county, the home OF the LeConte pear, never
presented more fair appearance than 10
does to-day. The pear orchards are in full
bloom. The recent cold weather has done
little or no damage to the pears in this sec
ton, and the probabilities are that there
will be full crop marketed this year. The
farmers continue to plant the trees, and as
there has never been q case of blight In the
county 1t is quite probable that they will
continue to put them out.

Lord Salisbury's Latest Note Con-
sidered by the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, March 22-The entire
session of the cabinet to-day was consumed
in consideration Of the Boring sea question
Lord Salisbury's reply to Assistant Score
tary Wharton's note Of March s, insisting
upon a renewal of the modus vivendi for
the present season was read. and formed the
basis of discussion. The utmost reticence
is maintained by the members of the cabinet
as to the contents Of Lord Salisbury's note,
yet there is reason TO believe it is unsatis-
factory to this government. The position
announced in Assistant Secretary Whar-
toms note of March s is not, in the opinion
OF the President and his cabinet, successfully
oontroverted. Lord Salisbury's reply as to
the main point is said to be indeclsive, and
although be contends against a renewal he
does not commit himself 80 far as to declare
to give his assent to it. There Is also reason
to believe that Lord Salisbury suggests as
a condition precedent to any modus vivendi
that might be established between the two
governments that the United States should
obligate itself to indemnify Canadi-
an vessel owners for any loss
sustained by them, in the event that it is
decided by the commissioners of arbitration
that the United States has no right to pre-
vent pelagic sealing. It Is said that a reply
Is now being prepared in which the govern
ment will in no sense recede from its former
position, but on the contrary will stand
firmly by it. Lord Salisbury's note was
received by cable, and was not of great
length

From the Neac York Tfibure.
The foolish barbarity, the practice of
college hezing, which ninety times out of a

several youths upon single one, has to a
great extent disappeared. Now and then

A KICK BY THOSE WHO PAY.
Last week Representatives of these
houses learned that Register had
taken orders 10 be filled direct from Kansas
City to the purchasers, and they, believing
him amenable to the special tax. called the
attention Of the comptroller general to the
case, and he ordered the tax collector to
issue fl. ia. against Mr.. Royster. The
sheriff served this. Then the representa-
tive of the Fowlers went with his attorneys
before the comptroller general and exhibit
ing the documents bearing upon the trans
action, showed that this was interfering
with interstate commerce and the
state authorities agreed with him.
THE FIGHT REOPENED.
As he was about to deliver the goods,
however. the sheriff again closed the car
