Mrs. Alexis |. dupont
From the wall of the United Statet
Court room, just above the judicial bench
in the Federal building, Wilmington
hangs an oil painting of the late Judge
Edward Green Bradford which was pre-.
sented with beftting ceremonies Tuesday
morning by Mrs. Alexis I. dupont, Q
daughter OF the deceased iurist. Mounted
IN massive gilt frame, the portrait is q
beautiful specimen Of the painters art
aside from being regarded as an excellent
likeness of the judge whose face and
memory it is to perpetuate. The canvas
itself is three feet in length and represents
Judge Bradford in characteristic pose.
This with the six-inch framework of
handsome design and of bright golden
finish makes massive picture-the first
to adorn the walls OF the Federal court
room.
The painting is by Frederic DeHene-
wood, French artist, and the plate on
the frame reads: Edward Green Brad
ford, United States Judge, December 12,
1871. to January 10, 1884"

labelling of fresh meat that have passed
the government inspection, the use of
feldspathic rock as fertilizers, and the
prevention of corroslon of fence wire and
rusting of iron and steel generally.
Secretary Wilson estimated that the
discovery OF ink which may be used in
stamping carcasses that have passed the
government meat inspection and which
will not stain, spread or penetrate the
meat, will in itself save the government
between $500. 900 and $400, 600 next year
and proportionats larger sum annually,
as the amount of government inspected
meat increases The ink discovery was
made by Marion Dorsett, acting chief of
the biochemic division of the department
laboratory All he received from the
government was an advance in salary
amounting to about 81, 600 year.
DR.. Alberton S. Cushman, assistant
director Of the Office Of public roads, dis
covered the principles of the extraction
of potash from finely ground feldspathic
rocks. The discovery means that the
United States will no longer be dependent
upon Germany for the supply of potash
used in the manufacture of fertilizers.
B. 7. Galloway, Chief of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, is now experimenting
with feldspathic rock in the cultivation
of tobacco in Connecticut.
It was DR.. Cushman also who made
important discoveries in the manufacture
of fence wire of greatly increased dura-
bility at cost no greater than under the
present process. Along the same lines
he investigated the subject of preventing
the rusting of all exposed metals, incIud-
ing steel rails. In the case of DR.. Cush-
man, Secretary Wilson says the govern
ment can afford no reward, as he already
receives the highest salary authorized by
law for one in his position.

TWO MEN BURNED TO DEATH
Lightning Struck q Big Barn Destroy
Inc the Building

Two men burned to death, the big barn
upon the Morrow farm near Newark q
mass of ruins, destroying large quantity
of feed and burning two calves was the
destruction left in the wake Of the severe
electrical storm which passed over that
section late on Saturday night, the loss
Of which will reach about Sc, 900.
The men believed to have been burned
to death were Isaac Delcors, white, and
William Davis, colored, farm laborers
upon the Morrow farm. They slept in
in the barn. and the supposition is that
they were stunned by the lightning and
we're unconscious while the flames ragged
around them. The remains or portion
of the skeleton OF one of the bodies was
recovered and by the charred skull, it is
supposed to be that of Delcors.
1t was shortly after midnight when
Frank p Richards, the tenant on the
farm, was awakened by the cracking OF
the flames. Hastily throwing on some
clothing he went out in the storm to res
cue what be could, and succeeded in get
ting out all the stock except two calves
and some Of the farming implements.
Mr.. Richards had no idea the men were
within, thinking they had not returned
from Newark, where they went
on Saturday night. When they had not
returned hours afterward, he became
apprehensive, but the big structure was
mass of seething flames, and it was i'm
possible to 60 any where near the building
for the heat. 1t was not until Sunday
incoming that he learned that one of the
men was in the burning building, when

SAVE MILLIONS FOR UNCLE SAM
The Federal Scientists Make Many
Valuable Finds

Millions of dollars-in fact, sum so
vast that it cannot now be estimated
have been saved to the American people
by discoveries made by government
scientists during the fiscal year which
closed July Isl, declared Secretary Wilson
in speaking of the record of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for the year.
'Time alone must develop the impor-
taDce to the world of the experiments
being conducted every day by these men,
whose only reward is in the passing fame
attained in reporting valuable finds.
There would be money in many of these
discoveries if the SCIENTISTS were to patent
them in their own names, but in every
case the people, as a whole, are the ben
efciaries, for the patents are dedicated to
the government, to be used by the United
States or any of the officers or employees
in the prosecution of work for the United
States or by any person in the United
States, without the payment of royalty.
Secretary Wilson feels that the recogni-
tion by the government of these discoy-
cries is far too meager, but he does not
hesitate to give to the scientist this little
help whenever he feels that it is merited.
Whenever valuable discovery warrant
ing United States patent is made by an
employe of the Department of Agricul-
ture the Secretary advances the salary of
the employe as much as it is possible to
do under the law. The patent is taken
out in this country in the name of the
scientist making the discovery and then
dedicated to the United States. If the
discovery is applicable to use in a foreign
country the scientist is authorized to
receive the benefit, but usually the patent
is of character designed to meet coudi.
tions in the United States and OF little
value elsewhere.
Among the patents which has attracted
national attention are those in relation to

but half mile away, but the fire had
gained such headway that they were
powerless to check its progress and could
only stand idly by and see the big struc-
ture consumed.

has held its annual encampment. It

Carnegie on Drink /:

Mr.. Carnegie, in bis book, "The EN-
pire of Business" says: ''The first most
seductive peril, and the destroyer oi
most young men, is the drinking Of
liquor. / say to you that you are more
likely to fail in your career from acquir-
ing the habit Of drinking liquor than
from any or all the other temptations
likely toassail you. You may yield to
almost any other temptation and reform
mar brace up, and, if not recover lost
ground, at least remain in the race, and
secure aud maintain respectable posi-
tion. But from the insane thirst for liq-
uor escape is almost impossible. I have
known but few exec ptions to the rule.

CUT HILLS OFF COUNTRY ROADS

Not only will New Castle county have
many lmiles iof new roads within
the next six months, but many of the
bumps on old roads will be eliminated as
well, according TO plans now being worked
out by County Engineer Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson has just returned home
from an inspection Of the county roads
and is now drawing profles Of those roads
the hills on which make it almost impos-
sible for an ordinary team to draw over
the ordinary road. In some sections Of
the county there are roads which show
q grade Of 9 per cent. to draw an ordinary
load up which requires an extra horse
II is Mr.. Wilson's desire to cut all such
hills out Of the roads and they will be
eliminated from time to time as the
county gets money for road improvement.
The northern part of the county, in par
ticular, abounds in hilly roads, and in
course Of time many Of these excessive
grades will be reduced to the great ,,bene-
6t Of the farmers who are obliged to use
the highways.

FASHIONS AT SARATOGA

Saratoga Is the the most independent
of Summer resorts. Everybody wants
spend at least few days here in order to
to say that they have been TO Saratoga.
Jumper dresses, it might be said, are as
numerous as the sand upon the sea shore.
Bretelle effects are also classed under this
head, and truly smart economies are the
result. Platided silk, arranged in folds,
or plain, sometimes connected by fancy
cording; passementerie, either open or
laced across; black velvet in two bands,
with lattice work of very narrow velvet,
finished by small buttons are all pretty
devices and render plain costume stylish
and attractive.
Striped Silks
These are standby for the Sartoga
visitor, and are often made with plain
silk band in bretelle fashion on waist
(over white fancy waist or yoke) and
similar bands trim the kimona sleeves
and skirt. Dresses on this order are seen
in large numbers, and as some are made
OF broad stripes and others of hair-line
stripes, they are always pleasing.
Foulards
Dotted foulards are as prominent as
striped silks, and the jumper waist is of
the material and not Of a trimming. Ring
and coin spots combined, are exception
ally pretty in jumper dress, and in this
connection, plain silks must not be for
cotton, constituting very pretty jumper
dresses, trimmed with fancy silk braid.
Linens are in especial favor, blue, pink
or natural linen, almost all in fancy style,
and either the open neck, the Eton jacket,
or the longer shape, the latter trimmed
with bands Of heavy lace and not un-
frequently having colored vest.
Hats
Headgear for these pretty dresses is
found in the lingerie, the Panama, tied
around the crown by simple scarf with
fringed ends, the sailor (which of late
has assumed an exaggerated size) with
Middletown transcript., 1907-07-13

ribbon or taffeta silk bow at the front,
also OF undue proportion. The stitched
linen bat is used in the morning, and for
cool days, gray felts are stylish. The
lingerie hat is now comprehensive term,
varying from simple frilled affair en-
circled by ribbon with bow at the front
to those covered by flowers, velvet and
lace.
Footwear
Many fashionists here sport tan shoes
almost the entire day, others white can
vas, and for early morning, striped
canvas shoe showing iaunty ribbon bow
has its share of patronage. Bronze is
pretty for afternoon or evening, and black
patent leather as well. For hops or en-
tertainments, embroidered or beaded
satin slippers are the correct thing. Within
a very recent date, belts have sprung into
unusual prominence They are wide or
narrow, handsomely embroidered in gay
colors, with jeweled or Rhinestone clasps,
or are of white or colored leather studded
with steel nail heads which form various
designs. Colored elastic in square, oval
or acknowledged figures also encircle
the slender waists Of Saratoga girl visitors,
and taken altogether ones belt is an i'm.
portant accessory.
Princess Styles
Almost every dressy gown worn her
is in Princess shape, and pale blue or
pink silks of light texture, elaborately
trimmed with lace. are lovely for after
noon or evening. But faint idea OF the
beauty and variety Of lingerie dresses
worn here by smart dressers can be con-
veyed. A very novel one displayed at a
large hotel, had sprays OF pink silk em-
broidery on two panels of very fine tueks
at the front Of the dress. As everyone is
neither young nor slender, pale blue
satin gown had the surplue fronts closely
braidedin gilt, with lace yoke and aleeyes,
thus giving the other side Of the picture.
A beautiful accessory is a jacket OF con-
siderable length. made throughout of silk
braid with picot edge, and lined and
frilled With white chiffon.
Green Parasols
The green parasol appears upon the
scene, only for general use however, and
the white embroidered linen still remains
| foremost in fashioa's category. Colors
are bright crimson, blue. crushed straw
berry, ard above all, hand-embroidery
On silk in the gayest hnes, jet tempered

PLENTY OF FISH
IN COUNTY CREEKS

Those who love to fish will recol-
lect the large number caught in Hand
county creeks few years ago, main
ly of the pickerel species. Reports
of recent catches indicate that the
streams are again full of fish. Some
fine ones have been caught in the
Miller creek west of town.
The Washington Enterprise con-
tains these items of fish news:
C. w. Dake, John Geiver, Lee
Dresser and S. L. Martin made a
fishing tip to Turtle Creek yesterday
and succeeded in landing q fine fish.
In the catch were IL very fine black
bass, a fish that has heretofore been
very scarce in this locality.
1t is reported that fish are being
caught in large numbers in both
Turtle and Wolf creeks. The fish
are of good size averaging from one
to eight pounds in weight. One
party, whose name we will not men,
ton for fear of spelling his reputa-
ton for truth and veracity, claims
to have caught % good sized picker
ell in an hour during the snow storm
Tuesday.
