THE KEIFFER PEAR CROP

| THE KEIFFER PEAR CROP
at last the farmer has found q fruit
to take the place of the luscious peach
and Ii is the Keiffer pear. Scores Of
Delaware farmers are now growing
these pears and deriving excellent
prices from the same. While q large
number of farmers are shipping their
pears at the station and at the Farmers
Preserving Company's factory at Ris-
Ing Sun, several of the largest growers
are selling their fruit 10 Isaac Robin.

From Sunday Star, Oct. 8.

From Sunday Star, Oct. 8.
The fact that Detectives McVey and
Witsil are not working harmoniously
accounts for the liberty of man susr
pected Of being implicated in starting
the incendiary fire at Moore's Grove
near Laurel, on last Sunday morning.
On that morning there were forty sum-
mer cottages wiped out, and several
persons who lost their homes in the
Laurel iire last July were left without
shelter. AS soon as the State authori'
ties we're acquainted with the facts
Detective McVey was detailed on the
case. He went to the scene and learn
ed of the origin of the fire. Two men
and two women were suspected. The
two women "talked. )" and the informa.
tion thus supplied led to the conclusion
that a man named William Thompson
was the person guilty Of arson. Thomp-
son had left for Little Greek, but Nc
Vey did not 60 after him. nor did be
attempt to provide for his capture by
any one else. Keeping his information
to himself, he returned to this city and
then speLt two days on trip to Cen
treville, Nd, to look at colored man
suspected Of the murder Of George D.
Farra. On Thursday two newspapers,
one in Philadelphia and the other in
Wilmington, published the fact that
Thompson was suspected. When Nc
Vey went to Little Greek on Friday the
suspect had disappeared. He had beer
reading the papers. Had McVey noti-
fed the other State Detective, the sus-
pect could have been arrested, as De-
tective Witsil was a. Georgetown at
tending court while McVey was at
Centreville. Or. had Witsil besn on
working terms'' with McVey, he
would undoubtedly have gone after
Thompson, On his own motion, and Sc
cured him, but as "the case was in Nc
Vey's hands" he declined TO interfere.
The State Of Delaware is paying |
these two detectives 81 200 each, per
year to catch violators of the law, but |
instead Of devoting their combined en-
ergies to this end, at least one-half of |
their Observation-Disclosures at the best
lis frittered away in case of "sulks."
The quarrel between these two worthies
dates back to the time when McVey
was charged with Improperly accepting
money from private parties for the dis
charge Of his duties, and with borrow
ing money from gamblers and saloon
keepers and forgetting to return it: It
appears that Witsil, in the matter Of
money from private parties,
was as deep in the mud as McVey was
10 the mire, and each, in an effort to
'aVe his own bacon, was ready to sacri.
ice the other. OIt OF this situation
grew the chilly feeling that now divides
hem, and the public interests must
Iuffer in consequence. There is an old
aging that when rogues fall out hon.
'st men get their dues, but this case
appears to be an exception, for McVey
ind Witsil still hold their commissions
IS State detectives, and criminals in
Delaware are enabled to profit thereby.

MILES OF TRADE KxHIBrrs

Some idea of the magnitude of the Euid-
ings of the National Export Exposition
and the convenient arrangements of exhibi-
tors booths and facilities for reaching
eve-v part of all the structures, is conveyed
by the fact that in the Main Building there
IL length of main aisles of over II 900 feet,
and length in The cross aisies Of 1900
feet, so that one who has walked through
all of the aisles of this building viii hsve
completed journey Of about five miles.
In the other buildings Of the Exposition
there are more than four miles of aisles.
Hence, to obtain even glimpse Of every
thing in the Exposition Grounds the visitor
must walk nearly ten miles. These aisles
are lined with . succession Of all that is
best and most interesting in American
manufactures. In the construction of the
buildings there we're used s,242,000 pounds
of structural steel, and this enormous mass
ofintricate work was erected within fifty
days from the dste upon which the con-
tract was signed.

the attractiveness Of their disl lays,
and that the crowds of sightseers will

AN EXHIBIT FOR FARMERS.

4
Machinery that saves money f,r the
farmer aud enables him to economics
In the matter of time as varied as
that in any other line of manufacture,
but 1t is only when the modern In agrir
cultural implements is brought together
from time to time, that the sturdy
tiller of the soil is enabled to form an
'ea as TO the advancement that is be.
ing made in the direction of tightening
his burden by diminishing his hours Of
toll and the Co t in dullars aud cents of
production. An exhibition that will
forcibly Impress upon the farmer the
progress that has been made in the pasi
few years along be line nf sol. tilling
and harvesting mechanism is PRESENTED
at the Philadelphia National Export
Exposi' ion, an entire building 160x450
feet beiEg devoted almost exclusively
to this purpose.
In this spacious structure are shown
the Indispensable cultivator, combining
every facility for producing the best re
sul:s with the least possible energy;
plpws that turn up the soil according to
tie latest improved scientific methods
and evoke words of praise from the
plowman while he hemewaFd plods his
weary way; rollers that give to the
ground the finishing touches prepara-
tory to seeding; mechanical planters
that bury the seed rapidly and with
regularity without wasting a single
grain; machinery for garnering and
slowing the crops that have come as
reward for toll and enterprise, and
great wagons for carrying the product
of the soil to market
Such in brief is the character of the
exhibit in the Exposition implement
building. so far as it appeals to fal mers
direct. A display Of road making ma
chimes helps to solve the good roads
problem, in which all humanity is in
terested.
Vehicles, from the light, airy, rubber
tired pleasure carriage to the ponder
GUS farm, ice and general utility wag-
on, are exhibited, likewise harness for
the horses that draw them. The exhi-
bition is the most complete Of It's kind
that has been presented since the Col
umbine exposition in Chicago, and
equally important from the fact that
it shows every advancement made
since 1893 in the production of farm
machinery. Up-to-date farmers will
take advantage of this practical, in
structive and profitable object lesson in |
modern mechanism for agriculturists,
and for every farmer of whatever de-
gree OF enterprise who inspects and |
studies this display there will be one
more who is the better able to compete |
with his rivals in reaching the markets |
of the world with bis products. He |
will sse practical demonstrations of |
the utility Of this modern machinery,
will hear its advantages extolled and
will ascertain where and how it may be |
acquired.
