Relating to Peoples Bank.

The following letter was intended
to be introduced in the Peoples Rank
Case in open court, but was not re-
ceived until the next morning after
the case had been disposed Of. 1t is
published by request, and as the
writer says, sin justice to all. -
PITTsBURG, Pa, April TO-
Hon. 5. IL. Bright,
In the application for the APP
pointmert Of Receiver for the
Peoples Bank, please permit me,
through you, to say to the court re :
spectfulIy, that for the purpose of
better securing the full payment of
all the debts with the least unnecess-
arv sacrifice, a sale of all the assets
of the Bank was lately effected for
a sufficient consideration, with far
terms OF payment. all to be secured
to the satisfaction of majority of
the creditors. This contract has
been made the basis of certain val
liable sub or collateral contracts
which will completely accomplish
the full payment Of the entire in
debtedness within a reasonable per-
iod, and all the parties to the sew
eral contracts will maintain them
and their rights hereunder, as pro-
per and for the best good of both
debtors and creditors of the Bank.
1t will be an injustice to all, to
subject these important interests to
the control of parties, who would
disregard the contracts and nego-
tiations penling and the Court
should allow the question of the APP
pointment of a Receiver to be sub
mItted on full examination of facts,
argument of counsel, with an op-
portunity of creditors to express
wishes and views in regard thereto.
] go to consult the other parties IN
terested in these contracts and will
return with & proposition for the
full payment Of all creditors claims
in terms which viii certainly meet
the approval of the Court.
Please make this statement public
in justice to all. Respectfully,
c. V. Culver.

The contract fer the building OF
the large standplpe at the Boys In
dustrlal school at Lancaster was let
to Hon. John P. Martin of Aenla
Saturday. The pipe will be 24xS5
feet and the contract includes one
and one. half miles of mains and con-
Meeting pipes. The sum of which
it was let is Sic, 1000.
The awarding of the contract to
Mr.. Martin has stirred up great
deal of feeling among the people Of
Lancaster. The board was in seS-
SION in that city until a late hour
Saturday night and after a consider
ton of all bids handed them back to
the contractors. They then let the
contract as above stated. Louis
Mayer, Lancaster contractor, had
presented bid which was 5000 less
that that accepted from Martin. lie
states that he will secure an lnjunc-
ton to prevent the contract from be-
ing let TO Martin. Mr.. Pugsley,
one of the board, stated they had
given the contract to Martin, al
though his bid was higher, on ac-
count of his experience in building
water works.
The action of the board has caused
some Indignation among the con
tractors who were bidding and
among the citizens of Lancaster over
the treatment of their home con
tractor.

On Monday afternoon, the Attor-
neys for the depositors, who had
brought suit, asked the Court for
the appointment. of a Receiver.
Messers Bright, Price and Wright,
attorneys for the Bank, resisted the
appointment, claiming it would be
a heavy and useless expense, that
the Bank had paid out about $780,
10000 to depositors, and was pay
ing as fast as money could be realiz-
ed on security held; that Receiver
to force collections, would drive
many of the debtors to the Bank,
to bankruptcy; that in effect the
Receiver, proceeding to a speedy
settlement of the affairs, would en-
tail more disaster than the contin-

attorneys for the depositors mad a

Although it is well-known fact that
nearly all varieties Of fruit trees grow
well and bear we'll in the poultry yard,
we are not prepared to endorse the
idea that hen manure supplies more of
the elements needed for the growth of
trees or fruit than any other. In fact,
we think it contains less than some
others. and would prefer the mixture
of bone and potash, equal parts fine
ground bone and muriate of potash, to
anything else that we know of. We
suspect that the main value of the hen
manure, as found in the henyard, is in
the fact of its daily application in
small quantities and its thorough mix
ing with the soil, an amount of labor
that the owner could not afford to do
himself. Then they have the advan-
tage of having the ground kept free
from grass and weeds, and of having
the insects killed almost at their first
appearance. Thus, while we believe
in setting trees, particularly the plum
and peach, which are but short-lived
at the best, in the henyard, or even
dwarf pears, we should not buy hen
manure and use it in an orchard of
those fruits, though a moderate appll-
cation once month might do no
greater harm than to make an excess
sive growth of wood to be cut away
each year.

The Use Of Skim Milk.

There is always profit in feeding
skim milk or whey if Il few things are
remembered and rigidly practiced, say $
all exchange.
The skim milk or whey should be
sweet.
Milk sugar constitutes five pounds
out of every 10 of solids in the skim
milk. Just as long as it is sugar will
it promote growth, but when once it
turns to acid it hinders the deposition
of fat especially. When we wish to re-
duce the fat in our bodies we eat acids.
Sour swill is a hindrance rather than a
help to growth.
Add to the skim milk, if feeding
shoats for fattening purposes, a good
portion of corn meal and middlings.
Select the pigs when about so pounds
weight, and up to the time they are
1875 pounds it will help them to give
the feed warm.
Turn the pigs at 175 to 200 pounds
and start with new lot. Don't un-
dertake to make any money by feeding
large weights; the waste of food is
greater than the profit. ~.....

When Tennyson Was Staggered.

Little as Tennyson cared for society,
he was sometimes to be met in houses
which interested him, and one of these
was the Duchess of Bedford's in Eaton
Square, now the dowager Duchess. 1t
was at party there one evening that
he saw certain great lady, of whom
he had heard, but whom he did not
know. He desired to be introduced to
her, or, perhaps s-for his ways were
sometimes regal - desired that she
might be presented to HIM. In which
ever way it was, the ceremony took
place, and Tennyson's second remark
was this question: 90, Lady Blank,
do know Lord Blank?" The person
about whom he thus inquired was a
Peer, who. though young, had won
much distinction in public life, and
was widely known in private. His
wife. as it happened. was devoted to
him and jealous of any word which
sounded like disparagement of his
position or Indifference to his renown
She looked Tennyson in the face and
answered, with perfect composure of
manner: Il am sure, Lord Tenny son,
| can't say. | never heard him men
ton your name in my life" For mo-
ment the poet was staggered by this
straight hit from the shoulder, but he
had the good sense and good temper
'c take it well.

Dipped Raisins.

An improved method of drying
raisins, says the Pacific Rural Press. is
in use among Fresno packers. The
process consists of placing the grapes
in dipping pans with perforated bot
toms. These pans of grapes are SUBJ
merged in va.ts of boiling-hot lye, the
preparation consisting of one pound OF
concentrated I've to Is gallons of
water. The grapes are dipped in the
lye for AN instant only and then
brought to the air to cool; this is re-
peated three times, the entire opera
ton lasting only about half minute.
The dipping of the grapes into the hot
liquid and almost instantly afterward
exposing them to the cool air causes
the grape ska to break open in many
places. This exposes the inside of the
grapes to the sun, besides softening the
skin. Before being placed upon the
trays to dry, however, the grapes are
rinsed off in pure, cold water. The
cost of the dipping operation is very
small.
The pack put up by this method is
called the California Valencias. 1t is
said to be satisfactory.

In a minute she h:s torn the wick

At last she has reached the spo,

Match after match is blown out by
the wind. at last the wick is lighted,
and springing to one side she hurls it

A few minutes elapse; then, with
one mighty sigh of escaping air, as the
brakes are applied, the special" comes
to dead stop within forty yards OF
the ruined bridge.
The danger is soon known and the
passengers run wildly about to tind
and thank their preserver. They find
her at last, and the engineer, bending
over her seemingly lifeless form, clasps
two badly burned hands within his
own.
After many minutes the eyes are
slowly opened, and Beatrice, looking
up into the face of the engineer, rec.

she no longer hates the engineer whose
