Fine SpOrt Fishing off Slaughter Beach.

A party of gentlemen from Milford
composed of Messrs. William BRYAN,
DR.. James P. Lofand, Frank Robin.
son, Harry Windsor, and the proprie
tor OF Slaughter Beach, Edward Rey.
nolds, have set rapid pace for the fish.
ermen to follow in the fishing score
they made last Monday morning, and
they are justly proud of the score, which
was made in less than three hours.
They first went to the buoy, but only
one fish resulted from their effort al
that point, and DR.. Lofland was the
fortunate one to capture it. They next
went to the old coral bed eff Hog Is.
land, where they soon found trout and
sea bass ready to bite the bait, and
where they landed niAety-eight beau.
ties This is no fish tale, but the re.
suits Of the days sport were exhibited
when the boat landed, and also were
spread out in the ice house at Slaugh.
ter Beach for all to see.
There were several interesting Incl
dents of the day told by some of the
party and only DR.. Loffand is capable
of doing Justice to them. The most
dramatic story is that of William
Bryan, who caught a drum fish and
after playing it for twenty minutes had
it at the side of the boat ready to take
in, when an assistant by striking il
with hook caused the nearly exhaus-
ted fish to strike again for freedom and
cleared itself from the hook. Mr..
Bryan shed tears. and, so the doctor
says, broke several of the command
ments; but it is a fact, that he was in a
bad humor for hours afterward, quit
fishing, and wanted to go ashore.
At no other point on the Delaware
Bay is the fish ng equal to that just of
Slaughter Beach, and the naptha
launches kept there for this work, are
well equipped and manned by exper-
fenced fishermen. Those who enjoy
fis' ing and there are many in and
around Milford-will have to hustle to
beat the record made by the above
named party in the time they were
fishing.

given the general public along that
line. Every one should have a copy
of this book. 1t will meet the demand
not only for general utility but for art

School Elections on Saturday.

The incorporated school districts Ol
Delaware will hold their annual school
Elections next Saturday at their various
places of meeting. In Milford there
will be very little contest made, as the
people are satisfied to let the present
school commissioner complete the
work Of finishing the new builGing,
and provide for the operating Of the
schools. As the election of three en-
nTely new men would not make any
change in the majority of the Board,
u Is not likely that any opposition will
develop.

May Cause An Accident.

Photographs Of the streets, local
scenes in and about Milford and of the
recent flood, have been handsomely
made by the local photographer, Mr..
Daugherty, that are very interesting.
One sett shows the results ofimprOviDg
the streets. and these views are object
lessons in themselves. 1t would be
more so could the previous condition
of these streets be shown at their side
but the purpose of these pictures as
made by Mr.. Daugherty is to show
the beauty of the town to those who
are strangers to us. They ase really
excellent souvenirs and make very
pretty Introductory cards strangers.

possible for the dav to be observed with
out the horrible din of the fire-crackers.
They have arranged a game cf ball for

the subscribers and STOCKHOLDERS of the
Association. The three games between
Chester and Milford will draw large
crowds, and should put the Association

Two Walnut Trees Pay Big Money.

Had n. ]. Pierson have kept the pro-
perty he sold to James H. Latchum,
he wou d have very nice income from
two English walnut trees that he sci
in the yard of that property twenty
years ago. These trees are now large,
healthy growing aud measure fifteen
inches across the butt, and are loaded
with fine crop of walnuts. Mr.. Lat
cbum sells these nuts from his store,
and at the lowest estimate will get four
or five bushels of them this season;
and, as 56 mounds make a bushel, and
the wholesale price has never been be-
low ten cts per pound, and frequently
higher, it will bring in a nice revenue
from two trees, which also serve the
purpose of makiug a very handsome
shade in his yard. They stand exposed
TO the bleak cold winter winds and are
in no way shielded, so that the culture
of English walnuts is possible indus
try in Delaware that you'd equal
orange culture in Florida. A grove set
now now would be handsome legacy
to leave to the girl or boy at the end Of
this life

EXPORTS OF COPPER.
British ironmonoer Says, Very Little
 Conner About.

British ironnonser Says, Very Little
 Copper About.
 The British Ironmonger calls stten- tion to the fact that the exports of copper from this country in the first three months of the year have been within 10000 tons of the average American production in this period of time: this provides one of three things; either that there has been a large increase in the production or else the domestic consumption has baen exceedingly small. which is hard to believe. Therefore the most req sonable explanation is that the stocks of copper were underestimated early this year and have been more than sufficient to supply the extra demands Ironmonger estimates as 45,000 tons. The Ironmonger says: The position of the article is a matter of belief. not of demonstration, but there is concensus of opinion that there is very little copper about now in the United States. This was also the general opinion three months ago, but it did not prevent America in Febru- ary shipping practically her entire months production to Europe. leaving the home trade either 17,0O0 or 1S,- 900 tons of accumulated stocks or else go without altogether. To a lesser extent the same conditions ap- piled during January and March, 50 that it is idle to say that there was no reserve copper in ware houses in the United States at the beginning of the year. There must have been a substantial surplus. During the last three months the American shipments were 10000 tons to Europe, against 32.000 tons and 44,000 tons respective ly in the same period in the two years previous. During this period the United States probably produced about 8O,00O,o00 tons, so that during the three months only some 10000 tons were left from production to sup ply domestic consumers with a mat ter of, say. 55,000 tons. If the diff. ference between these two figures (55.o0o tons less 10000 tons) did not come from stocks, where did it come from? And if 1t came from stocks. then what assurance is there that the accumulation held, whatever 1t may have been, has been altogether liqui- dated? The metal which has been shipped to Europe. athoug now "out of sight" has most certainly not been and the ample supplies pur- chased should enable people here, if hey were so disposed, to remain out Of the market for some weeks at least,
