SUNDAY AT ASBURY NJ. E. CHURCH.
Rev. Vaughan S. Collins Gives Strong Ser
mon on "The Apostles Creed"

In his series of sermons on the
Apostles Creed" Rev. V. S. Collins
on Sunday morning, gave his atten-
tion to that expression 81 bel1ev IN tie tie
Holy Catholic Church., &c. He said
that it was declaration of faith used
hundreds of years before the Roman
Catholic Church was formed the word
"Catholic" having the sense of general
as applied to the worshipers of Christas
the son of God. The word "episdopes"
which meant originally an overseer or
boss, included the Greek Church,
Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Methodist,
Episcopal or any denomination that
had a Bishop at its head. He in
cluded them all as followers of Christ
and did not see any hope of SalvatieP
for those who did not attach them
selves to some branch of the
Christian Church. Presiding Elder
Corkran who preached at night, dis
coursed with more than usual fervor on
the christian, the workmanship of God.

FIRST HARVEST AT SMYRNA ICE PLANT.

Was Cut Yesterday and Found to be En-
tirely SatisfactOry-PrOspet Encouraging.
The first ice of the Smyrna Ice and
Cold Storage Company Plant of Smyrna
Landing was cut yesterday and put on
the market. 1t was entirely satisfac-
tory; clear and beautiful. The delays
incident to new enterprises in getting
entirely and satisfactorily adjusted,
was experienced, during which time the
supply was gotten from Dover, but
hereafter they will be supplied by their
own plant. They have four driven
wells that supplies the water, cool and
sparkling and the ten ton plant will be
able to meet both home and foreign
demand. Smyrna and Clayton will
receive first attention, followed speed
lily by the demands from other towns.
1t looks as if the machine will have de-
mands to it's full capacity all the sum-
mer and fall, and possibly through the
winter. Some flowers and cherries
frozen in the ice showed the latter re-
markable clearness.

PROSPECT FOR HEAVY WHEAT YIELD.
Wheat is Ripeniug Rapidly and viii be Ready
to Harvest In About Ten Days.

The wheat is ripening to the harvest
some ten days of, and it looks like as
if there will be heavy yield of both
wheat and straw. The crop from all
the States promises to be good, which
indicates lower instead of higher
prices. Dun's report on Saturday
said: d" Wheat declined to more rea-
sonable level with the withdrawal of
speculative support. The government
report of condition of June 1st was
chiefly responsible. A crop this year
equal to the greatest ever harvested
was indicated by the official statement
and as department figures have gene
rally proven below the final yield,
there was heavy selling of options,
with a fall below 80 cents for cash
wheat at New York.

WHOLE FAMILY SUPPOSED
TO HAVE BEEN DROWNED
DISTRESSING TALE REVEALED IN A NOTE
BOTTLED AND WASHED ASHORE.
Frederick Lane, of Bombay Hook island, Finds
the CuriOuS Note on the Bay Shore at
His Farm and Makes it Public.

While walking along the shore of
the Delaware Bay on his farm on Bonn
bay Hook Island Monday morning,
Mr.. Frederick Lane, of near Woodland
Beach, came across bottle which had
been washed ashore, containing note.
Curious to know its contents, he un-
corked the bottle and read the strange
writing. 1t was dated June 10th and
told a distressing tale of father,
mother and their four children who
were cast away at Ship John Light.
Evidently they were caught in a gale
and ship wrecked for they speak of the
rigging blowing away and of the grave
fear entertained that they would never
reach shore. Seeing nothing but death
before them a note was put in bottle,
giving information which they wished
to be known. Whether there is any
thing in the story is not known, nor
has Mr.. Lane any clue to it. The par
ties. mentioned are Mr.. and Mrs. Steel
nun, and four children. The hand
writing is not very legible, and the
nearest made out is that they were
from Cedarville, n. j. The name of
the family might also be taken for
Stulmun. The letter also mentions
having a brother living in Upland,
Chester, Pa. We publish the follow
ing note in full:
JUNE 16, 1901.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steelmun and family o
four children were cast away at Shil
John Light House. Rigging blowr
away, don't know if we will ever reacl
shore or not. Put this in the bottl
so if anybody will find it. L have

Afraid will be drowned any minute

known.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR FRUIT.
Orchards Are Bearing Heavily and the Outlook
is for a Profitable Crop.

is for a Profitable Crop.
There is a prospect of fair fruit
crop in this State. The trees bloomed
very full, but much of the fruit drop
ped, especially in orchards that bore
heavily last year. The crop will pro-
badly be no more than one-half to two
thirds as large as last year, but the
quality should be much better. Ell
berta orchards are among the lightest
bearers, as they were exhausted in 90
Reeves, Moore's Favorite, Brandy
wine, Prize, Chairs Choice and Craw-
ford Late are well filled and are am
ong the most valuable varieties. Or
chards that bore light in 90 are full
this year, yet it is hard to convince
growers that it pays to thin the fruit
whenever the trees are overloaded.
Wet weather caused considerable rot
ting of young fruits, many of which
were nipped in the bloom by the moni-
la. There will be many wormy
peaches, as the curculio is much more
prevalent than last season. Taken al
together, the prospect is good for q
profitable crop, as the medium setting
will insure better fruit. A few fruit
growers will thin young orchards this
year in cooperation with the expert
ment station.
