Good Old Fashioned Revival Services at
the Big Camp-5, 900 People There.
CHESTER HEIGHTS, Pa, July 31.-Fully
5000 people were present at the camp
yesterday. The revival services were
of the good, old fashioned Methodistic type
and great enthusi asm prevailed.
Rev. Boswell, the camp meeting
director, said that Delaware county has
the most daring and fearless politicians
on earth and he expressed the senti-
ment that If the affairs of the church
were pushed with the same vigor by the
same men they could move the world.
Rev. DR.. William Swindells, of Kensing-
ton M. E. Church, was the preacher in
the morning. He preached about the
glory of God, and wound up his sermon
with peroration and that made the ex-
citable Methodists get up to the shout
ing point. Mrs. j. G. Wilson sang at the
morning services as a solo "The Old Old
Story, and then the choir and congrega-
tion followed with the song, "There you
will sing Hallelujah."
Leader Boswell said the camp-meetlng
association needed $3.50 more to meet
expenses. He offered a prayer that God
would give them that amount. He sent
half dozen solicitors into the audience
beforehand, and the amount and more
was raised in a short time.
Rev. w. d. Jones, of Philadelphia, filled
the pulpit in the afternoon.
1t was expected that Rev DR.. Grand
ison, the colored preacher of Wilmington,
would be here, but he failed to come.
Rev. j. g. Wilson, of Pittman NJ E.
Church, Philadelphia, preached to a large
congregation from the text what shall
do then with Jesus, whish is called
Christ"
Judge Clayton and Collector Cooper
were in the congregation when Preacher
Boswell made his little speech about
Delaware county's politicians.

HOPE FOR THE FARMER
Wheat Has Reached Bottom
Notch and Will Soon Raise.
GERMANY TOORDBRF FROM AMERICA

Stringent Tariff Laws Between Russia
and Germany VIII Make the Latter
Appeal to America for Her Supply of
Breadstufs- Better Opportunity
Could BE wished-OId Hutch Says
Wheat VIII Now Go Up.
BERLIN, July 31.-Russia's tariff dis
examinations against Germany have been
responded TO by Germany in drastic
form. The belief hel is that the
friendly feeling consequent ON the
Czarewitch's two recent visits in Rim
will not be altered by the dispute as to
customs taxes.
Germany relies on the United States as
a natural ally during the virtual sus-
pension of her trade with Ru sia and is
expecting large shipments of grain from
American ports. For several months
the imports from Rus ia have been de-
creasing. Now a new and temporarily
uncontested market is opened to Ameri-
can breadstuffs.
America Couldn't Ask a Better Oppor-
tunity.
The general opinion is that America
could not ask for a better opportunity to
market agricultural products. Once Sc
cured, this market could be held,
Germs traders say, even gafter tie
settlement of the dispute with Russia.
In st. Petersburg, where the competi.
tion of American breadstuffs is stock
topic of newspaper discussion. the
authorities apparently realize the threat
ening danger. They are reported to be
considering the adoption of more heroic
measures.
The plan of the Gar and his ministers
will be probably to make the tariff wal
so sharp that Germany will be ready soo1
to come TO an understanding. This
policy, if adopted, is likely to be carried
too far and to upset all present calcula-
tions as to the continued friendliness
despite the Bismarckian theory that the
political and economic relations of RussiS
and Germany are interdependent.
Although such action on Russia's part
has not been contemplated here, there /:
no doubt that the Federal Council in It's
present temper would answer retaliation
with retaliation, and, in view of Ger
many's base of supplies in America, out
bid every measure that Russia might
adopt
Indian Corn Already Ordered.
The German Government already hai
ordered that Indian corn be used in th'
army for feeding horses. Experiment.
made in the cavalry with the grounS
corn have led the officers to believe tina
more nourishment is given by feeding
the meal than by feeding the grain.

Fine Sport for the Enthusiastic Dis.
ciples of Izaak Walton.

Rehoboth bay offers many attractions
in striped bass fishing, to those who are
fond of the sport aud do not fear
mosquitoes. The fish are not so large AS
those taken further north, but they are
big enough TO afford fine fishing to the
rod fisherman. They range in weight
from three TO ten pounds.
At the lower end of the bay there Is
very good perch fishing. The fish bite
freely and are Of extraordinary size. In
this small bay there are other bait-tak-
ing FISH, but the striped bass aud perch
ara most plentiful. A great many peo-
Pile are apt to think that salt water
fishing can be found only along the sea
coast. But there are many points in the
Delaware bay where weak6sh are most
plentiful. Some Of these points are
Slaughter's Beach and Ship John Light.
The Breakwater affords splene d
sheepshead fishing and weakhsh are
plentiful Cape May goodies are so
abundant that they have been taken
with nets by market fishermen.
