ands of bushels of these oysters to
dispose of as plants, and when the
end of September comes, the supply
of oysters on the natural beds of
the Mispillionis is practically exhaus-
ted for that season. Milford is de-
prived of her natural source for sup
plies, and the country surrounding
her IS also compelled to pay high
prices for oysters from the Chesa-
peake. The license should be
made prohibitive for spectators,
and the oystermen of Milford are
earnest in their demand for a high
protective tariff on this commodity.
The next session of the legisla-
ture should wipe away all laws on
the books bearing on this subject,
and enact such as will bear equally
on all concerned, and at the same
time protect the natural oyster beds
againstrobbery, that the peoplemay
enjoy the luxury that God has
given unto them.

WITH this week the oyster sea-
son closes, so far as profitable work
ing of the natural beds in the Mis-
pillion river is concerned. Fully
fifty thousand bushels of oysters
have been taken from the beds since
the opening of the season, and the
facts upon investigation show that
there is need for radical measures
being taken to protect the oyster
supply in the Mispillion. AS it
now stands, by the payment of a
license of only three dollars any
person may engage in longing oys-
ters in this river, and there is the
open part of the whole question.
The oystermen want high tariff
enacted for their protection, and
protection of the oyster supply for
the town of Milford. The license
should be not less than twenty-five
dollars per year for the privilege
of longing in the Mispillion, and
the laws regulating the open season
be made uniform over the
State. As the matter now stands,
the tongers from Murderkill where
the open season for taking oysters
is not until the first ofOctober, |
,ome into the Mispillion by paying
he three dollar license, and by hav-
ng wagons haul the oysters over
and few miles, they get thous-

WITH tomatoes selling at a fair
price could they be placed on the
city markets, the farmers of this
section of Delaware are compelled
to see part of their late tomato crop
rot upon the ground simply be-
cause the freight rates prohibit
their shipment. This is another
forcible lesson to the farmers, both
to the renter as we'll as to the land
owner, that they can we'll afford to
subscribe for stock in a steamboat
to run from Milford to Philadel-
phia. The farmers of this section
are standing in their own way of
progress by failing to take an ac-
tive interest in this matter. Ifany
one will act, there will be no diff

From the New York Tribune.
At the Inauguration of Dr. Flavel 8. Luz
Their. the new president of Trinity College,
student said:
II want to tell you about a mishap that
befell DR.. Luther one morning last month.
HE boarded one of our Hartford street
cars, rode mile or so with his eyes fixed
on his newspaper, and close on the end
of his journey, looked up and spied one
of his students crumpled in corner.
The student was in wretched plight.
His clothing was stained, his linen soiled,
his hair unbrushed. His face was pallid,
and his eyes were bloodshot and dull. He
looked i'll; he looked a wreck: and it was
easy to see what the trouble was.

bath and his good breakfast, arose to get

the opera and receptions.
The chiffon and flower stole in question
has possibilities of warmth in its layers of
filminess, and it covers most comfortably a
decollete bodice, for it comes well down
over the shoulders and back Its founda-
ton is a series of shirred and pleated chif-
fons. The under one, which serves as a
lining, is white and is shirred in tucks
across from end to end. This makes good

gown, and are light enough to avoid crush
ing it. The outside of the stole is covered
with pink accordion pleated chiffon laid
| over the foundation in waved effect and
then all around the edge is double ruching
of pale pink, which is discontinued across
the stole ends to give place to a very deep
double frill of point applique, through which
is seen glimpse of the pale pink lining.
With all its puffings and shirrings the
stole is quite an inch or more thick, which
gives an excellent background for the gar

A WOMAN'S SCHEME.
Dressed Her Dog as Baby and Fooled
Conductors.
From the Portland Oregohian.

From the Portland Oregohian
This is a real true dog story.
He is pug and a great pet of his
mistress, who is very fond Of his. fine pedi-
gree. One day she discovered that Teddy
could not see as well as usual. She felt
| as sad as II he were brother sister,
and a famous oculist was consulted, who
| told her to bring her pet dog to him.
They started, but a great obstacle present
ed itself Conductor after conductor insist
ed that the dog should not ride on his
car: SO that it was only after getting on
| and off about a dozen times that the doc
tors office was reached.
Teddy was as quiet as he could be while
having his eyes examined, and his mistress
was told she must bring him every day for
month, and all would be done for him
| that was possible. So Teddy's mistress
went to a neighbor who had a small baby,
and borrowed an outfit that was not too
| dainty. Teddy kept very quiet while being
| dressed in the long white dress, then a
| cloak and muslin cap, and over the face
| a long white veil
| Thus they started. Immediately upon en-
tering a car. if it was filled, up would jump
| man to give the woman carrying a little
| baby good seat. Teddy never wagged his
| little curled up tail once. neither did he
| bark.
| Each day the trip was taken with the
same result-a good seat and very quiet
| baby.
| One day the doctors office was filed with
| people waiting their turn, when a woman
| turned politely to Teddy's mistress and
| said: my turn comes next and I will
| walt for you on account Of your baby. 1t
| is so very tiresome to wait with a baby"
| The doctor opened his door at that mo-
| ment and called them both in his private
Office He said: 81 will show you the very
| best patient I have and took Teddy care
| fully in his arms. He threw back the white
| veil and disclosed the dogs little pug nose
| and pert little face looking out cutely from
| under the frilIs Of the cap.
Teddy see pretty well out Of one
| eye now. His mistress expected huge bill
| for the experts service, but instead she
| received a receipted bill from the good

A Fair Offset,
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Charles NJ. Schwab, like most men of
wealth, gets innumerable letters asking
him to subscribe to charities. When Mr.
Schwab is assured of a charitys usefulness,
he subscribes, but often, OF course, he has
to refuse to give to charities about which
he is dubious.
Not long since Mr.. Schwab received a
letter from stranger in London.
Knowing as 1 do your generosity" this
stranger wrote, II have put you down for
f40 or $500 subscription to our miners
widows fund. Christmas is approaching,
and we propose to give fowl and a
Christmas pudding to each miners widow
on Christmas eve. In this good work your
donation will help largely"
Mr.. Schwab replied to the stranger as
follows:
Though I know nothing of you or of
your fund, 1 respond gladly to the call you
make upon me. I, too, am interested in a
charity similar to yours. 1t is an American
charity. and since 1t stands in need of
funds for Christmas treat 1 have not
hesitated to put you down for a subscrip-
ton of $500 to it. Thus no money need pass
between U.S."

WHERE THE GREAT WEALTH Is
Great Riches Of France Divided Among
the Multitude.

From the New York Sum-
In France a man is called millionaire IL
he Is the possessor Of 90, 600 francs, or, In
other words. has property worth $4,000.
According to a recent computation by lie
Renter, the French financial newspaper,
there are not 10000 persons in France who
have that amount of property, though there
are possibly ten persons In the country
who have fortunes of $19,000,000 or more.
All the holders of great fortunes may easily
be mentioned by name; only about 100 per-
sons are worth between 81 100000 and &c.,.
100000, and 1900 have accumulated or in
herited property valued at from $193. 900 to
$3S6,0O0. That is, France has very few rich
citizens The French republic has vast
wealth, but it Is divided into vast num-
Der of little savings.
This distribution OF wealth In France Is
indicated by the facts that in 1902 there
was left by persons dying property of the
heritances distributed in that year more
than 300 900 consisted Of sums ranging from
20 cents to 81 $50. About two-tbirds of the
property to be distributed was In sums OF
$500 to $400. The large inheritances, from
about $50 900 to 100000, represented only
0.04 per cent of the total amount, and the
property to be divided amounting to more
than 100000 represented less than 001 per
cent Of the total value. II we go through
the entire field of French industry we shall
see that in the shop, the factory and on the
farm the man of small means In the aggre-
gate is the moving impulse In French en-
terprise. France occupies only one-eisnt-
area is only a little over one-ffteenth that
of this country. but there are as many
farm properties in little France as there
are In our wide domain.
