THE number of cans of tomatoes pre-.
pared for market in Delaware will ex-
ceed 100000. These are three pound
cans, which would mean $4,000, 900
pounds of tomatoes. A ton of tOma.
toes as they come from the field, will
Gil from 400 to 425 cans. On this basis
product of 12,500 tons of tomatoes
were purchased by the Gamers in this
State this year. Taking $3.50 as a safe
average price per ton, it will be seen
that, with 12,500 tons as basis, $685.
$50 were paid to the farmers of this
State by the tomato canneries. The
other sales will undoubtedly bring the
total amount received for tomatoes
close up to 100000.

address to the pupils of the Wilmington
Commercial College this morning on the
subject Of ''The Paris Exposition. Mr..
jackson was introduced TO the scholars
by Professor w. H. Goldey.
Mr.. jackson said: "It is with greet
/ pleasure that / speak to you on this
subject. Though | do not understand a
word of French, | yet acquired a great
deal Of knowledge and obtained some
accurate measurements of the buildings
there, while was in Paris attending the
exposition.
he related an amusing ancedote Of Bill
| NYe In regard to the pronunciation of
Fsench names "The buildings of the
exposition covered an area of 800 acres "
He gave vivid and interesting de-
seription of several of the buildings
lie spoke of the immense size, assort-
ment and value of the precious stones
which had been loaned to the exposition.
One pearl alone was valued at $65, 000
and one diamond at over 81, 000, ,000
he gave full and accurate desorip-
tion Of the building in which the ma
chinery was exhibited with all the meas
uremens of the immense portions of the
hhhuAuks no hdW SOme machinery mkde
there and gave the measurements of
several laths, which were made while he
was standing there. He said that it was
sufficient to cross the ocean to have
view Of this hall.
The art hall was lined pictures, illus
trating all Il g various moods and phases
Of human nature. He then decribed the
Eiffel Tower and gave the correct
measurements Of all its various parts
This tower was built TO commemorate
the fall of the Bastile in 1889. The pro-
jector OF the tower, NJ Eiffe, was al
ready distinguished for his mechanical
ingenuity before he planned this crown
ing work Of his life President Carnot
on the first day of the exhibition foated
tri-color from the top of pole on the
tower so that the French can boast that
their flag floats higher than any other in
the world
Mr.. Jackson illustrated his lecture by
photographs and steel engravings Of
the various places he described
Among these were those of the
"Eiffel tower, "Columne Vendome,
Champs Eleyses, "Tomb of Napoleon,
the Exposition buildings and Notre
Danes. He illustrated the columns of
the tower by scale drawing taking in
the Court House square. He said that if
Grace Church were placed on top of the
Court House the spire would not reach
the first floor.

AboIishinr Poverty.

NA"'AAhAhhE koNtEAys
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The current projects for the abolition
OF poverty are very attractive, because it
requires no argument to show the de.
sirability Of getting rid of poverty. If
there is any way Of abolishing 1t, by all
means let it be at once adopted. There
| are some other Inconvenience
which 1t would also be well to
| abolish at the same time,
such as death, disease, pain and
crime. But we must not expect too
much. Is 1t practicable to abolish pov.
ertyl II we use poverty to denote
merely the lack of wealth, it certainly Is
not possible to abolish it. 1t would be
agreeable, possibly, to live in world
where every one should be rich and no
body poor, provided all objects of desire
could be had without labor. Unfortune
ately we live in poor world-a world the
population Of which carries on an unend-
ing struggle for the means Of subsistence
The people Of the earth are running a
race with starvation, and are usually less
than year ahead The human race
lives literally from hand to mouth. An
overwhelming majority Of the people
must live from the proceeds of their own
labor from day to day. The number Of
rich men, though apparently large.
Is relatively small. The wealth of the
Vanderbilts, If distributed equally
among the people Of the country, would
only permit them to pass few DAYS in
idleness. II all the wealth Of the coun.
try were equally divided it would leave
all the population poor. Each would
stlil be dependent upon his daily labor
for support.

The Park GaHrd Was Innocent, But His
Efficiency Was Checked.

Park Guard James E. McDermott, Of
the Eleventh Ward Park, rendered
his resignation to the Board
of Park Commissioners yesterday.
The resignation was accepted, and John
Dooley of the Brandywine Park is filing
the position temporarily.
Mr.. McDermotts action was entirely
voluntary and was the direct result of
the charges made against him before
a meeting of the Executive Commit
teeof the Park Commissioners on Monday
morning. The charges were clearly dis
proven, it being shown that Mr.. McDer.
mott was innocent Of every accusation.
The charges had been made, however.
and although innocent. Mr.. McDermott
recognized the fact that his ef
tciency would be checked by them.
He was faithful officer, and held the
respect Of the people for his square
method Of meeting the charges.
His scccessor will be selected By the
Board ia the usual manner, in short
time.

ONE who doesn't study carefully the
workings Of the tariff robbers would ex.
press astonishment that mica. a crude
mineral, has been taken out Of the free
list BY the Mckinley bin and put under
an ad vAlorem duty Of So per cent. It
was put on the free lilt by Judge Kelley,
and the judge was certainly not 4 free
trader. His reasoa for putting mica on
the free list was that the theory Of pro
lection could not be subserved by
adding tariff to mineral
the production of which could not be
stimulated or retarded by tariff. on
the other hand the tariff increased the
cost Of raw material used by stove
makers. This tax cannot be intended 70
encourage stove-makers and other manu-
facturers who use this raw material

son Of the tax. The people are left TO
