Deer in the AdirondacIxs.

For the past month many reports have
been made that the deer in the Adiron-
dacks are being hunted down by dogs
running wild in the woods. One day
recently force of men who were en-
gagged in cutting ice on small lake dis
covered a stray dog driving deer
toward them. The dog drove the deer
upon the ice near them and then COM
menced biting it in the hams The deer
bleated most pitifully.
The men drove the dog away, while
one of them who had a rifle near at hand
tried to shoot him, but failed. A guide
followed the dogs trail, but failed to over
take him. The deer came to the men
for protection and they patted and
soothed it with their hands. During the
night the poor deer died from exhaustion

A New Vehicle for Streets.

A new system of transportation has
lately come into vogue in Chicago. The
vehicles are called carettes. I.l 4
The carette is kind of combination
stage and street railway car. Each
vehicle will seat twenty persons. The
seats and backs are upholstered and con-
tain springs. The vehicles are specially
constructed for ease and comfort, and
rest upon patented springs Of novel de-
sign.
A single low step to the platform in
the rear gives easy ingress and egress.
There is said to be an absolute freedom
from jolting in motion. Fast time is
predicted, as, although the motor is only
horse power, there are no blockades such
as obstruct street cars. ~
AS no tracks are necessary, these car
cites will probably soon be running on
the most exclusively residence streets and
boulevards. They are painted white,
with gold decoratiens.-New York Jour
nal.

A GOOD Outlook for HndsOn River Fruit.
The outlook for a large yield Of high
and low vine fruits in the Hudson river
valley, between Barrytown and Corn
wall, is promising. Fruit men who are
tying and pruning vines say that unless
a wet season is experienced in June, the
strawberry crop will be beyond the aver
age harvests in past seasons. The Ant
werp raspberry canes are healthy and
give evidence of an abundant crop. The
peach crop has been more or less injured.
There are many orchards in southern
Ulster that will not yield more than q
bushel of fully matured fruit. Other
orchards in Marlborough, Clintondale,
Highland and New Paltz will yield 25
per cent. of a full crop.
Many of the trees are now in blossom,
which confirms the statement of pains
taking horticulturists, made early in
March, that the Hudson river peach crop
will not be complete failure this season
unless unlocked for atmospheric changes
are experienced. It is yet too early to
predict the output of grapes. Fruit
growers are taking every precaution de-
manded for the proper care of the vines,
and the disease which proved so disas-
trous to the crop last season is believed
to have been cured by the application of
remedies especially prepared for the vine.
It remains to be seen If the predictions
of practical men, made concerning the
effect of wet summer on the vines, will
be verifed.-Kingston Freeman.

in Ansonia, Conn, whereby he lost all
power Of speech, has as mysteriously

A. W. Cooke, of Cayuga, N. Y, and
r. B. Downs, Of Rochester, fished in the
Little Kettle creek, in the southern part
Of this county, one day last week. They

The "Dear Marchioness" Didn't Bite.

Great amusement has been caused in
English circles in Rome by a story
which is going about of an American
lady, well known for her devotion to
the aristocracy, having put her foot in
it rather more than usual in the endeav-
or to make sublime coup. She wrote
to the Princess Louise, "Dear Marchion-
ess," asking her to tea or luncheon, I
don't know which, and promising to
take her afterward to a well known
studio. But the "Dear Marchioness,"
who had never seen or heard of the lady
in question, seemed to think that this
was going little too far, and the reply
sent will not, I fancy, be shown gener-
ally to the lady's Observation-Disclosures

A Republican Side Issue.

Topeka, Kan, March 1.-The state
executive committee of the w. G. T. U.
have issued an address to the local
unions of the state endorsing the re-
publical party's position on prohibition
and urging the unions to support repub-
lican candidates in state elections.
The above telegram, clipped from the
Hutchinson Nescs of the I'd inst, is
respectfully referred to those people
who say. that the W. G. T. U. is not
a politician side issue of the republican
party. We have thought it such all
along, and as the seasons advance and
the time for fall elections approaches
the afilliation of the W. c. T. U. and
the old-time republican tricksters will
become more prominent, even though
the loudest and most meddlesome
grannies on both sides of the combi-
nation may strenuously deny it-for
political reasans only.

Electing United States Senators.

The sentiment in favor of electing
United States senators by direct vote
of the people is growing. The grange
and alliance, and all other associations
of farmers and working people favor
this change. The Girard Herald pro-
poses a convention to amend the con-
stitution accordingly. This would be
uphill business, for it would have to
be advised by the senate, and it would

going through the eye of a needle
very slowly, indeed.
But the people can help themselves
by beginning with members of the legis-

choosing them. See that every candi-
date is pledged for himself-that he
favors a popular election of senators,
and that he will not vote for a sena-
torial candidate who is not pledged to
the same doctrine. The farmers and
other workers can soon bring about the
desired change if they will undertake
it resolutely and then ''push things."-
