CLOVER AND POULTRY.

The cows and pigs are allowed on
the clover field with profit. and if one
will estimate the space thus given over
to such stock it will be found that, in
comparison with weight, the poultry
will give better returns, with the same
privileges, than the larger stock. We
know of no place more appropriate
for poultry than a clover field The
fowls will not only find the best kind
of green food, but also insects. Then,
again, clover is rich in the mineral ele-
ments and contains many times more
lime than does grain. If not too fat
the hens that are privileged to pick the
leaves of clover will never lay eggs
that have soft shells. They will cost
nothing for food, and will give as good
returns in proportion as any stock, and
with less outlay for labor, doing no
damage whatever to the clover and
being less liable to disease. Glover is
excellent food also for geese, ducks,
turkeys and guineas, and provides an
abundance of food at a low COST

Another case of a guileless country
girl in the hands of an INSCRIPTIONS
Salt Lake woman developed a sensa-
ton at the police station yesterday.
Through a we'll laid plot Of this wo-
man, it is claimed that the downfall
of a Richfeld girl was accomplished.
The arrest was made by Sergeant
Ford and Officer Gillespie last night.
when Mrs. Thomson. one Rose White
and Amelia Nelson. the girl in the case,
were brought to the station.
Amelia Nelson told fearful tale OF
how she had been treated by Mrs.
Thomson, who. she claimed had en-
ployed her about Two months before
to do general house work. She said
that she came to the city from Fich h
field about six monrhs aga and had
been in the employ Of Mrs. Thomsor<
for about two months. She would
never have left her country home had
it not been for the earnest solicitation
of Mrs. Thomson who saiG she wanted
Amelia to come to salt Lake and take
care of her children. of whom there
were three.
Everything went on serenely it
seems until about three weeks ago.
when Mrs. Thomson took Amelia out
on an excursion. Amelia states that
while there her employer introduced
her to fashionably dressed drummer,
who invited her to take a boat ride on
the lake After gaining an assurance
from Mrs. Thomson that he was a
man of honor she consented to do SO.
While out on the water the man made
improper advances and though badly
frightened the girl states that She re-
PEELED him as far as possible and en-
treated him to row back to the land
ing. Instead Of this. the man rowed
farther out on the lake and accom-
plished his purpose.
Before going out, Mrs. Thomson and
the drummer, whose name she does
not recall, prevailed on her to take
some beer. Amelia claims that while
out on the water she felt tired and
dizzy and felt almost deprived of her
strength.
When they had landed at the
pavilion the drummer told her that he
had paid for her company, as he had
given Mrs. Thomson S. before they
went our.
Amelia says that she begged Mrs.
Thomson to have the officers put on the
trail of the man, but though she
promised to attend to this she persist
emily neglected to do SO. She was told
a day or two later by Mrs Thomson
that the man had been staying at a
hotel here, but had left the city. She
never saw hin after that.
= The woman who was arrested with
Amelia had apartments in the same
house that Mrs. Thomson resided in
and was located there when they firf
took the place.
The party gave her name as Rose
White Amelia said that she hads
learned of the woman's bad reputatiorh
on first entering the house, and haas
scarcely ever associated with her. She
and Mrs. Thomson, though, Became
very intimate from the first.
> Both Mrs. Thomson and Rose White
were kept in custody last night, al
though no formal charge has been
placed against them.

A. DREAM.

Oh. it was but dream [ had
While the musician played
And here the sky and here the glad
Old ocean kissed the glade;
And here the laughing ripples ran,
And here the roses grew
That threw a kiss to every man
That Voyaged with the crew.
Our siIken sails in lazy folds
Drooned in a breathless breeze;
AS Ger a field of marigolds,
Our eyes swan Ger the seas;
While here the eddies lisped and purled
Around the islands rim,
And up from out the underworld
We saw the mermen swim.
And it was dawn and middle day
And midnight-for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies of June
And here the glowing. glorious king
OF day ruled DER his realm,
With stars of midnight giittering
About his diadem.
The seagull reeled on languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs the sirens sing
AS we went sailing past:
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy thropgs
Flung at us from their flashing hands
The echoes of their songs.
James Whitcomb Riley.

GoLppUG GLADSTONE.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Replying to an
invitation extended to him by Mr..
George Peel, secretary Of the Gold
Standard association, and son of Wis
count Peel, formerly speaker of the
house of commons, to express his
views on the question of bimetallism,
Mr.. Glandstone writes that he has not
altered the opinions which he had ex-
pressed in parliament two and half
years ago. He adds that he regards
the bimetallic schemes as passing hui
1nors, doomed TO nudity and disap-
pointment. He is convinced, however,
ne says, that if London stands firm
for the gold standard, no power that
pimetallism commands, or is likely to
enlist. will be able to overcome it. Mr.
Gladstone adds that he regrets that
age and its disabilities prevents his
active participation in the controversy.

ANOTHER GREAT BATTLE.

KEY WEST, Fla, Sept. 12.-Advices
received from Cuba via steamship
Mascotte, say that a great battle has
been fought near Camaguey, between
insurgents under Maxine Gomez and
the Spaniards under General Mallo.
The battle lasted forty-eight hours and
the Spaniards We're repulsed with
heavy loss. 1t is reported over 900
Spaniards were killed and wounded.
When the news reached Havana it
caused excitement at the palace.
Roloff and his band have been busy
during the past week, having blown up
troop train near Santiago de Cuba
and a bridge near Sagua. Spaniards
admit that the train was blown up but
claim only five men were killed. Ad-
vices received, however, state that
nearly 100 soldiers were killed.
The harbor OF Havana is almost de-
serted. Not a ship, save Spanish, was
there when the Mascotte left.

MORE ABOUT FRUIT THINNING.

If one wishes to raise the finest-look-
ing fruit and the finest favored, he
will have to thin it to the capacity of
the tree. A great many trees set twice
as much fruit as they can fully de-
velop, and the result is a big burden
of immature and tasteIeSS apples or
pears that can neither be sold nor
eaten. It does not seem to be as well
known as it should be that half the
apples removed from an overloaded
tree will permit the rest to develop
into as many bushels as would have
been secured from the whole crop had
it remained upon the trees, while the
well-developed half crop will have q
flavor and a beauty that will cause it
to sell for a good price. Then. too, an
oVerburdened tree is so weakened that
it has to lie at rest the next year in
order to recuperate, while it is doubt
full If even this rest from production
restores the tree to it's former Vigor.
The size of apples and the quality can
be greatly improved by a proper prun-
ing of the limbs to let the sunlight
into the top, and by thinning of the
fruit when the tree is overloaded
Fruit trees are hayward affairs, and
cannot be left to their own devices.
else they will try to do too much both
in wood growth and in fruit growing.
especially when the tree is highly fer
tilted. In this connection it may be
as we'll to say that the fertilizer for
fruit trees should be particularly
strong in potash and weak in nitrogen
it is fruit, not rank wood growth,
that is needed. Let the orchards and
the small fruits have phosphoric acid
in the shape of bonemeal, and potash
in the form of wood ashes, and good
results may be confidently looked for
if care is also paid to pruning, thin
ming, spraying. etc. Wood aches are
particularly valuable in any kind of

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Colonel D.
E, Spalding,. who lately received 1roln
the Hawaiian government a franchise
for a cable line between the HaWaila n
islands and California, arrived IN this
civ Yesterday from San francisco.
Colonel Spalding, when asked as TO
his MANS for future action regarding
the Pacific cable, said:

with Hawaii, and that at an cary date
will submit a proposition for establish

Francisco and Honolulu and asking for
aid from the United States govern
ment. AS soon as Congress meets a
charter will be asked for by company
of American capitalists, TO whom L
shall assign my concessions from Ha-
wall and if sufficient assistance be
granted by the government to make
it feasible to construct and maintain
the cable line, work will be begun at
once. l have been promised private
subscriptions to stock of the company
to the amount of a million dollars, and
hope our government will grant year.

that granted by Hawaii will enable us
to raise the money necessary to carry
out the project. AS soon as details are
decided upon they will be made pub

scrutiny and investigation as well as
for competition in construction.
Colonel Spalding did not see any of
the state department officials while in
Washington as nothing could be done
until Congress is in session.

SUPPLY Gown FOUNDATION.

To have bees build straight combs
and make rapid progress during the
honey gathering season. is accomp-
plished by the judicious use of plenty
of comb foundation. 1t will repay in
dollars and cents. 1t has been de-
monstrated that colonies helped along
in this way will do far better, even
in very dull and dry weather, than
they would have done had they been
unaided in an equal number Of fine
and otherwise favorable days; and
this because more bees would have to
stay at home and attend to wax Sc
GREETING and comb building. 1t re-
quires from II to Is pounds of honey
to furnish one pound of wax; in fact,
Is times It's own weight; therefore, If
honey can only be gathered slowly,
as frequently happens, in uncertain
and stormy wea tlner, comb building is
delayed, and the laying of eggs by
the queen is hindered. On the other
hand, If foundation is furnished, the
colony will be rapidly advancing ard
increasing in prosperity I think I
may be safe in advancing the idea
that during an ordinary season bees
will store one-fourth more honey If
provided with foundation than those
