Thanksgiving Turkeys WIN Be Very Scarce
The outlook for turkeys in this Yicin-

day after lingering illness years. He
had been in poor health for some years
but the immediate cause of his death
was apoplexy. Mr.. Brady was one of
the best known citizens of New Caste
county. He was born in 1924 in the
village of Castle Knock, a suburb of
Dublin, Ireland, and came to America
in 1927 with his father, who was linen
manufacturer in Dublin. settling in
the upper part of the county near Will
mington. For number of years after
wards he lived in Pennsylvania, com

fore the breaking out of the Civil War
he located in Delaware City and formed
partnership with his brothers, M essrs.
Heury H. and William Brady and en-
gagged in the towing business on the
Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, in
which business he was very successful.
On March 27th, 1861, he married Miss
Rebecca Williams McIntire, of Della

children were born to them, seyen of
whom are still living. They are: Mrs.

THE SOUTH IN THE SADDLI

The South is far more prosperous
today than it was in the days OF
slavery, possesses more industrial
independence and its wealth and
strength are increasing by leaps
and bounds. AS to the growth of
the cotton manufactures industry,
which in the next two decades will
become an enormous source of
wealth for the South, the Wash
ington post has this to say:
"The mills are crowded with
work and are paying good divi-
dends. New mills going up all the
time. And the cotton producers
are quite as satisfactorily situated.
The Chicago Tribune mentions
the cheering fact that according to
present indications, this years
cotton crop will bring a return Of
more than 800, 200, 900, an amount
exceeding by 3OO,OOO,OOO the
total gold production of the world
for 1896. The larger part of this
money will come from Europe.
And further, the Tribune submits
that when a comparison is made
between the cotton crops of the last
six years and tn ose of the six
years preceding that period it is
seen that there has been an increase
in aggregate value of more than a
billion and a quarter dollars"
The futHre of the South, as the
New Orleans States says, bright as
it is now, will be assured beyond
all doubt the moment conditions
ripen to the point where all the
money that somes from the pro-
duction of cotton is kept at home
by the manufacture of the cotton
at home. The laws of nature, as
well as those of economy, have
decreed that the South, which
raises the cotton, is the logical
seat of it manufacture into pro-
ducts for the world s use, and that
1t has the advantages which enable
1t to manufacture cheaply into
goods of all cotton it can produce,
are evidenced in the abundance of
Its now developed water courses
which can furnish power for thous-
ands of mills.

UNDER THE HAMMER.
Million Dollar Furnishing of Nc
Curdy's Offices to Be Sold.

New York Oct. 30.-The departed
glories of the old regime in insurance
will be shown to the public tomorrow
and the next day at the Silo art gal
leries. Then the auctioneer's hammer
will dispose of them. The trustees OF
the Mutual Life Insurance company
decided some time after Richard A. Nc
Curdy retired from the presidency that
the presidents office need not be a
private suite, furnished and decorated
at a cost of 100000 to the company by
artists imported fir Jm France, where the
furniture was all purchased. They de-
cfded also that one board room, and
very commonplace one at that, was
good enough for meetings of the trus-
tees, and that it was hardly necessary
for each of the executive officers to
have a meeting room of his own in
which to call together the committee of
which he might be chairman.
In pursuance of this policy there was
a great cleaning out in the Mutual Off
ces with the idea of renting some of
the space made available by the process
of combining the business of the COM
pany within the ordinary limits. The
furnishings taken from these rooms,
which represent an original investment
of not less than $1.O00,000. are now to be
put to sale.
An idea of the magnihcence taht pre-
vailed in McCurdy private office may
be obtained by a description of few

XVI table, perhaps eight feet by five in
size, of solid mahogany and laid over
with the finest gold leaf. A carved gilt
Louis XVI revolving chair, upholstered
in brocade, was used by Richard A.
McCurdy as a desk chair.
Six armchairs of the same style stood
about Mr.. McCurdy's office, the whole
set costing not less than $15,000 accord
ing to the estimates of experts. A $4,000
clock stood on the gilt-edge mantel
piece which the official description
reads real bronze, Louis XVI clock set,
mounted in Russian malachite. This is
probably one of the finest clock sets In
the United States.
On exhibition there were hand-illum-
mated leather and walnut chairs, a
dozen or so clocks, rosewood and bronze
wardrobes, not to speak of bronzes
desk sets, Sevres vases, satin damask
window draperies, rosewood card tables
and other accessories.

EXCURSIONS TO STAY.
Railroads Will Make an Advance in
Homeseekers' Rates.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-At a meeting
here Representatives of the larger rail-
way systems agreed not to abandon
the homeseekers excursions to the
west
Since the passage of the two cent
fare laws in many of the western
states there had been talk of discon-
tinuing the low homeseeker rates. For
three days the general passenger
agents Of the larger systems have been
in conference here considering the
question.
There was a minority opinion that
the rates should be wiped out and
regular tariff charged to all. Repre-
sentatives of the Union Pacific, Bur-
lington, Milwaukee & ST. Paul, North
western and Rock Island said that I'M
der no circumstances would they
agree to abandon these rates, as they
had resulted in building the west.
It was agreed, however, that the
homeseekers rates be slightly advanc-
ed after January 1. The maximum ad-
vanced will be SIS on each round trip
ticket. To illustrate, the round trip

HOW TO CUT EXPENSES.
Railroad Men in Conference to Devise
Ways and Means.

New York, Oct. 30.-Men who are
prominently identified with the imme-
date and practical operation of the
large railroad systems of the country
gathered in this city and took counsel
with each other as to how best to cur
tail expenses on their respective roads.
The general opinion expressed by
these men was that there will be a
material reduction in the outlay for
the operation of railroads and in the
purchase of railway supplies through
out the United States.
The principal gathering place of the
railroad managers was the Holland
House. There during the day the exc
cutive committee of the American
railway association met and conferred
with Representatives of the steel re-
tail commission.
This executive committee is COM
posed of the following members. w.
c. Brown, vice president of the New
York Central; Daniel Willard vice
president of the Chicago Burlington
& Quincy; w. A. Gardner, vice presi-
dent of the Chicago and Northwest

BOWLING AT THE Y. NJ. c. A.
Considerable Interest Being Taken In
This Exercise.

The recent disagreeable days have
stimulated the bowling on the Central
Y. M c. A. alleys. The members who
have been driven into the building by
the weather have been making use of
the alleys for exercise. A number of
high scores have been rolled and a live
~ scramble is now on to decide who
is to secure and hold the record for
this season. At present the record is
held by Mr.. G. w. Snyder with a score
of 244. Mr.. Fred Fuller is second with
a score of 223.
A number of business and profession
al men have been making use of the
alleys during the noon hour and con-
test will soon be started to decide who
can roll the highest score before
luncheon. The alleys are open to all
mem bers from noon until 10 D. M, and
are in excellent condition.
Special arrangements are now being
made which will provide Wednesday
night as ladies night when members
of the association will be permitted to
bring their lady friends to the bowling
alleys and teach them to bowl
