OUR BERRIES.
The Best Known Varieties All Wildlings
from Woods and He'd Serows.


from Woods and He'd Serows.
AS a rule it would be better to pro-
cure plants of the selected and we'll
tested varieties than depend wholly
upon chance seedlings from the forests,
but the latter are by no means to be
despised or neglected if the long-culti-
waited and named varieties are not
easily obtained. Iwould certainly en-
courage observation and careful exami-
nation of wild fruits by every one who
has opportunity, for while every intel
igent fruit-gTower may know what has
been gained in this way, no one can
possibly tell what may be found by
further exploration of the same field.
1t requires little time to mark any
promising wild variety of the rasp-
berry when in fruit, and to remove the
plants later in the season to the gar
den, and should they not prove to be
Of any great value, there is a pleasure
to be derived from the very uncertainty
of the results which usually compen-
safes for the cost of the experiment.
The native wild red raspberry is
even more variable than the black
raspberry, and our fields and woods
abound with natural varieties, and the
best and most popular of those now in
cultivation~re natural seedlings, found
growing wild in some field or forest.
These varieties are not the result of
any ''tinkering" on the part of horti-
culturists; in fact, most of the tinker
ing that has been done in the way of
crossing and hybridizing has given us
little or nothing of value. Some thirty
or more years ago the late Dr.. Brinckle,
of Philadelphia, raised a large number
OF what was then claimed to be highly
improved varieties of the raspberry,
but they are already obsolete, with,
perhaps, one CT two exceptions. The
late Charles Arnold, of Canada, made
many experiments in hybridizing the
different species of the raspberry, and
while he was eminently successful in
producing hybrids, not one of the num-
ber was worth cultivating except as a
curiosity.
But when go in my garden in sum-
mer to gather raspberries, and fill my
basket from such old and never-failing
varieties as the Kirkland, Wilmington,
Philadelphia, Turner and Cuthbert,
have to thank some man like Mr.. Baird,
who found the originals growing wild
and transplanted them to their gar
dens. The same fact applies to black
berries. The Dorchester, Lawton, Kit
tatinny. Missouri Mammoth, Snyder,
Wilson's Early, and dozen other we'll
known varieties, are all wildings,
picked up here and there in the woods
and hedge-rows. We have certainly
done much better with some other
kinds of fruit than with the berries,
but the influence of our boasted pro-
gress in horticulture has not as yet ex-
tended much, if any. further among
raspberries and blackberries than to
select choice wild raspberries from the
woods.--Andreao S. Fuller, IN N. T.

sEcULARIzATIoN OF SUNDAY.

The Opposing Forces Ready To Do Battle
Outside OF the Liquor Question.
Special to the indianapolis Journai.
New YORK, JAM 9-The armies arrayed for
and against the secularization of Sunday are
ready to do battle, here in New York, on ground
quite removed from the usual field of alcoholism.
Ths immediate issue is the opening of the public
museums that are supported jointly by the city
and private contributors. In a general way 1t
may be said that the preachers are on one side
and the editors on the other, since sermons and
articles are almost invariably opposed on the
subject which is being rather violently agitated.
Each of the five influential morning journals has
come out positively in favor Of admitting the
public on Sundays, and two are making a spe-
cialty of the contest. Petitions receiving
signatures by the ten thousand, and in most of
the mechanics unions votes for the opening have
tors have, to large majority Of
the orthodox Protestants, delivered discourees
strongly denouncing the movement to turn their
Sabbath into day of diversion. The warfare
centers around the Museum of Natural History.
which is sustained about equally by municipal
money and individual bequests The trustees
are divided, and inclined to be conservative.
Mayor Grace is for open DOORS and declares that
he will never sign another appropriation until
the change is made. On the other hand, some
of the chief donors of cash and exhibits threaten
to withdraw their help if Sabbath breaking is
permitted. but they will see that the defcit re.
sulting from the mayors action is made good il
Sunday closing is maintained The last victory
of the secular party was in establishing Sunday
free concerts in the parks, and the outlook is
that though more difficult to do, the museums
will be opened soon.

WAR ON ILLICIT DISTILLERIES.
Mountain Women Visit q Distillery and Chop

ATLANTA, Jan. 9-Edward G. Tucker, a

the ladies are the Witnesses in case of illicit

miles from him, in Towns district Of Walton,
the two ladies live near neighbors. Mrs.
Buchanan is the mother Of three sons, and is q

the men who were carousing around the spot
were astohished by the appearance Of Mrs. Bu-
chanan and Mrs. Johnston in their midst They
carried upon their shoulders axes, and fire was
seen in their eyes. They at once set to work
chopping UP the establishment, and turned all
the liquor out upon the ground, and reaching the

good for nothing. The young men would
allow no one to molest their mothers. When

away. Upon their journey home they nailed
notices. which they had already prepared, upon
the trees These notes warned the liquor makers
that the women had organized themselves for
the war, and any STILL whether illicit or not, es-
tablished within ten miles would be visited by
them and destroyed. These acts were followed
by great excitement throughout the county.
The better class of people approved the conduct
of the intrepid ladies. while the lower classes
threatened to visit their wrath upon them. The
churches sustained the valiant sisters It was
thus that the matter reached the ears of the
revenue officials, and hence the appearance of all
the parties in interest here.

WAR AMONG GAMBLERS.

The Ruin of Young Fishel, and What Is
Likely 10 Result from It.
Speciai to the indianapolis Journaa.
New YORK. Jan "a turbulent row is going
on among the richer gamblers of New York. in
which several men widely known on the turf as
book makers are involved. On the return under
arrest of Frederick Fishel, who had robbed his
employers of $75 600 by means of counterfeit
checks and fed to Canada, he cleaned his breast
by full confession, showing that nearly all the
money had been lost at faro tables kept by Dave
johnson, Bill Kirby and Charley Davis These
locally-famous gamesters were arrested on the
charge that they knew, when accepting the
checks and banking them that they were forged.
Bail was fixed at forty to sixty thousand
dollars apiece, and the size Of the sums made it
necessary to rustic around lively among their
friends to get the bondsmen The men finally
secured for this purpose were Jim Kelly, the
king of the book-makers, Jake Shipsey, Fred
Abel and Tony Pastor, the variety actor. Care
was taken that the Sondsmen should be owners
of property worth, free from incumbrance twice
the amount of the whole bond. and this required
the possession of at least $50, 600 in real estate
by each. The agreement by the prisoners with
the bondsmen was that the case should be settled
outside of criminal proceedings even though q
return of the won money had to be made; but it
looks now as though prosecution would be in
sisted on by the district attorney. rrespect-
i've of the wishes Of anybody. More
over. the ruin of Fishel transpires TO have
been done by deep conspiracy, involving the
use of handsome adventures Nellie Fisher, as
a stool pigeon to lure him into gambling. in
which he was sacked and pillaeed by means little
short of highway robbery. All this puts the case
in worse aspect than at first, and the bondsmen
are fearful of losing their fortunes so foolishly
w;o bad rhn 0f fhair s.x% Az
event of the forfeiture of the bonds would be
$3.50, 900, and, if any one OF the bondsmen get
clear in any way, by quibble or fight, his saliva

of the same bond. They seem to doubt the real
ity of that honor which is proverbaly said to
exist among all sorts Of men, and are following
one another with detectives to guard, if possible,
against disloyalty.

The Ingenious Devices Resorted to by Owners
OF Theater Bar-Rooms.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK. Jan. 9-The strange visitor to
many New York theater tonight is puzzled,
if he emerges from the auditorium between acts
by being politely guided into canvas funnel,
just high and wide enough to let two persons
pass each other. This structure is not unlike
the temporary passage ways that are set up
| across a sidewalk and to the door of house in
which a social entertainment is being given, so
that the guests who come in carriages may get
from vehicle to hallway under cover; but in this
case the transit leads into the street, round a
coorpost, and then into an adjoining bar-room
The device is to save the bibulous patronage of
the auditor, without violating the excise law,
which forbids the use of door in a wall be-
tween theatrical premises and a
bar-room. A puzzle harder to solve
is presented to the promoters Of
the big public balls the season of which now
begins. The excise commissioners, who are
now under Investigation for licensing and pro-
tecting vicious resorts, are desperately trying to
create sentiment against the law by making it
odIous, and to that end they threaten to raid all
balls in the Academy of Music and Metropolitan
Opera-house. unless alcoholic beverages are alb

appointed by the convention of National Fedora
tion Of Miners and Mine Laborers, at
Pittsburg last month, has issued call
for q State convention of operators
purposes of the convention are to consider a
scale OF prices submitted by the miners at the
Pittsburg convention, to appoint delegates to the
joint convention Of miners and operators to be
held at Columbus, O., Feb. %, as we'll as to trans
act other important business affecting the
interests of all operators and shippers.
The call urges a full representation,
inasmuch as interests not represented are likely
prices, doubtless, will be most important. It is
TO 60 into effect May /. and to continue year.
So far concerns Indiana, the scale is as fol.
lows Block, 80 cents; Indiana bituminous, No.
l. 65 cents; Indiana bituminous, No. 2, rs cents.
These prices are what are now being paid. In
the summer when the demand for coal is being
confined to manufacturing purposes, the prices
are about 10 cents less, but the scale proposes to
make them the same summer and winter. If
the operators are to be able TO meet the demand
it must be because of the advance of coal or re-
duction of freight, or both-an impossibility,
judging from the past The convention at Co
lumbus will no doubt settle the question. The
miners are taking steps to send delegates there,
and will accept the verdict rendered
