DIAMOND BACK TERRAPIN.
Formerly Despised. They Are Nov
Considered O. Delicacy.

Formerly Despised. They Are Now
Considered a Deltcacy.
Half a century or so ago diamond
back terrapin were fed to slaves and
hogs. Today they are the rarest deli
cacy known to the epicurian world,
says the Philadelphia North American.
Then they sold for 81 barrel, and
laborers, when hiring out, specified
that they must not be compelled to eat
terrapin more than twice week. To-
day a barrel is cheap at $500, and mil
lionaires travel hundreds Of miles for
chance to feast on this most deli
cious Of all meats.
OF course this means genuine dia-
mond backs. There are many imita-
tions.
Every first class restaurant in the
country features ''terrapin Ia Mary
land" on its menu, but in not one case
out of a hundred is the real terrapin
served. The diner regales himself on
what he believes to be Maryland's
CuOlCeSI ulSll. AuSleou Ac 40. uSASAJ
eating fresh water turtles, "sliders" or
North Carolina goldens."
The reason is simple. Restaurateurs
don't serve real diamond backs be-
cause they can't get them. The worlds
total terrapin population does not ex-
ceed $4,000 Of legal size, and these are
confined to the shores Of the Chesa-
peake bay, the only place that produces
them.
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York enjoy a monopoly. These three
cities get practically the entire output,
but few ever find their way across the
Blue Ridge. The epicure unfortunate
enough to be born in Chicago or st.
Louis must either come east or forego
the joys Of terrapin.
To select a real diamond back anna
teurs should be guided by these distin-
gushing and characteristic markings:
It is of a greenish, dark olive color,
sometimes running to spotted gray,
yellow on the plate which surrounds
the shell and has concentric dark
stripes along the plate on both shells.
The sides Of the head are dirty white,
sprinkled with small black spots. The
bottom shell is Of wllitish yellow.
The males are much larger than the
females and have the concentric streaks
much better defined. The female has
the more delicate flesh. The male can
be distinguished by his toe nails, which
are much longer than those Of the fe-
male.

The Poor Little Fellow.

The street Arab lives by his wits, If
he lives at all well. Two youngsters
who peddle cough drops on Chestnut
street have learned this thoroughly.
One Of these boys is much larger than
the other, and crowd was attracted
to the corner Of Ninth and Chestnut
streets the other day to see the big
boy pummeling the little boy. At the
proper time the big one disappeared,
leaving the little one surrounded by
sympathetic onlookers. Several per-
sons, plying the poor little fellow"
gave him nickels and pennies.
The sequel showed that the "poor lit
tie fellow" was ir league with his sup
posed tormentor. No sooner had the
crowd dispersed than the big boy came
along for his divvy. The scene was re-
peated several times, always with the
same result.-Philadelphia Times.

Court Proceedings.

When this paper went to press last week
the case of Sanford against the Southern
Railway Co. was being tried. The jury
found a verdict in favor of the rallfoao
after short deliberation.
The next case tried was that OF r. l..
Morris VS.. G. B. Aver, a suit tor palance
due claimed on q store account. MOTIFS
claimed S92 due him, and Aver contended
that there was only $40 due. The jury
found a verdict for the plaintiff for $4S24
The much talked of Kitchen Cabinet
case came up Thursday morning There
were several cases, but as they were all
similar, only one case was tried, that o1
ia. Green VS.. w. NJ Cauthen ct al. The
trial consumed all day, and the jury found
a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount
claimed. The plaintiff was represented
by A. McIver Bostick, Jno. r. Belllnger,
and Geo. w. Croft, while the defense was
represented by Izlar Bros. and L. Nj.
Raysor
In order to allow members of the bar
and the Jurors to attend memorial eXer-
cises at Rivers Bridge on Friday, Judge
Klugh held Court until twelve O'Clock
Thursday night. Itwas aftern nine CLOCK
when the jury retired on the Kitchen
Cabinet case, and the case OF Z. Ehrhardt
& Sons VS.. Isaac W. Carter as admins
traitor was then taken up. This was a
suit on note alleged to have been gwen
by W. H. Carter, now deceased, to the
plaintiffs, and the administrator declined
to pay the amount claimed on the ground
that the signature to the instrument was
not that of w. H. Carter. The case hao
been tried once before and verdict rend-
cred for the plaintiff, but new trial was
granted on the ground of after-discovered
evidence. The jury remained out until
about two o'clock Friday morning, when
the Judge ordered mistrial.
The cases set for Friday were postponed
until the next term of court, and Judge
Klugh left for his home in Abbevllle on
the $50 train Friday morning.
