The editor of The 81 era l d
thinks there must be mistake about
Rices paying from 15c to zoe per bush
el more for wheat than Little Falls.
There is no mistake ABOUT that. Roy
alton ia doing the same as Rice. The
difference on the price comes IN on
the grading. The farmers get better
grade for their wheat at those claces
than they do at Little Falls. One
farmer was paid SOC for his wheat at
Little Falls and the next load he
hauled to Royalton and got 80 cents
for it there a difference of 80 cents
per buahel The large amount of
wheat that is HAULED to Rice and
Royal ton from here ought to be
evidence enough that the wheat mar.
ket is better there than at Little
Falls.

More Trains to Stop.

Mayor Pusey and the members
of Havre de Grace city council ap
peared before the Senate committee
on corporations Wednesday to ask
that their people retain the priv
ileges now enjoyed in the way of
railroad accommodations from the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
A bill is now before the Senate
authorizing the railroad company
to construct a new bridge across
the Susquehanna, and the people
of Havre de Grace want inserted "a
provision compelling the corpora
tion to stop a certain number of
trains at Havre de Grace as at
present, so as to enable the resi-
dents to cross from one side to the
other free of charge.
Mr.. Bernard Carter, counsel for
the Pennsylvania company, entered
no objection to the demand, pro.
vided express trains continue to be
given through service. 1t was
finally agreed to stop ten trains on
either side each day, and this pro
vision was incorporated in the bill.
In its present shape the measure is
satisfactory to all concerned.

SWEET SHAD
The SuCculent Shad As Pictured
BY An Artist.
PRIDE OF THE CHESAPEAKE.

The Baltimore Herald pays the
follwing glowing tribute to that
toothsome specimen of the finny
tribe, the Maryland shad:
GAS soon as there are signs of
winter breaking up, naturally the
average citizen thinks of shad.
There are shad and shad. Some
specimens have already been seen
in the markets, but they came from
the far South, and while good in
their way, are not the Maryland
shad no more than the Florida
strawberry is the Ann Rannel
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., fresh and sweet
all the way through-that comes
along in the juicy month of May.
"No description has yet been able
to do justice to the Chesapeake
bay shad. 1t has to be eaten and
digested to be appreciated. If the
weather is favorable, in few
weeks we shall be feasting as we
do every year on the fat of the bay.
1t is possible after meal of plank
ed shad, with asparagus and other
trimmings, or feast on the roe of
this product, cooked as it ought to
be by a Maryland expert, that
those who have lost thousands of
dollars may walk through the burnt
district and be consoled that,
though earthly possessions have
gone up in smoke, the Maryland
shad has not failed in times of
trouble, and therefore life is still
worth living"

An Oxford Girls Picture.

The portrait of Miss Sadie
Dickinson, of Oxford, graces the
advertisement of a matted food
company published on the cover OF
the Ladies' Home Journal for
March. A short time ago she was
solicited together with several
other pretty girls to pose in costume
for a Photographic picture, the
work being finely executed by
Artist Thomas, of Oxford. The
result is the illustration of a pretty
milk maid standing beside a COW
with her arm resting upon the
animals neck. The cows portrait
was taken at the dairy of E. A.
Pugh, near Oxford, the two being
afterwards combined.-Press.
