peaches,” “ best basket of white peaches,” and 
“ best basket of peaches of any variety.” Mr. C. 
G. Brown had the largest general display of fruit, 
showing 75 varieties of apples alone. He took 
more premiums than any other single exhibitor. 
E. G. Packard won the special premium offered 
for the largest display of corn, his exhibit being 
largely of varieties adapted for ensilage. He also 
won the special offered by The Rural New- 
Yorker for the best display of cow peas, Crimson 
clover and other plants for improving the soil. 
Mr. J. Colby Smith had a fine display of honey, 
showing that Delaware is not behind in bee 
keeping. Mr. Smith also had charge of a very 
interesting exhibit of Golden Italian bees from 
Mr. W. H. Pridgen, of Creek, N. C. 
The Dixie pea and bean sheller and separator, 
shown by E. G. Packard, is a new invention of 
great merit, especially adapted to hulling cow 
peas, but will successfully handle round peas or 
beans of any kind, shelling perfectly, without 
breaking or injuring the seed, and cleaning per¬ 
fectly—all at one operation. If any one had an idea 
that Delaware is good only for growing peaches, 
sweet potatoes and Crimson clover, that idea 
would be completely dispelled by a visit to this 
fair. _;_ r. 
HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS 
The grain market was quite strong on Monday 
morning, wheat especially so, and brisk, but 
later in the day, reports of largely increased 
shipments from other countries had a depressing 
effect and the market closed somewhat weaker 
and dull. This condition has continued during 
the week with some variations, but at the close, 
the market is a little firmer, prices a little higher 
than during the week, but still somewhat lower 
than one week ago. Flour was dull throughout 
the week, both for wheat and rye. The corn mar¬ 
ket opened stronger on Monday because of colder 
weather in the West and lighter offerings. Later, 
it became dull, but at the end recovered some¬ 
what its firmness, and closed with prices a little 
lower than one week ago. The oat market was 
firm at the opening of the week, with a moderate 
trade and considerable export demand which 
seemed to increase from day to day, the market, 
with some exceptions, continuing strong and 
closing firm. Rye has been in only moderate 
supply, aud prices are well sustained, although, 
at the close, they are slightly lower than one 
week ago. There is a good inquiry for prime 
malting barley, as this grade is not plentiful, and 
prices are well sustained. The trade in beans 
and peas is rather light, and the tendency of 
prices is downward. 
The butter market has taken quite a boom this 
week, the best creamery selling quickly for 20 
cents. Th is h as not been a sudden and unexpected 
rise, for the market has been steadily advancing. 
Dealers say that nine-tenths of the fresh creamery 
now arriving is defective in quality, so that only 
one-tenth of the butter can be expected to bring 
top prices. The result is that much of the butter 
in storage is being brought out, and some claim 
that the quality is even better than much of the 
fresh that is arriving. As far as dairy butter is 
concerned, supplies have been very light, but the 
demand for this class of goods Is also light, and 
prices are not much advanced. Cheese, so far, 
has not shown much advance, trade being dull 
and exporters not doing much business. 
In fruits, the tendency is for slightly higher 
prices for first-class stock; especially is this true 
of high-grade apples, which are in very light 
supply, and prices for such are strong. Fancy 
red apples quickly bring $3 per barrel, but there 
are very few such in the market. Peaches are 
plentiful and the best are very scarce. The pears 
in market are variable, those which are choice 
being scarce and meeting a good demand. The 
lower grades and common varieties sell slowly at 
low prices. Grapes are in lighter supply, and 
the market is firm for the best qualities. Plums 
aud prunes are also in good demand. Tae water¬ 
melon season is practically over. Dried fruits 
have advanced in sympathy with the firm green 
fruit market; especially is this true of evapor¬ 
ated apples, and the price is materially higher. 
Potatoes have also sold for higher prices, the 
best Long Islands now bringing $2 per barrel 
which, certainly, may be considered a high price 
for September. Sweets have advanced slightly 
in sympathy with the others, and the fancy Vine- 
lands which are now coming into market are 
bringing good prices. Onions are firm and the 
prospect is good. Tomatoes are scarce and 
choice cauliflowers are in light supply. Most 
other vegetables have shown little change from 
the previous week.

Do you know what an “emul¬ 
sion is”? It is when each drop 
of the oil is broken up into 
minute drops, so-small you can 
hardly see them with the mi¬ 
croscope : so minute that they 
pass at once through the tissues 
into the circulation. Scott’s 
Emulsion does not disturb di¬ 
gestion, is not unpleasant to 
take, and does not fail to do its 
work because digestion can deal 
with it at once. You may be 
able to disguise the taste of 
raw oil and get it past the 
palate. You can’t cheat your 
stomach with it.

A BURLINGTON YOUNG LADY TELLS THE 
STORY OF HER RESCUE. 
From, the Clipper, Burlington , Vt. 
A reporter called upon Miss Lillian Warner at 
her home, 415 St. Paul Street, Burlington, Vt., 
and begged the favor of an interview. 
The young lady is a musician and a pianist of 
considerable renown, and has her time fully 
occupied by engagements to play at concerts 
and other entertainments that are constantly 
taking place in the city, and the strain upon the 
strength and nervous energy of the pianist can 
be easily imagined. 
“I never could have stood it once, but I have 
something now,” said Miss Warner enthusiasti¬ 
cally, “ that braces me for my work. Some little 
time ago I was utterly unable to attend to my 
duties, owing to a disarrangement of the nervous 
system that affected my eyes with all the rest. 
They became so weak and troubled me so that I 
finally went away into the country to rest. The 
benefit obtained from the change of scene and 
freedom from care was, however, merely tem¬ 
porary, and upon my return to work I rapidly 
lost all that I had gained and more.” 
“ But did you consult a doctor ? ” 
“ O yes, indeed; I put myself under the care of 
several doctors, and even tried many remedies 
recommended for cases like mine, but the medi¬ 
cines had no lasting effect, and it looked as 
though nervous prostration was to be my portion. 
“ I was about ready to ‘ throw physic to the 
dogs’ when I first heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink 
Pills for Pale People, and it was with but small 
faith in any benefit to be derived from them that 
I at last made up my mind to try them. 
“ Hardly had I taken the first box before I ex¬ 
perienced a great relief from the weakness and 
nervous troubles with which I was afflicted, and 
my eyes grew stronger every day.” 
“ Are you taking the pills now ? ” was the next 
query. 
“No; as I told you the first box helped me a 
great deal, and after I had taken six boxes, I felt 
so well that I left off the medicine entirely, and 
have not taken any now for some weeks. Iam 
able to attend to all my duties and feel as well as 
can be, while my eyes continue to improve right 
along. I do not even mind the long walk from my 
home to the business part of the city.” 
Miss Warner further said that Dr. Williams’ 
Pink Pills for Pale People build up the system, 
giving a lasting effect and not merely a fictitious 
strength for the time being. 
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People con¬ 
tain, in a condensed form, all the elements neces¬ 
sary to give new life and richness to the blood 
and restore shattered nerves. They are an un¬ 
failing specific for such diseases as locomotor 
ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, scia¬ 
tica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, 
the after-effect of la grippe, palpitation of the 
heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of 
weakness in either male or female. Pink Pills 
are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post-paid on 
receipt of price, 50 cents a box, or six boxes for 
*2.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100), 
by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company
