Bisbop C,leman Retnrns.


Bishop Coleman, who has been making q
tramp through Maryland and West Vir.
ginia, arrived home Monday evening. Bis.
hop Coleman left Wilmington two weeks
ago to lake walk through the mountains
He travelled strictly incognito and many o.
his intimate friends would not have recog-
nized in the travel-stained, dust-coYered
man The head of the Diocese of Delaware.
After leaving Wilmington he alighted
from the train at Mariinsburg, W. Va, and
from there he began his walk Of 235 miles.
He walked in all kinds of weather that
overlook him, and over all kinds of roads.
He struck into the heart of the mountains
and tramped from Martinsburg to Cumber-
land, Nd, and then spent several days in
the vicinity of the latter place tramping
through the surrounding country. He then
came further east. and Monday afternoon
boarding a train about forty miles from
Washington, arrived at Bishopstead about
midnight.
During his outing Bishop Coleman was
constantly the object of pity and consola-
tion, and persons who saw him tramping
along the road expressed the deepest SYM
pathy for the poor old man who had to
walk" In the majority of instances the
bishop found the people Hospitality inclin-
&c, and when they could would offer to do
what they could to make the poor mans
tramping lighter.
In speaking ofh's tramp the Bishop said
that he found that nearly all the persons
in the country through which he travelled,
led lonely life, many of them being un-
able to read or write. He urged the par
ents to send their children to school and
hopes that his words of ADVICE will be
needed.

ONE MIDDLETowN FIRM.

A representative of the TRANSCRIPT on
day this week stepped into the large blanke
room of Messrs. ]. C. Parker & Son adjoin
ing their store and was surprised at tht
4 large shipments of blankets made N tht
past few days. The firm has on hand yet
large quantity and variety but having
filed their orders for the Fall trade the
open spaces in the wareroom indicated
prosperous business in this branch OF their
/ trade, Engaging the senior member of the
firm in conversation, not for publication
but since it shows a growing business OF
which Middletown as well as the proprie-
tors and the employees of the Diamond
State Harness Factory may well be proud,
Mr.. Parker will forgive the liberty of a
quotation:
In 1889 the firm began the wholesale
business. and as the business runs SO sys-
tematically the amount of trade for each
and every year and month can be told
readily. Referring to the growth, Mr..
Parker stated that in 1889, the first year of
wholesale business, that only about $6f o
worth of goods were sold, and those at
higher price than the same goods bring to-
day. This the tenth year will run ten
times that amount, or sixty thousand
dollars. Also that in 1884 they began the
sale of blankets and robes after hard
fight with the manufacturers to convince
them that the firm was entitled to the
regular jobbing price of the goods; they
found the blanket business about $110O for
September of that year; September OF 1895,
$1,000; '96, $1,000; '97, $500, and '9S,
$4,000 worth have been sold.
The wages paid out this year, will
amount to 5000, al least, and they are
now arranging to handle more goods which
will of necessity call for more wages, as
they will work more men. They have
brought several families to the town who
occupy houses, and live here. The goods
bought and sold make more business for
the railroad and post Office, all of which
add to the volume of business of Middle
town.
The first year, 1889, they sold 364 sets Of
harness. This year so far about $500 sets.
About ten times as many with all other
parts in proportion.
The books of the firm show another
pleasant fact: With the excep ion Of two
years under the Wilson-Gorman tariff and
depressed trade there has been a gradual
growth in the business of this enterprising
firm every year. These facts should be
very gratifying to Messrs. Parker & Son
and to the citizens of Middletown also
since the more business the more employ
ment of labor and the more morey in cir
culation in the town. There is push. good
judgment and fair dealing behind the
business of the Diamond State Harness
Factory and these must win.

The Grain sitnat,on

The estimates of the foreign wheat crop
cannot yet be made with exactness. The
Hgures given from time to time are subject
to correction. It is now said the grain
crops in Europe may amonnt to $780, %, 600
bushels more than last year.
The crops in some countries, which were
reported few weeks ago to be shorter than
usual, will probably turn out better than
was expected, but there will be shortage
in some countries. The European wheat
crop may, it is now said, be estimated at
about 24O. .OOO. .0o0 bushels more than they
had last year.
There will, of course. be large surplus
of American grain for sale. The foreign
demand win. as usual, determine the price.
At present the prices are not high, but
there are indications that the foreign de-
mands will be good.
