The sad climax to Ferd Fullmer's
happy, useful life was almost dramatic
in its incidents The death-stricken
sufferer had almost begun to feel as if
he had eluded the fell monster, and he
was discussing some plans for the
future when the end came. A curious
sensation in the region of the heart led
him to inquire Of friend if the strange
feeling meant death. The matter was
treated rather in light vein, but the
foreboding Of the dying man was soon
realized and he fell lifeless in = moment
after the first warning that dissolution
was at hand. Our people will miss
happy, jovial Ferd Fullmer. Wherever
he went he carried an air of brightness
and sunshine, good cheer and good fel.
lowship. The scores whom he in
structed in his art will mourn his death,
for he was both good teacher and a
fine interpreter of the best masters. His
death will be heavy loss to the must
cal portion of the community, for he
was regarded as its leader, and to the
community in general, who owed him
much for the pleasure he has afforded
them by the exercise Of his gifts. Mr..
Fullmer will long be remembered in
Wilmington. No one had more warm
friends. He lived a happy life and
death came easy, with little suffering.
Well he played his part in the great
medley of life, striking few discordaut
notes upon his Tyre, but adding to the
harmony and melody Of the busy world.
A thousand blessings will be petitioned
for thee, old friend; FAREWELL

The silver question Is troubling
Samoa, but it differs in one important
detail from the silver question at home,
Here it is some of our own time-serving
politicians who are endeayoring to force
plethora Of cheap money; in Samoa
the pressure comes from outside. A
German firm imported from the father
land "a consignment Of old coins, chiefly
the issue OF The smaller states of the
former German confederation, and
insisted upon putting them into
circulation at par. The residents
objected to receiving them, as
they cannot pass them except
at u discount. The president" Baron
SEMI Won pilsack, thereupon took a
hand and insisted that the deprecated
coins be accepted in payments Of taxes
and other public obligations. The king
and the government refused to take
them, whereupon the prcsidentretcrated
lis demand, urging that Germany would
be angry if the silver were still refused.
The king and the government still de-
cline to accept the silver; Pilsack still
stands by his demand, and the question
as to what will be the final outcome Of
| the controversy remains open.

A consignment of street cars has been
received in the City Of Mexico. These
cars were built in Philadelphia, pre-
sumably because the purchasers found
they could get better vehicles for their
money there than they could in Eng
land or Germany, a pretty reliable indi-
cation that the American street car
builder can pay current wages and yet
compete with the "pauper labor" of
Europe in foreign market. 1t is not of
saas We wish to speak just nov, how
ever, but Of an innovation in street car
building which characterized this CON
signment. One Of these vehicles built in
Philadelphia to Mexican order is 4

first ever built. The chief cemetery Of
the City of Mexico is so located as to
make it practicable to use nearly all the
street railways to reach the cemetery
from all parts of the city. The hearst

New CASTLE, Sept. 3.--The members
of IL Company, N. G.. d., assembled at
the armory last evening for the rcsump-
ton of the regular weekly drills which
were dispensed with during the sum-
mer. AT the meeting Captain Evan G.
Boyd made an announcement which
was received on the part Of every mem
Der of the company with much sorrow
and regret. 1t was that he intended re-
signing his command of the company
on or before October LIST next. This
indeed is tho worst news that the COM
pany has heard for some time, and ex-
pressions of deep regret were heard on
all sides. The captain stated as his
reasons for taking the step that bust
ness engagements would hereafter pre-
vent him from performing his duties as
they should be, and he thought il would
be wise to relinquish his command and
give some one else an opportunity to fill
the office. He stated that the dark days
of the company would soon be over and
predicted a very bright future for the
organization. Captain Boyd has been a
member of Company II since it was
FIRST organized over four years ago. lie
was second lieutenant and afterwards
first lieutenant and two years ago was
elected captain, to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation oil
Hiram r. Borie. He has been faithful
member aud has always taken a great
interest in its welfare. He is a great
favorite among his men and he com
mands the respect of everybody. Since
the last Legislature, which practically
put damper on majority of the State
military organizations it has been mainly
through the efforts Of Captain Boyd
that the company has braved the storm
and held together so successfully. His
successor is not as yet talked of, but
either of the lieutenants, Booth or
Phillips, will probably be chosen.

MILK

Much of the milk sold in the cities
and towns is simply vile, to put it
mildly, and the next meeting of the
legislature should not fail to make
suitable laws in regard to this com
modify, and to prohibit the selling Of
adulterated milk. No doubt a great
amount Of disease and death are the
result of vile and unwholesome milk.
Infants, who are unable to tell of
their pain, suffer on account Of the
deadly mixture sold as milk, and why
a community should pay for genuine
article and receive the bogus, is too
outrageous to be thought Of, much
less tolerated.
Every city should have a milk in
spectOr, and every can of milk coming
into any city should pass through his
office, and when the milk is found not
to be up to the required standard it
should be poured into the gutter and
the guilty party fined.
American people stand more imposi-
tion than any other people in the
world. Barnum once remarked that
the American people liked to be hum
plugged, and they are always willing to
pay for it; but the innocent whose
health and life is at stake, should not
be made to suffer for humbugs or
humbuggers of any kind.

HOPS

One of the great industries Of the
state of Washington is hop-growing,
and millions of dollars are yearly left
here on this account. The prices each
year have varied from five cents to a
dollar and five cents.
Last year was the first in the history
OF hop-growing, when hop-lice made
their appearance, and it is thought
they were imported, but how and
from whence is hard to tell. The
thing now is to find some way to ex-
terminate them, for il they are al
lowed to thrive and prosper here the
hop industry will receive a great set
back.
Many Of the hop-growers had an idea
that the hop-lice could not thrive
here, but in this they we're mistaken.
We are afraid this insect has come 70
stay, and If 1t has it will be the means
of doing great injury to the hop
producing industry. Here is a field
for the etomologist, and one In which
he may be able to gather bugs and
stick pins through them to better
purpose than merely that Of indulging
a fad
