Court Notes.

Judge Taylor was in an exceedingly indus
triOus way yesterday, and disposed of twenty
eight cases, many of which had been inoumber-
ing the docket for a long time. He dismissed
the divorce suits of Mary /. Gray VS.. Henry C.
Gray, Fannie Simon vs. Aaron Simon, and also
number of suits on foreclosure and accounts
for want OF prosecution. At last accounts he
was hearing the divorce suit rs Jeanette ROths-
child vs. Moses Rothschild, and the defendant
was on the stand talking in such rapid man
ner as to lower the record, and the court and at
torneys were unable to head him of.
Judge Howe was also full of business yester-
day He dismissed tina divorce proceedings of
Caroline Hart VS.. George Hart, Barbara John
son vs. Theodore johnson, and settled "a number
of other cases.
The trial of DR.. Fernandez, for criminal prac-
tioe, continued In the Criminal Court yesterday,
and the impression Is gaining ground that the
State is making very strong case. The prose-
cutting witness, Miss Vestal, stuck to her original
story through close aud searching crOss-ex-
animation, and her statements were very dam
aging.

The physician with sympathetic heart and

there-no one can bear the agony for her;
that inexpicable and fearful edict remains
as forceful as the day it was pronounced.
There has been no mitigation of the SEN
tence.
Truly children are a'blessing III modera-
ton. but when the mind ana body are
strained and racked increasingly in the prob

to tax themselves or communities. The
cities all over our land furnish thou
sands upon thousands of examples of the
crime of bringing children into the world
without the faintest shadow of hope or ex-

burden and blot upon society. We shall

An Addendam to "rhe Murder of the limo


70 the Editor OF tho Indianapolis Journar
1t is impossible for one to read the account
of Dr. Hathaway, of Pennsylvania, without a
chill of horror creeping through the very
marrow in his bones. 1t is not strange that
such developments call out indignation and
adherence from press and pulpit; but on
account of the growing sons and daughters of
our families into whose hands your paper
is sure to fall, we would like to write an ad-
dendum to 1.-THE Murder of the Innocents."
All great cities are centers of crime. and prob
ably women who are sheltered and protected
in their ignorance of what exists there are
incompetent to speak of it. but we are sure
your article is calculated to mislead and
raise doubtful inquiry in the minds of
our sons and daughters-"Can that mean my
mother?' 1t does not necessarily follow be-
cause there are only four, "father, mother,
boy and GIRL" in the family that the mother
rather believe the father a high
type of manhood than otherwise
Neither does it follow because a
woman shrinks from the responsibilities
and wearing cares that make so many such
women subjects for insane asylums, that she
wants to leave the path God marked out for
her. There is a great deal of humbuggery
and msinterpretation OF Scripture on this
point as well as many others, and those who
are forever hauling out text and examples
in the way of patriarchs with a regiment of
sons and daughters, generally forget to add
that they were nearly all polygamists, and
didn't expect their wives to confine them
selves to one vocation" to the exclusion of
everything else. They didn't seem, either,
any more successful in the rearing and edu-
cation of their children, for many of them
went astray into by and forbidden paths of
sin in those days just the same as in these.
We would not for an instant seem to
shield or excuse "the crime of which we
speak with bated BREATH" but we do take ex-
ception to your sweeping assertions that lay
all women open TO suspicion Of the char,e
They are the exceptions and not the rule, and
the man who casts at them the first
stone has only need (if in the economy of
nature that thing were possible) to take her
place only once through the unspeakable
anguish and perils Of that mysterious ordeal

The Turnir Crop.

Philadelphia Record.
The turnip crop is one of the most i'm
portant in our system of farm rotation, but
it is one that is more generally neglected
than any other. 1t is not SO valuable crop
as parsnips, carrots or beets, so far as its
feeding value is concerned, but it can be
produced at less cost than the Others Beets,
carrots and parsnips should go in early, in
order to get good start in growth, but we
have the advantage of being able to defer
the putting in of turnip seed till July, after
the new crop OF seed is ready, and cultiva-
ton is carried on during a period when no
other crops are being seeded. Considering
the cost of production, the turnip crop
should be special one on every farm. They
keep well during the winter, and not only
serve an excellent purpose when sliced and
fed in the raw state to stock, but can also be
cooked and mixed with other food. Not
only are the roots valuable but the tops
also-there is no part wasted. By weight
they produce heavily. and are not deficient
in bulk when compared with many other
crops
The most essential feature connected with
the cultivation OF turnips is to make the seed
bed nne. The seeds are very small, and
must not be deeply covered, and no Jumps
or other Instructions should De tolerated on
the location intended for them. In procur-
ing seed get that which has matured this
season, and use it literally, as this plant is
often attacked by the turnip fly, which is
very destructive. Turnips may be sown
broadcast on ground that has been cultivated
aud kept clean and free from grass and weeds
the previous year, but they should never
follow corn, experience having demonstrated
that such rotation does not result we'll
The seed may be sown in driIls-the drills
to be of such distance apart as serves best
for either the hoe or cultivator. When they
are high enough to thin out an ordinary hoe
will cut away all that are not desired, leav-
ing the most vigorous plants and hand
picking is sometimes necessary to thin out
the stools that are left. During all stages of
growth the crop should be kept free from in
trusion of weeds and grass, as turnips are
sometimes overtaken by drought during
which time it is absolutely essential not only
to keep down weeds, but also to keep the
soil loose by frequent cultivation.
The best fertilizer for turnips is superphos-
phate. but the addition of a proportion of
guano and potash in some shape will be ben
eticial. Above all, however, there is moth
ing better for them than liberal applica-
ton of good fine, well-rotted stable manure,
especially if it has been broadcasted and
we'll worked in with the harrow before drill
ing in the seed
