GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

As soon as weather will allow, large
fleet Of vessels laden with watermelons
from the lower Potomac will come into
port and will berth at the. 18th street
wharf to discharge.
There have been no arrivals of melon
laden vessels since early in the week the
supply on hand at the wharf market,
however, is more than sufficient to meet
the demand, which has been good.
This morning there were ten or twelve
vessels at the wharf with melons aboard
1t was estimated that there were over
Is, 900 melons aboard. Plenty of melons
on hand has kept the price of fruit from
advancing. Today they are selling at
SIS per hundred for selected fruit. down
to So per hundred for culls.
The watermelons brought to market TINS
summer have been exceptionally fine and
the supply large. The consequence is
that they are selling this year at lower
prices than for many years. and dealers
say prices will go lower before the season
Is over.
Many vessels which early In the season
were employed In the melon trade are
now down the river overhauling and
making ready to run oysters to this
market next month.
or the fleet Of eight or ten big coasting
schooners lying in port here ten days ago
waiting opportunity to discharge cargoes
of Maine ice, not one Is here now They
have unloaded and have gone to coal
loading points on Chesapeake bay or
Georgetown. have loaded soft coal and
have sailed for ports in New England.
There are two vessels in port unloading
ice, the Frank B. Stenson, which arrived
in the latter part of last week. and the
three-masted schooner Hugh Kelly, which
was brought into port Wednesday by the
tug Camilla. But one vessel Is now on
her way here with ice from Maine. 1t
is probable this will be the last cargo of
ice to come here this season.
The schooner Bradford c. French, which
Is reported coming with ice from Maine,
will not bring her cargo here. but will go
to Baltimore or Philadelphia. The two
go to Georgetown for coal cargoes for
Boston or other. New England ports.
Three tugs Of the Taylor fleet of this
city were required to tow the light four
masted schooner William E. Tanner from
this city to Newport News. where she
will load soft coal for a northern port
The Tanner completed unloading yes
terday morning and the river tug James
o. Carter took the tow line Of the vessel
and started down the river.
A short distance below Alexandria the
Carter met the tug Camilla. To her the
tow was transferred. The Camilla is
scheduled to tow the schooner to the
mouth of the river. where she will meet
the tug Davis and will turn the Tanner
over to her to be taken to Newport News.
Arrived-Schooner Dove, canned goods,
from the lower Potomac for this mar
ket: tug Dixie, towing a coal-laden barge
from Chesapeake City; bugeye A. Rob-
Alexandria; tug Walter F. Meade, with
q tow of five sand and gravel laden

Negotiating.
From the Cleveland Leader


After long and careful consideration OF
the matter. 1T has been decided that med
icine and doctors and such are useless.
All one has to do to keep healthy is to
eat the right vegetables at the right time.
This decision is forced by various and
sundry articles and recommendations In
divers papers and magazines. Notes
taken show, among other things. the fol-
lowing:
Spinach is one of the best aperients
known. and it is also good in stomach
troubles. Carrots cure govt. Celery is q
nerve tonic. and. as II contains sulphur,
Is excellent in case OF rheumatism. For
sluggish liver, nothing is superior to
tomatoes. Parsnips will purify the blood;
watercress is also valuable for the same
purpose. II there is anything wrong with
your chest, eat bananas. Beets will help
you put on flesh: asparagus will stimulate
the kidneys. Lettuce will soothe the
nerves, and correct insomnia; onions also
constitute a nerve food.

sun DOG IS STILL GROWING
MARINER SAYS CELESTIAL GA.
NINE CAUSED STORM.
He and Weather Bureau Agree That
Some Fair Weather Is
Bound This Way.

The dreary rainstorm Is passing away
and sunshine, genial sunshine, is coming
again.
The recent rain area is passing off over
the bosom of the Atlantic, Prof. Garriott
are following in its wake. It will continue
fair and the temperature will rise slowly.

ing than yesterday morning. The O'Clock

land there will be seasonal weather and
temperatures all Of next week.
The weather bureau records show that
since last Monday S4-1OO inches of rain
fell upon Washington. OF this 2.82 came
down in the deluge last Tuesday and
Tuesday night.
All the bad weather OF the past week Is
due entirely to a sun dog, according to a
marine weather prophet who has been
handing out bits of weather lore to Star
reporter for several years past.
Last Sunday. he said TO Inc star re-
porter aboard his steamer yesterday aft
ernoon. "you recollect asking me about
the weather and my telling you that I
had seen a sun dog to the north'ard of
the sun, and that 1t meant a decided
change in the weather, but whether for
good or bad weather I could not say.
Well, that sun dog is the cause of the
northeast storms we have had this week.
and It would not surprise me to see the
easterly weather continue. although it is
time for q change to come.
Paste This in Your Hat.
LET me see," he said, "poking his head
out OF the pilot house window and look
ing around. II see no signs in the clouds
Of a break-away just now. but it may
come tomorrow.
Tell the readers Of The Star to paste
this in their scrapbooks: If you see q sun
dog to the north'ard Of the sun in the late
summer look out for bad weather.

will be apparent at glance. In combina-
ton with the tub. a burner tube is dis
posed under the tub with holes for dis
charging the flame. These openings are
placed at distances increasing from one
end of the tube to the other, the openings
adjacent where the water enters the tub
being closer together than at the opposite
end. The common practice of heating extra
water In large vessels on the stove can
thus be done away with. The ipcOnven-
fence of carrying the water upstairs. aft
err heating is also eliminated, together
with the danger of injury from falling.

Judging by the attendance at the two
county conventions held at Holyoke, our
people need to be awakened to the great
Importance of the Sunday School con
vention work. Many act as though the
Sunday School convention was intended
10 benefit only the teachers and workers
in the Sunday School. This is great
mistake. 1t is intended to interest and
instruct everyone who takes any inter
est in seeing successful work done in
the Sunday School and to create AN in
terest in this work in those who have
no interest in the work. II you have
not been taking much interest In The
Sunday School work. just turn over n
new leaf next Sunday and go to Sun
day School and continue to attend till
the date of the next convention and you
will not fail to take an interest IN that
convention. Get into the work either
as a toacher or as member OF Bible
class.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF PHILLIPS COUNTY

W.lJ. Bryan recently defined his po-
sition on the question Of the disfran-
chising of the negro in manner that
will make him solid with the democratic
party in some of the southern states.
nr. Bryan was speaking on THE Broth
erhood of Man" when he was asked by
a man in the audience if the disfran-
chisement of the negro in the south is
in accord with the spirit of brotherhood
of which he had been speaking. He re-
piled as follows.
"The white man Of the south puts
qualification on negro suffrage in self
defense. There is not community in
the north that would not put on simi-
lar qualification under the same circum-
stances. The white man in neither the
north nor south will permit few men
to take the solid black vote and
use it for the making of money regard
less of the interests Of the community
as was done by the carpet-baggers in
the SOUTH"
