The Peoples Church, Chicago, under the
ministration of Rev. Dr. Thomas, was
crowded Sunday in expectation of q sermon
from that gentleman and there was almost
general disappointment when he contented
himself with brief address, In substance
he said that inasmuch as he had been sus-
pended from ministerial functions, he
would follow the advice of counsel and not
attempt to exercise them. He would await
the action of the General Conference, and
whatever that might be he would return ia

The Summer Tree GONE.

The beautiful spreading beech tree in the
East Capitol Park, known as the Sumner
tree, was cut down yesterday. 1t has been
dead for nearly year. This is the tree
that Senator Sumner formed such an at
tachment for and asked that it should be
spared when the East Capitol Park was
graded and many of the trees destroyed
some years ago. The transplanting of the
tree did not kill it, as it has been stated. 1t
has flourished many years since transplant
ing very handsomely.

duce testimony tending to show cruel treat
affirmative answer, Mr.. Ingersoll objected

The Two Prayers.

s"GoD BLESS THE PEOPLE. james A. Garfield.
When the President was very low, upon
being told that the people all over the land
were praying for him, he fervently ex-
claimed: God bless the people," On an
other occasion, hearing the church bells
ringing, he said: They are praying for
me- God bless them. :" GA ufMC

Practical Hints on Growing Fruit.

If You want large crops of the finest straw
berries, pillow or spade the grouud deep. Keep
them well worked with the cultivator or hoe,
and mulch heavily with straw, hay, leaves or
pine needles through the winter or through fruit
ing season, over the entire surface
Don't leave an old strawberry bed that is one
mass of matted plants, to bear fruit, but rs early
in the spring as possible, spade under strips Of
plants fifteen inches wide and leave strips to
fruit nine TO twelve inches wide Work these
out nicely with fork potato digger. and scatter
over the ground and among the plants well rot
ted compost. You will get double the crop of
fruit off these rows that you would if left in a
matted bed, and, too much finer fruit.
If you want 10 secure a good crop of raspber-
ries OF blackberries from a few plants in your
garden in time of drought, sink close to the root
fruit or oyster cans, with very small hole in
the bottom, and fill with water occasionally IL
the hole is small, n can filed will last a day or
two. The same can be done with few straw
berries and increase crop and size of fruit won
derfully, especially if wash water is used
II you have cherry trees that do not bear fruit
but have plenty of blossoms, try root pruning in
early spring, or tap the tree rs maple trees are
tapped.
II You have Strawberries that have plenty of
blossoms and little or no fruit, you may know
they are pistiliate SORT and require fertilizer
planted among them, like the Wilson, Triomph
de Gand, or Jucunda.
If rose bugs trouble your roses or grapes put
a spoonful of white hellebore in pail Of water
and sprinkle it over the bushes or vines
To have roses bloom WELL keep old wood cnt
back, cover bushes in winter with straw, corn
stalks or coarse manure, and work into soil
around them plenty of iron filings or break up
old pieces of cast iron as fine possible and put
il in ground next to roots
To have a good crop of grapes and protect
well through winter, simple lay vine on the
ground in the fall, but not cover with earth as
some do.-FrRit Recorder.
