One of the best methods for growing
tomatoes in the hOtbed or greenhouse
is to put in layer of moss and over
this an inch or so of rich mould and
sand mixed, and as the roots strike this
moss, it causes them to strike out
through it in every direction, thus
making fibrous-rooted plants, every one
of which will grow when transplanted.

Most persons who use Lima beans
do not know how excellent they are
g. H.,
as much better than the common bean
as they are when used in summer. The
seed almost always brings high price
in spring, and for this use is one of the
most profitable crops that farmer can
grow. The advantage in raising Lima
beans for seed is that they can be grown
by farmers so far removed from cities
that the cost of growing will be greatly
acknowledging.
President Barry stated to the West
ern New Y ork Horticultural Society that
to become really profitable apple orch
ards must have a soil the fertility of
which is to be maintained with suitable
| fertilizers, giving the trees Il good an
nual growth, with judicious pruning and
the destruction of noXiOuS insects. Then
when the fruit is well grown, it must be
carefully gathered, assorted. packed and
marketed, the whole requiring care and
skill at every step, and without which
orcharding can not be profitable.
Oatmeal Cakes: Into a quart of
cold water in which has been dissolved

A REMARKABLE ExHIBITIoN


Saturdays game, to which many of the Portland
base ball public have looked forward as one of the
events of the season, drew an audience of about
900 persons, who left the ground about the mad
dest crowd that has been seen at game here this
year, and that is saying good deal. In the first
place the Beacons brought their own umpire and
fatty refused to proceed with the game unless
Grant, their man, should be allowed to umpire.
After the Beacons had left the field Fulmer yield
ed the point and the game began. 1t soon became
apparent that the Portlands were fighting ten
men instead of nine, and the umpire was yalu-
able tenth man to the Beacons. Every decision
at critical points was in favor of the visitors, and
the mans judgment ON balls and strikes was mis-
cradle and evidently prejudiced in the favor of his
employers, the Beacons.
The Portland's costly battery errors lost them
the game Amuffed third strike and base on
balls with a wild throw by the catcher to third
gave the visiting club two runs in the first inning,
and another run in the third was gained in much
the same manner. Blakeley's pitching was of a
kind that could neither be hit nor held, and
Hanna, who is naturally fine catcher, was put in
aplace which he could not fill. Battery were
numerous, and Blakeley, besides being the cause
self.
Annis made the Portlands' only run, reaching
first on tumble by shortstop, stealing second and
coming in on Wheelock's two bagger At the end
OF the seventh inning it looked bright for the
Portlands; The battery had set to work, and
Nichols, the visitors celebrated pitcher was be-
ing rather freely hit. Then, however, the Beacons
discovered that they must take their train for
home, and, rather than travel in any other way,
forfeited the game to the Portands, nine to moth
ing.
They play good game of ball, but their playing
is not OF that wonderful kind it has been repre-
sented With their own umpire they win all the
games. Without him, the result might be differ

9th chapter of Joshua This chapter de-
scribes the destruction of Jericho. During
the reading, frequent 'amens," "'alle-
lujahs," cries of "We've been around once,
THE walls have got to come," were inter-
spersed by members Of the army. A Saliva
ton Army song was then given, with drum
and tambourine accompaniment Leaping
hampton leads in the singing, emphasizing
the beats by wildly waving his arms, spring
ing into the air, whirling about and flourish
ing his clenched fists in a manner more
suggestive of a first-class pugilist than fol-
lower of the meek and lowly Saviour of
mankind. During the exhortations which
followed considerable needless pains were
taken to inform the audience that the speak
ers had never ''been to college," but the
peculiar merit Of utter ignorance in land OF
free schools was not as clearly shown.
After more singing, Capt. Shirley an
nounced collection and the meeting closed
with an Army hymn to the familiar tune of
one of DR.. Cullis' most beautiful selections.

SENTENCED.
An Interesting Relic Found by an
Auburn Lady.
Lewiston Journal

An Auburn lady, Mrs. L. A. Pray, found
behind the frame of an ancient looking-glass
not long ago, thin, crumpled up packet,
stained by time to an almost deep black,
shading into mellow yellow. Heavy and
stiff was the paper and covered with charac-
ters antique, even and regular. Opened, the
paper showed a bold front of headlines that
identified it as a legal document of some kind
The first letter is huge 49," with quirk
an inch long at the bottom. The document
is written in French and the opening word is
Sentence" WEIGH is French as well as Eng
lish. 1t is dated July 10, 1919, and
and freely translated reads: Sentence
of July 18th, 1919, in case of the Proeureur
du Roi VS.. Leonard du Cilly, wood mer-
chant at Paris "
Cilly appears to have sold wood on the
beach at a less price than he should have done
by agreement, and the prosecution sentences
nm to conhscatlOn of wood, and also pun
lshes one Bernault according to provisions
of the Sth chapter of Partisan laws for
speaking badly of Cilly. The head OF
the paper was torn away, but was rolled mn
within the other.
This paper was written within less than
ten years after the assassination of King
Henry of Navarro, and during the reign of
Louis XIII. of France, and nearly one hun
dred and seventy-five years before the taking
of the Bastille.

been questioned. Up to within year ago
his weekly pay roll was never less than $15,-
600, distributed among 1900 men and boys.
Now his pay roll is a little over $7,000 but
this will be reduced tomorrow, for it is the
intention of the firm to lay off about 400 men
in the morning. They will be paid all that
IS owing them and only enough workmen will
be kept to finish the ship Comal lying in the
New Jersey channel
The ship yard is a separate corporation
and was not included in the assignment. The
yard will be affected however, and Mr..
Roach is a large stakeholder in the Chester
rolling mills blast furnace and combination

difficult to foretell the result on these places,
each of which employ a great many men.
Work on the cruisers Boston and Chicago and

and heretofore this busy yard will present a
deserted and dull look. None but the kind
est and most sympathetic expressions are
heard for Mr. Roach and the hope is that he
will come through all right, as the city de-
pends largely on the ship yard and other en-
terprises in which Mr.. Roach is interested.

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
How Kentuckians Acted on the Re-
yiyaI of an Old Crudge,

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 19.-Meagre par
ticulars of triple tragedy that occurred at
Stepstone, KY, to-day are just received here.
The tragedy grew out of the revival of an old
grudge between town marshal Perry Oakley,
and John Smith, and very few words were
exchanged before Oakley fired on Smith.
Before Smith could return the fire he was
shot dead in his tracks, and Nate Osborn,
a friend of Smiths, came up to take part in
firing at Oakley, when he was himself shot
just below the heart, dying half an hour
afterwards. Henry Smith, brother of John,
was next shot twice, once in the head and in
the breast under the heart. He died at 9
o'clock last night. The fight occurred in H.
c. Hooker & Coz store, and it does not ap-
pear at all clear who did the shooting which
was all done with pistols.
A man named Mcclure was going between
his house and the store with loaded shot
gun in his hand when he was fired Oh by
Oakley without effect. Mcclure then return:
ed the fire with his gun the shot taking effect
in Oakley's right eye. Oakley was also shot
by unknown parties He was removed to
the residence of Major Cassidy, where he
lies in critical condition. All was quiet at
late hour last night. An inquest will be
held to-day. More trouble is expected, as
both sides are well represented and are full
of fight

SIGNS OF a DECLINE.
General Grant Nervous and Restless
and the Disease Gaining Ground.

MOUNT McGREGOR, July 1S.-It is feared
that the turn has come in General Grants
rally. Signs of decline in General Grants
condition appeared yesterday afternoon.
The weather was hot and the change was at
first attributed to that, but examinations
show that the symptoms were those of pro-
crossing disease more than anything else.
The night was one Of WEAKNESS and wake
fuiness. The General slept little in the
early evening. Afterwards he caught sleep
only in short maps. The cottage was opened
on all sides, affording good ventilation, but
this gave the patient little relief. DR..
Shrady, who remained over night, contrary
to his expectation, was called frequently to
relieve the General who became so nervous
and uncomfortable that at O'Clock this
morning he was taken out on the porch and
put in his bath chair, where he slept little
while. The morning being cool, he returned
to his room and there fell asleep. His pulse
has not been greatly disturbed, nor has the
Respondent, and it is feared the next few
days will be far from comfortable.
MOUNT McGREGoR, July 19.-Gen. Grant
passed a very quiet night. His pulse this
morning was Y, and fuller and stronger than
yesterday, and the benefit of a fair nights
rest have been supplemented to-day by i'm
proved conditions made possible by the COOL

To-day the General sat upon the piazza
much of the time. His pulse during the day
showed no change. He read the papers. and
altogether passed a restful and uneventful
day.
The General retired at o'clock. At mid
night the patients mental and physical con-
dition seems to be better than during the
morning Dr. Douglass anticipates quiet

Terrible Treatment in a Convict
Camp.


VICKsBURG Miss, July 18.-Thursday night
at the convict camp at Crew Lake, La, on the
Vicksburg, Shreveport g. Pacific. railroad, James
J: Riley of New Orleans found that his brother,
about 8 years old, who was confined there, had
been whipped so soundy that he died from the ef-
fects; Young Riley was sentenced to one years
imprisonment for larceny, but protested his inno-
cenee to the hour of his death, and his brother
had assurance that the boy would have been par
doned soon. There are about 81 conyicts in the
camp working on the railroad wheeling dirt, rails
ing the roadbed. The camps are under control of
Captain Hurled. One of his lieutenants, Joe Nc
Quarters is known among the prisoners as Joe,
the butcher" Mr.. Riley says that McQuarters
beat and whipped his brother even when he had
fallen down too sick and weak to work. The boy
pleaded for mercy as the lash was piled, while
four negro conviets held him down. Young Riley
was carried from the pillory to what is called the
hospital. He died soon after Mr. Riley frequent
lly received letters purporting to come from his
brother in which it was stated that he was well
and kindly treated, but soon another came which
revealed the actual situation. The next letter
told him of his DEATH Mr.. Riley says he has as
