farmers have stacked their grain, but the
majority of them are threshing from the

THE TOMATO CROP

Never in Delaware has there been so
many tomato plants set out and under
fair weather conditions the crop will be
enormous. Almost every farmer has re-
served a generous space for these vege-
tables, which are rapidly becoming one
Of the chief products of the Diamond
State. For several reasons the acreage
has been increasing and canning houses
have been erected in the small towns for
packing the tomatoes. These canneries
give employment to many and at season
when the farmers and their sons can
work. Therefore double profit is made
from the crop. The packing houses have
been enlarged in keeping with the in
creased crop until now almost every
little village has an establishment that
gives employment to more than a hun
dred people.

POPE LEO DEAD

Pope Leo XIII died at 404 O'Clock
Monday afternoon, after an illness of 16
days. His last moments were compare
lively peaceful and painless and were
preceded by a period of insensibility.
Around the bedside at the final moment
were the cardinals, the relatives and the
members of the Papal court.
The death of the Pope is great event
in Catholic circles and the election OF his
successor is very solemn occasion. Sixty
nine Cardinals constitute the -electional
power and the United States is repre-
sented in this conclave by but a single
person, Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore
1t requires two-thirds to elect and the
only person eligible to election is one of
this body Of Cardinals. Thus it is that
Cardinal Gibbons is the only citizen of
this country whose election is possible,
but it is hardly probable.
Leo XIII has been Pope for 25 years
and his successor will necessarily be a
man of mature age.

BASE BALL IN SMYRNA

The outlook for semi-professional
base ball club in Smyrna this season is
not very bright. Only about two-thirds
of the money needed to start the team
was secured and those who were inter-
ested in the management Of the club
deemed it inadyisable to undertake the
matter. 1t is understood that E. S. Rich
ards and number Of others will engage
a first-class battery and with the assist
ance of local players start club. Some
seem to thiEk that if the club is started
that the people of the vicinity will liber-
ally patronize the games and Smyrna will
soon have as good club as last season.
