PASSlNG of IHE PEACH


There was time when the peach
was king Ia Delaware. and when the
owner OF a large orchard was the envy
Of his less-fortunate neighbors. But
that time has gone. Disease has robbed
the lucious fruit of its royal title, and
in too many instances the owner OF an
orchard is an object Of pity instead OF
envy.
Within the last fifteen or twenty
years the Delaware peach has lost
much Of It's prestige as a money maker.
Many farmers have destroyed their or
chards and devoted their land to the
raising Of crops more certain, less sus-
ceptible to disease frost and blight
and hence more profitable taking them
year by year
Before that disease commonly de-
nominated 1ne peach yellows was in
troduced first into this State the coun-
try was a veritable garden and from
one end Of Delaware to the other the
very best land was devoted to peach
culture and big profits were realized.
There are big private fortunes in Dell
ware to-day which owe their existence
almost solely to the peach But the
yellows spoiled the face Of nature and
ravaged the pocket Of mankind with
an insidious stealth that no hand could
stay The growers were not alarmed
at first. They resorted to various ex-
pedients and experimental with divers
so-called remedies without success. At
last they realized that they were men
aced by a great misfortune. and ap-
pealed to the Federal authorities for
assistance to check the slow but
scteady Entertainments OF the disease

the yellows defied the Federal Govern
ment as it previously had deded thu

In this State this advance was mark
ed by the shifting of the great shippin
point from Middletown to Claytor
Clayton to Dover Dover to Wyoming
Wyoming to Harrington, Harringto
to Milford and thence dawn into point
in Sussex contiguous to the orchard
Year by year the disease forced tn
peach belt further and further dow
the State. leaving behind it ruin an
desolation in the shape Of millions (

WHAT HE WOULD DO IN A MO-

Madrid. Oct. 27.-During yesterdays
sitting of the Spanish chamber Of dep
uties, which proved sensational, Senior
Romero Y Robledo cleverly led the
minister Of war, General WeyIer, to de-
fine his attitude and intentions. Cen
eral Weyler declared that while the
war in Cuba lasted his views were to-
tally distinct from those of the liberal
party, but that when the war was at
an end the motive for separation disap-
peared, and he saw nothing to pre-
vent him attaching himself to a liberal
government.
Il have always faithfully observed
discipline he continued, and he who
talks of dictatorship is the enemy of
discipline. Our recent maneUvers have
proved that good feeling exists be-
tween the people and the army. As
for dictatorship. no one thinks of such
a thing. Dictators are the offspring of
circumstances.
For myself, I may say this I have
never thought of being one, nor do 1
now. Nevertheless, if my aid were
asked at d moment of gravity I do not
know how 1 should decide between my
political and military duties; but I
should always incline toward the lat

GOULD,s BIG PLANS.
Wants Railroad From Coast to
Coast

Wants Railroad From Coast to
Coast
Report has it that George J. Could
despite his relations with E. H Harri-
man. is likely to form a close traffic
agreement with the San Pedro road in
connection with his new coast to coast
system. Mr.. Gould is said to be plan
ming eventually a railroad system of
his own reaching from the Atlantic to
the Pacific At present Ogden is the
westernmost terminus of his system. An
extension of the Marysvale branch to
Calientes is under consideration, with
every likelihood of its being built. For
some time to come, ii is believed that
Mr. Gould will exchange traffic on
liberal terms with the oregon Short
Line, San Pedro and Southern Pacific.
Some there are. however, who believe
that the truth was spoken when one of
the incorporatOrs of the California
Midland recently stated that this road
would be part of the Gould system,
which was TO be extended to the coast
No immediate development in that re-
spect is looked for, however.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Gould is arranging
for an entrance into New York. The
road is already extending into Pitts
burg. 1t is understood to have made
an alliance with the Philadelphia &
Reading, giving it access to New York
over this cOmpany's lines, including the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. This
will give the Gould interests a system
extending from New York to ogden
and southwest into Mexico.
