MINSTRELS COMING.

"The minstrel show was built up
from the historic first part the
famed semi-circle, with bones and
tamborine at the ends" says George
Primrose, the veteran minstrel star,
who is now appearing with his old
partner, Lew Dockstader, in a big
spectacular revival Of old time min
strelsy, which appears at the Play
house. afternoon and night on April
%. This was found in the first
real minstrel show, and has con-
tinued down to the present day, al
though instead of two END mem we
now have ten. But the real old-time
company had but one bones and one
Sambo, or Snow, as he was some
times addressed by the interlocutor

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, April 13.-The prac-
tice of residents of lower Delaware
going to nearby stations in Mary
land to get shipments of liquor will
soon be a memory.
The Maryland law, it is declared,
will force Delawareans accustomed
to obtaining wet" goods in Maryland
towns to look elsewhere. Bishop, Md,
a town of less than 300 inhabitants
and situated less than 200 feet across
the Delaware-M Maryland boundary
line, was the point of consignment
for bottled goods ordered by Della
wareans. On Saturdays there is a
rush in that direction.
The train, upon leaving Harring-
ton, is crowded with men, and ad-
ditonal passengers are picked up
at each station on the way to Bishop.
There is a layover of about an hour
in Bishop, before the northbound
train arrives. Express clerks spend
a busy hour In receiving payment
for shipment of the goods and de-
liverlng the packages to the con-
signees.
The Maryland law, which becomes
effective May /, puts the nine coun-
ties on the eastern shore In the same
dry" category with Kent and Sussex
counties in this State.
The nearest wet" points will be

ATLANTA, Ga--Nearly thous-
and delegates to the convention of
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union arrived in Atlanta only to firG
that the homes promised them by
local committees were not ready, and
many were forced to go to hotels
who had counted on free entertain
ment. Mrs. T. E. Patterson, presi-
dent of the state organization, puts
the blame squarely on the evangeli-
cal ministers, association of Atlanta,
which promised to supply homes for
the delegates. Fully five hundred
homes were needed and only 200
were provided. Besides this $4,000
in cash was to be raised and only
half that amount was forthcoming.
The convention brought women
from all over the country.

West Branch, Y. NJ. c. A.
"By a canvas of a meeting of emf

snakes and gold fish were voted the
only safe and sanitary kinds of pets
to have around the house. The intel
ligent and moral character and af-
fectionate disposition of many of the
branches of the snake tribe are too
little understood. Snakes have been
slandered in song and story ever

On the w. F. Hughes farm, eight
miles east of Florala, is being har-
vested a monster crop of chufas. EN-
ory Jones, who cultivated the farm
this year, planted thirty acres in the
little grass nuts, which are used
principally for fattening hogs. 1t is
said that one acre of chufas will fat
ten ten head of hogs, which will do
their own gathering, as the hogs are
turned on the chufa field and root up
the grass and eat the rich nuts from
the grass.
The yield on these thirty acres
must be something wonderful. 1t
has been estimated that the yield per
acre will be 1872 bushels, and they in
variably retail for one dollar per
peck. At four dollars per bushel 1t
may be easily seen that $448 per
acre may be realized; taking the

the sum of $14,640 is reached. Now
what is the use to raise cotton?
This crop was planted July 6, after
other crops were laid by, and matur-
ed the latter part of October. The
cost of gathering, said Mr.. Hughes,
is 121a cents per bushel, and it is
possible for a man to gather 10 bush
els per day. The fertilizer used on
this crop was six hundred pounds OF
guano to the acre, late planting re-

By way of experiment Mr.. Hughes
fed his horse some cured chufa hay
after the horse had eaten meal, and

while the family was at supper, is
thought to have been the work OF
some demented fre-bug. Considera-
