A Farm Party,

1t was bright, merry party Of elderly
girls" that was entertained by Cooper
and Ida Kirby Coles. on the 23d instant,
as the guests of their mother, Mary A.
Kirby. About 10 a. m. these ''girls''
arrived at "Creamridge," where a warm
welcome was given them, and after the
first few moments of bashfulness had
worn off, all entered into the joys of the
morning with zest that was pleasing
| These joys consisted for the most part in
| occupying cOmforta BILE rockers, enjoying
| cooling breezes, and in partaking OF the
| flow of conversation that rippled along
| in the mellowest possible tones, and
which are chiefly characteristic of"girls"
of the particular ages here represented.
One of these ''girls, who could easily
look back over q period of three.s score
years-and- ten, said she expected she had
been over every foot of ground upon
which "Creamridge" is now composed.
This section having been her childhood's
! home.
After dinner, which was an important
feature, when all had gathered in the
sitting room, it was arranged that the
more active ones should go to the barns
to see the dairy arrangements, the
stables, note the machinery, etc., while
the others, perhaps not less active, re.
freshed brain and body with short maps
When all had again gathered in the
large, airy sitting room, notes were
compared, and it was found that not only
had the barns been visited, but the hens
nest as we'll. No eggs were broken,
however. nor setting hens disturbed,
Notwithstanding the teasing of the reste d
and possibly Jreshened ones.
The maps taken were very short, in
order that no time should be lost. Every
possible moment having been spent in
enjoying this pleasant taste of farm life,
which, to some of them, was but the
living over of earlier days. After an
early tea Dame Nature took hand in
the entertainment of these hOnored
guests and the company was somewhat
delayed in returning to their homes by a
succession of thunder showers in which
the elements seemed bent in presenting q
fine scenic display of their unsurpassable
grandeur. The lightning was very vivid
and the thunder pealed heavily, and the
hail stones that bounced and danced
upon lawn and veranda were as large as
marbles and were eagerly seized as an
added drop of refreshment In this long
to be. remembered outing.
Those present were those we'll known
elderly Friends of Woodstown, Elizabeth
Cawley, Hannah R. Pedrick, Mary II.
Clark, Priscilla Lippincott, Jane Davis
and Elizabeth D. Lippincott. One
other of those invited, Lydia 81. Norris,
was regretedly absent.

A serious Accident.


Miss Elsie Duffell, daughter of DR..
Duffell, of Clayton, and sister of Mrs.
Wesley s. Sinnickson, of Salem. met
with serious accident in Trenton on
Saturday, which necessitated the ampu-
tation of one foot.
Last week she went to Newtown to
spend a week with her friend, Miss
Martha Price. On Saturday her brother,
William Price, took Miss Duffell for a
drive to Trenton, and while speeding
along Greenwood avenue oollided with
q bicycle, ridden by Mrs. Lydia West.
Mrs. West was knocked from her wheel,
and suffered fractured rib. The feet of
the horse driven by Price became
entangled in the wheel and the anima |
ran away, throwing Miss Dnffsll to the
pavement. When picked up it was
found that both her ankles were fractured
and one so badly that amputation was
deemed necessary. She was removed to St
Francis Hospital, Trenton, where the
amputation was made.
Miss Duffell is young lady of about
| nineteen, a great favorite with her family
and friends, and this accident is regarded
as a great calamity. It is to be hoped
she may Withstand the shock and recover
From later Intelligence we learn that
Miss Duffell died from her injuries on
Wednesday night.

Crops I'm GOOD condition.

Reports on the condition of the crops in
this Stat because of the long spell of wet
wealth or were submitted on Tuesday to
Franklin Dye, the secretary of the Sta to
Board of Agriculture. Representative
farmers from different counties gathered
at the State House, Trenton, to confer
with Secretary Dye, and he took advant-
age of their presence to supplement crop
report that he was compiling.
Former Assemblyman D. d. Denise,
the president of the State Board of Agri-
culture, gave this report as the result of
his experience.
"The rain so far has not done any
general damage, and the outlook of q
good year for the farmers still continues.
There was some damage in localities by
the high wind of last week. The corn
was blown down and some peach trees
damaged.
"The potatoes are in danger of rotting,
and in other localities tomatoes are being
ruined, but as the crop has been abundant
there are no signs of a scarcity or of high
prices"
Former Assemblyman Benjamin E..
Tine, of Hunterdon, spoke eucouragingly ly
about the New Jersey peach, on which
the market of Philadelphia and New
York will have to depend this year.
"The peach crop in Warren, Hunterdon
and Sussex Counties will be large, and l
do not see anything now that can harm
it, unless it is a terrific hailstOrm to
knock the fruit off. The peaches seem to
be thriving, and the peach growers are ex.
pecting big yields, because the fruit crop
cf Maryland and Delaware is reported a
failure, and that will make the Jersey
peaches command a good price,"
W. r. Ward, of Newark, stated that
the outlook for fruit was good and that
| there might not be so many pears, but
they will be good.
w. R. Lippincott, of Burlington, gave
this cheering report: s'The lice and other
small parasites that were affecting fruits
and particularly melons, have been oblit.
| Grated by the long rains. The trees and
vines have been freed of them and the
outlook is for big and sweet melons anC
juicy csntaloupes. The farmers are
| willing for it to stop raining now."
Senator William G. Parry, of Burling
ton County, said the outlook is for big
crops.
| Former Senator John G. Ward, now
Chief Factory Inspector, gave an entirely
different report. He is farmer in Salem
county, and his report for the southern
counties is not SO rosy. He says: "Tht
farmers of South Jersey depend yer!
largely on the tomato crop. for the larg,
canneries are located in that section
The tomatoes are beginning to show
signs of decay, because of the continued
wet season. A failure of the tomat,
crop, such as is threatened, would be
calamity"

TERRE HAUTE, IND, Aug 20-Mrs.

fathers home for burying three week
old baby alive. When Detective McRse
lifted it out OF the shallow grave and
found it yet alive, though she says she

Mrs. Thompsen's husband deserted her
last fall. The baby was born in Danvil!e,

in ormation about the baby, she said it
was at rest and that she would not tell

consented to show the burial place in the
wood, near her fathers house. The ply
sicians say the infant will live. She tried
to dispose of the baby in Paris, Ill, last
Saturday, whrre she went under the name
of Barber. Wnen Thompson saw the

Scientific Helmets Are Now
Worn That Admit Of Free
Ventilation.
The Old Unhealthy Headpiece Led to
Investigation and to Re-
form.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,

sos Broadway, August 20
Some weeks ago the fact was called to
the attention of the Chief of Police and to
the Police Commission that the members
of the force were more or less afflicted
with badness. The inquiry was made by
Health Officer Dunn. and the fact was
substantiated. He was asked to try and
discover the cause. and after consultation
with several of the men, including Captain
Wilson and Jailer Swain, it was decided
that the badness was undoubtedly caused
bv the poorly ventilated helmets worn by
the officers.
Helmets of other departments were
sent Tor, and special attention. was given
to the headpiece of Chief of Police Lees OF
San Francisco, who is long way removed
from any suggestion OF badness.
Finally pattern was agreed upon
which EN- bodies all the good points found
in the sa m pies, and to-day the force ap-
peared in them for the first time.
The new helmets are encircled with a
bright leather band. instead OF the old
time silk cord. suggestive OF an. English
su uburban "pooby." AMI in every wav
they are thoroughly up to date. They
are very fully and scientifically venti
lated, and it is claimed that they will.
prove beneficial to the wearers.

very comfortable, although at present
they experience some trorble in satisfac-
torily answering the oft-re peated cues
