THE HOMESTEAD CASES.
Critchlow on Trial for the Murder of II
j. Connor

PITTsBURd, Nov. 19.-The case of Svl-
vester Critchlow, the first of the Home
stead strikers charged with murder, was
called for trial yesterday in the criminal
court room before Judge Kennedy.
Critchlow is charged with the killing Of
I. ]. Connor on July 8, during the riots
at Homestead. The case attracted a
great crowd, and all Homestead seemed
to be in the hall, but an effort was made
to keep the crowd from the room. The
prosecution is represented by District
Attorney Burleigh, Messrs. Patterson,
Robb Knox and Beck, and the defense
by Messrs. Argo, of Sioux City: Erwin,
of st. Paul: Marshall Montooth, Rear
don, Brennan and Cox.
Mr., Brennan moved to uuash the in
dictment and also the array of grand
jurors, bt cause said grand jurors were
not impartially drawn; that the slips on
rolls of paper containing the names of
the jury We're not uniform. Mr.. Bren-
nan said he did not wish to reflect on
amy one, but there was a fearing that
the drawing may not be fair and i'm
partial.
District Attorney Burleigh said that
in his oIsnion the motion to quash comes
too late, as the defendant had pleaded,
and had therefore waived any right to
move to quash. Judge Kennedy over
ruled Mr.. Brennan's motion to quash.
At noon jury having been obtained
the court took recess
The Critchlow murder trial was re-
sumed at 3 o'clock. District Attorney
Burleigh opened the case for the com
monwealth. Captain John W. Cooper,
of the Pinkerton force, described Con
nor's position when wounded and fixed
the hour. This was the most important
point of his evidence, as it will be fol-
lowed by witnesses who saw Critchlow
at that time firing toward the barges in
direction he would have been likely to
hit Connor. Some portions of Captain
Cooper's testimony will be attacked by
the defense both on cross-examination
and by witnesses,

oShool (uSstions
New York, Nov. 19.-Tl,st conference
of the archbishops of the Koran Catholic
Church of the United States continued
its sessions yesterday at Archbishop Cor
rigan's residence in this city. All the
members of the conference were present
but Archbishop Satolli, the Italian pre-
late, did not lend his presence to the
deliberations.
1t is stated on positive authority that
the debates have not been carried on al
together harmoniously, and that Arch
bishop Ireland, of st. Paul, and Arch
bishop katzer, of Milwaukee, have gem
orally been on opposite sides in some
heated arguments. Yesterdays discus
slons We're largely spent in considering
the condition of the Catholic university
at Washington, which is not in state
wholly satisfactory to the church au-
thorities. At the close of the evening
session the council gave out the follow
ing statement:

ing of the archbishops of the United
States held at the residence Of the most
reverend archbishop of New York. on
the 10th of November, 1899, to con-
slider the best means to provide for the
religious education of such children as
do not Mt present attend the parochial
schools or Catholic schools of any kind,
the assembled prelates unanimously
agreed on the following resolutions:
First, Resolved to promote the erec-
tion of Catholic schools, so that there
may be accommodation in them fer more.
and if possible, for all Catholic children.
according to the DEGREES of the third
plenary council Of Baltimore and the de-
cisions of the Holy See.
Second, Resolved, that as to children
who at present do not attend Catholic
schools, we direct in addition that pro-
vision be made for them by Sunday
schools, and also by instructions on some
other day or days of the week, and by
urging parents to teach their children
the Christian doctrines in their homes.
These Sunday and weekday schools
should be under the direct supervision
of the clergy, aided by intelligent lay
teachers, and, when possible, by mem
bers of religious teaching ordsrs.

Propagating Plants.

Hard-wooded plants are difficult to
root, and unless taken when the wood
is in just the right condition, will not
start in sand. Ivy, oleanders, plum
bago and all plants of woody growth
may be rooted in water with much more
certainty of success than by any other
method. Fill wide-mouthed bottle or
fruit jar with rain water and drop the
cutting in after removing the leaves at
the bottom, allowing the tops to project
above the water. Place the bottle in a
window where the sun will strike it, ad
ding water as evaporation goes on. In
two or three weeks tine tiny thread
like roots will start from the base of the
cutting. When those have grown to
the length of an inch and half, crum-
BILE soil in the water till the roots are
covered. Then pour off most of the
water and do not add water again till
the soil is about the consistency of that
in pots Of growing plants. After week
or two the roots will have filed the soil,
when the bottle may be broken and the
plant transplanted without any setback.

Do DeciduOus Fruits Pay?

We think they do, and right royalty,
too. Ponon fruit dealer informs us
that in his own personal knowledge, IA
apricot orchards here this year paid
from 70 to 25 per cent on the whole in
vestment, and almost as many more
have paid about 80 per cent on the
money the property has cost. A few of
the better.kept peach and prune orchards
have yielded crops that have paid even
40 and 5O per cent on the investment.
There are facts and figures at our COM
mand in nearly every part OF Pomona
valley to prove these statements. Where
else in the United States--yes, where
else in the world-can such profits be
shown from legitimate cultivation of
soil? So eminent and practical busi-
ness man and financer as G P. Hunt
ington is quoted as saying that in the
whole realm of agricultural industries
he knows of no class that clears 60 much
money year in and year out as the Cali
fornia fruit growers.
Fifty per cent on the investment in
one year! Think of that. Why, there
are thousands and thousands of the
most successful business men in the
world who are getting but and per
cent on their investments, and there ia
many millionaire who thinks he ie in
great luck to get 8 and per cent inter-
est annually. Yet, when the market
for our fruit gets sluggish, as it must in
some years, we hear some people, with
kno-it-all Looks, seriously ask if fruit
culture in this region really pays.-[Po-

A LESSON IN HONESTY.
The Record Made by Ventura Bus.
tness Man.

The Record Made by u Ventura Bus
tness Man.
The Pomona Progress says: There is
always class of pessimists who claim
that the world is becoming more tricky
and dishonest, and they site thousand
and one instances in every day business
life to prove their assertions. It some-
times seems as if they almost proved
their point, but we don't think they
ever do. In this connection it is re-
fresbing to learn through the press Of the
actions OF man named Nicholas
Peters OF Ventura. Fifteen years ago an
epidemic of smallpox in the vicinity of
his store ruined his business and he had
to assign. His share of the indebted
ness was SIG, 1000, and the assets allowed
him to pay but 20 cents on the dollar.
Mr.. Peters started up again in a small
way and recently has been able to pay
his crditors OF Is years ago in full. He
didn't withhold cent from the men
who had trusted him. and today he is
even with the world and has clear con-
science in the bargain.
Legally, he was not liable for cent of
the indebtedness remaining after he
had paid twentieth part of his indebt-
edness. Morally, he was responsible
for the full amount just as coon as he
got It. He is an honest man and rea-
lized that fact. 1t was surprising
thing to do in the opinion of the average
man who fails, and Mr.. Peters should
everywhere be commended for his
honesty. which could have no greater
test. He is approaching his seventieth
year, but we hope he may be spared
long time to receive the respect and
esteem OF the community in which he
resides,
