GREAT YEAR FOR
DELAWARE MELONS

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del, Aug. 19.-This is proving
a great year for Delaware watermelons
and the streets of Dover wh.re are situ-
ated the fruit markets were htera.y
walled with the great, green fruit to-day.
Unlike New Jersey, the central sections
of Delaware have not sufficient water
communication TO ship the weighty fruit
at a cheap rate, and many of them must
be offered for home consumption at sacri-
fee prices. The Harrington belt.
where are raised the great Icelanders and
early sugar melons, appears to be over
burdened with the red-hearted fruit, but
this year the success OF melon raisers has
spread into New Castle county, as far as
Blackbird forest, where one man, Henry
Curlott has 1000 mammoth melons.
Charles Jones, another grower near
BlacSbird, had so many on his vines when
the ripening season arrived that he sold
his crop, outright, to a Philadelphia pro-
duce man rather than run the risk of such
heavy impending loss. The professors OF
the state College for colored students
near Dover. are successful growers OF
watermelons and the patches surrounding
the college settlement are literally stud.
ded with the fruit.

WOMAN'S SOUL
IS CHANGED BY
INFUSED BLOOD

NEWARK, Aug. 19-That a person s
mental traits may be completely revo
lutionized by artificial means seems to
be proved in the case of Mrs. ma
Bradley, now in ST. James Hospital
here. After quantity of her hus-
bands blood was infused into her veins
a month ago, she underwent a complete
mental change, and beside losing or
abandoning her own former mental at
tributes she has acquired all of -he
mental peculiarities of her husband.
The matter. which will be the sub
ject for discussion at the next meeting
of the Essex County Medical Society,
opens all manners of possibilities. Tie
doctors at st. James already believe
that they dftecr a slight change in the
voice Of Mrs Bradley She formerly
spoke with little strength. but now her
utterances are forceful and in a lower
key.
The case is one Of the strangest which
has come to the medical authorities Of
the East for many years. Mrs. Bradley,
the weak anaemic wife Of the prosper
Gus, healthy and strong business man
of Newark, living az No. 13 Grove
street. was found several weeks ago to
be suffering from a tuner. The physi-
clans said only the infusion Of blood
could save her.
Her husband. strong and healthy,
volunteered. and while he Law beside
his wife on the operating table on JULY
IL. a pint of his blood passed from his
wrist through a silver tube and ir.tC
his wife's wrist.
Until then Mrs. Bradley had been p
morose. despondent woman, who saw
little cheer in this world. Now she /.
