Petition Dismissed.

In the equity proceedings OF
Elizabeth Robinson who filed a
petition asking the Court to order
payment to her of the corpus of a
trust fund, which was recently
argued before the Circuit Court OF

of the proceeding. The opinion
states that the agreement set up by

iished, and even if 10 had not been,
the Court would have dismissed
her petition as rsueh questions as
were Involved could only be raised

Peach Crop Below Estimate.

Delaware's peach crop threatens
to fall far below the estimate pre-
pared some time ago by the Penn
sylvania Railroad and buyers and
growers are much discouraged.
Before the season opened it was
estimated that $4,000 baskets
would be shipped from Bridgeville,
one of the largest shipping points,
but growers do not now anticipate
more than 100, 900 from Bridgeville.
The same falling off is reported from
all the peach centres.
Some growers think a fungus is
responsible, while others declare
excessive rains have spoiled the
crop. Delaware peaches this
season are not up to the standard
in size@ flavor or quality, but the
prices are holding good.

Family OF Seven Victims OF poison

Summoned by'telephone to the
home of Abner Fell, a prosperous
farmer living near West Grove,
physicians found the entire family,
consisting of father, mother and
FIVE children, ranging from IA to 8
years of age, writhing in agony and
giving every evidence of acute
poisoning. 1t was learned that all
became afflicted after eating a
hearty dinner. Realizing the des-
perate situation the father managed
10 telephone for physician just
before he collapsed. No one else
was on or about the premises, and
the entire family would probably
have perished had not medical aid
reached them promptly. =
Suspicion of ptomaine poisoning
fails by reason of the uneaten food
left on the table giving no evidence
of faint. All had partaken heartily
of a large custard pudding. This
and other things left were taken
for careful examination. 1t is sus
pected that the pudding had
arsenic in it.
Mrs. Fell, the wife and mother,
had but a few months ago returned
from Embreeville hospital where
she had been confined by reason OF
her mind being affected. 1t is said
a physician who had once attended
the family protested against her
release at the time, saying it vas
not safe. The attending physicians
refused to affirm or deny these
rum0rs.

MIGHTIEST FACTOR IN THE
BUSINESS WORLD.

Advertising is today the might
lest factor in the business world,
writes Truman A. De Wesse in
System, the magazine of bust
ness. 1t is an evolution Of mod
ern industrial competition. 1t is
a business builder, with desire.
1t is something more than a
drummer" knocking at the door
of the consumer something more
than mere craftsmanship on paper.
Advertising is a positive Great
i've force in business. 1t builds
factories, skyscrapers and rail-
roads. 1t makes two blades Of
grass grow in the business world
where only one grew before. 1t
multiplies human wants and in
tensifies desires. The result is
that 1t forces man to great con-
sumption, hence stimulates his
production to keek up with his
buying desires.
Before advertising was devel-
oped into a fine art and before it
became q factor in the cOmmarc.
ial world the business of the
manufacturer and merchant was
to supply the normal needs and
desires of the human family;
merchandising was bounded by
mans necessities and by his
meager knowledge of the luxur-
les which he deemed within his
reach.

1T is NOT FAIR POLITICS.

Mr.. Bryan has struck back at
the New York World pamphlet de-
signed to bolster the assertion
thatthe Democratic party has lost
heavily sincethe gentlemen from
Nebraska assumed the leadership
The World contrasted conditions
in 1892, when Cleveland carried
the country, with conditions at
the present time in which the
New York newspaper leaves only
a portion of the South to the par
ty. Mr.. Bryan replies: If the
World wants to be fair why
doesn't it publish a map of the
country showing the party vote
in 1894 and another map showing
the vote in 1904, and thus inform
the public that the party Jared
better in 1896 and 1900 than in
either congressional campaign
before | ran, or in the presidential
campaign after l ram" The
point made by Mr. Bryan is a
good one and should be kept in
mind by the public. In 1894
Cleveland was in the White House
and had both branches of con-
gress with him, being the first
time IN thirtyfve years that the
Democratic party had full con-
troll of the government. In
1894 the Republicans turned the
tables entirely, and this was two
years before Mr.. Bryan came in
to prominence as a national lead
er. 1t is manifest that he can
not be held responsible for that
defeat. AS the World largely
assisted in imposing the candid
acy Of Judge Parker on the par
ty in 1904 and Mr.. Bryan oppos-
ed his nomination, it ill-becomes
the New York paper to publish
a map showing the political as
pect OF the country in that year
as descriptive Of conditions at
the present time and to credit
those conditions to the influence
