SLASH RATES FOR
FERRYING CARS
AT CAPE CHARLES
[COntiHued from First Pags]

Portsmouth Chamber of Com
merce; E. C. Totten, Executive Sec
retary of the Del-Mar-Va Associa
tion and C. NJ. Mark, Secretary o
the Chamber of Commerce at New
port News, for the purpose of sub
mitting a proposal to the Pennsyl
vania Railroad and empowered tC
act if the reduction submitted proved
satisfactory. 1t was on this basis
that the $4.O0, $500 and $500 rate
was privately agreed upon by the
committee.
When the matter before the Com
mission opposition was registered
by a representative of Cape Charles
although the Del-Mar-Va Associa-
ton had been authorized to repre-
sent the Eastern Shore Counties of
Virginia as well as the Salisbury
Wicomico Chamber of Commerce
which had also been active in seek
ing reduction. The opposition reg
istered is said to have caused a de-
lay in the decision by the Commits
sion.
According to the Del-Mar-Va
Eastern Shore Association the re-
duction will unquestionably provide
one of the greatest benefits that the
Peninsula has ever experienced. 1t
means, it is said at Association
headquarters, that the only OBJ
stacle in the way of far North to
far South tourist traffic is practi-
cally removed. The Del-Mar-Va
Trail is presented by the Associa-
ton as being the logical route be-
tween the far North and South ow-
ing to it reducing milage between
New York and Miami approximately
226 miles as well as providing a
saving in time of about five hours.
These two features are pointed out
in addition to the fact that the con-
gested traffic in several large cen
ters will be avoided by passing thru
the peninsula.
Mr.. Totten, at the Association
headquarters, said that this is one
of the major projects which the As
sociation has been striving for and
that practically every community on
the Peninsula has among its busi-
ness leaders men, who because of
their affiliation with the Association
and their fine support have made
this possible. He calls attention to
the work under way by two organ
izations of national prominence who
are devoting their efforts toward
popularizing the Del-Mar-Va Trail
and predicts an increase in tourist
traffic which within a comparatively
short time should equal the pres
ent tourist traffic industry on the
Peninsula which, during the 1880
season, can be shown to have ex-
ceeded $7,5OO,00O, with figures most
based.

BOYS BURNING
GRASS START
SERIOUS BLAZE
[C0ntinaed from First Paqel

lCOHItHhed from FHp FuyeI
spread across the street where il
burned the two houses and store
owned by John S. Henry, and the
home owned by Mrs Bertha Ellis
Practically all of the contents OF
these houses being also destroyed.
On account OF the wind which was
blowing from the northeast at the
time, the fire spread to several
buildings farther south on West
street. The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. N. Smith was the next to be burn
ed and then the flames spread to
James Ellis home, both of which
were quickly burned to the ground
with their entire contents. The blaze
was kept from spreading south on
the west side of the street on ac-
count of the slate roof on DR.. ]. Ros-
coe Elliott's house, but the fire on
that side became so intense that the
Elliott home was finally ignited and
was gutted by flames in addition to
being badly damaged by smoke and
water. A large part of his medical
supplies and equipment, and most of
their clothing and valuable pieces of
furniture and equipment although
removed before the building was
damaged. Sparks from the burning
buildings fired the sweet potato stor-
age house owned by Charles A.
Hastings and burned it to the
ground The house was empty at
the time of the fire.
The homes of Charles A. Hastings,
Harvey Phillips, Ralph Phillips, and
A. w. Robinson were badly damaged
when small fires started on the
roofs. Most of the furniture and
personal goods in the first three
were removed but considerable dam
age was done by water. Several
other houses along the street caught
fire but the flames were checked be-
fore they were destroyed.
No less than ten fire engines re-
sponded to the general call for help.
Salisbury and Sharptown, Nd, Del
mar, Seaford, Bridgeville, George
town and Millsboro being among
those that responded. The blaze
started about $3.50 and after about
a half hour of fighting the conflagra-
ton, the water supply ran low, and
two lines were run to the river,
distance of nearly half mile. Ex-
cellent work was given by all of the
companies. and it was only through
good management and hard work
that the blaze was checked before it
could sweep the entire street. The
blaze was we'll under control at 5
o'clock.
Mrs. Ralph Hastings had been sick
in bed for several days when the
fire started and although her house
was not burned it was in the center
of several others that were destroy
ed and it caught fire several times. |
In addition to their other losses, Mr.. |
and Mrs. Shipley had a quantity OF |
money hidden in the attic of the |
house, all of which was burned along
with all their clothing and personal
goods.
This was the second fire to start
on the ball park last week, as on
morning the club house and
a part of the fence was burned.
The entire loss of property is esti-
mated to be somewhere between
$50, 900 and $4,000.

MOVIE ANNOUNCEMENTS

1t is now about as rare a thing to
see a man sitting in a company
boasting at length about what he is
going to do, and how good he is go
ing to be, as it is to hear a guest
criticize the dinner his host offers
him. Among people of taste and cul-
ture such things are no longer done
at all. All civilized humanity has
long grown above that sort of vul-
garity.
But there is one class of people
who are more than a thousand years
behind the age in this respect. A
talking movie actor telling of COM
ing picture in which he figures can
scarcely find enough superlatives to
describe what a wonderful show he
and his fellow-artists have pro-
duced-one that will knock them off
their seats, curl up their spines, send
them into ecstasies and all that sort
of stuff. 1t is worse than childish
and. foolish-it is tiresome.-The
Pathfinder.

PAYS BUYERS TOO

You are going to buy many new
things within the next ninety days
but the kind of buy you make will
depend on how well posted you are
on the various places to buy it. The
way to be posted is to know all
there is to know about both. There
fore common sense and good busi-
you may get your moneys worth"
You do not have to go out of your
home, your office, or your place OF
business to get the best possible in
formation. You can learn all there
is to know about everything offered
for sale, if you will just read news
paper advertising.
Many people get the wrong idea
of advertising. There are dozens of
definitions; but regardless of any of
them, advertising is to you an op-
portunity to study, learn ,and get
posted on the things for which you
are in the market. 1t used to be
Read the ads and get stung;" now
adays it is Fail to read the ads
and buy blindfolded."
A fraud can misrepresent when
he talks to you, but he doesn't dare
lie in a newspaper-that is why a
lot of shysters don't advertise in
good newspapers. There are some
good concerns who don't advertise,
but that is no sign that they are
frauds-it is just a sign that they
are old-fashioned and behind the
times.
If concern does not invite you
to do business with them, give you
a reason why you should do busi-
ness with them, and keep doing
both until you become a customer
at least once-if they fail to do this,
then they have no reason or right
to complain if you do not patrOnize
them.
Advertising pays and the fellow
that it pays is you. That's not
"bunk" facts. The only bunk"
about it is the rock on which many
a good business ship has been
wrecked. Good advertising informs
you, keeps you posted on market
values, conditions, prices, etc., on
all those things which you must
buy and those things you would
like to buy, and some day you will
buy.
Read the advertising in The Mil
ford Chronicle and keep up to date
pay no attention to this advertis-
ing, and you will get behind. The
truth of the matter is that in any
good newspaper there is more valu-
able reading in good advertisements
than in tile news cOlumns-in fact, |
The advertising columns are the real
news columns.
Your newspaper-this newspaper |
The Milford Chronicles the cat

sale by the merchants of Milford. |
Consider it as such. Read and study .
hose columns on each page that
ell what you may buy and where
ind how you may buy it-and re-
member, that when you do this you
ire not doing the paper or the mer-
,hants any favor-you are doing
a good turn, and proving
a wise business man.
