j. w. Chapel, living just south of
the Santa Fe depot left at this Office
samples of peaches he raised this year
that are as fine as any we have seen
in the state. Peaches can be success
fully raised in this county if proper
care be taken to keep them back in
the spring SO that they will not be
killed by the late frosts. A friend
tells us that this can be successfully
done by mulching around the trees in
the winter, while the frost is in the
ground, the mulching keeping the
ground cool longer in the spring and
thus keeping back the trees until after
the visits of the late frosts. Mr..
Chapel has our thanks for the favor
of his lucieus fruit.

"THAT's A GOOD ONE, MY SON."
Bridget Heffernan Acts as Second for
Her Boy i'm the Prize Ring.

Jack Heffernan and John Carter, two pugil-
lists residing at Mill Creek, Pa, engaged in
desperate prize fight Saturday afternoon
Carter, when stripped, weighed 100 pounds.
and Heffernan 159. Pete Henley looked after
Heffernan and John Richards acted in the same
capacity for Carter.
Among the spectators present was Mrs.
Bridget Heffernan, mother Of one of the princi-
pals. Carter objected to the old woman's
presence but she refused to go to her home
She is big, burly woman of sixty years, and
she insisted that she wanted to see the battle
and wouldn't bulge an inch for any man in the
crowd.
Il want to see what is in that lad of mine,"
she continued. HE ought to be pretty good
blood"
Failing to get the woman to go home the
referee ordered the fight to go on. Before two
rounds had been fought it looked as though
Heffernan was beaten, but his mother would
not allow him to give up and she kept cheer
Ing him on and her encouraging words had q
buoyant effect on Heffernan and a correspond
ing depression on Carter. In the seventeenth
round Mrs. Heffernan who previous to this had
found much fault with Henley, her sons
hacker, determined to replace him.
She jumped into the ring amid the cheers of
the crowd. and, forcing Henley to step out, she
took her place by her sons side. Heffernan
took IA new lease of life under his mothers care
and seemed to redouble his efforts to win, as
she frequently shouted at the top of her voice:
Now best him." That's good one my son. ~
Give him another in the same spot" That's
agood boy" Don't disgrace the Heffernans"
Carter began to weaken now, and in the
twenty-tifth round failed to come to time. Mrs.
Heffernan embraced her boy who was covered
with blood, and, taking her handkerchief off
her head, gave three cheers for the Heffernan
family. The purse was for 800.

COOKED BY A METEOR.
A Very Large Story From Mississippi
Farm.

At the home Of Martin Kittringham, Q large
planter, near Monticello, Miss, there was eaten
Sunday q dinner the cooking Of which was
unique in ancient and modern history. A
large, glowing hot meteor passed over the town
shortly after 10 o'clock Sunday morning. and
from the comparative slowness of its motion
and its downward tendency it had clearly lost
most of the force which was propelling it, Par
ties abroad were much alarmed, thinking it
about to fall upon them, for it was scarcely 100
yards above the steeples of the churches. 1t
passed over the town. however, and fell In the
pasture of Mr.. Kittringham, who lives about ~
miles east of Monticello. In this pasture Mr..
kittringham has or had. large hsh pond,
which he had stocked with trout and perch,
and the meteor fell as plump into the pond as
If 1t had been fired at it by some dead snot In
another world.
The red hot stone struck the water with a
loud hiss and soon converted the entire volume
into steam, of course killing and cooking the
fish at the same time. Mr.. Nottingham and
his hands went running to the spot when they
saw the meteor fall and found the fish thrown
out on the ground, and on examination saw
that they were thoroughly cooked. upon which
Mr.. Kittringham had his men to secure as many
of them as they could reach with long poles,
for it was impossible to approach the still white
hot mass.
Invitations were at once issued and large
number of friends of Mr.. Nottingham sat down
with him to banquest prepared as banquet

1T CAN CATCH MUSIC.
Experiments at Hartford With a Fa-
nous Washington Machine.

From the Hartford Courant
Some interesting experiments were made at
the first regiment armory in connection with
the graphophone. For the first time in the
machines history it was set to record the
music produced by brass band. Expert
ments have repeatedly been made with the
phonograph, which is designed more especially
for musical and the louder sounds The graphic
phone, designed and adjusted with a smaller
cylinder with reference especially to the human
voice, had never been subjected to the test of
music of brass band Directly in front of the
feet long and with base about foot in diam
eter. The design was that as much Of the
sound as possible should be driven into the
machine. First a flute was played almost
into the mouth of the cone. The sound was
produced almost perfectly. When tubes con-
Meeting with the machine were placed at
the hearers ears the notes we're almost as
loud as those originally produced. Similar ex-
periments were tried with clarionet, a baritone
horn and cornet Results from the last instru-
ment were especially gratifying. In all cases
the tunes played were easily recognizable. and
the machine brought out each note with pre-
clsIon and without particle of deviation from
the original sound. About o'clock Colts
full band was present and the men gathered
four or five minutes at a time The result
proved that the machine, if properly rugged,
would easily accommodate itself to band music.
The notes of the various instruments could
easily be detected and the tunes were fully
and correctly reproduced. 1t was found that
to produce the best results the graphopbone
should be rugged with a cone about five feet
across the base, instead of one, constructed of
some material not so dead as tin and placed
about fifteen feet from the musicians.
