while their own people formed in line,
proved a grand spectacle, all with the
setting Of a magnificent ocean background
upon which was shining a glorious sum
mer sun.
Tho tribes from Delaware first lined up.
They came down the board walk in the
following order:
Delaware Tribe. No. 4; Wawa Tribe, of
Union, a baby tribe; Cherokee Tribe, No.

camo the "real" Indians, the uniformed

No. "a. Of Odessa. Indian River Tribe, of
Rehoboth. brought up the rear after rep
resentations Of every tribe Of lower Della
ware. as we'll as three women's tribes OF
the Pocahontas side degree.
A regular program had been prepared
by the committee Of Indian River Tribe
consisting Of Mayor A. w. Dick. Charles
S. Horn and w. T. Tappan. Of Rehoboth.
but there were so many entries to tine var

even the judges were so overcome in tabu.

There have been no very unfavorable
crop reports received.
The season for both blackberries and
huckleberries, which is now drawing to
a close, has been short. Huckleberries
have been in light receipt this year,
due to the small crop, and prices have
ranged high. Blackberries have also
been high. While the crop was not
small, the conditions governing black
berries were similar to those of this
years strawberry crop. the weather
being of a nature TO allow the farmer
to ship the berries TO market in such
quantities as to prevent a big break in
prices.
Tomatoes Expected to be Cheap.
Egg tomatoes are now arriving in
small quantities. and the outlook is that
there will be a fair crop. The red to-
matoes, it is expected, will be in large
supply, and prices will range low dur
ing the entire season. The late crop,
which is mostly used for canning, is in
exceptionally fine shape, the weather
during the last five weeks having been
very favorable. There is an abundance
Of cabbage, and therefore there will be
no shortage of sauerkraut during the
coming winter.

GET ON ON WRONG SIDE
Young Men Who Take Risks in Board =
ing Trolley Cars.

There are many people, especially
young men. who disregard the orders
of the employees of the trolley road
in getting on the left hand side Of The
cars. some insist on jumping on or
alighting by crawling under the bar.
and unless the practice is stopped an
accident win certainly be recorded.
An instance of this was seen on sixth
streets last night. when a young man
i'm getting on under the bar slipped
from the running board and he could
not yet his footing for some distance.
BY sheer strength he kept his hold,
however. and luckily the car stopped
to discharge other passengers. II at
the time the car had been going fast
an accident could hardly have been
avoided. The conductors give the
warning many times day, but there
are yet some who seem to pay little
attention to the trolleymen in this re-
gard.

GOOD OUTLOOK
FOR PRESERVES
Enough Fruits in Market for
Needs Of House
hOIdTeS
FAIR CROP ALL AROUND

Housekeepers who early in the sum-
mer took a mournful view of the pros
poets for a well-nlled preserve cup
board this season are now in a decid-
edly more cheerful mood.
While nearly every kind Of berry,
fruit and vegetable has been late COM
ing to market this year, due to the
cold weather during the last spring
and early summer, there has not been
"a great shortage in any important crop
thus far, except cherries. AS a rule,
prices have ranged somewhat higher
than last year, but not enough to pre-
vent the usual amount of preserving
and canning OF the vegetables and
fruits now on the market, or yet to
come, the prospects are decidedly more
promising than several months ago. A
few varieties, it is expected, will be
short.
Apple Crop Looking Up.
one Of the most welcomed changes
in crop prospects is that of apples.
Earlier in the season Il was expected
that apples would be very scarce this
year, and it was thought the fruit gem
orally had been greatly injured by
frost. The prospects at present, how
ever. are much better than at first
anticipated.
Grab Apple Crop Normal.
There will also be a fairly good crop
of crab apples, and it is believed that
prices during the season will be about
formal. Just at present, however they
are selling at relatively low prices, but
81. g ts.
continue.
The peach crop viii be short and It
is thought that prices will rule high
throughout the season. Just at pres
ent peaches from lower Maryland and
from Virginia are arriving in fairly
large quantities, but not as freely as
in other years. The Delaware peach,
however. continues scarce. It is esti-
mated that the crop will be about one
third of that of last year.
Pears Now Arriving.
Pears are just beginning to arrive.
and the indications are that there will
not be a large crop Prices will prob
ably remain high during the season. On
the other hand, plums will be in large
supply. They are now beginning to
come in from the mountain sections Of
Maryland and Pennsylvania, and it is
expected that prices will be low the
entire season.
The grape crop has been very back
ward this year, and few, if any, have
been received so far. The indications
are, however, that there will be a good
crop, and prices will range about on a
parity with an average season. Ounces
have not appeared on the market, and
will not arrive for some time to come.

ADVANCE GRANTED
HOSPITAL attendants

Tie attendents AZ the Danville hos.
pitsl for the insane have been granted
substantial increase In salary. This
welcome news was communicated TO
the employees az the institution ysster.
day afternoon by DR. Meredith The
attendants are also to have more
time at liberty as soon a. the force at
the hospital can be increased.
The attendants at the hospital have
for some time been dissatisfied with
their lot, both as TO pay aud time off.
The initiative was taken some days
ago. when all but one Of the fifty some
male attendants signed paper which
indicated that they desired a twenty
per cent. increase in salary, every
third Sunday wholly off and every
>other evening off. Failing to receive
this the attendants said they would
leave the employ of the institution.
At the meeting of the board of trus-
tees on Tuesday, favorable action was
taken and yesterday afternoon DR..
Meredith called the attendants COM
mittee before him and told them of
their good fortune, He also stated that
their requests for more time at lib.
erty would be complied with as soon
'as the officials Of the institution are
able to secure additional attendants.
A pleasing feature of the case is
that, although the female attendants
had no part in the demands made, yet
their pay is increased In the same pro-
portion as that of the men.
The new scale Of wages is as fol-
lows: Ward masters, $40; ward mis-
tresses, s32; graduate male attendants
S39; graduate female attendants $50
for male and female attendants not
graduated, a minimum ,of S22 aud SIC
respectively with quarterly increase
of So per month. These salaries in
clude board. lodging and laundry.

BIDS OPENED
AT HOSPITAL

The trustees of the hospital for the
insane held meeting at the institu
tion Tuesday for the purpose of open
ing the bids invited for the building
of the several new structures provid-
ed for by the large appropriation made
by the last leg stature.
The bids were opened, but the con-
tract was not awarded. Another meet
ing will be held Saturday, when it is
understood that the work will be let.
There were in all ten bidders, rep
resenting Philadelphia, Reading.
Lewistown and Buffalo. Each of the
competing firms had a man at the
meeting Tuesday. The proposals were
formally opened in the prc sence of the
representatives of the bidding firms.
Each of the bids was well within
the limit of the appropriation, which
is taken as gratifying circumstance.
1t has also been learned that two of
the lowest bidders are Philadelphia
firms. Steinbach, Billmeyer & Co. of
Lewistown, former Montour county
people. were among the bidders and
their figures were only little above
the lowest.
The contract. however, will be
awarded to the firm bidding the low
est only on condition that it can be
shown to be thoroughly responsible.
The board of trustees feels that it can
afford to delay the awarding Of con-
tracts for few days in order TO acqu.
ire necessary information relative to
the firms bidding. A meeting viii be
held not later than Saturday when the
contract will be awarded. 1t was
learned Tuesday that each CT the
firms bidding is prepared to begin
work in few days after the contract
is awarded.
