African campaign, in which he had re-

SAYS the Harrisburg Telegraph: The
Democratic Senators worried long time
IN caucus yesterday over the stand the
Republican Senators took that unless
Governor Beavers appointments were
confirmed Governor Pafiiscn would have
no cabinei-and they finally came TO the
conclusion that the Democratic coon had
better come down. The statement that
they were merely following precedent
was very innocent one, but there was
something back Of H. The fact is, the
Democratic Senators were all cooked and
primed 10 defeat Governor Beavers
nominations, and they intended to do so
At the very first opportunity Their little
scheme was too good TO keep secret, and
IL leaked out in time for the Republican
Senators to nip itin the bud by promising
70 retaliate on paiiison's nominees. As
originally planned Pattison's cabinet was
90 be rushed through on the day Of in
auguration, and then action on the Bea-
yer nominations was 10 be held of until
after the Legislature adjourned. when
Pattison would have olIsted the Beaver
appOintees and put in men OF his own
choice. The Republican Senator'S have
succeeded in arranging matters 50 that
che Beaver nominations viii come Up
for action FIRST, then the Pattison cabinet
nominees sill follow, and all Of the ap-
pointnents viii be confirmed. There
can be no doubt Of that But some
people will be sadly disappointed that
their little game was blocked.

HARRIsRURo, Jan. i9-It is about as GER
tain that Senator Cameron will be reelected
tomorrow, as it is that Governor Pattison
will be inaugurated. The hostiles who have
been dancing the ghost dance with Taggart
had caucus tonight, and will have anoth-
er tomorrow morning at %. but after the
meeting Mr.. Taggart virtually conceded
Cameron's election on the first ballot. There
were only 1 a, his caucus, and two of these
-Balwip and Boyd, of Lancas,er-left it
after declaring that they would vote for
Cameron. It would take - boilers to dead
lock the House and force an adjournment
for day.
Mr.. Taggart said after the caucus that he
had the pledges OF several others who were
not here tonight, but not enough to accom-
plish his purpose There will be no votes
against Cameron in the Senate.

THURSDAY EVENING SESSION.

Music by the Choir.
The iirst number on the program, . Neces-

Miss Turner not being present, Mr.. Terry
delivered half hours talk on "A farmers

drawings of his own garden and number
of photographs of fruit grown on II. 1t will
take an acre of ground to grow enough fruit
for moderate sized family. The garden
should be fifteen rods long by eleven rods
wide Rotation off crops is as necessary as
on the farm you cannot.g grow the best veg

Strawberries should be set out each spring.

and one of Strawberries. As soon as you
have gathered the berries, plow under and
SOW clover next year plant it in vegetables
These three strips will take about one half
your garden. Currants should come next,
planted in a row about six feet apart. They
should have plenty of room 10 grow. Then
plant two rows of black cap raspberries. one
of red and one of purple two rows of black
berries and two rows Of grapes. Reasonable

ring up the ground about them cover the
ground between the rows thoroughly with
straw I do not think we did five dollars
worth of work on cur raspberries last spring
and we gathered about 35 bushels. The straw
keeps the the moisture in the ground, and
prevents failure in dry season. To make
them grow large, pinch off the top of new
sticks when they have grown about knee
high. The next spring cnt the tops down to
about four feet and trim the sides as you
would hedge. TO secure large Strawberries
do not let them grow close together, and
they will grow as large as peaches all that
is needed. is little care. Before planting
strawberries always throw the stalks into a
pail of water no matter where they come
from. and put moist ground around the
roots. Set them in tine ground in a slanting
position and spread out the tops. All that
need be done to have good raspberries is to
cut of the suckers frequently and mush
with straw. Keep Strawberries free from
weeds the first year, and you will have no
trouble with them afterwards.
The closing number on the program was
read by Miss Amanda Musselman, of Somer-
set, and was entitled Formative Influences

Stock raising was the next paper, read

lives on bnckwheat CAKES and sausage, and
did not believe horse could be kept in good
