treating of the question of more and
better cultivation of orchards ami less
irrigation. His argument is strongly
corroborated in the case of some
orchards near Denver, belonging to
the Stark Brothers. An eye witness
testifies that the large orchards referred
to are in region where irrigation is
almost wholly depended upon to pro-
duce crops of all kinds, and yet these
trees have been brought to bearing age
and condition and produce abundantly
without any irrigation whatever. 1t
IS there a mere matter of care and
proper cultivation. 1t has been proven
over and over again that proper and
thorough system of cultivation may be
made to 90 very far to supplement q
light rainfall, and yield the most
valuable results. with the use of a
small amount of irrigating water.
These magnificent orchards of the Stark
Brothers stands as a most valuable
object lesson showing what may lie

SORGHUM SYRUP BY IRRIGATION.
The eighty aid ninety gallon crops
of syrup realized by Minnesota and
Mississippi valley sorghum growers is
laughed at by the Central Washington
farmers who have been engaged in the
attractive industry but year OF two.
Oae Yakima valley farmer who last
fall Ina a n;ce field of tho sweet stuff
reports a yield Of 200 gallons per acre,
which sold readily in the local market

grower made 800 gallons on two acres,

produced on his former farm in Iowa.
1t sold at 20 cents in the home market.

Excursion to Chapel Point.

There was not a very large crowd on the
excursion to Chapel Point yesterday given
by the Eastern Dispensary, but those who
were along enjoyed themselves to the full
limit The cold and rainy days which pre-
ceded the excursion mad the effect of keep
ing down the attendance, and SO, although
the excursion was a success in every way
but a financial one, the management eN-
press doubts about having even come out
ahead of expenses. They hope to give
moonlight excursion to Indian Head in
Jure, however, to retrieve their loss on this
occasion. Those who awaited themselves
of the beauty of Chapel Point and its sur
TOUT dings, and the beautiful day, and aided
the worthy charity for which the excursion
was given were Mrs. Edward 7. Whitfield,

Asks m Accounting.

Upon the application of Mary A. Ander-
son. in a bill in equity, filed by her against
Mark w. Moore and John j. Wilmarth,
Judge Cox has restrained the sale of her
property, $40 c street. granting a temper
airy order, returnable on the 2Sth instant.
The complainant alleges that in 1892 she
was carrying a loan of $4,000 on the prop
erty when she was induced by Wilmarth
to borrow $l1 500 from the Granite State
Provident Associa ton, taking eighty-five
and half shares in the association, on
which she was to pay 50 monthly. She also
gave her notes and deed of trust to cover
the loan and stock. Subsequently. it is
claimed, she learned that the money bor-
rowed came from one o. A. Jones, and she
proceeded to deal with him, when her
property was advertised for sale on the
2Sth instant. She alleges that the associa-
ton claims SlS,556 to be due it from her,
and she asks that the proposed sale be
stopped and an accounting made.

Attach Them TO the Trucks.
the Editor OF The Evening Star.

Your editorial on the fender, rs it
appeared in last nights Star, is agitation
in the right direction, of course, but in all
that has been said and written on the sub
ject no one seems to have thought to call
attention to the fact that fender fas
tened to the car bed is of but little value as
a safety device. A fender so. fastened can
not be hung low, for the springs in the
close-built trucks in use under street cars
would at times allow the fender to strike
the street. Every one has noticed how the
car swings, especially at crossings and
switches. If it is, therefore, necessary to
hang the fender SO that, to prevent strik-
irg when the car swings violently, it shall
clear the track ten inches, the normal
height of some of them, it simply means
that when the fender swings to ten inches
above it's normal position it makes the am
plitude of it's vibration twenty inches, or
higher than the drawbar support, and
therefore at that particular moment no
better protection than the car bed itself
This vibra ton of the Tenders would be
eliminated If the fender were fastened to
the truck and could therefore be hung to
clear only two inches. This IS the only
place to fasten a car fender at all, al
though somewhat more expensive. 1t is to
be regretted that the Commissioners in Sc
lecting a fender, did not give this point
more consideration. c. +. j..

Will BE Brought Here.

Detective Carter went to Philadelphia
yesterday afternoon to look after the case
of James, alias "Reddy'' Eckles, who is
under arrest there on the charge of horse
stealing in this city. When the officer
reached that city he learned that the pris-
oner, who had been arraigned Tuesday,
plead drunkenness as an excuse for his
conduct. The prisoner. as published in The
Star at the time of the theft, was in the
employ of Mr.. Joseph Bates, and he stole
the horse from the stable and disposed of
the animal in Anacostia, receiving a
worthless horse and a few dollars for his
plumber. The horse received in trade was
put in the stable in place of the stolen
animal. Eckles has been turned over to
the marshal and will be brought here for
trial as soon as a warrant of removal is OBJ

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The letter in The Evening Star of the ODD,
on the subject OF sick lines, evidently was
written by some one who knows nothing
of the subject he is writing or is selfish
enough to demand the sacrifice of all COM
fort of the unfortunate sick to his care
lessness. When sick lines are necessary
they should be made conspicuous during
the day by flags, and at night by lights.
The streets being paved with asphalt is no
reason why they are not necessary. The
ordinary driving on the streets is but a
small portion of the noise on the same,
and driving alone on asphalt streets is
noisy enough to be a sore afflction to the
very sick, in fact, they are peculiarly so.
Sick lines are very little inconvenience to
the general public, and a great comfort to
the very sick. Therefore, when necessary,
give them the benefit of the sick lines.

n National Temperance Convention.
A meeting Of the executive committee of
the Anti-salooI League was held yesterday
afternoon, and it was decided that it will
be impracticable to hold a conference in
this city preliminary to the calling of ma
tional temperance convention. 1t was found
that e large number of those to whom in
vitations were sent had previous engage
ments which would prevent their attend
ance. The idea Of a national convention IS,
however, not to be abandoned, and the sec
rotary of the executive committee, Mr..
Jesse c. Suter, is under instructions to be-
gin preliminary correspondence at once.
Among the organizations which will be
asked to send representatives to the con-
vention are the Epworth Leagues, Chris
tan Endeavor Unions, National Law and
Order Leagues and all the temperance So
cieties of the various religious denomina-
lions. Besides the representatives of these
bodies, there will be invited the most prom
inent temperance workers from all parts Of
