General Washington News.
WASHINGTON, July 8l.-The state de-
partment has received cable dispatch
reporting the conviction by the consular
court at Tamatave, Madagascar, Of
Capt. L. Der. Duverge, French adj
vcnturer and American citizen, Of kill
ing Victor F. w. Stanwood, the United
States consular agent at Audakabe,
Madagascar. The dispatch stated that
Duyerge had been convicted Of man
slaughter and sentenced to ten years inn
prisonmens and to pay fine. He viii
be brought TO the United States to serve
out the sentence.
Dnverge's Career.
Capt. Leon de RATHER Duverge served
with distinction in Massachusetts, regi.
ment during the civil war. Some years
ago he settled in Baltimore, where he ar.
rived in 1891, as captain of the yacht
Nakomis, owned by z. NJ. Padelford, OF
that city.
He had strong political backing in
Massachusetts, and desired to be appointed
consul at Tamatave, the principal port in
the island of Madagascar. The incum-
bent Of that post, however, was too
strongly intrenched in his position to be
removed, and Capt. Duverge finally con-
sented to accept the post at st. Paul de
Loando, on the west coast Of Africa. A
few years later he was heard from as q
colonel in the army of Madagascar.
III Feeling Against stanwood.
The captain was next heard from in
Paris, where he published book on
Madagascar, in which he brought
charges against Mr.. Victor StanwOOd,
who was consular agent in Madagascar,
an Office for which Duverge had been an
unsuccessful applicant. Ill feeling fol-
losed, which terminated in the killing
of Stanw0od by Duverge In November
last. The passage In the book which led
to the quarrel was as follows: THE
most illustrious Victor f. w. Stanwood,
the consular agent of the United States,
spends his days there in kingly fashion,
stealing right and left, without any fear
OF punishment.
The Crime.
After Duyerge's return to Paris,
anxiety to open up the gold mines on
the western coast of Madagascar, which
had not been worked by the Hovas, led
him again to visit this country and he
succeeded in enlisting some friends in
Boston to 60 into the enterprise with
him and the fine American schooner
Solitaire was chartered, provisioned and
manned for the voyage. But the only
result was a quarrel in which Stanwood
interfered as a peacemaker, whereupon
Duverge turned upon and killed him.
The assassin was made prisoner by
Commander McGowan, of the Swatara,
who also secured the witnesses to the
affray. They were all taken to Tama-
taye. where Duverge was placed on trial
before John p. Campbell, the United
States consul, with the result stated.

For the accommodation of all who desire to
witness the Inauguration of President-elect
Harrison, the b d o r r Co, will sell eXcurs-
ion tickets to Washington from all points on
its lines at one fare for the round trip. Tick
cts will be sold March LIST to 4th. inclusive and
will be valid for return passage until March
18th, inclusive. TIE Il & o is the shortest and
most direct route to Washington from all
points touched by its lines. 1t has more track
and yard room at Washington than any 9TH
er road and consequently more facilities for
the prompt movement of trains and the ex-
peditious handling of large passenger bust
ness than any other line.
The B & o. handled an immense passenger
traffic at the Inauguration of Cleveland with
out delay and without injury to a single pas
senger.
Its facilities have been greatly augmented
since that time and it is in position to give
more satisfactory service than any line touch
ing Washington.

Good Shedding means business for
Oakland.
1t would be hard to estimate the
benefit of a few weeks good shedding
to business generally.
A good many business changes are
heard of throughout the county.
The people of Garrett are certainly
much interested in the proposed new
railroad up the Youghiogheny river,
from Confluence to Oakland. We
believe the time is coming when such
a road will be built, and we also have
reason to think that the projectors of
such a roed would receive much en-
couragement from the people. I'm
fortunately our people are too poor
to give much financial aid; money
with the people of Garrett is gener-
ally a scarce article. 1t keeps most
of our citizens busy to make ends
meet. Capitalists we have none, and
however anxious TO secure such road
our people may be, to give proper
financial aid is beyond their means.
We hear it reported that the projec-
tors of the road make it contingent
upon the furnishing of the cross.ties
for the road bed. We hope this is a
mistake, for such conditions for the
people of the section adjoining or
anyways near is an impossibility
almost. Should such conditions be
insisted upon, more general scheme
of assistance will have to be inaugu.
gurated. Whether Garrett county
would be willing 10 take hold of the
matter would depend on many cir
cunstances indeed. 1t would first
have to be established beyond doubt
that the rad is feasible one, and
that the OriginatOrs Of the road are
working in good faith and mean bus
ness. The people of Oakland want
the road, and will do all to encourage
the matter that in reason could be
asked for. The people of the county
need the road nothing would add so
much to the value of our land gen.
orally as such a road through the
county. The country through which
it would pass is said to be rich in tim
Der and minerals, the development
of which would add many thousands
to the wealth of the county. In its
train would come, we believe, many
blessings. 1t would mean once again
good roads and cool schools. From
one of the poorest we would become
one of the richest counties in the state.

Prune the Orchard in February.

There are other reasons for pruning
in winter after the severe weather is
past, than because farmers have more
time at that season of the year. Dur
ing the latter part of winter and
early spring of most seasons in our
climate the roots of trees are gather
ing and celebrating food material
which at natures summons will be
sent to the worthless branches as
well as those we wish to retain. BY
early pruning, therefore. none of this
valuable material is lost. Each spring
tree starts about as much foliage as
Will work up into new wood or fruit,
and if in the midst of the season these
leaves are largely removed by prun-
ing the tree is permanently injured.
All severe pruning shOrtens the life
of the tree, and, with the exception
of the peach, if properly trained
when young they need less use of the
saw and knife than generally sup.
posed. Downing, the best American
author on fruit trees. says they should
be allowed to take their natural form,
The whole efforts of the primer going
no further than to take cut all weak
and crowded branches" If large
limbs must be removed because of
past neglect or improper training,
cover the wound with coat of thick
shellac varnish.
The training of tree from the
time it is set in the orchard till of
bearing age is entirely another mat
ter and should in no way be con-
founded with the after pruning. To
properly train our trees we must use
imagination, not sight. see the
branches yet to be, not those that
are. AS the trunk never lengthens,
if you want the trees in your orchard
to branch five feet from the ground,
the limbs below that point must be
removed one or two at time. To
prevent their becoming large before
removing Keep their ends cut back
so as to be force the growth into those
which are to be permanent. The
same is true if you want the branches
to start from the main stem, each
about foot above another. For easy
picking of the fruit, some sorts might
be topped, perhaps, and made to
grow more spreading, while those
too dropping in habit may be correc-
ted by removing the lower branches
near an upward shoot. Never allow
the main stem to divide into one or
more nearly equal shoots, but pinch
or cut all but one back, causing them
to become branches; otherwise you
may see your tree ruined by sleet or
a load of fruit. Finally, never grow
a root sprout longer than your eye
first catches sight of it. nor limb
which is not to be permanent after it
is required to furnish sufficient leaf
surface to the young tree.

We are sadly in need of money to

$3.50 to $500, and number of them

to our needs or their obligation. All
we ask of you is to do unto us as you
would have us do unto you. Attend
to this matter at once. Don't put it
off and say that what little you owe
won't amount to much, but send
what you owe, or at least part of it.
We are not making this appeal be-
cause ii is customary about this time
of year, but because we need what is
coming to as, and there is no good
reason that we should not have what
is ours.

An old copy of the Boston Post.
lying before US, contains this perth
nent counsel for writers for the press:
Communication should be brief.
and there are several reasons for this.
In the first place, newspaper space
Is valuable. The modern newspaper
is never troubled with the old-time
complaint of needing something to
fill up The EDITORS scalpel Is con-
stantly reeking from the slaughter Of
live news matter and interesting mis-.
cellany. Short communications are
much more likely to find readers
than long ones. and unless they are
to be read it is much better not to
publish them. More contributions
Can be represented where the articles
are short than when they are long,
and one man has as strong claim
upon the columns as another, pro-
vided he furnishes as interesting
matter. A short article is usually
more pithy and pointed than a long
one. A subject should have many
ramificaticns to demand more than
half column in a newspaper, while
all that can be saved. even from that
limit, up to a certain point is apt to
be an Improvement. That prince Of
journalists, the late Samuel Bowles,
once apologized for long editorial,
and gave as his excuse lack of time
to write short one. He expressed
an important truth in his usual cpl
grammatic way"

Holiness and Religion.

Rev. w. n. Ogborn in The Friends EXpositor.
We have said, that if the latent
energies in the church of Christ were
only sanctitied and made meet for
the Masters use, what revolution
there would be in all our churches,
and what onward strides in the cap
ture of this world for Christ. But
alas! alas! how many are saying
when ANYTHING of a distinctive re,
ligious work presents itself, "Pray,
have me excused" and where do we
find the efectual remedy? We an
swer, in the search for and obtain
ment Of Christianehoiness. We say
in the search for, ina smuch as this is
the objective point to be aimed at by
all true disciples, and if they follow
the voice of the Spirit, they will
work for the Master while going on
to perfection. We must admit this
from the fact that many are found in
Zion to-day not yet in the enjoyment
of holiness, that are workers in the
Lords vineyard-not that works are
the means of sanctitication flor our
hearts are purified by faith), hut are
essential with faith to maintain our
union with Christ.
But should one ask what il is that
makes us most efIectual as workers,
we at once answer, Holiness of heart.
This leads us to raise the important
question, "What wilt thou have me
to do?" A recent illustration is found
in our charge. A brother was hap
PLY restored to the divine favor last
winter. and short time ago believed
in Jesus for the entire cleansing of
his soul. He has good abilities, and
now the question is coming with
force, What more can do for Jesus?
Oh, if we could but have such in
quiries all along the line, how soon
every department of church work
would be we'll manned, and the
shouts of victory be sounding forth
Holiness and WORK, how insepa-
rable they are! We do not have
occasion to wait and have our
work defined, but we are up and
at something, and not only at it,
but always at it, and that is the spir-
it of Jesus. Look abroad to-day, land
