They were pair Of trays, and he played

A Real Thanksgiving Prize.

She couldn't cook turkey
Or make n pumpkin pic.
And as for frying doughnuts
She simply wouldn't try.
She couldn't set a table,
Her bread would never rise,
And yet her husband called her
His sweet Thanksgiving prize.
For though on all housekeeping
Her faculties were lame,
She had hundred thousand
In her own sweet name.

OYSTER SEASON CLOS Nc


But Two More Days Remaining In the
Customary rine-rhe seasons Yield.
The oyster season. according to an
ancient custom and, In some places, a
law, will expire on Thursday at
midnight Until this year law has
existed in most Of the Maryland
counties forbidldg their sale in May,
June. July and August. Tho present
Legislature OF that state repealed that
law, and now the delicious bivalyes can
be legally sold and served out all the
year round. just as In Delaware.
Very few oysters are handled during
the heated term in comparison with the
mum Der sold during the fall and winter.
Out OF fifty oyster dealers In this city.
not more than three make speciality OF
selling oysters during the summer
months ia the same way as In winter.
These dealers have special customers who
require oysters all summer, and with
these and very light transient demand,
from eight TO fifteen barrels Of oysters
are sold each day. The demand has never
been known to exceed fifteen barrels any
day during the summer season.
Taken as whole, the season OF 1890
81, which Is Just about closing, has been

be raised at the beginning OF the present
year, were about % per cent. higher than
the previous season, aud this was q
severe blow that was ksenly felt for
many weeks The beds, however, held
out their allotted time, the oysters were
excellent and the supply kept pace with
the demand.
During that heated term, two or three
weeks ago, the demand, which bad been
heavy. fell off to an alarming extent aud
the large dealers in this and other cities
of Maryland and Pennsylvania found
themselves with big stock on hand,
Many of the best oysters were then
shipped TO Cape May and Absecom
N. j. waters to be kept until mid
summer The same oysters will then be
fat and salt, and will be reshipped TO the
cities where they will find ready sale
Such warm spell before the close Of the
season has occurred but four times in
ten years, and then not 80 disastrously
as this year.
A prominent local dealer when ques-
TONED this morning about prospects for
next season replied that nothing could
be determined about that until the seaso
began. Oysters may be higher or lower
III price, or they may BIO so scarce that
only a few Of the largest firms can afford
to handle them at all Wilmington arms
will get most OF the supply from New
Jersey waters, and these now promise to
yield abundantly,

With pleasure I thank my many
friends and the public for the liberal
patronage they have given nv Car
pet Cleaning business. The past
year, which has been 3 very success
full one considering the way our pro-
cess has been misrepresented, which
is exactly the same as used BY the
principal carpet cleaners in this and
many other cities of the United
States.
From seven years experience in
laying carpets in this city, cleaned
by other carpet cleaners, gives me
the knowledge Of what is required
Of first class carpet cleaning works.
We will give few Of the reasons
why it would be advantageous to
you for us to clean your carpets:
LIST. We clean as good, If not bet
ter, for less money than you have
been paying.
I'd. Positively no carpet sent
home ripped (something that has
annoyed you often).
3D.. Win call for and return
promptly (something you are not
used to perhaps).
4th. We clean carpets thoroughly
and remove every particle Of insect
life, no matter how busy we are.
9th. II you employ us you are
not troubled to get a carpet layer,
which is often very troublesome in
the midst Of busy seasons.
Special attention given TO Reno
