Special Correspondence to the Times.
CHEswoLD, Sept. 1S.-The dry, hot
weather the last three weeks has
ripened fodder very rapidly and our
farmers have been rushed, especially
those who have had both tomatoes
and fodder to look after. Tomatoes
came on last week with a rush and
to all appearances will end up as
quickly. Early patches are now about
done and this week it is thought will
leave but little of the tomato sea-
son of 1900.
Mr.. John Moore, tenant on the D..
F. Loose farm, loaded of his own

WOMEN MUST WEAR HATS.
Bishop Coleman Opposed to Ladies Attending
Divine Services Bareheaded.

Rt. Rev. Leighton Coleman, Episco-
pal Bishop of Delaware, has stirred up
considerable discussion among attend
ants of Episcopal Churches, says the
Wilmington San, by his recent utter
ances on the subject of women appear
ing in church bareheaded. During
the summer the custom of women at
tending service without any head COW
ering has grown amazingly, but the
Bishop disapproves of the practice and
in an endeavor to discourage it in this
diocese he recently said:
"Next thing we shall hear of men
wishing to go there in their shirt
waists" He added that there is
enough of irreverance shown the house
of God not to allow anything else to be
added on the score.
Many ladies favor the new fashion,
but since the utterance of the Bishop
in disapproval of it, it is not thought
likely that bareheaded women will be
much seen in Episcopal churches.

This will notify anyone who is har-
boring boys from this institution that
they are liable to prosecution. Since
several of the boys are now employed
in our neighborhood against our will,
we will be forced to prosecute them
according to law in case they continue
to harbor the boys. We hope they will
at once dismiss the boys that they may
return to the home and save this un-
pleasant action of resorting to law.
Any of the boys now away from the
home are welcome to return. If they
have not reported here at the home by
Saturday night we intend to take steps
to apprehend them and then place them
in a reformatOry. Anyone knowing
the whereabouts of these boys, or per-
sons who are harboring them will do
us favor to report the same to Squire
j. S. Casperson of Clayton, or to the
Rector of the home.
