Oyster Seasons Opening.

| To day heralds the opening of the oys.
ter season. From tho outlook at presen
| the or op will not approximate the norma
either In quantity or quality.
september IL considered the critical
| month in this industry, forit has been
| found that during that period of tho year
the oysters undergo changes which will
largely influence the quality of the market
Many of the beds ON the Western Shore
are said to show specimens much below
the average growth generally noticed at
the beginning Of the season.
Many experts attribute the diminished
size so noticeable at present to the exces
sively hot weather of June and July,
which has affected the wator from which
the bivalves derive their nourishnent Tho
oysters however may experience phe-
pomenal transformation during the month
of September; such things have not been
unusual In the past and have eventually
caused very unpromising crop to meas
ure up to the recognized standard long be-
fore tho season comes to an end.
Like tho peach crop scare, there arc
rumors afloat that prices will DO excessive
during the coming season. but 1t has been
found that there Is little cause for alarm
from this source Naturally. the price Will
be influenced by the output, but even
shonld the latter fall below the normal
the figures would not show an excessive
increase On the other hand if the crop
should pan out well and there should be
an abundance OF oysters to quote q large
local dealer, the prices would be vol
maintained If the product was good and
fat. While all dealers agree that the pres
emit outlook israther gloomy, 1t Is still on.
tirely too early to predict success or fall.

A case which resulted In a defendant DO.

attention Of Magistrate Pritchett yester-
day afternoon. Mrs. Sarah N. Fell Of
Union, through LIlburne Chandler
charged q. A. Taylor local agent Of Phil.

Tho testimony proved that Mrs. Fell had

any thing after. Frequent visits had boon

Greatest Park in the World,

The United States set apart royal
pleasure ground In northwestern Wy
oming and called 1t Yellowstone Ma
tionai Park. To give an idea of what
its size, 1872 square miles, really
means. let us clear the floor of the
park and tenderly place some of the
great cities Of the world there, close
together, as children do their blocks.
First put in London, then Greater New
York, Chicago. Philadelphia, Paris,
Boston, Berlin, St. Louis, Hongkong,
San Francisco and Washington. The
floor OF the park would then be but
half covered. Then lift up Rhode Is
land carefully SO as not to spill any of
its people, set 1t down, and press In the
West Indies-and even then there are
200 square miles left. No equal area
in the world has such a diversity of
natural phenomena and such mag
nif1cent scenery. 1t is marvellous

sers and hot springs. mountains, can
