say anything about the affair beyond the fact
that Davis and his pals had tri ed to rob him.
Holland was afterward taken before police

dered man, told his story substantially as hereto
fore given. Holland was held without bail, and

tions, but has many friends here, who fear he

Obscene Matter I'm the Mails.

PROVIDENCE, R. l.. Sept LIN the United
States District Court, today, preliminary hear
ing was had on the complaint of Postmaster
Gardner against Albert E. Bosworth treasurer
of the Stafford mills, Fall River, for the sending
of An obscene letter through the mails, addressed
to a lady of eminent respectability residing in
this city. The court, after quoting several de-
cisions, discharged the prisoner on the ground
that the mailing of private letter of the char
acter named was not an offense provided against
by the United States statutes against the mail
ing of certain classes of matter. The letter was
particularly vile. and the prisoner admitted his
guilt when arrested. The courts opinion was
based on the fact that the law was specific, in
terdicting certain carefully described classes of
matter, and must be construed strictly.

An Incident Showing that They Don't Know
Very Much About Arboriculture.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IAN amusing incident
occurred the other day, showing the ability of
the experts of the Agricultural Department. Two
gentlemen were discussing the kind of wood
which formed the main part of cane which
one OF them carried The owner of the cane said it
was cherry. He knew it was, because he had
bought it in England for such. The other. who
for years was manufacturer Of pipes. said:
"Nc, it is not cherry; it is German
wetzel." In order that the controversy
might be settled upon authority a small bet was
made, and the cane was taken to the Agricultur
al Department. The Commissioner, the chief of
the forestry division and the statistican at once
pronounced it birch, while the horticuturst
claimed it was ASH ard the private secretary,
stenographer and telegraph operator declared it
was apple. Unable to decide the bet the dis
putants left the department and went to the
store of jeweler who is large dealer in canes
He was asked his opinion, and told the result of
the visit to the department. He Immediately
said: "It is neither birch, ash, nor apple, but
is German wetzel," The Agricultural Depart
ment is better posted on bugs than it is on ar
Horticulture.

Settled Purpose to Make an Obstructive
Campaign in Parliament.
DUBLIN, Sept AT banquet given by the
Lord Mayor at the Mansion House this evening
in honor Of Parnell and his Irish colleagues in
the House of Commons, 300 guests were present,
exclusive of members of Parliament. In a
speech, Mr. Parnell said if home rule was re-
fused the Irish they would make it impossible
for the English to legislate England could
either grant the Irish the right to rule them
selves or make the country a crown colony
The latter would be tantamount to the former
He denounced the agrarian outrages, saying a
continuation of them would be terrible blow to
the Irish cause. The land question was the
great question in Ireland.
Mr.. Parnen was enthusiastically cheered
throughout his speech. He reminded his hear
ers that tho statement that nome rule in Ireland
was impossible emanated from the same man
who once said local government was impossible.
Referring to the moonlightiug outrages in
Kerry, though he thought the perpe-
traitors had some excuse in their des-
peration and poverty, he prayed freshmen
to forbear, as such actions only injured the
cause. With equal emphasis, he asked land
farming depression. to show the stuff
ing from exacting rents which the soil
refused to yield If the Landlords persisted in
exacting their full pound of flesh, in the future
there would be little flesh left to exact. Parrfall
said he was confident Ireland is on the brink of
victory.

OFFICIAL AGRICULTURIsTs.

Address by Commissioners Colman on the
Subject of Food Adulteration.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-The Association of
Official Agriculturists met in convention at the
Department of Agriculture to-day, the vce.presi-
dent, Prof. H. G. White, of Georgia, in the chair.
Mr.. Colman, Commissioner of Agriculture, de-
livered an address, in which, after declaring
his entire sympathy and that of the farmers of
the country in the object of the association,
which is to secure a uniform method of analysis
of fertilizers, he expressed the hope that the
association would extend its deliberations to
the methods Of chemical analysis He thought
that the association should also fix standards Of
purity for the different kinds of food and estab-
lish methods for the detection of adulterat1on
He thought the general government ought to CO.
operate with the respective State governments
in passing the most stringent laws against the
adulteration of foods Upon this point ne said:
''In so simple matter as the adulteration of
milk it would be hard to secure q conviction in a
court of justice for any person practicing it.
because of the absence of any official standard
by means of which the extent of the adultera-
tion could be measured. In the question of TODD
adulteration have long been greatly interested
aud am anxious that some steps may be taken by
means of which the extent of IL may be
diminished. / have already directed the chemist
of this department to give attention to the adul-
teration OF foods. Frauds that are practiced ON
the public In adding cheap and frequently harm
full ingredients to the food we eat in order to
make greater profits, ought to be exposed in no
uncertain way and the perpetrators be held up
before the public objects of scorn and detesta-
ton. To such an extent is the adulteration of
butter and the manufacture of coun-
terfeit article carried that the great
dairy interests of our Nation are now
almost prostrate. The honest producer of a
pure article is impoverished, while the manu-
facturers of and dealers in fraudulent article
are enriched, some OF them having become
millionaires by this illegitimate work"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Colman's address,
the reports of the committees appointed at the
last meeting of the association, upon the best
methods of determining potash in fertilizers
were read and debated. Prof. T. r. Gladding
read paper on the subject. The committee on
the best means of determining nitrogen in fer
tilizers will make its report tomorrow.

Masonic Boards of Relief

BALTIMORE Sept. 1.-The national convcn-
tion of the Masonic Boards of Relief resumed
its session to-day. The committee on organiza-
ton reported in favor of organizing permanently
for the purpose of facilitating the ex-
posure of persons travelling around the
country and imposing on lodges, and for the
collection of statistics. etc. A constitution was
adopted providing for the election of officers,
and the organization will be known as the Grand
Relief Association of the United States and Can
ada. The election will be held 10 morrow, and tis
thought likely that either John r. Pope, of New
York, or Martin Collins of Missouri will be
elected president and DIR. d. F. Pennington. of
Baltimore, secretary. The sentiment of the
convention seems to be in favor of ST. Louis for
the place of meeting year hence.
