THERE is nothing that makes the Wri-
ter quite so furious as to have every
dreadful happening IN life credited to
woman's extravaganza. Ever since that
memorable repast partaken Of under the
apple tree in the Garden of Eden, woman
has been blamed for everything that has
gone wrong. If man fails in business,
it is on account OF the extravagances of
his wife; if man goes wrong, it is al
ways because a woman led him; If the
bank cashier absconds. as a matter of
course, it is because his wife made de-
mands upon his purse that he was unable
to meet honestly And so it goes, through
the whole vocabulary of mans wrong
doiugs making woman the direct or I'M
direct cause of all his downfalls. Granted.
for the sake of argument, that women are
extravagant who makes them extrava-
CANT? Who inspires aud encourages her
luxurious tastes and propensities? Who
demands that she not only be lovely aud
beautiful by nature, both in face and
form, but insists that she be improved
by all the devices that are invented for
her personal adornment No Que under
the shining sun hut mau. Of course. A
wife spends her husbands money but
he at least has the satisfaction OF know
ing and seeing where it goes, while he, on
the other hand, spends many times the
same amount, and no traces of comfort,
luxury or pleasure are visible in his own
home to represent the amount he has
disbursed. True, among many women
there is spirit of rivalry in the matter
of dress. and often she will indulge in
fancies that can be ill-aforded; but the
women are few who cannot be reasoned
into economy by the husband who adapts
his owndesires and spending proclivities
to the capacity of his purse. Let man,
who pretends TO be the stronger, and
wishes to be looked up to set the exam
pie of personal retreuchnient, and he will
soon see the good fruits of his commend
able departure Every woman should
study to make the best of herself with the
means at her command, au attention to
dress being useful in retaining even in the
minds Of the most sensible and practical
men that pride in a wife's appearance
which is so pleasing and agreeable to her.
It is proverbially true thatth man whose
wife pays little or no attention to the
matter of dress. is always secretly or openly
admiring the woman who is well dressed
and makes the most Of her opportunities
to appear pleasing and attractive. OF
course, love Of dress has its perils aud
must be controlled by good sense with
fair stimulation Of personal vanity. And
when indulged IN to the detrimeut and
exclusion Of other duties and beyond the
compass of ones means,i it cannot be too
severely condemned.

A group Of Young women sat around
dainty tea table discussing dress ard
their waters almost IN the same breath
Il am only beginning to take an interest
in my gowns, 4" said a sun Drowned maid
who had Just returned from a summer
resort where there were twenty six girls

That's all very true" argued number
one. but the influence that men exer-

~ the will OF another actuated by self :

ON Saturday afternoon and evening
last two "Single Takers" held forth as
usual in Milford In the afternoon thew
talked in the big road" at the junction
of Front and Walnut streets, South, and
in the evening they held forth at the cor
ner of the First National Bank, North
Milford. a number of people listened TO
their arguments for time and went on
their way thinking what fools we NOR
tails be, " while others, out Of curiosity,
took tn, ir places as listeners. On Sun
day these two misguided youths passed
the afternoon in the attempt to prove to
few that the Bible gave lis approval of
their ideas. The Single Tax crusade IS
becoming a nuisance in this State, and
particularly so il this town. The con-
Verts made here are so few as not to be
and those who are so suscept-
ible TO argument as to be won by their
assertions aud false claims are only won
for a season and are not liable to stick to
anything much less TO a thing so falla-
cious and foolish and ridiculous as the
Single Tax idea We have given much
Of our space at different times TO their ar
guments but We have given our last We
now give notice that no 'uore of their
letters shall have room in our columns
aud we will not return manuscript sent

PEACHES are gone. The season is over
aud growers are happy with a fat bank
account as a result Of peaches. Sussex
county has had the best year for a gen
Grafton The bulk of the peach crop has
been harvested at Milford Lincoln, Ellen
dale and Georgetown. Fully one hun
dred thousand dollars has been paid out
at this station and half this amount prob
ably at each of the other three stations
mentioned above. Three BUYERS at this
station, we know, have paid OUT eighty
thousand dollars alone, and twenty thous-
and dollars would be low estimate to put
down as the amount speut for peaches
by all others The average price paid,
for white and yellow, culls and primes,
will probably reach about forty five cents
This average was made low by the large
crop of Mountain Rose, which were small
in size. and BY the poor condition and
quality of Smocks Taking these two
varieties out of the estimate aud the av-
erage price would probably be about sixty
cents a basket through for the crop. The
season Just past has been the most sue
cessful one Delaware growers ever had,
and they are correspondence happy It
is believed here that the crop will in fu-
ture be bought every year. Growers are
inclined to sell, and as long as they do
this TO the highest bidder their crop will
always be taken at fair price, but if they
ship one day and sell the next they will
drive buyers away, and then they would
have to ship even though they got actu-
ally nothing for their peaches, We trust
the growers will not forget the season just
passed, and if they remember it they will
/ n future wears sell at This depot even If
the prices at first offered should seem a
little below their actual value We be-
lieve there will always in future be a mar
ket right here at home for all the peaches
Delaware produces.

cellorship Of this State for the purpose OF
becoming counsel III Delaware Tor the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which
position was recently vacated By Hon,
George V. Massey. The rumors cannot
be verified Among the lawyers the
runor is generally credited, for the rea-
sou that the new position would give the
chancellor a greater chance to boom his
senatorial aspirations and at the same
time pay him more money than the chan
cellorship. He has row had the ONCE
and the honor of having been the high
est iudicial officer in the state. He
would also have Ike distinction oil being
