the habit without polluting the air and annoy

cigarette smoker not only tr f1es with his own
health and mind, but is a nuisance to other
people. "What shall We do with the negro?"
and "what shall we do about the coming deficit

The annual meeting OF this board will be

l. As to the best methods OF extending and

b. Sabsidizing traus- oceanic cable lines.
o. Upon proper plan for an united Pacific

These are topics of vital interest and
upon each Of them the sentiment of the Pa

materially in the appeals which our repre-

budded peach trees from Vancouver. After the
trees were set out the buds died. ieav. ng him
what he considered worthless seedlings. The
trees, as year after year went past. grew apace,
but bore no fruit. For eighteen years they stood

one of the trees bore one very large, luscious
peach. Next year, the two other trees CON-

the time they were set out until they arrived 81

feet high and loaded with large, handsome
looking peaches They are of the cling stone
variety and when matured are of excellent
favor and very juicy. Mr. Kent says he often
thought of cutting them down but concluded to
wait and see what they would terminate In.

There is an element of probability at least in
the explanation offered By Senator Pettigrew, of
