Reduced Rates to the Delaware State
Fair at Dover.

The Nineteenth Annual Delaware
State Fair, to be held at Fairview Park,
Dover, September 81 to 26, promises
to be one of great interest.
The inducement offered this year to
successful competitors will be greatly
in the increase of those of previous
years, and the many special premiums
to be given out will act as a strong
card towards securing a great number
OF exhibitors to the far. The grand
display of cereals and live stock will
be most interesting and instructive to
the visitor.
Racing, as usual, will be a striking
and drawing feature of the occasion.
This part of the programme has been
much improved blythe addition of new
blood.
In all, the fair this year will be ex-
ceedingly interesting, and the attend
ance will undoubtedly be larger than
ever before.
As q further indueement towards
making the affair a grand success, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company (Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad) will sell excursion tickets,
including admission to the grounds,
from principal stations on the Mary
land Division and from all points on
the Delaware Division and Branches,

NURSERY Plant Law.

The last General Assembly of Mary
land passed an act known as the "Tree
and Nursery Stock" law. Under this
act has been appointed State entomO-
lOgist, whose duty it is to inspect all
nursies in the state, with a view of de-
tecting any injurious insect or plant
disease that may exist and might be
dissembled by the distribution Of
nursery stock, If any disease or in
sect be discovered the owner is noti-
fed and the proper remedies for its
destruction are suggested. If the
owner does not take such steps in the
time specified for the suppression Of
the pest, he lays himself liable to a
fine Of 81 for every tree, shrub or vine
so affected when shipped from his nur-
sery. The entomologist can enter the
premises in such a case, employ such
assistants as he needs and apply the
proper remedies at the expence of the
owner.

The LOvable Pumpkin.

As free coinage is now recommended
as the panacea for all the farmers ills,
the Rajlcay Agc suggests, for his es
pecial benefit, the free coinage of
pumpkins. 1t says;
'With pumpkin currency no man
need, when hungry, take the trouble
to stop and buy food. He would eat
his money. And on esthetic grounds
what fair expanse the good round
belly Of pumpkin offers for minting!
How legibly it could be branded
"This is one dollar. In God we
trust. The captious may argue that
the coinage of pumpkins would so in
crease the cost of pumkin pie as to put
it beyond the reach of the masses and
convert it into a luxury for the rich.
In reply we triumphantly assert that
pumpkin pie is good enough to be ex-
pensive. 1t deserves to be free lux
Ury. Moreover, the main intent of the
free coinage men is to raise the price
of food and farm products. Why not
begin at once with pumpkin pie? We
therefore raise in this compaign the
banner of the free coinage ofpumpkins.

THE CZAR'S WIG.
How an Officer Tweaked It and Won a
Bet and Position.

Bet and Position.
Paul, tho eccentric czar of Russia
assassinated in 1901, was very particu-
lar as to his dress, and considered tri-
fling matters as Of supreme Importance.
This pecGliarity was once taken advan-
tage of by an officer Of the guards, Major
Vaksel, to win bet. The major, the
widest joker in the army, wagered sew
eral hundred rubles that he would
tweak the tail of the emperor's wig on
parade.
The very next day the emperor hap
pened to be present at an early parade.
and, as destiny ruled it, took a position
for moment Immediately in front Of
the daring major. Breathless with ex-
citement and terror, Vaksel's compan-
ions beheld that rash officer right hand
steal slowly from his side, rise to the
level Of the czar's neck and give the
wigs hanging tail most decided tweak.
In an instant the emperor face, pale
with fury, was turned upon Vaksel's
cOuntenance, which, however, only re-
fected an expression of childlike inno-
cence, mingled with the most deferen-
tial establishment.
"Who dared to do that?" asked the
enraged czar, his eyes giving flashing
evidence that his most dangerous mood
was upon him.
II did, your majesty" said Vaksel,
who, however his heart may have flut-
tered, managed to preserve Outwardly
an unruf1ed calm, together with an ex-
preston of innocent surprise. at was
crooked, your majesty" he added, in a
confidential Gndertone. "I Strengthened
it for fear the younger officers should
see. "
Pauis cOuntenance cleared at once.
He stared fixcdly, however. at Vaksel's
innocent looking face for some seconds.
Vaksel admitted afterward that this
was the trying moment, and he had said
to himself, IF wavcr, I'm lostW
Then the CZar spoke. and spoke so that
all might hear.
