WOMEN AND THEIR WAYS.

Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont is presi-
dent OF new chapter of the Daughters
OF the RevolnLion-that delightful
society which gives SO many charming
women chance to show the public that
they are descended from somebody.
The records Of the public libraries
show that women read more books than
men, and it is becoming generally true
for the country at large, as it already is
for large sections of it, that girls get a
better school education than boys.
What is going to come of il?
Miss Fawcett, the English woman
whose brilliant success as mathe-
maticlan, made q sensation several wears
ago, has begun work as a civil engineer.
No doubt women will soon be building
railroads. But where is one of them
with the genius to water stock 10 a
paying basis?
Besides the woman astronomer. Miss
Clarke, London has woman lawyer
and woman entomologist, Miss Or
monde, whose work on the Colorado
beetle is famous. Missouri, too, has u
woman entOinOiUgist in Miss Murtfeld,
the credit for whose admirable work
goes to some one in the Department of
Agriculture.
The four best-known women's clubs
of the country are the New York
Sorosis, the New England Woman's
Club Of Boston, the Chicago Woman's
Club and the New.Century Club of
Philadelphia Besides these, there arc
hundreds Of others of equal activity, if
less celebrity, and it is Gear that women
are becoming more "clubable" from
year to year.
Mrs. Bayard, wife Of our minister to
England, is greatly enyied because she
has been more than once invited by the
Queen to remain over night at Windsor
Castle, This is democratic country,
Of course, but probably there are several
women in it who would give their i'm.
mortal souls for the privilege Of staying
all night with that highly respectable
old lady, Mrs, Guelph.
The Phillies are in fourth place, but
only by one point

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Report of the Maryland state Weather
Service for the Past Week.

Aot thc 4 hHt "etk.
The report Of the Maryland State
weather service for the past week con
tains the following;
Colora, Cecil County--The week has
been one Of good growing weather, re-
viving the late pastures, freshening up
the corn fields and enabling the farmers
to pillow oats stubble or gather early
potatoes. Some new hay is being baled
and sold. This crop will be more
profitable than grain in this section.
Wheat is being fed to hogs on account
of being cheaper than corn. The main
crop OF tomatoes ON good land will be
late in ripening, but it is now growing
rapidly. GEORGE BALDERsToN.
Chcstertpwn, Kent County-The hot
and dry weather was broken by heavy
rain on Wednesday evening. The
parched fields have been greatly benc.
fitted and grass is beginning to make
new growth. Tomatoes are ripening
well and canneries are running in full
force. Farmers are blowing fallow.
Z. +. STAN.
Denton, Caroline County-A nice
rain on Wednesday night partially
broke the drought, and will help toma-
toes and corn as well as pasture; more
is still needed Corn cannot make a
full crop now under the most favorable
circumstances. The tomato crop will
also be light one; not over half crop.
+. c. RAMspELI.
Fredericksburg, Caroline County-Fine
shower on the 10th did great deal of
good. Pastures have revived, as also
corn and buckwheat. Although a
larger acreage of tomatoes was planted
than usual, the crop will only make a
light yield. Some blowing done for
wheat, Corn beginning to ripen and
fodder saving will begin next week.
Grapes are ripe. Z, +. QuIDoRr.
Greensboro, Caroline County-The
drought broken by three good rams
during the week. They will help late
corn and tomatoes, but are too late for
early corn. Flowing for fallnw is being
done with care. Pastures improved.
A. B. Roe.
Dailsville, Dorchester County-The
weather has been very pleasant, with
some warm days. A good rain would
be Of great benefit to late corn, grass,
potatoes and turnips. Some clover
seed has been saved. The saving of
top and blade fodder will commence
next week. CHAs. s. JACKSON.
Mardela Springs, Wicomico County
The nights up to date have been I'M.
usually cool, and, as result, corn has
not made much progress Fodder saving
has commenced on light forward land
with growth scarcely up to the aver
age. A good rain on the 18th followed
by cool weather. Late potatoes growing
finely. A. +. AcwoRTH.
Milford, Kent and Sussex Counties,
Delaware-All growing crops are look
ing we'll. The corn crop promises to be
very large. Tomatoes are now ripening
and our tomato canneries will be in full
blast the coming week.

Merely Personal Triumph.
Philadelphin kecord, yesterdny.

The nomination by the Delaware
Republicans of Mr.. Joshua Marvil as
their candidate for governor and of the
Rev. Jonathan S. Willis as their candi-
dale for Congressional Representative is
a triumph for United States Senator
Anthony Higgins, of that State. The
Republican party has spoken the piece
that he prepared for it; but the voters of
Delaware are yet to be heard from.
The Senator apparently has tight grip
on the reins Of his own party; but the
indications are that Mr.. Higgins will oe
succeeded in the United States Senate
bya Democrat, and his success at Dover
yesterday means nothing except a per-
sonal triumph in his party over his old
factional enemies.

Constable Day NJ Yesdon, u suburb OF

A warren. was sworn ont for his
arrest and given 10 Constable Remember.
Early this morning he caught Saxson
at Lansdownc and, n; the point Of his
revolver, fairly prsh9d the enraged
negro along the road to Yeadon.
Constable Days residence is directly
across from tho gates OF Holy Cross
cemetery, and, upon reaching that
point, Rementier, still covering the
negro with his pistol, shouted for as
sistance.
Constable Days appearance only
enraged the negro more, and with an
oath he declared he would not go step
further. AT the same time he ripped
ont his dreaded knife. With this he
maui u pdfuSt IuHEG az LAY
him in the neck and making a slight
wound.
Day jumped back, and, drawing his
revolver, shouted Drop your knife or
I'll kill you"
THE NEGROES JAW SHOT OFF.
The negro responded with an oath
and threatened to cut him to pieces and
started in to execute his threat. Day
responded with bullet from his pistol
that struck Saxson in the jaw, fairly
blowing his chin off. The blood gushed
forth and the enraged negro rushed
around the road like flend.
Constables Day and Rementier desir-
ing 10 take the man alive deSisted from
further firing and demanded Of Saxson
that he surrender. Every time they
approached him he would flourish his
knife.
The wounded and desperate man
muddened with pain suddenly started
in and became sggressor. lie made a
savage attack on Day, trying to use his
knife. The two constables did their best
to escape being wounded and disarm
the desperate man. Saxson finally got
free and plunged his knife into Consta-
bic Days back making wound two
inches deep and five inches long.
THE DESPERATE SHOT.
Almost instantly Day fired again, the
bullet passing through Saxsons right
arm. The blood spurted forth, but the
desperate negro minding it not, sprang
forward with his uplifted knife. This
time he was met with . bullet from
Constable Days revolver, which struck
him squarely in the stomach.
The third and last shot proved his
quietus, and in few minutes the
desperate breathed his last. Constable
Days wound Is painful one, although
IT Is not believed it will prove fatal.

That Financial Plank.

That financial plank in the Republic
can State platform may have been in
tended for straddle, but life is too
short to puzzle out its real meaning
il indeed, it has any. Like somebody's
remarkable trap, it seems to have been
''sot to ketch EN- comm and 'goin."
On its face it appears to have been built
to catch the Populist vote, without cut
ting loose irreyocably from the sound
money element. 1t opens with decara-
ton in favor of bimetallism through in
ternational agreement and closes with
an implied recommendation to go it
alone, if the rest of the world should
prove refractory. Sandwiched in the
middle is declaration OF belief shat
ull'prosperity will not be reestablished
until silver is restored to its proper
place as money metal of equal debt
paying power with gold in the currency
of the nations" A more trans
parently foolish and cowardly attempt
TO carry water on both shoulders and
avoid taking any definite stand on this
question we do not recall having ever
met in the whole history of platform
building. Such regeneration may not
be inconsistent with the weak, washy,
everlasting flood of words" of this
" strange platform, but it imputes an
! astounding lack Of both sincerity ard
intelligence to the voters of Delaware,
who, like sensible men everywhere,
prefer to see men who aspire to politi-
cal leadership spouse some definite
policy, instead Of lodging behind in
comprehensive latitudes. Plain people
want a plain, straightforward declara.
ton of principles, that say what they
mean and mean what they say. BE "a
man or mouse or a ring.tailed
monkey" but don't imagine that you
can fool the people on the financial or
any other public question forever.
The Republican party has record
on this silVer-coinage question; record
that its representatives in Congress were
glad OF the opportunity to repudiatc one
year ago, when they united with tile
sound money Democrats in repeating
the silver purchasing clause of the Sher-
man bill. Their leaders admitted then
that their former course was wrong and
had driven the nation to the verge of
financial ruin, ard they took the back
track. One would naturally look for
some recognition of this important
service to the country, rendered last
year, in the utterances of the first
State convention to assemble there
after but this platform is not only
characterized by studious avoid
ance OF such recognition but, so far
as it is comprehensive, implicitly CON
dennis those Republicans who voted for
the repeal Of the Sherman act. 1t
demands that silver be "restored to its
proper place as money metal Of equal
debt-paying power with gold" and
urges such a policy upon the part of
the United States as will finally bring
about this most desired end;Sas though
two things could be made and kept
equal to the same thing, which are not
equal TO each othcr-w whether BY national
dlctam or International agreement
finally" or at any other time.
This financial plank will, however,
serve one important end-as a "horriblc
example" 10 the Democrats what to
avoid in the construction Of their plat,
form next week.

denies emphatically that Miss Florence
Pullman was engaged to the prince, and
pronounced the story absolute nonsence.
Miss Pullman was in Europe but the
relative would sHy nothing concerning
her and Prince lscnberg Birstein, except
to deny the alleged hetrothal.

The Trenton potters, as an exchange
shows, arc continually being ruined by
the tariff When the Mckinley bill
raised their protection they straightway
went home and reduced wages " per
cent Last year they found themselves
ruined again and made another cut Of
80 per cent in wages. Then came a
strike and the potterics remained idle
until they had worked Off theirarcumu-
lated stock al monopoly prices. Last
July they resumed on a compromise re-
ducti1n Of l25 per cent, in lieu Of the
80 at first announced, signing an agree.
mcnt with their wOrkmen that this wage
rate should continue in effect for twelve
months, until July, 1885. Now they
are complaining that this agreement was
prelicatcd on an understanding with
senator Smith--or the German combine
-that the protection" on pottery was
was 10 be showed up 30 per cent. Since
Smith failed to accomplish this, the pot.
tiers are ruined again and wages must
come down another u! per cent, agree
ment Or no agreement l5utas this makes
the total reduction less than the 30 per
cent announced last ycRr, they do moi
seem 70 be 80 completely ruined as they
we're UWder the Mckinley schedule,
after all.

The new Tariff bill puts pig tin back
on the free list and reduces the protac.
ton on tin plate one cent pound. To
the CONSERVATION Of the Mckinleyites
the reduction has already given a great
impetus to the black plate aud Tin plate
works about Pittsyurg. The industry
which had so languished under the cod
ding Of the Mckinley tax is waking up
and there is considerable eagerness
displayed to invest money in this direc.
ton There is talk Of putting up two
new factories 70 cost about 100000
each in that locality, and other new
black and tin plate works are projected.
As to pig tin, it is generally admitted
now that the duty of four cents pound
on that product was levied for the pro-
lection Of mines that have been demon.
strated worthless, or nearly SO, and that
were doomed 10 the sorrow of British
capitalists who have sunk millions Of
dollars with little but holes in the
ground to show for the investment.
