J. Frank Curry, of Wilmington, has
originated and secured letters patent on a
rubber horseshoe, which he believes is
destined to be universally adopted The
shoe is made Of solid rubber, cushioned.
and held in place on the horses foot by
means of steel plate encasediin. the rub
ber Of the shoe. Mr.. Curry claims a
longer life fer his shoe than is the case
with those now in use, stating that the
average life Of his invention when in use
will be year, while ordinary horselhoes
last but about two months. Notwith-
standing this, the cost Of the new shoes
win be no greater than the old. Since
his invention has been patented, Mr..
Curry has received an offer Of a fabulous
sum from New York manufacturer for
it, bat has refused to accept.

"The trusts effrontery is amazing -
he said. "They commit sin with as
yirtuous an air as you or 1 would do q
piece of charity. And there is no getting
around them, no heading them off.
They are like old Eliphalet Hoskins.
"EIiphalet Hosklns was one of the
old residenters the Head OF Sassafras,
small Maryland village. Hewas light
fingered. He lifted eggs, bars Of soap,
potatoes, chickens anything that came in
his way. The Head of Sassafras people
knew his failing we'll, but on account of
his great age they had pity on him. He
was never punished.
"It happened that one night load of
dried fish arrived at the wharf too late
for the general store to remove it. There
was nothing to do but cover it with a tar
paulin and leave it out all night. In
this there was no risk, though. The
Head Of sassafas people were an honest
lot.
'tThey're an honest lot here, muttered
the storekeeper. as he drew a tarpaulin
over dried his fish, and just then lie heard
cautious footsteps. He looked up. and
there was old EIiphalet Hoskins eyeing
the mound Of fish gloatingly.
'"The storekeeper gave grunt Of yex.
alton. Then he selected couple Of fish
and extended them to the old man.
"EiphaIet,' he said I've got to leave
this pile of fish out here over night
Now, if 1 give you these two fine fellers,
will you promise not to steal none of the
others?'
"EliphaIet looked at the two fish in
the storekeeper's hand. Then he looked
at the mountain Of them underneath the
tarpaulin.

RIcFS FOR APPLES

Growers Gives Boom to this
Crop
reported that Frank NJ. Soper,
Delaware apple king, who grew
Z, 600 bushels Of fine apples during 1905
and recently took the awards at the ex-
hibit OF the Peninsula Horticultural
Society in Dover, has established new
record that is simyly electrifying the
farmers and fruit growers OF lower Della
ware. They are amazed at this mans
remarkable achievements.
Mr.. soper has just offered for sale q
picked barrel Of his finest winter apples
on which he has taken prize after prize
and of which he had several hundred
barrels in cold storage. The barrel OF
choice ones was promptly sold at $24.
Consequently everybody wants to grow
apples, especially the Soper, which have
given Delaware place in the apple mar
ket OF the world, and particularly in
England and Germany, to which coun-
tries they can be and are easily shipped.
Twenty-three years ago when Mr.. Soper
moved on his present farm, it was poor
and there was little growing, but he dug
and delyed for several years and finally
learned that it would grow apples. He
got ''on the job" at once, went to colleges
and institutes, and sent his boy to Della.
ware College and Cornell. To add to bis
own hardy pluck and energy. his son
came along with all the college formulae
for spraying, killing insects and fungus
and making healthy the tress, and round
and rosy apples. They have already
made fortune.

IN MOVING THE CROPS.
Government VIII Again Come to Re
lief Of Money Market.


New York. Aug 15.-Secretary Of
the Treasury Cortelyou. according to
the Times. has decided again to come
to the relief OF the money market and
distribute government funds to aid IN
the movement of the crops this year.
The plan pursued last year is to be
followed, with some notifications, but
In general 1t will be that adopted by
Secretary Shaw In his regime.
One OF the ideas now In the minds
OF the officers OF the treasury depart
ment IL that the government should
place its funds In the banks subject to
withdrawal by check
It is not expected that anything like
the amount needed last year will be
called for this season. II 1t Is the
treasury will be in better shape to
meet the call, as under an act of the
last congress customs receipts may be
deposited In banks. Under the new
method the customs receipts will be
used for the relief of the smaller in
stitutioqs, while the larger fund Will
be sent to the centers of distribution.
New York will, as In the past, get a
goodly share of the amount to be re-
leased.

FUTURE EVENTS TO DECIDE
France May BE Compelled to overstep
Terms OF Convention.

Paris, Aug. 15.-Competent govern.
ment circles declined to discuss the
possibility of France eventually being
compelled to overstep the limits OF
the terms OF the Algeciras convention,
but the following statement was made
on the subject from an authoritative
quarter:
Events may force our hands, but
until they do we shall try in good
faith to carry out the mandate which
we hold from the powers"
1t was officially explained that the
artillery being shipped to Casa Blanca
from Oran Is designed to replace the
machine guns and other artillery land
ed from the warships, which are not
of SUFFICIENT range to reach the camps
of the rebels.
An official note says that General
Drude, in command of the French ex-
peditionary force at Casa Blanca, has
not asked for reinforcements and that
therefore the statement that the gov
ernment has declined to furnish him
with any more troops Is incorrect.

Washington, Aug. l5.-Secretary
Taft has returned to Washington from
his vacation OF about month spent
at Murray Bay. Ont He went early
to the war department, reaching his
Office before o'clock, and at once

needing his attention. The secretary
has considerable to do between now
and next Sunday, when he again
leaves the city on his Western trip,
which is to end in Seattle, where Mr..
Taft is to embark for the Philippines.
The most important matter on hand
Is that Of preparing his annual report
and the estimates OF appropriations
for the war department for the next
fiscal year, which he is anxious to
fnish mp before he again leaves the
city. He denied himself to all callers
except war department officials.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE ofiicials OF

companies declare that the strike OF
the operators is practically broken an,
that enough men are at work to han
die all the business offered. The lead
ers of the local union, while admitting
that the union has not sufficient funds
to meet for long the heavy demands
that are being made upon 1t, urged the
strikers to remain firm and promised
that financial aid would be forthcom-
ing.
From the newspaper point OF view
the situation is decidedly improved.
Both companies say that press matter
is being promptly moved. the many
leased wires to New York operated by
newspapers throughout the country
are manned and the press associations
report that their traffic is now prac-
lically normal. The Associated Press
Is maintaining it's customary circuits
fully manned and In the Eastern di-
