentle.
men raised the tower and hung the
bell in it. He recommended making
fredericksburg and Bridgeyille one ap.
pointment. Going on he told the condi-
ton ofthe churches at Georgetown. Cool
Spring, Frankford, Blackwater. Ocean
View, Berlin, Whaleyville, Princess
Anne, RehObOth, White Clav Creek
Christiana and Church Hill, ali witkon2
pastors and his representations were
anything but hattering to the futnre
prospects Of the Presbytefy.

WHETHER with or without motive,
the managers of the State Fair prac-
ticed a censurable deception on the
press and the people in their announce
ment that gamblers would be excluded
from the fair grounds, whereas the fair
was otherwise what was claimed for it,
and a decided success. The papers
published the statement of the exclus-
sion of games of chance in full conf
dence as to its truthfulness and sim
cerity on the part of the officers, and
and the people who had faith in the
statement when they got there said
yes, the papers are lying as usual. !"
The newspapers thought they were
telling the truth, but instead were
made the vehicle of glaring falsehood.
The gamblers, presumably on a pur-
chased privilege from the managers,
were there in greater numbers and
more effrontery than ever before prac-
ticed. They occupied conspicuous
places, and were rarely without big
crowds around them. They feeced
the people right and left. A gentleman
who watched one of them for five min
utes saw one man lose ten and another
fifteen dollars during the time. 1t is
stated that one man who fixed on a
oartoip p1Do how v,oCgo1 ont tbo ,.,o,. -.
for it thinking luck would surely come
until he had lost SO. 1t will not
answer to claim that the victims were
a party to the deal; the people them
selves are in many cases weak, and the
chief object of law is to protect the
weak against the rapacity of the strong.
The managers threw temptation in
their way for a consideration, and as
sisted in sending many of them home
if not innocent, shorn lambs. Such was
the view expressed on the grounds to
the writer by several who pronounced
the whole thing gambling device to
get the money of the unwary at the
expense Of everything that was honor
able. This does not apply to the mer-
ry-gO-rounds, blowing and lifting ma
chimes and such Punch and Judy affairs
as 60 to amuse and entertain a promis-
cuOus crowd at a stipulated price,
paying for little and getting much or
little according to their appreciation.
The Wilmington and Dover fairs were
much alike in their general make up,
with this difference: they announced
they would keep the games of chance
away and did it; the Dover managers
made the same announcement but put
them in high places and in greater
numbers to fleece the people.

Death of Mrs. Abel ]. Porter

Mrs. Porter, wife of Abel J. Porter.
was severely paralyzed on Monday
night. Both have passed beyond the
active period of life, and thus several
years ago moved from near Green
Spring to town and were taking life in
a quiet, easy way. Mr.. Porter, who
was feeling the effects of age the more
of the two, retired to his bed early. as
was his custom, and was soon sound
asleep. Mrs. Porter, later in going to
bed or ascending the stairs for some
thing, was suddenly paralyzed and fell
helpless and unconscious. The other
members of the family were from home
and Mr.. Porter slept on until about
three o'clock, and on awaking found
his wife had not come to bed.
He descended the stairs, to find her
lying in the hall below where she had
fallen in the early part of the evening.
and laid all night. Friends and phV-
sician We're soon summoned, but the
stroke was heavy one, leaving little
to hope for her recovery. She remained
in this condition all day and breathed
her last about nine O'Clock last night.
Mrs. Porter was in her 9th year. and
gave promise of number of years vet
until overtaken with this sudden visit
alton. Their son.. John T. Porter, a
successful merchant in Scranton, Pa,
was summoned, who with the two
daughters In this town sOgtened as far
as was in their power the afiiiction of
their father in their united bereave.
ment. Mrs. Porter's maiden name was
Van Pelt. She was a woman of plain
sincere, earnest qualities whose life was
spent in blessing the home. She was
also faithful member of the church
and one Of the most regular in her
attendance on its services. The inter-
ment will be Friday afternoon.

The election in the four new States
last week resulted very much as anti
cipated-the two Dakotas and Wash
ingtOn decidedly Republican. and Mon
tana Democratic, that is, the governor
by about 500 and a majority of the
Legislature of seven on joint ballot,
though Carter, the Republican candi-
date for Congress, went through with a
majority of about 1900. By these cleo
tions the Republicans gain six senators
and five representatives, and the Demo-
Gratis two senators, securing the former
a working majority in both houses.
Prohibition by constitutional provis-
ion was carried in both the Dakotas,
while it was defeated in Montana and
Washington.
Female suffrage, which was accepted
in one or two of them when living as
territories, is strongly turned down
when they assume statehood.
One of the most exciting features in
South Dakota was the choice of a town
for the capital, Pierre carrying it over
the other places by a small majority.
Intelligence since the above was
written still leavs Montana in doubt

Death ofa Deaf Mute.

Joseph Colt who grew up in what is
known as Blackbird forest, but a fire..
quent visitor to this town, was found
dead in cave between Dexter's Cor.
ner and Vandyke's Station on FRIDAY
last. He was lying with his head in
the doorway and his arm resting out.
side. The stencil would indicate that
he had been dead probably a week.
Coroner Gamble held an inquest on
Saturday, the jury rendering a verdict
OF death from causes unknown. Colt
was about iifty-live years of age. He
was farm hand and lived with one
and another for a longer or shorter
time as suited him. He came To
smyrna more frequently some wears
ago than latterly, but was a visitor
more or less regular all his life. and
there were quite a number of persons
ne could converse with quite readily
by the use of the mute signs, He took
more delight In watches, at which he
could drive good bargain, and most
always had several on his person. He
had brother, who was also a mute
very closely resembling each other and
who were almost inseparable. Eight
or ten years ago the brother of the de-
ceased was accidentally drowned at
Taylor's Bridge, which was to him very
naturally a great bereavement. making
his life much more one of solitude and
isolation. The section where he chose
TO make his home as suited his moods
was was IN Blackbird and Appoquinimink
The cave in which Colt lived was
aug some years ago by man who was
employed to chop wood. A hole
ABOUT three feet deep was dug in The
ground and this was covered by a loo
roof which was plastered with mud
In the cave he had a heavy overcoat a
PAIR OF winter boots, and a store of pro.
visions. In his pocket was found sos
IN money. Two silver and one brass
watch OF practically no value were also
found; After the inquest, Coroner
Gamble; as there were no relatives m
take charge Of the body, took IL to the
morgue in Wilmington, and in obedi-
ence TO the wish of the people in the
vicinity where he lived, who wished
MIN buried as nicely as possible. tbe
coroner bought a lot in Riverview
Cemetery where the remains were in.

DR.. q. w. Chancellor, secretary of the
Maryland State Board of Health. has
written an entertaining and instructive
little book on the "Climate of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland" consid-
cred with reference to its sanative and
curative influence in pulmonary con-
sumption and other diseases. The sub
Ject is treated in mastery and COM
prehensive manner, and will do great
deal toward attracting the attention of
the people of the country to one Of the
most healthful and delightful parts of
the state. The notion that the Eastern
Shore was unhealthy, which was start
ed and spread in an unaccountabIe
way, has been shown often of late to be
without truth. If any person still be-
lieves the idle report DR.. Chancellor's
letter will soon convince him of the
contrary. In addition to this the Doc
tor proves that with capital judiciously
invested the Eastern Shore could be
made rival of Florida as place of res
idence for Northern persons in winter,
as well as popular place throughout
the year. The book is boom for the
Eastern Shore.
