Saturday night he took six Of them
into custody, none Of them more than
10 years Of age. officer Farra says the
boys frequent saloons and other places
in violation of the Juvenile law. and he
claims in reality they are begging. in
stead of selling PAPERS. He has found
instances of parents sending their
small children into the streets to
arouse sympathy and obtain money.
Mr.. Farra took the children to their
homes and notified their parents that
they must not allow them out after
1890 o'clock. He believes this is long
enough for them to stay out.
officer Farra also is waging war on
boys from to IL years of age who
smoke cigarettes, and he has notified

MANY CHESTNUTS
WORRY FARMERS

Brandywine hundred farmers are
having considerable trouble with
chestnut hunters at present Chest
nut trees in this hundred are very
prolific this year and show no sign
Of any blight Farmers gather about
two bushels to a tree and as the pop
ular nuts sell I'm market from 10 to
Is cents a quart IL can be seen that
a good tree nets the grower from
s6.4O to SO.
The trouble with people who go
chestnut hunting, said a Claymont
farmer today, is that they break the
bows Of the trees. They go from field
to field and when they take down the
fence bars they do not put them up
again. Chestnut trees In many in
stances are along corn fields and when
the city folks cross the pasture fields
they do not replace the bars and as
a consequence the cattle go into the
corn field and do more damage. The
chestnut crop in Brandywine hundred
was never better than at tn present
time, but for our own protection we
have been Obliged TO post notices
warning all trespassers that they
will be arrested.
Hazel nuts. walnuts and hictory
nuts are plentiful The frost last
night will help to open the chestnut
burs. The chestnuts in market this
year are larger and better than in
former years.

sunk an Austrian ship Little
credence is placed here in either re-

Dispatches from Malta state that
fishermen who have arrived from
Tripoli say the town was practically
unharmed by the bomhardment and
that the Italian gunners fired so
wildly that most of their shots passed
over the forts and buried themselves
harmlessly in the sand. The same
witnesses assert that the only casual
tie were three people killed while
watching the bombardment. The
fishermen add that the only Turks
who had any desire to fight were a
few artillerymen who had never fir
ed the ancient guns in the fort and
wanted to do so out Of curiosity.
