A SENSIBLE MOVEMENT.

The Meteor notes with approval
the combinations among growers
formed in various neighborhoods
to ship In car loads and distribute
their produce themselves. By
this action they will get the bene-
hit OF carload rates--a saving of
$40 per carload the cars as thev
should be loaded, avoid dividing
shipments among a host of agents
and otherwise benefit themselves
by concentration. If this action
is to be the order of the year,
this paper would call the atten-
tion to the Importance and urgen-
cy of Wide distribution from the
outset. Ifthe old policy of break
ing down the most accessible mar
kets before general distribution
commences is to be pursued again
this year, there will be a large
number of growers who will break
with the markets. Every reach
able and inviting market, from
Denver to Boston, should be util-
lied in the commencement of
shipping, and a constant success
sion of shipments made to them,
and thus, by this system of wide
distribution, keep each market in
a healthy condition of price and
demand. This paper cannot con-
ceive why these great centres Of
population and consumption
Philadelphia and New York-can-
not be advantageously used with
the unsurpassed facilities enjoyed
Tor annihilating the danger of long
distances with the safety of re-
frigerator cars. If fruits and
vegetables of Florida--equidistant
from them with Crystal Springs
can be put on the markets OF
Philadelphia and New York in
sound and saleable condition,
there is no obstacle to the attain
ment of these results preventing
us from deriving the benefits they
afford in good prices maintained
over a comparative long period oI
time. Last year Philadelphia
and New York markets held up
paying prices for over four weeks,
and as the freight rates are liberal
and encouraging an attempt should
be made to supply them with oul
produce and thus extend the
range of consumption. And
again, there is Minneapolis, the
great distributing point for the
far northwest and the British
possessions, which can be advan,
tageously used as a safety valve
for accumulating produce. 1t is
lpar excellence, one of the bes
markets in the country, supply
ing the local demand of quartz.
OF million of people besides ,
tributary country Of immense ex
tent and large population. Th,
question of distribution is on,
that must be met with the con
sideration it demands, for upon i
hangs, aye verify, all the law ant

The injuries which parasitic
fungi produce upon their host
plants were described in the Amer
lean Association by A. b. Ssy-
mour. Parasites take away the
nutriment of the plants, killing
or continually absorbing the food
supply OF individual cells and in
juring cell walls. They impair
the power of assimilation, weaken
the physiological power, causing
the formation of spots and of
black molds to obstruct tne pas.
sage of light. Some fungi cause
change of position in their host,
and less favorable exposure. They
provoke abnormal acceleration or
rctardation of growth. with re-
sultant distortion and impaired
vitality. Any part of the plant
may be affected. In many grasses
the entire inhorescence is destroy
ed. Decay is produced in ripe
fruits and valuable plants become
infected with disease from less
valuable ones. The extent of the
injury attributable to any one
cause is hard to determine, be-
cause several causes act together.

Manager Wall returned from New York
last evening. Among other important en-
gagements he made while there for the forth
coming season was that or Barry and Fay in
their latest great comedy success, "McKen-
mas Flirtations." These excellent comedians
have been foremost in their especial line of
Characterization in this country for many
years and the substantial evidence of their
success is the fact that they have amassed
large fortunes. Although of an entirely diff
terent order they are comparable in artistic
status to Robson and Crane, while in their
aptitude for genuine fun -creati ng It is safe to
say they excel their distinguished contempo-
raries. It would be difficult to recall two
actors whose personalities and natural gifts
equal those of Barry and Fay in the special
direction of comedy Characterization pursued
by them. They enter into the spirit of their
work in sober earnest and their very serious
ness makes the charm of their performances.
1t is impossible to con6ne ones expressions
of pleasure to a smile or even a quiet laugh.
They are simply screamingly funny and that
without an effort. In their new comedy,
''McKenna's Filtration" they have better
opportunities than in any of their former
pieces and the success with which it has been
met wherever it has been played leaves no
room to doubt its excellence. They will be
seen at the New Haven Opera House Friday
and Saturday evenings of next week and at
the matinee Saturday. The sale of seats will
begin next Tuesday.

The Patterson, N. j., Daily Press of Aug.

with great deal of applause. The judge is
by no means o stranger in this city; he has
been here on a number of occasions. He was
soldier in the war of the rebellion, and ad-
hered to the Democratic party as long as his
reason and good judgment permitted him to
do SO. He referred to this in opening his
address, saying that he had proclaimed the
principles of the Democracy from every
stump from one end of the State to the other.
He at one time believed that the Industries
of this country were safe in the hands OF the
Democratic party. He referred to the various
platforms of that party in which they main
tanned their allegiance to the interests of
home industries; he did no want to leave the
party, whose interests he had espoused for SO
many years but when he saw that this party
