1t has been decided by the directors
of the n. Y. P. & N. r. R., to proceed
at once to double track the entire sys-
tenn from Delmar to Cape Charles
City. This Improvement has been
hastened by the immense traffic being
hauled by the company, and the fact
that the Pennsylvania Railroad will
use the New York, Philadelphia and
Norfolk tracks as the direct route from
New York, Philadelphia and other
points further north and west, to haul
the large number of people expected
to visit the jamestown Exposition next
year. 1t is said upon the best of au-
thority that the officials of the New
York, Philadelphia & Norfolk Rail
road will at once push the work of
building the road on down to the ex-
treme point of Cape Charles, the route
of which has been surveyed. When
this improvement is made the road
will have short ferriage of 12 miles
from the Point to Norfolk, which will
be a great improvement over theii
present route from Cape Charles City,
where the ferriage is over thirty miles
across to Norfolk. The building o
this line will open up and develop'
one of the finest trucking sections o
Virginia, which will give the road al

The fruit growers of this part of
Delaware now think the damage to
small fruits by small frosts has been
overestimated. However, the grow
ers say that they will not be able to
estimate the damage to the peach crop
until after the June drop. The heavy
rain of Sunday and Monday has helped
crops materially in this vicinity.

at Mt. Pleasant until the wreck was
removed to allow passage. The wreck
train from Clayton went to the scene
as soon as possible, and with large
force of men the two cars we're dumped
to one side and up the embankment,
badly broken and complete wreck.

n The famous head Of q well-knoWn
manufacturing -rm expressed the be-
lief that success comes of finding the
work one loves.
He himself is a case in point, for he
gave up a college career to take up
work in a little business established
by his father. In this he took so keen
an interest that to-day he is at the
mead Of a huge army Of employees.
Another example is found in fam
Gus sculptor who surrendered COM
mercial position yielding $4,000 year
10 st, dy art in Paris. His friends
thought the act a mad one, but it has
since been amply jv5tifed.
A third notable instance is found in
the career of a wealthy land agent
who began as a doctor, built up a
splendid practice after ten years work
end then gave it up to devote himself
to dealing in property. To the on
lockers it seemed like a reckless throw
ing away Of good fortune; but the doc
tor knew the pursuit for which Ma
ture had fitted him, and in a few years
had won a fortune.
