President Smith, of the Wisconsin
Horticultural society, is said to have
planted the same variety of potatoes for
years, with the result of steady improve
ment, due to the simple precaution Of
"always taking great care in selecting
the seed"
The surface of the dry western plains,
being packed and bricklike, is impervi-
Gus to water which runs off as fast as it
falls, as it does elsewhere when the soil
is wholly frozen. When this hard crust
is broken up, moisture is admitted to the
retentive land, and all the meteorological
conditions become changed.
The government of Baden has directed
that public official notice be given in
every district warning the people against
eating any American meat without first
cooking it, even when it bears United

amply repaid by the double advantage

1t is fact readily perceived by all
who have opportunity of observing the
eff ct OF windbreaks that the shelter they
afford much more than compensates for
the room they occupy and the fertility
their roots require. In the most valu-
able spaces of cultivated soil in Europe
that used by nursery men and garden
ers-pOrtions are divided into small
chambers by trimmed lines of evergreer
which shelter plants during their tender
youth. Hedges arc an almost universal
defence to fields, orchards and gardens
in England, where there is less need OF
such protection to young growth than in
our fiercer climate.

Nine People Killed and Several Injured
Near Chicago.
Special TO EVENING HERALD.
CHICAGO, Sept ia terrible accident
occurred last night at Matteson, on the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis
Railway, and about fourteen miles from this
city.
Nine people were instantly killed in the
wreck, five were so badly injured it is feared
they will not recover, and fifteen are among
the less injured.
Among the recognized dead are
DAVID JACKSON, Cynthia, Ohio.
CHARLES KENtHAL, Dayton, Ohio.
The fatally injured thus far known are
L. BLoUToN, Cincinnati, Ohio.
LGBBGE JACKSON, Cynthia, Ohio
Mrs. J. W. FOSTER, Springfield, Ohio.
JESSE MORSE, Cincinnati
ALBERT J. SHELDON, Ripley Ind.
The collision was due to a second section
passenger train running into the rear end of
the first
The iIst section had just stopped at Matte
son for water when the second section
crashed down upon it from heavy straight
grade.
Reports as to the responsibility are conflict
ing.
From one source it is reported that the
lagman of the first section failed to run back
a sufficient distance to flag the section follow
ing.
Another report is to the startling effect that
the engineer of the second section was asleep
and did not see the signal of the rear brake
man of the first section until it was too late
to avoid the collision.
The disaster has the same effect upon the
people of Chicago as the great cold storage
building conhagration had upon them.
From reports now at hand none of the
victims are residents of any point east of
Ohio.

Centre streets The two
hose companies responded and were directed
down West Centre street. They were soon
turned back being told that their services
were not required. A great crowd of people
who had gathered about the box from which
the alarm was sounded fingered about the
streets for some time and being unable to
CLEAN any information returned to their
homes with the conclusion that thealarm was
false one.
The real cause of the alarm was known to
comparatively few people to-day. The fire
was in the house of Patrick, alias Fox,
Hughes on West Raspberry alley. A re-
porter called at the house to-day and if he
had recorded all he heard Of the circum.
stances preceding and following the sounding
of the alarm he would have had enough
matter to Gil several columns.
Hughes was intoxicated when he reached
his home some time after nine o'clock last
evening and quarreled with his wife. He
drove her from the house and then taking a
lamp went upstairs to get his clothing. Soon
after the neighbors saw flames in the house
and an alarm was sounded. Hughes put the
flames out without assistance and before
much damage was done.
At eleven o'clock Policemen Casey and
Mcclure took Hughes into custody on com,
plant of his step.son, Richard Hornberger
who charged that Hughes threatened to Kill
him.
The accused was taken before Justice
Cardn and as he was too drunk to be given q
hearing he was put under $500 bail for
hearing tonight.
After being released Hughes returned tc
his home and kept the neighborhood in an
anxious state until this morning. Mean
while his wife and son were under the pro
lection of neighbors. Tonight Hughes may
be called upon to plead to another charge
1t is the opinion of his family that while in 8
rage he dashed the lamp to the floor of his
bedroom, but man who resides on the
opposite side of the alley claims that he saw
Hughes stagger against table and knock
the lamp over

The New York and Philadelphia Sunday
papers published lengthy articles in reference
to the future management of the Reading
railroad, in which it was predicted that
President Harris would shortly tender, if he
had not already done so, his resignation as
the head officer of that company. These
articles went on further TO state that Oscar
G. Murray second vice president Of the Big
-Four Railroad, will become president of the
Reading Company, and will in few days
tender his resignation under the Big Four
with that end in view. The affidavit editor
of the county seat Immediately bobs up with
another exclusive interview, claiming to be
the first paper to predict Harris resignation.
Your readers will remember predicted such
course for the aforesaid editor He could
hardly miss the chance in this exclusive"
business, having stated in different issues of
his sheet that Harris may resign, that he
would resign, that he would be compelled to
resign. "You can fool some of the people all

An idea is suggested by some original mind
which had tired of autograph albums, numis-
matics, flowers from the grave of celebrities,
etc. A fad for making collections of kisses of
celebrated men is rapidly becoming popular
among the ladies of Germany. American
people never do things by halves, and if this
fad should become popular in this country all
celebrities from Sandow to Grover Cleveland
win be asking themselves in despair whether
they were born great or had had greatness
thrust upon them.

That every bit of building space in the
town is being used for building is amply
exemplifed by the new structure which
stands at the southeast corner of Lloyd and
Bowers streets. The plot which until recently
only boasted Of the possession of coal
shanty now ranks side by side in appearance
with its neighbors with an air of pride.
1t is 10 "a feet in size, and has two stories of
two rooms each. The 'front.' has been so built
that it gives the structure the appearance of
being as large as the more pretentious dwell
lings beside it, and now the old coal shanty
must pull along with hardly enough ground
to stand upon.

There was not cultured tear duct from the
eyes of those cultured people that was not
raw from the constant flow of the briny, and
the silk mill-the pride of now humble
Pottsville-was asked to contribute its entire
product as mops to save modern Athens from
humid grave. Pottsville is noted for its
great desire after knowledge, and that desire
overcame its great misery sufficient for its
intellectual lights finding out the derivation
of the word BRADLEY. Some traced the
mild hammered twirler's ancestors back to
the early stages of the Roman empire while
others were sure it was the first word Daniel
O'Connell used, and meant, 81 am big, but
this beats me-" Poor Pottsville! Poor

 Sweet fields arrayed in living green,

Zola on Marriage,

Emile Zola, in curious article enti- tied "How Folks Marry" expresses e1- treme disapproval and disgust of the French marriage system. He contrasts with good deal of rough power the different lives led after the age of 10 years old of the boys and girls who till that time had been playmates and lead ing practically the same existence. Aft CT this happy natural sort of life the paths of the brother and sister, widely diverge. The son goes to the lycee, which has been described as an ''inky Styx," where some may swim, but many drown, while the daughter is either brought up in a tender sheltered home or sent to good educational convent, where she is, if possible, even more pro- tected from outside evil influences than when under her mothers wing
 M Zola makes it quite clear that he leans to the American system of educa- tion. It would be interesting to know what course he pursues with his own children, two bright faced little people who were much ill evidence at the mar riage of Leon Daudet to Jeanne Hugo London Globe
