The position that the get-rich-quick
concern, TOnti. is now where anybody
with half an eye could long ago have
predicted accurately. If by the payment
of 1916 at stated intervals, extending
over period of seven years, one can
realize . thousand dollars with n Ger.
tainty, all the savings banks and build
ing associations would go out of exist
snce. There would be no use for them.
1t takes the best building association
in this or any other State over eleven
years to mature its stock and expenses
attending such amount to but little
over $500 per year. Tonti has. been
paying salaries of $1,000 and $500,
with some Of smaller amounts for
subordinate positions, and il has no
better way of investing money than
have the building associations. Ifevery
cent is honestly accounted for, and not
q dolla. spent in salaries, nor in ex-
penses Of any kind, no organization can
accomplish what TOnti or similar
orders, with a great flourish of trum-
pets, started out TO do A building as
sociation that natures its stock in
eleven years, a stockholder would have
to pay in $500 before he got his 81 600.
TO expect that Tonti would give that
Amount in seven years, with only 1916
paid in, is to expect the improbable il
not the impossible. There is no royal
road TO fortune.

DISPATCHES from Brazil Indicate
that the revolution there is very far
from being suppressed. President
Peixoto has prolonged the state ofseige
to June 80 because their still exists in
some of the Southern States and else
where in the Republic "sOme support
OF the revolutionary movement" A
despatch from Rio Grande de Sui states
that General Saraive, with 1000 insur-
gent troops. is nearing the Brazilian
Government forces, and advices from
Rio de JaneirO say that the Govern
ment forces have been defeated, pro-
bably by this force under Gen. Saraiva.
The warfare is desultory, but Peixoto
seems to be unable to compose the
Southern provinces, which have been
in revolt for more than year.

The bill to a!mit Utah as State, al
ready passed by the House. has been
favorably reported to the Senate with
some amendments. Whether any new
States shall be admitted at this time by
the Democratic majority of Congress
will depend altogether upon the pro-
bable action of such States in the elec-
tiOn of Senators. The Democrats have
a very small margin of votes in the
Senate, likely to be reduced when the
vacancies are filled. If they could
pick up couple of votes in Utah and
two more in New Mexico it would be
worth while, from party standpoint,
to admit them to the Union, but IL at
way of Strengthening a party's ma
iority is very uncertain.

the same road, at the entrance to J. S.
COchran's residence.
The streams and ponds are badly
swollen, while bridges are, in a con-
dition scarcely safe for travel. The
road beds in a number of places are in
undated to such an extent that persons
residing out of town find it very incon-
venient to reach the market.
The storm did considerable damage
in Cecil county. The mill dam at Har-
Ian & Bros mill, on the Big Elk creek
gave way under the immense volume
of water and flooded the lOwlands,
washing acres of young corn out of the
ground.
Navigation on the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal has been abandoned,
this being necessary in order to open
all the safety gates and prevent the
| breaking of the canal banks. This
| would have proved very disastrous to
life and property in the immediate vi
/ cinity.
Grave fears were entertained for the
safety of the residents in the lowlands
at Chesapeake City Monday night, and
many were ready to move at a mo-
ments notice. Numerous small bridges
were carried away.
The Susquehanna river at Port De-
posit rose 3ft during Monday and the
current was running strong estimated at
from eight to ten miles an hour. The
river is full of driftwood and numerous
logs were carried down by the swift cur
rent. 1t is not thought that any great
local damage was done, as the fisher
men and persons having property
along the river banks were warned in
time, having prepared for the emer
gency.
The storm visiting Port Penn is not
yet over. Rain fell in floods and the
river was lashed into fury, being COY
cred with white caps. The marshes
are all flooded and but one road open
by way of Thorntown. There is every
reason to fear that the banks are agair
injured, but the extent of the damage
cannot yet be ascertained.

Fertilizers buy home? The best good

The above proposed action is in
keeping with the policy pursued to-
wards Hawaii and our dear friend
President Dole. The matter, however,
will be brought before the Senate, and
the country will be enlightened before
they can be thus cheated out of such
an important right as our country pos
sesses in Pago harbor in Samoa.
That station for coaling and general
naval purposes, even in time of peace,
is of value to the United States, and in
time of war its value would be in
creased many fold, provided it were
properly fortified and equipped. If
Gresham succeeds in losing to the
United States this property at Samoa.
he will have added another to the many
acts of incompetency and worse which
as a public officer he already has to his
credit.

DAMAGES WROUGHT BY THE STORM
THE STRAWBERRY CROP-EvILs
OF THE CUT-WORM.

THE STRAWBERRY CROP-EvILs
OF THE CUT-wORM.
The great storm is the theme as we
write to-day. Farmers are grouped to.
gether while looking out upon dark
clouds, pelting rain with a gale of
wind, unto a gloomy future. Only
few days ago the situation was, I'VE
are needing rain;" now they look out
upon fields covered with ponds and
pools of water that bodies evil to their
growing crops. They have passed
through a most remarkable season as
to weather conditions for advancing
work, and now comes storm upon
them, which by its fury, seems bent
upon more than upsetting the good OF
the past. The fact is, the woes of the
average farmer Of to-day are many.
As he relates it, he is confronted by ruin
Ously low prices for his products, with
a gloomy outlook for improvement in
the future, together with the loss and
decadence of peaches, very short
apple and pear crop, blighted heads of
wheat innumerable, and in many in
stances u stubborn fight with an army
of CutwOrms, and many other lesser
evils. But when the dark clouds of
the present storm roll by and old "Sol"
shows his smiling face once more to
the discouraged and grumbling farmers
we predict a brighter outlook will once
more supplant the present period Of
gloom.
Theodore F. johnson. who has con-
tracted with the Cheswold Packing
Company for ten (10) acres each Of
tomatoes and sugar corn, and of the
former forced his plants for the advan.
tages accruing from an early setting,

about one thousand of the twenty-five
thousand which he had put out and it
seems they were not about it.

The strawberry crops are ripening

Summer Excursions to the Geological
Gardens.

The Geological Society of Philadel-
phia, having made preparations for the
summer desire US to call the attention
of those in this vicinity to the arrange
ments made for the season. 1t is a
splendid place to take young children,
and one day spent in the grounds will
be a wonderful source of amusement
and instruction to them. The follow
ing is short description:
The gardens are situated within the
precincts of Paramount Park, on what
was formerly the Penn estate, being
the home of John Penn, the poet.
Beautifully located on the west bank
of the romantic Schuylkill River, in
close proximity to the city of Philadel-
phia, and directly reached by rail.
The large enclosure, under the artistic
eye Of the landscape gardener, is Just
beginning to bloom forth in all the
grandeur of its summer beauty. Note
worthy attractions at these gardens
are manifold. The picturesque sur
rOundings constitute a pleasing pano-
rama of deep-shaded walks, hOwery
dells, luxuriant with beautiful ferns
and flowers, and inland lakes, the
dense foliage swaying gaily in the
cooling breezes as they come from the
placid Schuylkill River.
The grounds have undergone a thor
Ough identifying process, in which
both nature and man have given all
possible aid. Large paviliOns have
been erected, afiording ample shelter
in case of rain. Refreshments can also
be had at very reasonable prices.
Of.
spent from time to time in bringing to-
gether from every part of the world
the largest and most complete collec.
tiOns of fierce lions from Asia and the
almost impenetrable forests of Africa:
Tigers from the jungles of India; rhi-
noceros from Abyssinia; wild boars
from the Hartz mountains of Germany:
grizzly bears from the "Wild Rockies''
of our own country; buffalo from the
endless prairies; Seals from the frozen
north; alligatOrs from the tropical
zone; monkeys innumerable and the
wonderful python from India; the
neet-footed ostrich of the desert: the
wonderful orang-outan, the nearest
representative to the human family in
all his ingenious man0uvers.
Elephants, leopards, ,kangaroos, iagu-
ars. wolves, deer, birds Of every de-
scription and brilliancy OF plumage;
aquatic fowls Of every variety, from
the majestic swan TO the tiniest duck
In addition to these there has Just ar
rived a large collection of animals re-
Gently purchased in Europe, to which
point they were brought by fearless
hunters, who entrapped them after
great dangers in their native wilds.
IL will be the aim to make these
excursions cheap, popular, pleasurable,
and instructive to both children and
adults; they can also be made an item
of financial interest to Sunday-School,
Churches, Societies, Lodges, sc.
Gardens opeu from 8 A. N. until sun
! set.

UNITED STATES Consul Gautler, at

Department of State that a British

with the purpose of securing some of

American merchants now enjoy with
the West Indies.

Notwithstanding the hard times, and in
fact we can with pride say that Ches-
void is quite a centre fer trade. Apart
from the general line of merchandise,
can be found hardware, furniture, mil
linery, clothing, coal, lime, lumber,
agricultural implements, harness, ferti-
lizers or any article common to the
wants of a community.

II is announced on good authority
that the Parliamentary elections in
England will probably take place in
July, and the chances seem to favor
the Conservatives. The Liberals have
been demoralized by the retirement of
Gladstone, but may succeed in getting
popular support by making a reform OF
the House of Lords the main issue, in
stead of Home Rule. The chances,
however, are against any substantial
majority for either party.
