The harbor police have funny experiences
sometimes.
Not Law breakers.
Only short time ago the Waterman at
one of the big piers on this river sent in
a hurry call for the harbor police.
steam launch was sent quickly to the
place where some thieves were reported
TO be operating under the pier. The po-
licemen ran as close as they could and
threw the rays of q dark lantern under
the pier. Sure enough, there were some
men In q boat keeping suspiciously quiet
Come out of there" called the rounds
man.
"S-h-hr answered the men. you'll
scare every blamed eel out of the river"
When they did come out they showed the
policemen half a bOatload of cells, and
said that Il was a condemned shame that
a peaceabe and honest occupation should
be destroyed by plagney policemen who
were paid to protect just such industries.
l asked an old boatman the other day
IL he had ever run across anything of
value floating in the river
well, yes" said he, Il once found n
foater and the family gave me 500 for
resculng It," Then he fetched a tremen-
dously long wink and added: There was
over $500 in money and gold watch, too,
He did not seem to think he had done
anything to be ashamed Of in robblng the
body for which the friends had paid him
so generously. He also told me of another
boatman who one morning, years ago,
found a bateau afloat with a mans body
in II. The man had been shot. II was
subsequently found to be the body of Gus
Sackow, whom Policeman Musgrove had
killed in a night battle Over a hundred
shots were exchanged between the police
man on the dock and Sackow and two pals
in the boat. sockows pals were never
heard Of after that and 1t Is supposed that
the policeman killed all three OF the river
thieves
The HnrbOr's Dead.
But the harbor does not always give
up its dead so easily. There is one little
bay on Staten Island near to The gov

NUMBER THIRTEEN OUT OF THE

NUMBER THIRTEEN OUT OF THE
POPULATION OF 1853.
Bowers Del. Oct. 23.-The average
number of inhabitants of this place Is
1853. Out of this number there are thir-
teen bachelors, who have never given
1t a thought; who do not know that
earth has nothing more tender than a
pious woman's heart, or that in the
darkest hour of earthly i'll, woman s
fond affections grow and are as pure
and as bright as the rainbow at night
DR.. Thomas d. Hubbard has a very
fertile farm near this place. While
viewing a field of corn Of fifty-fve
acres, II was surprising to see that lit
tie Delaware contained such fertile
soil and grew such large corn. Two
stalks were found, one of which meas
ured IA feet inches, carrying two
mammoth ears. No. measured 13 feet
3 inches, carrying three ears not quite
so large as on stalk No. /. These are
only a specimen of the corn that fills
the doctors prolific field.
The delicious oyster, the palatable
rock fish, the beautiful perch and the
Timber eel are being caught daily this
bright Autumn weather.

This evening extra services will
commence at the M. E. Church at that
place under the leadership of Rev. ]. ID.
Kemp.
On Sunday last Harvest Home ser
vices were held at Bowers Church. The
church was beautifully trimmed with
flowers and the exhibits of fruits and
vegetables and cereals were grand and
In abundance. The exercises, which
consisted of singing and recitations by
the children, were excellent and de-
serve special mention. A solo was sung
by little 7-year-old girl, Laura Wood,
which would have been creditable to
anyone who had been trained for years.
An eloquent address by the pastor, Rev.
j. ID. Kemp. closed the exercises. At
the close of his remarks he told the
congregation what their proportiOnate
part of the conference collections for
this year was and in less time than II
took to explain the matter every cent

Chimney climate.

Chimney climate" is the latest for
the climate that is to be found in all
large cities. says the Boston Transcript.
Its characteristics, says a man of
learning, are mildness, absence Of rain
and frequency Of fog as compared with
surrounding rural districts. And he
gives a very clever explanation Of the
presence Of the fog. It is actually man
ufactured right under our eyes. You
know IL you look crOsswise at a s1in-
beam you see in It a myriad of very
small particles of dust, so densely
crowded together that some scientists
even attribute to them the color OF the
sky. And there is also about us an int
visible vapor and this combines with
the particles to give us fog. Il ma
be so. It sounds reasonable enougi
when one takes into consideration tn
fact that fogs are more frequent II
large manufacturing cities than else
where. But IL it be so, what are met
of science about that they don't fin,l
an antidote for the evil?
