TEMPERANCE INCREASING.
The Avenues of Recreation Having its Ef.
feet in DiscOuraging the Use of
Liquor.

There is no doubt in the minds of
those who look into the matter that the
growth of the temperance idea is steady
and lasting. There is less immoderate
drinking, man for man, than there
ever was. The avenues of recreation
and entertainment opened by the cleo
trio roads, the steam roads, the steam
boats, the bicycle, etc., have all done
their part in discouraging drinking of
intoxicating liquor. The use of beer
in itself has done much to restrict the
use of stronger liquids.
At this time the records of arrest for
drinking and offences the result thereof
are more complete than ever before
and the showing is made bad enough
in all reason. When the growth of
population is considered those who
revel in statistics concerning the wrong
use OF liquor must figure out their
own percentages and compare
them with the figures of years ago.
The railroad companies are doing much
to encourage habits of sobriety, and
other employing companies are doing
good work in the same direction.
The drinking habit is now taken by
most employers as disbarring man
from work. There can be but one re-
sult-less immoderate drinking. The
temperance societies and the churches
are the great agents in advocating
and encouraging temperate habits, and
and the outlook is excellent.

ADDICKS PLAYING COWBOY.
Royalty Received Wherever He Goes in the
West.

State Senator J. Frank Alice, chair
man of the Union Republican party of
Delaware, has returned home from his
four weeks trip with j. Edward Ad-
dicks and party, prospecting through
the West, particularly. in Arizona,
where both are interested in the devel-
Opment of some copper mines, and for
which they have incorporated COM
pany.
"We had taste of pioneer Western
life," said the Senator. 'We not only
gallOped over the mountains and
prairie in a stage coach for seventy
three miles, with relay of burros, but
we now know what it is to strap side
of bacon and some crackers on a
bronco buster and then get on our
selves, in true cowboy fashion. In
every section of the West where we
visited, Mr.. Addicks was shown as
much marked attention as though he
had been at the head of the National
Government.

Why Mosquitoes Bite.

Just why the mosquito bites people
is not yet known. 1t is not to furnish
it food, for it is an established fact that
a mosquito, after gOrging himself with
human blood, dies within few hours !;
whereas mosquitoes that have never
tasted blood have been known to live
very comfortably even through the en-
tire winter and into the next season.
The adult mosquito does not need food.
During its larvae stage it has stored
up enough nourishment to last all it's
life, and it is a normal state for it to
go without for the rest of its existence.
All that it needs is moist air, adult
mosquitoes being known to pass the
winter in damp cellars, living on moth
ing but the moisture. The fact that it
is estimated that only 1 out of 10000
ever tastes human blood also proves
that it is not necessary. Why it per.
sists in torturing mankind, therefore,
has not yet been found out, and sci
entists can only swear softly with the
rest of mankind and make the general
statement that the mosquito is born
with a vitiated appetite for human
gore-an appetite that causes the
death of the indulger.

Delaware Not Certain for Bryan.

United States Senator Kenney and
State Senator Stephen Slaughter are
participating in the Democratic enthus-
iasm for Bryan and free coinage in
Chicago.
Former Speaker of the Senate John
B. DOrman said: "The Bryan senti-
ment hasn't shown much strength as
yet in Sussex; in fact, not so much so
as two years ago by jug full" He
thought that the Democrats were con-
frOnted more with the question of saw
ing lives than with that of making
money just at this time, and believed
that Admiral Dewey is the man to
place on top, if it is true that he de-
clared that the Filipinos are capable of
governing themselves.
Register James A. Smith, however,
is confident that in his county of Kent,
40 of every 80 Democrats are Bryan
men.

DOVER SHADE TREES.
The Secret of DOver's Beauty Marred by
the Constant Decrease of Trees.

the Constant Decrease of Trees.
The following is an extract from an
article in a Dover paper, but will ap-
ply as we'll to the condition of Smyrna
as Dover:
eff anyone will stop for a moment to
consider he will discover that the
bOasted beauty of Dover lies mainly in
its we'll shaded streets. Our houses
are pretty and, in not few instances,
ornate, but they are not especially
grand or handsome structures. When
Dover lays claim to beauty it must be
through its fine old trees. Despite
this very palpable fact, each succeed
ing year sees a constantly decreasing
number of these most beautiful of the
products of nature. A very fever for
hacking, cutting down and mutilating
would seem to have taken hold of
many of our citizens. A tree requires
almost mans allotted life time to grow
into perfect maturity, and yet these
modern vandals destroy them as
though they were of annual growth.
What with present telephone poles,
proposed electric lights, and possible
trolleys, united with this irreverence
of this most splendid product of the
vegetable kingdom, there seems to be
little hope for the preservation of our
own beauty.
Perhaps this might be very different
if our people really understood their
rights regarding trees. The impress
sion appears to be prevalent that the
town owns all the trees within its linn
its and that the private citizen must
submit to the dictates of the officials.
There could be no greater mistake
than this. Every owner of property,
owns to the very middle of the public
road or street in front of his property
All the right that the town or the
public has in the road or street is the
right to passage. The town may com
pei him to pave the street, because that
is more convenient for travel. Out
side of protection to travel and public
convenience, neither the town nor the
public has any right whatever in the
road or street.

REED AND RAIL BIRDS.
Local Gunners are Talking of the POssibii-
ties of the Season.

Local gunners are now taking obser-
vatiOn to find out the prospects for the
reed and the rail bird season. The
chances are that there will be more
rail bird shooting than for many years,
but the reed bird season will be short.
The reason given for the short reed
bird season is that the reeds are now
ripening and will be several weeks ear
lier than usual. The birds will there
fore be here some time before the gun
ming season opens on September 1, and
will leave before the gunners have
much chance at them. There will be
plenty of birds while the shooting
lasts. Rail birds will not be affected
in this way and the birds are expected
to be numerous.
Local gunners are now after wood
cock, but few of them are having any
success in that line. It requires con-
siderable skill to find the birds, and
also to get to them when found

"HIS NAME WAS SAMPSON"

When the Spanish fleet for long weeks lay
At the head of Santiago Bay,
Who gathered our ships from North and

And drew them across the harbor mouth,
A Gordon which never foe passed by

Who, tireless and patient with foresight
keen,
Ordered the daily discipline,
Set every ship i'll her destined place,
Ripe for attack or ready for chase;
Ruling the whole with sleepless eye
Now, was it Sampson or was it Schley?

Who fought and won on the Admiral :

QUEER TOMATO PLANTS.
Growing From Seeds of Vegetables that
Had Been Boiled.

A lady of Findlay, Ohio, last fall
made quantity of ketchup, and after
thoroughly cooking the tomatoes bur-
led the refuse, including the seeds, in
the ground in the rear yard.
This spring she was astonished to
find a perfect wilderness of plants
growing up in the spot where the seeds
were buried, and is now anxiously
awaiting the ripening of the tomatoes
from these plants to see what kind of a
new variety has been produced that
the seed can stand boiling and then a
20 degree below zero freezing, with
out destroying their vitality. She
thinks it would be too much to expect
ketchup bottles on each plant.

DECLINE OF PEACH ORCHARDS
MILLIONS OF FINE TREES DEVASTATED
BY THE YELLOWS.
State EntOmOlOgist johnson Investigating
the Maryland and Delaware
Peach Belt.

State Entomologist William G. John
son, assisted by Messrs. Gould and
Stewart, have commenced an exhaus-
tive investigation of soil and other
conditions existing in the Kent county
Md, peach belt. The work was COM
menced on Eastern Neck Island, the
lower southernly extremity of the
county, section in which the peach
yellows has never reached. From this
point the Investigations will be made
toward the north, into the section from
which the devastation of the yellows
cleared out several millions of as fine
trees as ever grew in the celebrated
Maryland and Delaware peach belt. A
record of soil analysis, specimens of
vegetable and insect life will be made
and minute chart made of the entire
section touched. Prof. johnson esti-
mates that from three to five weeks
may be required to complete the
work.
The great Ground Top" or chord,
just across Chester River, in Qneen
Anne's, which for many years was the
largest peach orchard in the world,
has given away to other crops. The
same is true of peach orchards in other
sections once famous for abundance.
The cause for the forced abandonment
of this once great peach producing ter.
ritOry by peach growers is the work
which Professor johnson has in hand.
