nile fiction can possess, without anything
perncous. Its articles on scientific subjects,
travel, and the facts Of life, are by writers

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR
And the Position OF the Roman Oath
nIic Church.

ST. LOUIS, March 6.-Archbishop Kenrick
Of Missouri, has instructed Vicar-General
Brady to deny the statement recently sent
from here to the effsct that the Catholic
church was hostile TO the Knights OF Labor.
"The church," says the vicar-general, els
very conservative on the question of labor.
1t loves the labOring Glasses, whose especial
guardian 1t is. II the teachings OF the
church were followed there would be no
clash between capital and labor"
sit Is said that because the bishop OF
Montreal has seen fit to denounce the
knights Of Labor that 1t would be con-
sistont for Archbishop Kenrick to do the
same"
''This is not the case Mt all. In Montreal
the knights may not live up to their CON
stitution or there mny be some local cause
which do not obtain here or in other cities,
This is a fact, however; Archbishop Ken
rick has not condemned the Knights OF
Labor. l can state that positively. The
church must be especially conservative In
the matter of societies because this IL an
age of societies. They are springing up OIL
every side.'
"What do you think the church will dc
about the knights?"
why that is very simple, The plenary
council at baltimore discussed question:
thoroughly, and when the DEGREES o
the council are published then tho position
Of the church will be clearly defined"

In the Southeast Sentinel, published 1T
Silver City, Grant county, New Mexico,
the county commissioners advertise, in
conspicuous type, that they will pay a
reward of $3.50 "for each and every hos

zen of the county, "on presentation to
said board of the scalp of such Indian. y
Silver City is not little hamlet of log
shanties or mud huts, inhabited by from
tier desperadoes, fugitives from justice or
half-wild cowboys. 1t is considerable
town, with the usual modern improve
ments, and claims to be peopled by civi.
LIKED men and women, who have pretty
good opinion of themselves. There are
even churches there with liberal
congregations. And yet this community
not only tolerates, but very evidently APP
proves the action of its county commits
sioners. No doubt these Apaches desory,
to be hunted down and shot or hanged
but this cold-blooded official invitation t,
assassinate them at $3.50 per head is al
outrage upon civilization. New Mckee

stop to this thing. II is worse than til

THE PEHINS ULd.


The opinions of peach growers do not
yet seem to have become settled as to the
amount of injury done the crops by the
recent cold weather. They are still pull
ing of and examining buds, which causes
an exchange TO remark that more damage
will be done in trying to find out whether
they are killed than was done by the cold.

Am Unknovsn MAN Found Frozen
In n Small Boat.


CAMBRIDGE, Nd, March ga small skin,
about ~ feet long, drifted ashore on Castle
Haven beach, opposite the residence OF
Captain Jacob l.. Corsey, on the Choptank
river, yesterday. An old colored man, liv-
ing In the neighborhood, who was the hrst
to discover the boat, found on reaching 1t
that II contained the dead body OF young
white man. The body was lying face down,
and the face, as deep as the ears, and the
whole length Of the body to the depth OF
several inches, were encased In ice and
frozen fast to the skiff, requiring the use OF
an axe before the body could be removed.
Justice Thomas II. North Of the Neck dis
trict, was notified, and jury OF In
quest summoned to-day. There were no
marks OF violence on the body, and the jury
returned u verdict OF death from unknown
causes. The deceased was apparently not
more than 30 years of age, about five feel
six inches 10 hight, light hair, sandy mus
tache, and Of fine appearance. The body
was clad In neat fitting dark suit and
white shirt and suit OF oilskin overalls Two

1t is stated tonight In Cambridge that
gentleman who lately returned from Oxfor
was told that man got adrlft In a SINAI
boat from Tilghman's Island one day las
week, and It was supposed that he wa
drowned. The theory with those at the In
quest is that the boat has been carrie
about the river, which, at the point wher
II was found, Is several miles wide, by tn
drift ice, and that the unfortunate youn
man died from exposure. The body wa
buried to-day on the. Castle Haven farm.

A CAVE OF woL YES IN KANSAS
A Hundred of Them Killed by an
organized Attack.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, March S.-A special dis
patch from Lawrence, Kansas, says: A day
or two ago farmer living In the southern
part OF this county came Into the city with
the report that he had discovered a cave on
his farm that was inhabited by prairie
wolves, and from what he could find out
they amounted to about 800. He had killed
few but they would not come out and he
was afraid to enter the cave.
Preparations were at once made TO raid
the den. A large party arrived ut the place
yesterday morning and turning the dogs
loose, one or two Of them rushed into the
cave and were at once torn to pieces. A
force of men then began operations and III
a short time had u hole into the cave back
OF the wolves, Two men entered and all
the dogs that could be found and advanced
on the rear of the mass of animals who
had by this time assembled In the front
part of the cavern. The dogs became
frightened and beat a retreat, and the men
after firing few shots also got out. After
an all days skirmish, the hunters decided
to make Il dash and drive out their prey
and kill as many as possible. All drew
back from the front and kept quiet ard two
men again entered In the rear. This time
they succeeded In causing stampede and
In short time the cave was empty. The
shooters did some good work, and by the
time they were through about 100 wolves
had been killed. A grand hunt is being
arranged.

last Thursday, communication whs re.
ceived and read from Wesley Webb of
the State Grange committee on the fruit

mington during the time of the coming
State Grange meeting to be held at that
place, stating that arrangements had been
made with the Randolph Peters Nursery
Company for the use of its refrigerator

After the reading of the commnnica-
| tion motion was made that q committee
of five be appointed on behalf of the

Mr.. Moore offered resolution in regard
to the manufacture and sale of oleomar
garine, which was read and referred tc

William Dean, d. ]. Murphy, l. w. Day
and T. Mcdowell. The committee re
ported:

Dairymen everywhere have good cause
to oppose the manufacture of bogus butter,
and Pomona Grange, as will he seen in
our local columns, has taken action on
this matter. 0leomargarine, buttcriue,
and suine, when properly made may be
as wholesome as genuine butter and may
be indistinguishable from it, but when
one buys butter he wants the pure
article. We do not think there is
much imitation butter sold under false
colors in this community, certainly not
by our grocers, who, we believe, as rule
sell the manufactured article upon its own
merits and under its proper name. Right,
fully or not, however, there is a suspicion
that is possible in our street markets t.
occasionally get stuck with a mix
ture of genuine and bogus butter. X
abolish the manufacture of imitation
butter would of course render such fraud
impossible; but the experience of othe
states seems to show that this cannot b.
done. The most that can be accomplished
is to regulate its sale and to punish b.
penalties heavy enough to make the law re
spected the sale of bogus or adulteratet
butter under false colors.

The Smyrna Record returns to the
charge on the postmasters of Milford and
Middletown with formidable array of
facts and names to bolster up its asser-
tions. In Postmaster Cummings hour
of bereavement, dhe death of his wife
could hardly have been known in Smyrna
when the Record article was written), we
must refrain from comment upon his ad-
ministration. But as to Postmaster Stewart
we must say that the array of damaging
testimony set forth in to-day's Record, is
so full and so explicit that it does not
seem possible that it can be explained
away. The high standing of the South
Milford gentleman who is represented by
the Record as ready to make oath that
Mr.. Davis, of Lofland IL Davis, told him
that the firm held the postmaster
due bill, must Offset in the convic
ton of those who know hin
the counter statement made on Wed
nesday last by Mr.. Lofland The name o
John j. Rosa, which likewise carries con
viction with it, is also used by til,
Record as Authority for another charge o
embe zzlement. Let these charges be Off
cially Investigated at once; if they ar
true it is an outrage on the people o
Milford that Mr.. Stewart should b
allowed to retain office another day 1t i
not to the credit of Mr.. Stewart that h
has not publicly demanded such an inye'
tieation,
