THE sTRYCHNINE FIEND.

Reckless and Criminal Destruction o !
Our Canine Population.
DR., Vaughsns little dog Scott came
to an untimely death on Sunday. resulting
from strychnine supposed to have been reck
lessIy thrown out in meat, for the whole
sale destruction of the super abundance of
dogs that are known to exist in these parts.
This one little dog was an innocent,
harmless creature, as playful as kitten
and everybody's friend, and his death is
presumably an accident.
No honest or fair minded person would be
guilty of deliberately throwing poison
broadcast. for valuable dogs are quite as
likely to partake of it as the worthless ours
it is cowardly act and inexcusable in any
one.
There are dogs. and there are dogs. Some

are others worse than common ours, and
may well be called q nuisance. OF the lat

those who wish to rid the town OF its un-
desirable surplus would be more worthy of
respect if they would openly shoot the of

rather than to sneakenly throw out poison

What Is Going On in the Theatrical
World.
The Opera House wiIl open for the sea-
son of 1S93-94 on Wednesday evening next,
September 20. The interior of this place of
amusement has been thoroughly renoya-
ted and beautifed, and Manager Mcintyre

opening night He has secured strong
attraction in John E. Toole's Killarney and
the Rhine Company, with that gentleman
in the leading roles, and supported with a
fine company. The Philadelphia ITEM
commenting on this company says:
The phenomenal success in England,
Australia, and thus far in America, is a
romatic comedy drama entitled Killarney
and the Rhine, introducing and entwining
the noble-hearted Irish and German in ever
lasting bonds of friendship. 1t is replete
with stirring situations, startling climaxes,
and full of Irish wit German comedy, Irish
and German song. dances. The scenic eff
fects are novel and realistic.
The play is different from all other dramas
in which the Teutonic and Celt are intro
duced, and from the hackneyed eviction
business and the other caricatures of Irish
peasant life that would lead auditors to set
down noble hearted people as lot of be
sotted drunkards, seeking quarrels for the
love of crime, and numbering people from
behind hedges and thickets. The poor
Germans only fault is honesty and sim
plicity. A true Irishman is brave, OPEN
hearted and just; and the battle-fields of
America. France and Great Brittian show
that he meets his enemy in the open.

great buildings of the metropolis. As
rode up through Wall street and Broadway
streets that mean to US only the sharp,
greedy competition Of trade-and saw every
sign of the broker and merchant hidden
by the flag, the thought came TO me, what
will they do with all these flags when this
celebration is over. That night at the
banquet I ventured to suggest that they
should be sent to the schoolhouses and
raised over them, and now that has bsen
pretty generally done. [Applause.l

OF INTEREST TO GuNNERs..

Quails, Partridges and Pheasants are
Protected From the Huntsman.
Now that the cunning season is near al
hand, there are some new laws in the in
terests of game that may be of benefit to
review:
A special act of the lart General Assem-
bly, makes it unlawful for any person in
the State of Delaware to hunt, kill, take or
destroy, sell or expose for sale, or have in
his or her possession, after the same has
been killed. any partridge, quail or phea-
SAINT before the first day of November, A. D..
1894; and and after November first,
1894, it shall be unlawful to hunt, kill,
take or destroy, sell or expose for sale.
after the same has been killed. any par
fridge, quail OF pheasant, except between
the first day of November and the first day
of January in each year, or to hunt, kill,
take or destroy, sell, or expose for sale, or
have in his or her possessions after the
same has been killed, any rabbit, or hare,
except between the first day of November
and the first day of January in each year.
The great numbers of birds killed by the
severe weather last winter was the cause of
this amendment to the game law of the
State.
But the sportsman need not be wholly
disconsolate as the woods are said to be full
of rabbits and squirrels, and in six weeks
the sound of the huntsman will be heard
in the land.
Reed birds have almost wholly disap-
peared from the marshes and but few are
being shot At the beginning of the sea-
son it looked as if the season would be an
excellent one and the men who went gum
ming on the first few days of the season
reported excellent sport.
On Labor Day, when there were few men
working. hundreds of gunners filled the
marshes and many birds we're killed and
many which were not killed were fright
ened away. Then the recent storms of
wind also had their effect on the season, as
the reeds were blown down and broken
and there was nothing left for the birds 10
feed upon.

its claim as the queen of American fruits.
1t won the first place at the Worlds Fair,
and even California comedies herself
beaten.
The size of the crop equalIed and exceeded
the estimates of most people, though I. N.
Mills, former Superintendent of the Della
ware Railroad made very neat estimate
when he prophesied 5000, 900 basket.
But all the Delaware peaches are not
grown in Delaware, the adjoining counties
of Maryland along the peninsula are
quite as famous as Delaware for the pro-
duction of this and other luscious fruits.
In the midst Of the greatest financial de-
preston the immense crop Of fruit has been
wonderful blessing to this peninsula,
work has been furnished thousands who
would otherwise have been idle, and in
every section canneries and evapr ators
have been busy, and though there is yet
wonderful scarcity of money it would have
been much more scarce had there been no
peach crop. The price has .bsen small, but
the aggregate is great benefit to business
in general.
The distribution of the peach crop this
year has included the territory from Rich
mond, Va, to Toronto, Canada, on the
north, ard Chicago on the west. Within
this district nine cities have taken over a
million and half baskets. Of these cities
New York leads with about 800 900 baskets;
Philadelphia took about 100000; Boston,
210, 100; Wilmington, Del, 10000; Pitts
burg, $4,000; Cleveland. $1,000; Chester, Pa.
$4,000; Buffalo, 10000 and Providence, R.
l., 5000 baskets, making total of 1.6OO,
600 baskets. The totalshipments by rail to
points laying within the territory named, 10
5. were 5773 carloads of 600
baskets each, total 3,463, 800 baskets.
1t is estimated that / 900 900 baskets have
been shipped by water and hauled out of
the orchards in traders wagons At least
another 1 900 900 baskets have been used in
the canning establishments, the evapora-
tors, and by the canning of pesches done by
private families; nearly 100000 baskets Of
the fruit have been destroyed by storms
that shook it from trees and made it un-
marketable, and by railroad accidents that
destroyed thousands of baskets of peaches
and allowed other thousands of baskets to
spoil because Of the stoppage of transporta-
ton. So it is that the most conservative
estimate makes the total of the peach crop
of 1898 more than 100000 baskets. The
value of this great crop has been about
Perhaps a better estimate
would be 35 cents basket. or 50, ,1oO, 900 for
the 5000, 900 baskets. Out OF this sum the
G overs have not received more than an
average profit of 10 cents basket.
