"A fruit grower has made the discovery

lent guardians of strawberry patches to Keep
away the birds. The cat Is fastened by a

of the wire readily prevents the cat from
twisting round the post which supports the
wire, and a small kennel placed In the middle
of the walk affords shelter and q home for her
kittens.
The claimant OF the Tichborne estates Is

1.-The grand jury at Baltimore have pre-
sented the Rev. DR.. Huston for adultery. The
committee of clergymen to which DR.. Hus toms
case was referred, after an investigation Of
the matter, have, as our readers know, come
to the'conclnslon that the charges are not pro-
ven. That is the extent OF their power, and
now the affair must be taken to the Confer
ence If there Is any disposition to prosecute IL
further. Itappears that there Is a determine
tion to open the whole case in Conference, the
decision of the committee not having given
satisfaction. The Baltimore American repro
duces the testimony with critical notes, and
charges unfairness upon the committee in rul-
ing out testimony that ought to have been
heard. The committees power being limited
to reporting that the charges were 'proved"
or s.not proved, lhey have made their report;
but certainly the testimony in the case was by
no means such as to suggest the opinion that
DR.. Huston Is an innocent man. 1t has excited
considerable interest in Baltimore, from the
standing of the accused and the tender age of
his alleged victims.
Again the plain of Satory has been moist
ened with the blood OF executed Communists,
not one, but three being this time required at
the sacrafcial altar of law. These were Lerl-

killed the very priests who we're striving the
dying of both sides, and Boudln, who shot
down q chemist In the Rue Rlcheieu because
he protested against his son, a mere lad, being
impressed Into working at q 5arricade. Like
those who had perlshed In the same place be-
fore, the trio maintained dogged stoicism,
and though Informed Of the certainty and i'm
mediateEess OF their doom, only when the
ambulsnces called at their cells to convey
them to the fatal field, they were calner than
their executioners. They had all eaten and
druaken, and Lerizter had asked for pipe of
tobacco for the last time. In driving along he
confessed to Dominican, a priest of the very
order against which he had shown such hatred.
They walked quickly and firmly to their pla-
ces, and uttered the Communists profession OF
faith, "Viye la Commune.n All three were
smoking, but Lerizler threw away his nine.
Boin kept bis cigar in his hand, but Boudjn
was smoking as he fell. The execution was
slowly and awkwardiy accomplished, and the
victims writhed for some time after the first
fire, before the coup de grace. was given.
