An officer of the company has made the statement that the $7,000 would be paid to the sorrowing benefi ciary forthwith. , (toldshoro Aryitt: Yesterday (Monday) afternoon about C o'clock, Mr. Sam Stevens went to the stables of Mr. Jno.

East Indian industry, have been m progress for years, but they have only recently reached a stage where this product can be obtained cheaply enough to compete with the old article commercially. There was a time when; in central Germany, a large quantity of indigo was manu factured from a home grown plant. But for some reason the indigo plant of East India yielded a much larger proportion of dye than this one, and COMMERCIAL. WILMINGTON MARKET. Storing: Vegetables. For cabbages and potatoes there Is no necessity of digging a trench. A place can be cleared off In the surface of the ground 8 or 4 feet wide and as long as may be needed.

It now looks as if East India were about to expe rience a similar fate. At the present time her indigo industry yields her several millions of dollars. She fur nishes the calico printers of the whole world with dye stuff. Chemistry has found it a much easier task to take a substance apart than to put it together again. Count less essences and extracts have been analyzed, and their exact composi tion learned. Careful lists have been made, showing the precise propor tion in which the atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen go together in these compounds. But when the chemist attempts to build up one of these substances from its elements he often discovers that they won't combine. Already several perfumes of flowers have been exactly imitat ed by this method, and 30 years ago, after 45 years of experiment, a cheap way of getting the coloring princi ple of madder, a beautiful red dye, out of coal tar was found. Since that time it has not been profitable to raise the madder plaut. The possi bility of man's putting together tho ingredients which nature employs in making the essential part of indigo, and in precisely the same propor tions, was demonstrated a long time ago. And "synthetic chemistry" has since been studying the problem of cheapening the procees, so that it might be placed on a commercial basis. A German house, the Badische Anitin and Soda Fabrik, of Lud-wigshafen-on the Rhine, has placed on the market an almost pure indigo blue at a prico so very near that of tho East Indian article that a for midable competition is at last threat ened. It should be observed that the indigo plant yields, in addition to the blue principle (indigo tin) a red dye. The manufacturing chemists have thus far got only the blue dye. More over, it is alleged that the system of treating the East Indian plant now in vogue does not extract all of ci ther principle which exists there. Improved methods of manufacture good drainage on the outside. STAB OFFICE, May 25. SPIRITS TTJRPENTINE.r-rNothing doing at opening.

Th- SIGSIFICAST FACTS press dispatches published jester-la contained several items from Madrid which, taken ev rtcl v. may not amount to much, but taken collectiTcIy (on the assumption tht they are genuine!, may amount to a go."! leal. 1 he tirst is the item from lcod.ug Madrid pajvr noticin; ' an nnetp'air.ed feeling of despond rri'T." which it say must le due to "fear of a prolongation of the war.' It appears from this that with all the efforts of tho wr managers and war party to stimulate mthusio-sra thi result is "a fes-lmg of despondency." which is as eojiilv .-counll for as falling off a log. The war managers have been bun comg the Sjanih j-sple with rep resentations that the Americans were a contemptible fo. and with Ixta.sting of what the S(unish ships and ."anisri soldiers would do when they met the craven "Yankees." All this boosting has panned out in the demolition of a Spanish fleet at Tfoml. the . of the Philippine. nd th- .bulging by another terrible fleet from which sn-at thing were pro mis.nl. The sum total of the' great things was the successful dig;ng i far of the American war ships, which have lrn scouring the . for that mighty fleet. This achievement wo.s so much almirel that a Spanish tatt-sman in the Cor tes thought Admiral ("crvcra was entitled to vote of thanks for his successful dodging, and perhaps he was. for if it hadn't been for the di!ging Spain would now t minus one more fleet. Add to this the blockade of (.'aba, the bombardment of ome of it town, the bombard ment of the fort at San Juan, while that fleet wa dodging, and then wher is th cause to wonder that there is a feeling of "!esp4"ndcncy " in Madrid.
