BARsERs GET MACHINERY.

some labor-saving device The barber

The unfortunate man who cannot
WELD a razor and scrape his own face
now has new-fangled machines and
contrivanoes thrust under his nose and
into his face. Instead OF having ones
face carefully bathed with witch hazel
or bay rum the liquid is blown into
nose, ears and eyes from powerful
atomizer. Then instead OF wiping the
face until it is dry valve is turned
and cold air is thrown against the,f
from a compressed air machine until
the skin Is almost frozen.
The suffering victim is cast from the
chair. For the next half day when
ever he smiles or opens his mouth he
feels as If his face was cracking. After
having this operation performed he is
afraid to try tho electric machine for

SUGGESTIONS FOR BALL PLAYERS

In few weeks the baseball player
will be with us once more and we will
be hurrying through our daily tasks to
the ball park to see the greatest OF all
games. The local team has not yet ar
rived, in fact all the players have not
been announced. For this reason 1t is
too early to venture prediction on the
strength of the team which viii repre-
sent Wilmington. Past experience has
shown that Wilmington must have a
winning team. Not necessarily a PEN
nant winner but one that keeps near
the top. This Is not all The players
must be gentlemen and act as such on
the field. DIRTY" players win not be
tolerated. Then the management must
see to 1t that the spectators act as gem
tlemen. II these few suggestions are
carried out we predict that the VIII
mington team will have a successful
and profitable season.

for the horrible crimes committed
there. II the coroners court in that
city was laid bare yesterday the most
appalling ana revolving crimes. Wit

All this came out while the coroner
was investigating the death Of a youns
woman, the victim Of her own sin. VIII,

Castle County Hospital, sounded a
timely and proper warning yesterday
when It cautioned the trustees to be
very careful how they rendered aid
to those who applied to them for
help. II is a well-known fact that
those succeed best who help them
selves. Some people are helped when
Il is not absolutely necessary and
when a little effort on the paft OF
the applicant would place them
IN a position where it would be iieces-
sary to ask for aid. Such people
easily become paupers. 4 quiet little

Packers Decide to Do Away
With the Undertakers'
Supplies
Special to the Evening Journal


Dover, March SL-A meeting Of the
canners and packers Of the Peninsula
In which was centered the interest OF
every farmer and fruit grower through
out the territory between the two bays
was held here all day yesterday at the
Hotel Richardson. The convention was
az first Intended as conference with
the executive committee Of the PENN
sula Packers Association, but the mat
ter or the pure food laws. imperfect
goods and prices came up for an inter-
estins discussion between the commit
teemen and other interested packers.
Among Dfomlnent cnnners here dur
ing the day were c. w. Baker, Of Aber-
deem, present owner Of many OF the
factories formerly owned by Isaac
Robinson. Of Baltimore; C. w. PAN
coast, Of Delaware city; II. b. Messin-
ser, Of Federalsburg t. Il. Greenbaum
of Seaford c. r. Jones, of Georgetown;
G. M. Dashiell, OF Princess Anne:
Charles T. WFightson, of Easton; l. T.

fecker, Of Smyrna; Henry p. Cannon,
of Bridgeville. Mr.. Honecker. who is
chairman of the executive committee,
presided, and Mr.. Dashiell. who is sec
retary Of the association, acted as sec
retary.
At the conclusion Of the conference.
Mr. Jones said.
I'VE have concluded that no more
soup shall be packed i'm cans and sent
out from here labelled tomatoes. We
have about decided on n basis of
weight Of the goods, on the exclusion
Of water and on the purity Of the con-
tents of every can. We will be sup
ported by the national pure food laws,
which we spent the day in discussing.
No Moro Undertaker's Supplies.
This business Of pumping into cans
Of goods what an undertaken pumps
into dead man. for the purpose OF
preservation or high coloring will also
stop We are determined that goods
that go out OF this State and peninsu-
Ia shall be absolutely pure and unadul-
terated-no colorlng in the tomatoes or
peas-everything 1T for an epicure.
There is a way to bring this about, and
we think we are on that way"
While the packers would not dis
close any schedule of prices TO be paid
this year, Il was admitted that 81 a ton
is to be the average paid for tomatoes
delivered at the factories this summer:
cents per pound for peas and $3.50 per
ton for corn on the cob.

MHAr ls NEWs7

one Of our ablest wilmington minis
ters on Sunday in sermon emphasiz-
ing the Importance Of broader and
more charitable views Of life. paid a
fno compliment to the press, emphasiz-
ing its power for morals education and
all that makes for right living. He then
went on to deplore the fact that In
the news items Of the day so much
space was given to events portrayins
the darker side Of life and which pic
ture vice and crime In all OF their hid
eousness.
Then, by way OF contrast, he called
attention to the millions Of kindly
deeds, tho acts Of philanthropy and the
many noble impulses which make this
old world G. ntplaco for human hahita-
tlon-few Of which find a place in the
columns OF daily paper.
Now Il ls fine to view life in this man
ner, and we believe, too, that 1t Is
proper. yet It repeats a criticism Of the
press which is common, yet which is
based on a partial view. The expert
1nents IN journalism covering many
years have demonstrated that the
newspaper is not only needed, but to
live It must publish the news.
It's stan may ahhor prize nghts, and
shudder at murders and robber'es; but
II for accounts OF these. essays and
poems are substituted, there WV be no
sales The people want the news and
they are entitled TO 1t.
And what Is news?
Nows IL that which deviates from the
normal which has the element Of the
unexpected. In letter from a friend
eve like to read OF the most striking
occurrences Of any nature Of which he
is the center. we don't care to learn
that he hasn't beat his wife, that he
has attended to business or that he has
provided for the wants Of his family.
These things we take for granted.
It Is so In the news Of public men;
good governor, who does what people
have a right to expect, and who gem
orally behaves himself furnishes little
news; for such conduct simply meas
ures up to the normal expectation. It
IS only when he departs from the path
Of rectltude and common sense that he
furnishes copy.
But news IS not confined to that
which IS morbid or depraved. Andrew
Carnegie never gave a library but that
tho papers seized upon the incident
II fireman drags woman from a
burning building II a child flags a
train and saves It from destruction, or
II senator puts aside a brlbe, the
news man is reioiced, for here is news
after his own heart.
Yes; news is the unusual or abnor-
NAL and. consequently II there are a
thousand good acts that are never pub
lished, to one story Of crime, It shows
that most men and Women at most
times In their lives are normal, doing
their plain duty, unostentatlously and
as matter OF habit; and. therefore.
they furnish the press no copy. And
80 we may see that the view OF life
held by our ministerial friend Is sound.

All the Reports From down the State
are to the effect that there will be
a big fruit crop this year. Farmers
are making good contracts for the
sale OF corn, peas and tomatoes to the
canneries. Thus the coming year
should be a prosperous one for our
granger friends. Already the farm
er-has his mind set on Improvements

buildings while the wife and daughter
are figuring on new gowns and a new
