PENINSULA PRODUCE EXCHANGE
Directors Of Maryland Organization
Decided Not to Pay a Dividend.

The board Of directors Of the. PENN
sula Product Exchange of Maryland met
at the general Office in Pocomole City
last week, at which it was decided not
TO pay any dividend on the stock this
year.
The secretary and treasurer made his
report OF the operations for the past
year showing the quantity of produce Of
all kinds handled by the Exchange. The
! report shows the handling of over fifty
thousand barrels Of Irish potatoes. but
not so many of sweets-the cultivation Of
this crop being confined almost solely to
the extreme lower part Of Worcester
county which borders on the line Of Vir-
ginia.
The shipment of cantaloupes was very
heavy around Salisbury. The Exchange
is now arranging to handle all Of these
goods possible ON a f. o. b. basis next
season. which will be more satisfactory
/ to the growers than throwing them all
/ on the New York market as in the past.
As the Exchange was not organized un-
til late in the year. the management was
not prepared TO handle berries and other
small fruits. However, during the COM
/ ing season the Exchange win do a large
/ business in this line.
The statement of the operations OF the
/ Virginia Exchange shows "a much larger
| business than that handled by the Mary
/ land Exchange. but it is believed the
/ farmers along the Eastern Shore win now
| engage in this work more largely and
with moro enthusiasm than they have N
tho past.

ALL VISITORS B4BBED
Judge Issues Order That None Be
Admitted 60 Mrs. Chadwick.
WILL BE NO MORE STATEMENTS

Her Lawyers VIII Oppose All At
tempts to Have Her Arraigned Un-
iii Her Trial Is Called, and Nothing
May Be Done Until March.
Cleveland, Dec. 17.-Mrs. Cassie L.
Chidwick will. from now to the time
Of her arraignment, be excluded from
oil visitors, and even her son and her
nurse viii be denied permission to see
her except on the written order of
United States Marshal Chandler.
An order was received at the jail
by Sheriff Barry directing him to deny
all people the privilege Of seeing her,
and he at once ordered that the nurse,
Freda Swanstorm, who was then in the
jail with Mrs. Chadwick, be ordered to
leave This action was in direct oppo-
sition to an order Of United States
Marshal Chandler, in which he direct
ed that Emil Hoover, the son of Mrs.
Chadwick, and the nurse should be ad-
mitted at any time to see Mrs. Chad
wick.
"The order applies to them as we'll as
to anybody else," said the sheriff "and
/ will ignore the order of Marshal
Chandler This is q county Jail, and
the federal authorities have nothing
to say about its administration. If
they don't like the way l run it, I
guess they can take their prisoners to
some other Jail"
Sheriff Barry has done everything in
his power for the comfort Of Mrs.
Chadwick, and the implication carried
by Judge Wings order that he was al
lowing too many people to see her was
not pleasing to him.
Sheriff Barry declared that no Wis
itors to Mrs. Chadwick would be per-
mitted to see her except in the regular
visiting hours at the Jail, which are
from 1 to o'clock on every day ex-
cept Saturdays. Sundays and holidays.
The order Of Judge Wing put a
period to the episodes at the Jail, and
her attorneys declared that there would
be no further developments in the le-
gal end of the case until Mrs. Chadwick
was brought into the court either for
arraignment or trial.
Receiver Loeser has been trying for
several days to arrange the time at
which he would summon Mrs. Chad
wick into the bankruptcy court, but her
attorneys will oppose this, and will OBJ
ject to any questions being put to her
until she is called for trial. Amy at
tempt to have her answer queries that
may prejudice her case will be op-
posed, and it was asserted with conf
dence by one of them that nothing
more will be done in the case until
March.
NJ. F. Bramley. a wealthy contractor,
called on Mrs. Chadwick just prior to
the receipt Of Judge Wings order with
Sheldon Kerruish, one of Mrs. Chad
wicks attorneys. He was asked if he
was going to give bail for her, and
said he was not. When asked if he in
tended to furnish money for the ex-
! penses Of her defense, he laughed and
would make no reply.

Although few people know It. VIII
mington is possessed OF a real live Eng
lish nobleman. who, according to his
story. has a title to which ne is entitled
and ranks as an earl in the British do
main. This scion Of nobility, however,
prefers the freedom Of America rather
than the duties Of court life and ac-
cordingly came 10 this country and en-
gaged in business in Wilmington. Sir
-- says he has spent many days at
Windsor Castle, London, as the guest
Of former Queen Victoria, and knew
King Edward. then Prince Of Wales,
well. He also spent some time with
Stanley I'm the wilds Of Africa and has
made many voyages upon the deep seas,
travelling on one occasion 1000 miles in
an open boat before he caught sight Of

STHERE are indications that the
n owners Of the large manufactur-
ing plants on the Brandywlne and the
Water Commissioners have reached
an understanding, under which when
put into legal form, the city will be
justified in constructing it's new
water works according to the plans
recently drawn, and which contemplate
taking the water from the Roclxland
dam.
There has been a certain amount OF
misconoeption, some OF it created by
one newspaper regarding the negoti-
atlons relative to the water rights
along the stream. The concerns whose
interests are involved, and their re-
spective officers. have always been
keenly interested in the city's welfare
and have shown this interest sub
stantial way on many occasions.
But this project involved a matter
which vitally concerned their vast
business interests. Their plants re-
quire two things water and power.
Now power depends on several things:
The volume Of water, its regular flow
and its football. All OF these fea-
lures their present ownership en-
braces Naturally. then, to surrender
their water rights to any considerable
degree is a serious problem to these
concerns. Good business sense de-
manded careful thought, ana the pro-
lection Of their own vital interests.
And while negotiations were pending,
the Water Commission suddenly turned
to the Ninth ward site and began TO
investigate that anew.
We don't blame the commission.
Probably its members concluded that
10 locate at the RoclIland dam would
involve too great an expense. but the
disposition in certain quarters to un-
dervalue the property OF the great
manufacturing plants on the stream is
without excuse.
From what information we can CLEAN
we understand that terms now have
been tentatively agreed upon which
win give the city the right to take the
water Il needs at a price considerably
lower than that suggested by experts.
It viii yes be large, but large conces-
sions are demanded. Whether the
price win prove too great for the city
TO pay is another question.

HEATED ATMOSPHERE.

TT SEEMS to us that the Every
4 Evening and the Morning News
are wasting a considerable amount OF
valuable space In trying TO decide the
exact quality OF Jacob II. Emerson's
Republicanlsm. Il has reached a point
where one Of these papers asks that
Mr.. Emerson himself settle the dis
pute by announcing his position. But
that gentleman appears to take the
sensible view that those who have
raised the hubub can settle 1t for them
selves.
Mr. Emerson is a candidate for the
Legislature, and his assets consist in
his past life; the voters win elect or
defeat him or his record, and that
counts for infinitely more than any
mere words uttered under a desire to
win votes.
And It may happen that the very
point about which our contemporaries
are wagng their titanic WARFARE win
never arise when Mr.. Emerson takes
his place in the Legislature. Events
may so shape themselves that he may
look back at the ink spattering and
softly murmur: Hot airl"

GAS AND REVENUES.

TN ITS answer TO the proposition OF
Il the councilmanic committee, pub
lished in this paper yesterday, the
wilmington Gas and Electric Company
touches on two points Of considerable
interest. There is an intimation that
the local gas company intends to re-
duce the pfice Of gas lat no distant
day; and as reductions have been
made periodically in the past, we do
not doubt that in n year or two we
shall have our gas cheaper. In this
letter the gas company maintains that
the price OF gas is fixed largely by the
average that abtains among cities
where the same general conditions pre-
vail, and not by local competition,
which IS annoying and wasteful.
There is something I'm this answer.
for IL practically all the cities Of our
size, which have about the same ad-
vantages as 10 their fuel supply pay
81 per thousand cubic feet for gas,
then before there is an effort to secure
reduction. the cost should be looked
into. Particularly is this true il there
/ is any serious thought of a municipal
lighting plant.
But the letter Of the company touch
ed upon a matter Of more vital inter-
est TO our people We need more
revenue, and real estate is now bear
ing too great a burden. There is nc
inducement for people to invest their
money IN the erection of houses; and
tenants are required to pay rents that
are out Of proportion to the value OF
The houses they occupy; and this is
because real estate is bearing practi-
cally the whole burden.
The gas company intmates that IT
is willing to pay tax based on the
'alue OF It's franchise. providing there
'oncerns receiving the benefits derived
,rom municipal favors are placed in
The same class Now here Is a sug-
gestion that our city fathers should
bear in mind, and If there can be
legislation placing part Of the burden
OF government on such companies. II
VIII be a wise and equitable solution
But 1t must be in accordance with q
comprehensive plan, ana not be done
lplecemeal
out Of all this gas agitation some
good is bound to come, and the admis-
sion by the local company that cor
porations enjoying municipal fran
chises should bear a part OF the tax
burdens If equltably laid, is worth
something

Why will people continue to suffer
the agonies Of kidney complaint-back-
ache, urinary disorders, lameness and
stiffness in the back, why allow them
selves to become chronic invalids,
when a certain cure is offered them?
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy to
use because it gives to the kidneys the
help they need to perform their work.
That Doan's Kidney Pills cure and
cure permanently is proved in a Will

eases, cure yourself now, before dia-

in. Read this testimony.
c. p. Davis, retired. business man,
Of 1400 West Fourth street, Whining
ton, Del, says: "As have already
stated IN a testimonial given in 1897,
Doans Kidney Pills procured at DAN
forth's drug store, relieved me OF a
great deal Of suffering from kidney
trouble. The principal symptom was
a dull heavy aching pain across the
small of my back, and the kidney Sc
cretions were too frequent and often
accompanied with a painful burning
sensation. Doan's Kidney Pills so
promptly relieved ire Of these troubles
that did not hesitate 10 recommend
them. Now, after a lapse o. - ga
years. I can confirm my previous tes-
timony and state that have had no
reason TO change my opinion OF
Doans Kidney Pills and endorse them
just as strongly as did in 1897"

Will Pocket Their S500,oO0 Loss and
Say Nothing Unless Compelled.
Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE Chad
wick sensation has only fairly begun
in Pittsburf, according to financial au-
thorities. The $5OO,0OO note issued by
Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick one year ago
has been located here, but it is the
general belief that it will never be
brought to light if the Pittsburgers
can help it, as it would give their repu-
tations as fnanciers a heavy blow.
The note in question was given to a
bank in neighboring city. It is due
January z, 1906. Until it is due and the
borrower has defaulted payment the
subject of the paper is not a privi-
legged communication. II the negotia-
tors and the directors Of the bank are
willing to pocket the loss by making
the amount good it will be utterly
squelched. This is what will be done,
unless the federal authorities subpoena
the bank officers and compel them to
testify against the woman if the note
remains unpaid.
In a telegram to the Pittsburg Dis
patch Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick denies
that she is in debt to any Pittsburg
bank. The telegram says:
kindly deny report that ! owe
money to any Pittsburg banks. do
not owe them one dollar.

The Fathers
Job

If you lose your job next
week could your son hustle
for himself-could he earn his
living7
Do you think it's right not
to be training him in every
way you can for life's battles =?
Is it a square deal" to let
him hustle for himself in his
shirt sleeves when a few dol
lars from you would let him
qualify for a place behind the
desk ?
Where do you want him to
be when he's as old as you are
he isn't your son if he
couldn't beat you out if he
had a technical training.
You're a mighty poor father
if you won't do your level best
to help your sen get a better
place than you've ever earned
the boy that's got a good
father and a good training
simply doesn't know what
"hard luck" means.
Don't do the work for your
son--that's the way you'll ruin
him quickest. Make him do
for himself--that's what will
make him worth while.
If you really want to give
him the best Christmas he
ever had help his education
along-give him a scholarship
in the International Cores
pondence Schools. Afford it ?
Why, you can't afford not to.
Here are some of the things
he can learn through the 1. G
