CONSUMPTION In A TENT.
Open Air Treatment seems to be
Curing Lindsay >.
Kitchens.

Lindsay S. Kitchens aged 2l years, son
OF Joseph Kitchens, well-to-do farmer
residing on farm about twenty minutes
walk from Stanton's railroad passenger
station who was apparently dying with
consumption is apparently being cured
by the open air treatment.
He was taken i'll last January. He was
seized with hemorrhage of the lungs.
The bleeding continued until lie had sui.
fered about twelve hemorrhages, and was
apparently gcing to the grave at rapid
pace.
DIR. Springer of Newport and Dr.
Charles M. Ellis OF Elkton held con-
suitation over HE case and decided that
the case should be left to nature and that
the young man should live outdoors and
medicine should be given up.
A tent was placed near the house and
the invalid placed on cot in it. He was
so weak that he could not hold up his
head. This was last June and be has
been improving rapidly ever since. When
placed in the open air he first weighed
1874 pounds but now tips the scales at 1872
pounds. He may be left in the tent all
winter and the doctors believe that the
treatment will be all that is necessary for
his complete recovery.

Peach trees are in muny Instances

their work after paying the freight
The distileries scattered through the
State have practically stopped buying
peaches, being swnmppd with them.
1t is the same with the canneres
and therefore farmers whose peaches
are specially small have 10 market for
them even if satisfied with small prices.
At Harrington, Del. peaches were
selling yesterday rs low as cents a bas-
ket and to cents ut Seaford. At
otlcf llolhtS peacHeS VI II pelteT uuilitH
sold for 20 cents Il basket while unusu-
ally fine ones brought 20 cents basket.
The peaches are in such condition, be-
ing not solid, that it does not pay to
ship them to New York. This is where
the largest part Of Delaware's yield al
ways goes.
When the WELD is good. prices run as
high as $1.OO to SITE Il basket while 70
cents is considered fair price for
peaches Of ordinary quality.
Apples are also low in price, the dis
tilleries paying cents basket.

THE MARCH TO PEKING.
Undated Dispatch From Chnffee
Showing Progress of Allies.


washington. Aug. 15.-The navy de
partment has made public dispatch
from Admiral Remey announcing the ar.
rival of General Chaffee at Matow. the
next town of Importance after Ho-Si-Wu,
which the Americans occupied with
slight opposition on the 9th inst. The
text of the dispatch, which was filed at
Taku Aug. II, is as follows:
"Just received an undated dispatch
from Chaifee; Matow yesterday; opposi
tion of no consequence vet; terrible heat,
many men PROSTATE. Please inform Sec
retary of war"
N 1t will be seen from this message that
the date of General Chaffee's arrival at
Matow is uncertain. 1t is taken at the
navy department to mean that Matow
was occupied on the previous day, the
11th, and that the opposition was slight,
both on the road and in taking the town.
Matow is about II miles by road from
& Ho-Si-Wu, and the road, as indicated
on the war department map, is of the
worst possible character. Matow is not
walled city, and no serious opposition
was expected there. 1t is about IL miles
by road from Matow TO Ching-C Chia Wan
which is really the suburb of the walled
city of Tung-Chow and the key to the
gates of Peking. If General Chaffee was
at Matow on the 11th it is quite possible

Flowers Strewn in Kruger's
Pathway at The Hague.

The Hague, Dec. 6-Mr. Kruger arriv-
ed here today and was greeted at the
station by the burgomaster and counsel
lors.
A choir of 600 men and girls chanted
psalm 2. verses 6, T. and IL. The former
president and his suite then repaired to
the royal waiting room. where the burgo-
master warmly welcomed them in
brief speech. Then followed DR.. Sphinx,
the president of the local South African
association, in a long welcoming address,
assuring Mr.. Kruger of the deep SyInpa-

hoped that the great powers who had re-
Gently assembled at the peace conference
would not have permitted that in South
Africa, the right of nations, the right of
war and civil, law, should be trampled
under foot, or little nation be sacrificed
in an unequal combat in defense OF its
existence
The address, after a long eulogy of the
heroism of the Beers, proceeded to liken
Mr. Kruger to William the Silent, who
sacrificed everything for the welfare of
his people, and concluded:
May your reliance on the Almighty,
similar to that of the Prince of Orange,
support you, Mr.. President in the ardu-
Gus fight for right and liberty and may
the liberty of your nation crown your
courage. Then will Great Britain have
learned the lesson OF how dangerous it is
to attempt to throttle the independence
of a free nation
Mr.. Kruger, his suite and the reception
committee, proceeded in open carriages
to the Hotter Des Indies, which was re-
splendent with flags and bunting. There
a bevy of ladies, headed by the Baroness
Van Harinxma, greeted the Boer states
man and a choir sang a hymn. Mr. Kru-
ger then mounted the staircase, preced
ed by three girls strewing blossoms. On
his arrival in the reception room, the
baroness presented Mr.. Kruger with a
bouquet.
The first chamber has authorized it's
president to welcome Mr.. Kruger in be-
half of the house as proof of its sympa-
thy,
