A BIG PEACH CROP.
The Fruit Trees In Cecil County Promise
A Large Yield-David Gilpin Has a
Promising Young Orchard.

Promising Young Orchard.
From present indications the peach crop
in Cecil county this year promises to be the
largest for a number of years. David Gilpin
farmer residing about two miles north of
Elkton, brought to Elkton, one day the
past week, small peach branch about
thirty inches in length and on the three
sprigs there were fifty three healthy-look-
ing young peaches. He says nearly every
tree in his entire young orchard is laden
equally as heavy with fruit and that unless
half the fruit drops off the trees will not
be able to hold the fruit until matured.
Reports from all over this peninsula
show that the crop of peaches this year will
be large one. In proportion to the num-
Der of trees now on the peninsula it is
claimed the crop will be the largest in the
history of the peninsula. OF course, there
are not half so many trees as there were
several years, when the peninsula had
crops of from 100000 to 10000, 600
baskets; and so the crop will not, of course,
be so large when the whole number of
baskets are considered. Even the June
drop is not expect to materially affect the
crop.
The strawberry crop which is now being
gathered on this peninsula, is turning out
well for the growers. The prices being
realized are good.

house committee on naval affairs, has re-
ceived from Admiral Dewey copy Of
a memorandum prepared by that officers
aide, Lieutenant II. H. Caldwell, upon the

possible the occupation of Manila bay by

Freight agents in this city are discussing
the subject of the Lake Shore in securing
a contract for moving 100000 pounds of
gun motors from the Sandy Hook proving
grounds to Fort Wilson, in the state of
Washington, which success. it is said, is
entirely due to the cutting of the rate by
from three to five cents.
The contract was secured by the repre-
sentative of the Color line of freight at
Philadelphia. His original bid, it is said,
was two cents below the regular rate, but
when this became known and new bids
were asked for he cut the rate still fur
ther. The motors will be moved via the

ern and Great Northern. All of these
roads excepting the Lake Shore and pos
sibly the Chicago Northwestern, 1t Is
claimed, will get their full proportional

SHAMROCK DAY
WAS CELEBRATED
IN ALL BRITAIN,

London, March 17.-Shamrock day
promises to vie with primrose day judg-
Ing from the enthusiasm with which, for
the first time in the history of the ma
tion, loyalists all over the united king
dom are celebrating and everywhere
green is conspicuous. From Windsor
castle. where the queen observed the day
by wearing sprig of Shamrock, to the
east end of the slums of London where
the ragged urchin glories in his morsel of
green weed, nearly every one sports
something in the shape of green.
Word from her majesty has turned the
emblem Of semi -disoyalty into badge
of honor and has made the shamrock the
most priced of all plants in the British
isles. The ancient ceremony Of Troop
ing Colors at Dublin Castle" was especi-
ally picturesque. 1t was performed to-
day in the presence of the Lord Lieuten-
ant of Irelan, Earl Cadegan, Duke of
Connaught, commander-in-chief of the
forces in Ireland, and a brilliant assem-
blage. All the troops wore the shamrock.
