that his impetuosity would be his ruin. So
far. from that being the case, he
displayed the utmost caution, acted
with the greatest delberation, refused
to move from July to December, until
he had made all his preparations, and after
he had carried on camels to the trenches no
fewer than $4,000 rounds of ammunition,
to say nothing of several thousands OF heavy
shot and shell, he laid siege to Geek Tepe,
and captured that hitherto impregnable
stronghold. He had 10000 troops against
10000 Asiatics, and he achieved the conquest
of the Akhal Tekke country with loss of 937
men. Only once in that campaign did Skobe-
loft display his usual recklessness. After
the fortress had fallen he was riding through
the country with his escolt when he met sew

They answered, "Friendly Tekkes.' GLOW

Bee Culture.

Editor Luling Signal
Perhaps few of your readers may be inter-
ested in the care of the honey bee. If so, a
few lines in the way of advice might be of
some service just at this season of the year. In
the first place l will sappose that all have
movable frame hives-if not, they should have
them, SO that they may know at all times the
probable condition OF every colony. 1t should
be made in such manner that the apiarist
may be able in the various mani pulations to
work with ease and pleasure to himself and
satisfaction to the bees, for, to manage bee
against his will, he remains unmanaged still.
Honey being the object, the main point at
this season Of the year is to build up all col
onies ahd make them as strong as possible
Get the bees in time for the crop of horse
mint honey and they will gather it. Now, in
order to get them strong-yes doubly So
every ten days raise the two outside frames,
then spread the remaining frames, leaving a
vacant space right in the center of the brood
hest to receive the first two frames lifted
out; continue this spreading until you get the
hive full of bees, then when the horse mint
blooms they will fill the hive with honey.
Yes, if you get them very Strong in time to
take advantage of the powerful flow of honey
from hrose-mint each colony will give to its
keeper one hundred pounds of the most de-
licious and healthful of all sweets, for it is the
sweet which the Advise Creator intended for
mans use from the beginning of his existence,
and it is free from that adulteration which is to
be found in nearly all other syrups.

Near the latter part of September
Marshal Gibbons received word from
the police authorities at Philadelphia,
to arrest man named Samuel NAL
johnson, who was said to have left
with funds belonging to aJodge in that
city. The marshal commenced inves-
tigation and last Saturday evening
caught the man at the post-office. A
writ of habeas corpus was got out in
order to try and release Malcolmson
from custody-the claim being that
he had been arrested without a war
rant. In the meantime notice of the
arrest was sent to Philadelphia, and a
telegram was received in answer re-
questing the authorities to hold the
man, and that an officer would be i'm
mediately sent from Philadelphia
with the proper acquisitions, etc.
Last Monday toe case came OIL before
Circuit Court Commissioner Boggs.
His authority to try the case was de-
MED, but the Commissioner, Tuesday,
announced that he had jurisdiction to
determine whether or not the man
should be detained, and rendered a
verdict in favor of remanding the man
back to the officers to be kept rea-
sonable time until the authorities in
Pennsylvania should make legal de-
mand, or until he was released by
order of the police authorities at
Philadelphia. Soon after telegram
was received from Philadelphia order
ing his release.

Bisbop Harris presided at the Trim

Bishop Harris presided at the Trim
ity church pulpit last Sunday morn
ing and evening. He is an eloquent
speaker, and as this fact was well
known, the church was crowded on
both occasions. In the evening the
Bishop confirmed eleven persons, and
his remarks to the new members must
have made a lasting impression upon
their minds. He told them how. by
acknowledging Christ before men,
they hcl done one of the mightiest
acts thai =. man or woman could do.
He cautioned them of the difficulties
they would meet, of the troubles they
would encounter, and of the trials
and tribulations that would beset them.
He pointed out their course of duty,
and stated the reward that was sure to
be the lot of the earnest and faithful
christian. The Bishops sermon was
as to how the mighty power of Christ
had made itself felt in the world; how
it had outlived earthly power, and
His kingly powers shone above that
of the mightiest men. 1t was an elo-
quent plea in favor of religion, and
the seeds of faith scattered by him
cannot fail to find fruitful soil and
bear abundant fruit.

10 feet deep, registers 278 tons, and
can travel, if crowded, about twelve
miles per hour.
The result Of the inspection of the
citizens could not have left favor
able impression on the minds of those
familiar with the discipline, order
and neatness Of a naval vessel, but
this is partly accounted for by her
recent trip through the canals on her
way to the lakes. The cutter was
fifty designated by prominent citi-
zen who, after looking at her con-
temptuously for a few moments, des-
ignated her as "a tub" and fair
specimen of the government vessels
that have cost the people of the coun-
try so many millions of dollars.
The crew appear to have soft
time and look fat, healthy and con-
tented. The officers are genial, OBJ
liging and polite, and the boat is
named after George M. Bibb, who
was appointed Secretary of the Treas
ury, June 10Th, 1914, and controlled
the cash department during the last
year of President Tyler's admins
tration. The Bib is on a trip up the
lakes, and, last Monday, one of her
officers inspected the vessels and
steamers at this port. She is no re-
lation to Barnaby Bibbs, the hero of
a laughable farce that was acted in
this city some time ago.

the Democratic convention, which
meets on the 10th, dominates good

they will, the Democratic party will
be triumphant. To do so, it is neces-
sary that every Democrat in the town.
ships should register, and those in the
city whose names are not on the proper
ward registration list, should see that
they are registered, and then every
Democrat should make up his mind
to be at the polls and vote. With a
full vote, the Democrats should have
q majority of one hundred over the
Republicans at the coming election.
