woman,s work-Gardening.

There is another class of employment
which does notrequire course OF train
ing, but is open to many women who
have a small amount of capital and the
energy and common sense without
which capital is useless. Gardening in
all its phases is a work peculiarly suited
to women, and the culture of early vege-
tables and small fruits is reliable source
of income. In the Southern town in
which | live there are dozen prosper
GUS fruit growers, each of whom counts
by hundreds of dollars his Yearly gain
from the sale of Strawberries ,raspberries
Kitta tiny, blackberries and other fruits.
| have never heard that the supply of
these exceeded the demand, and a
neighbor of mine who has had years of
experience declares that there is profit
in selling Strawberries even at 90 cents
per gallon. One has only to read Mr..
E. 2. Roe's Success in Small Fruits ito
become an enthusiast on this subject.
Much of the work attendant on raising
small fruits can be done, and should be
done, by women. "A few hours work
every day in the strawberry patch or
among the currant bushes would work
miracles in the matter of physical
health, and from physiological point
of view the hoe and rake are more FEM
mime tools than the needle and sewing
machine. Then, there are the house
wlfely arts of canning, picking and
preserving. Why shuld not these yield
their possessors a comfortable living?
Do you say that the market is full Of
such artists? reply that in every de-
partment of trade there is always room
for the best. The fruit-canneries of
America send out no such preserves
and jellies as our grandmothers used to
make and our mothers are still making.
/" Homemade" is the highest brand of
excellence, and q firm of Virginia or
Kentucky housewives could monopolizs
the whole trade IN canned fruits and
vegetables. Mrs. E. c. HALL.

Kane's Conduct Inquired Into.

WASHINGTON. May 8.-Admiral Jouett
recently ordered a court of inquiry at
Aspinwall, to investigate the charges
made against Commander Kane, to
the effect that he did not perform
his duty at the time of the
burning of that place. The find
ing of the court has been received
at the Navy Department, and is as fol-
lows: That the American flag was in
suited, as alleged by the seizure of the
steamship Colon and the forcible arrest
and Imprisonment of a number of
American citizens, including an
officer of the United States navy
in uniform, and Robert X. Wright, Jr.,
United States Consul at Aspinwall,
which, however, we find TO have been
done on the Both day of March, under
forces which, in our opinion, were not
revolutiOnistS, but were part of
an armed mob acting under
orders of one Pedro Prestan,
who was denounced by both the exist
ing political parties of the State of
Panama as a robber and assassin, who
called himself revolutionist, to cover
his base designs. The conduct of Com
mander Kane, was, in our opinion,
based on the concordant testimony of
all the witnesses who have been before
the court. as well as those who
have testified by deposition, eminently
proper. He acted with judgment, with
discretion, with firmness, and in accord
ance with his orders. Had Commander
Kane acted otherwise than as he did.
there is no doubt the lives of the Ameri-
citizens Imprisoned by Prestan would
have been sacrificed, with no benefit to
Americans or other foreigners. either in
the saving of life or property. The
burning of Aspinwall would have fol
lowed the murder of Prestan's prisoners,
and in all probability other American
citizens would have been made victims
of Prestan's malignant fury"

Railroad Racket.

CHICAGO, May S.-The joint agent of
the east-bound pool lines received a
dispatch from Commissioner Fink.
to-day, saying that he had advices from
Montreal, that the notice of withdrawal
from the pool by the Grand Trunk had
been reconsidered, and that the road
would continue to report business to
the pool pending the meeting of the
central traffic committee. The managers
of the roads in the Ohio river pool met
to-day and decided to continue the
existing freight rates and to make
weekly statements of the business done,
similar to those now made in east
bound trunk line pools. : ~ 5
CHICAGO, May Snow that the
Northwestern railway has been formally
ruled out of the tripartite combinat
an effort making to settle the differ
ences on the western traffic. Vice
President Potter, of the Burlington
road, has submitted a plan for settle
ment of the present differences. This
provides for the formation of several
pools; one local pool for the roads west
of the Missouri River, one on range
cattle from Wyoming and Nebraska
points to Chicago, one on competitive
business in Nebraska, between the
Union Pacific, Burlington and
Missouri River, and the Northwestern,
one on local business from Union Pacific
points coming to Omaha, and one on
the Omaha and Council Bluffs business
proper, At their meeting, to-day, the
managers of the Western trunk lines
agreed upon a system ofpools substan-
tally as given above, but when the
question OF mlllstuffs. in transit was
reached. they were unable to arrive at a
settlement and adjourned.
There is an impression in railroad
circles that an adjustment of the diff
ferences may be reached tomorrow
and the proposed pools put into effect.

Agricultural Report.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-The May re-
port of the Department of Agriculture
relates to the progress of spring blowing
and to the condition of winter grain,
meadows and pastures. 1t also reports
the prevailing rates of wages of farm
labor. Spring sowing, in proportion for
planting, is everywhere late. Last
year at this date it was estimated
two-thirds were done; this year it is
scarcely six-tenths. The estimated
average of a series of years exceeds
seven-tenths. Less than half of this
work is done in the Eastern States, IN
New York, Ohio and Michigan. A
much larger proportion is finished In
the northwest, where corn, potatoes
and other late planted crops are grown
in smaller proportion. The injury to
the winter wheat crop was greater
than appearances indicated on
the 1st of April. The roots
were killed in the central belt, even
worse than was supposed. In New York
the snow protection was ample, except
in spots, and in Michigan no material
injury occurred, but in the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys the reports of the
condition are much reduced. In the
south, slight improvement in the pros
pect has occurred, and the average of the
condition in the principal wheat-growine
States is as follows: New York, So; Mich
igan, 100; Ohio, So; Kentucky, As; In

the attempted assassination of Captain

noon by a detective from the

issued by Judge Van Brunt, who pre-
sided over the trial, charging Munsen
with misdemeanor, perjury and con-
tempt of court. 1t has been discovered
by District Attorney MARITIME. that on
several days before the trial Munsell was

pending, he visited Rossa's office and

ing the Jurors from the time they
were impanelled, neither party OF
watchers knowing that they had rivals
in the case. The warden and keeper Of
the Toombs, as well as the prisoner
whom Munsell went to see, and two
tenants in Rossa's building are the
witnesses. Each set of detectives made
a similar report. The district attorney
is confident he can convict Munsell.
Munsell was seen IN the Toombs to-
night. He says he went to Rosa s
Office to get better idea of the sur
roundings than the diagrams
shown in the court gave. He
remained there abouC a minute and
spoke to no one while there. He saw
Short once in the Toombs when he
called to see Orrin Skinner, the alleged
swindler, who had obtained money from
hun. Skinner had promised to try
and get some of Munsell's back for him
and had asked him to visit Mrs. Skin
ner. who was dying in Quincy, Ill. On
this occasion he did not speak to Short,
and got only such poor view of him
that he did not recognize him when
Short took the witness chair. Munsell
claims that he was opposed to dyna-
mite plans, but that on the evidence
produced on the trial he could only con-
scientiously acquit the prisoner.

BLEMISHES ON THE COIN.
The Ingeni Gus Tricks Smart Eng
1ishman Played: -t

Morgan, the English engraver of the
standard or "buzzard" dollar, animated
doubtless by an ambition similar to
that of the youth who fired the Ephesian
dome, smuggled into his work in two
places the initial letter of his surname
ms" are plainly discernible on the coin
even to the naked eye after a careful
search. An eagle-eyed Wall street man
recently discovered one of the letters,
and started among his acquaintance
the following puzzle: Find three letter
Ms on the standard dollar" Two are
readily found-one in the word ''unpm"
and another in America" but the
third is not so easily, found. An inter
view with Chief DruWmond, of the
United States Secret Service, showed
that there was four Ms instead of three,
and the fourth hitherto unnoticed even
by Wall street men. was pointed out to
the reporter Mr.. Drummond laughed
when his attention was called to the
matter, and said: 1.-The presence of
these extra letters on the standard dol
lar was first brought to my notice by
one of my clerks. They were, of course,
cut in the die by Morgan" The Chief
of the Secret Service acknowledged that
they had not escaped the attention of
the counterfeiter, who had placed them
on the false CONS. Similar instances of
the mutilation of dies are recalled in
the case of English and French engrav-
ers' work. Wyon, the artistic to the
English Mint, many years ago placed
on the plate of a postage stamp 'sW''
of so minute a character that for years
the stamp circulated without doubt of
its perfection. The eventual discovery
of this blemish created a sensation in
England. The Objectionable addition
to the work was promptly erased and a
stringent law passed against !the COM
mission of like offence. In the reign
of Napoleon III, the engraver placed
the initial letter of his surname on the
plate for stamp. This also was of such
microscopic dimensions that 1t escaped
detection for long time. The discov-
cry of the fact led to the same result as
in the English case.-New York Tribune.

Middleton commenced to march north
yesterday, and waste have camped near

Batouche to-day and the impression
p 'eYails here that if the half-breeds are
routed by him they will double around
this way in order to effect a junction
with Poundmaker. A party who went
to Moosamin's reserve to-day, report
him gone north. If Middleton disposes
of the enemy it is thought he will march
this way, and, being joined by the troops
here, will proceed against Poundmaker,
otherwise no aggressive movement will
be made from here until reinforcements
arrive. A number of Indian signal fires
were seen in different parts to-day. The
plckets were doubled tonight. a
