When He Was at Buffalo Delaware's Fruit
Exhibit Consisted of Photographs.
Mr.. and Mrs. George +. Bowerman
have arrived in Wilmington from a trip
to the West and North.
They attended the 23d convention OF
the American Library Association at
Waukesha, Wis.,, July Sd to 10th, the
largest meeting ever held of the organi
cation, between 600 and 700 being pres
emit. After the adjournment they took
the lake trip from Detroit, with numer-
Gus other delegates and visited the
Buffalo Exposition. At Buffalo, they
were the guests of Mr.. Bowerman' q
brother, who lives opposite the exposi-
tion grounds. They were especially
pleased with the government and the
art exhibits, and, Of course, with the
electrical display.
When 10 the horticultural building,
Mr.. Bowerman asked for the Delaware
exhibit and was shown to the place,
where lie saw about two dozen photo
graphs Of fruit, and some empty plates,
but no fruit. Then, his brother, joou-
larly, asked him what State he was
from, and MI. Bowerman said he would
not admit that he was from Delaware
in the face of such an EXHIBIT as that.
In view of the fact that euch far. off
States as Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia had splendid fruit exhibits, re-
newed each day, Delaware's showing
was the more lamentable.

The returns Of The tax assessment of
property have been placed at the Pa
vilion for inspection. The rate this
year will he 11s Ter cent, which will
raise about 81, 500 In taxes for the ex-
penses and Improvement of the beach.
One OF the most serious drawbacks 10
the improvements at Rehoboth has been
the fact that only 81, 600 could be raised
by taxation. The new charter which
was granted by the last Legislature
permits the taxation to be raised to
81, 500. and that amount could easily
be used for many needed improvements,
but the commissioners deemed 1t mad
visable to increase the assessment to
the amount 10 view Of the increased
county assessment, against which there
will be vigorous protest next year.
The commissioners will sit as court
of appeal at the Pavilion Saturday,

Thus il would be fitting for the sheriff
10 view Of the condition OF affairs, to

silent in the matter tho taxpayers have
| good cause to feel that they are being
preyed upon.
Commitments are matters OF consid-
cradle inerest to taxpayers at present,
being sucn expensive items in the
sheritf's accounts. The sheriff ia
allowed 20 cents day for the board Of
prisoners. 1t ia said that scheme is

Lambson was acting mayer from March
to November in 1898, when Mayor boyd
was in the military service, he had but
one commitment in all that time, This
looks strange and suggests but one con-
olusion: That there is collusion be-
tween the mayor and the sheriff to
extort big fees from the county,"
When people are talking this way,
giving expression to their suspicious of
crookedness,, il behooves the sheriff to
make an explanation of his claim
for such large sum for such short

A COMPARISON OF FIGURES.


Morning News, Saturday.
A prominent business man of thia
city called at the office of the Morning
News yesterday, and said that he was
very much interested in the discussion
of the methods of the Levy Court. and
especially in the matter of recent OK
penditure for refurnishing the county
Court House. The matter has been
alluded to frequently, and IN the reso-
lutions of the West Brandywine Grange
particular reference was made to the
bill. This gentleman said that he had
secured estimates for the work that was
done in the Court House from two
dealers In this city and he was anxious
to have comparisons made with the Eill
paid and estimates given. He then re-
questad that the bill be printed,
together with two estimates OF the
work he had secured.
The bill as presented 10 the Levy
Court and ordered paid, read as fol-
lows:
July Q, 1901. Refurnishing court room I:
New carpets and inlaid linoleum upholster-
ing chairs, repairing and refuinishing IN
terror wood work and all chairs entire, re-
covering desk tops, tables, new cuspidores,
rubber mats, &c, ms per price, s3.2O0.
Then he presented this estimate made

HALE SQUARE FOOT oE LAND $1,000.
The Smallest Tract of Ground Ever Held by
Deed and offered for Sale.

The Smallest Tract of Ground Ever Held by
Deed and offered for Sale.
New York, Aug. 10. = But little
more than half square foot is the ex-
tent OF piece of property in this city
for which 81. 0O0 ia asked. 1t is situated
at Third avenue and One Hundred and
Forty ninth street, and is owned by the
estate of Frederick Uhl, of which
Samuel Walker Is tile executor.
The CROSS street has recently been
widened by the city, and all but this
minute piece of land taken. 1t is six
inches on the avenue and ID inches on
the street. IL forms little neck in a
block of land owned by Mrs. Augusta
Doran of No. 1913 East One Hundred
and Forty ninth street, which she has
leased to Charles Bullwinkle, who is
fitting up what is to be known as the
Wedge" Hotel. The Uhl property
lies Just whore he has planned storm
door under the three foot privilege.
Young Frederick Uhl has planted a
post upon the tiny triangle, on which
is q sign which reads as follows:
This property for sale, $1,000. In
quire at this post on the land. :"
A diagram Of the plot is appended
which is rather deceptive, for in the
figures showing the size he has made
the denomination 100 SO small as to be
hard to find without q microscope, and
the casual rasaer by would think that
large lot was to be sold very cheap.
Mr.. Uhl mounted guard there all day
yesterday.
81 want to SELL am very anxious to
SELL" be eaid, but l must have my
price,"
He said that IL it wasn't disposed of
soon he, too, would invoke the three
foot privilege and erect eignboard
upon it. Uhl said he had been offered
$500, but oouldn' think OF accepting it.
Mrs. Doran could not be seen last
night, but her daughter spoke for her.
She said her mother blamed the city
for not taking the entire lot when leav-
ing such little place could give rise
to such complications She said they
would go to the Building Department
today and see if nothing could be done.
They said they had offered fair price
for the land already.
Business men of tho region do not
see how the Dorans can get redress, for
the property unquestionably belongs to
the Uni estate, as they raid tax 56
cents ON 1t last year and hold the re-.
ceipt.
