plucked up courage and went to her
house After being seated with her
on the sofa, he said, Mary, love
you" The young lady who was look
ing for this for some time, dropped
her eyes and murmured, Ditto,

pointment he changed the subject and
finally wcr away. The next day he
was talking 70 some brother policemen

STATE MUST HAVE MORE REVENUE.
Old Law Revived Which Brings Many More
Business Concerns Under the Ban Who
Must Pay License to Clerk of Peace.

A general itemized opinion regard
ing the new license laws was obtained
from Attorney-General Robert H.
Richards Saturday by the clerk of
the peace of Kent county. Mr.. Darby
the clerk, was in doubt as to why
undertakers had never been taxed in
Kent county and where bakers came
in, and whether the soft-drink law
applied to all refreshment stands and
soda water fountains, and Just where
butchers stood who went about the
country dressing home grown cattle
and selling them from their own
wagons. The Encouragement dis
posed of the whole matter by carefully
citing the law and making the follow
ing deductions under which the clerks
of the peace shall hereafter operate or
until the opinion of the present at
torney-general should be challenged
and upset. That bakers are manu-
frcturers and must pay tax and take
ont license under the manufacturers
tax law. That undertakers and mer-
chants, not manufacturing but supply
ing and selling funeral outfits already
manufactured, and they, therefore
must take out a merchants license
That all eating houses, drug stores
refreshment restaurants, which during
the summer or at any other time sell
drinks prepared on the premises o
purchased at wholesale to be sold Oh
the premises, other than intoxicating
liquors, shall take out and pay tn,
special $25 license. This does no
apply to church festivals or entertain
ments for charitable purposes. Tha
butchers who sell meat which the
have obtained by going about tn
country, and dressed, shall be liabl
for merchants taxes unless they cal
establish that they have raised all tht
cattle themselves on their own farm
or under their own supervision.

WOODLAND BEACH STEAMER
USES HOSE TO QUELL MOB
THOMAS CLYDE MEETS WITH EXCITEMENT
AT CHESTER AFTER LEAVING WOODLAND
Crowd Awaiting to Get Passage on Steamer
Could Not Be Accommodated and BecOm-
ming Angry, The Hose Was Used.

A disturbance that assumed almost
the proportions of riot occurred at the
steam boat landing at Chester Sunday
evening, when the captain of the ex-
cursiOn steamer Thomas Clyde, whic
runs between Arch street wharf and
Woodland Beach, refused to permit
crowd of 300 persons to board his boat.
According to a passenger, when the
Clyde stopped at Chester on the down
trip in the morning she took on 115
excnrsionists. This was all, with the
number already on the boat, the law
permitted. When the Clyde returned
Sunday evening to discharge the Ches-
ter passengers, a crowd of 800 people
were waiting to take passage to Phila-
delphia. After the Chester people had
been unlOaded the announcement was
made that only the same number could
be accommodated. This angered the
crowd, who surged forward and, break
ing down the gate on the pier, made a
rush for the boat. Seei ng that words
were of no avail, the Clyde's crew
played the hose on the thoroughly an
gered mob, and the captain ordered
the gang plank pulled in. This fur
ther incensed the crowd, who broke
the rails from the gate and threw then
at the boat, together with bottles,
bricks and other missiles. Those OIL
board threw back whatever came
handy, while someone on the boat sho
in the air. For few minutes it looked
as if there might be a panic on the boat
but before serious results could occur
the vessel had pulled out to midstrear
and proceeded on her way.

HEAVY GRAIN SHIPMENTS At cHEswOLD.
Rush on Monday the Biggest In Recent Years
Were Unable TO Get Enough Cars.

"e'e OhdOle 10 ue' EnOuSO Cars'
CHEswoLD, July, 29:-The rush of
wheat into cars on our siding surpasses
anything known in recent years. Mr..
D. H. BOyce has shipped a large guam
tity of new wheat the past ten days
and says in about two and one-half
hours last Friday he purchased little
more than $4,000 bushels for immed-
late delivery. He is experiencing how
ever, some trouble to obtain cars. The
weather has been fine this year for
threshing up to Monday of this week.
The experience of last year when wheat
damaged in fields and barns, pro-
duced in the minds of our growers a
phrensy this year to get it off their
hands. Wheat is yielding finely. Mr.
Howard Garrison seems the champion,
getting 34S bushels from scarcely II
acres. Mr. Harry Ross received al
much per acre from few acres bat
his average was "a bushels per acre Of
1900 from so acres.

Farmers OF this State Stirred Up Over Order
Of State Board of Agriculture Which Was
Put Into Effect One Day Last We:k.

The order from the State Board of
Agriculture calling upon all farmers
to Immediately report to the Governor
in writing whenever they have
animals that they know or even have
reason to suspect are infected with
contagious or fatal disease, has caused
a shake up through the eastern part
of Kent county, especially when it is
announced that the law of 1881 would
be applied to all conditions as they
exist to-day. Fines of not more than
$500 and Imprisonment for not more
than one year now await the farmer
who hides the existence of anthrax or
pleuro-pneumonia on his place DIR
j, r. Kuhns, the Dover veterinarian
who is working in the anthrax district
near Leipsic, reported to-day that but
four of 200 cattle which he mad in

that much harm is being done by
reports being spread that the deaths
animals from anthrax were caused by
the use of the vaccine. As long as this
is allowed to go on we may expect the
more credulous and ignorant to decline
having their animals inoculated. In
Florida this would be considered a
misdemeanor and the guilty parties
would soon be given opportunity to
