an hour and a half of Gel!beration and
discussion, reached an agreement by
vote Of ten TO three that further considera-

until next Friday night. On emerging from
their secrecy. however. and announcing
their decision, the members found them
selves confronted by request from Gahan
& Byrne that the bid OF that firm De re-
jected and their check returned.
This precipitated n new crisis. and the
agreement which had been arrived at in
secret suddenly went 10 pieces. leading 10

Good looks are really more than skin

is inactive, you have bilious look; il your
stomach is disordered, you have a dyspep-

have a pinched look. Secure good health,

PEACH CROP.
Eastern Shore Yield Will Only Be About
Fourth This Year.

Down the Eastern Shore the prospect is
not so radiant with the ruddy glow Of
hope. The peach growers down there have
oscillated between the extremes of happi-
ness and despair twice since the middle Of
February. During the early part OF the
season the outlook was very encouraging.
Then came the blasts of treacherous April
frosts. That instantly froze all hopes as
well as buds. However, the trees seemed
to revivify and flourish. Buds that were
considered dead took on the semblance OF
vigorous life. As they grew, the hopes Of
the proprietors expanded in proportion.
Then followed the June drop. And that
has been simply awful" Great quanti-
ties Of promising fruit have fallen from
the tree, each separate little peach repre-
senting human groan. AS result, those
who had il hope in May have virtually lost
it since the progress of June.
The crop on the Eastern Shore will hard
ly exceed one-fourth of what is deemed a
good crop. And even the growth of that
crop will disclose many idiosyncrases. 1t
will not be one in which uniform reduc-
ton in yield will mark all the orchards.
On the contrary, many orchards will be
found literally loaded with elegant fruit,
while another, not fifty yards distant, will
hardly yield twenty bushels. While one
man may be blessed with a superabund-
ance, his next door neighbor will have
none at all. These absolute failures, here
and there, in the area of orchards are the
cause which will help reduce the aggregate
crop to the low average of fourth

THE NEW MUSIC.
Alarming Effect of the War on Popular
Melodies.

Have you noticed the very patriotic dis
plays in some Of the music store windows?
All these music folk have to do is to plaster
their wares all over big frame, for there
are enough patriotic pieces with fronts-
pieces OF every possible arrangement of red,
white and blue to carry out most any
patriotic decorative scheme. And looking
at each Individually, you may find any
combination, from any naval or army hero
in the shadow of the Stars and Stripes, to
Evangelina Cisneros and the pretty little
dances, too, something to fit any and every
body, wherever the seat of their musical
appreciation happens to be. A battle is
hardly fought before descriptive battle
piece (warranted a reproduction in har-
mony) is out, with especial attention de-
voted to the part introducing the shrek of
flying shells and the blowing up of Span
ish ships. Even the lists OF this new
music have a flag printed on one side.
There's simply no end to our patriotism!

PROWLER SURPRISED.
An ElktOn Lady Used a Pistol With
Effect in Driving Off an Intruder.

For some time past the residents of Elk
particularly of East Main street, have
been annoyed by prowler who has become
bold in the habit of playing the role of
'Peeping Tom"-and as result warm
receptions are awaiting him at most Of the
households. Although the police are on
the outlook for the annoyer he escaped
their espionage on Saturday evening and
climbing upon a shed roof at the home OF
Alfred Marcns, on Shaffer street, which
leads into East Main street, above South
street, was peeping into bedroom when
detected by Mrs. Marcus.
The lady being much surprised screame ed
and the whole neighborhood was aroused.
Mrs r. B. Frazer, of East Main street,
hearing the screams started to the aid of
the person in distress, when she saw a
negro man running away from the prop
erty. Mrs. Frazer, in order to hasten the
retreat OF the prowler fired her revolver in
his direction, with the result that the
fellow increased his pace double quick
Mrs. Frazer is being complimented by her
friends for her act, it being such good
lesson to these criminals-giving them to
understand that their visits will be sum-
marily dealt with. A certain negro is
under strong suspicion as being the "Peep-
ing Tom," and his actions are being
Swallowed by the police. 1t is hoped that
the culprit will be soon within a cell at the
Elkton Jail.
