Starting with a contribution Of "a five
cent piece, $4,000 has since been raised
by the Red Men Of Delaware to build a
Home for their Aged and INDECENT, with
prospect ofthat amount being doubled
before next year. The idea, started a
few years ago by two Georgetown men,
James H. McGlothen, the late James
L. Thompson, and James Hargis of
Wilmington, Immediately met with
much favor and at present nearly all
Red Men in the State are contributing
cent a week toward the home. With
5000 members in the State the order
expects sOen to have enough money on
hand to start work on the home which
probably will be located in this county.

In The U. S. Court.

The many witnesses summond to
Wilmington last week were discharged
until next week. There were several
cases, but only the case OF Bobert P.
Small, who was charged with selling
liquor illegally, was brought before the
grand jury, a true bill Of Indictment
was found, and the case will be heard
next week. There were several cases
of liquor selling from other parts of the
county, and the parties plead guilty
and were sentenced. There appears but
little business before the court. other
than those Of liquor, or abuse of the
Post Office laws.

When the proposed new or at least i'm.
proved Sussex County Court House is
considered the cry Of high taxes ia
heard. OF course there always will be
opposition to the building of a court
house in Sussex. But there is no real
reason why that county should not
have modern. up-to-date court house.
Sussex is getting rich, at least her
papers say so, and her bank reports
bear them out. Sussex to-day is not,
pecuniarily speaking, Sussex Of years

court house, and her progressive eiti-

SPRAYING DISCUSSED BY
MEMBERS OF THE GRANGE

There will be a meeting OF Milford
Grange at 7.30 on the evening Of March
18th. The third and fourth degrees
will be conferred followed by q social
hour and refreshments.
At the meeting March 9TH il was nm.
aminOusly voted THAT in view OF the
terrible disaster at Cleveland, in ons
OF the public schools, we are firmly
convinced, that all school house doors
should open out, and no doors be locked
while school is in session, also that all
two story school buildings should be
provided with fire-escapes."
The subject Of spraying was taken
up by John J. Rosa. Spraying is used
to over come classes Of enemies. viz.
fungus troubles and insect pests. The
fruit grower who does not spray will
soon have no fruit. Tits spray or eesss
to grow fruit 1t is time now to sprav
for the fungus enemies and soon as tbs
buds swell the spraying for the insect
sort should be done. Bordeaux mixture
is used for the fungus and lime and
sulphur is standard spray for the other
class. The lime and sulphur is the only
thing claimed to reach both,
Bordeaux mixture is the we'll known
combination Of copper sulphate and
lime. 1t is essential to have plenty Of
lime in the mixture else it will burn
the foliage. 1t can easily be determined
where there is sufficient lime by drop
ping some ferrocyanide Of potassium
into the the mixture. 1.-THE drops turn
dark on striking the fluid more lime is
needed but when the drops are colorless
upon striking the surface Of the spray
it is safe to use.
or the insect pests the San Jose scale
heads the list. The lime, salt and sui.
phur spray is the standard preventative
Tor scale, Though effective, the action
Of this spray is peculiar and hard to ex-
plain. Oil sprays are being used more
and more and are much easier to make

City Of MILFORD Repalnted

The steamer City OF Milford has been
reprinted and repaired thoroughly, and
looks better than she ever did When
she starts on her first trip next Monday
she will appear like brand new steam.
boat. With new officers and crew, the
owners hope to get better results this
year from the boat, and it is now up to
officers and crew to make good, or they
will surely loose their jobs and the
boat be sold away from here. In the
past, there appears to have been lacking
any spirit of pride in their jobs by those
employed on the steamer, and it lie now
the intention OF the owners to give the
present season a complete try.Out.
There is plenty Of work for two, or even
more steamers from Milford to Phila-
delphia, and surely one passenger boat
out Of the lot can make good. With
clean boat, better management and
desire on the part Of the officers and
crew to make the enterprise a success,
this season will bring the result. Put
up the prices on some lines OF freight
and play fair with each other.

 MT. Mcintosh has Fleaned the scenic beauties of the country and it's foreign possessions and has transfer red the rich harvest from his camera into series of wonderful atereopti- con views, with which he will illus trete his talk Monday night. at the Hyperion, under the title, "The United States To-day" Some of these pic lures were secured in perilous places, many of them represent hardship and danger, but MT. Mcintosh has cap tured views that no other phOtogra- pher has ever secured, including the largest panorama ever made in the world. At his famous art studio in New York, Mr. Mcintosh has taken from time to time pictures of some of the most distinguished women in America and has the permission of the originals to use some of these in the course of his talk.
