The expectation of California fruit
to Europe has not realized the ex-
pectation of growers and exporters.
A leading New York fruit exporter
sent nearly 800 tons Of California
peaches, pears and plums to London
this season, but they arrived in an un-
saleable condition and could not COM
pete with the great crops small fruits
on the other side.

LATE reports of the Yalu engage
ment confirm the belief that it was
substantial victory for the japanese.
The latter appear to have crippled the
Chinese Navy, annihilated the best
equipped army Of China, and to be
already on the march for an invasion
of Manchuria, opposed only by un-
disciplined troops armed with ancient
weapons of war. The contrast between
the two nations, one of which accepted
and the other rejected Western civiIi-
cation generation ago, is even greater
than was expected.

THE Ohio Bankers Association, in
session at Cleveland, has adopted
memorial to the Legislature asking
that body to abolish the law permit
ing three "days of grace" on notes and
drafts. A similar movement is in pro-
gress in banking circles in several
States, but the most of note holders
would prefer an addition of three days
to total abolishment.

MRS. MARY LEASE, of Kansas, the
populist speaker, is fighting mad be-
cause she was refused mileage in a
case in which she was a witness some
months ago. The clerk of the court,
says the Minneapolis Tribune, "denied
her claim for mileage because she rode
on pass. Mrs. l.. confesses that she
rode on pass, but afirms that Cover
nor Lewelling and another populist
politician in the same case also rode on
passes and were paid mileage, and she
does not propose to be Disseminated
against because she is a woman."

HORSE back riding is a diversion for
a few of the young ladies, of our town,
and East street is the scene of their
riding school. A natural timidity, at
this early date, prevents the spectators
from seeing any noticeable feats of
equestrian movements, for the horses
are gently lead in a slow walk by one
of the young ladies while the other
derives an experience unequaled for
its invigorating exercise. They are
hoping to be able to let their horses
canter in a short while.

JOHN R. WILSON planted Russian
Sun Flower seed this year as an ex-
pertinent in the peach rows (where the
trees had been cut down, off of about
an acre)ive rows, the ground between
being planted in corn, and thinks he
will have thirty or forty bushels. The
seed cost at the rate of SCOOP bushel
from the seedmen, and the latter will
buy the product at say Shopper bushel.
Some of the flowers were ten and
twelve inches across their face, and
will shell a quart of seed. Mr.. Wilson
thinks he can easily grow 100 bushels
on an acre.

THE setting off of Union Church on
Appoquinimink circuit last spring to
Townsend, leaving that circuit with
only Friendship and its new ally,
Smyrna Landing, is likely to cause
another and more important change at
the next Conference. Friendship
church, in Thoroughfore Neck; was for
nearly century an important appoint
ment of Smyrna circuit, and the
indications are for a reconstruction of
things that will bring it back to its
original place. Smyrna circuit has
been weakened by the setting off of
Clayton and Cheswold as stations.
The plan contemplated, and it seems
to be entirely feasible, is to unite the
two circuits above Damed-Bethel,
SeyersOn's and Jerman chapel (of this
town of the one, and Friendship and
Smyrna Landing of the other--fiVe ap-
pointments in all. The plan cOntem.
plated includes two preachers-One tO
occupy the parsonage, the other a
single man.

THE heavy rain of last Wednesday
seemed to be about the finishing stroke
to the tomato crop. They had already
been deteriorated by the weather, and
those ripening since seemed, the most
of them to be saturated with water.
In fact they had been largely imperfect
for week or more, causing the can
neries to dock them smartly. The
vines in most patches have for two or
three weeks been largely denuded oi
their leaves, and even in the few
patches where the vines remained
green, the fruit is very imperfect. The
amount to come in this week is small
and probably finish the canning Oper-
ations- some two weeks or more
sooner than usual. Some of the far.
mers find their yield hardly half il
was last year.

A number of young men or lads be-
tween ten and twelve o'clock Sunday
night behaved in a way that if not
riotous was annoying to the vicinity of
the -four corners" The object of their
amusement or diversion was 10 throw
stones or bats to fall on the CRATE of
the new "manhole" ofthe sewage main.
These were sometimes thrown to the
danger of the windows and property
along the street. They were proper
objects of the police, but seem not to
have been disturbed. There seems to
be a considerable class of young people
who set themselves against all refrain
ing influences intended for their good,
whether coming from the municipality
the church or the refining influence OF
the home.

for fertilizing purposes. In fact those

THE low price of wheat had the
tendency in the summer to dampen
very much the spirit of the phosphate
manufacturers lit looked as if there
would be a limited demand for the
article. They accordingly did not set
their mark so high for Fall sales. But

appointment. The steamer Ella has
been bringing considerable additional
cOnsignments of material for w. g.
Pierce, L. NJ. Price, Lewis & Co., and

THE Bohemian Village" at Smyrna
Landing is proving quite a curious
sight TO our citizens. Their primitive
mode of living and the number of fam
lilies that live iD the old grainery is
something wonderful to those who
have never seen such a sight. Quite a
number have left recently owing to
sickness from chils and fever, caused
probably by the cool nights of fall,
which seems to be too much for their
primitive habitation. They will break
up camp in a week or so, as soon as
Counselman & Co.'S factory shuts down.

pie and can accomplish, says Mr..

midst OF the unusual heat and the
absence of teachers from various causes,
the Methodist school of this town like

have the school return to its former
punctual attendance. To this end a

interest has been aroused here over the
check for $1,000, 90 which Claus Spreck-
els, the sugar king drew on tho Nevada
bank. The check was made payable to

that possibly Sprcckels had transferred his
account from one bank to the other.

that he sill had n large deposit at the Ne

deposit was Spreckels said no thought he
could draw several checks without ex-
hausting his account.
