Boothbay, compelled two Canadian vess is,

Mr.. Roe's article on peach planting,
reprinted elsewhere from Harpey's Maya
zine, comes little late for spring and a
little early for fall, but the main feature
thereof is the same which DIR. Black in
sists on so earnestly in his admirable
book - make sure that you plant sound
trees. To buy cheap trees may prove
the most disastrous kind of economy.
DIR. Black maintains, and gives very
sound reasons therefor, that the trees
should be raised from the seed of natural
fruit only, and that great care
should be taken in the selection
of the buds, when the time comes to bud
the young trees. The grower who attends
to these things for himself can make sure
that they are properly done. He who
cannot do this must rely on the honor of
the nurseryman and cannot reasonably
expect to get trees on which proper care
has been expended as cheaply as he can
buy trees which have been raised at hap
hazard. A difference of few cents on
the young tree may make difference of
dollars when the tree comes into bearing.

Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal
CHRIsrrANA, May 20.-The county is
building an iron bridge over Eagle run,
on the road to Stanton, which has long
been needed.
Mrs. David Appleby is the greatest
chicken raiser in this section. She has III
ready some 800 chicks, and some thirty
hens sitting.
DIR. Francis Springer is having fancy
porch erected which when completed will
make decided improvement.
Jim Percher, colored, is erecting two
story frame house adjoining the one he
lives in.
J.W. Peters has received the agency for
making iron picket fence; he has the
machine for twisting the wire. The
machine is manufactured in Ohio, and is
very good way of making q wire fence
and not so dangerous as the barbed wire.
The farmers are at a stand-still in their
corn planting from the rains; the wheat,
grass and oats bid fair for q good yield.
There are great many fields of wheat
three feet high. .-...
The business in the village is very dull
and money scarce. The people have to
get along as economically as they can by
doing the work themselves.
Some of the garden truck that has been
planted has rotted and will have to be
planted over. The frost that we had on
Monday last did no damage however.

One of the prisoners now in Elkton Jail
charged with the murder of Billy, the
JOKER has made clean breast of his
crime. He has very probably moderated
his own share in it, but he has made it
plain enough that whisky was at the bot
tom of the whole business. The old
recluse at Chesapeake City sold liquor on
the sly, negroes being apparently his
favored customers. In doing this he
attracted attention to his lonely condi-
ton and to his possession of money
and thus tempted the robbery, which
became murder. This is the
second revolving case of human
butchery wrought by whisky in Cecil
county within comparatively brief
period. 1t may be unfair to hold its pro.
hibitory laws responsible in any degree
for these crimes, but it is not unreason-
able in outsiders to note that things were
no worse in Cecil when under license
system. 1t has been abundantly demon
strated there that the law has thus fai
failed to stop the sale of liquor; that 81
long rs there is demand for whisky
there will be found those ready to run
the risks of supplying it.

Is Gordon Living

Chaille Long, who with General Gordon
followed, in 1870, the course of the Nile
to the Victoria Nyanzn, thus reuniting n
geographical link in the water system of
Africa which had been fractured since the
days of Herodotus, is out in an article,
printed in Sundays New York STIR, ex-
pressing his disbelief of the stories that
Gordon persisted at Khartoum. 1t Will
be remembered that Khartoum fell into
the hands of the Mahdi in February 1885
and that the accounts of the capture of
the city were accompanied by ut least two
or three conflicting reports as to how
General Gordon met his death; one being
that he was slain while defending the
fortress and another that he was cut
down in the street while trying to escape
Mr.. Long scouts both these stories as
baseless lies transmitted to Gen. Wolse-
ley's camp by Arab refugees, who we're in
reality emissaries from the Mahdi the
object being to discourage the advance
of the rescuing force by demonstrating
that there was nobody left to be rescued.
From his personal knowledge of General
Gordon, his familiarity with that ex-
plorer's character, views and ambitions,
his Interpretation between the lines Of
Gordon's diary, his knowledge of the
country, the people and Gordon's former
relations to them and prestige among
them, Mr.. Long concludes that Khartoum
WINS not captured but evacuated; tina;
Gordon, after sending the non-com.
batants into the Mahdi's camp, placed his
thousand or so of tried black troops
upon the two or three small steamers with
which he was provided and assembled the
White Nile to Gondokoro, where he in all
probability is at the present time and
where he is likely to remain and

a large section of equatorial Africa,

SIX Come.s NOW Visible.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, May 24.-Professor
W. X. Brooks, of Phelps, N. Y, reports
to the Warner Observatory here the dis
covery of new comet. It is large, but
faint. Its position is as follows: Right
ascension, IL 15m los declination north,
s. Som los. DIR. Lewis Swift says: ''As
this is not an expected comet, unless it is
Olbois' comet of 1916, which is expected
about this time, Professor Brooks is enti-
tied to another Warner comet prize of
800. There are six comets now visible,
including Encke's periodic comet, which
had the good fortune to discover last
evening. 1t was so excessively faint that
have no fear that it has been seen else
where, though every large telescope has
been searching for it. There is no prize
for this discovery, as it was expected, but
Mr.. Warner excepted the 1916 comet for
the reason that, having been seen but
once, and so long ago, great interest at
taches to it, as it will add another to the
list of long period comets"
