NIyKA CLARK GAINES.
The story of IA Remarkable Career.

The story of "a Remarkable Career.
Mrs Myra Clark Gaines. SO well known
from the pucky fight She has Wagcd in
the courts 10 establish her claims against
the city of New Orleans, died there Friday
night. She was born about 1906. Her
father was Daniel Clark. at one time an
Indian trader, and afterwards Il man of
considerable prominence, who was [ nited
States consul before the great Napoleon
made Louisiana part of the American
republic. He also represented the terri
tory i'm Congress in isO6-S. Clark after
wards denied that he was married to her
mother, IL French lady. and subsequently
contracted another marriage, but the
courts afterwards decided that the first
was the legal marriage. The deceased
when quite young, resided for Il
while with Il family named Davis,
assuming their name. In 1880, while
they resided in Philadclphia, her
guardian, then member of the LegiSla-
ture, sent home for certain papers OF I'M
portance. Myra was assigned to find
| them out of number of such that had
| been accommodating for years. To this
event she doubtless owed the prestige
which she afterwards attained for while
searching for the required papers she
came across several letters from her tath-
er. She read them, and for the first time
learned something of her condition and
birth. In 1872 she married w. W. Whit
ncy of New York, who, with the instincts

FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
sult the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
sars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut a single change of cars to Iowa,
K.,ssss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota,
svc. No otherline can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to tie saving Of much Of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiving a letter from one Of the B. Il o.
Agents. A letter addressed to W. e.
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to j. 7. Lane,
Wheeling, W. Va, to j. A. Webb, Eos.

ROach's MartyrdOm.

"What are the plain facts about these
disastrous contracts for the Dolphin
and the steel cruisers? Mr.. Roach has
been paid every dollar of the D Dlphin
contrsct of S3l5,000 except Sl5 900 to
$4,000. The contracts for the three
cruisers and the dispatch boat aggregate
100000. and although the boats are
not nearly finished Mr.. Chandler before
be went out of Office had paid more than
$2.000.000 to the contractor, and there
is less than 100000 owing to him on
the whole business
Out upon such glaring fraud and false
hood as the shallow preteLse that the re-
fusal Of Secretary Whitney to allow the
government 10 be robbed has bankrupt
ed this contractor! Is not the boast OF
Mr.. Roach's friends that be has enough

When to Prune Trees.

Mr.. Barry says: If q tree is severely
pruned Immediately after it has put forth
its leaves, it receives such check as TO
be unable to produce vigorous growth
the same season. Young trees may be
cut back TO a single bud in early spring.
and the new shoot will push forward
with increased vieor. But cut back in 8
similar manner in time or during the
growing season, its grow for the re-
mainder of the ssson will be feeble it
has been shorn OF its foliage and time
aloue caI restore lis wonted vigor"
Mr.. Downing says: Ignorant cult.
vators frequently weaken the energies OF
Young trees, and cause them TO grow
with lean and slender stems, by injudi-
ciously trimming off the young side
shoots and leaves in the growing season.
By taking off these shoots, the stem is
deprived of all the leaves which would
attract and elaborate the sap, thus pre-.
pairing nourshment for the growth of
the stem. And the trunk of the tree
does not increase in size hal; 80 fast as
when the side branches are allowed to
remain for a time, pruning them away
gradually"
If pruning during the growing season
tends TO check wood growth, and of the
truth of this there can he no doubt, what
are the lessons taught US by these facts
One thing is very certain, we can hase en-
or increase the productiveness OF onr
orchards by summer pruning, as what
ever tends to check wood develops fruit
buds and brings trees sooner in bearing !;
on the contrary,if our orchards are over.
productive and better tree gro Nth is
desirable. avoid pruning in summer, 1t
y far better to prune away In early
spring.-CultivotOr.
