WILMINGTON WON
FROM ATHLETICS
Manager Wiegand's Team
Defeated the Philadel-
phia Giants

The Wilmington A. A. shut out Connie
Mack's champions yesterday in an error
less game and in consequence there was
much rejoicing in rooters camp.
Chick llartley's performance as pitcher
for the local club caused the Athletics to
wonder what they had bumped up
against As only three hits from his de-
livery We're credited to the champions, II
may be seen that his pitching was of the
gilt edge order.
Plank started in to do the twirling for
the ''sitors and held the home team down
for f.Te innings. He was then relieved by
Hastings. and his inception into the game
was marked py some t,tting on the part
of Wilmington, who scored their two runs
in the srsth inning. The score follows:

RAIN WELCOMED
BY THE FARMERS
Crops Even Later Coming in
This Season Than Last
Year

The recent heavy rains prevented many
farmers from planting their wheat. but
since the weather has become more fav-
orable the work Of sowing next years crop
has begun. There is also much corn still
TO be cut, which came in later this year
than last because of the dry condition OF
the earth during the summer months.
THE rains Of last week We're needed
badly" said a farmer in King street mar
kct yesterday Ito fill the springs and
wells which were rapidly drying up.
Showers OF one and two hours duration
are of little consequence" remarked the
tiller OF soil. "for the sun dries the
ground before the water has been alb
sorbed by the earth, whereas a good.
heavy rain lasting a day OF even two days
will wet the ground thoroughly, and what
water is in excess win find its way into
the springs, wells and ponds"
The crop of potatoes this season was
much smaller than last year. farmers hav-
ing fields OF this vegetable planted in low
ground faring better than their neighbors
on higher ground.
II is predicted that turkeys will be very
scarce and will command a high price be-
fore Thanksgiving. There is considerable
trouble attached to raising this toothsome
bird and many farmers in this vicinity
consider their time wasted in rearing the
fowl for the market. Most birds received
In this city during the holidays are from
the West where turkey farms abound.
Hay is not as plentiful as desired and
brings a good price.

PRESIDENT SEES
VETERANS MARCH
$4,000 Old Soldiers on Parade
Form an Imposing Pa
geant in Washington
HEARTY CHEERS FOR ROOSEVELT

Washington, oct. 9.--For more than
six hours yesterday the people in
Washington hummed the chorus of the
old Civil War Song. Tramp. Tramp
Tramp. the Boys Are Marching" and
for an equal time the veterans consti-
tuting the Grand Army OF the Re
public made good the claim. The pa
rade was the climax OF the 36th en-
campment of their order The presi-
dent Of the United States also lent
his energies 10 the entertainment Of
the capitals guests. Unable to endure
the strain OF reviewing the column
from a stand. he rose from his reclin-
ing chair, and had himself driven up
and down the line The unusual in
terest thus manifested was appreciat-
ed by the old soldiers, and President
. Roosevelt was everywhere received
by them with loud applause
Beginning at a few minutes past 10
O'Clock. when the head of the column
moved from its station at the capitol.
IL was almost 8 O'Clock when the last
squad in the line had passed the place
Of disbandment west OF the White
House None Of the soldiers were
marching any great part OF the time,
for the entire line OF march did not
exceed two and half miles in length.
but those who composed the rear de-
tachments were on their feet practi-
cally all day, much of the time being
consumed in waiting to take their
places in the line. The participants
in the imposing pageant entered w.th
life and vigor into the spirit of the oc-
oasion. Each countenance bore evi-
dence Of the JOY the experience brought
TO the individual. and It was plainly
evidentgthRt there was in the occasion
much OF the restoration of youth for
most of them. The "old boys" for the
time being evidently were re-living the
days Of their youth. Not many of them
exhibited traces OF age in their march
ing. Almost without exception, they
walked along with spritely step.
Eyery Kansan in the parade, and
there were several hundred OF them
there. carried an umbrella painted on
the outside to represent a hugh sun
flower. This probably was the most
unique display made by any state,
though Il was only little more
so than that Of Iowa, whose
members each carried big ear
OF native corn on the side where
formerly canteens were borne, these
ears being suspended from bright
broad. new yellow ribbons They
passed the reviewing stand shouting
in unison. Hurrah, hurrah, for corn
and hay. We are the boys from Iowa"
The crowds who thronged their path
way we're limited in numbers only by
the capacity Of the broad sidewalks,
the stands, the parks. the windows and
housetops along the line Of march to
hold them. Tho government depart
ments and the schools we're closed for
the day. and practically the entire pop
ulation Of Washington turned out to do
honor to the veterans along with the
hundred thousand visitors to the city.
There was at least 25. 600 men in line
and the estimate OF Commander-in-
Chief Torrance ran as high as 10000
men.
Last night the veterans held camp
fires in the big tents in the white lot.

BRET HARTE DEAD;
DEMISE WAS SUDDEN


LONDON, May .6-F. Bret Harte, the
American author, died here last night.
He was born at Albany, n. Y. August
Is, 1888.
Mr.. Harte died suddenly at the Red
House, Cambry, near Aldershot, from
hemorrhage, caused by an affection of the
throat. 100 ~ -
Mr.. Hatte had been living quietly in
England for years. Most of his time was
spent in the country. and when in London
he was almost equally secluded, having
few visitors to his rooms at Lancaster
gate ard only going to the houses of q
limited number OF verv intimate friends.
Several months ago. when a false report
of his death was circulated in America.
a representative OF the Associated Press
called at his rooms. Mr.. Harte then ap-
peared TO be perfectly well. He laughed
heartily and quoted Mark Twain's old
saying about the report being greatly ex-
aggerated.
Except for a little cold" said Mr..
Harte, 81 have no ailments or complaints.
While 1 am getting to be a pretty old
, man"-pointing to his snow white hair
there is life In the old dog yet" and
thereupon he lit cigar so large that 1t
would have done credit to any of his
Poken fat friends. He was hoping, he
also, said, TO do more work, but he con-
fessed ne was growing lazy.
\, Mr.. Harte had been suffering from swell
ed tonsils since December last. but he did
not consider the attack to be serious. A
week ago he went to visit friends at
Cranberry and was present at lunch as
usual yesterday. He suddenly became I'll

a few hours. His end was peaceful

iRISHMEN RESENT
'. STAGE CARICATURES

NEW YORK, May 6-James P. Bree,
national secretary Of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, has confirmed, according
to a dispatch TO The World from New
Haven, Conn.,. the reports that an organ
lied effort is being made by Irish societies
TO discountenance caricatures of the Irish
race on the stage and In the papers. Said
Mr.. Bree:
The agitation is more for the educa-
ton OF the people than a movement
against theatrical managers. actors and
publishers. We recognize the fact that
theatrical managers strive to give the
people what they want, and that these
caricatures of the race would not be pre-
sentsd did not the people applaud them.
1--WE must not be considered over-sen-
sitive in the matter What we object to
Is such Characterization as exploit the
worst features of the race and make
capital of the failings of human nature
and ascribe them wholly to a type
of Irishman which does not exist.
IAN Irishman can stand a joke as well
as man of any other race, but he does
not enjoy jokes that belittle him. This
habit Of caricature extends to other ma
tionalities and is calculated to bring them
in an unfavorable light before the rising
generation
