Many celery growers have complain
ed this year Of a celery blight. Byron
d. Halstead, of Rutgers college, writes
to Garden and Forest: The presence
of the blight is evidenced by yellowish
green irregular patches upon the folia-
ge. These spots shortly turn to brown
color, and finally the entire leaf, in the
worst cases, droops, dries up and dies.
Ifone of the diseased patches was ex-
amined under the microscope it would
be found that small brown tufts of mi
mute filaments protruded from nearly
every one of the thousands of BREATH
ing pores in each square inch of the
epidermis. Upon the tips of the thread
constituting the tuft are borne long,
slender spores, which fall away when
ripe, and are carried about by the winds
when dry and by the winds during wet
weather. As the feeding threads of
the fungus are throughout the SUBJ
stance of the infested plant before they
come to the surface to bear their spores
it is useless to try and affect cure of
foliage already badly infested.
The most natural thing to do is to
pick off the worse than worthless leaves
and burn them. This will do some
thing to hold the trouble in check. In
the second place some substance can
be placed upon the diseased parts to
kill the spores, and at the same time
upon the healthy plants or parts of
plants to prevent the termination of
the spores, that may lodge there. From
the nature of the trouble and o know
ledge of what certain chemicals have
done with other parasitic fungi, it is
reasonable to conclude that the COM
pound of cupric carbonate in ammonia
would prove agreat assistance in rid
ding truck farms of this serious pest.
The formula for the grape rot found
most effective is, three ounces Of the
copper carbonate in one quart of am-
monia and diluted to twenty-five gal
Ions of water.
1t is well-known fact that some var
ieties are less susceptible than others
the "white plumen has an excellent
record, as being comparatively free
from the disease. The recent heavy
rains that have fallen throughout the
country will prove great blessing to
the celery crop. They will infuse new
vigor into the plants and at the same
time check the growth of the blight for
while, for it seems to be q lover of
dry weather. Shading the young plants
with lathe or boards high above the
rows has sometimes saved the crop.

The poor man who is unfortunate
enough to have sickness in his family
has been about the first person to feel
the effects of the tariff act. Since the
passage Of the Mckinley bill the prices
of most drugs that are necessary in a
sick room have gone up sky high.
About the only drug that Is noS direct
ly affected by the bill is quinine, and
that commodity Is on the free list.
Prices have been elevated, since the
passage Of the bill from 10 to 33 per
cent. This is true of every article sold
In drug store that comes from for
eign lands. The domestic drugs will
be influenced indirectly, because, by q
general understanding among druggists
the increase In prices will be averaged
and distributed among the different
foreign and domestic articles. For in
stance, all brushes, perfumeries, and
toilet soaps have been increased from
10 to Is per cent. OF course, the per-
centage will be equalized by distribute
ing 1t among the different drugs. The
consumer will have to pay for all this.

replied that Graves required another
shot. Col. SchSumbourg said:-1

and Crittenden, but it resulted in
nothing -as aseFe. =. tsl.st

Mr. Wise came up and asked how
Mr.. Cilley was. He then asked if
Mr.. Graves might see him, gave
my consent. Graves, Wise and Crit
tenden came up part way, but turned
back oefo-e reaching the spot where
Cilley lay. .-.u
I'VE then wrapped Cilley's body in

Washington City, on Third street be-

The result of the duel caused great

1T yet remains to be explained
what caused Graves to send his chal-
lenge to sCilley. When Col. James
Watson Webb. of New York, heard
of Cilley's speech in the House,
wherein the charges of bribery were
referred to, he came to Washington
and sent Graves to Cilley with a
note. Cilley said / do not know
Mr.. Webb and do not want note
from him. Graves reported this re.
mark in the Kentucky mess, of which
Henry Clay was president. Clay said:
The d-nt Yankee thinks it is q chai.

1t is mere note of inquiry Graves
went back and called Cilley aside
and told him that the note was not

receive the note, and Graves left, say
ing that the refusal left him in very
unpleasant position. When Graves,
reported Cilley's refusal at the Ken

of the mess, said: well, Graves, you

The Canadian Pacific.

From the San Francisco Call.
The gigantic railroad com animation
that is apparently about to be con-
summated leads contemporary to
the conclusion that the Canadian
Pacific Railway is all that stands be-
tween the people of the United States
and a considera BILE increase in rates.
1t is intimated that the San Francis
CO Chamber of Commerce committed
an error in resolving that the laws
which prevent ships from doing BUSH
ness between American ports should
deny to foreign rail way the privilege
denied to foreign ships. Remedies
which throw American business into
foreign channels should be regarded
with disrrust. Such is lot the way
to effect q cure. A government that
can not handle domestic questions
without calling in the aid of foreign
nations, con fesses its inefficiency. A
very poor way to keep American
roads from charging exOrbitant rates
over their routes is to procure trans
pOrtation to be done over foreign
TOuIes anu ny ioreiSu Couipauioss Ill
the event of such con-
sOlidatiOn of railroad interests
as have been foreshadowed, our
government will be called upon to pro-
tecJ the people from extortion. The
cost of transportation can be ascer-
tanned with sufficient approach to &C
curacy to enable the Government to
establish maximum rates without
danger of injustice to the capital in
vested. The interstate commerce act
demonstrates the ability OF the Cow
eminent to control the most powerful
corporations. The railroad cOmbi-
nation will possibly make the cub
j-ct'on of corporations to the law the
leading In American politics.

San Antonio has goodly share OF

mediums who give sittings and
seances among circles of intimate
friends.
The local spiritualists have but
little faith IN travelling mediums, and
do not pstronize them as do
the adherents in most other
cities, for San Antonio has always
had good home mediumistic talent,
and the spiritualists have always
had more or less opportunity to COM
mune with the spirit world, through
the private mediums.

for there Is no well organized spirit

the spiritualists, who like the ad-

popular theories, do not all show
their color, but seek to hide under the
cloak of beliefs more congenial to the
minds of most of the people.
