Minor Topics.

To grow early tomatoes, says N.
Milton, we must keep them growing
slowly from the time the seeds vege-
tate until they are set in the open
ground. This is done by frequent
transplanting, always increasing the
distance apart each time, being also
careful that they are not set into the
garden until the soil is warm enough
for them to go on growing without
any check; also, that the position for
them be sheltered, having a south or
east exposure. - i y
Certain plants may be multiplied

The trial of Cunningham and Burton vas
brought to conclusion recently The court
room was crowded, among the notables being
United States Minister Phelps. The prisoners
wore an anxious look and followed Judge
Hawkins charge with intense interest The
drift of the charge was clearly against the
prisoners The judge, after explaining the ma
ture Of the charge against the prisoners, ana
lyzed the evidence, calling the jurys attention
to the fact that Burton's statement was not
made under oath, and therefore entitled to
very little credence. The jury retired, and in
fifteen minutes returned with q verdict OF
guilty against both prisoners. The court at
once sentenced both TO penal seryitude for lite.
The announcement was received by the spec
tators with applause. Cunningham maintained
his self -composnre but Burton broke down and
sobbed when the verdict was rendered. When
asked why the sentence of law should NOT ba
passed upon them, Cunning ham protested thar
he was innocent He said he was Wiling 10

not touch his soul Burton simply declared
he was innocent. In sentencing the prisoners,
Justice Hawkins said they had been convicted
of crime as bad, cruel and wicked IS has

advisers could be intimidated by any such

tine for four days. The captain then lessened
the fore-hatch and called on the mutineers to
come mp and surrender. They threw their
sheath knives on deck, but muttered that the
pistols had been lost below. The captain had
no leg irons or handouts with which to se-
