HANCOCK STRAWBERRIES.
Pilgrimage of an Ellsworth Party to
DIR. Phillips Strawberry Patch.


There are straw berries and Strawberries;
the high-priced ones from the southern
markets that arrive here early, generally
covered with dust, and wearing forlorn
and faded look are poor substitute Tor
t he luscious, home grown articles little
later in getting here, but all the better
for the delay.
Few realize to W hat an extent this arti-
Gle of summer food is grown right here
ain our midst. Last Thursday party
OF gentlemen from Ellsworth had the OPP
portunity OF inspecting one OF the more
recently established straw berry plant
at Hancock Point " hich is undou btedly
the best locality in the state for straw
berry culture.
The objective point of this particular
trip WIS the farm owned by Dr. George
\, Phillips, OF Ellsworth, whose able
manager is his brot her. W. II. Phillips.
DR.. Phillips says that T.. ". Wooster is
unquestionably the pioneer in THIS part
OF he State, and he j. glad TO acknow-
ledge his Indebtedness III many ways to
the experience and courtesy of MIR. Woos-
ter, whc has made close study OF the
matter fer years.
The four principle farms devoted To the
raising OF berries at Hancock Point are
a. that Of Mr.. Wooster IAN unexpected
delay prevented visiting his fields en-
Thursday. who Will PICK three or four
acres, bearing several thousand quarts,
~ the farm OF Henry Ball who has one
and one half acres to pick from this year,
with "a yield that promises to be very
large; % the farm OF DR.. Phillips and his
brother, aud - the farm OF LIyy Pen
hey x Son, who have from one TO two
acres under cultivation.
Their first venture was last year, when
from one-eighth OF an acre were picked
l'2oo quarts OF berries; this year they pick
from one and one-quarter acres, and have
set nearly four acres for next year 5 pick
ing. A description OF the method used
here will practically explain the methods
extant at all the farms mentioned, and
also at the several smaller patches over
the town.
The practice usually adopted by Messrs.
Wooster, Ball, Phillips and Penney, aud
among straw berry ralsers generally. ia To

iment or settling indicates an unhealthy

A representative of THE AMERICAN
visited Henry Balls straw berry patch last
sunday, ana spent several pleasant hours
III his genial home. Nature knows no holt
days, and awberries will ripen as fast
on Sunday as on any other day in the
week, and because OF this Mr. Ball was
picking berries on Sunday.
The reporter can testify to the excel
lence of Mr.. Balls berries, and to the
conscientious Way in which they are
picked and packed. Mr.. Ball has one adj
vantage over most straw berry growers
he raises his own pickers, and busy and
happy crew it IS at this season.

month was not available to-day, and
1t was found necessary to estimate
some items, although 1t is admitted by
both sides that the estimates are up-
proximately correct.

RESPECT FOR GEORGE.
A Hundred Thousand People Honor the
Leader.

New York Oct. 31.--A mourning city.
n grief-stricken people, today showed
honor to the man who had fallen in the
battle for what he believed to be the
right. Henry George, apostle Of the sin
gle tax, leader of the new Jeffersonian
Democracy, stricken on the eve of eiec-
lion, was honOred us no private citizen
of America was ever lonOred before.
Public griefs have been many In the
great metropolis of the western hemi-
sphere: many have been sincerely
mOurned, but none save he who went
to eternal rest after having served his
people as a leader of soldiers and as
chief executive of the land, had laid Mt
his bier such evidence of public grief,
widespread sorrow and sincere grief.
as was laid at the bier of Henry George.
The body of Henry George lay in
state to-day in the Grand Central pal
ace, and 10000 people reverently passed
the casket and looked upon the face of
the dead philosopher. From o o'clock
in the morning till 3 In the afternoon n
stream of men, women and children
poured into the hall
A little before 3 o'clock tide linf rs
stopped and those who could not geein
Were compelled to turn back and get
out from the police lines. A careful es-
| innate of the number who could not get
in Is 10000. This number is equal to
the number of those who passed tie
casket.
| In the vast auditorium where the
dead rested inspired men. teachers of
all faiths, Jews. Christians. Catholics
and Episcopallans. with hearts wrung
with pain, spoke words which confess
scdlv fell far short of the great waves
of emotion that sought to find utter
ance.
! Not dissenting voice was heard to
the declaration that Henry George was
Il lover of the people. who he believed
We're being oppressed and that he gave
his life, that humanity might live.
The eulogies uttered, the day gone,
the streets became filed with people
who wished to see the funeral cortcge
as ii passed in solemn procession down
New York's greatest streets, thence
across Brooklyn bridge and through
BroOkiyn's streets to the Brooklyn city
hall.
There the public gave over the body
to the family and the caskct was taken
