WASHINGTON, June 19-The post
office department is in great deal of
trouble over receiving many complaints
from principals of colleges and female
seminaries throughout the country.
They claim that there is novel indus
try lately established which must
prove very profitable to its promoters,
and which is very detrimental TO grow
ing and studying young Americans.
There is firm, said to be headed by
the g. A. r. man, Private Dalzell,
which sends circulars TO students
of both sexes, stating that they
will furnish all kinds of literary
productions to be used In their
studies, all the work being original,
and the customer ordering to have ex-
elusive use of the same. price list
accompanies the circulars. Original
essays furnished by the firm, debates,
ETC., range in price from IS cents to 20
cents per 100 words, according to style,
length Aand nature of the subject.
High school orations and essays range
from So to IS; college essays, orations
and debates SO to SIS, and lectures
from $40 up Some of the circulars
have fallen into the hands of the prin-
ciples of colleges, who have sent them
to the department, asking If such mat
ter cannot be excluded from the mails,
After investigating the same the de-
partment has decided that it has no
power to shut the circulars of the firm
out of the mails
The Georgia Senatorshlp.
WASHINGTON, June 19-The retire.
ment of Senator Gordon from public
life, which he has announced will take
place at the close of his present term,
has attracted considerable attention
here to the senatorial situation in
Georgia. According to present in1ica-
tions, it is to be a race between eX-
Speaker Crisp and Secretary Hoke
Smith. The secretary is very conf
dent of the strength OF the admins
tration in Georgia and of the ability Of
the administration forces to carry the
state for Sound money" Speaker
Crisp has lately made q positive and
unequivocal announcement of his posi-
ton, which was not misunderstood, com.
ing out squarely for the independent
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
a ratio of 10 to /. Representative Tate,
of Georgia, says that the withdrawal
of Senator Gordon is going to compli-
cate matters considerably. Patrick
Walsh will undoubtedly come forward
again for further senatorial honors,
but the indications are, Mr.. Tate says,
that the real fight will be between
Speaker Crisp and Secretary Smith.
The Abuse OF Orchards.
WASHINGTON, June IL. = Common
abuse of orchard tracts is pointed out
in statement to be issued by the ag-
ricultural department. This abuse is
the custom which prevails generally,
counting the orchard as field Of the
farm and calling upon 1t for its crop of
corn, oats, wheat, grass and hay in ro-
tation with the other fields. According
to the official warning, nothing could be
devised as more likely to permanently
injure growing or fruiting orchard
than such policy. When the trees
have reached fruiting age, no other
crop should be grown in the orchard,
though while it is young and non-pro-
ductive Of fruit it may be wise to grow
other crops than trees, though there
must be double fertilizing for the de-
of the trees and the other
for the incidental crop. The cultiva-
ton and fertilization should be as reg
ular and constant as II crop were an
nually removed. This plan, 1t is
pointed out, would revolutionize Or
chard culture in many sections and
make many seemingly useless orchards
