Compiling Liquor Laws.

John B. Hutton, a Dover lawyer, has
been engaged by the Women's Chris.
tian Temperance Union Of Delaware to
collate and publish the laws Of the State
restricting and regulating the liquor
business. The temperance women are
doubtless preparing to make things hot
for the liquor men by contesting their
applications, attacking the construction
of all bar roomsn not constructed in plain
view Of the passers- by, and applications
which have been sworn to as to their
but which are found irregu-
lar. The printed copies Of the laws will
be distributed throughout the State,
local unions Of the Temperance organi-
zation being used as the medium for
their distribution.

All Should Be Present.

In Armory Hall next Monday nigh
viii be shown moving pictures madC
from actual photographs taken in San
Francisco during and after the great
earthquake and fire. These pictures
are under the management of Mr.. Har-
ry T. Price, who is we'll known to Mil
ford folks, as a son.in-law Of Postmas-
ter Steward, and it is unusual for an
exhibition Of expensive pictures such
as these to come to places as small as
Milford; but the personal interest Of
Mr.. Price in our people accounts for it.
There must be large turnout, or the
venture will be an expensive effort to
show to Milford and vicinity the actual
scenes in the greatest Of world disasters.
Don't forget it is this coming Monday
night.

No Race Suicide in This Goose.

James A. Warren, of near Glendale,
has goose, which in the minds of a
number of prominent geese faisers, has
established record that stands with
out precedent. This member of the
Toulouse family began layingvery early
in the spring and in due course of time
Matched thrifty lot of goslins, which
received her mOtherly care until about
three weeks of age. At this time, she
having acquired somewhat of Leg
horn instinct, began laying again and
entrusted the care of her offsprings to
the gander who seems to feel very proud
Of his new task and hovers them nightly
IS the mother goose would do. Of
course it is frequent occurrence for
geese to lay two separate lots Of eggs in
one season if they are confined from
their nest a few days after they first
become broedy, but from data at hand
the writer is led to believe that a case
very rarely if ever happense where one
lays, sets and matches twice in one sea-
son with her own accord. At this writ
ing the goUse is setting on eight eggs,
and in the event of favorable conditions,
she will doubtless soon be the happy
mother of a second lot Of this specie Of
water fowl

TRAMPS READY To
GATHER THE FRUIT.

Iramps are arriving, via fast freight
and Pullman bumpers, from all parts
of the country and are constructing
rude huts in some portions of Sussex
county, preparing to help the farmers
pick berries and fruit. In some places
the farmers are actually co operating
with the tTamps and are constructing
small wigwams for their comfort. Farm
labor is very scarce in lower Delaware
and The negro help is unreliable. The
wages for picking berries and fruit, if
the workmen will hustle while the lipe
red fiuit is on, are much higher than
can be realized from any other kind of
labor.
Several train-loads Of Strawberries,
early cabbage and fresh peas and beans
pass up the Delaware Railroad daily,
but nearly all the shipments are from
the n. Y. P. & N. division or from the
of Exmore and Cape
Charles. Strawberries that are home |
grown are being eaten by the growers
in the neighborhood Of Selbyville and /
Frankford. Bridgeville is beginning to |
ship and will, doubtless become a big
berry centre.

SHORT LOCAL BREYlTIES,
Items Of Interest in Paragraphs About
Milford and Vicinity.

Farmers about Georgetown think
that the berry crop is cut off half by
the recent frosts, but that peaches are
all right.
Harry D. Mccullough has left Pierce
& Carmean and has started in business
for himself. His advertisement appears
in another column OF this paper.
Ira Lunt Of New Castle, the newly.
elected commander in chief Of the De
partment Of Delaware, Grand Army of
the Republic, has appointed William
A. Truitt, OF Garfield Post, Milford,
Chief Mastering Officer.
Town Council at its meeting last
Monday evening appointed Colonel
Townsend, Darwin S Collins and Agus.
tus HOlson a committee to draught
new charter for the town, which is to

tion, and then to be submitted to the

A bird dog owned by Thomas Pepper

WONDERFUL EXHIBITION.
Milford is To Get the Scenes Of the San
Francisco Earthquake.

BY an advertisement in another por-
tion Of the Chrouiele it will be seen that
Milford isto have the privilege of seeing
what happened in San Francisco i'm
mediateiy following the terrible earth
quake there. The most wonderful NOV.
ing picture exhibition ever given will
be seen at Armory Hall on Monday
evening next, May 21st, when Hum.
prizes q Price will show Miles Bros
pictures of the scenes in San Francisco.
This is duplicate Of the exhibition
which is being given at the Chestnut
Street Opera House in Philadelphia
and in Atlantic City and New York.
\ Since it opened it has received mum
mer of new films however so that it is
now more complete than any of the
other shows. Miles Bros. were the only
moving picture concern having plant
in San Francisco at the time Of the
earthquake. Humphries q Price knew
this and made application for the first
moving picture show ofthe earthquake I
scenes which went out and they got it. /
In consequence of this Milford will get
a view of the scenes as soon AS the peo.
pie Of the larger cities and before most
Of them.
When the show was put upon the
road Milford was one OF the places Sc
lected because both OF the owners of
the show have a number Of friends
here. The pictures show Market street
and other places in San Francisco as
they existed three days before the fire
and then the spectator is taken over
the same grounds after the fire has
wrought its awful havoc. Then they
are shown the dynamiting of build {
ings, the fire as it sweeps the city, the !
relief work and various other matters t
Of interest. The exhibition lasts for /
about two and one half hours. q
The contract of the firm with Miles {
Bros. calls for the delivery of new films
ust as fast as they are completed aud
here are now several additional films
o what were shown when the exhibit h
ion opened. The advantage of this is n
'lain. If thereis a new picture devel. e,
ped the day before the show plays in o.
lilfOrd it will be forwarded here and IT
hown. So far a new film has been re- ir
eived almost every day. Those who h
aw the exhibition in Wilmington do re
ot hesitate to say that it is the most IL
emarkablemOving picture display ever HI
hOwn. On account of the expense at n,
lched to securing the pictures Milford Ell
nd Dover will be the only towns in tb
delaware played outside Of Whining of
IN and New Castle. It costs more to as
roduce the show than to equip an or co
mary dramatic company. ge
1t is a matter of interest that James on
oaroni, one Of the photographers Of tn
lies Bros, is just recovering from be- be
g shot by a soldier while he was COM tn
g out Of the burning Miles Building We
