mated that about 81, ZOO, 900 has been
received from the crop this season,
which is not one-half of what was re-
ceived last year. The average price of
peaches this year has not been over 20
cents basket, while last year it was
about 65 cents. There were several
causes for the falling off in price. One
of them was that the fruit was very
poor and another the hard times. The
hard times made money scarce among
the working men and they are the ones
who buy the peaches. The quality of
the fruit is blamed upon the long, dry
spell of weather which visited the pc
ninsula. .-Kenl NetUS.
KILLED HIS FATHER TO SAVE HIS
MOTHER. - Percy Mulliken of near
Centreville Md, II year old boy, was
Friday morning arrested by Constable
Robert Causey, of that place, and
locked up in Jail on the charge of muir
der. 1t is probable that this charge
will not be pushed against the boy for
the reason that he killed his father in
order to save the life of his mother and
himself. The story is a sad one. On
Thursday afternoon John H. Mulligan
who owns a farm near Centreville,
upon which he lived, got drunk and
threatened to kill his wife, who was
alone in the house at the time. He
followed the threat and the hands of
the woman were badly cut in warding
off the blows of the knife in the hands
of her husband. The boy arrived in
time to save his mother by taking the
knife from the father. Mulliken then
left the place, swearing that he would
kill both of them when he returned.
The father shortly after came toward
them with an axe. The son in order
to save his mothers life seized double
harreled shot gun, which stood at the
top of the landing and shouted to his
father to stand back. He cBme on
with the axe, and the boy pulling the
triggers of both barrels, shot the man
through the heart. He died instantly.
The affair caused considerable excite
ment, as all the people are well known.
Mrs. Mulliken is the daughter of De-
yer, late clerk of the court for Queen
Anne's county. The boy expressed the
greatest sorrow over the killing of his
father, but said it was necessary in
order to save the life of his mother.
He did not see how he could have done
otherwise. The greatest sympathy is
expressed by allfor the boy. Mulliken
was about As years old. He was we'll
liked, but was liable to cause trouble
when he had been drinking.
At the cOrOners inquest the son was
justified in defending his mother and
liberated from custody.

The Christian newspaper will be the
right wing of the apocalyptic angel. The
cylinder of the Christianized printing
press will be the front wheel of the
Lords chariot. I take the music Of this
day, and I do not mark it diminuendo
Il mark it crescendo. A pastor on a
Sabbath breaches to a few hundred, or a
few thousand people, and on Monday,
or during the week, the printing press
will take the same sermon and preach it
to millions of people. God speed the
printing press! God save the printing
press God Chrlst1anlze the printing
press
When l see the printing press standing
with the electric telegraph on the one
side gathering up material, and the
lightning express train on the other side
waiting for the tons of folded sheets of
newspapers, l pronounce it the mightiest
force in our civilization. So l commend
the newspapers of the land, for all type
settlers, for all reporters, for all editors,
for all publishers, that, sitting or stand
ing in positions of such great influence,
they may give all that influence for God
and the betterment Of the human race.
An aged woman making her living by
knitting, unwound the yarn from the
ball until she found in the center of the
ball there was an old piece of newspa-
per. She opened it and read an adver-
tisement which announced that she had
become heiress to a large property and
that fragment of a newspaper lifted
her from pauperism to af1uence. And I
do not know but as the thread of time
unrolls and unwinds a little further
through the silent yet speaking newspa-
per may be found the vast inheritance of
the worlds redemption.
