THEY WANTED A HOLIDAY
Boys of City Schools Thought They
ought 10 Have Vaca-
tion Today.

For a while there threatened 10 be
a good natured rebellion in the city
schools this morning.
1t dawned upon the boys this
morning that this was legal hoii-
day, even If it is not one of the more
generally and extensively celebrated
holidays. and they at once held coun-
ell and decided that a holiday was
coming to them, This summer-like
weather that is prevailing has start
ed the spring fever coursing through
the veins of many a specimen of
the Young American. Visions of
glorious day spent in the hills or
roaming along the rivers came up
before the eyes of the gentle youths.
Consequently a mild outbreak for lib
erty was planned. Ascertaining this
morning that the holiday would not
he given voluntarily the boys in con
yention assembled selected commit
tee of ambassadors to meet in CON
ference with superintendent Allen
and to lay their claims and sonten-
tons before that Official.
Some of the nerviest youths were
chosen for this committee, boys that
were endowed with eloquence as well
as with wire wound nerves. They
gained an audience with Superintend-
ent Allen and told him of their
dreams of a holiday how unanimous
was the opinion among the boys that
such vacation should be forthcom-
ing. Naturally the boys were loath-
edtD to part with their studies for
one day but still they felt that they
could better commemorate the natal
day of the great emancipator If they
were freed from the cares and trials
Of study life.
Superintendent Allen couldn't see
the matter in the same light espec-
tally as the school board had made
no provisions for such holiday and
he let the boys down just as gently
as possible.
The committee then adjourned sine
die and the visions of strolls on the
hills and walks along the lazy Gunni-
son and the fiery Grand vanished as
mist before the morning sun. And as
the lads march into class rooms they
feel that "ol all the words the tongue
or pen, the saddest are these: 1t

PEACH MEN ARE HOPEFUL
Special to The evening Journal

Special to The Evening Journal
DOVER, April 1O.-Snow, hail and
rain. with a driving snowstorm lasting
three hours, fell over the fruit orchards
and vineyards of Delaware yesterday,
leaving the growers and orchardists in
"a state Of suspense that can only be
settled by a general examination Of
fruit conditions on the morrow or when
the spring sun shines again.
There IS no doubt that early plums
apricots, berries, grapes and particu-
lariy early Strawberries are killed, or at
least seriously injured by the downpour
OF snow and hail, coupled with the
freezing temperature.
Inquiry at the state Board of Agri-
culture Office, and later Of the president
of the Peninsula Horticultural Society,
fai. ed to elicit any official information
the fruit authorities refusing TO divulge
any opinion or guess until they had
made an examination of several or
chards and vineyards in various parts
OF the state and under different condi-
tions.
Peach growers refuse to accept the
opinion that early peaches or that the
peach crop in any particular has been
seriously affected, advancing the belief
that the trees and orchards were not
far enough advanced and opened in To-
liage for spring when the present cold
snap came and closed up the buds and
stopped the sap, staying further de-
velopment until the return Of spring
warmth.
The acreage throughout Delaware In
peaches is this year greater than pre-
vious years. except during the zenith OF
peach success. in 1875, many Alabama
and Georgia varieties Of the hardy kind
