Sir William to Write a Book.

New YORK, June 11.-Sir William Gordon
Cumming has decided, says a letter from an
acquaintance of the baronet in London TO a
gentleman in this city, TO relate at length his
own version of the Tranby Croft baccarat
scandal in a small volume, which he proposes
to bring out at an early date.
In his book he will deal particularly with
what he has termed 'rascalityn of Lycett
Green. and the manner in which the Prince of
Wales keeps his secrets. his candid opinion Of
the hostess of 1ranby Croft, the true and
only reason which he was called upon to
sign that document" how the Prince of
Wales plays the role of banker, why he
carries his own baccarat apparatus about
with him. the nonsense that occurred among
the party on both nights of the. play, and
last. but not least. Lady Brooke's reason for
breaking her promise to the Prince Of Wales
that she would not utter single word about
the affair to a living being.

meut IS very elaborate and contains all the

inspection by any municipality that desired

nev General that United States Government
officials should not obey the requests Of NUM-

Tbs P~o,Iosman's Club.

An old and famous policeman insists
that a police club is a clumsy instru'
mcnt only in the hands Of clumsy men.
Artistic clubbers, he says, find that to
handle Il club well Is TO learn a deep
and nice science. The perfect master
Of a club can hit a blow that will crack
a crown, or he can deliver Il thump that
will stun a man, and yet raise no lump
or sign Of "a bruise; better yet, q true
adept can hit u man No as TO make a
clean, fine cut as with a knife blade.
While the policeman told what could be
done with the club his nearer thought
Of the advice Of a distinguished New
Yorker uttered some years ago: Don't
ever let n policeman hit you with a
club. No matter how brave you are,
run before you're hit. A blow with u
locust may develop insanity or paraly'

Manure for Peach Trees,

First of all, the peach tree needs a
rich soil. This may be produced by us.
ing barnyard manure literally. Ground
bone has been found an excellent
fertilizer in many orchards, applied at
the rate of twenty bushels per acre.
Wood ashes have given good results.
Manure for a peach orchard cannot
have a good effect unless the soil is
friable. Some experienced peach grow.
ers say that peach trees should never
be set upon a soil that has been made
suitable by undertaking. In other
words, a peach soil should be naturally
we'll drained. The peach cannot bear
going with "wet feet" One of the
most troublesome difficulties of the
peach is the ~so-called ~"yellows," This
following of the foliage is often due to
the lack Of nourishment in the soil, or
because the soil is too wet for the roots
10 take it up. There is ano her kind of
yellows that is contagious, and may in
fest any orchard, and manure cannot
cure it. Digging up the trees and burn
ing them is the remedy. American

pert looking miss of fourteen, perhaps,

seat and moved slowly toward it The

and captured the seat She dropped in
to it and looked around triumphantly.
A sweet-faced young woman, hand.
somely dressed and with big and sym
pathetic eyes, was plainly displeased at
the girls presumption of the seat. She
rose quickly and gave her seat to the
lady, Then she said Indignantly to the
miss: you ought to be ashamed OF

How much do you get" replied the
