responsible to them in case of fire? 1t

Cap. Endersby informed CHRoN1CLE
representative today that he made
careful examination yesterday of his
peach, pear and plum trees and found
the young fruit practically unaffected by
the late frosts. He says the blossoms
are SO thick on the trees that they could
stand considerable thinning out and yet
leave as much fruit as the trees ought to
be allowed to bear.
One our handsomest and most popu-
lar young society men met with sin
gular surprise yesterday morning.
Night before he returned from a whist
party couple of hours after midnight
and with as little delay as possible went
to bed leaving one of his bedroom win
dows open. AS he opened his eyes in

foot of the bed, they fell on a natron of
the feline race which, during the pre-
ceding night, had been taken with the
troubles incident to the propagation of
her species. and, seeing an open window

THE CHRONICLE erred yesterday when
it said that it was the children of Rev.

the two who are i'll, one girl of fifteen
and the other boy of thirteen, lived
here all winter, and Lily Richards has
been living with them for about six
weeks. None of the children who ar
rived Sunday morning have as yet
shown any symptoms of the disease.
The CHRONICLE makes this explanation
in justice to Mr.. Spencer, who very nat
urally would not like to have it supposed
that his children brought the disease
here.

to set the eggs up for breakfast this
morning, Julius?" "Why?'i asked the
steward. "Whyl why it's Esther Sun
day, don't you know?'' "No, didn't
know it was Easter Sunday was the
response. "You bet it is," chorused the
deck hands and Julius responded by
ordering the cook to give the boys all

had loaded themselves down to the gun
vale, julius began to suspect that he
had been made the victim of misplaced
confidence, but the boys assured him
that, as this is leap year, there are two
Casters in it. So Julius is now study
ing the calendar to find out if the boys
have lied to him, and at last accounts,
he gravely suspects they have.
