Kansas City has private corpo-
ration which charges the city SIS
cents per light for each night Of
electric lighting. St. Joe owns her
electric light, and'operates at cost
of IA cents, a saving of Al cents
per light. The logic Of comparison
is driving us irresistably toward
public ownership.
How strange it is that the whole
thought of the present administra-
ton seems to be centered upon our
foreign trade. Does it ever stop to
consider that our foreign trade is a
mere nothing as compared to our
domestic trade, and that without a
sill Gle "smack load of foreign trade
we would still thrive and grow,

Investigated by federal officials.

Harding, Mrs. Ruth F. Durgan, OF

Dear Sister: Won't it pay to pre-
vent Mrs. Lease from appearing in
the proposed lecture course Is
she not the very best argument the
anti suff'ragist, Democrat or Repub-

To BE Buried Alive.

The mind reader, A. J. Seymour, is
generally known in Illinois, and his pro-
posed attempt to lie buried and remain
in the ground while crop of barley is
grown on his grave creates interest
throughout the state. DIR. E. G. Dunn
of Rockford has been selected by Sey-
mour as manager. DR.. Dunn says:
There is no question that this feat
can be performed. l have seen it per-
formed successfully three times in India,
at Allahabad, Delhi and Benares.n
For several days Seymour will be fed
upon a diet of fat and heat producing
food. He will then throw himself into a
cataleptic state, the lungs will be filled
with pure air to their fullest capacity
and the tongue PLACED back and partially
down the throat in such a manner as to
completely close the aperture to the
lungs. The nose, eyes and ears will be
Theoretically sealed with wax.
After paraffine has been spread over
the entire body to close the pores it will
be ready for burial The body will be
put into an extra large casket. This
will be placed inside another, and both

poisonous gases exude from the body
they may make their escape and be ab-
sorbed by the soil The interment is to
be made in a clay soil.

An Old Carpe5 Worth So, 800.

The longer a carpet is used in the
coiners' department at the United States
mint the more it IS worth. Wear and
tear do not diminish its value. Yester-
day thick wooden carpet that has been
on the coiners' floor for seven years was
taken up and carefully cremated. The
precious ashes Were scrupulously gath
cred together, as if they We're the relics
of some departed saint, and by an elab-
crate refining process the government
recovered 2I9 ounces of gold, worth over
s, 800. The metal had been deposited
there by the infnitesimal abrasions and
disintegrations Of tie yellow metal while
being converted from bullion into coin.
Even the heavy Z owes of the men who
handle bullion are incinerated and the
gold is brought back to Uncle Sans cof-
fers. Even the smoke from the furnaces
used for melting tie metal is made to
redeiiver the treasure with which it is
trying to escape, and from the SCOT in

yellow stuff are secured. San Francisco

The Energetic Camera Fiend.

For several days an enterprising pho

camera so arranged in tent at the main
crossing into the Cherokee Strip that he
can take negative of everybody pass
ing without his knowledge. As the
department holds that every person who
now goes upon the strip is a sooner" and
loses his right to take land there. these
negatives will become very valuable evil
dence against those going in now TO hunt
out good claims, and the owner of them
can command a good price from each
subject to have his negative destroyed,

it did both. l have used three fifty cent
bottles and believe it to be the finest thing
for rheumatism, pains and swelling extant.

The bot weather of the past week has
been against the strawberry growers
of this section, .urFying so many ber.
ries into the market while the temper.
ture was against carrying well, max.
ing bad break in the city markets at
the beginning of the season, selling
from to cents per quart. Tbev
dropped in our local market on FRIDAY
to and cents per quart fine large
berries. 240 car loads went over the
Delaware road on Monday. The
Morning NelQs of Saturday said
The shipment of strawberries over
the Delaware railroad has assumed nm.
usual proportions this season. Shin.
l9ents began about May 22d and since
sshe9 haye averaged seventy. FIVE car
loads a day.
The popularity Of the crop of straw.
berries this year is the simultaneous
rlPening of the berries all over the
Peninsula. Usually the berries along
the line Of the New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk railroad ripen first and
are followed by those north of Delmar.

TO eight cars every day,
Smyrna times., 1893-06-07

NOTES from time to time in reference
to the strawberry crop have been given
in these columns. A noticeable feature
of these has been the large operations
of some growers, particularly in the
lower part of the Peninsula, fields of
the ordinary dimensions of wheat and
corn. A grower talking about this
fact the other day says these big acre
ages is what likes the business" with
them and the little growers in the way
of small returns. 1t is business that
cannot be mOnopolised by a few.
The idea of this grower is that if there
was not an inordinate greed on the
part of the large land holders-that if
all would keep to small patches of sew
eral acres, the small operators would
have a chance, while the larger ones
would be as well off in the end. But,
will they do it?
