sS~ LIMA BEANS WITHOUT POLISG.-
The Lima bean is not as generally grown
as it should be, on account Of the troub
lie Of procuring the poles and polling
them. Recent experiment, however,
have proved that by adopting the fol-
lowing plan this most delicious of all
beans may be raised without polling at
all: When the tendrills begin to start
nip them off, continuing to do so as Of
ten as any appear. The plants will then
assume a low, bushy growth, and be-
come loaded with early maturing pods.

SUDDEN DEATu.-Our community was
shocked on Sunday last, by the an
nouncement of the fact that Miss Cassie
Hebb OF our town, daughter of Mrs.
Eliza and the late billiard F. Hello, had
suddenly died. Soon the bell on St.
Paul's Episcopal Church tolled the
sad tidings and confirmed the report.
Miss Cassie some years ago was paral-
wed, and since that time has endured Sc
we're suffering, yet always moving around
apparently happy and cheerful. The
evening before her death, she visited
the house of Mr.. B. A. Edmonds, and
spent several hours with the family,
returning home about 9 o'clock. Shortly
after retiring, uttering some strange
noises, her mother became alarmed, and
fastened to her bedside, to find her un-
conscious.
The physicians were Immediately sum-
moncd and did all in their power TO re-
lieve her sufferings, bnt without avail.
Quietly she breathed her last on Sab
bath morning at l o'clock, unconscious
of all around her. Her funeral took
place on Tuesday afternoon, at p M.
The body was taken to the Episcopal
Church, where services were held by
the Rector, Rev. H. Edwards. After
the services in the church, the body was
inferred in the Lutheran grave yard
where rest the remains of her father.
The coffin was covered with beautiful
floral offerings made into crosses,
wreaths, &C., contributed by Mrs. G.
NJ. Stonebraker, Mrs. G. w. Adams,
Miss Agnes Gibson, Miss Annie Miller
and others. All sympathize deeply
with the bereaved mother and sisters,
yet it was the Masters bidding, and

A Historic Petticeat.

New Haven Palladium, July l2,
During the debate on the bill for the ap.
preparation Of $4,000 for the centennial cele-
bration of the battle of Groton Heights, in
the last legislature, alluson was made BY Mr..
Bailey, OF Danbury, TO the patriotic deed Of
Mother Bailey, OF Groton, who took off her
petticoat and gave II to the soldiers for wad-
ding. Mr.. Bailey spoke of the incidents as
occurring in connection with Arnold's attack
on Fort Griswold, and the press all over the
state took up the cudgels of controversy,
stoutly maintaining that the date of the oc-
currence should be laid in the war of
1912, and deriding the accuracy OF Mr..
Bailey's knowledge Of history. Captain
Geo. w. Geer, Of Norwich, custom HOUSE.
Inspector, communicated recently 70 A Bul-
letin correspondent such facts as ought 70 az,
the matter at rest forever. Captain Geer IA
hale old gentleman Of nearly eighty. who
In his young manhood was intimatelv
acquainted with Mother Bailey, and has Often
heard the tale Of the battle from The old
lady's lips. he says she always affirmed
that i occurred at the time Of the massacre
Of 0rptcn Heights, and indeed that such VA,
the iect has never been doubted until
recently. Mother Baily was then buxou

The fact is not generally known that the
treasury department will transmit standard
silver dollars from the mint in multiples Of
$500 and subsidiary silvrr coin in multples
OF $40, on orders from the treasurer. Par
ties in any part of the country desiring these
coins may send to the nearest distributing of
fee either legal tenders or gold and they will
receive, free Of express charges, standard
silver dollars or subsidi ry silver coin, as
they may desire. In this way the demand
which exists at the west and south for money
of smaller denominations than SIS or $40
can be readily satisfied. The minis at New
Orleans, Philadelphia, Carson City and San
Francisco are now coming 100000 standard
silver dollars per month, and the treasury is
receiving about 100000 per month of
subsidiary silver coin. The last report of
the United States treasurer showed that of
the 1926 100000 coin in the treasury, $751;
100000 was silver, $44 425,8l5 standard dol
lars, and about $l4,000,000 of this in the
New York Office. OF the gold in the treasury,
about $4,000, 900 is in the form of bullion,
and this part of the gold that came from
Europe last year.

the force which then garrsoned Fort
Griswold sent to the old lady in sport TO ask
her TO repeat her girlish heroism, and send
them also petticoat to use against the red
coats. But in fact no action occurred at
Groton during the war Of 1872, though the
man.of. war which entered Stonington har-
Dor was for some days cruising in offing, and
occasionally, in sheer mischief, threw a
harmless ball into New London harbor.
Captain Geer has in his possession book
published in 1910 which, among other Incl
dents, relates the story of the deed which has
sent Mother Bailey's name down to posterity,
and which corroborates Captain Geer's ac-
count in every particular.

Third Congressional District Of Min
nesota will have mo- cause to regret that
he has not been given a seat as their
Representative. If our memory is not
at fault, Donnelly was elected to Con-
gress several times in Minnesota on the
Republican ticket, though he was the
Democratic nominee at the election in
1878 in the Third Congressional Dis
trict. 1t is tolerably evident, however,
that whatever his political professions
may be, his principles are always over
balanced by roll of greenbacks.

A CORRUPT sCOUNDREL.

For some time past there has been a
commotion in Congress, caused by the
contest between Donnelly and Wash
burn from the Third Congressional Dis
trict of Minnesota. Washburn had a
majority on the face of the returns of
about 5000. Donnelly, who contested
the seat, claimed that this majority was
obtained by bribery and intimidation
The proof before the Committee on
Elections of the House of Representa-
tives showed that intimidation had been
practiced by Washburn's friends, and
that the tickets given by certain cor
porations to their employees on election
day were numbered, so that those who
did not vote for Washburn, as directed
could be detected and discharged. The
Committee ON Elections, we believe,
recommended that Washburn's seat be
d sciared vacant but instead of giving
the seat to Donnelly, that the question
be resubmitted to the electors of the
District. Congressman Springer, Chair
man OF the House Committee on Elec-
tions, received an anonymous note
offering him money if he would use his
influence with the committee in favor
Of Donnelly. Springer declined TO do
this and promptly laid the note before
Congress. An attempt was made to
ascertain who wrote the note, but with
out success.
Now w. S. King, of Minnesota,
writes a letter in which he reminds
Donnelly of attempting to bride him
self and State Senator for S., 900 to
support certain candidate for the
United States Senate from Minnesota,
and how he, Donnelly, followed people
through the halls of Congress, demand
ing money for his services on commit
tees. King is to testify before the Con-
gressional Committee on Elections, and
if he can substantiate the allegations
made in his letter, the people Of the

Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, be-
lieves in General Grant, and wants him
made President for third term. Car
penter rs an able lawyer, and pleaded
Tilden's case before the Eight to Seven
Commission in 1877. He has been in
terviewed by the New York Times, the
leading Republican as well as third
term paper published. In. that inter-
view Carpenter is represented as having
said that Grant will be nominated at
Chicago, because he is the strongest
man, and will break the solid South
and be elected easily. He claims that
Grant will carry three or four of the
Southern States and nearly the entire
North. The Eureka Sentinel, COM
menting on this assertion, says: cit
would be interesting to know how
Grant is to carry three or four Southern
States, if the Republicans in the whole
South are afraid Of their lives and dare
not 60 within dozen miles of a polling
place, lest they shall be shot" An ex-
plapation of this cenundrum would
indeed be interesting, but it is not
likely to be made before the PresideA-
tial election, if then. We are repeat
cdly told in this State by such papers
as the Virginia Enterprise and the
Carson Appeal, and the assertion is
echoed in the Reno journal, that Re-
publican dare not express his. political
sentiments publicly in the South, yet
such eminent authority as Senator Car
penter, of Wisconsin, Senator Logan,
of Illinois, and Judge Settle, of North
Carolina, who ought to know whereof
he speaks, as he resides in the South
and aspires to the position of Vice
President on the Grant ticket, proclaim
that Grant will carry at least three Of
the Southern States. As the press of
this State, or the eminent statesmen of
tuc w cSL ttIu DOuVit, WHOSC hdili&so ui
mentioned above, are mistaken, our Ne
vada contemporaries ought to explain,
and let their readers know how they
happen to know more about the politi-
cal situation in North Carolina than
Judge Settle, who has, always resided
in that State. If what they say is true,
it will do no harm to explain how they
know it to be so. The question is one
in which the people are Interested, and
as very many cling to the opinion that
Intelligent men like Judge Settle know
more about the situation in North Car
DINA than the editors of the Enterprise
and Appeal, they ought to disabuse
their minds of this antiquated and mis-
taken idea, if they can.
