Remarkable Decrease In the TraNci
to the Gold Fields.

Tacoma, Wash, Special.-Travel to
Alaska, has fallen off tremendously
During the last two weeks arrivals
from Eastern states have been fewer
than ut any time since December,
while almost every day has seen an
other steamship added to the Alaskan
fleet. The steamship Cleveland is
tied at the saw mill, the business Of
fcring this week being insufficient to
warrant sending her off. The steam
ship Australia sailed last night with
only 100 passengers from Tacoma and
Seattle, though she can carry 600. Her
freight is likewise light. The falling
off in travel is attributed to diScOurag.
ing reports from the trails.

A Fruit Exhibit.

The Peninsula Horticultural Society. at
its meeting in Snow Hill, last January, ap-
pointed o. committee "to secure cold storage
of small packages of fruit 10 be placed on
exhibition at the next annual meeting of
this society, the society to pay charges of
transportation and storage of such pack
ages under the regulations of the commit
tee."
The committee. acting under this author
ity, has made arrangements with the "WiE-
mington Abbatoir and Cold Storage Com
pany," 216 and 234 Tatnall street, Whining
ton, Delaware, for the storage of such
packages; and now gives this early notice
of such action, that fruit growers in all parts
of the Peninsula may begin at once to lay
plans to prepare to furnish such exhibits.
Growers who desire to make exhibits
should send notice without delay to the
chairman of the committee, stating what
kinds and varieties of fruits can be furnished
The committee suggests that several fruit
growers in neighborhood may combine in
making arrangements fer their shipments.
AL should at once write the committee,
and full directions as to style of package,
time and manner of shipment, and all
other necessary particulars, will be sent to
the proposed exhibitors.
We greatly desire to make this exhibit an
object lesson, that will not be forgotten, of
great practical value to the fruits interests

The war is advancing the price of ne.

on many articles of consumption which
willremain to harass the people for some
time. Had there been any national in

United States, or justifying her to enter
upon this conflict the war fever would have
been general and not located to individuals

The sudden rise of wheat does
not apply to dry goods.
Contracts for American-made dry
goods, entered into long before the
war, are like the good pumps at
Fairmount, constantly pumping into
stock the new goods.
Taking off the ocean carriers, the
St. Paul and other steamships, has
not interfered with our supplies of
French, English and German goods.
Good merchants, or merchants true
to their customers interests, must
buy goods on either side of the sea,
wherever they are made best, at
most reasonable prices. With all
the bombast and brag of dema-
gogues about buying only home
manufactures, not one customer in
ten thousand, working people in
cluded, asks where goods are made.
They want them cheap, cheap,
cheap. And forty years expert.
ence proves that not one person in
twenty thousand will pay more for
American makes than the goods un-
fortunately underrated in the tariff.

than the manufacturers choose to
make them in America.

These are busy days for US. Our

Stylish goods are not scarce here.
With larger sales right along, of
course we made larger preparations
in stocks, and, war or no war, peo-

taken of the absence of full stocks

THE Legislature still lives nor doth
the end yet appear. On Thursday a
prominent Democrat of MiddletoWn
sought the TRANSCRIPT scribe and
suggested that the formal transfer of
the First Delaware Regiment of Vol
unteers to the government would be
much more impressive if a war Incl
dent we're introduced. His idea was
to catch the members of the General
Assembly during their visit here, to
court martial them, condemn them to
be shot publicly as awful examples
before the assembled people. and thus
effectually and permanently to adjourn
that Legislature. No other hope is
apparent to him. The TRANSCRIPT
man persuaded him that they we're
guests of the town and such an act
would be forever to the discredit Of the
citizens here. There was a difference
of opinion upon this point, hence the
General Assembly escaped the proposed
effective adjournment.
