n Scant Fruit Year.

Tt now seems evident that this is to be
a year of fruit scarcity in the eastern
section Of the United States, says the
baltimore American" unless California
comes to the rescue and ships the needed
supplies clear across the Continent. The
Georgia peach crop, which is now prac-
tically at the finish, was less than half as
large as the crop of last year LII Eastern
MARYLAND and Southern Delaware few
peach orchards arc in bearing this year,
and this peninsula crop OF the lucious
fruit which usually stocks the markets
from Baltimore to Boston, and as ia!
West as Buffalo, will be almost entirely
missing. In isolated instances, wher.
growers can gather few scattering bas
kets from their richards. they will be
able to secure fancy prices. Other kinds
of autumnal fruit are not in the usuaA
abundance. Grapes are retailing al u
usually high prices, and good summer
apples are selling at figures not known
before in many years. Even lemons,
which, during many previous seasons,
have been remarkable for their cheapness
are now retailing at fancy prices.
The United States is so varied in soil
and climate that universal fruit failure
is of rare occurrence. There is not, OF
course. a universal fruit failure this year
there have been fruits in market con
tinuously since January. There seems
to be such general shortage this year,
however that the fresh fruit supply has
moved into the classification Of luxuries
from being the cheap summer commodity
which it usually is. In modern times
fruits have come into use as an article
of diet to an extent that vastly exceeds
the consumption of fifty or sixty years
ago Fruitgrowing in certain territories
has become staple industry. There are
apple, pear and peach orchards that cover
hundreds Of acres, and strawberries and
grapes are grown in like profusion and
shipped to the city markets in carload
lots. In this county esp ecially have the
arts of horticulture been developed and
expanded Fruits are not only supplied
in abundance for fresh consumption to
the cities, but they are extensively canned
preserved and evaporated, and in such
forms they enter largely into the export
commodities that are sold abroad
A general fruit failure is not quite so
serious as an extensive shortage in wheat
or in cotton, but it is a matter of serious
moment. even when fruits are so scarce
as to be high priced and and not cheap,
as they usually are, in this country. If it
should happen that We must import a
considerable portion of our malic acid
supply this year, that will be an unusual
and somewhat deplorable circumstance.

Drum Point Deal Still Open.

The movement to revive the Drum
Point Railroad scheme is still under
negotiations, as is shown by the fol-
lowing dispatch to The Baltimore
News from New York Wednesday:
edward Lauterbach said today
that negotiations for the sale of the
Drum Point Railroad were still pend
lag; and until they were completed be
would have nothing 10 say about the
matter. He could not tell whether
the sale would be completed. "A rep.
resentative of the Goulds here declar-
ed this morning that several PROPOSE
tons had been made by different pro-
moters to sell the Drum Point to the
Western Maryland, but that none of
these had been acted upon. Neither
Mr. Lauterback nor Colonel Shuttle
had any comments to make on that
Statement"
A $ stated 10 "Tne News" last Sat.
urday, the property was declined by
the Western Maryland Railroad, on
the ground that there was no advan-
tage to that Company to build ter
minals at Baltimore and then dupli.
cate them at Drum Point. For the
same reason the scheme did not ap-
peal to either the Baltimore and Ohio
or the Pennsylvania Railroad. II has
it's value in the business that could be
secured at Drum Point by the possible
location of canning industries there
and by handling the oyster business
that could be turned into that harbor
To this would be added the develop

railroad 80 miles long from Balti-

Tho pemocraoy's DIVIDED House

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The only way in which the country
gets a chance to remember the name Of
the man who headed the Democratic
ticket i'm 1904 is by the attacks upon
him which are being made by the
Democrats. Congressman Baker (New
York; dcnOunces his party for putting
up Parker last year. and says that the
men who stood back Of his candidacy
Were the heads of the big monopolies
and trusts incidentally, too, he re-
marks that the Republican party today
is showing the shrewdest politics it has
ever displayed. 1T is" he says. Civ
ing rope to the Southern Democrats,
and they are hanging themselves.
This Is a double attack ON the Demo-
cracy by a Democrat. 1t is an assault
on the Hill-Cleveland-B Belmont element,
which is primarily responsible for the
nomination of Parker, and it hits the
Southern faction, which has begun to
show some prominence i'm the party
councils since the smash-up on Novem-
Der s, 1904. Some of the Eastern Dem
ocrats have been saying that the way
for the Democracy to be saved is for
the Southern wing of the party to as
sumo the leadership. This robust New
York Democrat says Democracy has
too much South in it already. Primar-
ily this is probably an attack on Will
liams (Mississippi), the party's titular
leader in the House. who has recently
developed am incapacity for leadership
which recalls the old days of the blum
dering Of Richardson and Bailey when

Quarantine in Scarlet Fever.
Editor Evening journal.
Dear Sir: In your New Castle letter
OF 9Th inst. ] note a certain paragraph
which states that the Board Of Health
Of this city has not the authority to es-
tablish a strict quarantine In cases Of
scarlet fever beyond upon the patient
who is suffering with the malady. This
same article states that persons living
In the houses are permitted to go
about their daily business. but chill
dren are not permitted to go TO school.
AS Secretary OF the Board of Health
l desire to correct the wrong impress
sion created by these statements. par
tlcularly as TO the first section of this
paragraph. Paragraph OF "An or
dlnance to amend an ordinance en-
titled an ordinance relating TO the
health OF the city" reads as follows:
'The Board of Health are hereby
empowered to adopt such means Of
quarantine in contagious or infectious
diseases as in their judgment the
health Of the city may require, and any
person who shall fail TO observe or
comply with the directions OF the Board
OF Health in such cases. shall upon
conviction before the Municipal Court.
forfeit and pay a fine of twenty (2O)
dollars"
You will therefore readily per-
ceive that the board has ample
and full authority TO adopt a
most stringent and absolute quar-
antine II necessary. This board
has adopted a plan which bears out the
statement OF the second section Of your
article that heads OF families are per-
mitted to go about their daily business,
not because the board has not the au-
thority to prevent It. dbut to prevent
any unnecessary hardship, suffering or
Inconvenience to business, and working
men who may be the wage Garner or
bread winner upon whom those af-
fiicted must depend for the necessities
and comforts OF living. In all of these
cases we insist on the patient being
isolated and kept I'm room with attend
ing nurse. until convalescent, under
penalty Of quarantining entire family II
instructions are not complied with.
Other ordinances provide that chill
dren shall not be permitted to go "a
school during sickness. and until ten
days after recovery OF patient. Oui
system in this respect is to notify the
superintendent of public schools imme-
diately upon the receipt Of. or conva-
lescence of. a case. who I'm turn noti.
fies the principal OF the school wher,
children who have been afflicted, ma,
have been attending. In an cases ol
contagious or infectious diseases. quar-.
antined houses are always placardet
by our officers, who give instruction,
regarding quarantine regulations and
who are always at the service Of thos,
who may be afflicted.
