DELAWARE PEACH GROWERS Pro. |
TESLA committee of the Peach |
| Growers Association of Delaware, last |
Tuesday week appeared before the |
Board of Health in reference to Peach |
YellOws, which they allege is injurious |
to the health of the people, and they |
asked that the fruits admission for |
sale in that city be prohibited John |
j. Rosa, the chairman of the commit
tee, said that he represented but one
| township, which will ship at least 25O,-
600 baskets of peaches this summer !
! He says the yellOws come from dis
eased trees, and the fruit ripens from
one to six weeks ahead of the regular
season. The fruit is large and bright
in color and looks WELL but is unfit to
eat There is not a fruit grower in
! Delaware who would eat two of these
peaches, but they will send them to
market. On motion of DR.. Keyser the |
matter was referred to the sanitary
committee for action.

THE PRESIDENTS VIsIT.- Thepres-
ence of President Cleveland and Sec
retary of State Gresham in Wilmington
on Saturday night and Sunday was
very naturally and very properly the
subject of much interest to the people
| generally. The object of the visit was
purely personal, and it was the inten-
tiOn of the President to have a day of
rest away from the Capitol. That he
succeeded is evident from the fact that
his wishes, and the wishes of his host,
Mr.. Thomas F. Bayard, were carried
out, there being no intrusion upon his
| privacy. For the first time since the
days of Grant, no President of the
! United States has been sheltered over
night by the roof of a Wilmington
! home. This fact makes the event his
I boe 1, L
| ed for many years. It was an event
which has filled many of the people of
the State with feeling of pride and
! pleasure, altogether excusable under
the circumstance.
TROUBLE IN THE DOVER CHURCH.
! There is an interesting church war in
the Protestant Episcopal Church of
Dover, which threatens to greatly de-
plete the attendance of the parish.
The trouble arose last fall, when a
dance was given at the Richardson
house. Mrs. Richardson converted the
brilliant room into a cafe, and enlisted
the services of the women of Christ
Church, to assist in running it The
receipts for this department were for
the benefit of the church. Merry dan
GERS patrOnized the cafe and a neat sum
was realized. when the money was Of
fered it was rejected by the rector, but
the church officials agreed to accept
Mrs. Richardson's prOfered aid. The
controversy became so bitter that DR..
FL. Ridgley, Edward Ridgley and ex-
Senator A. B. Richardson have tend
cred their designations as vestrymen.
A new body has been elected and the
fight is now hotter than ever. Many
more of the members are talking OF
leaving the church. Daily Republican.
A DELAWARE DIGEsT.-The digest,
of whi ch the purchase of 600 copies is
contemplated in the House Joint reso-
luton adopted Thursday, is something
new in Delaware Law Literature,
: though familiar to other states. In fact
it is stated that every state in the
Union with the single exception of
Delaware, has its digest. The Della
! ware digest has been prepared by
Henry Ridgely, Jr., who says the mat
ter was suggested TO him several years
, ago by the late Chief Justice Robinson.
! IL is not a revised code ner report of
law cases, but to some extent an epit-
, ome of both. 1t may perhaps best be
described as a codification of the Judge.

! an amplifisd index to the law re-

avervthing in them. The result is a
