Henry Maule, OF Philadelphia, is
now recognized as the leading seed
man of the United States. He be-
gan life in small way, and owes
his success to bringing scientific
methods to bear on his business.
Anybody can raise seeds, but some
seeds grow and produce large re-
suits, while others produce what
the housewife calls ''skimpy" veg
etables. Maule handles his seeds
just as good breeders of horses and
cattle breed stock. In other words,
he breeds seeds, selecting only the
best, and hybridizing his plants and
crossing until he produces the best
possible results. The seeds he
sends out only come from the larg-
est fruits, plants and vegetables.
BY his careful, intelligent expert
ments he has produced cabbages
that weigh so pounds to the head,
onions that weigh five pounds, and
tomatoes that weigh six. He has,
by years Of experiment, bred his
vegetables up to the standard. He
has also inaugurated a system OF
prizes. Those who send him the
largest of each variety of vegeta-
bIes raised from his seeds, get
prizes all the way from $25 to $3.50,
cash. He distributed $1,000 this
way last year. Mr.. Maxwell, of
Pyramid Lake, got $50 premium
last year from Maule.
Several people in this city have
tried his seed, and now will get no
other. He sells fifteen fine monthly
roses for 81. They are simply
mopsterss -,
We write this at the request of
parties who have tried his seeds,
and it is in no way an advertise
ment. His address is III. NJ. Maule,
I'LL Filbert street, Philadelphia,
Penn.

An Editors sharp Reply q
q Silufian.

q Silurian.
There are some old fossils in Oro-
vile, as there are in all towns, that
are dead weights on the community.
One of them, referring to the Mer-
curry, was heard to say this morn
ing: "What will that damned
fool say next in his paper?" We
have this to say: The sooner that
such hide-bound, clese-fisted old
fossils as you are pass in their
checks, the better it will be for the
community. When we took charge
Of the Mercury We could have
bought all the land in Eastern
Butte at $3.50. Now it is selling
for 500. Oroville seemed to be on
the down grade. Now 1t has a
brighter future than any town in
Central California. The population
is rapidly increasing, business is
improving and people are wild to
get a home in our splendid locality.
But all this time fossils have cursed
the Mercury for urging the claims
OF this locality to pre-eminence in
every advantage for home making.
Facts now prove that the Mercury
has been, and now is right. To
hades with such fools.-Oroville
Mercury.

STEWARDS vvopK.
The Carson Mint, and the PUB
ilc Building.

WASHINGTON, January 22.-Sena.
tor Stewart of Nevada is proving
himself man of strong COM
mon sense, and is winning the adj
miratlon of men who differ with
him politically. Up to yesterday the
Senator was in favor of the appoint
ment of Parker as melter and re-
finer Of the Carson City Mint, to
succeed DR.. futile. Mr.. Parker is
Republican, but skilled work
man, having been assistant melter
for several years past.
In view OF the Presidents policy
to appoint the best men obtainable,
and no Democrat having the requis-
lite qualification Offering as a can
didate, there seems to be a strong
probability Of Mr.. Parker's appoint
ment.
On Saturday. however, Senator
Stewart was informed from r. H.
Dennis, for many years a resident of
Nevada, and Democrat, and
thoroughly acquainted with the
necessities of the office, would ac-
cept the appointment of melter and
refiner. He at once notified the
President that Mr.. Dennis was a
skilled workman, an honorable
man and entitled to the place. His
action has received the warmest
from to whom it
has become known.
The squandering Of $4,000 of
appropriation made by Congress to
erect a public building at Carson,
New, seems to have brought down
the wrath of the Republican press
on the present Administration. In
view of the facts, this causes no
little amusement here. The money
was squandered whilst Mifflin Bell
OF Pennsylvania was supervising the
regime who were allowed to hold
over little too long. When his
methods, however, were discovered,
he was promptly decapitated and
Mr.. Frefet, the present incumbent,
was appointed.
Senator Stewart is cognizant of
the fact that Bell was a Republican
and squandered the sum found to
be missing. He openly denounces
The latter's administration, and
congratulates the President on hav-
ing found a proper man to fill the
important Office which Republic
an disgraced.

Ex-State officers G. S. Young

to sell for less than an even quarter
million. Messrs. Abrams, Mil
Ter, Captain Melville Curtis of Aus
tin and other Nevadans have visited
the colony lands, and are enthusiast
tic over the romantic scenery there
and the fertility of the soil. Num-

SUICIDE OF MRS. CLINE.
She Dies OF n Dose of Nor.
phine Yesterday Morn

i p0l0e 1CStcrO0y MOrn-
Yesterday morning at about 8
O'Clock Mrs. NJ. Glover. discovered
that Mrs. Jennie Cline who was
stopping athar house was in a dying
condition. She informed Mr.. Clio
yer who was in the back yard and
when the two went again to the
room they found her dead.
Her death was SO sudden that
the Coroner decided to hold an in
quest.
After the jury had been SUM-
moned Mrs. Glover discovered the
remains of something which had
been burned in the stove. As the
stove had been cleaned out the day
before and there had been no FIRE in
it since, this was deemed a sus-
picious circumstance, and the rub
bish, when examined, was found to
contain the tin foil cover of a NOR

crumpled up with the tin foil, such
IS the U. s. law compels to be
wrapped about all poison bottles.
George Thaxter, who was on the
jury, testified that it was the cover
of a morphine bottle, and s. M.
stood for sulphate morphine. Doc
tors Lee and Dawson made an au-
topsy. DIR. Lee testified that there
was every evidence of death from
unnatural causes. There was no
evidence whatever of heart dis
ease. Her death was the result of
internal poison. DR.. Dawson, who
had assisted at the autopsy, corrob-
grated DIR. Lee. The Coroner
showed the jury letter addressed
to the public, signed by the de-
ceased. 1t was a disjointed state
ment of real or imaginary troubles,
and stated that she was tired of
life and died OF a broken heart.
The following verdict was render
ed:
We the jury empannelled and
sworn to investigate into the cause
of the death of Mrs. Jennie w.
Cline do find that the said Mrs.
Jennie w. Cline was born in the
State of New York: that she was
about 55 years of age and that
she came to her death in Carson
City, Ormsby County, Nevada on the
25th day of January A. d. 1888, by
her own hand and from the testi-
mony adduced that her said death
was caused by chloroform taken
with suicidal intent.

The Washington critic., 1888-08-17

The Critic believes in giving the Eek
ington road u fair chance with its over
head wire system. The danger is inap-
prcciabc on the route proposed. The cX-
pertinent is well worth making 1t has
been successfully demonstrated else
whcrc, and there is no occasion to doubt
its entire practicability here. The pur-
pose of the Ecldngton Company is to
build one of the model railways of the
country, and they have the capital and
energy to carry out their undertaking.
II is much To be hoped that no factious
opposition will be permitted to stand in
the way of their commendablc under
taking. If the wheels of progress are to
be stopped simply because of the re-
mote contingency of somebody's getting
hurt, we may as well conclude that
American enterprise has reached its
acme and that bars should be put up to
its further development The Senator
from Vermont is behind the times on
this question

We wait for the bugle; the night dews are

At the sound OF the bugle each comrade

Ana SORROWS and losses and cares fade
When that life-glvlng signal prOclams TIE

Though the blyonac OF age may put Ice In

Though tho comrades OF yesterdays march

Since General Shcridan's death /
have heard several suggestions MS to the
ways and means by which an appro-

should he taken in hand by the Grand

A great deal has been done in the way

Washington has become the monumental

umcnts erected here, the Army of the
Potomac has none.

In view of that great fact, why moi
erect a building in Washington that
shall be suitable monument to Tho
vulor, patriotism and fidelity of thu
| American soldiers from Washington Il

in the late Civil Wharf.-The private
soldier as well as the general.
Washington has long been in need o.
u hall suitable for national conventions
and other large assemblies. In mem
orial building there could be such ,
hall. There also might be created I
! military library and y war museum
where could be placed portraits ant
| busts of great American soldiers, TIN
Washington and Grant relics, and TIL
Union and Confederate battle flags"
Congress paid for the statue of Ad
miral Farragut. Congress has assiste,
in the erection of other statues in Wash
ington-I am not prepared to say t
what extent, but it assisted in the cree
tion Of the statue to General Thomas
If the men who twenty-five years ag
were engaged in battle would undertalS
the erection of such a building as pre-
posed-a monument to AppomattoX-
believe that Congress would certainl
aid the old soldiers in carrying out $
laudable and patriotic n purpose
