Delaware's splendid crop of winter
apples, the largest for some time, seems
not to have been injured by the raj ny
season, but the wet weather and hot
days of September have ripened the
crop nearly month earlier than regu-
lation time of maturity. The Stayman
and Winesap apples, always harvested
in early October, are now ready Tor
picking, and will be gathered next
week. i. NJ. Soper, of Magnolia, and
Samuel P. Derby, of Woodside, are
the leading growers of these fruits
although DR.. Alfred Smith, of Dover,
has a remarkable crop on his fruit farm
Wyndwood, near Wyoming.

HUNGRY ON THE STREET.
Woman and Her Two Children Taken Taken Care of by Charity Board.

Mrs Henry Emmonzo and her two children, one a boy in arms and the other just able to walk, was picked up on West Main street this morning and turned over to Superintendent Combellack, who escorted them to the office of the department of chari- ties. They were hungry, had but scant clothing and showed other evil dences of want. Just what the au- thorities will do with them has not yet been decided upon, but it is cer- tain that both mother and children are badly in need of kindly hand. According as the town grows these cases will-be of more common occur renee and the public will be called upon to make provision to meet them. Waterbury has been some what niggardly in the past In such cases and as result some we'll mean ing women have turned to the dens of vice for comfort after they had been denied assistance where they had right to look for 1t. While our public spirited citizens are talking of more money for street paving. sprink- ling and other things, it would be we'll to bear in mind that the num- Der of dependents is on the increase and that they will have to be at tended to whether we like 1t or not. To do anything like justice to the de- serving poor of the town the depart ment of charities would want at least twice as much money as Is ap- propriated for that purpose. What would become of the poor of the com munity were 1t not for the charitable work done by the churches. Protes- tant and Catholic. and the benevo- lence of private individuals? Many would die of hunger or Waterbury would have to appropriate something in the neighborhood of S75.0o0 for charities

 The weather was dark and threat ening during the forenoon, but an official bulletin from the weather bu- reau promised for the afternoon light easterly winds and slightly clear ing sky. The river was almost smooth at the starting point and unless the change from flood to ebb tide was accompanied by a breeze, it seemed as If the conditions would be favora- ble for a satisfactory race.
 It was arranged that Coach Charles E. Courtney of Cornell. Coach James wray of Harvard and F. A. Wood of the Boston Athletic association would serve as the oflcial timers for the race on the referees boat.
 Ernest George. Harvard 1903, a former varsity oarsman. and J. G. Smith. former Cornell coxswain. and now a third year man at Harvard law school, were selected to act as judges at the finish
 The race started at 2:20 and Cor nell took the lead and was never headed. At half the distance she was leading by two lengths and at the finish she had increased her lead over Harvard by three lengths.

Ready for Regatta.

Boston. May 25.-Arrangements for the regatta to-day on the Charles river in which the varsity crews of Harvard and Cornell meet for sec ond time, and which also will include a race between the school crews of Cascadilla. of Ithaca. N. Y., and Stone of this city. and single scull race for the Carroll cup, were com pleted this morning. It was planned to start the schoolboys at 1 o'clock, the single souls half an hour later and the varsity crews at 2:15.
 The comparatively early hour set for the regatta brought about live state of affairs at the boat houses. both up the river, where the Harvard crew had its headquarters, and at the Union Boat club and the house of the Boston Athletic association, where the visitors had their shells.
 The tide this year favored race down stream instead of up river, in which direction last years contest was rowed, and as the current on the ebb is stronger than at the flood. bet ter time was looked for among those at the boat houses this morning.
 The veteran coachers of both var sity crews reported this morning that their men were in fine condition ana confident of victory.
 The crews this year are as follows:

ICE DRIVERS DO
 N0T LIKE SCHEME Collectors Will Follow Them On Their Trips Hereafter and Will Take
 the Money. THE MEN MAY REFUSE TO WORK If the Ice Corporation Persists In Enforcing This New Rule
 Company's View of it,
THE MEN MAY REFUSE TO WORK

The drivers of the Waterbury Ice corporation are disgruntled over what they term a new system of the firm and threaten to quit their jobs Sat- urday night or before that time if the company endeavors to carry out the plan which is so distasteful to the ice carriers. The men claim that now the company is going to put a col lector out on the road all day and instead of the drivers collecting the money at stores, cafes, etc, where large supplies are sold, the collector will follow the wagon and take tho money. The men are up in arms over the same and one of them talked to the writer over the matter to-day.
 Yes" he said, we are somewhat sore over the new arrangement of the company and if it intends to carry it out we will all quit our jobs before Saturday night. If we are not ablo to handle the money coming from the large sales we certainly are not honest or competent enough to take care of the smaller deliveries. Of course we do not intend to make any fuss about 1t or do we call it strike, but all of us have agreed to give up the positions if this collecting idea is enforced"
 Charles B. Everitt, secretary and treasurer of the Waterbury Ice cor poration, said as far as he knew there was nothing to say on the sub ject "As for the collecting idea I do not see how 1t is anyone's business how we decide to obtain our money from those who purchase ice. We in- troduce new ideas into our business now and then and I cannot see how anyone has cause to complain. AS yet I have heard nothing about a strike and If the men are contemplat- ing any such action 1t is unknown to me-
 There are fifteen or twenty men employed as drivers on the wagons and they all seem to be very sore ove. the plan which will not allow them to collect where the big sales are made.
 At the present time the saloon keepers of Waterbury are receiving the cold stuff much cheaper than the small buyer and almost at the same price as last year. The public is pay ing about 50 cents hundred for ice 10 cents more than last year.
 The price of ice has been causing howl all over the state and not withstanding the assertions of the dealers upon investigation 1t was found that there was very little req son for such an advance on the ice.

HAD CONFERENCE WITH MAYOR
To Take Steps to Have Bank Street
 Bridge Raised.

Mayor Thoms had a conference with Attorney James M. Lynch and John Henderson this morning for the purpose of seeing if some measures cannot be taken in order to have the tracks at the Bank street bridge rais- ed few feet. This thing has been discussed time and again and would be great help to Brooklyn if 1t were carried out. During this mornings conference 1t came up that some time time ago the board of aldermen in structed the city attorney to look in to this matter to see what manner of procedure should be taken should the city decide to have the tracks raised at this point. At the same meeting 1t was also voted to have the city engineer estimate on the cost of the proposed raising. Neither Mir Kellogg or Mir Cairns has yet made a report so the mayor will get after them to see what's the trouble.
 In all probability as result of this mornings meeting the mayor will ask the board of aldermen to in- vite the railroad commissioners here to take a look at the Bank street bridge. The tracks at this point are lower than at any other place in the city and have for years been draw back to Brooklyn.
 Attorney Lynch does not think that the city would be compelled to pay more than one-fourth of the ex- penses, the other three-fourths fall- ing on the shoulders of the road.
