NOTES OF TRAVEL.

Parlor Entertainment Stunts Pay
 Graded Oysters-Dyspept Tourists.
 'Tm just back from Honolulu and the Pacific coast resorts" said the ann ateur whistler. "To get the most fun out of travelling learn to do a parlor entertainment stunt You are all to the good then at the ship and hotel concerts, besides being the first one asked on the picnics the resort guests are always getting up.
 "One-half the travellers I met only ate prepared foods from their private stocks and fruit, They kept away from the meals on the trains, steamers and at the hotels, although they paid full rates. Weak digestion must send more people travelling than curiosity
 Speaking of fruit, when restaurant folks in California notice the oranges turning green they brighten them for the table by soap and water, rubbed on with stiff brush. It restores the golden color, and as no one eats the peel the customers don't taste tho soap
 Greyhound coursing is as popular as ever at San Francisco. It is a great sight on Sundays to see the owners training their dogs by racing them up and down the hills toward the Ingle- side
 Before we took the steamer for Oakland all our party bought loaves of bread Hundreds of sea gulls followed the boat and We fed them with the l bread.
 "The bathers at Coronado Beach play game in the water that is as funny as tub racing Each player rides a wooden horse and tries to upset the opponent without losing his own bal ance. An upset means a ducking, There were glass bottom boats there through which the fish and marine | growths could be watched while float ing along
 Tn Honolulu the asphalt walks were so hot that I had to wear felt pads under my stockings to keep my feet from getting sunburned. There was golf tlere and polo, with gymkhana sports and pony races on one Sunday, The ponies were very small and the riders big men mostly suggesting the old English polo prints
 Leaving California the oysters served on the trains are of the small, native sort. Travelling through the
 southwest the big Bayou St. John oys-
 ters two to a plate, precede the din-
 ner This side of tde Mississippi the oysters are called Blue Points. Expe-
 rienced travellers, if they were blintl-
 folded, could tell where the train is by
 the size of the oysters served at din- ner.-Charleston News and Courier.

The Presidency Not to End All-He
 Has Other Ways of Doing.
 A President who wants anything done might as well save his ammuni- ton until the real session and not waste 1t on the short session. This is, in fact, what President Roosevelt Ss doing. He has not been at all secretive about the general nature of his campaign next winter, and the friends of the railroads in the Senate are even now girding themselves for a battle over the queS- tion of ascertaining matters of valua- ton and operation as basis for rate regulation.
 It is quite possible that this will not be the only important recommendation of the kind which the President will make at the next session, although his usual course is to embark on only fight at a time. He has only one more sass- sion in which to fight for his favorte reforms if he quits the White House in 1909, for the session preceding his de- parture will be a short one. But this does not necessarily indicate that he has got to fight for al his reforms at

SMYRNA BUSINESS MEN GIVE
AID TO TROLLEY MOVEMENT
SUPERVISING CHIEF ENGINEER J. W. EN-
DEAN RECEIVES HEARTY ENCOURAGEMENT
With the Prospect of the Trolley Being BuIt
Smyrna Wants the Shops and COmpany's
Headquarters to Be Located Here

Chief Engineer J. w. Endean. of the
Smyrna, Kent County and Delaware
Bay Traction Company, left this morn
ing for New York to confer with SIR
Charles DrummOnd aud his associates
regarding the early commencement of
construction operation on the through
state line. He took with him the en-.
dorsement of more of Smyrna's bnsi.
ness men than at any time since the
trolley was talked about. Mr.. Endean's
assurance to the people of SMYRNA that
the proposed trolley project is sure
go, has caused many, even the most
skeptlcal, to lend their support. and
now that the deal is about to be con
summated, there seems to be a unani
nous desire to have the car shops. de
pot and headquarters of the line 10.
Gated IN Smyrna where the movement
was first inaugurated Engineer En-.
dean being himself citizen of Smvrna
is anxious to get the headquarters here
and he is leaving no stone unturned TO
accomplish what he can for the people
OF Smyrna. As has been pointed out
the centralizng of the Companv's
forces i'll Smyrna will bring about 200
families to town, which cannot helm
but add to our material growth and
prosperity. When the sub .ect was
first brought to the atteution of the
capitalists of the Dundee Financial
Corporation, the question was asked
why was not a community interest
shown on the part of the people of
Smyrna as we'll as other towns. ST.
Georges offered enough inducement
and showed enough enthusiasm to
merit the attention cf the capitalists
and they were henceforth assured the
power station. Mr.. Endean felt that
Smyrna must nip up or she might lose
all he had been fighting for, and with
this end in view he set about to inter
view the business men OF SMYRNA.
The result was that he has received
most gratifying support on every hand.
Many Of our prominent citizens took
stock and so encouraging was the SEN
timert, that he left this morning feel
ing satisfied that he will be able to
overcome all obstacles and get the
shops and head offices for Smyrna.
Mr.. Endean expects matters to be ad-
justed in a short time when the Dun
dee Financial Corporation will take
over the franchises and other holdings
of the local organizations which will
be merged into the Diamond State
Rapid Transist Company and a charter
taken out for the through line from
Delaware City to Milford.
