Inov HALL is all very well perhaps
There is fine assortment Of excuses,
apologies and explanations for the failure
but it would have been better If the in
stigators of the scheme had exhibited
wisdom and skill sufficient to provide

shown that they did not possess those
qualities requisite for the sue

RECOVERED A VALUABLE WATCH.
An Eastern Shore Man Relieved of a
One-Thousand Dollar Timepiece.

On Wednesday night of last week a
well known Eastern Shore Of MARYLAND
man, whose name is withheld, sat down
on a Market street step and went to
sleep. The general impression is
that he had imbibed too freely
of Wilmington tangle-foot which did
not rest easily ON n local-option stomach.
A well-known local negro crook took ad-
vantage Of this and relieved him of
81 900 diamond-studded watch.
When he realized his loss he reported
it to Detectives McVey and Witsil They
found the watch in private house where
the robber had left It, but have not yet
found the culprit The detectives refuse
TO divulge either the name of the Mary
land man or the man who stole his watch.

SIGNS OF \ MILD WINTER.-"I saw
more signs to-day ola late fall and q
mild winter" said an old Lackawanna
Valley, Pa, weatherprophet last week.
Il have lived eighty-six years. l have
never before seen dandelion blossoms
in this region on the 1st of October, ex-
cept three years ago, when we had q
very warm fall and an uncommonly
mild winter. Goldenrods all over the
upper Lehigh plateau are as fresh and
bright as they were three weeks ago. |
never saw the blossoms so yellow and
beautiful on the 1st dav of October be-
fore. Mountain ashbe"ries are two
weeks later in getting real red than
they generally are, and that is sure
indication of an open winter. There
has been no frost to change the color of
the forest leaves, chestnut burrs still
cling to the nuts. and acorns haven't
dropped from the trees yct-good signs
of a warm winter.
Then take grasshoppcrs for another
sure sign Of Il late fall. They are as
lively US they were in August. caught
three to-day, and they yielded molasses
rs freely as they did in midsummer.
When there is going to be q cool fall
and a hard winter, you can't coax a
grasshopper to spit out molasses after
the 1st Of September Crickets are
thicker than they were six weeks ago,
and that's another unfailing indication
ofan open winter Tree toads have
sung after nightfall two weeks longer
than they did in 1891. They are good
werther prophets, and they tell me
that heavy overcoats will be drug in
the market next winter Bull frogs
croak in the ponds at night with good
deal more energy than they generally
do at this time ofthe fall, and that means
long pleasant autumn, and winter
without snow. All the indications go
TO show that people will have to pay
about 800 per cent. more for their ice
next summer than they gave this year. y
