THE CONTRACT
Text of the Agreement Providing fer the
Sale of Bonds Submitted to the House.

S$SA0 -
Washington, February 13.-Mr. Wilson,
ch airman of the ways and means COM
mittee, this afternoon reported to the
House joint resolution agreed upon in
committee this morning, authorizing
the issuance of thirty-year three per cent
gold bonds. The report accompan yinR
the resolution includes copy of the
Presidents recent message to Congress
on the subject, and copy of the con-
tract made with the European syndicate
for the purchase of the new bonds. The
report sets forth the main points of the
contract, and states that the object of
the Joint resolution is to authorize the
Secretary of the Treasury to substitute
six per cent bonds for the four per cents
provided for in the contract. The report
shows a saving to the government
be effected by the substitution, of $539, -
159 a year. or SIG. ia, no in thirty years:
The report says: "As it is not believed
by the committee that the issue of
bonds specifically payable in gold will
impose any additional burden or liabili-
ty upon the government than if they are
made payable in coin under it's pledge
and policy to preserve the parity of coius
in the two metals, the saving of this
large amount becomes a matter of sub
stantial moment and advantage to the
government as the parties to take the
bonds are under contract to furnish gold
coin far them, and it seems no hardship
on the government to contract {, pay
them back in the same coin that they
furnish to It,"
The following is

Some people believe that grass pas
ture keeps in the moisture. Experi-
ments made in Nebraska have proven
this to be a fallacy. The orchard was
divided into three parts. Two of them
were in grass, one moved and the other
pastured; and the third portion was Gull
tivated. 1t was proven by actual analy-
sis that for every 100 barrels of water
contained in the first 20 inches of pas
ture, like amount Of ground cultivated
during the entire season contained over
14O barrels. The pastured portion con-
tanned little more moisture than that
moved; but only per cent. more. APP
pies from the cultivated land averaged
nearly IA per cent. larger in weight
than those from pastured land, and over
II per cent. larger than those from
moved land.

GENERAL COUNTRY PRODUCE
Work Progressing on the Elec-
trio Railroad.

Mr.. Charles E. Fleming, of this city,
was recently awarded the contract for
grading the sections of land between
the Braddock toll-gate and this city,
by the Electric Railroad Company.
An impeachment to the perfect compile
ton of this part of the work lies in the
refusal of the owner of certain land
near Frederick to come to any terms
with the company for the right of
way. 1t seems as if the only alterna-
tive will be a jury of condemnation to
atfix value on that strip to be used
by the company for their line and set
tie the matter. If good weather keeps
up, the grading will soon be finished.
The Board of Directors are very busy
to the vast amount of BUSH
mes that has accumulated and have
much before them. Additional con-
tracts will be let from time to time as
progress is made and the work adj
vances.

obtain some expression of his views
through Mr.. Whitney during the sew
eral hours he was in New York. Such
efforts totally failed. Mr.. Gle, eland
would not say word on the poALical
situation.
He was the recipient of many social
attentions, however, and conversed
freely in private with the guests.
Among the things he was overheard to
say was that the passing of the dude
rejoiced him exceedingly. Mr.. Cleve-
land called attention to the fact that
gay youth with only his money to stand
on Is creature who not only has no
place in our republic, but cannot gain

looked very well indeed, and seemed to
have lost his unsightly superabundance
of flesh. He appeared to be in the hap
piest of moods, and very evidently en-
joyed the occasion immensely. He con-
graduated the groom heartily, and de-
clared he was one of the luclkiest fel-
lows in the world. And the political
situation is no clearer.

How to Grow reliable rrees.

Silas Wilson, the well-known nursery
man and tree planter of Iowa, says:
"Root grating, in my opinion, is the
only way reliable tree can be grown.
Idon't care If the pieces of roots are no
more than two or two ind half inches
long. I use good scions, and expect to
get roots from the scions. When they
are hardy kinds the tree will be hardy;
regardless of the original root The
agent will tell the farmer that tree
to be hardy must be grown from q
whole root; that without tap root q
tree cannot be hardy. But while this
Is very nice theory 1t rs not true, as in
any kind of nursery work 1t is almost
impossible to preserve the tap root"
