FROM FREDERICA.

There will be a game of ball played
j here this afternoon, Friday, between
Milford and Frederica. Frederica shut
out Milford here last Friday. We hone
for good interesting game to-day. A
large crowd is always present at these
games. Quite a number of the cottaeers
at Bowers come up for the games every
week.
The steamer Frederick has been max
ing three trips a week for some time. and
it is astonishing to see the large ouanti-
ties of watermelons, cantaloupes, fruits
and truck shipped each trip. The croE,
of peaches is small but everything else
seems to be on hand to take their place
The weather has been warm for a week
or more, and many from here have
sought the refreshing breezes from Bow
ers. 1t was hot, though, at that place on
"Big Thursday" and the large crowd was
kept busy drinking ice water, lemonade.
and bathing to keep cool.

plenty of hands this season.

CHIEF JUSTICE LORE has set al
example which should be followed
by every person where people are
making a nuisance of themselves.
He was riding in a trolley car when
a party of rougks boarded the car
and disregarded the rules regarding
smoking, as we'll as being bolster
Gus and rude in the presence of
ladies. He vigorously remonstra-
ted with the rufiians and finally
called other men to protect the
ladies in the car. The men, who
happened to be colored, and lived
in Chester, Pa, were followed and
their names secured. When they
came into Delaware to work the
following day, warrants for their
arrest were served and the ring
leaders fined $40 and cost for their
and lawlessness. Let
every man insist upon white as we'll |
as black blackguards having re-
spect for the law, and there will be
less complaint in the future.

THE up-to-date merchants adver-
tisement in the papers may be said
to be equivalent to transporting his
display windows to the homes of
his patrons. 1t certainly will if he
goes about advertising his stock
with half the paias and care he ex-
ercises in the selection of it in the
first place; he will construct news
paper advertisements or have some
body do it for him that will enable
the reader to look beyond the type
on to his very shelves and counters.
His advertisement may thus become
a portable display window that will
never be covered with cobwebs.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

1t is stated that when Congress re-as.
sembles it will find that the President
has reconsidered his announced inten.
ton never to send another reciprocity
treaty to Congress. 1t will be recalled
that before the close of the last session
several carefully drawn reciprocity trea.
ties were sent to the Senate, and there
were blocked by the efforts of small
coterie of determined high protectionists.
The President at that time banged his
clenched fist on the table and declared
that he would never again send reci-
prOcity treaty to Congress till something
had occurred to break the calm nonchal-
ance Of the stand patters. 1t looks very
much as though this had come to pass
The fact that Germany has negotiated
treaties with seven European countries
which will become operative in 1905, that
the new duties will bear very hardly on
the western farmers who are expecting a
bumper crop this fall, and the boycott of
American goods in China all make to-
ward forcing the hand Of the protection
lists and indicate that the something"
has happened that will make the presen-
iation of new reciprocity-treaties ne
,essity. The wave of reciprocity has
Iwept all over the northwest and it is
itated that the cattle men and the wheat
,rOwer will combine to use all their in
luence on the administration. The Pres
dent will not be slow to act, if he sees
hat the conditions are ripe.

Try. Inc UUyCUtt is spieauing au .liiaBg-
hal. according to advices to the State De-
partment, and American interests there
are seriously affected. Three thousand
Chinese in Bangkok have communicated
with their agents in Shanghai to ship no
more American goods, and the other for
eign residents of Shanghai are afraid that
the boycott will extend to them. The
students are in control of the situation,
and it is impossible to do anything as the
Chinese government declares its impo-
tency, and there can of course be no new
treaty negotiated with China at present
At the same time the Chinese who want
to come to the United States are not wait
ing on any little formalities like treaties.
The Treasury Department inspectors have
just made the biggest haul of imported
Chinese near Buffalo that has been made
in years. 1t appears that the inspectors
had been looking for years for chance
to lay hands on one Snyder, a runner Of
alien immigrants and a smuggler of con-
traband goods across the Canadian bor- |
der. 1t was suspected that he was in the |
trade but he never could be detected
with the goods" Last week at night,
however, the inspectors got him with a
steam launch full of Romanians and lot
IF Cinnamon in rowboats. It is known
hat Buffalo, while a favorite point for
nan smuggling of this sort, is not the
,nly point on the Canadian and Mexican
,orders The penalty for work of this
ort is heavy and the Treasury is going to
prosecute Snyder to the extent of the
lw. 1t is said that with his sons who
'ere also in the capture, he may be fined
5 much as $4,000 and imprisoned Tor l
)rty-four years The point of the cap I
Ire, however, is not the possible prose-
ltion of the immigrant runner but the
nderhand methods that Cinnamon take
get into this country while their gov n
'nment is busy declaring that no such
affic exists and that there is no boycott
American goods going on in Chinese
)rts.

AN ELEVENTH-H HOUR REPRIEVE.
Strange Case Of Johann Hoch, Con-
victed Murderer and Bigamist.

Johann Hoch, the convicted MUIR
derer and confessed bigamist, who
was condemned to die at Chi
cago Friday, July 2S, for kill
ing one of his many wives, was re-
prieved, at the eleventh hour, by Gov
ernor Deneen until Aug. 25. Dr.. LIS
ton III. Montgomery and Miss Cora
Wilson became Interested IN ms
case and secured the remaining
$500 of the s1,100 necessary to
appeal his case to the su-
preme court of Illinois. The hang
ing was scheduled to take place at
the county Jail between 10 a. m. and 2
d. m. and the reprieve was granted
at 12:45 p. M, the money having Deen
secured at 1890 o'clock. Dr. Mont
gomery has taken an interest in the
Hoch case from a physician's view
point, asserting his opinion that ms
analysis Of alleged poisoning charged
to Hoch reveals an impossible situa-
ton, and that Hoch could not nave
committed the crimes. The saving OF
Hoch was one Of the most sensational
happenings the county Jail has ever
known. The death procession was
forming and Hoch was about to follow
his spiritual advisers to the gallows
when Miss Wilson and DR.. Montgomery
appeared at the Jail. The states at
torney consented that the hanging be
DELAYED until the governor could be
communicated with. Hoch Will now
present for examination the record in
the case to one of the supreme court
justices. He declares that he is lnno-
cent of murder and will admit only the
charge of bigamy. The exact num-
ber of women Hoch married VIII prop
ably never be known, but he is report
a or
wives in the last 10 years. Seven of
this number he welded in Chicago.
some of whom are said to have died
under suspicious circumstances. Mrs.
Marie Welcker Hoch, for whose mur-
der Hoch was sentenced to hang died
of arsenical poisoning after snort
illness December 10 of last year. Pre-
ceding her death he had obtained from
the woman all her money as he had
done in most of his previous mar
riages. Five days after her death ne

He was arrested in New York jan

lance of scarcely "a hours. The big

An Asxlum Scandal Denied.

A report issued from Waterbury
was widely published Wednesday
August 2. to the effect that the state
asylum trustees were about to inves-
tigate one the most. serious scandals
that has yet been started from the IN
stitution. 1t was said that Governor
Bell had requested and received the
Immediate resignation of the private
stenographer of superintendent
Hutchinson. owing to her condition.
The trustees deny this charge. They
saw a stenographer resigned in June,
voluntarily and for personal reasons;
and if there is ground for scanoal cor, |,
cerning this person no one connected
with the state hospital is involved in
IL. No official has asked for the resig-
nation of any stenographer. Inc
young woman referred to was not the
private stenographer Of Superintend-
ent Hutchinson. but the public stenog-
rapher for the medical staff. Neither
Superintendent Hutchinson nor any
other superintendent of the hospital
has ever had personal stenographer.

Aug. 1. the following delegates TO tne
national conference on uniformity OF
legislation: Hon. Q. NJ. Barber OF Benn.

ma Hon. A. A. Hall of st. Adams. This

seated. His face was flushed and his
voice shook slightly with feeling as he
said with emphatic gestures: "As far
as knowing that Miss Batchelder was
reporter for any paper l deny the
whole thing. That man"--pointing an
accusing finger at the states attorney
knows very well that / asked him
II II would be all right for her to
come. and he said II would. ] never
had any conversation with him. such
as he SAYS III tell you just what he
did say If you will have the ladies go
out. II is not fit to repeat before
ladies'
The committee requested the women
present to retire. All did so. and Su-
perintendent Lowell proceeded to state
what Charles Batchelder had said to
him. the statement includin" obscene
and profane expressions. Continuing,
Mr.. Lowell said:
1--WE told you just what was said
at that time. ] never telephoned her
to come down to Windsor"
The states attorney here asked and
got permission to later put In evidence
records I'm relation to the telephone
call in question.
Superintendent Lowell had told
Judge Pier and Mr.. Cudworth the
same story as he told the committee
regarding the Batchelder incident.
His session with the prison directors
was before his conversation with
Charles Batchelder. Witness denied
that Miss Batchelder told Mary Rog-
ers first of her reprieve. That was
done by Sheriff Peck.
Anna Lindstadt. who was employed
at the superintendent's home from
June, 1903, to February 1905, told OF
how Mr.. Oakes spent his time. part In
the house and part in the prison. She
said when the family went to Sunapee
they took with them meat and vege-
tables and bread in small trunk
which they brought back for a new
supply at least once. She also told OF
the guests entertained at Sunapee bv
the Oakes family.
When the question of Miss Lind
stadt's discharge came UP 1t was stat
ed that il was because of what she
said about someone connected with
the prison and as some testimony was
expected which the committee felt
ought not to be presented to the pub
lie until all parties interested could
be present, Miss Lindstadt was eX-
cused until later.
A recess was then taken without
day. The board will not meet for AT
least three weeks, and 1t is probable
will resume the hearings about Sep
tember 1. 1t is hoped that all the tes-
will be concluded at that tline'
the hearings probably including ses-
sion Of day or more at the institu-
tion in Windsor.
