Word was received here to-day frem

that city think they have a noted crook.
He had in his pockets a bottle of'chloro-
form. a false mustache. and two gold
watches. In the bed in the room where
he slept was loaded revolver, Sc n United
states currency, a $50 Confederate bill, an
electric dark lantern and steel chisel
which bore paint marks.
The prisoner gave his age as 20 years.
The local police had not heard Of his ar
rest and could give no information COM
cerning the case. A reporter for THE
EVENING JOURNAL learned that there
was only one family by the name Of Miller
engaged in the baking business here.
Father and son. both named Henry. are
engaged in this business az Sixth and
Madison streets and they are among the
most prominent Cerman-Americans in this
city. The junior Miller is about 80 years
of age and said to-day that he never
heard Of another bager in Wilmington OF

WOODS ROBBED
in THEIR GLORY
City Parks Just Now Brilliant
With Most Vivid
Tints

The autumnal coloring of the woods
has been practically vivid this year.
The change took place more gradually
than usual. and the trees have remain
ed well clothed. so that the density Of
foliage is combined with brilliancy Of
tints. Here and there individual trees
in the parks are beginning to show
bare, but the oaks. the naples. the
beeches and the Doplars. which make
the chief contribution of color to the
landscape. are stin thicklv covered
with leaves.
The brightest color in the fall dis
play Of the woods is that supplied by
the black gum tree. which. unfortu-
nately, is rather a rare tree in the pub
lie parks. It's stat-shaped leaves turn
a vivid crimson, and as it is fond of
the neighborhood of water. il is much
in evidence in the prospect seen from
car windows along the railway lines
The vivid red tints in the landscape
strikes every traveller between VIII
mington and Philadelphia, and the
high color is due TO the gum tree
Probably the most intense color dis
play in Delaware next to the gum
tree, the maple presents the most
highly colored autumn foliage, and the
grayish green leaves of the cypress
form an effective background.
While some Of the trees have lost
much Of their leaves, only the lindens
and here and there a beech look bare.
The oaks are generally still thicky
robed with foliage The locusts are
stiI apparently as verdant as ever,
and show the effects of autumn only
by the pods that hang to their
branches and bestrew the ground
around
