PATRICE DUFFY.
There remains but little to be
added to the particulars of the death
of Major P. F. Duffy, as printed on!
the local page of the Stab to-day,
except to express onr profound sor
row at the, sudden taking off of one
who had been our friend and editor
ial associate some fourteen years.
How strange that this strongman,
of constitution so rigorous that he
had neyer. before yesterday lost a
single day through sickness from
his work on the Stab, should now
lie in the icy embrace of death.
Quiet and unassuming in manner,
Major Duffy sought not the applause
of m0n. Conscious of the fact that
duty led the way, how nobly and
conscientiously did he perform it.
He lived for his family not for
himself. A more devoted husband
and father never crossed the thres
hold of a happy home. A splendid
becanse a deserved tribute.
From his Irish ancestry Major!
Duffy inherited the gift of persua
sive oratory. He abandoned public
speaking many years since; but not
until he had made a reputation
equalled by few of our public men.
In two campaigns soon after the
close of our civil war he canvassed
the State for the Democratic party,
and aa far back as 1868 he delivered
a speech in the Opera House in this
city which was pronounced a master-!
piece of oratory by the thousand
Democrats who were entranced by
his eloquence.
To his friends his loss is a serious
blow; to his family it is irreparable.
Verily, the ways of the Almighty
are mysterious and past finding out
And "In the midst of life we are in
death."
A peculiar and to some people em
barrassing state of affairs has devel
oped from our occupation of the
Philippines. Quite a number of.
army officers and a larger number
of enlisted men contracted Filipino
marriages with some of the young
ana pretty native women, never
thinking that they would be heldj
valid in the mother country. But the
powers that be hold . otherwise,
and the officers and men will be com-
polled to receive and support their
native spouses, whether they like i
or not. The department is right. The
matrimonial bond is too sacred to be
handled in such a manner by an
American soldier or citizen, and
especially in our dealings with people
to whom we should: set an example
in morality. These gay Lotharios
have made their own beds, now let
them lie on them, whether they be
of feathers or stones.
It has been definitely settled that
residents of the United States shall
be officially designated as Ameri
cans, and our embassies abroad
shall be known as the "American
Embassy," instead of the "Embassy
of the United States," as heretofore.
To Secretary Hay belongs the credit
of drawing this fine distinction and
causing its recognition by the gov-
fimmflnfa nf t.Vin nt wnrlA Tf ?a aa
it should be. Residents of .the
jUnited States of Mexico are known
as Mexicans, those of the United
States of Colombia as Colombians,
and those of the United States of
Brazil as Brazilians. So why should
wc not be termed Americans ? Tis!
the proudest distinction that can bel
conferred upon a human being.
A contemporary very pertinently
remarks that reasonable men will ul
timately come to understand that
the destruction of capital incident
to the suspension of labor and the
closing down of plants in strikes
cannot make for the ultimate good
of either party contributing to the
general welfare. The union of em

take the place of civilization.
That postal ring at Washington
seems to be about the rottenest gang
of thieves that ever disgraced' the
government. The rascals should
be ferreted out and punished to the
extent of the law, regardless of the
effect it may have on any political
party. The people have a, right td
demand an honest administration of
the affairs of the department,' and
they will insist that.thifL. be done.
We want no screening of the guilty
because they have powerful political
backing. That but adda to the shame'

TERRIBLE STRAIN.
Wilmington People Undergo
the Pressure Every Day.
Many trades and lines of business
impose a terrible daily strain on the'
kidneys. They can't withstand it
forever. They become irritated and
inflamed, and the back warns you
Don't neglect it because its "only a

A well known Wilmington railroad
man tells how relief may be found.
W. G. Evans, engineer on the
Atlantic & Yadkin K. R., residing
at 307 North 4th St., says: "My
back has bothered me a good bit
right across the small of it, so bad
at times. 1 could scarcely run my
engine and the jarring affected -me
simply awful. 1 rubbed my back
with liniments, wore plasters and
took medicines, but it was the same
old story. Finally I learned about
Doan's Kidney rills and my wife
went up to Bellamy's drug store and
got a box. Tneir use relieved me
immediately. They are a good
remedy for the backhand kidneys

A Bit of Diplomacy.
An American from Texas got Into
trouble with a gendarme in the City of
Mexico during the Spanish-American
war, when foreign and local sentiment
was against the United States. The
offense consisted largely In the fact
that the stranger was an American, j
bat he landed in jail nevertheless. Not
wishing to see the Texan spend the
night In jail, his friends sallied forth
to obtain his release. First they visited
the home of the American ambassador
and found he was out of the city. Then
they went to the home of the English
minister and found ' him in bed. By
dint of insistence they succeeded in
getting into the house and were met on
the staircase by the minister himself,
arrayed in official pajamas. Carefully
disguising the fact that their impris-l
oned friend was an American, they, ap
pealed for assistance. "Ah," 6aidthe
minlstpr oanHonsIv. "vonr man In In
jail, is he? But tell me, is he a British
subject?" "Your excellency," said
General Agremonte, who acted as
spokesman, "the prisoner speaks Eng
lish perfectly." "Ah," said the minis
ter, "then the presumption is in his
favor!" Half an hour later, thankavto
the personal intervention of the Brit
ish minister, the Texan was released
from the Mexican jail.
Tbe Tune Waa Familiar.
An Interesting anecdote is told of the!
old tune to which a well known song I
Is now sung. The story runs that when
the army of the first Napoleon wasln
Egypt In 1799 the camp for awhile
was near the pyramids. One afternoon I
about sunset the band was, playing
te natives of the desert hadicoUe
and were listening to the music.
Ing unusual happened until the band I
struck up a tune which ,we,nowlie
under the name of "We WonJt I
Home Till Morning." Instantly tSerel
were the wildest demonstration a. omoy I
among the Bedouins. They, embraced I
each other and shouted and dance&vln I
the delirium of their pleasure. The rea-1
son was that they were llstenhigtalthe I

pie. The tune had been taken to33a-l

tury and had lived separately In 'both I

RAISE GOOD TURKEYS.
tf Pay to Send to Market In Good
Condition First Claaa Blrda.
But few have any conception, of the
number of fowls consumed in a large
dty during Thanksgiving and Christ
mas weeks. For Thanksgiving week
there were sold in New York city over
825,000 turkeys. In former years there
has been sold a fourth more than this,
and as many as 425,000 have been sold
in one week, according to the New
York Herald. This season turkeys have
been scarce, not well finished and hign
In price. This is the explanation for
the falling off In sales. Last year tur
keys sold at from 4 to 5 cents per
pound low.er in price than' this year.
The same Is true of chickens, ducks
and geese, and even guinea fowls sell
higher than ever before. All this should
prove of advantage to the grower.
The day has about gone by for low
Drices for poultry and eggs. All that
Is needed now Is for us to have good
quality In our poultry and eggs for
market, and they wiil sell well. Now
Is the time to begin to plan for having
better than ever before. Pull away
from old time methods of poor quality
market poultry and work to have the
very best. For example, turkeys sold
in the New York market all the way
from 10 cents per pound to 28 and 30
cents per pound. Now, it did not cost
one cent more per pound to grow the
higher priced ones than the cheaper
ones, it is smipiy a question oi care
and feeding. Those who feed properly
and well have the finer quality and
the greater size or weight, while those
who do not feed properly and well
toave the lesser weight and the lower
price. Quality controls the market to
a greater extent than is generally sup-
rwsed.
It Is all very well to allow the grow
ing turkeys to hunt for bugs and grass
hoppers so long as they are plentiful,
but so soon as this kind of food dwhr
dies we mnst supply its place with otb
er food as good, for two reasons to
give them a full food supply and to
prevent them from walking the flesh
from their bodies going about In an
aimless way in search of food they
will not find. Just as soon as the cool
ar cold nights begin ta lessen the sup
ply of wild food of all kinds then we
must feed the stronger. Always see
to It that they have all the good, whole
some food they will eat at all times.
That Is the way to crow turkeys. If
Ithere are not plenty of bugs, worms,
oxasshoDDers. berries and nuts for
them, give them all the corn they will
eat every night and also a good, strong
teed of It in the morning.
Tbe Breeding; Season.
At this time of the year everybody
who is anybody at all with chickens ia
planning for the breeding season. This
is the first and most important step in
breeding poultry, and the more serious
ly you look it In the face the easier will
the problem be solved. It is not a time
for too much speculation; neither is it a
time when unnecessary risks should be
courted. The safest and best plan is to
select the cream of breeders at your
disposal and condition them in the best
possible manner. Spare nothing in at
tendance and watch earefully alter
them, for it is first tbe breeders and
then the chicks. Good, active and ener
getic breeding birds are ovhat you
should select and avoid the overcrowd
ing of the breeding pens. It Is an un
disputed fact that fewer birds will
produce In the long run more and better
birds than if twice the number were
kept in the same pens. Look well into
the conditions and plan everything ac
cordingly. The mistakes you made last
year should be avoided this, and to do
this you must ever be on the alert-
Feather.
A Game-Gninea Croaa.
T.-H. Skidmore, living near Bairds-
town, Tex., is the possessor of a queer
brood of hybrid fowls. He had a game
rooster and two guinea hens that
mated. One of tbe guineas disappeared
and in time brought back a brood of
young chicks. They are now about half
grown and of a nondescript species.
Their beads and feet and bills look like
a chicken's, and one of them has a
comb. They are speckled like a guinea,
but their color is brown instead of blue.
We have seen three birds of this kind
of a cross. Two of these were at Me-
chanicsburg, O.. and the other was at
Columbus, O. These hybrid fowls will
not breed, it is said. The birds were
shaped somewhat like a guinea fowl,
but the color was more like that of tbe
sire. This proves Mr. Felch's claim that
fowls get shape and size from the dam
and color iron the sire. Commercial

Fowli Most Have Exercise.
A man confined In jail with but lit
tle exercise soon loses the rosy hue of
health, loses appetite, becomes pale
and before long tbe sheriff telephones
the county physician, for soniething
must be done or the man will die.
Fowls confined In a little jail of a yard,
hard tramped and Impervious to in
sects, will for lack of needed exercise
lose appetite, fail in flesh, suffer from
indigestion and become generally of
"no account" for eggs or anything else.
Exercise, is necessary to tbe well being
of all locomotive animals. Clams ind
oysters can do very well without It,
but fowls cannot.
Kill tbe Mite.
If there are mites in the fowlhouse,
kill them all at one fell swoop. Get
10 cents' worth of carbolic acid, make
a strong, hot soapsuds, put half the
acid In the sprinkling pot and pour In
the hot suds and thoroughly sprinkle,
throwing the solution high up on the
walls. Do this In the morning and shut
the fowls out during the day. Two
days later clean out the house and use
the rest of the add in the same way.
In this way In three days the number
of mites may be reduced from. 10,000,-
000,000 or any other number to 0. Ex

In "Washington. Some fifty-eight of
these bugs are now on their way from

will be the first ever seen in the cap
ital
This is one of the results of a de
mand for something newthat is con
stant on the part of the public and
competition among bird and pet animal
dealers. The cocoyos are very large,
though perfectly harmless, and in
many of the South American cities and
in Havana the young girls and married
ladies wear them in their hair at night.
the effect of which is singularly strik
Ing and beautiful, especially when the
lady wearing them happens to be
blessed with more than, the usual share
of feminine pulchritude.
The cocoyos thus wprn illuminate the
wearer s countenance and nair in
perfect halo of light. Whether they
will be used In this way by local belles
remains to be seen. The cocoyos are
very hardy and will live for months
with little or no attention. Local pet
dealers are of the opinion that if kept
Indoors and in warm places during the
winter In the same manner that par
rots and canaries are kept the cocoyos
can be domesticated and made to In
crease and multiply in this country.
This has proved successful in the case
of the little green chameleon lizards of

Timing of the Year.
The birds cease their song in July,
By. the end of the first week one misses
some voices in the woodland choir, and
by the middle of the month most of
the leading soloists are silent, the
veery, the oriole, the bobolink, the red
winged blackbird, the brown thrasher
and others. Instead of the sweet mel
odies of June the orchard rings .with
the fretful cry of young orioles and
the pine grove is noisy with the cease
less squawk of young crows. The
grackles and blackbirds and swallows
are gathering In flocks. The first flock
of grackles streaming down toward the
marshes of a July afternoon for the
night roost seems always to trail be
hind It the semblance of a shadow. It
is your first intimation that the tide of
the year has turned. One-brooded
birds are molting, while a few, like
the song sparrow, are still busy .with
second or third families, and many of
the old birds are leading their young
forth into the world to complete their
education in travel. Country Life in

Marrlagre by Proxy.
The curious custom of marriage by
proxy still exists in Holland. A Dutch
gentleman residing in Batavia was re
cently united by proxy to a young lady
residing with her parents at Amster
dam, and, incongruous as it seems to
our ideas, the bridegroom's sister rep
resented him and took the young lady
In. his name "for better or worse." It
seems that the young man was tired of
waiting for his love any longer, but
found that she would not be married
unless her mother was present. Her
parents would not go -to Batavia, and
he could not go home. A compromise
was happily possible, as they were
both Dutch subjects, by the lady being
married with her relations around her,
and she has now sailed for Java.

cotton Markets.
- ! Br Telezrann to the Horning star i
New Yobk, June 1 Cotton market
opened at a decline of three points to
an - advance of six points. The de
clines were confined to the old crop
options and were the result of realiz
ing and selling for short account while
the crop was sustained by the low
temperatures notea in western sec
tlons of the belt and fears that the
floods In the southwest would work
down into ' tbe cotton countrv.
following the call, trading became!
slightly more -active under demand
tor later positions, shorts covering
ana tne south sending buying orders,
wmcn advanced prices sharply until a
level about four to sixteen noints
aoove the closing last Friday had been
attained. Then there was some tak
ing of profits by the- room under more
favorable forecasts. Almost immedi
ately there was another rally, however,
on the moderate estimates for to
morrow's estimates at leading points;
oetter accounts from new jemr-
isna - smnninsr centres and a
slight Improvement in the demand for
cotton goods. In addition to this, ex-
uports ior tne oay were heavy and al
thonffh the nort receints again greatly
A-rnAMind last -rear's, the unfavorable'
crop talk proved the dominating fact
or,' prices nemg rapiaiy lorcqa up
until a net train of four ' to twenty
points was apparent with September
sellinar to 10.19. touching a new high
level for the season. From this there
was a slip-ht reaction under renewed
profit taking, but tbe market was final
ly steady at net unchanged prices to
an advance of seventeen points. Total
sales futures estimated at 100,000
bales. '
