Fred Sharon's Poodle.

OF all the queer ways in which very rich
people scatter their money the queerest to
the eye of a man with no fancy in hat
way is squandering it on dogs. There is
young Fred Sharon, of the Palace hotel,
San Francisco, for instance, who recently
paid 500 francs for Il ridiculous little poodle
in Paris, brought him across the ocean and
the continent in the finest style money
could provide and now keeps him at the
Palace in superaristocratic elegance.
All San Francisco agrees that he is the
cutest, queerest, homeliest canine that
ever appeared on that coast, but he has a
long, long pedigree; his ancestors have

THE POTATO RUST.
TWO KINDS OF DISEASE

wv w
The true blight or rust has appeared
on the potato leaves, and the weather is
favorable for the rapid aud destructive
spread of the disease. Unless proven
tive measures are taken at once there
will be much loss from the rot. Those
who intend to use the Bordeaux mixture
should not delay an hour longer than is
necessary.
Since sending you my former letter
two weeks ago a large number of letters
of inquiry have been received which en-
phasize the need of further information
by the farmer as to the so-called ''new
disease" of the potatoes.
This disease has attacked early pota-
toes very generally throughout the
State. 1t is an entirely different and
distinct disease from the true blight, and
it is very important that all potato grow
ers learn to distinguish the two maladies.
A circular which it is hoped will aid
them in so doing has been sent to the
postmasters throughout the State for free
distribution.
The most important practical differ
ences between the diseases noted in this
circular are AS follows -
First-The spores of the fungus which
causes the true blight or crust" pass
rom the blighting vines to the tubers,
tausing the rot. No rotting of the tu-
bers is caused by the new disease.
Second-The true blight or rust" at
acks later potatoes worst. The new dis
Ease is confined to early potatoes.
Third-The true blight or "rust'' can
Re checked by spraying with the Bor-
HeauX mixture. The new disease is not
o easily checked by spraying.
The following points will aid in dis
inguishing the two diseases; New dis

THE REPUBLICAN PLOT TO RETAIN CONTROL
OF THE SENATE NEED OF DEMOCRATIC
wATCHFULNEss.
There is eminent propriety, says the
Baltimore Sun, in the determination
of the democratic leaders in tn o
Senate and of the national committee to keep
watchful eye upon the republican efforts to
steal various Western Legislatures. Evidence
has accumulated of the origination of this re-
publican plot on the first morning after the
election. Tic United States Senate is the last
stronghold CT the republicans. Its a magni-
fcent prize to hold, and through the steady
and systematic aggressions OF the men who
have held high places in it. running through
long series Of years, 1t has acquired an i'm
mensely disproportionate share of influence
| in controlling the destines and welding the
patronage of the government. 1t would be
foolish to imagine these men, emboldened by
past successes in questionable methods, would
hesitate about reSOrtiEg to every desperate OF
INSCRIPTIONS agency to retain the hold which
is slipping from under their grasp. They did
not deceive the wary. therefore, when they
pretended to be glad of the prospect the dem
ocrats would gain the Senate with all the
other branches Of the government. The iden-
| teal republican Senators who put themselves
| in public utterance day or two after the
election to this effect were at the moment
deeply engaged in lending their assistance to
the devising of the schemes which have bios
somed into full development They do not
mean to step down to secondary positions and
surrender the sceptre until all the means

exhausted.
AT WORK IN FIVE STATES.
In five States where the people on the Sth
| of November chose legislatures not favorable
to the republicans the scheme to subvert the
popular will is in active progress 1t does
not embarrass the plotters in the least that
in two of these States the situation has COM
PEELED them to resort to methods directly OPP
posite to those heretofore availed of when the
same object was in view. No matter what is
done, it will be applauded if success follows
it, and fraudulent claimants Will, as hereto
fore, find the doors of the Senate thrown wide
open for their entrance if those who will
profit by their presence have still the power
to so order it. Fortunately, however, there is
strong doubt of this. When the Senate shall

to become the accomplish in conspiracy re-
bounding only to the benefit of its political
enemies. The chances are the men to whom
the seats rghtfully belong will get them, and
the representatives of crime and fraud will
be sent back from whence they came. The
democratic vigilance committee will, it is I'M
derstood, keep in close communion with the
local democrats Of the States concerned, and
be fully advised of what is going on.

practice, so the little woman went to work

Legislature that of 1SSS-S9 and had a bill in
troduced and passed to admit women to prac-
tee law. She was admitted to the bar on De-
cember l, 1890. Now she has a practice Of
which many men would be proud, and is pecu-
