GRANDCHILDREN A-PLENTY

Editor of THE EVENING JoURNALs
1t seems funny sometimes how things
pan out. Some eight years ago stranger
came into my office and said he had a
house to sell and effected a sale. When
we came to pass the title papers, there
was lot of men and women to sign the
deed and receive their share OF the pro-
ceeds. The transaction passed out OF
my mind. A few days ago, a stranger
told me he had little farm to sell at
Twin oaks and that l had sold a house
for him some years ago. L found he
was the same man l had sold the house
for. He asked me IL / would go up
and look at the farm. When I arrived at
the farm at Twin oaks, they invited
me to take a seat on the front porch
while they called one OF the sons. In
conversation with the lady OF the house
and the owner OF the farm ] learned
that the lady had 70 grandchildren and
that she had reared 16 children u OF
whom are now living. Alexander Guth-
rie married Susan whitley in october.
1874. at IS years of age and had 10
children. One OF these now has 13 chill
dren, another. and another s.
Mr.. Guthrie was born and raised near
Wilmington, was farmer and died in
1894 at IS. Mrs. Guthrie was born in
England. She came 10 this country
when she was four years old. She Is
now 50, and is well preserved. It cer-
tainly can not be saiS Of Alexander
Guthrie and Susan whitley that they liv-
ed for naught, but that they served their
country well. Seven sons and their faith
er have all voted at one time. That visit
to a little farm proved very interesting
to me, and when the old lady began to
tell her interesting story asked her for

SIGNS OF REvIvING INDUSTRY.

II HERE are many indications of returning
h prosperity, and if the opinions Of the men
who should know are to be taken into account,
we Shall have a great revival of industry during
the coming autumn.
There is not a single cloud on the horizon.
The crops are large, the tariff has been settled,
the manufacturers are getting busy, and soon
everything will be humming if the prophets are
not wrong.
The furniture trade tells the story Of better
times. Grand Rapids, Mich, is the furniture
center of the country, and reports from there
state that orders already are eighty per cent of
what they were during the high tide of prosperity
several years ago. When the returns are all in,
it is expected that the volume of business at
Grand Rapids will be fully as large as in 1907.
Other trade reports tell similar story
But, perhaps as good indication as any IS
the statement Of the postofhce department, which
shows the improvement over last year and the
steady gains that are being made.
With two exceptions the gross receipts for
July Of fifty of the largest postofices in the United
States show an increase over July, 1908. The
total receipts were S7,24o628, a net increase of
S5S4,SS8. The two Offices which showed de-
cline in receipts were ST. Louis and Scranton, Pa
The receipts for New York were $I,4oo,5I3,
an increase of S122o84 over July, 1908. Receipts
for Brooklyn were $I73,276, an increase of Sill
o3o Postal receipts of the fifty largest Offices
throughout the country usually reflect the con-
dition of business. AS this is accepted generally
the gross postal receipts for the month just closed
show that business has improved in every part OF
the country.
The per cent of increase by the fifty largest
Offices in the country reached S7S over July,
1903
Wilmington, therefore, should prepare to take
advantage of the returning good times, for this
city should share in the revival.

Progress in Aviation.

Chicago Tribune.
The significance Of the progress in
aviation is not to be found so much
in the flight OF Bleriot across the
English channel. in the successful tests
of the Wright machine. or in the forth
coming contests at Rheims. as il is in
the less conspicuous events.
A New York firm advertises its abil-
ity TO supply aeroplanes to order in
forty eight days. Another New York
firm establishes an aerial garaga- on
the roof of a building. A Dayton man
buys a balloon as a present for his
IS year old daughter. These and other
instances, making due allowance for
the element Of fiction. indicate a grow
ing belief in the general utility of aero
planes and dirigible balloons and a
growing conviction that they are adapt
able for other than military purposes
The military idea has been dominant
in all thus far attempted in aviation
but now the Wright brothers, the most
conservative OF the successful aviators
suggest the use of the aeroplane in
carrying mails and men of wealth are
contemplating the possible use of the
air as an exciting recreation.
The most enthusiastic OF the advo-
Gates Of aviation are getting ahead oi
the development of the science. bui
their convictions are interesting and
may in time be justified.

KEEPING MUM
ABOUT PINCHOT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-The acute
ness OF the Pinchot- -Ballinger contro-
versy manifests itself here in the capt.
tol city most strikingly by a dead si-
ience at the interior department and
a suppressed but nevertheless all-per-
vading enthusiasm at the forest SER
vice.
Assistant Secretary Pierce is back
again at the helm as acting secretary
of the interior. He doesn't care TO
discuss the charges Of maladministra-
tion made against his chief by Chief
Forester Pinchot. Acting Commis-
sioner Schwartz OF the general land
Office has the same aversion. Mean
while Pinchot swings the big stick
throughout the west and breathes de-
fiance.
An effort was made by a represen-
tative of the United Press to review
the entire record at the land Office
in the much mooted filing OF 1883
acres at the Bozeman land office, Mon
tana. by President Ramsey of the Riv-
erside Land and Livestock Co. II was
this filing that Pinchot originally de-
clared was in the interest Of the power
trust. This statement was specifically
denied i'm an official statement by act
ing Commissioner Schwartz several
days ago.
An attempt to have this record ex-
amined by a land lawyer was disap-
proved by the interior department Of
/ ficials. "The whole subject" said an
official. 'is threadbare. II is our pol
/ icy to let the matter drop, notwith-
standing the counter statement which
emanated from the west that this fil-
/ ing was nevertheless and notwithstand-
I ing in the interest Of the so-called
water power trust. The public has all
