1000 and 5000 carloads of melons

Macon were shipped from New York
Tor London a few days ago. The aver.

A LARGER BUILDING NEEDED.-The
Philadelphia EUening Telegraph says /:
"An esteemed contemporary publishes
a pretty little picture of Delaware's
proposed building at the Worlds Fair,
which it is expected will be held in
Chicago some time within the present
century. The design is quite attrac-
tive, but one suggestion might be per-
mitted from an outside source. The
house is hardly large enough to accom-
modate the Blue Hens Chickens, A
Mansard roof and an annex or two
would probably ix the matter. Little
Delaware should, by all means, be rep
resented at Chicago; but it would be a

The Souls Flight.

When GOODNESS wraps this suffering clay,
All, whittier strays the immortal mind !;
1t cannot die, it cannot stay,
But leaves its darksned dust behind,
Then, unembodied, doth it trace
By steps each planet heavenly way,
Or fill at once the realms of space;
A thing of eyes, that all survey?
Eternal, boundless, undecayed,
A thought unseen, but, seeing all,
All, all in earth, or skies displayed,
Shall it survey, shall it recall
Each fainter trace that memory holds,
So darkly of departed years,
In one broad glance the soul beholds,
And all that was at once appears
Above or Love Hope, Hate or Fear,
1t lives, all passionless and pure;
An age shall feet like earthly year
Its vars as moments shall endure.
Away. away, without a wing,
Der all, through all, its thoughts shall fly
A nameless and eternal thing,
Forgetting what it was to die.

earnestly to group of reporters that

words before. But quickly recovering
they followed the man to his room.
He rang for a bell-boy and when the
messenger arrived, the host said:
Bring me four, nice, sparkling

Then all was silent. You could

The somewhat remarkable story

This state of affairs has been in exist

capital, can corner the stock of bullion.

LET THEM ALONE.

Joseph Nimmo, Jr., late chief of the
Federal Bureau of Statistics, writes an
open letter to the Washington Post on
the railway problem. He discusses with
great intelligence and clearness the
subject of governmental ownership and
management, and points out that all
opinions in favor of government owner
ship or management have been charac-
terized by a failure to comprehend the
overshadowing and all important fact
that the commercial forces of the coun-
try are much more powerful in deter
mining rates than all the railroad n an
ayers of the country together or sep
arate.
In this lies the meat of TIE railroad
situation. Legislation directed upon
railroads has in nearly every instance
proven injurious, SO far as its restrict
i've features have become prominent. 1t
certainly has not been restrictive legis-
lation which has caused freight charges
on the great trunk lines to fall so per
cent. in twelve years. 1t is due to the
natural laws of competition and trade. Z
1t is equally true that in those States
of the East. where railroad problems are
best understood, and in which there has
been much less restrictive legislation
than in the granger States of the West,
rates are much lower for both passenger
and freight traffic than in those States
that have been afflicted with granger
ism. The Government has got as much
right to fix the price of wheat as it has
to fix the price of freight. There is q
constant downward tendency in both
freight and passenger traffic, and it is
the part of wise craftsmanship not to
disturb the tendency.
