COST OF SHIPPING PEACHES.
The Freight Rates from Peninsula Points
to Philadelphia.

to Philadelphia.
A special to the Philadelphia Ledqer
from this city speaks as follows on the
cost OF shipping peaches from PENN
sula points:
The peach season is now fairly on,
and the growers will soon be able to
figure on their profits or their losses.
1t costs, exclusive of the price Of pick
ing and hauling to the shipping point,
about 30 cents basket to ship peaches
to the Philadelphia market. OF this
sum II cents is for freight, for com.
mission, B for the basket and 3 for haul
ing. The grower must receive 40 cents
basket for his fruit before he comes
out clear. The growers who sold their
peaches to the canneries near their
homes for % cents basket will proba-
bly, make more money than those who
shipped to the big markets. The can.
neries are now running large forces.
This year the Peninsula Gamers will
make strong fight with the California
Gamers to control the markets.
The peach growers are vigilant to
prevent combinations of agents of the
commission men for keeping down
prices. The plan seems to be for one
agent to make low bid and the others
to hold aloof. A small price is better
than nothing, and the fruit must be
sold. At Milford tine agents over
charged the growers for the freight and
hauling in Philadelphia. The growers
found that the agents had been charging
them two cents more basket for
freight and two cents more basket for
the hauling than the actual expense, IL
and cents, respectively. The growers
then chartered car and shipped their
peaches direct to Philadelphia. The
peach agents were taken by surprise,
and have compromised with the Milford
men, who have since been getting better
prices Tor their peaches.
The Delaware Railroad Company is
determined that no one shall swindle il
in shipping peaches by overlooking cars,
The company is contisticating all the
fruit found in cars over and above the
number Of baskets called for in the
manifest, and few days ago it is said
that 800 baskets were coniisticated in
New York city alone. Some OF the
agents are displeased with this ruling of
the company, and declare that some
times mistake occurs and cars are
overloaded uninteDtionally. In such
cases they claim that the railroad COM
pany should be content with collecting
freight for the surplus number Of
baskets found and should not take the
fruit. The railroad people, however,
think that there would be d great deal
OF unlntentional overlooking il they re-
Taxed the rule.

The City Up in Arms because a Preacher
sunday Called it the "wickedest on
the Earth"
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
MIDDLETowN, Aug. 21.-This COM
munity is up in arms this morning, the
result of some ugly things said in the
pulpit of the NJ. E. Church last night by
would-be smart evangelist who claims
Camden, N. j., as his home. The pas
tor of the church is just now away
spending brief vacation. Understand.
ing that two young men who claimed to
be preachers We're coming from Pitman
Grove, to remain over Sunday in town,
and being left under the impression that
they were exemplary young men, the
parson requested that they fill his pulpit
on Sunday in his absence.
In the morning fair sized audience
greeted the couple, and the singing by
them was sufficient card to attract a
very large audience in the evening. The
so.called evangelist, whose name il
printed as Rev. Harry White, occupied
the pulpit. He took for his text these
words: 'In Jesus Christ" But he did
not confine himself to any text. His
sermon was one of the most vitupera-
tive, illiterate and undignified ever lis
tened to in Middletown pulpit, and
his gestures more suited to minstrel
stage than a church. He denounced
Middletown as the "wickedest city on
the earth, and seemed 10 think that II
abounded in nothing but "rum shops
gambling hells and dance houses" He
said girls that danced were like
monkeys, and that if the "hug" wa:
taken away from dancing it would no
be SO popular. His sermon was mos
disgusting throughout TO the refined
ears of his hearers, and he spoke fol
almost an hour and three-quarters. L
is denounced on all sides as a disgrac,
to the church, and this would.be smar
preacher will never be asked to speal
here again.

II is z feet long and so inches high,
aud is photograph Of relief map of
the United States showing the oil-hear-
ing districts. Photographers stand
before the colored trans parency in the
north gallery of the Mines Build
Ing and declare it to bo the biggest thing
in the Exposition, and SO it is, from
their STANDPOINT. j. X. Killers OF the
United States Geological Survey is the
man who made the wonderful photo
graph, says the Chicago Record.
The muGel relief map was started
three years ago. 1t is made of wood
veneers, one.thirty of an inch
thick, each thickness representing 100
feet of elevation. The map was built
up OF these yeneers and then carved in
relief and a plaster cast taken. With
the light striking it from the northwest
it was photographed, the lights and
shadows giving it beautiful tone.
When the negative was transferred TO
paper, the States, lakes and names were
drawn in and a negative was taken from
it 20 inches square. This negative was
enlarged to the size Of the transparency,
"a inches by so inches.
No ordinary camera could do the
work, SO the photographer made u
camera Of o room IL by Is feet in size.
This room was blGckened inside, and
made light and even air tight. Tue
shutter was placed in the window and
the lens in the shutter. Mr.. Killers had
three expert photographers assisting
HIN.
The work was focused on ground
glass plate the same size as the photo
graph. This was done py three men
holding the plate and moving 1t back
and forth until the proper focus was Sc.
cured. Then the sensitive plate was made
ready. This was u piece of American plate
glass, three-eighths OF an inch thick,
made and polished for this particular
picture. The photographers had to wait
TWO months for proper conditions of
light and temperature. a work oil this
nature had never before been attempted
on such large scale. Mr.. Killers was
obliged to feel his way for he did not
know just how long the plate should be
| exposed. A test was first made with a
small plate, and this gave him an ap-
| proximate measure Of time.
With rare good fortune the first ex.
posure of the new plate was u success,
and beautiful photograph was secured
Then u specially arranged hose was
turned against the big plate to wash
away the chemicals. II took an hour
to do this. After the tonlng process
came the matter Of varnish. This was
the critical phase of the operation. The
plate was laid on four rubber balls, one
at each corner, and Photographer Killers
tilted it while an assistant poured ON
half u gallon of varnish. Success still
remained with him, and the trans
parency was ready for its colors. 1t took
four months from the beginning, when
the first negative of the map was taken,
to finish the transparency. 1t is valued
| at $4,000.

TO PREVENT SUYB URN.
The Philadelphia "Times" Gives
Lengthy Recipe for Curing the Face Tan

The Philadelphia "Times" Gives n
Lengthy Recipe for Curing the Face Tan.
The Philadelphia Times gives the fol-
lowing recipe for preventing sunburn
10 prevent sunburn great many re-
ceipts are daily given, but few are eff
cacious. Many girls declare that they
desire good coating of sunburn, and so
do nothing to prevent the effects of Old
SOILS rays. But the wise girl will not
allow her face to become so dark and
yellow that she loses half of her beauty.
A slight coat of tam is almost unavoid-
able, but much can be done to keep the
skin in good condition by little pre-
caution. Before going sailing, riding OF
walking in the sun, rub the face thor
oughly with little face cream. Wipe
all the grease perceptible off, and pow
der the face with some corn starch, and
wipe that off with a silk rag, and when
you return wash your face in tepid
water, and your skin will he smooth and
free from sun blemishes. For the girl
who possesses very pale skin and who
is desirious of little color, few drops
of gin thrown into the water with which
her face is washed will find that the gin
exhilarates the skin and causes tinge
Of color to come to the surface of the
pale cheeks.
Many women are troubled with oily
skins, and for this nothing is better than
alcohol and the purest rose water. If
the skin is inclined to be dry do not use
the alcohol often, but once day ought
not to hurt the most delicate skin. FIRE.
quent face washing is bad for the COM
plexion, so when you begin to feel
sticky around the chin and your nose
grows shiny, take a fine flannel cloth
wot with alcohol and rub your face with
this, afterwards using dry flannel or
chamois skin to dry it. This will re-
move all dirt and suffuse the face with
a delicate color. If the face seems rough
TO the touch and lacking in velvety
softness little alcohol gently rubbed
in with the fingers will have a good
effect. When used daily it is sure to dc
away with blackheads, which so often
disfignre an otherwise pretty nose.
Rose.scented alcohol is one of the things
which every woman should have on
her dressing table and in her travelling
bag.

The Saratoga correspondent of the
New York Commercial .Adgertissr saws /:
senator Anthony Higgins of Delaware
has been here. Like most Delawareans
the Senator has sporting blood in his
veins. lie also has Scotch.Iri blood
and his Scotch-lrish rather predomi-
mates. He has too much thrift to allow
himself to be the victim of bookmakers.
Still, he is very fond of the races and
attends every day. He had unique
way of betting, and was his own book
maker. He picked out his horse in every
race and bet whatever he thought he
could afford, but the bet was laid with
himself. lie carried two rolls of bills in
each of his trousers pockets. He bet
from the roll of his right hand pocket
against the roll in the other pocket,
which represented the book. If the horse
which he had bet upon lost he simply
increased the size of the roll in the left
hand pocket, and vice versa He was
about $500 winner against his book He
said he can get up just as much interest
and have as much fun on race in this
way as if he were to bet direct with
some of the bookmakers."
