Worship at St. Paul's.

IN local article, in our morning contemporary
Il concerning ST. Paul's Methodist Episcopal
Church on Market street, it stated that the good
Mehodists in charge Of that edfice hoped that some
day daily religious services for people down town
might be held there. The suggestion is worthy Of
consideration and may be adopted at no far distant
date One of the religious developments of late
years has been the frequency of services during the
week and an earnest endeavor to bring men at all
times within the sphere Of religious influences in their
every day lives And this effort has met with much
success.
The Roman Catholic churches are, and have been,
open daily for deyotons of those of that faith In
the larger cities many of the Episcopal churches are
open daily also for such worship, and the custom is
spreading in that branch of the church During the
lenten season. especially frequent services are the
rule and the Mehodists in addition hold their revival
services More frequent worship or at least the
opportunity for worship is becoming the prevalent
idea. It would not be at all surprising to daily
services in old St. Paul's and without doubt there
are many who would welcome such practice.

Prophet Of Pumpkins.

"A CCORDING to the Milford Chronicle an au-
\ thorty on agricultural matters, the most Won
derful man in that line who has appeared in Sussex
county in this generation at least, is Thomas Pretty
man, salesman in an up-to-dae grocery store of the
famous old town along the banks of the Mispillon.
Mr. Prettyman says the Chronicle, last year planted
one single, lone, pumpkin seed. Now to the aston
ishment of Mr. Prettyman, from this one seed grew
ONE HUNDRED AND TEN PUMPKINS and
each pumpkin weighed from TEN TO SEVENTY
FIVE POUNDS.
Everybody will want one of Mr.. Prettymans
famous pumpkins. The product of that one seed,
of course, must be wonderful. Mr.. PreHyman as
a fruit and vegetable grower certainly outranks the
celebrated Burbank, of California Hon. Paynter
Frame, of Indian River hundred, of watermelon fame
is utterly eclpsed. Shadrach Short of Sussex coun-
ty, who, in the olden days, used to grow ears Of
of fabulous length and size never accomplished
such feat as Thomas Prettyman is reported to have
done. Hon. James T. Shaicross. whose Keffer
pears are said to have graced the table of the King
of England will have to admit that he is outdone as
a tller of the soil by the New Milford Prophet Of
Pumpkins. The Pullens, the Rosas Colonel Towns
end, himself, all of the Milford neghborhood, will
doubtless yield to Mr.. Prettyman the banner. Thous-
ands Of bushels of potatoes have been raised yearly
by Col James j. Ross. of Seaford but if the Pretty
man story is verified Colonel Ross will doubtless
abandon potatoes and 80 to pumpkins Senator
Charles Wright had better drop at once thoughts of
booming apples as a Delaware product and declare
for the humble pumpkins. All the city manufac-
turers and dispensers of pumpkin pies at five cents
the wsdge will at oncery to get hold of Mr. Pretty
mans pumpkins. We doubt the story. Had it
come from rosy correspondent about Laurel we
should not have been surprised But at the same
time we must admit that Colonel Townsend. of the
Chronicle, himself, has grave misgvings. Under
meath the item he publishes, he solemnly adds
This is a monsuous tale; almost equal to Colonel
Sellers"

\ with the great game that will compel inter

the army and Of the navy are to meet upon the edron
at Princeton and all the officialdom of Washington
will be there. The President and members of his
cabinet are to grace the occasion with their presence
It is needless to add thata record breaking crowd
viii assemble under the walls of old Nassau to see
the lusty champions of the two branches Of the service
contest in struggle for supremacy. Athletics at
Annapolis and West Point are untainted in the SLIGHT
est degree. by professionalism and no charges Of
paid or influenced players, such as have been
made against some of the college teams, could stand
against these two elevens
The players, no doubt will be on their good be-
havior as the fate Of football in the government schools
may depend upon the conduct OF the participants
in grdiron battle at Princeton to-day.
This season the President has manifested much
interest in the sport and this afternoon as witness of
the struggle at Princeton, he will be able to secure
definite knowledge Of the roughness of the game as
played under the latest Developments

Fighting San Jose Scale.

HE fatal San Jose scale is still bothering the
4 fruit growers Of the state. They are almost
at their wits ends in trying to devise an Inexpensive
plan to combat this evil. The State Board of Agr-
culture is devotng much time and energy to the study
of the pest and the farmers and fruit growers are
being informed of the latest results from time to time
of the department investigation.
The scale is reappearing in many of the peach
orchards throughout the middle state peach belt.
Some Of the young trees upon which the orchardists
hang such high hopes are reported as being afflicted
with the scale.
The subject is of increasing interest to this county
also, within the last few years many orchards of
peach and other trees have been planted. especially
in the lower hundreds of the county. revival of
peach growing is engaging the attention of many
thoughtful farmers even in New Castle county where it
had been supposed that peaches had entirely played
out" Hence the importance of encouraging the
work Of the State Board of Agriculture and the New
ark experiment station in its warfare on the scale

PosTMAsTER AT MIpDLEroWN.

THE death of the highly respected postmaster Of
4 Middletown, creates vacancy in that office.
As the chief representative Of the state at Washington,
Senator Alice will doubtless at early date, recon-
mend appointment Of a successor Of Mr.. Jolls
There is of course. considerable speculation as to
who will be approved by the senator for this position.
The senator will have precedent to guide him in
recommending postmaster should he care to follow
it. When Congressman John Henry Hoffecker Of
Smyrna died, the Republican party decided that
representative Of Mr.. Hoffeckers family. his son
Hon. w. o. HoffecSer, should be nominated to fill
the unexpred term of his father. If this custom be
followed Senator Alice would ndorse Mr. John W.
Jos to succeed his father aspostmasera at Mddletown
Mr. Alice is not bound to take this course but would

Tho real estate market Is beginning to
boom and there is lively demand for
houses Builders are at their wits end
because Of the unusual rush Of home seek
ers and are continually complaining Of the
lack Of skilled labor, particularly Of lath-
ers and plasterers Bricklaycrs are also
in demand and contractors are dreading
the coming of the time when work viii
be started on the several large buildings
that will shortly be erected IN whining
ton. If outside firms are awarded the con-
tracts for these structures. however, II is
expected that they will import most OF
their skill labor from other large cities,
and in this way relieve the situation
somewhat.
Small Houses IN Demand.
The demand for small houses IS as great
as ever and real estate men find no
trouble to get buyers The demand they
say, exceeds the supply, but as dwellings
of this kind are going up every day it is
hoped that the market viii finally be sat
isned.
AS a criterion of the present prosperous
building era. it is estimated by Building
Inspector William NJ Connolly. that no
less than 80 buildings are now in course
of construction throughout the city A
great many of this number are going up
in the Eleventh ward, showing that this
section of the city is keeping pace with
the Ninth ward and is adding greatly TO
the population Of Wilmington.
Big November Gain.
The building operations during last
month cost $4,000 which is double the
amount for the corresponding period Of
last year. Inspector Connolly is clated at
this showing. but expects December to
be the banner month of the year.
Since Monday last City Registrar Nc
