BUSHELS OF COIyNTERFEIrS.
Counterfeit Eive-cent Pieces in Circu-
lation Throughout Delaware
and Marylaud,

I Again the people of Wilmington are
warned against the counterfeit nickel
tive-ccnt piece, which is in active circ,
lation not only in this city, but through
out the State.
Reports from a number Of the larger
towns in the State are to the fleet that
bushels of these counterfeit coins are in
circulation and are still being "shoved'
by gang Of sharpers, who have among
their number several small boys who
perform most Of the work OF passing
them upon storekeepcrs by making
small purchases and receiving pennies in
change.
County postmastcrs are also receiving
large quantities of these counterfeit
coins, as they are easy marks for the
Showers" who purchase anywhere from
a dozen to twenty two-cent stamps and
tender the co,nterfets in payment, and
usually succeed in getting away with
them.
These stamps are afterwards sole to
brokers in the large cities, as postage
stamps are always salable at nearly their
face value.
The coin is we'll made, but is of light
weight and lacks the bounce and ring OF
the genuine nickel when thrown upon q
solid surface.
1t contains small amount Of alumi-
nun and greater quantity of lead,
which latter metal gives the counterfeit
a more greasy feeling than he genuine
coin.
These co,lntcrfels are also in circula-
ton in Maryland, and numbtr Of
them have been detected by the oitic a
in the sub-treasury at Baltimore.

Merchants and Mann
1actnrf rs Association.

a large meeting Of business men is tx.
pected at the Board of Trade rooms to.
morrow evening to organize the Mer.
chants and Manufacturers Association.
This Association is to assist the Board
Of Trade in their efforts to improve the
city OF Wilmington by bringing more OF
the business from down the peninsula to
Wilmington that has heretofore gone to
Philadelphia.
One Of fthe leading merchants of this
city, and a prominent member OF the
Board Of Trade says:
Cheap excursions will be discussed
and it is cxpcctcd that fund will be
raised to defray the expenses Of complet-
ing all arrangements.
ANY money spent to further the sue
cess OF the cheap excursions and the en-
terairment OF the excursionists will be
well expended and no merchant should
hesitate to contribute literally for such
!: cause.
1T is just as necessary for city to
advertise itself and show to the people
that Wilmington is fully up to the times
and has as fine stores with complete
line of goods as can be found elsewhere.
as it is for our merchants to do their own
individual advertising
Nothing will prove this to the people
better than bringing them here and let
them seen fur themselves that this city
is just what it advertises.
"A hand in hand effort made by the
merchants will bring about better re.
suits than anything already thought of.

our merchants are about forty years be-

have fair business and unlike the
''p"g'essive' people Of the present age
are satisfied with it. These kind of men
are no Use to themselves or anyone else
and the fewer we have Of them in the
city the better. Some of them clam
that it would not benefit them any to
bring people here from down the State.
''Ihese men cannct realize that nearly
two million dollars a year are spent in
Philadelphia by the trade the merchants
are after or they would surely have
different version Of it. They are satisfied
to sit down and wait t IF other people to
DO the work and they get what benefit
they can.
''This is bad principle and is not one
to be proud Of. This fortunately applies
to only few-and the fewer the better"
Hon. Charles b. Lore will address the
meeting; also, some Of the principal bus-

urOn his son to assist him in Ht
management of those properties. liz
left Philadelphia in 1870 and went tc
Chicago, where he engaged in business
az a commission merchant.
From this work he was recalled soon
by Ills father, who gave him the manage
ment of the Germantown Passenger
Railway Company.
1t was while thus occupied, ut the
same time taking an active interest in
politics as a Democrat, that Mr.. Sin.
yerIy purchased The Record, in 1877.
Started a few years before, the paper had
! never been financial success, and at the
time it changed hands was struggling
along with daily circulation of scarcely
six thousand copies. BY reducing the
price to one cent Mr.. SIngcrly became
the pioneer in America in printing Il
first class morning newspaper for a cent
marking out the way in which SO many
other journals have since followed it.
Aggressive methods were at once intro
duced into The Record and it's circuIa-
tion, growing steadily and rapidly, has
ever since gone ON increasing, until it
has now nearly reached the 100000
mark.
In 1857, upon the retirement of Gov
ernor Pattison from office, Mr.. Singerly
took an active part in establishing the
Chestnut Street National Bank. Of which
the Ex-Governor became the first prcsi-
dent. Upon Mr.. Pat,ison being called a
second time to the Governorshipof Penn
sylvania Mr.. Singerly succeeded him as
president of the bank. lie was also
president Of Chestnut Street Trust and
Sa, ings Fund Company.
In 1894 Mr.. Singerly was unanimously
ernor, and he entered with great energy
into the campaign that followed. He
spoke in nearly every county of the
State, and in all made over seventy
speeches. The natural Republican ma
jority Of Pennsylvania, however, was
too great to BE- overcome and General
Hastings was elected.
In 1896, although Il Presidential elec-
tor upon the Democratic ticket, Mr..
Singcrly rcpuliated the silver nominees
Of Chicago Convention, and gave his
support to Palmer and Buckner, the cal-
ddates OF sound money Democrats For

missioner Of Fairmount Park and was
always much inte rested in everything
looking to the improvement of that fine
pleasure ground.
In many Of diversified interests which
claimed Mr. Singerly's attention, as he
aimed rather at the improvement OF ad-
vancement of Philadelphia than at his
own profit, this led to his large build
ing opportunity of the North Western
section of the city, where over one
thousand houses were erected by him;
to the construction OF the fine home OF
"rhe Record and the handsome bank
building on Chestnut street above
Seventh, and to other projects looking
to the increase Of the city's business in
terests.
Everything intended to benefit Phia-
de|phia always found in him enthus-
astic advocate. and he was generous
sup orter OF all good causes.
Mr.. Singcrly was twice married. and
leaves one child, Mrs. Elizabeth Singerly
Baleh, and two grandchildren, Miss
Mabel Sinyerly Meredith and William
Mccartney, both children Of a
daughter now dead, Mrs Katherine

FAREWELL TO MIR. LEO NARD
Grace NJ. T.. Church Filled to the
Doors With Friends of the
Indian Missionary.

The services at Grace NJ. f. Church
last evening, were of more than usual
interest to Wilmington Methodists and
supporters of foreign missions generally,
and owing to the character of the SER
vices almost the entire seating capacity
OF the spacious cdifice was necessary to
accommodate those who attended
Chief Justice Lore presided and took a
prominent part in the exercises.
The greater portion of those present
were there for the purpose of bidding
farewell to the Rev. Mr. Leonard, u
native OF India, who has been in the
United States for a little over two years
preparing himself for missionary work
in his native country, and as yesterday
was missionary day in the churches
the services OF last night were most ap-
propriate.
D.rng the short time Mr.. Leonard
has been in this country, he has not
only perfected himself for the work he
has undertaken by gr duating with
hOnors from the Drew Theological Semi
nary, but he has also done u great
amount Of work in behalf Of foreign
missions. and has collected over $1,000
by his efforts.
His farewell 10 Wilmington and to
Grace Church was in language that
deeply affected his auditors, ana moved
many Of them to tears.
In his remark, he confined himself
principally to lacts regarding the natives
OF lnula, and tie need they have for
the Christmnizing influence / European
civilization.
Chief Justice Lore and the Hon. John
Field took up but small portion of the
time, although the address OF the latter
in response to MIR. Leonard's farewell
remarks were highly edifying and very
interesting.
The collection taken up in the church
during the morning service amounted to
.G95, which sum will be used for mis-.
' onary purposes.

STUDY YOUR SOIL.
J. L COOPER

Every farmer, and especially every
one who is trying TO raise fruit, says
the North American Horticulturist,
should be we'll posted as to just the
condition Of his soil, so as to be able to
select intelIigently the varieties which
are suited to his particular locality.
Rulletin No. "a of the New York Ex
pertinent State contains the following
suggestions, which will enable any in
telIigent man to tell with fair degree
of accuracy what his soil Chic fly needs
in the way of plant food. When he
finds out what is needed it is q very
easy matter to prcc ire the necessary
fertilizer:
1. As a rule lack of nitrogen is in
dlcated when plants are pale green in
color, or where there is a small growth
of leaf or stock, other conditions being
favorable.
2 A bright, deep green color, with q
vigorous growth OF leaf or stalk, ID, in
case of most crops, a sign that nitrogen
is not lacking, but does not necessarily
indicate that nitrogen could not not be
used to advantage.
8 An excessive growth of leaf or
stalk, accompanied by an imperfect
Oud, flower and fruit development, in
dicates too much nitrogen for the pot
ash and phosphoric acid present.
When such crops as corn, cabbage,
grass, potatoes, etc, have luxuriant,
healtnful growth, an abundance of pot
ash in the soil is indicated; also when
feshy fruits of fine flavor aud texture
can be successfully grown.
8 When soil produces good, early
maturing crops of grain with plump
and heavy kernels, phosphoric acid
will not generally be found deficient in
the soil.
