The Colossal Impotence and Remarkable
Success OF Robert Williams Dnvey.
For some time New York reporters have
been interested iri an attempt to solve the
mystery surrounding the identity OF pris-
oner at the Tombs who Is set down on the
books as Robert Williams, aged AZ, an Eng
lishman. There is a strong suspicion that
the prisoners full nameis Robert Williams
Davey, and that be Is phenomenally au-
dacious and successful English swindler.
According TO London Truth, Davey was
until 1884 a commercial traveller Shortly
after that time, however, he developed into
promoter and financial agent on mag
riiicent scale. He went to London and
started an enterprise which went by the
name Of the "In.peri2l college" The money
paid for stock in this concern went into Da-
yey's pockets, while by extraordinary agli-
ty he eluded the grasp OF the law and the
vengeance OF his victims After many
crooked transactions he managed to estab-
lish himself in fine house in Portland
place and appeared to be on the top wave
OF prosperity
Here is one Of his blacllmailing schemes
that illustrates his fertility OF resource and
his sublime cheek. A well known member
Of parliament, then on the Continent, re-
ceiysd letter from Davey in November,
1891, asking for an interview. A second
letter followed, stating that the matter was
urgent. In February 1899, when the NJ. p.
got back to London he called on Davey at
bis house. Davey then explained that he
had been acting for another member Of par

Church Of England and for him Che caller).

about the three gentlemen from appearing
In the newspapers ut the request, as he said,

Northern Pacific from Portland. Eight
of these ears will go to St. Louis and
two to the Atlantic seabCard Next

WINTER SPRAYING.

The State Board of Horticulture has
recommended that all orchards or trees
which are infested with San Jose scale,
Woolly Aphis, Oyster Shell scale, or
any other injurious insect pests or their
eggs or larvae, shall be disinfected by
spraying with, or using, the formula OF
the lime, sulphur and salt herewith
given, or some formula of like equal
strength, Immediately after the leaves
are shed, and during this dormant sea-
son of 1894.
1t also recommended that all fruit
trees now growing in this state, so far
as possible, he sprayed or washed, as
above recommended during this dor
nlant season, as a preventative from
the attack of any insect pests or fungus
disease.
FORMULA.
LIME, SULPHUR AND SALT SOLUTION
Uuslacked lime 40 or 60 pounds
Sulphur best powdered) 20 pounds
Salt Is pounds
Concentrated I've 2pounds
Water to make 60 gallons.
When 90 pounds instead of 40 pounds
of lime are used, the solution has a
whittier appearance and the operator can
better detect when every limb has been
properly treated with the wash.
1t is asserted by leading growers who
are using the wash, that the lye is an
aid in dissolving the sulphur, and pre-
venting the solution from burning.
Some Orchardists have used pounds
of lye instead of two. The solution
should be thoroughly boiled, and well
stirred to keep from burning.
1t is recommended by the board that
where the apple scab, pear scab. OF
other fungus diseases were very pre-
valen last year that pounds bluestone
be added to the above rmula. The
bluestone can be dissolved by placing it
in bag, suspended in separate casts
containing water.
DIRECTIONs-Place ten pounds of
lime and twenty pounds ofsulphur and
the I've in boiler with tweut.y gallons
of water, stir and boil over brisk fire
for not less than one hour and half, or
until the sulphur is thoroughly dis
solved. When this takes place the
mixture will be all amber color. Next
place in cask from thirty to fifty
pounds of unslacked lime, pouring over
enough hot water to thoroughly slack
it (being careful to keep it moist and
not to slack it by abprning), and while
it is boiling add the fifteen pounds Of
salt. When this is dissolved add to the
lime and sulphur i'm the boiler and boil
for half all hour longer, when the
necessary amount or water to make
sixty gallons should be added. 1t
should then be strained through gunny
cloth or burlap. When using, it should
be frequently and well stirred. In APP
plying this wash a strong rubber hose
and nozzle having rubber orifice or
plate should be used, as those made of
brass are soon worn out BY the action
of the lime. 1t is of much advantage
to apply the solution while hot.
In order 20 reach every part of the
infected branches, where trees are badly
infested, it may be necessary to apply
second sprayingin the spring before the
swt II.
Through local horticultural societies,
arrangements may be made to purchase
material for spraying in retail quantl-
ties at wholesale prices.
