KENToN, Sept. "a. - The warm
weather for 1901 is thing of the past
and now we are going to the closets to
look up our stoves.
Quite an interesting scene occurred
on our streets one evening last week.
While three young ladies were out for
a stroll, one of them chanced to glance
backward just in time to see large
goat which evidently had also came
out for an evening walk. His goat
ship had his head in proper position
for business but it seems he had no
business with these three girls for in a
moment one of them seized the top
wire of fence and with the spring of
an athlete put the fence between her
and the goat. The second one jumped
behind tree and the third one made
a dash for screen door with the goat
in hot pursuit She reached the door
and closed it after her just in time to
see the animal run his head into it and
turn away a disappointed goat. But
who says they were not thee fright
ened girls?
Mr.. James HAZEL who has for num-
Der of years lived on the road leading

right side. Mr.. Hazell lost his wife
only about Is months ago.

outlook for our Conference School so
encouraging as at present.

1t is expected that Bishop Coleman
and Archdeacon George G. Hall, of
Wilmington, will take an active part
in the discussions before the General
Episcopal Convention in San Francis
co, especially on the proposed new
canon which is to forbid a priest of the
Episcopal Church from marrying di-
vorced people. The subject has been
receiving considerable attention from
time to time. 1t is supposed that both
the bishop and archdeacon will take an
active part in support of the new
canon. They have studied the subject
carefully for some time. 1t is not
known how the Delaware lay delega-
tion will stand on the subject. ."-Morn-

THE CATHOLIC FAIR
Catholics VIII Clear Something Over
$1,000 With Their Four Night
Entertainment.

1t had been intended to close the
Catholic Fair which has been held in
the Beebe Hall on the east side of the
square for the past three nights We'd
nesday night, but there was such a
crowd present and so many were unable
to get in that it was decided to hold
it last night also.
Wednesday the voting contest closed
and the awards were made. Miss
Frances Schotts drew the $75 dia-
mond ring with Miss Taylor close
chase as second which secured her a $50
ring. Jack Leen,- foreman at No. 2.
smelter, ran off from Jim Mills in the
contest for a gold watch. The cash
taken in in the two voting contests
amounted to about 5000.
Father Donohue who is in charge
here now, expresses great pleasure at
the success of the fair and his hopes
are rising that before his labors end
here he may see a handsome church
edifice rise. He does not believe in
small churches and while in charge at
Toledo Ohio with a parish of but 800
families, erected $95, 900 church and
a $4,000 parsonage and just got him
self nicely moved in when his orders
came to move out into the west. The
REGISTER noted some time ago the
sale of the old Methodist church tothe
Catholics, But Father Donohue rath-
err hopes to sell this church and site
and purchase land elsewhereland build
$50, 900 or $4,000 church. If he
succeeds he has dreams of establish
ing Catholic school here to whic h
boys and girls from all over the
state shall come to live and study.
making itselfthus self-supporting.
And in the meantime the magnif-
cent success which he has made of the
first Catholic fair in lola prepares the
publicbelieve that he can do most any
thing else he sets Quito do. Three years
ago if any human being had said that
81 200 could have been raised by u
church in three nights half of the town
would have dropped dead.

NEED NAVAL OFFICERS
The New Vessels And Old Ones Now in
Reserve Must be Manned.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Senator Hale
submitted to the Senate today num-
Der of communications from the Sec
rotary of the Navy concerning naval
affairs. One of the documents was a
statement showing the disposition OF
officers of the navy. 1t shows that of
the 1882 officers, lob we're at sea jan
uary l. The one admiral Dewey
was on shore duty, as also were thir-
teen of the eighteen rear admirals.
Another document presented was q
statement of the need of the navy for
additional line officers below the grade
of lieutenant commander, compiled
from recommendation of the Secre-
tary and the chief of the bureau of
navigation. The contention is made
in the last document that many of the
existing vessels are inadequately
Differed and that 900 officers will be
required for new vessels now ordered
and for old vessels in reserve. In
view of these needs the recommends
ton is made that the naval appropria-
ton bill be amended so as to author
ize the appointment of two cadets by
each senator and representative in
Congress and for the appointment of
ten cadets at large.

FUTURE OF GOOD HORSES.
Good Prospects For Breeders of
Draft and Carriage Horses.


In harmony with progress generally
the breeders in America have learned
that horses must be raised for special
purposes If the breeder would make
his business most profitable, soy Nc
Loughlin Bros. in The National Stock
man. OF all the different types and
breeds of horses probably the most
in demand are work horses and car
rage horses for pleasure driving. As
o rule, work horses are used for heavy
draft, while carriage horses are intend
ed to pull light load at moderately
rapid rate of speed.
The draft horse must in the first
place have size and substance. He
must have heavy bone to carry his
great weight. Along with size he
must be n good walker and a fairly
easy trotter. However, the most
serviceable gait for a draft horse is
the walk.
With the renewal of industrial act v
ity in this country the demand for
draft horses has very largely increased.
For no other class of horses have the
market prices advanced so rapidly as
they have for draft horses in all our
American markets Consequently there
is larger demand for stations among
farmers and breeders at the present
time than has ever been known before
In this country. The demand has de-
veloped so rapidly and has become so
out of proportion with the supply that
we have not been able to find in any
Of the draft horse breeding countries
of the world one tenth enough stations.
This condition of things leads us to
believe that 1t will be impossible to
raise as many draft horses in America
as there is a demand for, and as there
will be demand for, for 10 or 10 years
in the immediate future.
The present prosperous conditions
have increased the demand for pleas
ure horses as well. Men who are sue
cessful in their business, who are max
ing money, are much inclined to invest
In fine carriages and horses. There Is
probably no other means that contrib
utes more to mans pleasure and hap
piness than driving or riding behind
handsome, high acting, fine appearing,
attractive horses.
Although high class coach horses
sold for high prices during times of de-
preston on account of their scarcity,
yet the demand for them has also in
creased, and prices have advanced.
The farmers and breeders who have
good trotting bred road mares and who
will breed them to high class coach
stations are sure to derive n profit in
any event, because no matter whether
times continue prosperous or the re-
verse there has been and always will
be demand for the kind of high act
ing carriage horses they will raise.

WEAVING Pigs,

A litter of pigs should not be weaned
till nearly 3 months Of age, and il fed
where they cannot be molested by their
dam or other pigs from the time they
are to 6 weeks old they will never
know they are weaned, but will con-
tinue to grow very fast and have no
setback. Pigs weaned at weeks of
age must surely have a hard setback in
their thrift, but If not weaned till about
3 months old and fed as above with
suitable feed they are almost ready for
market any day from this age on to @
or s months, If this practice is fol
lowed up for generation, we would
hear but little OF swine disease. -Prai-
