afternoon at ? o'clock
The funeral service was conducted by
Archdeacon George C. Hall of St. Johns
Episcopal Church and was attended by

hardy Cemetery.
Mr.. Klett was educated in this city and
later engaged in newspaper work here.
Eight years ago he went to Chester,
where he became connected with The
Morning Republican. Representatives of
that paper who attended the funeral were
Elwood Pierce. +. Allen Coe and J. +.
Niven.
That there are more things in heaven
and earth than are dreamed of IN his phil

filed the chair of the city editor of th'
morning paper; but during the illness OF

GROWERS GLOOMY
OVER PEACH CROP
From Present Prospects a
Light Yield Is Expected.
Cherries Destroyed
PLUM CROP A. TOTAL FAILURE
sneeIaI % The EvenIng journal

Laurel. April 22.-Growers are feel
ing very despondent over the outlook
for a peach crop.
Up to Tuesday last high winds and
other conditions counteracted the
frosts to such an extent that little
damage resulted but on Tuesday night
the temperature was very low, making
ice i'm exposed places.
There was no wind and the frost
was the most severe that has occurred
this spring. For a day or two the
peach buds showed little effect, as the
young fruit germs were nearly as large
as, a grain OF wheat and did not turn
black Immediately. Now. however.
they are shriveling and though still
not blackened show signs of sloughing
off. More than three -fourths of the
buds show this condition and while the
remainder. If all maWred, would make
a light crop. the thinning out by June
drop and other causes that would take
off a large percentage of the young
druit makes the prospect rather
gloomy.
A few growers still adhere to the
belief that enough buds - left unin-
jured to insure light crop. Cherries
and Japanese plums seem TO have
been entirely destroyed.

Two of the advanced students were

Three good positions were reported

The demand made on Cooley College

who are frst-class stenographers also

tion at Newark yesterdayt afternoon.
the liquor evil came up for discussion

bled vigor and the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
In view of the fact that the General

voters Of the state the privilege Of vot-
ing for or against the saloon. although
part of its members did all IN their
power to pass a bill of submission FOR
Kent county that was introduced by
our Brother Gamaliel Garrison, ana
staunchly ushered by him at every op-
portunity Therefore, be it
Resolved by this convention, that
first, we do hereby place ourselves on
record as firmly opposed to licensing
the liquor saloons.
Secondly-Realizing the importance
of reaching the minds and hearts of the
youth of our land and making impress
sions that shall not only keep them
from being patrons and victims OF
these infamous places. but shall cause
them to be a strong power Of opposi-
tion not only to the open saloon, but
also to the political organizations that
shall fail to do their whole duty to-
ward the driving out of our state the
| llegalized liquor business. Therefore
eve do recommend that our general
! secretary agitate this work of anti
saloon education through the officers
and teachers of the Sabbath schools OF
our State"

NO POLITICS IN 1T
Connolly Says He Condemned Build
inss Because He Was to Do So.

Building Inspector William NJ. Con-
molly vigorously denies that he con-
demned the sixteen houses in A street
beyond Third street bridge for politi-
cal reasons. When seen I'm respect to
the matter he said:
Il am surprised that anybody should
pretend to see anything political in my
action" said Inspector Connolly. 'for
my condemnation of the houses was
solely for the public good and had no
political significance nor was it actu-
ated by political motives. l have new
er yet nor do I propose to use the Of
flee OF building inspector TO try TO gain
political advantage for the Demo-
Gratis or to try 20 hamper the Repub-
licans. The truth Of the matter is that
was requested by one of the owners,
Mr. Bush, to examine and condemn the
buildings. Anybody looking at them
can readily see they should be torn
down. There are about four families
in the houses now, and the occupants
will have ample time to move and be
transferred so as to vote at the city
election"
