How to Improve Delaware,

ing capital and enterprise in the Del
aware. Maryland Peninsula are heart
lily seconded by the leading newspa-
pers of the State. The Wilmington
Morning Nelcs observes in this con-
nection that there are vast tracts OF
land within reach which may be Sc
cured, the marshy portions thereof
reclaimed. the whole wilderness be-
ing made to blossom as the rose, a
garden OF beauty, utility and profit.
Political and commercial cOnsidera-
tiOns are of Importance in this con-
nectiOn. but there is something else
that NAV be said of much greater
interest to a large number of people.
The fact is not generally known,
though it ought to be, that a stretch
of country through the central part
of southern New Jersey and through
the Peninsula above referred to is a
natural sanitarium. Certain diseases
which rayage humanity elsewhere
are there practically unknown to the
natives. Herein is fresh field for
human activity, which from a phil
anthropic standpoint has the very
highest claims for consideration.
Thousands of weak-lunged and weak
tllrOated people from New England
and the Northern States generally
have iourneyed to the far South in
q. 3. Z, an gfiiygsaaUqf finding relief and
afetv. They have SIMPLY exchanged
climate that is I'd rigorous for
heir kind for one of y ially ener-
yating character Inn re central
sandy and piny belt, how en- may be
'ound a section with advd tages en-
,irely unknown in other\ regions.
The enterprising men of iyelaWare
ought to take hold of this proSlem,
show what can be done lead the Way,
and thus secure the long-needed po-
Iitical social and commercial redehp-
5ion of their State. The new mayor
Of Wilmington is a man of enlight-
sned views and earnest purposes. !
Herein he may find an opportunity
of great public usefulness. What is |
wanted generally is the liberal difTu- |
sion of thorough and reliable infor-
nation concerning this whole mat

Delaware Peaches.

The estimate of the peach crop
furnished by /. n Mills, the special
agent Of the Philadelphia, Whining
ten and Baltimore railroad, printed
on Wednesday last, was somewhat
of a surprise to some persons who
were under the impression that the
estimates which had been previously
furnished were rather high and that
the crop would not reach 100000
baskets as had been predicted. Mr.
Mills's estimate places the number
at 5000. 900, which is higher than
any peach grower has yet claimed.
The estimates made at the in
stance of the railroad company, are
generally considered as reliable as
it is possible to obtain them, the fig-
ures being secured by the station
agents of the company along the
road from the growers themselves.
In 1891 the railroad estimate was
too high, but this is liable to happen
with any estimate.
From the railroad estimate and
from estimates made by the growers.
it is evident that half of all the
peaches will come from Delaware. |
The 100000 baskets which it is es-
timated will come from along the 1
main line of the Delaware railroad /
will come from Delaware, as will also
the greater portion of those which
will be shipped on the Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia railroad.
II the entire 100000 baskets est-
mated as coming from along that
road all come from Delaware the en-.
tire Delaware crop will be $500 600
baskets. This is higher than the es-
Inmates made by the growers who
thought that the Delaware crop
would reach 100000 baskets.
The estimate. if the crop bears
i out, would also show that the
IN Delaware will produce
more peaches on an average than
hose in Maryland. Two counties

The store is not simply a
shopping place, but a place to
visit. The exhibition changes
every day. Eleven elevators
are going up and down to
all floors.
If any store is cooler than an
other in hot weather it should
be this, because it's windows
and doors open on all four
sides to the streets, and fresh
air is constantly brought into
the basement and distributed
by pipes.
The outside of the store still
retains its old-fashioned shell
but the inside is the surprise.
The floors measure more

GOVERNOR ALTGELD, of Illinois, has
pardoned Anarchists Fielden, Neebe
and Schwab. Neebe was serving a
sentence Of fifteen years and the
other two were serving life SEN
tences. The execution of the other
fonr convicted anarchists and the
sentences of these three has had
baneful effect upon the anarchists of
Chicago and upon the anarchists of
all parts of this country but the par
doning of these three will very prob
ably have the effect of encouraging
this class of people to renewed vio-
lence. Governor Altgeld may have
had sufficient and justifiable reasons
for thus extending executive clem-
ency bat the effect will ejust as bad
as though he had not any good and
valid reason. We sincerely trust
the effect of these pardons will not
cause a repetition of the Haymarket
massacre.

A gentleman residing in this town

He said chat there was nothing at

which were occupied at the time of
his first call by Mr.. and Mrs. A. B.

Mr.. Robert W. Reynolds, of Fred

to the Milford gentleman, and when
another caller arrived he had to
lounge around, as there was not an
other chair for him to sit upon.
Those in charge are doing all in their
power, laboring like trogans to make
a respectable appearance, but it is
hard work and expensive work. The
Delaware people are disgraced, and
