STEAMBOAT ON FIRE.

Burning of the H. h. Plant on the St
Johns River With Loss of Life.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 3O.-The
steamer II. b. Plant, of the st. Johns
river line, was totally destroyed by fire
yesterday morning at Beresford land
ing. 1OS miles south of Jacksonville.
Three colored men-Elber Mallory,
waiter; Walter Coleman, deck hanu,
and an unknown deck passenger-were
drowned. There were dozen other
passengers and crew Of twenty-three on
board.
The fire was caused by the careless
ness of a man who was filing a lamp
and upset 1t. All on board escaped ex-
cept the three men named.
The captain kept the deckhands back
with revolver until the women and
children got into the boats. People
from the shore aided in the escape Of
the other people on board. The boat
was valued at $4,000.

Black Raspberries.

Black raspberry plants require very
careful handling. The cold drying
winds which so frequently occur during
planting time will seriously injure the
roots in a short time if allowed to strike
them. l endeavor to set the plants as
early in the spring as the ground can be
gotten in good condition for planting.
II deferred later until the young shoots
have attained considerable length there
is danger of breaking them of, and al
though strong healthy plant will gen.
orally throw up another, yet it is later
and not as strong and sometimes fails
to appear altogether. Cover the plants
with about two inches of mellow earth
as fast as dropped. After planting cul-
tivste often enough to keep the ground
mellow and free from weeds. l usually

rows the first year. The one thing about
which l find it most necessary to caution
my men in cultivating. not only rasp-
perries, but strawberries and all small
vines, plants, etc, is to run very close
to the plant, and especially to run very
shallow next to it. generally make it
a point to adjust the cultivatOr myself,

others as l find too many men imagine
that thorough cultivation means deep
cultivation. Where the ground is per-
fectly free from manure, grass roots OF

dirt away from plants, are excellent for
this work as they run shallower as they
approach the plant. from the very form

KEMMLER RESPITED.

The Noted Electrical Execution In Now
York Indefinitely Postponed by q Writ OF
Habeas Corpus-Why Judge Wallace
Granted the Writ
AUBURN, n. ", April 3O.-Judge Wal.
lacS of the United States Circuit Court,
has granted writ of habeas corpus, re-
turnable June II, in the case of Kemm-
Ter, the man condemned to die by cleo
tricity this week. The ground for the
writ is that the act under which the ex-
ecution was to take place is in violation
of the Constitution.
THE JUDGES STATEMENT.
New YORK, April 3O.-Judge Wallace
says that in granting the kemmler ha-
beas corpus writ he upheld the views of
the counsel making the application,
that inasmuch as the case was one of
life and death the questions involved
should be passed upon by the highest
tribunal in the land. The question as
to the validity of the delegation of power
to sheriff to fix the time and circum-
stances of the death of a condemned
man was serious one.
The Judge int mated that the restric-
ton of the liberty of the press was also
question to be considered, but he did
not say positively that this was one Of
the reasons for granting the writ. The
question of the cruelty or unusual nat
ure of the punishment would be copsid-
cred by the Supreme Court.
There were other questions involved,
but the judge did not care to extend the
interview, which was granted at a very
late hour.
Paul d. Craveth, counsel for the West
inghouse Electric Company, stated pos
itively that that company had no part in
the proceedings by which the execution
of Kemmler has been deferred

rouce to q luxurious home. His eyes
are gazing downward, his step Is set to
slow measurement, and no surrounding
event, however thilling, attracts his At
tention. He is bent upon ono supreme
object, the discovery Of treasure in
money or jewelry which may be con-
cealed in a hidden mass that some
pedestrian in the vast pushing and
| swinging tide of humanity may care
lessly have dropped. For over ten years
| this strange man has led the life OF rec
luse. He has never been known to
withhold a lost article his trained eye
has discovered. The police speak OF
him with the utmost respect. As far as
it is known he is believed to be perfect
" honest. He merely works for re-
| ward.
There are other grades of ''finders, ;"
but their game is of a very small order.
Before the street-cleaners have swept
the refuse of the streets into piles OF
rubbish or in the gray of the morning
ere the chiffoniers have started out with
baskets and long hooks, the small-try
finder may be seen inspecting the store
doors or securing the cutters in search
of articles which belated travellers have
dropped in their haste to reach home or
in their maudlin stages. And yet an
Italian finder pays over 81, 500 per week
to this city for the privilege of sorting
over the street sweepings. Their re-
ward is small and the mere question of
seeking a rightful owner never enters
into the thoughts of these street wan
derers.
Others haunt concert rooms, Sixth
avenue dives and certain streets where
gilded vice daunts its gaudy colors in
the face Of men of wild and dissolute
habits, and their ''finds" generally con-
sist of money and jewelry. The latter
finds its way, as rule, to pawn shops
or fence" houses where purchases are
made and no questions are asked.
Still another class of these Industrious
people make the car tracks of the city
their mines of wealth, but the fruits of
their labor are very meager, for the
average car-driver claims this as his pre-
empted land, and he rakeS over the
ground between the iron rails so thor
oughly that there is little left for any
outsider Theaters, bathrooms and the
"L" road trains are watched so carefully
by employees that the professional
FINDERS" occupation is gone almost en-
tirely.

HOW TO BECOME TALL.
An Ingenious Device That Can Be Used

An Ingenious Device That Can Be Used
by the Short People.
Hollow cheeks and wrinkles are awk-
ward things, writes Miss Mantalini in
the Pail Mall Budget. Ladies do their
best to prevent their appearance. The
clever ones seem to be able to ward of
the wrinkles, but hollow cheeks COM
pletely battle their skill. A gentleman
who lives at Islington is providing
ladies whose cheeks are hollow with
small pads. These pads are attached to
natural or artificial teeth by means of
tiny gold springs. The price of a face
pad is trifie heavy, like every thing
else guaranteed to improve the personal
appearance. A pair Of pads costs some
thing like s5. The maker of the face
pad said that gentlemen as we'll as la.
dies are wearing them. One gentleman
had never looked any thing but cadaver.

cheeks are rounded like a cherub's, and
he looks ten years younger. The curl
Gus thing about the face pad is its in
flexibility. 1t is made of the same ma
terial as the case of a set of artificial
teeth.
There is no need for the small person
to be overlooked on account of want of
stature. 1t is possible to add as much
as four inches on to your stature by the
Cremerian boot, designed for the eleva-
ton of the lowly. The invention is an
odd and ingenious one. Instead of tack
ing six inches on to a persons heels,
pair of entirely false feet made of cork
are put into the shoes. When the
wearer gets into them he or she is raised
according to the inches of cork. OF
course, in this invention the original
foot is made to combine with the cork
one under the leather in such a manner
that the line of demarkation is not per-
ceptible. The size of the foot is sacrf-
feed, it is true, and a larger boot is nec-

then, without warming, drew a revolver

Milk as q beverage.

writer in the Ohio Farmer. When the

commodated the seventy-fve mich
COWS that composed the colossal dairy,
and garnering the hay crop to feed this
big herd through winter was necessari-
ly a large task. That the men might
hold out we'll in the hot sun, cider and
cold sweet milk was copiously drank.
Reduced to low temperature and par
taken of in its rich purity, it made a
kingly drink, that cooled the system

pounding beverage more nutritiOusly

purifier of any substance and emphat-
ically so of milk. But an evil is only
aggravated if the fluid is exposed to a
foul atmosphere. In the vicinity of
many dairy barns, where milk is al
lowed to set over night, there are num-
berless causes of stencil. Old manure
heaps are being opened and carted away
to the fields; pig stys give forth I'M
savory odors the year around, and fire.
quently gross neglect in the manage
ment of water closets adds it's quota to
the foul vapors. To aerate milk, or to
allow it to stand in such air is utterly
futile in an endeavor to preserve it's

pie may be jeopardized by the milk

Keeping srock.


BY This II Meant Keeping It h Goed
Condition.
Stock that is not kept in good condi-
ton. and if it is young stock in growing
condition, is kept at loss. If cattle,
swine, sheep or horses are not in good
condition, all the time there is loss
that never can be made up for once
down in condition not only is there just
so much time lost but it always requires
more food and better care to get the ami
NAL up that would be required If it were
kept up all the time. Usually falling
off in condition may be traced to feed
ing, though not always. insufficient
food or food of poor quality or of the
wrong kind is fertile cause OF falling
of in condition. 1t is not enough that
an animal should have all that it will
eat 1t must have the right kind of
food. Many an animal that is SO fat
it can hardly stand is literally starved
The fat forming foods that it has had
do not give it strength, and the system
Graves something it has not got If the
young animal is not kept growing, great
injury is done. 1t must be we'll and
properly fed to develop it, and if it is
not so fed it will never make the best
mature animal, whatever may be the
care given it afterward.
1t is clearly not the part of wisdom,
however, for owners of pedigreed herds
to deter the general return to the
breeding of a better class of cattle,
now one of the absolute necessities of
the near future. by any unreasonable
marking up of values. The hard road
their customers have had to travel
should be given due consideration; but,
on the other hand, users Of bulls can
not close their eyes to the fact that the
falling away of the demand for pure
bred sires for steer-breeding purposes
has sacrificed more pedigreed herds
than can be replaced by the most active
kind of work for years to come. The
elements upon the open ranges of the
West, the sharp knives of butchers,
spayers and castrators in the older
States, together with the undermining
influences of despair and cold neglect
on the part of owners to be seen upon
thousands and thousands of good farms
throughout the length and breadth of
the great corn and bluegrass belts,
have made such appalling inroads in
the available supply of desirable cattle
that it is an interesting matter for
speculation as to how the quality is to
be restored without a rebound in the
values of the best-pedigreed herds be-
yond all present anticipations.
That there is at least ten years Of
steady prosperity in store for the breed
ers of pure-bred cattle of the best and
most useful types, while the rehabili-
tatiOn of the demoralized cattle stocks
of the country is going on, is the DELHI
crate judgment of conservative men.
The panic has done its worst. The
liquidation is practically complete.
There is not an element in the present
situation but argues returning strength.

ORIGINAL PACKAGE DECISION

TOPEKA, Kan, April STATIONERY
General L. B. Kellogg took a serious
view OF the decision of the United States
Supreme Court ON the original package
question. He says: Il am surprised
and disappointed at the decision. It
simply repudiates, as interpret it, the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court of forty years ago and which has
been the law during that period. The
court then held that New Hampshire
party could not ship into Vermont, con-
trary to the Prohibitory law in force in
the latter State, barrel of gin bearing

what the people of the State had right
10 expect from the Supreme Court of the
United States. 1 hope that there may
be something hedg ng in the decision
and that it is not as sweeping in its effect
as it now looks and l therefore am
anxious to see the full text The dis
senting opinion is clearer than the de-
cision itself and think that the Justice
who gave that opinion held the correct
view of the law and the question.
1.-The decision, as read it, is,a party in
this Site may bring into the State from
other States liquor in original packages
and can sell the same to a second party
without liability to arrest under our
Prohibitory law"
Then, General, you think that it af-
fects Kansas and that it will make it
possible to sell liquor in original pack
ages in this State?"
Il am sorry to say it, but believe it
does that very thing. fear that it is a
serious, if not fatal blow to prohibit
ton. Our law has never attempted to
prohibit the importation of liquors into
this State, for the trainers of the law
we'll knew that it could not be done I'M
der the statutes of the United States
regulating the traffic of commerce be-
tween the States. We have only sought
to prevent the sale of such liquor. This
decision says in substance that we can
not prevent the sale of such liquors as
long as they remain in the unbroken,
original packages"
