TRAxsrLANrINn rnrrs

Autumn is decidedly the best season
for transplanting trees, says A. B. Allen
III the New York Tribune, and the
earlier this is done the better, for the
reason that the soil is so warm then that
the roots will begin growing i'm
mcdiatcly. and establish the tree so well
in the ground that the rude winter winds
will not shake it, but leave all well pre-
pared to push forward vigorously in
spring. Trees may he benefcially planted
much earlier than is generally supposed,
even before the foliage is frosted, if the
leaves are first pulled from their branches.
Bnt the doing of this is so laborious that
except for particular purpose it may
not be rcsortcd to. AS soon, however,
as struck by frost, even if not shed from
the trees, transplanting can begin with
perfect safety, as the leaves then cease
drawing nutriment from the roots. In
planting, be careful to extend every root
at full longih; sprinkle the soil well be-
tween them, then tramp it solidly over,
and little wider around the trunk than
the branches spread out on the top.

strong current Of air which, as it es-

LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS.
Expected Reduction OF Wages Plain
Talk to Chief Arthur.

CHICAGO, June THE journal saws
There is trouble in the ranks of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers.
Chief Arthur is candidate for reelection,
and as such has been making quite a
canvass of the various lodges of the
brotherhood. Last week Il secret meeting
for this purpose was held in this city.
There were upward of 200 members
present, and with their defeat by "Q", the
momentarily expected reduction of wages
on the Santa Fe, and the recent discharge
blythe Alton of large number of brother
hood men fresh in their minds, they were
not at all satisfied with the chiefs optim-
istic speech. The members of the
general grievance committee, addressing
Chief Arthur, said: "A reduction of
wages is expected to be made before long
on number of western roads. Such ac-
ton we do not propose to accept, because
we do not believe it justified. We there
fore desire to know whether in the event
OF a reduction being ordered, despite our
opposition, you would sanction strike. "
Chief Arthur did not like the question
but saw there was no help for it. He
answered: Under no condition of cir
cumstances of which can conceive shall
| ever sanction another strike" "But,
sir, suppose a reduction OF wages should
occur on the Union Pacific system, where
the brotherhood is SO thoroughly equipped
as to obtain the granting of anything they
ask, wouldn't you authorize a reduction
to be resisted without a moments hesita-
tion?" The chief replied: "No, would
not. l trust and believe that no reduc-
ton of wages is to be made, but should
there be and the men follow my advice
they will accept the reduction. | shall
never sanction another strike" Chief
Arthur stopped and the meeting ad-
journed. Murmurs of discomfort have
been heard ever since it was known that
Chief Arthur had a strong dislike for
strikes, but that his conservatism was as
extreme as his speech showed it to be has
never before been so strongly demon
strated.

Washington Irving Bishops secret died
with him
Not only today and tomorrow, but until
another such as he arises, will discussion con-
tinue as to the character of the mysterious
power which he seemingly possessed. Brown,
the Philadelphia, who twelve years ago was
the first to claim the title of mind reader, and
Wallace L. Hight, the ambitious but only
partially successful emulator of Bishop, were
TRANSPARENCY of that not uncommon class OF
performers who ere best described as mus

exhibitions, which they found Improbable
because they invariably failed in their per-
formances unless they happened to select
subject so nervous and impresSionable that
he would unavoidably lead them to the hidden
object But with Bishop it was far differ
ent. 1t appeared to make little difference
with him as to who was the medium of his eX-
periments, and while many of them are ex-
plainable on the easily understood and demon
strable theory of muscle reading, there are
many strange things accredited to him which
are not explainable upon that hypothesis.
Those versed in the art of necromancy diff
fer as to whether Bishop was merely trick
ster or an abnormally gifted being, endowed
with a sense whose keen perceptibility is not
within the comprehension of meaner mortals.
The testimony of those who have been
closely associated with the dead man has an
interesting bearing on this question. Dixey,
the comedian, whose guest Bishop was at the
Lambs club in New York. where he found his
end, has long been intimate with him. Dixey
is himself necromancer of ability. In card
tricks and other sleight of hand performances
he has few superiors even among professional
prestidigitateurs and he frequently amazes
his friends by his adeptness as a blindfolded
muscle reader. He has consequently studied
Bishops marvels with much interest. "Bish-
op," he says, Twas really a great man. l
mean that seriously. l never expect to meet
his equal in his peculiar phase of what must
have been an abnormal mental development
While he never publicly figured as a sleight
of hand performer, he was one of the great
est living experts of that class, and much of
what he did which was most mysterious was
entirely due to consummate trckery. Yet
