The New Site is Situated Just Accross
the Maryland Line.

bAE
Washington, May 1l.-Jacob Coxev's
commonwealers will quit the District of
Columb bla early tomorrow morning The
new camp will be at the famous Spa
Spring, near the historic dueling ground
at Bladensburg, just over the Maryland
line. This decision was reached by the
general of the army to-day, when he
found that his followers could not become
dependent upon the local government but
might be punished by terms in the work
house. The terrors of the workhouse
were more than the commonwealers had
calculated upon. They were willing to be
fed in Jail, if it came to that; but work
disconnected the whole army, officers as
well as privates.
Representative Hudson, of Kansas and
Lawyer Lipscomb, attorneys for Coxey,
Browne and Jones, had long conference
with Police Justice Miller this morning
in regard to the cases of the trio, and il
was decided to file a motion for a new
trial. Defendants counsel want TO argue
the motion tomorrow afternoon, but
Assistant District Attorney Mullowny

september, and 1 think varieties may be
found TO ripen until frost. Currents
and gooseberries came along with black
berries and continued about four weeks.
Grapes began TO ripen In August and
continued till frost, and are with rs yet,
preserved by careful packing. Thus the
small fruits which can be raised over all
the northern part Of the United States
may be on the table seven months out Of
the twelve.
We have found the small fruits no
more difiicnlt to raise than potatoes.
The exception is the strawberry--the
only secret we have discovered In its
culture Is to keep weeds down and give
the plants chance. We have just been
using some canned goo~eberries, and
while eating them some one remarked,
"They are nearly as good as cranber-
ries." We have given them q careful
examination, and come to the conclusion
that this fruit might very largely be
used where the cranberry cannot be
afforded. They have the sprightly acid
qualities Of ihe cranberry, 20 valuable
