The Prospect Park Agricultural
Fair.

The lirs, annual agricultural fair OF the
Prospc2; Parl Racing and Fair Association
which is 10 be held at Prospect Park on
September 18th ard 18th inclusive, is at
tracing unusual interest, not only in and
around Baltimore, but here in Cecil county.
The unusual HhlralIty Of the promoters
of the Prospect Association in their prem
ium lists have attracted the very finest list
Of exhibits in Maryland, and many foreign
attractions will be on hand.
In discussing the prospects with your
! correspondent, President Henry A. Brehm
said:-"Our object is to give Maryland the
best county fair it has ever seen, and with
this object in view we have been unsparing
in spending money. There will not be a
minutes drag from the time of entering the
gates until you leave. Our list of exhibits
is the finest ever gotten together, and be-
sides them we have engaged the best
amusement attractions money can secure
and free exhibitions will be found on all
sides A novelty never before seen in
! MARYLAND will be irst-class vaudeville acts
! between the heats of the races, which will
do away with the long waits, and the races
| will be the best ever seen around this part
of the country, as we have offered large
enough purses to bring the best horses in
the country"
Prospect Park is an ideal place for a
county fair, being situated on Back river,
Baltimore county, with everything in spick
and spand new condition, and not in the
broken down condition Of the average fair
grounds, and the track is one Of the best
and fastest in Maryland.

The Island of Negros is mountainous
and wild It's coasts are difficult Of ac-
cess, and the breakers strong except on
the west coast. A high mountain
chain crosses 1t from Point Doong on
the north to the harbor and point of
Bombonon on the south; from the last
third extend several ramifications of
high mountains, terminating at the
coast on the extreme south and in the
Sierra Dumaguete. Its streams are
not important, being short and Of little
volume. The ground is uneven but
fertile. The natives irrigate their es-
tate, and produce tobacco, coffee, sugar
cane and wheat. Manufactures consist
in fabrics of abaca and canonegro, Of
which boat cables are made. The in
terror of the island, covered with thick
forests, is almost unexplored, being in
habited-by a few savages. There are
in the island 49 pueblos, Al barrios and
40 rancherias of subdued infieles.
The east coast OF Negros is bordered
by a reef, which extends more than a
mile from 1t. Layers of coal have re-
Gently been discovered in this part of
Negros, and outcrops of coal are visible
In the rivers which enter the sea near
the towns of Calatrava and Talabe.
The province of Western Negros is
situated ON NegrOs Island, and it's pop
ulation is 226.995.
The capital is BacolOd, inhabited by
nearly 1000 natives. Western Negros
has 25 towns, all of which have over
1000 inhabitants.
Eastern Negros on the same island
has II towns, with an average popula-
ton of from 1000 to 10000. The capi-
tai of Eastern Negros is Dumaguete.
The natives have been very thought
full in indicating the entrance to Point
Pandan, which lies on a narrow strait,
by stakes that have been driven into
one and one-half to two fathoms of
water. The entire coast of Negros Of
fers protection in this way for incom-
ing vessels.
While the coast line of all the islands
Of the Philippine group is very irregular
and broken, there are long stretches of
canals and passages between them, but
these are not always navigable
Although these islands are situated
in the region adapted to the growth OF
corals, the scarcity of this formation is
accounted for by the presence of vol
canic fires and the occasional deluge
Of hot water, which prevents the
growth of the polyps.

EXPENSIVE SUFFERING.
Colonel Davis Talks by Long Dis-
tance Telephone 20 Boston.

Colonel Davis TaIks by Long Dis-
tance Telephone 20 Boston.
Charles A. Davis, envoy extraordin-
airy and minister plenipotentlary at
large for a well-known circus, is a
most picturesque and accomplished
stutterer. Mr.. Davis withal Is dlgni-
fed, distinguished and decorous, and
resents bitterly aay indication on the
part of his hearer that he has not a
free flow of speech. Once in apologize
ing for his failure to keep an appoint
ment with a friend he started to ex-
plain about the accident which had be-
fallen his train.
Il have j-j-j-ust arrived in the s-s-s-
s-s-s-s-" He was hopelessly an
chored to that word. and his benevo-
lent friend mildly suggested.
"Cityf
"N-n-n-n-n-ool" shrieked Davis,
with a gesture of insxpresslble dis
gust. "D-d-d-d-d-darn it, the t-t-t-t-t
town, darn it, the town."
Recently, Colonel Davis was led to
break his rule of steering clear Of tele-
phones. He was anxious Immediately
to adjust a bit of business with John
Lewis of Boston. He went to the long
AAclunIt AtAllnOnb at Tue iAUAGA AuiAN
in New York, had Mr.. Lewis called up,
and courageously began the task Of
making his wishes known Nine
tenths Of the conversation consisted Of
repetitions Of the same consonaBts.
Colonel Davis has known what 1t was
to have trouble with consonants, but
on this occasion all his previous ex-
periences we're surpassed. Consonants
arose like mountains to check his pro-
gress. But perseverance finally made
good its reputation for conquerlng all
difficulties, and Colonel Davis COM
pleted his arrangements, the telephone
remaining intact. Davis, with look
of deep relief, came forth from the box,
wiped his brow, cracked the drip of his
finger-ends and offered payment. The
girl In charge, with smile, said:
It'll cost you $40, sir"
"G-g-gr- great II ii II Heavens!"
cried Davis, 81 thought the rate was a
d-d-d-dol-dollar and s-ss-s-seventy-f-i-
ff-five."
That's for flve minutes talk We
charge extra for each additional min
ute"
Colonel Davis slowly brought forth
a roll of bills from. an inner pocket
and murmured as he paid the $40:
'N-n-n-next t-t-t-time I'll s-a-v-e T.
t-t-time and m-m-money by t-t-takins
