1t ia said that plans are under dis
cussion looking to the consolidation OF
the passenger and freight offices Of the
Pennsy lvania and the Baltimore Il Ohio
in Philadelphia, Wilmington and other
cities. These plans have been under
discussion ever since the Pennsylvania
obtained control of the Maryland COR
poration, and it is said may besin effect
before the close of the year.
The executive officers of the two roads
will meet in Philadelphia in October,
according to a prominent official, who
says that the consolidation has already
been decided UPON. 1t is also reported
that the advertising departments of the
roads will be consolidated and all, the
business done from Philadelphia. The
executive offices of the two roads
will remain unchanged and the lines
operated as independent companies
The sole object of the consolidation is
to reduce operating expenses.
In Baltimore the plan is said to In
clude the removal of the passenger de

Upon the completion of the Pullman
Co. S new plant here the company pro-.
poses TO engase large number Of boys
10 learn trade at the works. Hereto
fore it was not the rule to engage many
boys, as it was deemed inadvisable TO
turn young hands loose on the character
of the work done at tho local sdors.
All Pullman cars aie tho work of artists,
and careful and experienced mechanics
must be employed on them. Supefin-
tendent John Bulge yesterday said that
the company realizes that good me-
chapics are scarce, and that carpenters
are also hard to find. He also says that
Wilmington produces some splendid
mechanics and the company hopes to
be able to turn out scores of good WORK
men from the local plant. Three up.
holsterers who learned their trade at
the shops in this city are said to he
the best workmen In the oornpany's
shop at Chicago. 1t is the intention
of the Pullman Co. to train young men
in its employ so as they may be Rble
to carry on the work of car building.

GERMANY'S NEW TARIFF.
Features Which VIII Most Materially
Affected the United States.

Features Which VIII Most Materially
Affected the United States.
Washington, Aug. %. The Statey
Department has received from Cousul-
General Mason at Berlin, long report
setting forth in detail the features off
the proposed new German tariff which
will most materially affect United
States products.
BY iar, the most important Of theser
Is noted In the advances Of from so tot;
800 per cent in the rates on food NAL
terials, meats and live animals. TheR
present treaty rate on wheat of SO cents
would be increased under the new billF
to 81. per 100 Kilograms The
United States sent 465, 933 metric Il ns
of this commodity to Germany lastt
year.
As to American manufactures, thes
most notable advances made by thG-
new bills are in the rates on bicy cleI,
and shoes. An American bicycle weigh +
ing about % pounds would pay 50. 81
import duty, instead of about 81. %, ash
at present. Shoes would pay about
double their present rate.
Mr.. Mason states that public dist
oussion of the tariff measure is con 1
fined to two points-the alleged I'M
adequacy of the proposed duties onl
manufactured products aud the effect
which the heavy advances in the ratess
on food materials will have upon thei
non agricultural population Of Ger,
many.

SUICIDE IN A BELFRY.
George 81 Harrington Hangs Hirself at

george B,h harrington Hangs HirtseH AT
Oxford, New Jersey.
A dispatch from Oxford N. j., says:
George b. Harrington committed
suicide yesterday by hanging himself
IN the belfry of the Methodist Church,
at which he had been preaching.
Mr.. Harnington was 90 years of aga,
and still a student at Drew Theological
Seminary, net yet having been adj
mitIed to full preachers orders. He had
been acting as pastor OF the church
and was giving great satisfaction. His
home was In Delaware, where, it is
said, his parents and other relatives
live. Two weeks ago, he was married
to the organist OF bis church. So far
as osn be learned, his married life was
happy. No cause is known for mis- act.
After breakfast yesterday, he re-
marked to his wife, seemingly in o
joking manner, she thought, that he
thought he won d kill himself during
the day. His wife disreRsrded the ro
mark, except to say to him 1t was a
sorry Joke to talk that way He did
not return to the house at noon as
usual, and search for him was begun.
1t was learned that during the morning
he had visited the store conducted by
the Oxford Mining Co. and there
purchased piece OF half inch rope. In
view of the threat to kill himself, this
was alarming, and general search was
started. The church being locked, it
was QUE of the last places visited, but
there late in the afternoon the body
was found swinging in the bslfry. He
had tied the rope to ioist and, after
placing moose around his neck, had
swung oil and strangled, -

THE OYSTER SEASON.
The Bivaive VIII Be Due by the First of
September.

September.
The oyster seaeon will begin on
September list. Dredging in the natural
beds is not allowed until sun up on
September LIST. When these oysters are
taken out they must he laid up In fresh
water for few days, and it will be
readily seen that IL the law has been
complied with they could not be put on
the market the first day of the season,
but as has been said the oystermen have
way of anticipating the season and
manage to get some of these bivalves on
the market the first day.
1t is thought prices will be higher
this year. There has been an advance
of 80 cents thousand on last years.
prices This is expected every year now
by oystermen. 1t is not that the supply
is less, hut the demand u greater every
season and the supply does not increase.
Judging from the statement of retail
dealer should the supply Increase there
will be no material change in the situa-
tion, as nothing can keep pace with the
demand. Where oysters were shipped
only among several of the Eastern
States few years ago, they are now
sent all over the country and shipments
are made to England. An instance of
the growing scarcity ia given in the
fact that though Baltimore is the centre
of the oyster industry uf the world. last
year at one time the market there was
bare of shell oysters, an unprecedented
circumstances.
The waters of Delaware /, Maryland
and Virginia supply the oyster market
of the world, because they arc the
choicest bivalves to be had anywhere.
The States farther east have good
oysters, but dealers say ours beat them.
The Pacific coast oyster is about the
same as the English biyalve, both
having peculiar coppery taste and
being nothing in comparison to those
of this part of the country. t
Local oystermen are AS much in the
| dark about the condition of the bivnlyee
as the general public. They are hoping
for good season. They have had all
kinds of reports from men who have
looked over the situation, some saying
the oysters are good, others say ing they
are bad. Last year there was spell oil
calm weather that interfered with tht
work of the dredgers about this time.
The wind was not strong enough &c
give sufficient power for dredging The
Indications point to the prevalence oil
a similar condition this year; and il
such is the case oystermens will be il
doubt until better conditions will ere

THE COOKING OF FISH.
By Mrs. Barbara sadler.


Somebody has said that the proper
cooking of meats is a trade while the
proper cooking of fish is an art. l
would not go so far ms that, but l do
believe that more fish is served i'm
properly cooked than there is meat that
suffers from an improper treatment. In
the hrst place people, many of them,
forget that there is a decided difference
In fish itself; that dark meated fish
should not, ordinarily speaking, be
treated like light colored fish. The dark
FISH is almost always oily and has other
characteristics not known to the light.
The former may be baked, broiled and
In some cases boiled, but you should not
fry it or make it into chowder as you
would the latter. Just contemplate
chowder made of blue fish and you will
see the point at once.
As much of the fish eaten Is panned,
that is, fried, leN me say word in ref
erenee to that way of cooking it. Set
down this maxim at the very start, that
you either must use in frying fish a
great amount of lard, olive oil. or salt
pork fat, or you should use but little of
either. There is no medium course.
Either have fat enough so the fish will
float and cook like a. doughnut or use
only enough to grease the pan and keep
the usll IrOm SUCKING. IN tue Ioriner
case tho fat must always be smoking
hot, in the latter this is not essential.
In seasoning fried fish you may use
black pepper literally. If the fish be
well covered before cooking begins. it
will not as rule cause the cooked prod
net to be too peppery, but does give a
desirable touch or favor. I seldom salt
fish until after 1t Is taken up and never
until nearly cooked, unless it is rolled in
batter, which, of course, should be sea-
soned properly before cooking is begun.
Another thing in regard to frying fish.
Use common sense In the treatment OF
the fish before it goes into the pan. If
the fish is large, cut it into steaks or
split it SO it can cook through. 1t is
Impossible to properly cook a piece of
fish that is too thick. Fish to be good
must{ be well done. and you can't fry
the centre of thick slice to that desir-
able condition.
4 A little lemon juice makes fine addi-
ton to most fried fish. especially where
batter or heavy coating of crumbs is
used. The best course is to serve with
Ethe fish piece of lemon and let the
guest use it as suits his taste.
