There is "A doctor in this city, says the
san Francisco Chronicle, who has Il

trance OF the building to his Office, which
is up Just a few flights. For several
days past smart young man, named
Swart2, has amused himself by calling
for the doctor through the pipe, and then
proianely ordering him to set out on an
excursion for Turtarus. For some time
this fun was taken in good part, until
the fine humor of the Joke no longer
became apparent. Accordingly, one az
tornoon, the disciple of Esculapins pro
yided himself with Il tta.ketile of water,
heated to about 2lO degrees Fahrenheit,
and waited alongside the pipe. Pretty
soon the old familiar sound came up
through the pipe:

FARM HINTS FOR NOVEMBER

Wheat is in, and Is making, a fine
growth. II is the study Of all sections of
the country TO avoid the fearful destruc-
tlon of that great ending of our wheat
crop-"t the ay." To escape It's rayages
resort has been had to very early sowing.
In some sections of the country, in others
to very late sowing. My observations for
many years lead me to suppose that, as a
general thing, early sown wheat is more
liable to injury from the hy than late
sown. The fly deposits Its egg in the
second joint, ordinarily before the 1st of
October, rarely later. The period of lis
greatest activity Is from the 18th to the
S0th of September. Wheat sown the last
week in September is less liable to the
depredatlons of this insect than earlier
sOwn, and on this peninsula wheat sown
on good land any time before October
10th will obtain sufficient growth to with
stand the action Of winter ffosts, and
root enough to give 1t yigor 10 Ito spring.

land holds so much moisture or wet
that II hQneyoOmbs every time il freezes.
Still something may be done. A good
coating of litter, barn manure, leafmould
or muck applied when the ground is
frozen, IN December or January, will pre-
vent any serious injury by heaving. The
coating acts both mechanically, by It's
gentle pressure, pressing the little roots
back ilto tRe sou, and a. d tonic or In.
Yigorator to the weakened routlets, which
would treeae and die but for this timely
aid.
There Is a great advantage in sowing
In seven or ten pace lands, making deep

The cennG,laua EIisnnnngement.at
as, PO.l 01ice-


In demanding, IS we do, the sn'eaN
removal of Mr.. Lewis from the Post
Mastership of this city, we do not do so
on the assumption that he is responsible for
the defalcation for which Mr.. Dougherty |
is held to bail. We do say, and so does
every fair.minded and disinterested man
who who heard or read the evidence, that
II is singular that Mr.. Dougherly was
the only man put under arrest, and the
U. s. District Attorneys declaration that
he was ready to prosecute others II Ine
Post ONCE Department would prefer
charges, was accepted by many In the
court room as an evidence that he shared
the common feeling that other charges
should be preferred. The question oil
Mr.. Dougherly's guilt or innocence Is
one which need not be discussed in the
newspapers, and We, for one, are quite
content to leave It, and also the question
of the guilt or innocence of his superior
officer 10 be tried ct the proper time
before a fairly drawn jurB' -.
But no additional evidence Is required
to show that the management OF inc
office has been so scandalously bad as 10
demonstrate that, either through negh-
geuce or incapacity. the responsible head
of the o.se Is unfit for his place, and
that he has surrouuosl himself with
subordinates, several Of whom, Tor IKE
reasons. are equally unfit for the post
tons they occupy. This much Is clearly
shown II the Postmasier's honesty ana
integrity we're berond suspicion or ques-
ton, and this is sulhc.e..t geason Tor
demanding his speedy removal.
To pretend that the general massage
ment Of the Office has been satisfactory
to the Department and to the pubic Is
absurd. Conn lsints of carelessness ana
negligence have been constant and ire
quent while the management LAC most
enphnticallv g,ot had the confidence o:
the public. So far as the Fest Once De
partment is concerned, il is at least not
complimentary to it to say that it was
entirely satisfied when the accounts once
before showed a grave deficiency which
the Postmaster was compelled to make
M. Sill there g some ground for SO
damaging an assertion, perhaps, IN the facl
that Mr.. Lewis was subsequently reap
pointed. In fact the attempt Of interes-
ted parties, bound to the present Post
master by q close community of interest,
politically. to gloss over and make light
of these shameful revelations is othng
short Of deliberate insult to the lntelli-
geuce and honesty loving character OF
people. ard 0ill in the end inlure those
making it more than it will help the oh.
iect OF their anxious soicitude. 1t viii
be better for tbcms. Ives and better foi
him that Mr.. Lewis friends facilitate
rather than rctord his speedy retirement
FROM a position from which an over
whelm.ng public sentiment demands

I'M BANKRUPTCY.
The Waste Attending Bankruptcy Pro-
oeedings--kn Interesting Experience

The following ctter,.addresscd TO tue
editor of the Philadelphia EeWing ltlf-
grdph, appeared in u recent nHmbtr vi
that journal:
SIR IL would like TO add my expert
euce of bankruptcy 10 that Of lone Who

creditor in estates that have been thrown
into court, and have learned souethlrg
of the cost of that mode OF wind Ing up

that be has Jared better than have.
Thirty-thlec per cent. out Of an estate III

years ago, with Liabilities amounting ~
S21o,O00. At 1rst they proposed TO p "
Is cents on the dollar, time bring give .
for the payment. This was without ee-
CURLY. subsequently they offered 20
cents, with good Security. Nih this
latter proposition the Philadelphia cred
itOrs were satisfied, but the New York
creditors refused to accept it aqd foiced
the estate into bankruptcy. The general
opinion of those who investigated the
business was that Il would realize "a sur
plus Of fifty thousand dollars beyond the
guaranteed fifty per cent. Of the indebted.
ness. Under the management of the
bankruptcy Court IL has paid, and that
only recently, 10 per cent. Some people
are sanguine enough TO think that fur

50 far the estate has not only not paid
as much rs was offered, but actually not

waste doubtless have occurred in the tx
perience of others, as they have in my
own, but this is had enough in all cOu-
science. Not only have the creditors
been defrauded by the bankruptcy ma

debtors have lost the fifty thousand dol

Then We assured Mrs. Sawyer that she

She then said ii was nothing. 1t might

that there was but one thing to prevent
