LESTER ON THE SHERMAN LAW.
His Letter to the Board of Trade and
Cotton Exchange.

His Letter to the Board of Trade and
Cotton Exchange.
Congressman Lester has written the
board of trade and cotton exchange a let
ter in reference to the resolutions
adopted by both bodies urging repeal of
the Sherman law. In it he says:
perhaps it would be more difficult to
show that the Sherman silver law of 1890,
to which / presume you allude, is largely
responsible for the present general de-
preston and stringency of money, than to
show that the Sherman silver laws of
1S13-'74 are responsible for the same thing
Yet that law does embody a policy at
variance with the privileges of the
government with respect to the
rights and powers of congress over the
subject of money, and therefore should
not remain on the statute books.
Congress has no power over money
except TO coin money and to regulate the
value thereof, and of foreign coins" The
government is not the source of money,
and congress cannot legislate prosperity
into the country. However, it can hinder
and obstruct prosperity, as it has done
in measure, by the assumption of au-
thority over matters unauthorized by the
constitution and by failure at times, to
perform its duty within the powers given
it.
1t is my earnest hope that congress will
at an early day correct its heretofore
hurtful legislation on finance and on
other kindred subjects equally if not
more important"

THE SHOOTING JUsT1EIABLE.
The Corners Jury Exonerates Elijah
Keepler From Blame.

The inquest over the body of Joe Murray
who was killed by pistol shot wound in-
ficted by Elijah Keepler Sunday after
noon, resulted in verdict of justiflable
homicide.
There were only four witnesses put on
the stand and only one of these Israel
Smalls, was able to give any of the de-
tails of the shooting. Twenty-Five had
been summoned, but many of them were
afraid that they would be arrested for
gambling and only four of that number
showed up.
Israel Smalls was the first witness on
the stand. He stated that the row had
started over ten cents which Murray said
Keepler had taken from him. Some hot
words ensued and two pistol shots We're
fired. Murray then ran behind tree and
Keepler went over the fence Keepler
returned to the attack, and for time
they kept lodging around the tree, Muir
ray trying to snap his pistol at Keepler and
Keepler trying just as hard to shoot Muir
ray. Murray discharged his pistol twice
at Keepler and turned to run when Keep
Ter followed him and fired four shots, one
of them with fatal effect Murray then
asked Keepler if he was satisfied and he
replied, that as he had shot him he was.
Keepler put the same question to Murray
and got the same reply. Murray then
said that if both were satisfied that
ought to settle the matter then and
there. Keepler thought so too and they
decided to let the matter drop where it
was.
Three other witnesses were introduced,
but there was nothing new brought out
by their testimony and some of them
knew little or nothing about the affair.
The jury then brought in verdict of

TOOK HIM TO THE BARRACKS.
A Wronged wife's Scheme to Get Her
Husband Locked UP.

James Owens, a fireman at headquar-
tiers, found himself rather suddenly
forced into Imprisonment yesterday
Owens and his wife had been having some
trouble, to put it mildly.
The two were walking along South
Bound street and just as they passed in
front of the barracks his wife seized him
and called upon the officer at the sally
port to place him under arrest, which he
did. Mrs. Owens then preferred charges
against her husband for wife beating and
he was locked up.
1t was some time before he could secure
a bondsman, but he finally arranged to
give bond to appear before the recorder
this morning. Owens will be more care

THE ATLANTIC SHORT LINE.
Work on the New Road May Begin al
An Early Date.

President John r. Young expects to 90
to Macon in a few days to arrange some
legal matters in connection with the At
lantic Short Line, and as soon as the pre-

work on the new line will probably begin.
Mr.. Young says the work of building
the new line will not be rushed too rap
idly, but that when it begins it is going
to begin in earnest The progress on the
new line is to be slow but sure He says
he can get the ready money to carry on
the work whenever it is necessary and
whenever he wants to begin, but that it
was TO come from individuals, and he did
not feel like making these requests as
long as business was in such a depress-
ing state.

HARVESTING APPLES AND PEARS.

A late writer says that he has lost
hundred barrels OF choice apples In the
course of his experience by not picking
them ln the right season, often deferring
the work for his c0rn-cuttlng or potato
digging. There 10 no doubt that many
orchardlsts lose great deal by not
gathering their apples In season, or else,
on the other hand, by picking them too
COON. II tho orchard and It's crop are
Valuable, many kinds Of fruit are worth
two seasons OF picking. The first half
Is when they begin to drop from the
tree; but there Il another half or more,
with some varieties which adhere firmly
and remain. II the gathering Of these
ls deferred about two weeks, they will
keep longer and be better In quality. II
Is not difficult to select the most mature
first by their color, aud they will readily
loosen at the stem, while the others
strongly adhere.
The well-kn0wn rule for gathering
pears when the fruit will readily separate
from the tree when lifted half way up, Is
an excellent rule; but there Is usually
less difference In the time OF ripenlng
than with apples. Pears which rlpen
early and In q medium season should al-
ways be gathered some days before ripe.
Choice varieties may be packed In
drawers or boxes, and will become more
delicious Mt maturity than II ripened In
the open air and on the tree. This IL
particularly important with early pears,
and wrapped In flannel and allowed to
remain some days they will be greatly
improved, and those which have slight
blush naturally will redden Into real
beauty when matured. late autumn or
winter varieties require rather less care
and may be treated more like winter APP

SUMMER PRUNING GRAPES.

Charles "A. Green In Green's Fruit
Grower, says: "I found the grape vines
loaded very heavily with beautiful
clusters Of green grapes. i think i
never saw grape vines moro heavily laden
than this year, In Western New York.
The promise Is for large crop, provided
no misfortune follows them after this
date. Many people at this date cut out
lateral branches that contain no fruit.
Various reasons are given for this sum
mer pruning. Some people claim that
by permitting the sunshine to enter the
vines, the grapes ripen sooner. This is
a mistake. The more foliage the vines
have, the earlier the fruit ripens. My
theory Il that this summer pruning Is
all wrong. 1t IL practlced by those who
give grapes high culture; often to keep
the trellis In attractive shape and order
ly. The struggling appearance given
by so many lateraIs, not appearing to
the vine trainer to be attractive. no
ticed that many OF our vines were too
heavily laden with clusters OF grapes.
I recommended to the foreman that they
be thlnned out somewhat. The thinning
should have been done earlier"
