jerseys Cranberry Crop.

A Trenton, IN. J. letter to the Phil
adelphia Press states that this will be
a very profitable year for the growers
of cranberries. The reports coming in
from all parts of the state indicate
that the crop will be immense and the
prices much advanced. Owing to the
scarcity of all kinds of fruit this year
the hope of the commission men has
settled in the cranberry crop, and
they are already placing orders al
though the picking does not begin un-
til the middle of September. The crop
last year amounted to $4,000 bushels,
and this year it will exceed 175,OOO.
The closing price last year was FIVE dol
lars, and the market will open with
even higher quotation, and it is pos
sible that the price will hold until the
last crate is sold. A rough estimate
indicates that the New Jersey crop of
cranberries will bring upwards of one
million of dollars. oYerprodqctiOn
has been the burden of the discussions
in the meetings of the American Asso-
citation. The crops of 1885 and 1888
were very large, and in consequence
the growers were scarcely paid for the
trouble of picking. This year the crop
is big, but all indications show that ev-
cry berry will be consumed.

The Cholera.

The Asiatic cholera plague, Originat-
ing at Mecca, the Holy city of the No
hammedan World, seems to have made
steady progress from point to point,
along the shores of the Mediterranean
and for some time has been raging in
different localities in Spain. The dis.
ease is not as dreaded as in former
years because great progress has been
made in its successful treatment. A
distinguished English physician, DIR.
Norman Kerr, says two things are to
be especially guarded against as the
chief sources of danger in a cholera
epidemic-panic and alcohol. "Manv
people," he says, "have died of cholera
who, humanity speaking, had no right
to have it at all, but who were attacked
simply because they were afraid of
taking it. As regards alcohol, it is
not only potent prOvocation of chol-
era when that disease is about, but it
is a most unreliable and unsafe rem
edy. One of the best of Precautions is
to go about ones ordinary business
without fear. AUOid all Intoxicating
drinks, all unripe or over-ripe fruit.
and such articles of food as from past
experience, the individual knows does
not agree with him, There should be
moderation. in eating and drinking
with meals as regular as possible and
eaten slowly. There should also be
strict attention to cIeanliness(of the
person and the household) with fresh
air and exercise in moderation" The
Philadelphia Ledger, after quoting the
remarks of DR.. Kerr, says "These
suggestions of DR.. Kerr,s come strong.
ly to the support of our own Philadel-
phia physicians experience and advice,
resulting from their combats with chol-
era in 1882, 1910 and 1856, especially
the suggestions to abstain from intox-
icants of all kinds, and for the obser.
ance of cleanliness indoors and out
in person, in apparel and in all habits"
While it is quite possible that cases of
cholera may be imported into this
country from Europe, there is no
reason to apprehend the appearance of
the epidemic here, and, in view Of the
recognized ability of the medical pro-
fession To gFapple with il successfully,
there should be no special occasion for
alarm should it make its appearance,
provided the proper sanitary precau-
tions are observed ,-BaltimOr Sun.

Chat with Consul Knowles.
HE Is NOT HERE ON ANY POLITICAL MIS-
SION WHATEVER.

United states consul to Bordeaux,
France, Horace Greeley Knowles. ar
rived at Wilmington from Washington
last week. This is his first visit to
Delaware since his arrival from abroad.
Mr.. Knowles is looking extremely
well, He is twenty pounds heavier
than when he left here over a year ago.
He is two inches taller and has in
creased in girth to quite extensive pro-
portions. He looked quite formidable
in a shiny Partisan bell-crowned silk
hat, and is attired in handsome, free
trade Boulevard Montmartre tailoring
and unexceptional patent leather point
toes.
II am delighted with the French peO-
ple," Consul Knowles exclaimed. 81
would rather live in Bordeaux among
the "hOgshead aristocracy" as those
good people are called, than in any
other part of the world"
"What about Sussex" the reporter
interjected.
"Oh, you must allow me to say that
l am not here upon any political mis-
sion whatever. am only delighted to
get home and see ali my old friends
again"
Mr.. Knowles explained that he had
only just come from Washington. He
has seen no one down the state. His fur
Tough extends six or seven weeks more.
He has visited other countries.
Monte Carlo and Nice he likes very
much, but he much prefers the French

Sheffield, Alabama.

Among the many new places SPRING
ing up in the south is Sheffield, in Ala
bama. John B. Spruance, son of David
l.. Spruance, residing near town, dur
ing the past month, went there to re-
side permanently. He has entered in
the General Real Estate business, and
would like to correspond with any in
terested. The Sheffield daily paper
says:
THE representative of the Sheffield
Improvement company, of Philadel-
phia, which syndicate has decided to
invest $4,000 in buildings here, and
has already purchased $50, 900 in lots,
has arrived and Immediately begun to
look at the lay of lots belonging to his
company. This gentleman, Mr.. J. B.
Spruance, is manager of the company's
interests here and will superintend all
work which is proposed to be done by
the syndicate. Mr.. Spruance has Sc
lected an Office in the Land Company's
building, and it Is being handsomely
fitted up for him. When the Office is
furnished and complete the work map
ped out by the manager will be Quick
ly transacted. The lots belonging to
the company have been staked of. de-
details and plans of the buildings,to be
erected will soon be on hand and then
$4,000 contract will be given out to
master builders of the city. The
houses for dwellings will all be built in
the most approved style with all of the
advantages of modern sanitary meas
ures, They will be built in different
portions of the city and will in every
case correspond with the neighborhood
in which th$y will be located. Mr..
Spruance is greatly pleased with Shelf
field and says the city is we'll and IA
vOrably known in the Quaker CITY.
To judge FROM the large amount Of
Philadelphia capital now being invest.
ed in Sheffield and vicinity they think
much of our natural advantages and
future possibilities. .ap

Money in Watermelons.

A Salisbury, Md, despatch to the
Baltimore Sun says The farmers of
WicomicO county are in better
frame of mind just now. Last year
everything was a failure with them on
account of excessive rain. The crops
this year have hardly been up to their
average in quantity but the quality is
good. There is complete failure of
the peach crop, and the apple supply
is so short that but one of the eight or
ten distilleries in the county is in Ope-
ration. The yields of wheat and oats
were excuses for a crop, especially the
latter. Those farmers who this season
gave their attention to melons and
other kindred truck, have reaped a
good harvest. The melon crop, which
has been harvested more than a week
ago is now bringing back to growers
their lost returns. A responsible ag-
ent who handles the bulk of them
grown in this vicinity, furnishes the
following figures Eighty,six carloads
averaging 1900 melons to the car, net
ted the owners $175 per car. Besides
those shipped by rail abont nine car
loads went by water to Baltimore and
Washington. Those sent by rail went
to Pittsburgh, Scranton, Reading,
Wilkesbarre. Philadelphia, Pa. Au-
burn, N. Y; New York State, Hart.
ford, Conn. Providence, Rhode ISL
and; Boston and Worcester, Mass,
and Newark, N. ]. Governor Jack.
son, W. II. Jackson, J. J. Norris, E. S.
Truitt, and NJ. A. Parsons are the lar
gest growers here. Besides those sent
from Barren Creek, Quantico, Sharp
town and Tyaskin, districts as many
more have been shipped, which place
the value of the crop at more than $50
600. When it is considered that COM
paratlvely few of our farmers are en-
gagged in the growing of this crop, the
profits those few have made can be
easily seen. The same authority says
the potato crop of the county yielded
the growers $4,000. The growing of
sweet potatoes for market is beginning
to claim the attention of our farmers.
A number of them have acres now
growing. The net income of the late
strawberry crop was 100000. This,
together with the money earned by
the pickers, places the berry crop
away head of all others as a revenue
producer. While but few farmers in
the county were growers Ofthese crops
the majority yet clinging to the mis-
cry of exclusive grain raising, the mon
ey has circulated and relieved the
stringency of the money market.

WILL PLAY BALL AGAIN.

Seely was in bed ten days, lowering
between life and death, but in four
weeks he was out and could eat as
well as any man. 1t does not hurt
him to move his jaw, he can only open
his mouth three-quarters of an inch.
When he goes to sleep he places
wedge in his mouth to prevent the
closing up of his jaw again. The doc
tors think that he will be all right in
the future, and Seely says he will play
base ball again next season. He is
now a special nurse in the hospital

A DELICATE OPERATION.

On April IA the operation was per-
formed by the surgeon, assisted by
Norton Downs. An incision was made
on each side of his face parallel to the
zygoma, to the lobe of the ear down
the ramus, turning all the tissues
down. Then on the right side of the
hinge of the jawbone a small trephine
was applied just below the neck of the
jawbone. After the button had been
removed half an inch of the ramus was
taken away with the cbisel. On the
left side the same thing was done and
third of an inch of bone was remov-
ed with chain saw, and the attach
ments of the temporal muscles cut.
The jaw was then forced open three
quarters of an inch and an india rub
Der wedge inserted in his mouth. The
technical term of the case is "anchy-
loscis of maxillary, temporal articula-
ton"

HIS JAWS LOCKED TIGHT.

Seely suffered in silence. He could
talk, but could only take liquid nour-
ishment, and he managed to so con-
ceal his infrmity that nobody but his
closest friends knew of his infiction.
Last spring DR.. Abbey, of New York,
found the man out, and after much
persuasion he performed an operation
on the right side where the ball struck.
This gave Seely temporary relief for
three weeks, but gradually the mus
cles again stiffened, and his jaw was
locked tighter than ever.
The man drifted to Philadelphia,
and in April last he was taken to the
Pennsylvania Hospital suffering from
a severe attack of pneumonia. Upon
arriving in the ward the physician
said, put out your tongue" but the
man said, that is impossible" At
last he reluctantly confessed that he
was lOck-jawed. AS soon as he had
recovered from his pneumonia the
doctors at once set to work and per-
suaded him to undergo the operation,
saying they could cure him if he would
risk the ordeal.

TEXAS MINES AND MINERALS.

The rock quarry at old CoalyilIe in
Palo Pinto county is assuming consider
able proportions. 1t is now using two
derricks, and the stone which Is being
shipped from there will compare very
fayorably with any in the state.
The Mason County Times, speaking
editoriaily, says: The extensive beds
OF iron ore in the eastern counties of
Texas are being rapidly developed.
Their high quality aud richness are at
tracing such attention as points to large
operations in the near future. The
remarkable deposits of magnetic and
specular ores in our section of the
state have awakened the interest of in
vestors. and only await the advent of
railways. Texas has long been known
as having rich coal fields,
and now that new industries are
springing up the fuel supply will
claim the attention it derseves. Coal
and iron are of paramount Importance,
but 1t would be a remarkable phenome-
non If q region larger than 1.-The German
empire counted among its riches only
these two important minerals. Copper,
lead, gypsum, kaolin, fire and potter's
elays, gluss sands, petroleum and
numerous valuable stones and earths
await the developing hand of capital
Manganese deposits of great value have
long been known, and recent prospecting
promises to add to this valuable product.
The precious metals are associated with
lead and copper IN several districts.
