REPUBLICS SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Iligh-clasS Management Brings Splendid
Business Results

The well-known steamer Republic
will close her season on Sunday. Sep
tember IA. Even the weather should
not be favorable there is no doubt of
1t being a great day aboard the popular
excursion boat Last Sunday broke
all records. On that day the Republic
carried by far the largest number of
passengers in her history; and fully a
thousand people. all eager and anxious
TO get aboard, had to be left on the
wharf. Because Of her crowded condi-
ton, the stop at Wilmington had to be
omitted last Sunday, and several hun
dred were consequently disappoint-
ed at this place. The staunch boat. al
though crowded as never before made
the trip to Cape May and return in fine
style without mishap of any kind.
There was not the slightest disorder
or untoward incident to mar the grand
outing of the great throng of happy
eXcursionists. So it will be on Sunday.
September IA, when the Republic will
make her last trip Of the season to
Cape May and return. The extraordi-
nary success of the steamer Republic
this season has been the subject of con
siderable talk in steamboat circles.
There could be but one explanation OF
it, and that was agreed to be the Re
public's high-class, careful, practical
management, coupled with a forceful
effective plan of advertising, which was
absolutely devoid OF Misrepresentation
The truth was told about the Republics
attractions; the people believed all that
was said about her, and the boat pros.
pered far beyond the expectations oi
her owners. Hence the Republic will
close the season Of 1902 much stronger
than ever in public favor, with a record
for safety and good order that cannot
be matched, and with a profitable busi-
ness showing that must be highly
gratifying to her fortunate owners.

FARMERS HAVE
PROFITABLE NEASON
Interest in Fruit Culture
Now in apples
Truck Patches Have Grown We'll
Where Rain Has Been Plentiful.
Other Farm Notes

This weeks market shows the advent
of the cool weather. It's produce is
not as crisp looking as that of the sum
mer months and its prices are slightly
higher, but the display is attractive
and the demand brisk, nevertheless.
Tomatoes are coming into the mar
ket in large quantities and they are
cheap. The best of them arc selling at
twenty cents a basket. although some
few grocers ask twenty-five cents. yell
low tomatoes are plentiful, but as yet
they bring thirty-five cents a basket, a
rather high price.
The farmers are selling most of their
crops TO the large canning concerns.
which pay from IS to SIS ton for
them. Large quantities are still on the
vines and the rain will help them grow.
The interest in fruit shifts from
peaches to apples this week, as the
former crop is waning and the latter
grows in Importance.
Shipments from even the most pro-
ductive of peach orchards have closed.
and the quality of the fruit Is far from
the best. Apples are dropping in places,
but the outlook seems to improve with
the advance of the season, and in many
localities enough of the fruit will re-
main on the trees to give fair yields.
Pears are still plentiful. The Kief-
fers seem TO have a firm hold to the
limbs and are growing well and are
coloring finely.
Gardens have done we'll where gen
erous rains have been received, but in
the drier districts they have failed ap-

tricts, but is fairly good in other parts

pleaded mot guilty. to the specinca-
tons and the charge. and that the
court found him mot guilty" on the
first specification, guilty OF the sec
ond specification, attaching no crimi-
nality thereto, and mot guilty" of the
charge. The court therefore acquitted
Captain Ryan.
