A very touching incident hap

The music of the evening which,
by the way, was very fine, was
furnished by a tramp musician

who accompanied her fathers vio-

ian looked sorrowful and detected.
His figure, which was shabbily
attired, vas bent and he paid no
attention to the gayeties of the
evening but carressed his violin
in an distracted manner during
the intervals. The banquet was
closed by all standing and singing
Aud Lang Syne, led by Mrs.
Brodt of Rawlins. When the
last strain died away the old mu-
stefan raised his bow for the final
piece when it was stopped in mid
air by the voice of Mrs. Brodt,
who sang Home Sweet Home"

PURSE METERS
RUNNING SPORT

SportSmen, as Well as the Many Fish
ermen Who Earn a Livelihood Fishing
With Hook and Line, Vigorously Pre-
test Against the Violations of the Law
by the Purse Net Fishermen.
Unless purse-net fishing in the upper
waters Of Che Chesapeake Bay is kent with
in The bounds OF the law, the hook-and-
line fishing sport will he ruined. Aside
from the many sportsmen who every sum
mer 20 out from Havre de Grace, Betterton
and other points on the upper bay TO enjoy
the perch and rock fishing, there are hun
dreds Of men who are depending upon the
hook aud line fishing for a livelihood for
thei; families. The purse acts are reported
more numerous this year than ever before.
They drain the best OF the fishing grounds,
and only benefit their owners, while the
hook AID line fishing is pleasure as we'll
as living to thousands Of people.
Protests against this destruction Of the
individual fishing interests come from
Havre de Grace, Betterton and other places
During the summer season hundreds Of
sportsmen from Philadelphia and Bat-
more visit these points on the shore, and
employ boats and men to take them out
for rock and perch fishing. This gives en-
ployment to the boatmen and tishermen.
At the same tine tha poor fishermen who
depend upon their lines for living are
robbed by the fellows with the big nets.
The law, it is claimed, is not yet
stringent enough, and the new regulations
are not rigidly enforced. One fisherman
at Havre de Grace who for years has made
living by hook and line fishing in the
bay off Romney, writes that this season the
pursenetters have scooped up all the fish.
1t is urged that one of the state fishery
police boats be ordered to patrol the upper
bay and compel the purse meters to keep
within the regulation lines.
The state authorities will probably be
petitoned to detail police boat for this
purpose.

AT the outstart of the campaign in Mary
land conservative estimate Of the vote at
the November election places the majority
of Mr.. Mckinley at $4,000, with every
prospect thet the figure will be even
larger.
That his majority is not estimated at a
greater figure is due to the fact that the
Democrats have all the Offices in the city
and state. The incumbents OF these should
bring large vote TO the support OF the
ticket, In addition, they have the machin-
cry. This is in marked contrast to the
situation four years ago when Mr.. Mckin-
ley carried the state by over 80, 900 ma
iority. Then the Democrats were without
the offices, without the election machinery,
and without an organization. They had
been overwhelmingly defeated the year
before, and the presidential campaign
found them thoroughly demoralized.
The Republicans then had all the offices,
the election machinery, and the best organ
ization they had ever constructed in this
state. Now they have no offices, the cleo
tion machinery has slipped from their
grasp, but they have compact and we'll
drilled organization.
Still, majority of Is, GOO is just as good
for all practical purposes as 10000, as far
, as placing Maryland in the Mckinley
column is concerned.
That Mr.. Mckinley will sweep the state
from the mountains to the ocean, and that
he will be reelected by such majority
that free silver and some OF the unAmeri-
can issues on the Populistic platform will
be buried even beyond earshot of Gabriels
awakening trumpet, are wishes of many
sincere Democrats in Maryland, for with
the defeat OF the Populists, who are mask
ing in tbs guise Of Democrats, they realize
that they will be in position to steer their
party back into its proper course, and that,
above all, they will be in position to con-
tiHus in enatI0l in the state.
But as Maryland goes this year, SO will
Maryland 90 next year.
WHY REPUBLICAN Success.
But the causes that will contribute to
Republican success in Maryland in Nov
ember:
In the first place, Maryland is doubtful
state. Republicans when united have won.
Democrats when united have won. There
fore, it is a stand.off between the two
parties.
Conceding then that Maryland is a
doubtful state, or for sake of argument
with the Democrats, that with both parties
united they have majority Of 5000, what
is there in the situation in this state this
year that should yield different result
from that of 1896?
Absolutely nothing.
On the contrary, there are some phases
in the situation which should tend to in
crease rather than decrease the Republican
vote.
The times are more prosperous than in
1886 -Four years ago Mr.. Bryan's theories
held out panaoea for all human troubles
and fluctuations, and they were plentiful
enough as che time His theories were not
accepted. - Baltimore American.

THE PEACH CROP.

Arrangements for shipment of the great
peach crop which the peninsula is now
bringing forth, have been completed and
within a week the peaches will be on their
way to market. BY August LIST, it is ex-
pected that Milford, Bridgeville and some
other shipping points will be sending the
fruit away at the rate of fifty carloads a
day.
For some time the railroad company,
which will ship most Of the fruit, has been
completing arrangements for the carrying
of the fruit. There is more work in pre-
pairing these plans than might be supposed
The first thing done is to have Special
Agent l. n. Mills prepare the estimate OF
the crop. Upon this the railroad company
is guided in its plans. In this estimate
Agent Mills calls to his assistance the sta
tion agents at various shipping points
These station agents secure information
from the growers in their section, and il is
forwarded to Agent Mills, who, with The
information gained by his own inquiries,
puts it into shape and the estimate is COM
plete.
This season the estimate OF the railroad
company is between 100000 and 5000, :,

LIVE TELEGRAPH POLES
Stake and Fence Posts SprCut and Grow
After Planting.

1t is not an unusual thing for stakes or
poles planted green in the fall of the year
to sprout and grow foliage the next spring.
There is fine instance of this in Queens
town creek, Queen Amos county. The
intricate channel from Chester river to the
steamboat wharves at Queenstown, is
marked with green chestnut and poplar
stakes cut from the woods and planted last
fall. Some OF them budded and put forth
foliage in the spring, which is growing into
branches and on few OF them branches
stakes to take root in the creek mud, and
this summers growth will perish with the
season, never to return.
Sometimes, but very seldom, stake or
pole cut from tree and set in the ground
takes root and makes another tree. There
is fine example of this in Locust Neck,
posts in the ground were used in building
a post cap and rail fence. The end of each
post was to 90 through the hole in the cap.
From one OF them sprout put out below
the cap. The sprout became a twig, the
twig q branch, which became limb and
has grown into large, outrageous locust
tree tree can be grown from the twig
of almost any kind of poplar. except the
lombardy. On rail and rider fences, the
riders planted in the ground green, often
bear leaves, but very seldom live very long.
We live in a country OF which the prin-
cipal scourge is stomach-trouble.
1t is more widespread than any other
disease, and, very nearly, more dangerous.
One thing that makes it 80 dangerous is
that ia is 50 little understood.
Fit were better understood, it would be
more 2aarcd, more easily cured, less ami

Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it goes
to the root Of the trouble as no other medi-
cine does. The pure, harmless, curative
