BOWERS BEACH.
Bowers. Del.

Ihe quantity OF trout caught by the
many who engage in this business here
with nets has been the smallest this
season known for many years. The
quantity caught is but sufficient to sup
ply the hucksters, and few of the
fishermen have laid aside their nets
for the season owing to the scarcity.
AS the season has just opened for the
catch of trout with the hook and line,
q few were caught the past week by
those who enjoy the sport
.Reece & Wilson, supervisors of the
Cannery at this place, are making prep
arations for the canning season. The
factory is being refiuted and cans are
being shipped from Baltimore. Over
100000 cans arrived by vessel to-day,
and are being stored in the factory at
this writing. The acreage OF tomatoes
contracted for by these men is much
larger than that of last year. and they
anticipate running ON puch larger
fcale than ever
The Hotel Hubbard, called Kent
Cottage, on Murderkill river, is being
put in first class order. The painters
are beautifying the inside, while a
number of hands are employed in grad
ing the terrace in front of the building.
When completed this will add much to
the looks Of the property, as well as
convenience. Col. L. e. johnson took
possession on Monday last and he will
do all in his power to accommodate his
patrons the present year.

The creamery of Robert Blocksom
at Magnolia, has been removed from
its former place near Barkers' Landing

Appointing a
TRUSTEE

A man in making his will often
leaves certain sum of money to be
held in trust for one or more ,of his
children, the income to be paid to them
until they reach a certain age when
the principal is to be handed overtOk
them. He does this not because he
does not wish them to have it at his
decease and enjoy its benefits, but be-
cause he hesitates placing the respon-
slbility of the investment of his money
on their young shoulders and is anX-
ious to avoid the risk of their being
approached by unreliable persons who
might persuade them to invest their
money in all sorts of schemes, result
ing in loss of part of, if not of all
the principal. Then he may leave a
sum of of money to be held in trust for
his wife during her life time, or por-
ton of his estate for the use of a
charitable institution during it's ex-
istence. Hence few OF the many
reasons for the appointment of a
Trustee.

cally perpetual existence and can man

sisting of nine directors of the COM

FAVORED BY Mr.. GAGE
ESTABLISHMENT OF A NATIONAL
STANDARDTZING BUREAU.
Benefits That Would Result Pointed
Out by the Sccrctary-Rittman
Appointed Fourth Auditor.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Senators Nelson
and Turner. sitting a subcommittee or
the Senate committee on commerce, to-day
heard arguments in support of the measure
row pending in the Senate providing for the
establishment OF a national standardizing
bureau. Among those heard We're Secre-
tary Gage. Prof. o. III. Tittman, superin-
tendent of the coast and geodetic survey,
and also OF the present Bureau OF Weights
and Measures; Prof. W. F. Stratton, In
spector of weights and measures under the
present organization, and also professor or
physics in the Chicago University, anc
Prof. III. A. Rowland, professor of physics
OF Johns Hopkins University. They ex-
planned the object of the bill and urged the
growing Importance of a complete standard
izing bureau under government direction.
Secretary Gage reported that such an in
stitution is becoming more and more i'm
portant as the years go by. His opinion OF
the Importance of the proposed bureau, as
well as that of the other witnesses, is sum-
married. in a memorandum printed for the
use of the committee from which the fol-
lowing is an abstract. Until recent years
this work has been confined to problems
concerned with the standards of length,
mass, capacity and temperature; but the in
creased exercise of accuracy demanded in
scientific and commercial measurements.
and the exceedingly rapid progress of pure
and applied science have increased the
scope of such work until it includes many
important branches of physical and chemi-
cal research, requiring for its successful
performance a complete laboratory, fitted
for undertaking the most refined measure
ments known to modern science the IN
PRODUCTION of accurate scientific methods
into manufacturing and commercial pro-
cesses involves the use of a great variety
of standards of far greater accuracy than
formerly required An accurate knowledge
of the high temperature OF furnace OF a
refinery, or the low temperature OF re-
frigerating process is often essential to the
economical working of the process. Enor-
nous commercial transactions are daily
based upon the reading Of electrical meas
uring apparatus, inaccuracies of which IN
volve great injustice and financial losses;
hence the national bureau should be in a
position to calculate or test electrical stand
ards of all kinds for commercial as well as
the most refined scientific work.
Professor Tittman made an argument Tor
the establishment of the bureau on consti-
tutional grounds, calling attention to the
fact that the Constitution empowers Con-
gress to fix the standard of weights and
measures He contended that fixed stand
ards lie at the foundation of good govern
ment, and called attention to the measures
adopted by Germany and Great Britain In
the direction proposed by the pending Dill
for this country.
The bill contemplates the erection of a
building in Washington for the use of the
bureau and for the selection of a complete
staff to take charge of the work.
