Harvested 5000 Bushels From Forty Acres
and II is of the Finest Qualify.
Former Sheriff Joseph Mcdaniel of
Kent County is the first to earn the IT,
tie of ''corn king" of DelaYare this
year. Mr.. Mcdaniel at his farm above
Dover made a speciality this year of
corn breeding. He applied liberal
spreading of manure, ploughed under
COW peas and crimson clover and
worked the ground thoroughly to see
what Delaware soil could do when
given fair chance. Thursday he
placed on exhibition in Dover, corn
which shows that the game was worth
the candle. From forty acres he has
harvested 5000 bushels. The twelve
ears which he produced at the Office Of
Henry E. Moore weighed within q
fraction of nineteen pounds, and were
in length measure an average twelve
inches. The grains are full and large
and some of the ears were perfect in
symmetry containing 1000 grains each,

both governmental and diplomatic
quarters that until the two hellgercnts

In other diplomatic quarters 1t was
suggested that possibly a too op-imis-

being taken This idea, coupled with q
call of M Juaserond. the French am.

When asked the direct question
whether a hitch had occurred in the

GRANT AND LoNGSTREET.
A West Point Friendship That Held
Throughout Their Lives.

Throughout Their Lives.
The strong schoolboy friendship
which began at West Point between
Grant and Longstreet lasted
throughout their lives. Grant was
Of the class after Longstreet, but
somehow their silent, serious ma
lures were in spontaneous accord,
and, says Helen ID. Longstreet in
"Lee and Longstreet at High Tide"
they became fast friends from their
first meeting. That one was from
the west and one from the south
made no difference, just as later it
made no difference in their feeling
of personal affection that one led
the army Of the Union and the 9TH
er was a Confederate general.
General Longstreet often spoke of
the details of the capitulation at
Appomattox. He said that when he
went into the conference room in
the Mclean residence as one Of the
Confederate commissioners he was
compelled to pass through the room
occupied by General Grant as his
headquarters.
lie felt curious to know how Gen
eral Grant would receive him. He
had loved Grant as one of his clos
est boyhood friends, but times were
much changed. Grant was victor,
he was vanquished lie was there
fore prepared to observe the rigid
demeanor of those between whom
ceremony only forces recognition.'
But as soon as he entered the room
Grant rose, approached him with a
greater show Of demonSiration than
ever in the older days and slapped
him ON the shoulder, exclaiming:
"Well, old Pete, can't we get
back to the good old days by playing
a game Of bragg
At West Point the nickname
among the boys for General Long
street was "Old Pete"
The important part of that meet
ing, the splendid bearing Of the
conquered Confederates, the modest
demeanor Of the Union victors and,
above all, the noble generosity of
Grant in refusing to accept the
sword of Lee and in giving the fair
est terms possible under the existing
circumstances, these are known to
all who have read United States
/ history.

A eoy on Babies.

Here is an essay on babies by an
English board schoolboy: Babies
are little red things without bones
nor teeth. They have various sises,
but just after they are borned they
are called bypeds. Their bones are
grisle. They are two sects, male
and female, and are also very fat.
When very young they do not have
much hair. They are always asleep
only when crying. Women and girls
go silly over babys and kiss them all
over and say silly things. That's
why girls have dolls when they
haven't any little brothers. Every

pared for burial. As there were no
marks of violence on his person to in
dictate foul play of any kind an inquest
was not deemed necessary and the in
terment took place at Greenwood Gem
etery Tuesday afternoon.
In one of the pockets of the dead
man was receipt for dues paid to the
secretary of the United Mine Workers
lodge at Brookside, Colorado, which
was signed by Felix Moschetti, and
dated October 24th, 1903. He also had
in his pockets razor, a copy of "La
Unione," an Italian paper published at
Pueblo and purse containing a small
sum of money.
There is little doubt that the name
of the dead man was Gilglio Silvasstro
or Palloda, as he seems to have been
known to some of his countrymen. He
worked in the coal mines at Brookside
for about year previous to the recent
strike, but having injured his back
while employed there, was sent to the
hospital at Pueblo, where he remained
