 NEW YORK, March 11.-There was little news accompanying the sharp rise in the stocks today, and. in fact it would hardly seem that much explanation was in order. Such a recovery generally comes from gloom and pessimism of the general public. Here is the point where insiders accumulate and sucn has been the case in the very recent past. A reasonable setback is to be expected after today's rise with a consequent reaction in tne general list. We think the market will be re actionary tomorrow.

 T:a' New York market shows strength again today and advances of 1 1-2 to points were recorded up until noon, when there was slight recession, St. Paul, Reading and Missouri Pacic were the leaders.
 The eoppers, while firm, did not show much activity. excepting Anal gamated, which shows an advance of better than 1 point. Copper Range, North Butte and Old Dominion also advanced fractionally.
 The curbs are quiet and show very little change. There is a fair local demand for Warren and Black Noun tain, and these two stocks look like buys at present prices. The general list is about the same as yesterday s final figures.

Jean Richepin's Career.

The story of how he came to adopt
a literary career is sufficiently pictur-
esque. For some time he had picked
up precarious livelihood by doing
"odd jobs" including such prosaic oc-
curations as that of bootblack and
casual porter on the Quai Marseilles.
One day he was engaged by a gentle
man to carry to the railway station a
heavy trunk. Arrived at the station,
there was all instant mutual recogni-
ton. They were old college chums.
What are you doing here" asked his
friend. Carrying your trunk, I be-
lieve," said Jean. "Why do you do
this?" Because 1 must" Where

piled Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling-a miserable room in
an attic in the poorest quarter of the
town. Upon the table lay scattered
heaps of manuscripts-Jean's incur

The Name SARATOGA.

The original name of Saratoga was
"Serachtague." About the middle of
the eighteenth century it was 'Saragh-

Governor Leisler it was "Sarachtoge."

enthusiasm on the athletic field back

COUNTRY FAIR A SUCCESS
Ladies Took in About $500 From
Which They Will Clear About 5000

The ladies of the Century Club are
in high glee over the financial success
of the Fair. The power of ten cents
was fully demonstrated. The
receipts from all sources amounted
to about 100000 from which the
ladies will clear about 100000. The
gate receipts alone amounted to over
$3.50. The chairmen of the various
committees will meet with the club
directors this evening when a detailed
report will be made and the actual
earnings ascertained. Much of the
responsibility fell upon Mrs. S. j.
Reynolds chairman of the Executive
Committee and the real head of the
enterprise. She is receiving hearty
congratulations upon her success.

HON. W. H. STATION SPEAKS.

Former SmYrnian was the Hero of the
Day and Was Given Warm Welcome
Immediately after the parade, the
crowds assembled at the Fair Grounds
to attend the patriotic exercises COM
memorating the Fourth and the speech
making by former Smyrnians. Hon.
Walter o. HOffecker was the presid-
ing officer and made the address of
welcome. The Stayton Cornet Band
played a number of patriotic airs
after which Hon. w. H. Stayton of
New York City, a former Smyrna boy
who graduated from the United States
Naval Academy, and afterwards en-
tered the profession of law with sig
nal success, was introduced to the
assemblage and made an address.
Mr.. Statyon gave a sympathetic talk
that touched the hearts of his hear
ers. 1t was not an eloquent or dra-
matte speech. 1t was a heart to
heart talk to his friends, to the citi-
zens of the town he loved. He be-
came reminiscent and told of happy
days and the changes he had noted in
a span of thirty or more years.
Many times his eyes filled and ne
had trouble to control his emotions
but he went on and told of a number
of incidents that were interesting.
During his remarks he paid a high
tribute to the women of the Twen-
tieth Century Club for the effort they
were making and of the splendid ad-
vertisement such an enterprise was to
! the town. He touched on other
things too, and recalled people and
old line families that have been
prominent in Smyrna for generations
and when the closed his remarks a
number pressed forward to extend
him the welcome hand. There were
other addresses. Gilbert S. Jones,
manager and one of the proprietors
of the Wilmington Evening Journal,
gave a few we'll chosen remarks.
He was followed by Hon. Benjamin
A. HAZEL, who spoke in his usual
characteristic vein. The addresses
were all heartily applauded.

This Department Exceeded all Expecta-
tions and SweIled the Receipts to 500
The Automobile" Seeing Smryna"
did a rushing business during the
Fair and at all times the demand was
greater than the supply. This depart
mnet was in charge of Mrs. w. B.
Megear, Miss Bertha Hoffecker and
Miss Bertha Smithers. DIR. W. D.
Burton of Dover, hired his auto for
the three days to the ladies and part
of the time C. M. Hammond of Mil
ford let the ladies have his machine.
Ten cents for a round trip ride was
charged and from the start it proved
popular. This was probably due to
the hot weather, many seeking it as
means to get cooled off. The
course taken by the machine was
from Fair rounds, around Main to
Commerce, out Commerce to Spruance
City, thence back to Smyrna by Mt.
Vernon street, to Delaware Street,
, to South Street and Fair Grounds.
Much of the time there was rush
for seats and it required the attention
of a man to keep the crowd to await
their turn. The automobile receipts
amounted to nearly SlOO.

Owing to the dissatisfaction last
year, the ladies decided to award
more ribbons to be divided as
follows: First, Organization;
second, Floats; third, Horsemen; /;
and fourth, Originality. The
judges, however, were not perplexed
in making their awards this year for
the reason of the small number of

.HOFFECKER FARM BARELY
ESCAPES SWEEPING FIRE
STRAW RICK CATCHES FIRE FROM
ENGINE WHILE THRESHlNG

Rick and Two Wagon Loads of Wheat
Consumed Entaied a Loss Of About
5000 Pair Horses Badly Burned
While threshing wheat for Charles
H. Mattiford on the Hofecker Farm
in Cedar Lane yesterday afternoon,
the spark arrester in the smoke stack
of the engine of William Reed, owner
of the threshing rig, blew out and
in a short time fire was discovered
in a half a dozen different places
almost at the same instant. AS a
result the straw rick containing the
straw from about 25 acres Of wheat,
two loads of wheat, two farm wag-
ons, lot of fencing, &c, were con-
sumed entailing a loss of about
$1,000 partially insured. Reeds
threshing machine was also burned
but not seriously damaged. His loss
will figure about $4,000. A pair of
horses belonging to Fred Thomas at
tached to one of the wagons loaded
with the burning wheat were badly
burned before they could be gotten
loose. 1t was about four O'Clock
yesterday afternoon when the fire
broke out. Everything being
exceedingly dry from the long
drought, fire made rapid progress.
fortunately the wind was blowing the
sparks away from the buildings and
but for this nothing could have
prevented a clean sweep of all the
out buildings on the farm. With the
aid of two pumps, the loose straw
near the buildings was kept wet to
prevent its spreading and by close
vigilance a serious conflagration was
averted. The nearest building was
only about fifteen or twenty feet
from the burning straw rick. At
one time the stables were endangered
by the wild rush of one Of the teams
of burning wheat. The frightened
horses made a rush for the pound
Fortunately the gate was closed anc
the team could not enter. All thi!
time the wagon and its contents wa.
in blaze and the awful agony cuseC
one of the horses to rear up anC
plunge against the gate, breaking i
down. The team, however, did no
proceed far for one of the wheels
caught in the post and held it fast
The horses were soon extricated. Hat
the load of burning wheat gotten int,
the pound and stable, nothing woult
have prevented the fire from cOnsum
ing all the buildings. The fire smoul
dered all night and a watch was KEEP
to prevent another outbreak. Mr.

Some Happy Features Introduced

Company Make a Hit at The Fair
Some Happy Features Introduced
Once within the Fair Grounds,
nearly everybody made a bee-line
for the Side Show, the splendid
enterprise gwen under the direction
of Mrs. A. E. Jardine and Mrs. J.
w. Clifton. The ladies had secured
this year the Duck Creek Cross
Roads Vaudeville Company, a troupe
of great renown. Their reputation
had come before them and from the
start the tent was crowded at all
performances. Mrs. Jardine was
again at the ticket stand and as
usual her get-up and manner, so
typical of the old time side show,
attracted attention. Mrs. Clifton
also typically attired took tickets
at the entrance. George w. Gum
ing was the darker" and the show
was in full blast. The band played
and the crowd poured in and this was
kept up necessarily at all perfor-
mances during Thursday and Friday
evenings and all day Saturday.
The vaudeville included the Dutch
Girls and their Dutch songs,
splendid organization of singers that
won frequent and hearty applause.
Their costume was in keeping with
the Dutch and those who participated
are: Mrs. Hirons Denney, Mrs.
Charles H. LeFevre, Miss Mildred
Hudson, Miss Eleanor Spruauce,
Miss Julia Hum, Miss Elizabeth
Wilson, Miss Anna Wilson. The
famous New York Prestidigitator
(Mr. William Ransom) was there
and his slight-of of-hand performances
held the crowds in wonder and amuse-
ment. His tricks were exceedingly
clever. Then there was the comedy
John Mannering and Harvey FAIRIES
were burnt cork artists that kept the
crowds in continuous laughter. They
were applauded again and again.
The Teddy Bear and the Teddy Bear
Song was one of the most charming
numbers on the program. Raymond
Cummins was disguised to represent
the Teddy Bear and the song wa:
sung by Miss Marjorie Joseph. They
were encored again and again. Miss
, Pauline Gray of Seaford and Mis-
Mary Reed of this town, contributed
! to the musical part of the program
with their bright and catchy songs
And we must not forget doc" Mas
sey with his comic songs and his banj,
, and guitar. He made a hit as usual
especially when he "settled the rae,
question. In the inner circle o
the tent was the collection of mon
strOsities, probably the creates
collection ever shown in Smyrna

MRS. WIGG'S CABBAGE PATCH

Was Novelty and Under Direction of
Miss Laura Bell Was Well Patronized
One of the novelties at the Country
Fair was Mrs. Wigg's Cabbage
Patch, cleaver production of Miss
Laura A. Bell. The booth was built
to represent Mrs. Wigg's home and
the spacious cabbage patch. The
artistic work alone was we'll worth
seeing. Miss Bell showed clever
artistic taste in design. The charac-
teristic house, the latched door, the
stable out window of which poked a
horses. head, were all typical of the
farm life. Miss Bell had a corps
of assistants looking after the
cabbage patch, plot of ground that
abounded in good money values every
time customer took a chance.
