tere-ting to those persons who are
experimenting with canaigre.
Fears have been entertained that

be over-tocked. While large guam

irrigation viii be practiced and
large quantities OF the roots grown.
but In these islands large crops can
be grown without irrigation, and
our geographical position is such
that we shall always have an adj
vantage over the interior States of
America.
Most of the roots planted in this |.
country last year were planted .
from four to five months too late .
IL
shat was planted before the middle
of November gave a good crop of
fine large roots, rich in fannie acid.
Roots that were planted too late
Will, if not disturbed, grow again
this year and yield a good crop.
The plant Is peculiar, in this coun-
try; it will not grow, no matter
how much YOU irrigate it, before
October. 1t will then commence
and grow until May and June, and
Will then die down and remain
dormant until the next October. to
again 90 through the same course.
There seems every prospect of
eanaigre becoming an important ;
industry on these islands, particu- ,
.arly for small farmers, and the
probable yield OF canaigre roots
will be from fifteen to twenty tons
to the acre, provided the land is
we'll plowed and the crop well Gull {
.ivated. Three tons of the roots
will make one ton of the dried chips

MILLS WILL CLOSE
At OIneyviIIe and Stay Closed Till Operatives
Come to Terms.

Providence Il. l., May 10 Everything
is at standstill in the deadlock at Olney
Vile between the manufacturers and the
operatives who are out on strike. The
general impression seems to prevail that
a break Is certain to come very soon
among the operatives.
Tho mills will be shut down at noon,
Saturday. except that the cloth woven this
week will be finished. next week, and
some of the mills will run a few looms to
make samples Oh which to get orders for
next season.
A manufacturer says that when the
people see fit to come to the manufactures
and say they are ready to go to work. and
work steadily, believing they are being
treated as we'll as the conditions of trade
will allow, and perhaps express confidence
in the readiness of manufacturers to give
them a share OF any Improvement that
may come, there will be no occasion to
prolong the shutdown. The help are be-
ing paid their wages in full.

Base Ball Notes.

The 15-cent admission has greatly
populariZed the grand stand
The indications are that there will be a
very large crowd at today's game.
The crowd appreciated the increased
comfort secured by the partial covering
of the grand stand 1t is hoped that this
good work will be completed, today.
Umpire Hassett's work was very good,
yesterday, and a marked improvement
upon yesterdays game He showed very
good judgment on balls and strikes, and
followed the base plays closely.
1t is human for the base ball enthusiast
to find fault with the umpire, but it is
foolish to question his call of strike where
the ball cuts the plate waist high, as was
done by one or two kickers, yesterday.
The best people of the three sister cities
of the Kennebec are attending the games
in large numbers, and apparently are en-
joying them thoroughly. All agree that
the Remedies can play good ball, whether
they win or lose.
A man or boy who will sneak through
the fence to ball game, is mean enough
to steal sheep. The directors of the ball
company will have detectives on the
ground, today, to watch the fences,
and parties caught in this act will be
carried before the municipal court.

others in that city who are interested in
the work, will meet Manager durham,

BICYCLE vs.. HORSE.
Not Race But Red Hot Lawsuit in Oxford
County Court.

Paris, May 10.-The bicycle case Of
Hamlin VS.. Brett, which attracted wide
interest, last term, is again before the
Oxford supreme court. Hamlin, the
Norway merchant, exchanged bicycl,
for horse with Brett, became dissatis-
fed, returned the horse and brought suit
for the value of the bicycle
The judge at the last term stopped the
trial in the middle saying that if HaInlin
claimed to have rescinded the trade by
returning the horse he could not bring
suit in assumpsit for the value of the
bicycle. Today. Hamlin brought suit in
trover for the value of the wheel.
Among the experts to testify concern
ing the horse are George A. Brooks. pres

Dilworth Pitches Splendid Ball and Game
Abounds in Good PLAYS.
1t was Dilworth's dav.

1t was DilwOrth's day.
The Belfast pitcher was in his old time
form, and shot the balls across the plate
| with speed and twist that was be-
wildering to the Paw tuckets. For eight
innings they We're unable to do much
with his delivery. In the ninth he easef
up little and was batted more freely
but the Kennebees were too far in the lead
to be headed, ami the score closed ii to S
in their favor
Flynn was behind the bat and
did some beautiful backstop work, al
though little weak in his throwing He
also led the kennebecs at bat, securing
four with total of eight hits, including a
three Dagger and a home run. He was
very much in the game from the start to
the finish Kelley played first base and
although now to the position, put up an
excellent game
A feature of the game was the magnifi-
cent running catch of foul fly by
Doherty King put up a good game at
second land the outfield put up an error
less game.
Todd, the crack left-handed pitcher of
the Pawtuckets, was in the box for the
visitors. The last time the Kennebecs
faced him they only made one hit off his
delivery. Yesterday, they had no difficulty
in solving his delivery and batted him
for Is with total of 23 hits. Waldron
did the best work for Pawtucket, secur-
ing hit every time he went to the bat,
and, in fact, he and Yeager were about
the only visitors who appeared to be able
to connect very effectively with Dilworth's
curves.
The game was lively one and kept the
large crowd in attendance keyed up to
high pitch of excitement.
Baker will be in the box, today for the
Remedies, and Kelley will catch. Mel
lor and Davis will be the battery for the
Pawtuckets. The game is sure to be
sharply contested, and if the weather is
favorable there is sure to be large crowd

The role of the nerves in tho digestion

Weather Conditions and General Forecast.

Washington, May 1O-An area of high
pressure covers the Rocky mountain dis
tricts and is moving rapidly eastward. A
trough of low pressure extends from the
lower Lake region to Texas. The pressure
has risen rapidly in the upper Mississippi
and Missouri valleys and on the Southel n
Rocky mountain slope, and it has fallen
in the lower Lake region and ON the
northern Pacific coast.
The temperature has risen in the Allan
tic and Pacific states, and has fallen
decidedly in the upper Lake region, Mis-
sissippi and Missouri valleys, and southern
Rocky mountain slope. Showers have
occurred in Florida, the Gulf states,
Mississippi and Missouri valleys.
The temperature will fall 20 to 30
degrees in the districts east of the Mis-
sissippi river, causing rain and probably
thunder storms generally in the central
valleys and Eastern states.
