WE DEvOUR MANY LEMONS.
California Is BrisIsly Competing with the
Foreign Importation.


Foreign Importation.
This country consumes In year
about s0OOO0,O0O lemons, or about 6h
lemons for each man, woman and child.
This is going to be good lemon year.
Since the new fruit commenced TO ar
rive about the LIST of October very near
ly 100000 more boxes have been re.
ceived than came in during the same
time last season. The receipts at New
York for November, 1895, were 177.306
boxes, against 110,s50 boxes for Novem'
Der, 1894. The November receipts at
New Orleans were 1880 boxes, against
none received at that port for Novem-
Der, 1894. Last year, between Deccm
Der and Christmas time, $4,000 boxes
were landed here and Immediately sold.
Before Christmas probably not more
than 10000 boxes are due here, for the
reason that two vessels containing al
together from $4,000 to 10000 boxes
have been wrecked off Gibraltar.
The crops are very plentiful along
the Mediterranean. but because so
many oranges are being carried from
that region these months owing to tho
deficiency in the Florida crop there is
little room for lemons on board these
ships. The California lemon crop also
Is larger than ever before, and sup
plies will be forwarded from there. The
California lemons are exec edingly good
ones, and only experts san tell them
from the Mediterranean crop.
For culinary purposes the lemons
from Sicily--that is, those from Mes
sina and Palermo--are to be preferred,
rs they have n much better flavor.
Other excellent lemons come from Mai
orr and Rodi, in the hill regions sur
rounding Naples. CatanIa and Malaga
lemons are yet another variety, and
come in the early fall, Just after the
southern Italy and Sicilian crops have
been finished up.
A box of lemons averages about 300
each. From 100000 to 10000 boxes
are sold in year mere. 1t is predicted
that the California crop in three years
will average 100000 boxes. 1t will
be interesting to note whether they
will drive out any or all Of the foreign
lemons. Prices are now little lower
than usual. In September seven dol.
lars was obtained at wholesale per box,
the highest price in years.-N. Y

Steam Power and F1en Power.

At the great works of Herr Krupp in
Essen is to be seen hammer weigh
ing 80 tons, and this in turn is placed
on an anvil block weighing 100 tons
A Swiss, calling himself Prof. Schu-
mann, who has devoted much of his
life to training feas a, Berne, in
Switzerland, recently visited Essen and
looked upon the mighty hammer. On
his return to Berne he began model
of the great hammer, but on such a
tiny scale that it could be worked by
flea power instead of the mighty en-.
CINE which operates the one in Essen.
In it's completed state this marvellous
miniature steam hammer, pulley, an
vii, block and ali, weighs bat half a
grain. The hamL,er and anvil are of
solid gold, the puileys German silver
and the framework of platinum. a
flea trained by Mr.. Schumann will, at
the word of command, hoist the ham,
mer to the top of the frame. There II
is automatically set free, descending
in precisely the same manner as the
monster after which it is modelled.

Mrs. ID. II. Kirby, Of the Procopeia
club, is deeply interested in the work
of the church OF the higher Life. This
club is newcomer among the trans
cendcntal cults of which Boston seems
to be the center, and Mrs. Kirby is q
woman venerated for the occult quail
ties which those who dabble in the
mysterious believe her to possess. The
name of the club, when first sprang on
the public, precipitated a sudden rush
for dictionaries and leXicons. 1t is
Greek. 1t means advancement or prog
ress, especially in things obscure. Any
thing just yard or two beyond the
frontier of natural knowledge finds its
yotaries in Boston. Helen Van Amber
son has been lecturing in Boston for the
past two years. Her themes were spir-
itualistic, but she was careful not to
ovcrstep the line of demarcation be-
tween the orthodox and heterodoX.
This righteousness saved her from the
fate of many who fail throug', the enc
mics they make. She is an entertain

DAVID MURPHY DEAD.
He Was the Man Who Created a
Scene in Superior Court
Several Weeks Ago.

David J. Murphey Of Newark died on Sat-
Murphey, No. 1923 Bowler street, Phila-
delphia, aged rs years. His body was
brought here and Inferred in White Clay
Creek Cemetery this afternoon after SER
vice at the residence Of the Rev. II. L..
Mason. pastor Of the Newark Presbyterian
Church. of which Mr. Murphey had been a
member for years. He lived at Newark
twenty-five years, was prosperous and in
tiuential. He was married twice and by
his first wife was the father of the late
David J. Murphey. Jr., former member
of the New Castle County Bar, and OF
Henry G. Murphey. He had no children by
his second wife. who survives him. He was
at one time member Of the State Legisla-
ture and trustee Of Delaware College.
While MIR. Murphy was well known he
had not so many acquaintances in Will
mington. He will probably be best remem-
bered here because OF the dramatic and
pathetic role he appeared in before the
Superior Court on November 90 He was
the man who declored his wife had de-
serted him in his old age, leaving him to
and milking. These remarks were as an
Introductory plea to an application for a
new order Of the court in divorce pro-
ceedlng from his wife. He had been IN
court for years seeking a divorce and
pending a hearing alimony had been fixed,
it will be remembered. But Mr.. Murphy
had not compiled with the courts order
and tho court refused to issue another Or
der, Then it was that Mr.. Murphy accused
William s. Prtchett and William c. Spru-
ance. who had been his counsel, Of misap-
plying $500 which he had turned over to
them as basis Of settlement OF the case.
This tho counsel denied and explained
that the money had been paid Mrs. Mrr-
ply az her share Of the proceeds Of the
sale Of a property at Newark. His earthly
condition caused him to pray to his Heav-
emily Father, who answered his prayer to
the extent Of sending a purchaser to buy
some of his property. This incident In Mr.
Murpheys career will long be remembered
