DELAWARE COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM.
t. @. Boehm Of Columbia University
Engaged as Coach for the Season.

II. @. Boehm Of Columbia University
Engaged as Coach for the Season.
Although the baseball season is not yet
near the end, arrangements have been begun
for football, which follows. The first posi-
tive announcement as to the local prospects
Is made by William r. Wharton, captain of
the Delaware College eleven, who states that
he has engaged 7. o. Boehm of Columbia
University to coach the team this season.
Mr.: Boehm, who is first-class player, genial
and courteous, will begin his duties on Sep
tember 18th, when the team will start TO prac-
tice, and will remain with 1t throughout the
season, devoting his entire time to the per-
fecting of style of play which he and
Capt. Wharton have decided to adopt, and
which is, in the main, that played by the
Columbia team last year, with few changes
and some original plays, which they think
will be best suited to the individuals of the
team. Sy4t}t .9
According to those who have given the
matter thought and know what has been
brewing with respect to Delaware team of
1902, the prospects for a good team to rep
resent the college were never better, and
with a nucleus of such old players as Capt.
Wharton, Powell, Cam, Groves, Kyle, Fer
guson and others, supported by last years
substitutes and scrub, together with several
new men who have been in view, the team
should be able to play in creditabe
manner the hard schedule which Manager
Sawin has arranged for 1T.
Coach Boehm says he expects to have in
his new fullback man who can equal the
! Columbia fullback in the handling stunt.
There Is every reason to believe that Mr..
Boehm's advent as coach of the team will
bear good fruit He never asks of any
member of his team anything that he
| cannot do himself. at

DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE.
II Issues an Appeal to tho Democratic
Voters of Delaware.

II Issues an Appeal to the Democratic
Voters of Delaware.
The Democratic League held meet
ing Thursday evening and adopted the
following, which is addressed to the
Democratic voters of Delaware:
The Democratic party is now about to
elect delegates to attend the State conyen-
ton, to be held at Dover on September
18th, for the purpose of defining course
of action to be pursued during the coming
campaign; to nominate candidates for Con-
gress, State treasurer, State auditor, &c. !;
also, to prepare and adopt platform setting
forth the attitude of the party upon certain
public questions-questions of vital import
ance to our people.
To arrange such matter, in way ac-
ceptable to the great masses of our people,
makes 1t absolutely necessary that the men
selected to perform this important work
should be of unquestioned integrity and
standing in the Democratic party-men
who are not afraid TO stand up for principle,
even at the expense of their own personal
ambition.
The Democratic League, always ready tc
uphold that which shall best serve the in
terests of all the people, and opposing thai
which we think to be for the advancement
of the few at the expense of the many, ad
wise that the election of delegates to oul
| coming State convention shall be free anc
open to all, giving the voters OF each dis
| trict an opportunity to select their delegates
| at ward meetings, ample notice of suci
meeting to be given by proper authority o
| at the primary election to be held on Sep
TENDER 18th. The men 30 selected would b
more acceptable than the names of mel
simply put on the ticket upon their own ap
plication to members of the county com
mittee.
The Democratic party has splendi
chance this fall to put itself on record an
pledge themselves to support Democrati
principles, fearlessly and honestly, and b
so doing they will appeal, not only TO a
Democrats to support the ticket to be nom
mated, but they will also receive the suppoi
of the independent and Republican either
who are thoroughly disguised at the actio
of the Republican party in our State.
We therefore urge the Democratic vote
to take an interest in our coming primaries
and see to it that none but honest, fearle
men be eected-men who are in favor of
government for the people,, and not fc
the trusts and against the people.

POPPED CORN MADE
a MILLION DOLLARS

New York World.
d. S. Humphrey of Cleveland, o.,
the man who has popped his way from
poverty to fortune, has rounded the
million mark and is receiving the con-
gratulations of friends who have grown
robust on popcorn and molesses candy
while Humphrey and his brothers and
sisters have grown rich.
"If you want to make money" says
this man who made it, "don't trust to y
luck. Make up your mind what the
people want make yourself believe that
they will pay for it, and then give it
to them. -
Back in 1898 Humphrey stood on
corner in this city and looked longingly
at popcorn cart. The corn smelled
appetizing and Humphrey was hungry
He jingled very small quantity q
very small change in the pocket of hit
worn trousers, contemplated the corn
for time and then bought some. Then
he did bit of thinking. He noticed
that the pepper used ty the yender
wasn't much of pepper, but that the
man had no trouble in selling his
wares. He had an idea that he could
make better one and went home,A
Two years before the Humphrey family,
consisting of Harlow, David, Emma
and himself, had come to Cleveland
from Huron county. A mortgage on
the farm had been foreclosed and they
had to borrow 800 to get out OF town.
Their idea in coming to this city was
| to begin all over again, and this they
did. In fact, they began several times.
| Bad luck pursued them and the oftener
| they tried to succeed the more dismal
we're their failures. On the night of
| the popcorn incident they were in sad
straits.
Mr.. Humphrey confded his corn
pepper ideas to the family, and then
made a pepper. 1t was a good thing,
and he tried to sell it. He talked corn
pepper to every corn man he could find,
but they all said there was no money
in making peppers, and Humphrey
decided he had one more failure in his
hands.
| He concluded, however, to use the
pepper up and SO he started selling
popcorn. He got an old cart, loaded it
up and pushed it by hand to Cable
Park, where there was fireworks show
that night. The smell of the corn
caught the crowd and Humphrey made
s.. That was the beginning. Humphrey
concluded that there was more money
in corn than in peppers, and he and
the entire family got into the business

READING co. DIVIDEND.
One Per Cent oil the First Preferred Stock
Voting Trust Continues.


The directors of the Reading Co., at
special meeting yesterday afternoon week,
declared O dividend of 1 per cent on the
SEQ, o00, 600 Of first preferred stock, payable
October lat, and by their action decided
that the voting trust, the members of which
are J.. Pierpont Morgan and #. p. Olcott,
of New York, and O. s. W. Packard of
Philadelphia, shall continue for two years
longer to direct the affairs of tho company
unless the trustees shall decide to hand over
to the stockholders the control of the COM
paf1y or unless the courts shall intervene to
dissolve the voting trust.
IL took less than 10 minutes for the
directors TO decide where the control of the
road should be lodged during the next two
years. The directors present were George
f, Baer, John Lowber Welsh, Henry p.
Mexican, George @. Thomas and Fl, A..
du Pont
After the meeting Messrs. Baer, Welsh
and the other directors declined to discuss
the question as to why the board had de-
cided to reduce the dividend from 2per cent
to / per cent.

HARMED is STILL CHAMPION.

UNnI u

At Newport II. L., Yesterday He Success
fully Defended Title Against Reginald II.
Doherty.
For the third time, in eight years English
aspirations for the highest american tennis
honors in singles have been dashed, when
they seemed almost within reach of the per-
sistent foreigners, for at Newport, r. l.,
last week, William A. Larned of Summit,
N. j., successfully defended his title as
champion by defeating Reginald +. Doherty
of England, three sets TO one. The scores
we're 4-6, GO, Ga. S--6.
scorchihg sun was no insignificant
factor in the result, and at the end Doherty,
unused to such hot rays, almost collapsed.
1t was generally acknowledged that had the
day been cool, like those Of last week, the
battle would have been fought longer, harder
and perhaps with different result. Larned,
however, played the game of his life, for
Doherty is undoubtedly the strongest player
who ever came to America. 90
The result set nearly 1900 loyal Ameri-
cans, who watched every stroke, almost
frantic with joy, and the demonstration
which followed the last play, when poherty
sent the ball into the net. will live fol
many years in the annals of the sport. The
Englishman was outplayed probably for the
first time in his life at every point. Larned
was stronger at the net, covered court far
better, proved sterling base line player
and, when the strain came in the third ano
fourth sets, showed himself to be in mag
| nihcent condition.

cially as obviating the possibility Of
the, transfer of typhoid fever by flies,
filth of every description should be re-
moved or buried forthwith.
EVERY effort should be made by
boards of health in cities and by
private persons in the country to limit
the breeding of the common househy.
In addition there should be strict
supervision of stables in which horses
are kept.
81 have found by careful expert
mental work with different insecticidal
substances that chloride of lime is the
most efficient thing that can be applied
|. to filth accumulations in such places,
but the trouble is that chloride of lime
is rather expensive. At the stable of
the Department Of Agriculture the
refuse Of the stalls is gathered in one
spot and treated to chloride of. lime,
the experiment proving so successful
that the number Of houseflies in the
whole neighborhood has been lessened
to remarkable extent.
'tHow do we propose to make war on
these pests? That is simple enough.
The division of entomology will send
out literature, of which vast amount
is being published, to health boards
and committees and individuals all over
the United States directing them as to
the means and materials to be used in
| killing off flies and employing pre-
| ventive measures for the spread and
transmission of disease germs by these
| insects.
"While this is being done expert.
| ments will be conducted by the govern
ment experts to discover more efficient
methods for carrying on the campaign.
Our first efforts will be to urge upon
the people the necessity of cane.
determination, as far as possible,
| will come later.''

the ruins of the barn of John S. Holmes,

MORE PEACH ORCHARDS.
selbyyille Farmers Encouraged by the Re-
suits This Year.


Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal.
Selbyville, Aug. 2s.-As result of the
great demand for peaches and the good
prices this year number of farmers in this
section are planning to set out new orchards,
and the indications are that in few years
this will be one of the great peach centres
of the State For number of years the crop
was failure, and in those years when the
trees bore well there was generally glut,
and as result the farmers were not paid
for the trouble, which caused many to pull
up their trees and use the ground for more
profitable farming. 1t looks now, however,
as If there had been decided change for
the better, and the growers feel highly en-
couraged. All the season there has been a
pleasing demand for good fruit, and, as a
rule, the prices have been satisfactory. II
this condition continues peach raising will
again be profitable.
As a result of the experience of the past
few years, the supply is comparatively light
here at present, the average shipments
being from 500 to 500 baskets day. Every
thing good in the shape of fruit is In de-
mand. For ordinary peaches the prices
range from 45 to So cents per basket, while
choice fruit is selling at from 81 to $1.50 per
basket. Some sales have been made at even
higher figures. The better the fruit the
greater the demand and the general opinion
is that It pays to handle the best.
Although not as important point as
BridGeville, this as become great shipping
centre for farmers in this part of SUSSEX
county, In the strawberry season some
heavy shipments were made. At one time l:
cars n day were sent away for three consecu
tive days. During the season about 100 car.
loads were shipped.
Only about one-half of the potato cropvhai
been moved, and it Is estimated that the
| farmers in that section still have from 10, 00(
| to 1900 barrels.
| The farmers have Just begun to cut fodder
Topping and stripping is done here, and al
| result there is an ample supply of goot
| horse feed. Hay is not raised in abundance
here, fodder being substituted. The corr
crop is fairly good.
\ The results from berries were so good thi
1 year that some of the farmers contemplate
| extending their business in that direction
and as result it is expected that they will
be able to load from 20 to % cars day il
| the height of the season.

EXTRA ALLOWANCES CONDEMNED.
Hockessin Grange Takes Exception to an
Act of the Levy Court.

Hockesstn Grange Takes Exception To an
Act of the Levy Court.
At regular stated meeting of
Hockessin Grange, No. A, P. of H.,
held on August 25th, the following
preamble, and resolution we're unani-
Inously adopted and ordered to be sent
to the Wilmington papers for publ
cation:
Whereas, The members of this grange
have learned through the press that the Levy
Court of this county did, some four weeks
ago, ALLOW Horace g. Rettewg receiver of
taxes, and George ID. Kelley, comptroller,
certain sum of money over and above
their regular salary, and while the said Levy
Court may have the power and law to war;
rant the grating of this extra allowances to
the above named officials, we heartily con-
denim and with one accord protest against
such allowances, believing that the salary
already provided for those officials is EN-
tirely ample for the labor performed, and as
| 1t appears there was only one member of
| the said court that raised his voice in oppo-
sition to the granting of this extra allowance
that being s. Frank Ewart; therefore, be II
| Resolved, That this grange unanimously
| endorses the stand taken by 5. Frank Ewart
| in opposing such extravagances with the
county's money, believing that he is trying,
| by his actions, to the best of his ability,
| with great odds against him, to economic
| with the county's money, thereby relieving
| ths farmer of burdensome taxes.
