Close Of Famous Partisan Cafe.

The Cafe Procope, which, with hardly
a sigh from the Partisan press, has
closed its doors for good, was at one
time the center Of literary France. 1t
was founded by one Procope, a Sicilian,
in the year 1889 At this cafe Diderot,
Marnontel, Freron and MERCER met
Voltaire sat here often from 10 in the
morning till midnight, during which
time he quaffed his coffee-indulging
sometimes in twenty cups-on levee
days with the aristocracy and at other
times with the bourgeoisie.
Then the first revolution swept its
horrors around the place. It stood
throughout the empire and the restore
ton. The old tables were allowed to
remain, and it was considered sacri.
legious to call in tile aid of the carpen.

came the fall Of the Commune, the cafe

To prove that from the seed they've sown

Last weeks crop conditions.

The observers and crop correspondents
of the New Jersey State Weather Service
report for the week ending Friday last, that
the rainfall has been above and the tenn
perature and sunshine below the seasonal
average in all the districts except the ex-
treme northwest These conditions have,
very generally, retarded the fall plowing
and seeding, except in the section noticed,
where favorable conditions prevailed, so
that this work has been completed. Corn
is in fine condition, but has made little or
no progress toward maturity. Fruits,
especially pesches, melons and tomatoes
have Jared badly. but the bright sunshine
on the last two days has greatly helped the
picking and shipping.
Professor Halsted. in recent visit to
Gloucester and Camden counties, found
that the fields OF egg plants were usually
ina bad condition, many ofthem so serious
ly blighted as to be entirely worthless. The
stem Of the affected plant begins to decay
at or near the surface of the ground and The
leaves will, turn brown and die. The trouble
starts in the hot-bed as seedlings when
spotted out are sometimes found thus
diseased and therefore great care should be
exercised in selecting plants for the field
that have perfectly healthy stems, partcn-
lar attention being paid to that portion
near the surface Of the ground.

the Can Houses,

The individual who can devise some
con trivanee to enable a grower to get rid
Of his load at the can house and return
to his work or home, will be hailed as a
bencfactor. Waiting to unload is one of
the greatest objections to the tomato
grower. 1t is possible for team to drive
up to factory, or as near to one as he
can get, at eight o'clock in the morning
and find enough loads ahead of him to
keep the cannery running for twenty-four
hours. There is but one thing for him to
do and that is to ungear his horses and
jump on and ride one of them home. or
if he prefers to walk and lead or drive
them he of course can do so This pro-
cess to those who live any distance away
is tedious and tiresome, and of course re-
Guires an extra wagon and many extra
baskets. The waiting, as before remarked,
is one of the greatest pull-backs the growers
are forced to contend with. If some one
could suggest or devise some way for
team to drive up to the factory and deposit
his load and return to his work, he will be
worthy of a gold medal as large as a
tomato.
The three canning houses are running
to their fullest capacity. They start work
in the morning, some of them at least, with
25 to 80 loads left over from the preced ing
day, and after working all day, have more
surplus left than they began with in the
morning. How they are ever going to get
out at this rate would seem difficult to COM
pute. However this is the heighth of the
season. their receipts will doubtless lessen
trifle after this week, and it is thought by
some that next week will nearly wind p
the season. The pleasant weather for the
past ten days has been largely in favor of
the fruit and growers and the indications
are that there will be a very satisfactory
crop to the farmers with corresponding
satisfaction to the packers.
During recent visit to the canning
house of E. Wallace & Bro, and taking
survey of operations in and about it we
concluded thsre was little in the way of
fsnap" connected with the business any
where from the glover to the packer.
There is lots of care and hard labor re-
quired of the farmer to produce and deliver
them to the packer and there is lots of
capital, care and labor required of the man
or firm who invests his time and money in
putting them up and placing them in mar
ket. They are both obliged to work for all
they get, and it would seem pity that
the industry is not more profitable for all
concerned.
As an evidence of the benefit these
three canneries are to this community It
is estimated that the pay roll for labor
and fruit at the present time amounts to
nearly nine Thousand dollars week.
While it may be said that the tomatoes
are not paid for as each load is delivered,
but all the same they will be paid for
soon after the farmers have their crop all
gathered, but the labor, which represents
good share, is paid for IS it is rendered,
in many cases every evening after the
days work is finished

Camden's most distinguished guest last
Saturday night was General f. Burd
Grubb, Minister to Spain. The Grand
Army men OF this city and detachments of
military organizations from- Philadelphia
and different parts of New Jersey, rendered
TIE General grand reception and camp
fire at the Sixth Regiment Armory building.
The parade was an imposing affair and
thousands turned out TO view the process
sion. The music by the bands, the din
and glare Of burning fireworks, the cheers
and shouts from the crowds along the line
of march made scene like those We saw
10 the bygone years, excepting that We
were thirty years younger then and carried
in our marches knapsaek and musket.
Well. to make my story short, General
Grnbb made speech, Of course, SO did
Others who were officers in the Union army.
When one Of the speakers assailcd the mil
itary record Of General Mcclellan few of
the Democrats felt insulsed and for while
there was sharp fusilade OF words be-
tween couple of veterans which created
some excitement but the appearance OF the
police restored order and the exercises con-
tinued.
