sIsTTNE CHoRIsTER. and the other was

emperor.
centuries it's music has been composed
by one of its own members. Its Italian
title is II Collegio del Cuppillani Cantori
della CapeIla Pontifcia-that is, it is the
pope's personal choir and only sings
when he oficiates at mass or on the
death of a cardinal.
1t is the Oldest musical organization in
the world, dating back to the fourth cen
fury, when Pope Sylvester set up school
for training the voices of boys. For
time all the churches in Rome were sup
piled from this school, and only the
best were retained for the pope's choir.
In the time of Gregory the Great the
honor of membership was so highly re-
garded that persons of most noble birth
contended eagerly for places, and many
of the choir went to take charge of the
music in the principal churches of other
countries. After various changes the
number in the choir was fixed at 80 in
1850 and has remained at that ever since.
That was during the short period that
the famous Palestrina was master of the
choir He was the only married man
who ever served in it and was removed
by Pope Paul w for that reason. 1t
was long thought very remarkable that
such fine soprano voices were heard in
this exclusive male choir, and many Gu
HOuS stories were told to account for it,
but it is now known to have been the
result of a special training begun in
childhood. This system, known as the
carte fatte," is still in use in Spain, and
voices thus trained retain their sweet
ness to extreme old age. Four years
ago one member of this choir died at
the age of "a, having retained the purity
Of his voice almost to the last, and two

New YORK, July 24.-The Morning
Advertiser prints what it alleges is a
copy of a confidential circular letter
distributed by the leaders of the Irish
revolutionary party in America among
its friends, felicitating them upon the
destruction of the British war ship Vic
toria, and claiming that the supposed
accident was the result of deep-laid
plot on the part of the physical force
party in Ireland, which contemplates
the destruction, if possible, Of the whole
British navy and the indiction of dire
injury on England in every quarter of
the globe where her flag flies. The fol-
lowing are quotations from the alleged
letter:
Admiral Tryon is not guilty for the
loss of the Victoria. He is the victim of
the sins of his country. The maneuvre
which he proposed the fleet should per-
form would have been successfully car
ried out had our brave brothers in Eng
lands service not not been equal to the
opportunity afforded them and given
themselves a willing sacrifice for the
cause of Ireland. For the better protec-

EAsTpoRT, July 26.-At an early hour
this morning the long expected prize
fight between Harry Gardner, champion
middle weight of New Hampshire, and
Jerry Sullivan, the noted boxer of Bos-
ton, took place on Campobello, a spot
made locally historic by the Kelley
Limmany fight, which occurred there
just 20 years ago.
The fight was under the Queensbury
rules and lasted barely 10 minutes. Sui
llvan was knocked out in the third
round.
The fight was for $500 side and gate
receipts. Nearly 400 local sports from
Eastport, Calais, Lubec and Campobello
were in attendance and every man had
his favorite. Warren Parker and Mike
Barry were seconds for Gardner and
Duke Weber and Billy Carr for Sulli-
van. with Jack Bowers of Ohio, referee
Fred Gillespie and Capt. Alex Bracket,
time keepers.
Four-ounce gloves were used aad the
men showed up in good form. Gardner
appeared to have the better training, as
the result confirmed. Very little money

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

An unknown man jumped off the Sun
day morning express train from Bangor,
while it was going at the rate of thirty
miles an hour, a short distance west of
Etna bog bridge. between Etna and East
Newport station. The man was found
about thirty feet from the track in a
stunned condition, but he soon revived
sufficiently to get up and walk off. He
wished to get off at East Newport sta
ton, and on learning that the train did
not stop there, selected soft Doggy
place in which to jump, otherwise his
injuries would have been much more
serious and, in all probability, fatal. AS
it was he escaped with nothing more
serious than a severe shaking up and

The Ford Theatre Disaster.

WASHINGTON, July 24.--The grand
jury today found true bill against Col.
Frederick c.. Ainsworth, chief of the
Record Bureau of the, war depart
ment, George w. Dant, the contractor
employed to make the excavation for the
electric light, William E. Covert, superin-
tendent, and Francis Sasse, engineer of
the building, holding them responsible
for the old Ford's theatre disaster of
June last,i whcilr23 persons lost their
lives, and large number of others were
injured.
The indictment describes in detail the
excavations that were in progress at the
time of the accident and AYERS that Aims
worth, Dant, Covert and Sasse undertook
the performance of this work, and being
wholly unmindful of their duty removed
the earth supporting the pier without
having first caused the pier to be relieved
by snoring, from the great pressure upon
it.a By reason OF this most culpable
negligence the pier sank and broke, pre-
cipitating parts of the second and third
floors with their occupants to the
ground. 49,
The grand jury then formally find that
in the manner described in the indict-
ment the accused did wilfully kill and
STAY the persons whose deaths are under
investigation. 5 q
1t is understood that Colonel Aims
worth and the other defendants will not
be arraigned for some days, as the trial
cannot take place before the September
term of court.

UNIFORM METHODS.
What Should BE the Motto of Every
Dairyman in America?

What Should BE the Motto of Every
Dairyman In America?
A writer in Practical Dairyman cor
rectly says that uniform conditions
should at all times govern the private
dairy, or as nearly so as is possible in
our variable climate. This can be ac-
complished by the judicious use of ice
in summer and artificial heat in win
ter, and thus uniform product can be
obtained. Keep your milk al uniform
temperature while Dreaming, the cream
at uniform temperature while ripen-
ing, and also while churning. Salt
evenly, working the butter as nearly
alike each time the churning is done as
you possibly can, and the result of
your labor will always be most crafty
ing both to yourself and your Gus
toners, as you can always duplicate
your product. Nothing is SO disas-
trous to the private dairy as the adop-
ton of haphc card methods in conduct
ing it. If the customer receives one
good package of butter he never knows
when he will receive another, and he
looks for some other brand and we lose
his patronage, ard soon becoming dis
couraged we abandon the enterprise,
or at least run it under the great dis
advantages and usually at Z loss, all
for the lack of proper methods success
fully applied. Uniform conditions and
uniform product should be the motto
Of every private dairyman in this coun-
try, for it is only by this method sue
cess can be attained.

FARM AND GARDEN.
STRAWBERRY. BEDS.
Brush Screen Recommended by the
Minnesota Experiment station.

Brush Screen Recommended by the
Minnesota Experiment station.
The Minnesota Experiment station
advises brush screen, placed six feet
above the ground, for shading straw
berry beds. MANY complaints have
reached u.s." S. B. Green writes, in
Bulletin %, ''of the difficulty of secur-
ing good crop of Strawberries in ex-
posed places on the prairies, even when
the plants had grown well and both
staminate and pistillate kinds were
planted. This trouble is probably due
to the pollen being too much dissipated
by the wind. and further to the drying
up of the fruit after it is set by the hot
sun and winds. With the object of
finding remedy for this trouble, some
preliminary experiments have been un-
dertaken, in one of which part of the
straw berry bed, including mostly
plants of a late variety, named Parker
Earle, was shaded with brush screen,
such as we use for protecting evergreen
seedlings, and as shown in the cut
herewith. The result was that the
plants under the screen matured all
the fruit, while on those not thus
shaded MANY berries were sun-scalded
and many others failed to ripen. In
the first case we had full crop; in the
second, perhaps one-half. This is con-
6rmatory, though not by any means
conclusive, data on which to recoms
mend this practice to those wishing TO
grow Strawberries in very exposed
places. But it would seem, however, a
very rational suggestion, when we re-
member that generally the best fruit,
and certainly the best late fruit of
straw berries, is found in the wild state
in locations somewhat protected and
shaded. and that in such places the
foliage is seldom affected with flung GUS
diseases.
The past season was in point of
moisture an exceptional one and not
the best in which to make this trial a
good screen for this purpose is made
by setting posts with natural crotches
in one end connected together by
poles and covered with willow or
other brush sufficient to give play of
light and shadow on the bed, but not
