Snow In May.
The ENQUIRER is informed on re-
liable authority, that slight fall of
snow was observed by a number OF
persons living four or five miles north
of Yorkville last Monday afternoon.
Memorial Day.
The Memorial day exercises in York
vile, last Friday afternoon, consisted
only in the decoration of the graves Of
old soldiers and others, with flowers.
There were no speeches and not large
number participants in the exercises {;
but the ladies who did take upon them
selves the duty of paying the annual
tribute to the veterans of the "Lost
Cause performed their work of love
and esteem we'll and thoroughly.
Strange weather Tor May.
A cold wave, almost unprecedented
for May, passed over nearly the whole
of the United States on last Sunday,
Monday and yesterday. Ice and frost
have been reported in New York,
Maryland, Ohio, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Virginia and North Carolina, and
several of the Northwestern States re.
port snow. There has been no con-
siderable damage to vegetation, how
ever, except in the Northwest. 1t was
cold enough for frost in this section on
Monday morning; but the frost was
prevented by a high wind. Local
weather prophets say that there will
likely be frost in this section this
morning.
Started the Flood.
The result of the recent dispensary
decision has been to bring in a perfect
food of liquor from adjoining States.
1t is reported that on the day the de-
cision was announced, the people of
Charleston sent out orders for no less
than $50 barrels of whisky and wine.
Columbia also ordered large quaint.
ties of liquor, and the liquor traffic on
the railroads is already growing to
considerable proportions. The town
of Yorkville does not appear to have
been as dry rs some of the other towns
in the State. Inquiries at the express
office on Monday, developed the fact
that up to date there had been receiv-
ed only three crates of beer and no
spirituous liquors. The Narrow Gauge
train, however, has already commenced
hauling jugs and kegs again as in the
days of old.

- Nearly all of the anti-silver papers,
are trying to make capital of the fact
that w. H. Harvey, the author of
Coins School of Finance is realizing an
income of from 500 to $1,000 a day
from the sale of his book. But there
is no capital to be made out of the
circumstance. The free coinage peo-
pie are only too glad that Mr.. Harvey
is being so handsomely paid for his
splendid services, and realizing as they
do that the anti-free coinage people
would gladly double Mr.. Harveys
income to the man who would counter
act the effects Of his book, their en-
joyment ofthe situation is all the more
keen.

DEATH OF MRS. O'FARRELL.

Mrs. Catharine O'Farrell, widow of
the late Thomas O'Farrell, died at her
home in Yorkville last Monday night
at s o'clock, aged II years, Il months,
and 10 days.
Mrs. O'Farrell was a native of Ire
land, and was born in County Antrim,
on the 24th of May, 1917. Her maiden
name was Hare. She was brought to
America by her parents in 1924, and
was married to her late husband, Mr..
Thomas O'Farrell, on February %,
1889. She was the mother Of nine
children-four daughters and five
sons-of whom four; one son and three
daughters, survive her.
Mrs. O'Farrell's death is not thought
to have been due to any organic disease |;
but rather to a general break down,
caused by worry over the recent death
of her husband, and also her youngest
son. The bereavement so weighed
upon her mird that she no longer had
any desire u live, and she at once COM
menced to look forward to death as a
welcome relief.
The deceased has always been regard
ed as a most estimable woman. She
was a member of the Presbyterian
church for more than so years, has al
ways lived the life of faithful and
consistent Christian, was kind friend
and neighbor, and goes down to her
grave mourned by host of friends.

ADTYORCE SUIT

Jesse Johnson, the son Of a wealthy
Mississippi cotton planter, has brought
a suit for divorce against his wife on
the ground that she hypnotized him
and so induced him to marry her. This
lis a divorce suit whose progress and
outcome millions of men all over this
country can we'll afford to watch
These millions of men don't know why
they got married. They do know that
there was something mysterious about
the performance, and that they were
not in a right mind when they took
part in it. They can't explain them
selves to themselves, and they will
feel obliged to the Mississippi man if
he will furnish them an explanation.
The Mississippi mans lawyer can GER
tainly make out very plausible case
for his client. One of the most approx
ed ways of beginning the hypnotizing
operation Is to make the subject look
steadily at some bright object. Is not
this what the woman who wants to
hypnotic man into marrying her
does? What brighter objects can there
be than the bright eyes of such a wo-
man? How fascinating they are to look
at, and how steadily one who is about
to be hypnotized by the owner of them
is made to look at them. Taking him
firmly by the hand she will compel
hours at a time. When she has his
undivided attention she will use anoth-
er device of the hypnotizer. She will
suggest to him that he loves her. and
he will believe that he does and act as
if he did, just as hypnotized boy in
a mesmeric show accepts the "sugges-
ton" that he is broom and sweeps
the stage with himself. She will
strengthen the hypnotic condition by
gentle stockings. After a few treat
ments the subject will be so fully I'M
der her control that she can influence
him when he is away from her by fix
ing her mind on him and making ''sug-
gestions' to his mind. Under the in
fluence of these Suggestions" he
spends all his time when away from
her in longing to be near her, and he
goes near her whenever he can and
whenever she wants to have him. Then
when she gets ready she Suggests" to

counties OF California these irrigation
districts have been formed, their can

talists. 1t Is not strange, then, that
the decision of Judge Ross declaring
the Wright law unconstitutional should
create apprehension as to the effect up
on irrigation projects in general and
especially concerning the effect upon the
district bonds. The San Francisco
Chronicle says: Were the decision of
Judge Ross on the Wright irrigation
law to be accepted as final and con-
elusive, irrigation in California, except
upon very limited scale, would be at
an end. There could be created no
community interest in a specified dis
trict, no common consent to taxation
for the general good. and no plan by
which, unless under exceptional circum-
stances, the wedding of the water and
the land could be arranged and con-
summated.

REST- CURE CORNERS.

REsT-CURE CORNERS.
The "rest-cure" corner is delightful
adjunct of spacious and well-ap-
pointed piazza. 1t occupies the most
retired portion OF it, and is shut Off
from the outside world by growing
vines through whose foliage the sifted
sun-rays fall with subdued light. Fail
ing the vines, curtains of mating, of
dull green In hue, offers a fair substi-
tute, especially as they can be raised or
lowered at will.
Then the rest-cure corner is divided
from the rest Of the piazza by an adj
Unstable bamboo screen, thus securing
semi privacy as well as exemption from
draught. The silk or silkoline with
which the screen IS covered should be
of cool green in tint, stamped with
conventional design in white. A
green and white hammock sways al
luringly across the corner, and its many
pillows, these also being of green and
white, are balsomic and ''woodsy" with
their odorous filing of everlasting,
sweet clover, or pine needles. Even the
soporific hop pillow finds fitting
place here.
On a little bamboo stand with its
dainty cover of green embroidered with
white are a beguiling book, or a new
magazine, and globe or vase of clear
glass with feathery sprays of verdure
and few delicate flowers. The wick
er rocking chair that also belongs to
this corner is low and easy, painted a
quiet shade of green, and it's cushion
of green cretonne with white figures is
tied in with ribbons of corresponding
color. Everything is quiet and restful
in tone and conducive to drowsiness.
The luxury of such a corner would
do much to console the partial invalid
who must remain at home "in sum-
mer when the days are long" for the
| loss of her share in those gaieties that
| overtax the while they charm. Even
to one in health such a shaded retreat
would be source of cheer and a means
of grace, A pity that all stay-at-home
| bodies could not have such!
But good old fashioned grape arbor,
| thickly covered with vines, and ham
| mock slung underneath does very
we'll. The dancing shadows weave a
| matchless carpet underfoot; above, the
| eye rests with delight upon azure sky
| spaces glinting like jewels through the
lustrous LEAKAGE. The colors are ma

dusk of evening. of pearl and silver.

New Haven Lawlessness and wild Carrots.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CaURER;
Recently l spent o couple OF weeks
in and about your city, Judging from
my knowledge of human nature, and
by what I had heard and read with
respect to cities generally I had sup
posed New Haven to be wicked more
or less"-yet l was not prepared to find
it lawless to the highest degree! I will
explain: On the Gath Of July went out
to West Rock. Along it's base, and
further up, lining the roadway where
rock is being dug and carted away, and
about other portions of the hill, found
vast quantity of wild carrots. Two
days later l visited East Rock. In as
cending by the roadway saw few, If
any specimens of this noXious weed
Soon after arriving at the summit l
wendell my way to one of the flower
beds, which is protected by a tiny
fence. Inside this enclosure the first
flower that greeted me was wild car
rot. Apparently it was set there for
the purpose of adding to the variety
of flowers. Later | saw few other
specimens not far away. Passing down
the English drive" they are some
what numerous near the base of the
rock Yet the quantity saw there was
small compared with those at West
Rock. heard one man say to another
that in the city were twelve hundred
persons out of employment. If the
number be no more than one hundred,
trust | may be pardoned for suggest
ing that New Haven can do an honor
able thing for itself by employing a
portion of it's idle people in exterminat-
ing the wild carrots within its limits
thereby obeying the statute law and
setting a good example for other towns
to follow, Soon after a liberal rain
with care one-half or more of these
carrots can be pulled-including all, or
the greater portion of the root. My
impression is that those which break
off below the crown will not sprout
again. Especial care should be taken
with heads which are ripened, or are
so far advanced that if left on the
ground the seeds will ripen and propo-
gate new stalks another season. By
pursuing this course a few years these
Injurious plants or weeds can be rooted
out; particularly so If surrounding
towns were induced or compelled to
obey the law, which their representa-
tives have enacted with reference to
this matter.

POWER,

The influence Of the bicycle is power
full and far-reaching. For instance, a
financial writer claims that savings
banks are feeling the effects Of the
bicycle craze. The great majority of
wheels are bought on the installment
plan, the first payment is drawn from
bank, and after that the surplus
earnings Of the purchaser go to the
dealer instead of to place of deposit.
This writer calculates that half a mill
lion bicycles will be marketed during
the current twelve months, which will
mean an outlay of something like $4O,-
900, OOO
But the oldest impression of the bicy-
Gle thus far noticed is that which it has
made upon the DEMONSTRATING industry
in the West. A traveller writes to the
New York Times to say that the horse
thieves of wyoming. Utah, Arizona,
Montana, and indeed, of the whole far
West, have been reduced to a truly
pitiable condition by the substitution
of machines made in eastern factories
for animals raised on prairies as the
favorite means of locomotion. 1t is not
that there are no horses left to steal,
but that the stealing Of them no longer
results in either excitement or profit.
The once carefully guarded punches"
Of this kind of stock now wander
over the ranges where and as they
please, and it has come to such a pass
that to purloin door mat really takes
more skill and courage than it does to
rustic off a dozen well-broken cayuses.
Three such animals were recently sold
at Spanish Fork, Utah, for $2.15, and
while prices like that prevail nobody
will take the trouble to get up lynch
ing parties or waste cartridges in taking
snap shots at men whose presence near
the herds needs explaining. So the
thieves have been forced to look in
other directions for livelihood and
that daily converse with danger and
death to which they have become ac-
customed.
And the bicycle has also led to the
wearing of red boomers in meeting.
