Vaccinating Against Anthrax.

The work of vaccinating the stock in
the districts where anthrax prevailed
last season was commenced last Thurs.
day ia Milford Neck, and Dr. KoOns
has been pushing the work ever since.
The State furnishes the vaccine virus
and charges half price for those who
had stock vaccinated last year. In other
words, it will cost for the three vacci-
nations Of each animal fifteen cents, or
TO those who did not have animals vac
cinated last year the price is thirty
cents for each animal. For Cedar Creek
district Or. Henry Marshall will prob
ably be appointed to DO the Nor' and
it should be commenced at an early
date. Neglect to have this work done
promptly may prove a serious loss to
the owners OF stock. Ala 2t.

RECITAL ON NEW
ESTEY PIPE ORGAN.
New $25OO Estey Pipe Organ Opened
in First Presbyterian church.
ANDREW CARNEGIE CONTRIBUTES.

The new pipe organ, recently COM
pleted for the First presbyterian
Church, was used for the fl rst time last
Tuesday evening. as announced last
week. The heavy rain which fell at
the time kept many people away who
otherwise would have been present. II
was the finest concert ever given in
Milford, without exception. The organ
playing of Prof. Henry s. Fry was
masterful. At will, he made the mag.
nificent instrument thunder, or sink to
the faintest whisper, and the solo effects
on the different stops wereespeciallye en-.
jOyed. Mis-. COrrinne West Anthony,
the soprano, captivated her hearers with
her rendition of "I Will Extol Thee, "
and her "EchO Song" with the eOrnet,
held the audience enthralled. Mr.
DOwdel's base solos were charming
and too much cannot be said in praise |
OF the cOrnet solos of Mr.. West.
The Estey Pipe Organ installed in
this church, represents the highest de.
velOpment of pipe organ construction.
The case is Of quartered oak, appropri-
ate in design, and the display pipes
are covered with clear gold leaf. 1t is
equipped with tubular pneumatic &C.
tiOn throughout as well as tubular
pneumatic stop action. The stop action
consists of an abridged key board just
above the manuals in the center Of the
organ. The depression of a white key
opens the register, or set Of pipes, while
the depression Of the corresponding
black key closes it. This renders it pos
sible to make changes of registration
much more rapidly than by the old
draw stop action. The organ ,
has nineteen stops, which include an
excellent variety of solo effects. In the
voicing of the instrument the various
tones are exceedingly pure and the
quality of each individual
tone is preserved throughout the length
Df the register. The full organ is ma !,
estic and thoroughly ecclesiastical in
character and notably Of sufficient vol
lme to fill the entire church.
The installation Of this magnificent
was made possible through h
he generosity Of Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, N
Ogether with the energy of the Chris "
ian Endeavor Society, congregation m
md friends. ~

Spraylng Trees GeneraI.

A ride through the fruit growing dis
tricts of Delaware reveals the fact that
the growers have awakened to the fact
that to grow fruit successfully they
must spray, and they are certainly do
iug it this spring to perfection. About
Wyoming, Bridgeville, Milford and
FELTON, are the points where it is most
universal, and it is safe to say, that If
the plan is persisted in, these points
will be the fruit centers Of the future.
