Deaths From Trespassing

James McCrea, President of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, has written letter
to magazine calling attention to the
dangers of trespassng. ne said:
1t is horrible to me to think or the
number of trespassers that are killed
or injured on the lines of the railroads.
simply because they pay no attention to
the laws on the subject. On the Penn
sylvania System alone, in the last ten
years there were S,523 trespassers killed,
and $3.50 injured. The danger to the
public due to the custom of carrying
concealed explosives on passenger trains
and trolley cars is also very great. To
what extent this practice is INDUCED in
of course, we cannot tell, but We know
that 1t is done much more than is real
lied by the public. This is particularly
true as to foreigners engaged in mining
operations of various kinds"
Mr.. McCrea said attention should be
called to the danger of allowing children
to walk on railroad rights of way. He
also pointed out the need for explaining
the law and regulations in reference to
carrying explosives on passenger trains
and trolley cars, or placing them in
trunks or hand bags.

JAMES H. HUGHES FOR SENATOR.
Communicated ]

The entry of James H. Huges into the
Delaware senatorial race brings into the
lime-light again one of brightest stars in
the galaxy of Delaware politics. He has
fought long and hard for Democratic
principles; his back the enemy has never
seen but his breast is covered with the
scars of many conflicts.
Honest, sincere and capable, he should
appeal strongly to all good loyal Demo
cratsin Delaware. He has never appear
ed in the role of a political boss and has
never forced upon the Democratic Party
the nomination of a man who was object
ionable to the rank and file of that party,
as one Senatorialsaspirant did in the last
compaign. In fact, the work he did in
this particular campaign was of an edu-
cational character, i. E., the distribution
of campaign literature and the Orgrniza-
ton of First Voters Club.
His election to the United States Sen.
ate would be well received by most Demo
Gratis and would add lustre to the Demo
cratic Party of Delaware. Mr.. Hughes is
one of the most prominent and popular
lawyers in the State for: None know
him, but to love him nor name him, but
to praise him -

TOP PRICES FOR DURUM WHEAT,

In a conversation had with Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Agriculture
several days ago, he called attention to
the fact that the market prices for durum
wheat grown in this country are higher
than ever before.
1t will be remembered that durum or
macaroni wheat was introduced to this
country by the Secretary of Agriculture
in 1898. It came from the dry regions OF
southeastern Russia and was introduced
as a crop probably adapted to successful
cultivation on the semiarid plains of the
west. From the point of view of the dry
land farmer, the crop proved to be all
that was claimed for it by the Federal
Department
The total acreage in this country has
advanced rapidly until two or three mil
lion acres are grown annually. Exact
act figures on production are difficult to
give because complete statistics on this
crop separate from the other classes of
wheat have been taken but once, namely
in 1899. The States of North Dakota,
South Dakota and Minnesota are the
leading producers, while Nebraska, Kan
sas, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana
plant smaller areas.
When this wheat first began to appear
on the market, a considerable prejudice
against it developed on the part of the
milling trade and the price paid for it was
as much as IS cents a bushel lower than
for other wheat of similar quality. This
difference in price has been gradually de-
creasing until the last three or four weeks
highest cash prices paid daily for durum
wheat on the Duluth and Minneapolis
markets have been equal to or as much
as IS to Is cents in advance of those paid
for No, l Northern, which is the standard
and usually the highest priced wheat on
these markets.
The present comparatively high prices
of the durum wheat are in spite of nor -
NAL production of about 90 billion bus
hels. It is probable that q constantly
use Of the durum -four in the
making of bread, either alone or in COM
bination with common wheat -four. to-
eether with the inability of the Mediter-
ranean markets to obtain durum wheats
from Russia and the Balkan States at
present, are responsible for the record
prices.

This NUISANCE MUST Be ABATtD.

4 letter received from a citizen of
North Milford calls attention to a nui-
Hance which the Board of Health must
cause 60 be removed from the town
limits The writer states the case as
follows
AT the end of the lot on which is a
successful Touring mill, and almost in
front Of the front doors of two citizens,
is a collection of filth which has been
gathered from the privies in various
parts of Milford At times the stencil
from this pile is particularly obnoxious
TO the people living within a block of
the nuisance. and on moist nights when
the wind is from the east or south. this
stencil is very obnoxious to the peace
and comfort Of citizens, and from peO-
pie reaching Milford from the North,
or from the Frederick road.
After beingin ftices and other places
where tobacco is smoked. although | do
not use tobacco myself, when | return
home, my wife frequently remarks that
ny clothing is saturated with the fumes
of tobacco; 80. if after walking several
squares in the open air my clothing
carries sufficient tobacco smoke to affect
the rooms Of the home. then how much
more nOxiOus is this pile of privy refuse,
the air which enters our homes and af-
fects the very air we would have as
pure as possible out of doors. Then
again this flour mill is manufacturing
lie stsF of life in the shape, which we
al use. almost over the nuisance, and it
must be more or less affected thereby.
The town prohibits splitting on the
sidewalks, and the curing of pea hay in
the limits of the town. The hay is ban
ned because of its odor while curing,
which is nothing more than the curing
process of any hay or other coarse food
undergOes while drying, but these things
are nothing in comparison of the fly
breeding heaps which are gathered from
the privies and are oiled up in the town
limits for weeks at time. | have been !
3 customer of this particular mill for /
years, and have thought what howl /
the proprietor would make if a dead |
horse were permitted to remain next |
door to him for even one week, much |
loss for months. This case is of long |
standing, and it is often excused by lay |
ing the scent upon the fsh-scrap at the /
phosphate factories, but it must be re-
moved. even though the offenders be |
compelled TO wheel the excrement from
the privies without a sponge under their
uOses 1t looks like a case of gaging at
= 6zzel, and wallowing in the refuse of
the privies.
III one-tenth of this refuse were to
lay at the mouth of a sewer, the peo-
people would have cOnniption fits until
the trouble was removed"
The writer of the letter is certainly
within bounds in making the criticisms
Of this nuisance, and certainly the peo-
pie Of Milford will at once compel the
conditions which are pointed out by the
Eiritsr, to be changed.

It IS not given to many pastors
TO serve one church for third Of a
century, and at the end of that
period still remain forceful, strong
and Jealous in the work for chris
tianity and the uplift of the world,
yet this is exactly what the pastor
ship of Rev. H. L. Bunstein of the
First Presbyterian Church of Mil
ford, has placed upon the pages OF
the history of his life. Under his
administration the church has grown
from a struggling life into a vigor-
Gus, purposeful outstanding in
fluence for good, and his labors to
come through the continued years,
are the better for having had the
full ripening experience of a sue
cessful pastorate. For thirty-two
years this man has served as pastor
to those who have loved and respect
ed his teachings and his labors for
the uplift of the people. There may
have been, and undoubtedly was,
differences of opinion between the
pastor and the people at times, but
happily they have all been not of
fundamental character. and nothing
but the hghestregards and pleasure
exists at the end of a third ofa cen
tury between congregation and pas
tor. May both have cause for con-
tinued pleasure in a prolonged asso-
citation.

happy one for the children of the Metho-
