THE "PUNKIN. !"
Pumpkins Do Most Of Their
Growing After Dark.

pumpkins DO Most or Their
Growing After Dark.
A. P. Anderson, graduate student
in the department of botany at the state
university and the holder of the How
ard scholarship, has just completed
some novel aud very interesting
investigations as to the growth of
plants.
In this series of experiments Mr..
Anderson has been studying the growth
OF the pumpkin and its vine, making
use of his new electrical device for
measuring plant growth, machine
which was described in the last number
of the Minnesota Botanical series, and
is attracting great deal of attention
from scientific scholars.
The work has been III progress for
fully week add the interesting fact is
revealed that the pumpkin itself does
evening and diminishes its activity as
the sun rises and begins to act upon the
leaves. From O'clock in the morning
until 8 O'clock in the afternoon the
weight of the fruit dimipishes, owing to
the evaporation of water from the
leaves of the plant. The general results
show that when the fruit grows most of
the vine grows least and vice versa.
The course of these experiments has
been watched with great interest by the
botanical department, as they cover a
part of the science as yet very little
known.
The mere data thus obtained are not
the only objects of the experiments, as
the conditions most favorable for plant
life are also revealed.

G. B. Maben, the POpulist nominee
for city treasurer, has this to say about
fusion:
"Why so much cry against FUSION
which. if brought about as desired by
consistent fusioniSts, means the placing
of Populist representatives in the
legislature. There certainly is no
money in legislative office for an
honest man. True refOrmer5 are not i'll
politics for the stuff there is in it. Law
making power is what we must have
to accomplish any real and lasting re-
forms. If in any legislative district we
can get Democratic support for Popu-
list representative by giving Populist
votes TO Democratic candidate for city
or county office, believe such trade
should be made, providing the candi-
dates directly Interested are agreed on
the matter. In such fusion no principle
is sacrificed, because both parties prac-
tlcally agree on the same principles
involved. Their platforms now are not
SO far apart as imagined. PopulistS
and Democrats agree that we ought to
have a change in our city treasurer's
office so as to get settlement and
to find out whether the city or
the treasurer or his bondsmen
are to lose over a hundred thousand
dollars which are now tied up in busted
banks If the Republican nominee.

reelected. no real settlement can be
had for some time. Is not our duty
plain then? Wis.,, to indorse j. c. Scallen

say: No. They will howl keep in

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 30.-The Times
Democrats special correspondent at
Bluefields writes under date of Sept.
IA as follows: Since my last letter
nothing has created ripple. The
British gunboat Mohawk arrived,
off Bluefields with the ban
ished English and Americans a few
days ago. and none of them were
allowed to come OH shore. The two
Americans, Lampkin and Wiltbank,
were put on board the United States
steamer Marblehead and the English
men were carried by the Mohawk to
Jamaica. If all the rumors on the
streets have any truth in
them, it is best for some
of the banished not to risk q fair
trial of the charges against them. Since
my advent here on the second instant
no arrest had been made. nor has any
one been oppressed in any way. On
the contrary, Oh the Sth inst, all cleo
ton was held for alcalde, four council-
men and a justice of the peace.
1t resulted in the election of
Wernberger. alcalde; DR.. Paul Osterhut,
MesSrs. Eugene Landry. Samuel We'll
and Simon Cohen, cOunciimen. all
Americans, and Robert Sheppard, just
ice of the peace, Colombian. From the
result of this election 1t can plainly be
seen that the Americans had been
i'll no great danger at present.
Joseph MadriZ. special commissioner
of the supreme government, has issued
an edict declaring that the hosting of
foreign flags on private edilices
in this city is prohibited. Commits
sioner Madrid has also issued de-
cree prohibiting the importation of
firearms and ammunition. The
British subjects, alias Mosquito Indians,
still continue to leave Bluefelds for
or fifty having departed on the 18th
inst. One hundred soldiers Of the
Nicaraguan army also departed from
Bluetields few days ago for Managua.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 30.-The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent in Blue
fields, Nicaragua, under date of Sept.
"a, says that Joseph MadriZ, minister of
foreign affairs, who has been in Blue
fields on behalf of President Zelaya,
has suddenly been deposed from his
offic g and ON Sept. IS left for Managua.
The threatened revolution between the
two parties. as far as can be learned, on
the Atlantic coast has as yet not made
it appearance. When civil war does
come, it will be short and the conserva.
tive party, which is composed of the
brains of Nicaragua, will once more be
in power. This party is also opposed to
Zelaya's movements in regard to the
Bluefelds question, and when in power
will doubtless bring about numerous
changes favorable to the foreign popu-
latiOn.

he had received word from his govern

United States as soon as it was delivered

about four weeks ago, being forwarded
by way Of Shanghai i'll the ordinary

This is the first authentic information
received in this city regarding the action
of the Chinese authorities on the treaty.
So long time has elapsed since the
treaty was drawn that speculations

The Tammany executive committee
held an executive meeting yesterday
afternoon in room 4O4 Wright block for
the avowed purpose, it is said, of dis
covering to themselves some way to cut
off the official head of Michael Bres-
lauer, the president of the society.
The failed to come to any definite con-
clusion and the doughty Michael still
holds the winning hand. He is likely to
hold the best cards, too, and has an
nounced that he will not call meeting
OF the Tammany society until the ex-
ecutive committee has decided to quit
all mutiny and fall in line where they
belong.
Yesterdays meeting was behind
closed doors, and of course everything
was dark and mysterious. All of the
moguls i'll the Tammany ranks, A. S.
Dowdall. George McAlllster. John Hur-
ley and many others were there, and
they were all III for the same secrecy.
The committee did not get to work until
after 2 O'Clock, although the meeting
had been called for the later hour.
George McAllister was elected to the
chair, and he looked around in sus-
picious manner as soon as he as
cended to the high position. A thin
looking. peaked.face individual III the
rear of the room struck his fancy. The
man had secretive look, as though he
was wearing a mustard plaster on his
back, or had cOrns, and he was unani.
mously chosen as guard of the door.
just what password was necessary to
get into the august presence of the conf
mittee did not develop, but it was
evident that the thin-looking individual
relied great deal on his discriminating
powers to decide whom to admit and
whom to refuse.
The meeting was stormy one, as
would naturally he supposed. 1t lasted
until O'Clock in the afternoon, and
there was considerable debate over the
best method of getting rid of President
Breslauer. but the way to do it was the
hardest problem of all to deciae upon.
The members of the committee were
almost to man in favor of turning him
down, but there was some fear that
to do SO at this stage of the game
would result disastrously to the club.
Finally, after considering the matter all
OF the afternoon, adjournment was
taken until Tuesday evening, when a
meeting will be held at the same place
When the meeting was over A. S. Dowi
dali was approached for the purpose of
securing some information. He had a
far-away look on his brow like St.

questions he had only one answer.

Changes in the Catholic Church
in America.

New YORK, Sept. SO.-A special dis
patch to the World from Rome says: A
high ecclesiastical dignitary was seen
today by correspondent with
regard to the expected changes
In the administration of Catholic
church affairs in the United
States. He said: 'It is quite true that
the pope is preparing document cons
corning the United States. This docu-
ment will deal with the generel position
of the church in the United States. It
may also discuss the Washington
delegation. Instead of passing
through the intermediary of the
project of the propaganda, Mgr. Satolli
will refer matters to the pope direct.
The question is one of form rather than
Of substance, especially as the pope has
already authorized Mgr. Satolli to judge
large number of cases which
formerly would have to have
been submitted to the propaganda.
AS to assuming, as Mgr. Keane says,
that the pope will transfer the ad-
ministration of the American church to
Washington, the idea Is absurd. The
situation may be assumed up In these
terms: The pope wishes to maintain
and strengthen the delegation. but Mgr.
Satolli will certainly be recalled"

influential merchants are interested in
the move, for they believe it will have a
