SPORT FOR GRABBING PARTIES.
Brick Store Landing the Mecca for Outing
Parties, Where Crabs are Reported to
be Fine and Very Abundant.

Mr.. G. Reynolds Stevenson took a
party of eight young ladies to Brick
Store Landing on Monday to spend
the day at grabbing in true picnic
style. They took with them plenty of
provisions, but strange to say they
forgot their lines and slnkers. On
the principle that necessity was the
mother of invention" they used all
the available twIne they could get,
used anything they could for sinkers,
and after batting threw their lines
over in the creek and awaited results.
They were all we'll pleased when they
found at the end of the day they had
caught nearly two bushel baskets of
crabs. Those in the party were: Miss
Daisy Sutton, Miss Irma Lewis, Miss
Emma Stevenson, Miss Lillian Speak
man, Miss Edith Start, Miss Grace
Suntield, Miss Gertrude Bell and Miss
Mary HAZEL.
Yesterday another party moved eff
to Brick Store Landing and they re.
port most delightful day. Crabs
were abundant and they caught guam
titles of them. Lunch was served in
happy picnic style. Those in the party
were: Miss Pearl Cullen, Crisfeld,
Md; Miss Ella Carey, Philadelphia;
Mr.. Willis f. Harrington, Harring-
ton; Miss Edna Tunis, Mrs. T. T.
Horn, Clayton; Miss Ethel Riggs,

PEACH BASKET FACTORIES BUSY.
Those Down the State are Working to Their
Fullest Capacity for Coming Crops.

Anticipating a fairly good crop of
peaches the basket factories down the
State, Smyrna excepted, have been
working full blast to turn out the re-
ceptacles necessary in the shipment of
the luscious fruit.
1t is estimated that several hundred
thousand peach baskets have been
made in Delaware factories this year.
Growers in Sussex say that the early
peaches and apples are not in very
good condition. as they are premature
and have a tendency to decay. The
hot weather is attributed as the cause
of this. 1t is expected that the quail
ity of the peaches will materially i'm
prove as the season progresses, and
the finest Delaware peaches will be
consigned to all parts of the country
within few weeks.

SMYRNA FRUIT AT EXPOSITION.
Mr.. J. E. Carter aud Mr.. Reuben Ford JOiu
Other Delaware Fruit Growers in Send.
ing Exhibits to Buffalo.

The State Board of Agriculture has
been greatly embarrassed by the un-
favorably and jesting criticisms that
have been made on the Delaware ex-
hibit at the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo.
Aside from being exhibited in
space between the mammoth shows of
the great fruit growing States of Flor
ida and California, with their four
special trainloads of cold storage fruits
and hot-house growths, which has
made the Delaware show look ridicu-
lously small, the Diamond State rep
resentation has looked ridiculous be-
cause the Board of Agriculture was di-
rected to make an exhibit by act of
General Assembly passed late in
March and far too late to secure any
of last seasons fine fruits through
cold storage or otherwise. The diff
guilty to find perfect fruit in the early
var1ties and to find the fruit growers
willing to give the time to properly
prepare them for exhibition, the board
| found almost unsurmountable.
By hard work the past week, how
ever, the board has shipped to Buffalo
about thirty baskets of the finest ap-
pies, peaches, pears and plums grown
in the world, and hope to soon be able
to outrival the other States in quality if
not in quantity.
Among the fruit growers who have
joined in the effort to pull Delaware
out of bad hole are Senator Charles
Wrighe, Seaford; +. M. Soper, Mag
nolia; Alexander Pullen, Milford; S.
II. Derbey, Woodside; Reuben Ford,

BETHEL CRURcRS PASTOR MARRIED.
Brought His Bride to Smyrna and Has Been
Given Warm Receptions.

Rev..A. B. Cooper, pastor of Bethel
A. M. E. Church, this town, brought
his bride home from Orange, N. j.,
(where he was stationed last year, one
day last week and took her to their
new home on North street. He was
given a lawn party in Morris Coff's
yard that evening, was serenaded by
the Independent Cornet Band the next
evening and the following evening was
serenaded by the young people in
solos, choruses, &c. His bride, whose
maiden name was Laura A. Cole, is an
alumni of the High School of Orange,
class of '99, and was organist of the
church for six years. Rev. Cooper is
preaching thoughtful and earnest dis
courses to his congregations. He
makes very direct and earnest assaults
on the demoralizing habits of playing
crap and cards that seems very popular
with the colored people this year.
Residents on the outskirts say that
those living in town know little or
nothing of the Sunday dissertations
that are corrupting the young men.

PLAGUE OF THE PESKY MOSQUITOES.
Swarms of Them Invading Some State
Towns Near Delaware Bay Shore.

A strange plague of very small
mosquitoes have settled upon the
lands contiguous to the Delaware bay
shore, and the insects have come in
clouds to invade some of the principal
towns of the State.
In many instances they are as small
as gnats and ordinary wire nettings
is no obstacle to the accomplishment
of their purpose.
Bayside cottagers have been driven
back to town and residents of Dover
and other inland places have restored
to the burning of camphor, sulpher
fumes and kerosene, to escape the
poisonous bite until the remedy, in
many cases, has become worse than the
disease.

body as far as st. POlycarp's Church,
and then proceeded to dissect and skin
it for the purpose of getting the hide,
which kept him busy until Sunday
morning. Had Magistrate Cooper i'm
posed the full fine, it would have been
$500.

PASTOR HARDESTY IN NEW ROLE.
Before Crowd Of Bystanders He Liberates
Sparrow EntangIed in a String.

Last Saturday afternoon the atten-
tion of a number of our pedestrians
was attracted to the caves of the roof of
the Winford Building on Commerce
street, where transpired an interesting
sight. Just under the corner was an
English sparrow's nest. In some mys-
terious manner one of the birds got its
foot tangled in piece of string, pre-
sumably fastened to the nest, and was
unable to extricate itself. It's helpless
ness aroused the sympathy of COM
panion birds, and impelled by nat
ural instinct, a half dozen or more
sparrows endeavored to pull and haul
at the string, and cut it loose with their
bills, but it was no use. For over a
half hour they labored in vain. See-
ing that it was almost impossible for
the bird to get loose, Rev. G.. l..
Hardesty, pastor of Smyrna Circuit,
one of the bystanders, borrowed a hay
fork, and climbing out third story
window, soon liberated the bird. With
portion of the string hanging to its leg,
the happy English sparrow joined the
other birds with merry clatter as
they few away. The incident was a
beautiful example of the instinct OF
bird life.

DELAWARE STATE SENATE MAY MEET.
Gov ernOr Hum is DESTROYS of Having His
Office Nominations Confirmed.

Since the Republicans have practi-
cally all the appointments in their
favor, the Courts having in the cases
so far ruled their way, Governor HUM
may call an extra session of the State
Senate to confirm the office holders
he has named.
The only appointment yet in dispute
is that of Judge of the Municipal
Court of Wilmington, which is to be
decided by the Supreme Court, the
lower court having ruled in favor of
Judge Churchman.
The Republicans are anxious that
the appointments shall be confirmed
as the next State Senate might be
Democratic and then there would be
no trouble. Some of the Republicans,
however, would like the Governor to
call the House, as we'll as the Senate,
together, and try to elect United States
Senators, but it is not expected that
this will be done, as there is no indi-
cation that the Regular" Republicans
would chime in for Addicks. Most of
the big politicians are out of the city
and no developments are expected
even should the Governor call the
Senate for confirmation purposes.

NEW TELEPHONE EXCHANGE OPERATOR
Miss Alice Cole, Recently of Philadelphia, Suc-

Miss WilhelmiEa Wells, who since
the resignation of Miss Elizabeth Cur
ry, has been in charge of the Diamond
State Telephone Exchange at the

ished her duties with that company
Saturday evening. She was succeeded
Monday morning by Miss Alice Cole,

formerly of this town. Miss Cole will
not only have charge of the Exchange,
but in the event of the removal of the
Western Union Telegraph office to
that building, she will learn to operate
both lines. The removal of the latter
is question of remote contingency.
So far Operator W. B. Jester, now in
charge of the Western Union at the
offices of the Smyrna Transportation
Company, has not received any official
notice that it is to be removed, neither
has the linesman who comes here at
stated intervals to keep the line in re-

issued by the Diamond State Tele-

however, that any change will take
place in this direction until Fall.
