The peach estimate for Delaware has
been secured by the railroads and shows
there is an enormous crop in the region of
Bridgeville, the great peach center The
estimate embraces only growers expecting
more than 1000 baskets of fruit. Each
tree is estimated to yield only ere basket,
and even then the figures show that the
trees now have prospect of yielding more
.han half a million baskets.
Adding to the railroad estimate the
number of baskets in small orchards ana
allowing more than one basket TO MANY
trees. and there will be gathered within
a very small radius to be shipped from one
railroad station at least 6po,psb baskets of
peaches.
The capacity of freight cars is from COO
to 500 baskets Of fruit, and allowing each
car $50 baskets, enough peaches will be
shipped from Bridgevihe to make forty
trains of twenty cars each.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send Ills Dis
corery Free-Clnims to be a Benefactor
TO Weakened Mankind,


There Is always more or less suspicion
attached TO anything that Is offered free
but sometimes a man so overiioys with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery Is known to the world, in or
der that his fellow men may profit by
what he has discovered. II Id upon this
principle that resident OF Kalamazoo,
Mich, desires to send free to mankind
a prescription which will cure them OF
any form or nervous debility; relieves
them OF all the doubt and uncertainty
which such men are peculiarly liable 10
and restores the organs TO natural size
and vtgor AS 1t costs nothing to try
the experiment 1t would seem that any
man, suffering with the nervous
troubles that usually attack men who
never stopped to realize what might be
the final result, ought TO be deeply IN
terested In n remedy which will restore
them to health, strength and vlgor,
without which they continue TO live an
existence OF untold misery. AS the rem.
cdy In question was the result of many
years research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective In restor-
Ing 10 men the strength they need 1t
would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought

will be answered promptly and without

though some may wonder how Mr., Odds
can AFFORD to give away his discovery,

To-day'S stock market was strong
and the volume of business showed Il
substantial increase over Mondays
operations. The dealings were no less
professional. however, than FOR some
time past. The explanation for the day's
upward movement was that three lead
ing bears having yesterday discovered
that their following was inconveniently
large, promptly jumped into cover to-
day. The result was steady rise In
prices upon an improved distribution of
business. The ostcnsible causes OF the
rally were alleged to be sudden belief
upon the part of bears that there was
not much to be expected from the Pres
dents reference to the Cuban question,
in his forthcoming message to Congress
to help break the stock market.
