large amount Of ground put in strswber-
ries last year by Lewes farmers the rail-
road has made arrangements TO furnish
refrigerator cars and bring the berries TO
Georgetown behind the carly morning
passenger train, so that they can meet
the wilmington freight here and be trans

cities during the summer.

business and the big profits the railroad
company Is running its own line of cars

WARNING IS NEEDED
Autoists No Longer Speeding
Through Glen Miller
Park.
ONLY A FEW WOLAT0RS

The warning issued by Septerinten-
dent klopp ut Glen Miller several
weeks ago that automobilists should
not exceed speed OF six miles an
hour while running through the Glen,
is having its effect il is said. Signs
have been tackled up in the most con-
spicnous places warning the drivers
to keep down the speed of their cars
or suffer the consequences. However
for the past two or three nights sew
eral automobiles have passed through
the park leaving only streak and
odor of gasoline TO tell of their pres
ence. The numbers whizzed by SO
fast that Superintendent Klopp's head
is swimming Yet and all he could see
was a conglomeration of blurred mass
that looked like Chinese lingo. MIR.
klopp asserts that such action on the
part of automobilists will not be toler-
ated and in case the violators Of the
law are caught they will be dealt with
severely. In view of the numerous
curves and the fact that there are
no sidewalks and pedestrians are fore
ed to use the driveways, the reckless
driving is exceedingly dangerous. not
only to the occupants Of the automo-
biles themselves but to persons also
who may be walking through the Glen.

Rare Addition TO The Museum:
Specimen of the Chinese Tdkin

Chuew in December, 1908. secured
several specimens of the Chinese TAX
in.
The animal has an interesting his
tory, and there has been much con-
troversy about the growth and shape
of its horns in the male and female.
1t has been suggested that the arctic
and American muskox is a near rela-
tive, inasmuch as this animal, though
restricted to the arctic regions of the
western hemisphere, formerly spread
over northern Asia. Thus from a geo.
graphical point of view there seems to
be no reason to dispute the relation
between the takin and the muskox.
AS regards the habits of the takin, it
lives at high elevation and associates
in herds.
From letter written by the late J..
w. Brooke few weeks before his
death the takin ruminates at an ele-
walton of 10000 feet above sea level,
in precipitous mountains clothed with
dense jungle of bamboo. 1t is an
animal that it is difficult for sports
men to track. 1t comes to the lower
grounds for a brief period, as the
snow is rapidly thawed by southerly
winds from the plains, and as soon as
the thickness of the snowy mantle is
diminished goes back to it's alpine
home, so the sportsman must be ION
the job to get shot at takin.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The mounted
specimen of the takin just added to
the United States National Museum
is regarded as perhaps the rarest
species of the animal kingdom now
known to science. The first living
specimen, fine young bull of the
Bhutan representative of those cur
iOus ruminants, is now the center of
attraction in the zoo in Regents Park,
London. 1t is the first living speci-
men of it's kind ever seen in Europe.
The name is of Chinese origin, and
is pronounced tarkin, and in scien-
tific sense means Ox-gazelle, or OK
antelope, in allusion to the bovine
form of the horns.
Species of this animal became
know to naturalists in 1850 by a Brit
ish resident of Khatamandu, where
specimens were brought down from
the Mishmi country, a section Of
northern Assam, absolutely impene-
trable to Europeans on account of the
hostile character of the natives.
With the exception of an occasional
pair of horns brought into British ter
ritory nothing was known of the takin
until the French missionary, Pere Da-
vid, in northwestern China, sent some
skins to Paris in the early seventies.

ISSUES A CHALLENGE
Democratic Candidate Wants
To Meet Mayor in Joint
Debate.
STIRS UP REPUBLICANS

Louisville, KY, Sept. CIV. o. Head,
democratic candidate for mayor, ex-
ploded a bomb in the camp of Louis
vile republicans when he forwarded
an official communication to Mayor
James F. Grinstead, challenging him
to meet him in joint debate.
Mr.. Head recites the fact that it is
due the people to know what they are
voting for, and why. and states that
these issues may be presented more
forcibly to all if joint debates are held.
While Mr.. Head is a business citi-
zen, who has had few occasions to
make public addresses, he is said to be
speaker of unusual force, and local
republicans look askance upon the pro-
ject of the republican mayor tackling
Head in debate.
While Mayor Grinstead will make
no statement of his acceptance or re-
fusal, it is believed that he will re-
spectfully decline to engage in clash
with the democratic nominee.
Mr.. Heads letter challenge to the
mayor is as follows:
MY Dear Sir: In order that the is
sues of this campaign may be clearly
defined before the voters of the city OF
Louisville. and that the record of your
administration, which you are asking
the people to indorse, may be proper.
ly and intelligently presented before
the public. request that you meet me
in joint debate at such times and such
places in this city as may be mutually
agreeable.
II suggest that at least one joint de-
bate be held in each ward of the cit::-
beginning as soon as convenient te
you. Awaiting the favor of your re
ply, have the honor to be very truly
yours, W. O. HEAD"

contest, but in the last of the sixth in
ming two or three costly errors were
made on the short line and on third
base that seemingly took from Eaton's
team all the earnestness and vim that
has always been shown in former con-
tests. From this time until the close
of the game Somerville did the hit

ing up the tallies.
