Sheep as Weed Killers.

Did you ever notice how much freer
from weeds are pastures where a few
sheep ara kept than are those where
only horses and cattle Craze? Nearly
all, or quite all, the weeds are eaten oy
the sheep. and being avoided by other
stock in their pastures, they soon over
come the grass, which is constantly
handicapped by being eaten down. A
few sheep should be in every cattle OF
horse pasture.

seeretarr,s TaFs,s suoesss.

From the Washington star.
AS was expected, Secretary Taft has
made short and successful work OF his
visit TO Panama. II was not diflcult
for him to understand the case Of the
pannmans, nor TO make our case clear
to them. All that was necessary on
either side was a spirit Of fairness and
accommodation, ana this was possessed
by both sides. The Panamans are cele-
bratine the new pact, and IN our way
we shall DO the same. And here, 50
may be mentioned incidentally, Is
another triumph for arbitration.
The terms announced are excellent,
ana should accomplish everything for
which they were designed. We are
solictous that the little Republic on the
lsthmus should prosper, and are willing
to aid her ia every legitimate wAy. We
can afford to trade with her upon the
most generous terms, and help along
the growth Of her industries ana the
collection OF revenues sufficient for her
needs. AS a beginner her road just now
is, and FOR q few years win be- a little
rocky and dl6cult. But IN time she
will reach Smoother ground. and then
with the work DIN the canal going for
ward raplrly, her progress should be
rapid There Is small question that by
following the United states Panama Is
going 10 wear diamonds.
What Is conceded to us Is OF all
things what we most desire and can use
TO the profit OF both countries. We
have demonstrated our ability TO take
care OF public health and in Panama
that Is a prime consideration. We are
on the ground to begin a big job. and
q large force and some years will be
necessary for It's completion. It will be
money in everybodys pocket therefore
for the sanitary regulations to be IN
the hands Of those thoroughly qualified
to secure the best results. And. having
the authority now. we shall proceed at
once to put the premises In the best OF
sanitary order, and then keep them so.
Other difficulties may arise from time
20 time but when they present them-
selves Il will only be necessary to take
them up as these have been taken up,
and In the same spirit Certain It is
that the canal Is to be completed by the
United States In the shortest time con-
sistent with the importance Of the
work, and that we desire only the most
friendly relations with our Panaman
neighbors.

card a mufiled report, and then Young

Can't Claim Rights Of Exemption Law

Can't Claim Rights Of Exemption Law
Pittsburg, Dec. 10.--For the first
time in the history Of legal jurispru-
dence in the United States Judge w.
G. Hawkins in orphans court decided
a question which involved the treaty
between the United States and Italy
The court decided that a woman, a
resident Of a foreign country under its
treaty with the United States. cannot
claim the rights OF the exemption law
and consequently the estate Of her de-
ceased husband must necessarily go to
his creditors. The matter came up in
the distribution Of the estate of P.
Zaccaginni. The widow of the dece-
dent has always been a resident OF
Italy. She sought to take advantage
Of the exemption act of 1851.

Boy Charged With Miorski Murder
Must Go Before Grand Jury.
West Chester, Pa, Dec. 10.-George
W. Wahl, of Phoenixville, the boy ac-
cused of the murder Of little Mike
Miorski, was held for the grand jury
on a murder charge and the habeas
corpus writ in his behalf was denied
by the court.
The judges rendered their opinion
after each lawyer spoke briefly. Judge
Hemphill said: "Well gentlemen, we
have considered this matter. We regard
It as a serious one, and think It would
be improper for us TO discharge the de-
fendant. We therefore hold him and
direct the bill to be sent before the
grand jury" All witnesses were ex-
cused until the last Monday in jan
uary, 1905.
The commonwealth produced moth
ing beyond the testimony submitted
to the coroners jury. The evidence in
dicated that Wahl was near the old
house where the boy was murdered at
the time the crime is supposed to We
been committed.
1t was said the commonwealth had
in reserve witness, residing in Phila-
delphia at present, who would be pro-
duced IL necessary, and say that he saw
Wahl carry a bundle wrapped in a
coat or other cloth into the old house
at Williams Corner on October j, the
day of the murder.

MARsH RAhhlrs Ae Eoop.

A MILWAUKEE paper has made
"a n startling discovery It has
heard q rumor, which It credits. that
people IN the effete East have actually
taken to eating rats, and thinks that
they have copied the gastronomlc ideas
Of china.
That the animal in question is called
muskrat seems to be passed over as
a matter OF no consequence. The word
rat" is SUFFICIENT to cause the Journal
istic nose to elevate and TO sniff in
disgust. Many visitor to New Jer-
sey, Maryland or Delaware has held
the same view, and has been served
with "marsh rabbit much to his en-
ioyment.
SO we SEQ that everything is in a
name, although a muskrat Is no more
like the "varmant" that frequents
wharvos and storehouses than tur-
key is like turkey buzzard. For long
years the people along the Delaware
Bay and It's tributaries have known
the value OF this animal as an element
OF their diet They have had the
dellcaey pretty much TO themselves
until recently, but now the New Yorker
or the Philadelphian may order marsh
rabbit" at his restaurant, and pay a
pretty stiff price FOR It, There are a
great many things that the people of

MILK AND TUBERCULOSIS

A 7 LEAST one farmer OF New Cas-
I n tie county believes IN the official
inspection OF dalries and OF the cat
tie. He has an exceptionally fine herd
and endeavors to keep It in perfect
health. A year or two ago he became
interested in the subject OF tubercu-
losis in cattle. And while his animals
showed no signs OF the disease, yet as
a preoaution he had a veterinary make
an examination. with the result that
three OF his finest COWS were con-
demned.
Now what benefits have been derived
from that examination? As an hon.
est man he has had the satisfaction Of
selling only pure milk. and II paid him
in another way, for he hasn't had a
diseased animal since. But had he
not had an inspection when he did, the
disease would probably have run
through his whole herd.
II the statement OF the state veter-
marian OF Pennsylvania is true. that
diseased cattle condemned in that
State are being added to Delaware
herds. there is occasion for alarm. and
instead OF opposing legislation and
municipal ordinances to protect the
public, we should so much farther.

THE Mercantile Association would
Il put itself in an indefenslble posi-
tion should It take the attitude Of try
Ing to build a wall around this city to
make Il more diffioult for people to get
out, because OF the fear that when they
get away they may do a little shopping.
But q wall will keep people out as we'll
as Keep others in.
The people generally want cheap
transportation; they are always de-
handing 81; it is the one thing neces-
sary to this progressive age, and IL
means business. You can't keep peo-
pie away from Philadelphia by Arti-
fetal means, ana whom they are there
they are likely to purchase goods.
Does the Mercantile Association want
to go on record as favorlng a higher
rate for our people 10 pay who want
to go TO Philadelphia Does it sound
liberals
no; business will not be created in
any such way. We have always been
under the impression that in most
things people can buy as advanta-
geously in wilmington as in the larger
cities, and this shopping in philadei-
phia is largely a fadi but the people
must be educated 70 that fact, and
you can't convince them by putting up
rates OF transportation IN order 20
keep them a. home.
AS illustrating what we mean. we
know OF a woman who made trip
to Philadelphia just before Christmas
year ago to purchase a piece Of
jewelry for a gift. She found an arti-
Gle Of a unique design, costing sAo0,
and was delighted. The day before
Christmas she suddenly took a notion
that she wanted 10 give another person
an article just like the other. She was
advised to go to the Wilmington shops.
but declared that Il was useless Fin
ally she concluded TO make a tour to
see what they had The first shop she
walked into, on the first tray set be-
fore her she saw the exact duplicate
Of her Philadelphia purchase marked
$3.50.
Now let us see the difference in cost
Not to mention the matter Of time. her
railroad ticket cost 500; luncheon and
carfare. so cents. which brought her
purchase up TO $3.50. and she dupli-
Gated It in Wilmington for s3.5o.
And how did she come to patronize
a Wilmington store at last? Advertis-
ing. The advice Of a friend was the
best advertising. That friend was in
huenced by a sentiment favorable ia
our shops based on experience. on
reading the papers on window dis
plays and other things. TO keep bust.
ness at home, with a great city near
is a difncult matter, but it can bl
done. But the merchant must pre-
pare TO be competitor with the for

nights TO make that fact known. II
can't do it by asking higher rates o
travel in order TO keep our people a
