NOW FOR THE PEACHES.
Delaware Growers Will Remedy ,
Defect in Preparing
Fpuit

Peach growers are already planning g
for next fruit season, and if there is a
peach crop another season, it will be con-
Quoted upon very different scale than
in former years.
Last season Delaware growers were
worried at the fact that the Georgia
peach appeared to be taking the lead. A
number Of Delaware growers accordingly
visited that State during the season, and
they found the fruit to be inferior, both
in size and favor to the Delaware peach.
The Delawareans found, however, that
Georgia growers paid great attention to
the packing Of their fruit, and, conse-
quently, when it reached market it pre-
sented far better appearance than Del
aware fruit, for Delaware growers in
their haste to get their fruit off on the
early trains, paid little or no attention to
the packing Of the fruit, and it was owing
to this fact that Georgia peaches sold far
ahead of Delaware ones.
Growers intend to remedy this defect
by another season, and will shortly begin
the erection of packing shanties in their
orchards. Each grower will employ from
ten to twenty women and girls to do the
work Of packing, and the greatest care
will be taken that no culls nor decayed
fruit is shipped.

SHOULD HAVE TORCHES
Dark Lanterns Needed by the Will
mington Police Force to Enter
All Questionable Places.

Every police officer on the Wilmington
police force should be supplied with an
electric pocket lamp, for these guardians
of the public are often called on to go
boldly into places of night, trusting
only to matches.
The department recently purchased
several Ever Ready Electric torches, but
not near enough.
Recently at the dead hour Of night the
piercing screams CT woman were heard.
They seemed to come from the rear Of
Hogans Flats.
In few minutes five or six officers
were at the rear entrance to the build
ing. They pushed boldly into the place
through labyrinth Of dark passages
and climbed up dark starways with no
light except that which was furnished
by the officers striking matches, which
dim light seemed but to make the dark
ness more intense.
Not an officer of the searching party
had a dark lantern. They were forced
to stumble along over ash barrels and
boxes, liable at any minute to step into
some danger concealed by the Egyptian
darkness.
The screaming woman was not found
by the blue coats, nor could they be ex-
pected to find any thing. There were the
electric torches at the City Hal, but
they were about as much use as the
"Dutchman's Anchor, which was
home"
The smaller sized torches only cost
about So and could be carried in the
pocket, always convenient in case Of
emergency. Every officer would be pre-.
pared to do better service il properly
equipped with the tools Of his trade.
1t is wonderful what good work Viii.
mington's police force accomplishcs and
how many violators of the law are
brought to justice by them. 1t has been
said by men old in the service that they
could apprehend more criminals and
break up more lawless places If they
we're equipped with lamp like the ones
mentioned above.
The officers on the coast section are
more in need of the torches than those

HOISTED SAFES NEVER FALL.
Pepole EX pcct Them to But Great Care
is Taken by Those Who
Move Them.
Move Them. .

/ Last week a large safe was moved into
big Market street business house. A
crowd of over 200 people gathered, as
usual for nothing, not even excayating a
cellar, seems to interest people more than
such an event.
Everyone in the crowd wondered
what would happen if The ropes were to
break or the safe slip and the great mass
of iron come crashing to the street.
The crowd which gathers on such oc-
casions always wonders why this thing
does not happen. But it never does.
Any man who wishes to move his safe
has right to suspend it above the heads
of passersby, for there are no laws
against his doing so. Safem overs are
not required to take out licenses, nor is
there any official inspection of safe
moving apparatus. Yet accidents are
rare. Heavy safes are so difficult to move
that man does not try often to move
one without the aid of experienced men.
If safe is to be shifted only two feet on
| the Office floor safemovers must be sent
| for.
Safes sometimes weigh as much as 49,
900 pounds, and it may cost anywhere
from So to $500 to move one. A small
safe can be handled by two or three men
but twenty are not too many to deal with
one weighing 10000 pnunds. Recently it
took twenty men and three wagons the
best part of day to lower a safe from
the second floor of building to the
ground.
The largest safes, such as are used in
banks, can rarely be put in above the
second story of building. They are SO
heavy that the floor will not support
them. The usual way of getting a safe
from wagon into building is by
means of pulleys. A block is fastened to
the roof of the building or to the floor
above the window through which the
safe is to enter. The windlass is on the
wagon.
Sometimes it takes six or eight men to
manage the windlass. If the safe be un-
usually heavy Drift has to be lifted high
the number OF pulleys and wndlasses is
increased. Manila rope is used for the
pulley. Eight pieces of one and half
inch rope are sufficiently strong to carry
a 40, pound safe. Every piece OF rope
must be tested each time before it is used
and every part of the apparatus ex-
amined.
Each man must understand his bust.
ness thoroughly. Only thus are acci.
dents avoided. After the men on the
windlass have hoisted the safe high
enough, all but one or two leave the
wagon and 60 up to the block and hoist
it in. Safes have been carried by wind
lass and pulley all the way to the toy
, stories OF the highest buildings. Some
times it is necessary to hoist a safe
through an elevator shaft instead O
. CARRYING it through window. In such
case ropes are extended from the street
to the elevator shaft, whence they ar,
guided by means of snatch blocl
through the shaft. Few buildings hav,
, freight elevators strong enough to lf
, safes. If they have, 1900 pounds is th
!, limit.
When safe is to be moved from on
part of room to another sheets OF irol
are used to protect the floor. -Four sheet
about six foot long and foot and hal
wide are placed on the floor in the patl
