FIRST STORY.

lent, consisting of n large reception hall
with Il Cozy corner fireplace, which adds
comfort and cheerfulness to the whole and
makes this room useful rs "A sitting room.
Upon the opposite side from the entrance
is the main staircase, with inside door and
steps to cellar. A corridor leads past the
parlOr and kitchen to the dining room.
This corridor Is shut off from the main
hall by portieres and is separated from the
parior by sliding DOORS which afford the
opportunity Of throwing it into that room
on state occasions. The dining room COM
municstes with the corridor and pantry
by mems of n double hinged door, and has
sliding doors in the side next the parlor.
BY this arrangement it will be seen that
the greater part of the first story can be
made practically one room. The large
open fireplace in the side of the parlor and
the round bay window at the end, which
is also carried up so as TO make a feature
of the exterior in the second story, gives q
most pleasing effect to the interior.
The kitchen and pantry are in cOnven,
ient locations and are fitted up with mod.
ern improvements. In the second story the
large chamber above the parlor Is carried
up full story in height, and Is lighted by
large windows In the bay; the other rooms
take In part Of the roof and are lighted
by dormer windows The roof is Of slate
This building was designed to face in q
northerly direction, which accounts for the
absence of verandas. If desired, a veraudr
could he built across the front of the hal
by extending the main roof over as far as
necessary. II the verandas were carried
around the parlor bay window it would
| add much to the exterior appearance OF
the building.

guards OF Hartford. In 1885 his release
was purchased by the Waterbury Comm
team, for whom he played the seasons of
1885, 1886 and part of 1887. His playing
with this club was Of very high order,
and Captain Anson, who is an excellent
Judge of what constitutes n good ball
player, was very favorably impressed with
Petitt's all round ability and secured him
for the famous Chicago team late in 1887.
Petit played with Captain Anson's team
two seasons and accompanied the Chicag0s
on their famous expedition around the
world. He began the season of 1889 with
the Wilkesbarre (Pa.) team, but finished
with the Torontos, of the International
league. Last year both Hartford and Mil.
waukee claimed his services, and after a
long squabble the case was decided in
favor of Milwaukee. Petit, though gen
orally playing in the outfeld, can fill any
position on the diamond and is pitcher
of more than ordinary ability. His selec-
ton as captain was wise one, as he is
very popular with players and public alike.

RUST IN WHEAT.
Opinions Expressed at Farmers Confer
cnces Held In sydney. Australia,


Opinions Expressed at Farmers Confer
onces Held In Sydney, Australia.
1t has been estimated that Australia
loses nearly $4,000, 900 annually through
the rust of its wheat crop. To find
remedy big prize in money has been
offered and conferences have been held
in Sydney to consider this important sub
ject of rust The opinion prevailed gen
orally that certain varieties of wheat
are much better able to resist rust than
others, and that by judicious cultivation
and hybrdization still better varieties
may be grown" They seem TO be almost
unanimous that "early maturing sorts
can be made TO escape the dangerous sea-
son, and that rust is due to climatic con-
ditions that can only be combated, but
never entirely overcome" Evidence has
been gathered by direct experiments,
and by information received from farm
ers in response to questions put to them,
which confirms the soundness Of previous
recommendation in regard to early SOW
ing, and the less liability to disease Of
crops grown in rotation, and it has also
been shown that as n rule thinly growing
crops suffer less from rust than do thickly
growing crops.
In regard to curative measures, it has
been found that solution composed of
one part sulphate of copper and 400 parts
water destroyed the vitality of the
rust spores, and that a solution of one
ounce of sulphate of iron to the gallon of
water, when sprayed over growing crop
at time when rust was about to break
out, prevented its appearance until u
fortnight or three weeks later; and even
if applied when the rust had attacked
the plant, destroyed all outward appear
ance of the fungus and prevented it's re-
appearance till fourteen days afterward.
Mr.. Smith Ellis, who has claimed the
prize for his discoveries in the matter Of
rust prevention, says in a recent paper
that "the wheat growers themselves are
the sole propagators of rust by the abuse
of their seed wheat. When they cease to
abuse their seed wheat and treat it in a
rational manner like all other seed that is
grown, saved and stored by practical seed
growers, they will no longer be troubled
with rust in their crops. The cost OF
doing so is nothing; care is all that is re-
quired to secure that object"

Where the stOnework Is very rough,
brick may sometimes be used about the
openings with good effect. The appear.
ance Of stone walls depends "A great deal
upon the manner in which the walls are
faced and pointed. If the color Of the
stone is brown or reddish in appearance
dark mortar, almost II not quite black,
gives good appearance; If the stone Is
gray or light In color, II red mortar is ef-
fectlve. However, the gray mortar in
common use Is stronger and looks well
enough for ordinary purposes and has the
advantage Of being cheaper, In the east

be taken that the foundations Of masonry
should extend below the depth Of frost.

tiJu.1
Stone houses are not rs common as brick
or wooden buildings, owing 20 the greater
expense involved In the construction. This
Is especially true when IL is necessary TO
purchase the stone and haul it long dis.
tance. But in many sections of the coun.
try sand and good building stone are found
upon the building site or in the immediate
neighborhood. In such cases the stone
costs nothing, and the only expense is the
cost Of the lime or cement and the neccs-
sary labor and scaffolding required 10 build
the walls. In localities where labor is
cheap n stone house may be erected at
very low cost.

WINDOWS Last Words ON silver.

Undoubtedly Secretory Window
was the officer most beloved person.
ally Of any one in President Harri-
sons cabinet. Once a brother cab
met officer said to him: "What is it
draws men to you so? | would give
half | possess to know your secret"
Yet the secret was open to all the
world. 1t simply consists in VIM
dom's sunny temper and sympathy
with others. He simply remember
cd at ell times that others had as
good rights in the world as he had
himself, and that courtesy and kind
illness are due as duty from as all
TO every decent human being no
matter who he is. Good will
thrown out to others will invariably
bring good will to ourselves. 1t is
the law.
Mr.. Window carefully prepared
the speech which he had just ended
ct the time of his sudden going out
Of life. He had thought deeply
over the question of the free coin
age OF silver, and promulgated his
views to the public at the banquet
in New York. Under the circum
stances, therefore. this speech is Sec
rotary WINDOWS legacy to his fell

is my firm conviction that for this
country to enter upon that expert
ment now aud under existing con-
ditions would be extremely disas-
trous, and that it would result not
in bi-metallism but in silver mono
metallism. Such an experiment
would, in my judgment, prove d

Judge Morris Report-Gen. Seth
INDICATED.

The report Of Judge Morris. U. 3.
District Judge of Baltimore, has
been submitted to the Treasury
Department at Washington in the
matter Of the petition of Gen
Joseph b. Seth, Commander Of the
oyster navy for the remittance of
the fines imposed upon the States
boats for violating the steamboat
laws in transporting passengers
across the bay. After citing all the
facts in the case, Judge Morris
very properly says:
"As the result of the inquiry made by
me under section $500, ! report to the
honorable the Secretary of the Treasury
the foregoing facts, and also that 1t APP
pears that If any violations Of law has
been committed IL was without willful
negligence or any intention of fraud
Aud in conclusion he says:
Il respectfully recommend that the
penalties be RENTED"
This is just what the CAPITAL
predicted would be the result when
all the facts in the case were brought
out. Itcould not, under all the cir
cumstances, have been otherwise,
and Judge Morris will be common
ded for his iudicious and impartial
decision in the case.
The Treasury Department has
not yet acted in the matter, but it
is understood that the fines will
probably be RENTED altogether, as
recommended by Judge Morris.
We hope this will put at rest the
little "tempest in the teapot" that
this action of the State officials has
caused in q matter in which they
had no personal interest whatever
beyond the relief of distressed pas
sengers" and the Humiliation of
State pride"
