Horticultural hall last night. In re-
spouse to cali of the county commit
tee to test the question between the
committee and Kearney. The latter
announced In advance that he would
take charge OF the meeting, but what
may be termed the constitutional ele-

tendency. A strong force of police IL
present and the Kearneyites finding
themselves in the minority adjourned
to the number of several hundreds to
the streets, where they held an oppo'

the hall were conducted to peaceful
and satisfactory conclusion. The re
suit Is accepted as an indication thai
Kearney has lost his hold on the large

A Tree.Agent Treed.

The July ScrIbner contains the con-
cluding installment Of Mr.. F. r. Stock
tons droll "Rudder Grange" sketches,
which are to be published in book form
in the fall. One of the incidents of this
last sketch is quoted below. The pro-
prietor of Rudder Grange, returning from
ride with Euphemia, his wife, finds a
tramp in one of his trees and tree-agent
in another near by, with his savage dog,
Lord Edward, plying between. The fol-
lowing scene ensues.

sight of person in gray trowsers stand

not very far from the kitchen door. The
tree was not large one, and the branches
were not strong enough to allow him to
sit down on them, although they sup
ported him we'll enough, as he stood close
to the trunk just out of reach of Lord
Edward.
"This is very unpleasant position,
sir" said he, when reached the tree.
II simply came into your yard on mat
ter of business, and finding that raging
beast attacking person in tree, l had

and took it into the house. It's full of
pictures of pears and peaches and flowers.

knew what he was. And there was no
call for his gittin' up tree. Lord Ed
ward never would have gone after him if
he hadn't run as if he had guilt on his
soul"

the individual in the cherry.tree, "that

"Yes," said Pomona. 81 seen them in
the book. But they must grow on a

pears as them"
Here Euphemia reproved Pomona's
forwardness, and invited the tree-agent
to get down out of the tree.
"Thank YOU" said he; "but not while
