London Papers Denounce the Heirs
Gambling and Worse Still His Being
Found out.
LONDON, june 10.-Almost the entire
press of London is united in severe edi-
torial criticism of the Prince of Wales
and his now notorious connection with
the baccarat scandal No more scathing
comments have been devoted by the
newspapers TO any public parsonage in
Grent Britain aimee the acknowledged
moral ruin Of Mr. Parnell was scath-
ingiy treated of in print.
The Lhr0nicIe condemns the iury's
finding and Lord Coleridge's partiality,
and finally asks what steps will be taken
| to vindicate Justice in the crime which
the Prince Of Wales compounded by
signing the compact with Sir William
Gordon Cummins; or whether the in.
famous scandal will be hushed up for
ever,
The fiat assertion made by the Chr0n-
ito to the effect that until the Prince of
| Wales, on oath, swears, as "his confed-
crates" did, that he, the prince, did not
violate the solemn pledge he gave to Sir
William Gordon Cummins, he, the heir
apparent, rests under an imputation of
dishonor quite as shameful as that
which the jury put upon Sir William
Gordon Cummins, reflects the general
feeling on the subject.
The Staaddid says Even If the plain
tiff comes out worst in the affair, it must
be admitted that the defendants and
their friends have a somewhat tarnished
reputation. Ii must be acknowledged
that the Prince Of Wales cannot be
wholly exempted from the censure
passed on his associates
The Star, under the heading of Roy
atty at the Stake says that the Prince
of Wales is the male head of his race.
"rhc women of his house are virtuous,
self-restrained and reliant. The English
people throughout the world want the
men to be more like the women of this
royal line"
These are only sample opinions indi-
eating the general drift. The Times and
PdH MAJ Gazette, however, are more
inclined to blame the Wilson's than the
other papers, and to condemn Sir Viii.
liam Gordon Cummns as the worst OF
the rogues who gambled.
Queen Victoria, who is indignant al
the prince and all the parties to the
scandal, is likely to request the Earl OF
Coventry, it is said, to resign his Office
as master Of her majesty's buck hounds
or chief of the royal hunt of her mai
estys household, for which office the
earl draws an annual salary of 81 500
Methodists have to-day denounced the
prince, and Baptists have appealed te
him to quit gambling.

ANNUAL Turtle FEAST.
A Feast That is Supposed to Heal the
Heartnches of EnctiOnnl Eights.

A Feast That is Supposed to Heal the
Heartaches of fractional Fights.
SALISBURY, MD., June 10-The turtle
dinner served annually by the Wicomico
Democracy to all who may choose to
come to Davis Hotel, Quautico, was
attended to-day by about 300 persons,
chiefly politicians and public men of
Wicomico and Somerset counties, Md,
and Sussex county, Del. The menu
consisted of turtle pie, turtle stew, (but
be it noted, no SOUP, roast beef, lamb,
spring chicken, roast pig, new potatoes,
peas, onions, cabbage, lettuce, string
beans, &c. This yearly feast is popu-
larly supposed to be the thing which
ccments all factions and solidifies the
masses. AS matter of fact it has never
been so much an occasion where and
when the ring went to fix up the cam
paign slate as it has been social gath
ering, where prominent men of all
parties have felt at liberty to meet and
quietly discuss the prospects of the sew
eral candidates before the primaries.
Col. William H. Stevens of Seaford,
Del, candidate for governor of that
State, William L. Sirman, Speaker of
the Delaware House of Representatives
and ex-Senstor Edward G. Ross of the
same State, were among the prominent
persons present from Delaware. Nearly
all the officials of Wicomico county
were there. rs were also the various
local candidates.

A beautiful Field Described by J

The following letter from ]. Alexan-
der Fulton of Dover, is printed in Thurs
day mornings Philadelphia Times:
As friend of agriculture and inter
ested in all that relates to II, and
especially alive TO anything new in thGt
line, read with great interest your de-
scription of Mr.. Wilson's "Itaiian
Glover" given in your edition of yes
terday. While ! agree with all
that you say in its favor, do not agree
that It is SO much of novelty as is
claimed for il in the article referred to.
And that 1t may be tested, ! herewith
enclose a stock and also give brief de-
scription of clover grown here eX-
tensively for q number OF years, and
which, from the general description you
give, think is identical with Mr.. Will

the stock and find it gives the following
dimensions:

clover 1t differs from our common red
clover in many particulars, but the most
radical, perhaps, is that it is an annual in

here for two purposes principally. First,
for improving the soil. When this is the

next May it is plowed under and is good
and cheap fertilizer. But is also sown for
forage and fed green. In this form it
makes a very good and desirable food for
cattle or horses. 1t is not used to any ex-

Some Good information Obtained at the
Indlanapolis Conferenee.

At recent meeting of the Associated
Charities reports were made by the dele
gates to the recent session Of the Confer
ence of Charities and Corrections at
Indianapolis, Ind.
The superintendent, Mrs. Clark. gave
some account of the far reaching work
done for children in that city Beginning
with babyhood, the child enters the day
nursery, thence to the kindergarten, of
which there are now eight, and after that
into the domestic training schools. These
are divided into two sections-tirst, the
kitchen garden where all is done in minia-
ture, and next into the cooking school and
among real household appliances. All this
instruction is of the most practical kind
and the food prepared is such as would be
fit for the homes of the little cooks. Boys
and girls are both trained in dining room
work and nursery maids class shows by
its title a new era for babies. The Lloyd
school, the library, &C., continue the good
work which has been obliged perforce to
include the parents, who grow so inter
ested in the children's achievements they
will not lag behind. Last year 3,0S7 chill
dren We're cared for at an expense of only
s. 600.
The Reformatory for girls fills the place
OF the Ferris Industrial School for Boys
here, and with noble results. The girls
from being utterly wayward and bad are
trained in domestic science, professional
laundry work, chair-caning and the
dressing of wounds and care for the sick
so that when they go back into the world
they are helpers in many homes.
Mrs, ID. II. Kent told of the fresh air
work for sick babies and tired mothers
and children. Daily excursions go out
from the city to Fairview Park, one of the
suburbs about sir miles out on the cleo
trio railway line, where plenty of good
food and wholesome sights and sounds
make a rest cure. The country week
work is also carried on with its usual sue
cess.
AT the close of the meeting inquiries
were made in regard to continuing the
country week in our city for this sum
mer and it was announced that the com
mittee were already planning to begin its
good work about the middle Of July. Con-
tributions for its furtherance will be essen
tial to insure its success. Prompt responses
earnestly invited.

Presiding Elder Wilson and the congrega-
tions and several ministers of the district.
At the meeting to-day there were 20

elder, but he was informed that he could
get no redress there, the only place would
be before the general conference.

the CUMMINs' WILL CASE.
Application Made to Set Aside the vii
nf GenrCa ". CnmmIns of Ken

Application Made To set Aside the VIII
of George w. Cummins of Kent
County.
Application has been filed with the
register of wills of Kent county, at Dover,
to set aside the will of the late George W.
Cnmmins. 1t is understood that under the
terms of the will the daughters of the de-
ceased have u life use of the property, and
that at their death it reverts to nephews
and nieces should the application of the
eaveators he successful there will be an
equal division of the estate between all the
children, and Walter Cumnins, ex-
Judge of the municipal, one of the brothers,
would each come in for share. 1t is
understood that all the children. daughters
included, are opposed to the will Counsel
in the case are Mcssrs. Ridgely and VOL
colt for the cayeators, and Hon. Thomas
f. Baynrd, Senator Gray and n. b.
Smithcrs for the will. II is stated that the
estate does moi anything like reach the re-
ported S250,000 and that the actual value
is nearer 100000.
Rumor makes ex Judge Walter Cum
minis n moving spirit iii the dispute. A
subpoena was issued for the ex-judge by
Register Cooper, at Dover, on Thursday,
and given to the sheriff for service As
Walter has not been within the jurisdic-
tion of Delaware summons for some
time it is probable it will be returned
mon est There is some additional in
terest attaching itself to the case from the
fact that iii the event of the will being set
aside Walter Cummins, scores of creditors
may be able to secure his portion of the
estate in partial settlement of their claims.

rire nt WALTON 3 Mhnnn,s.

The alarm of fire from box S6, Mary
land avenue and Cedar street, at 93l
O'Clock Friday morning, was due to slight
blaze at the Walton & Whann Company s
phosphate works, at the foot of Marsh
Lane. The fire broke ont in a frame
building known as the drying schute,
which was almost entirely destroyed. The
fire brigade of the works got the fire under
control and kept it from spreading, so that
when the fire department arrived it was
only necessary for the Weccacoe engine TO
60 into service. The loss will amount to
about 5000. The fire was quite threatening
for awhile and only the prompt action Of
the fire brigade prevented an extensive
confederation.

The New York Bride Of Sir William
Treated to Cold shoulder.


LoNpoN, June I1.-The Iranby Croft
baccarat scandal has started a war in Eng
land thar. while it threatens social ostra-
cism to the vanquished in the first en-
counter, may even grow to such proper
tiolls as TO sweep the septre of power from
the hand destined by the right of birth to
sit upon the throne itself British pride
has been aroused, and the outcome is not
easy to forecast.
Sir William Gordon Cumming and his
bride are already experiencing the un-
pleasantness of the position in which he
has been placed in English eyes by the
verdict in the baecarat case. The newly
welded pair were absolutely cut by the
society nj Wellaton Hall, in Nottingham
shire, the country seat of Lord Middleton,
to which they went yesterday after the
wedding
No one Of the neighboring families has
called on them, and when they arrived at
the railway station yesterday evening they
were ignored by those gathered about and
were compelled to drive to the hail in a
cab
The cost of the trial is estimated to have
been fully $4,000, which falls on Sir
William,
The Liberal Radical Society of Scotland
has lust sent to the Prince OF Wales a
resolution passed by that organization
condemning his action in connection with
the baccarat case, and calling upon him to
resign his commission in the army.
1t is said that the queen is so deeply
stirred up over the baccarat revelations
that she has directed the Prince of Wales
to make an early personal explanation of
his conduct and that some of the prince's
associates in the game may be made to feel
the royal displeasure

lations are enough to sober up the strongest

due to administrative changes in the
county government on account Of the
Five Commissioners bill and the abb
