CLOVER AND TIMOTHY.

There is good reason for the
common practice of sowing both
clover and timothy in seeding land.
A mixture of the two makes a bet
ter hay for feeding on the farm than
either alone, and as the timothy
checks the clover growth the hay is
more easily cured. Besides, it oftens
happens than when field IS seeded
it may not be convenient to plow it
again under several years. Clover
alone cannot be depended on to keep
a good sod and produce fair crop
after the second year. AS it dies out
June grass and weeds come in and
occupy the vacant spaces. Clover is
absolutely beneficial to the timothy
seeding. 1t loosens the subsoil, and
as the clover roots decay after the
plant dies the timothy will maintain
a good sod two or three years Ion
ger than would be possible if it had
been sown alone American Guilt

A MODEL HORSE PASTURE.

The secret of Trakehnen's fame as
a horse breeding place, according to
our host, is the fact that it is If
rigated in every direction in such a
manner that the grass is rich and
sweet to an extraordinary extent.
The soil, too, is most favorable
deep and spongy. When it was
originally selected for this purpose it
was nothing better than a vast
swamp over which the moose roam
ed wild, as he still roams in cir
cumscribed section of the Baltic
shores near the mouth of the Memel
river. The father of Frederick the
Great was a capital farmer, and had
a good eye for horses as well. He
converted this swamp into the rich
est pasture-land of Germany, where
even today one cannot dig two feet
without striking water. In winter
the meadows are flooded, and only
the most careful irrigation preserves
them in good condition for the
balance of the year. There are no
fences anywhere upon the estate,
which stretches about nine miles IN
one direction and three or four in the
other, and were the horses less
docile than they are, it would seem
an easy thing for them to get lost
many times in the year.
Major Won Frankenberg (the super
intendent has all enormous admlra-
ton for this particular horse, and as
he goes to England every year for
the purpose of selecting thorough
breds, and has visited the stud-farms
of nearly every country in the world
it is fair to conclude that his feelings
are not the result of bias.
But" said he, Il insist on one in
dispensable condition-our horse
must not be used until he is six
wears old. He must be allowed tC
get his growth and seasoning before
using. We made great mistake II
1870 in permitting many young
horses, as young as four years o
age, to come into the army. They
nearly all broke down, and in thu
long-run were a source of great los

TO MOVE THE COURT.
Legislative Act to Divide the Sixth
District Court.

The act reported by Representative
Mulholland in the lower branch of the
Legislature last week providing for the
removal of the civil session of the Sixth
District Court from the court house on
Canal street to the county court house
Is considered by the lawyers as being
a step in the right direction. The civil
sessions are held on Monday and Thurs
day directly after the sitting of the criIni-
nal court, and when the latter is of un-
usual duration, the sessions of the former
is extended sometimes until a late hour
in the day. This is the present method
and the lawyers claim that it is very
inconvenient. Sometimes lawyer
has case to answer in the
civil court and one in the Supreme Court
on the same day. He Is compelled to re-
main in the former court until his case is
called, which may not be for hours and is
thus obliged to absent himself from
also that oftentimes their female
clients become sickened with the
sights, scenes and odors of the criminal
court and that il would be far better could
these clients appear at the county court
house where the sanitary arrangements OF
the building are better.
The act also provides that the clerk
shall act as associate justice of the Sixth
District Court with salary of S2400 per
annum; that he shall be vested with full
power to sit in Judgment upon cases both
civil and criminal and that his decision
shall be the decision OF the court. He Is
also authorized TO hire a clerk.
IL the civil session was transferred to
the County court house, the lawyers
claim that cases could be disposed of with
greater dispatch and convenience. The
associate justice could pre- side over one OF
the other courts, criminal or civil. and
there would be no long waits before the
would sit at nine, and the criminal
court at the Central Station at the same
hour. Neither sessions would conflict
with the other, and cases would not have
to be postponed owing to the absence OF
the counsel.
However, there will be no change made
as vet as the act was, by vote of the House,
laid upon the table.

IS THERE A REWARD?
Report that $500 Was Offered for
the Body Of Patrick McCreavey.

John Render, the man who found the
body of Patrick McCreavey at the foot of
Orange street, Saturday, is looking ior
the parties who are said to have offered
the $1,000 reward for the body OF the
young man. Render claims that he
found the notice OF the reward in one of
the daily papers, but that he did not pre-
serve the advertisement not having
imagined that he would find the body.
Render is longshoreman, and on one of
his trips in his boat last week he found
McCreavey's hat floating in the
water OF Slip 8. Phis slight
clue was enough to start
the young man upon his investigation
and since that time he has spent num-
ber Of days searching for the body that he
knew could not be far away.
No one in Providence seems to know
anything about McCreavey, but the story
of the big reward that was offered for his
body has given rise to the rumor that
his parents were wealthy residents of
Port Chester, n. Y. Render is now investi-
eating this story, and IL it is found to be
true he will take the necessary steps to
claim the reward.

13 School street was made Saturday even
ing with but slight interference with the
service. More commodious quarters were
imperative to accommodate the rapidly
increasing business, and lease OF the
premises now occupied has been secured
for number of years.
The new home comprises the entire
front OF the second floor OF the building
numbered 13School street, and Is fitted
throughout with every convenience which
will tend toward improvement
and dispatch in the service
of the news. Centrally located, and
adjacent to Newspaper Row, the Offices

night managers. their assistants and the
head of the local bureau front on School

devoted to the telegraphers and another
to the city staff and department men.
A 2O-wire cable connects the office
with the outside world and puts
New England in immediate touch with
every important news center In both hem
ispheres. This marks an important era in
the history of news gathering in this
territory, for it is the first time that the

is by a needle or bolt acting direct

Gov. Waite Again Lets His
Tongue Get Best Of Him.
By The Associated Press.


DENVER, Col, April 23.-Governor
Waite delivered political speech before
1000 people at the Coliseum last night.
He began his remarks by denoupcIng the
old political parties as corruptiohists and
bribers, and declaring the Populist party
the only honest one in existence and that
only through its success can the country
be saved from passing into the hands Of
the plutocracy. The Governor expressed
himself as decidedly opposed to any in
ternational conference having for its
purpose the settlement of the silver
question.
lie believed that such a conference will
be controlled by gold advocates OF Wall
street and England, and the result would
be ratio virtually q gold standard and
the further depreciation OF silver and the
retirement of silver coin and silver GER
tifcates in America.
The only way TO settle the question, he
declared, was for each State to coin her
own silver dollar of 371H grains OF fine
silver, regardless OF any act Congress may
take upon the subject.
Speaking of the commonweal army
now on its way to Washington he de-
clared the men honest and upright unem-
ployed laboring men exercising privilege
any citizen has a right to. Their cause Is
just and should be aided instead Of him
dered.
"Were called upon to order out the
militia against them, j probably would do
SO, but it would be only the commits
sary department. Were the men going
to Washington to demand the issuance
OF $500, 900 of government bonds, Congress
would take a recess to receive them and
the railroad companies would send them
to Washington in palace cars instead Of
cattle cars and take them home again free
of charge"
He had but little to say on the recent
police board row except to declare he was
justified in all his acts and that he would
rather had died than have one of his
tights wiped OUT by the courts.
