The damp, soft air Of Sorrento is per-
feet for the cultivation of the orange,
but Nasal ubrense, which is dry and
more sheltered, is given up to the prod
uce of lemons, which yield an enor-
NOUS percentage to the fortunate pos
SCISSORS of land that can be used for that
purpose. Orange trees are here and there
mingled with the lemons, just as lemon
trees will be seen in the midst of the
orange groves Of Sorrento, though in
neither case are they the chief produce
of the place.
a-Lubrense is largely indebted
for its salubrious air to it's lemon plan
tations. Three years must pass before q
newly planted lemon tree begins to bear
fruit, and in order to bring it to perfec-
ton it must be freely watered. A hol-
low is dug round the base of the tree to
receive the water as in basin, SO that
it may slowly penetrate to the roots
Poles are planted at intervals in the
ground, somewhat higher than the trees,
and smaller poles or canes are placed
crossways above them, which are COW
cred with mating when the winter ap-
proaches. 1t is not removed till the
spring is well advanced, for lemon trees
must be most carefully sheltered from
wind or frost The fruit is gathered
chiefly during the summer months, es-

A Boiler Drilling Machine.

A most ingenious device has been de-
scribed before one of the societies Of
mechanical engineers, England-viz, q
machine for boiler drilling with speed
and precision. In this mechanism the
multiple drilling heads for the circular
seam are described as being mounted
upon cross slide carried by two up.
rights, as in planning machine, this
cross slide being raised or lowered by
hand or power to suit the varying
heights Of rings. The drills on the cross
slide are five in number, and can be set
to varying pitches and angles, and six
drills for the butt seams are arranged
upon vertical column on the opposite
side Of the circular driving table. This
table is an annular ring with large
hole in the center, and is carried on
friction rollers only. In the central hole
stands a strong upright, sliding on an
independent bed below the table, SO that
it can be advanced or withrawn by q
screw actuated from the outside of the
boiler shell, and be brought up against
the inside of the shell opposite to the
drilling spindles, thus forming rigid
support for the work, being available
for supporting the she'll when drilling
the butt seams by being set in the oppo-
site direction. The arrangement is such
that all the drills can be quickly set tc
varying pitches and at the same time
made to point directly to the center OF
the boiler, without disturbing the action

Lease Left Out.

The new state board of charities met at
the Topeka insane asylum and organized by
electing Morton AIbaugh. of Kingman, pres
ident, and George A. Clark, of Junction
City, secretary.
The election of Clark as secretary was a
recognition of the man appointed by the
governor as the successor of Mrs. Mary E.
Lease.
Mrs. Lease was present at the organiza-
ton of the board and gave notice that she
considered the proceedings illegal and said
she would take steps at once to have the
new secretary ousted from the board.
The other mem bers of the board who par
ticipated IN the organization were Senator
K. E. Wilcockson, Walt N. Allen. Sena-
ator M. A. Householder was present but not
recognized as on duty, having been sus-
pended.
Mrs. Lease said that she would commence
proceedidgs In the supreme court immedi-
atey to get D ace on the board and was
confident that she would be successful.

Chiokans Are Animals.

TOPEKA, April 5.-Judge Hazen made a
decision of a great deal of consequence In
the Kansas sporting world. He held that
chickens are animals within the meaning
of the statute for the prevention of cruelty
to animals, and that, therefore. those insti-
gatiug, encourag ng, or attending chicken
fight are punishable under its provisions.
This decision was rendered in the case Of
the state against Ed Ho<sfeld and G. G.
Trim mer, who are charged with managing
a cock main in Topeka last fall. The event
was one of considerable Importance and
brought game birds and their hackers from
every part of the state.
The defendants attorney, S. B. Isenhart
entered a motion to squash the Information
on the ground that 1t did not constitute u
sufficient cause for action. Isenhart held
that chickens ain t animalB they re fowls. !"
Judge Hazen decided that while chickens
were not known as animals in the general
application of the term, yet in a legal sensa
chickens are animals.

CANON CRY, Col, April 6.-The news of
the killing of Mrs. Harry St. John by her
husband at Oklahoma City was received il
this city with the utmost surprise, as she has
always borne an excellent reputation. Her
father, Judge W. B. Feiton, Is Frustrated by
the intelligence. and now lies in d critical
condition at his home in South Canon.
Harry FELTON,, brother of the murdered
woman, is also a resident of Oklahoma City
and will bring her remains here for inter
ment, where her mother IS buried.

in Garden City, Kan, five years ago and
two years later went to Oklahoma, where
they have since resided. She lived here a
mum Der of years before her marriage.
Judge FELTON, is the present postmaster of
Canon City, receiving his appointment from
President Harrison. He has he'd various
public positions, was warden of the state

TOPEKA, April 8.-The quarterly report OF
the Kansas state board of agriculture will
be completed this week. 1t will be chiefly
devoted to the discussion of irrigation prob
lens as especially ada pied to Kansas; alfalfa
culture; wells and we'll water supply west
of the sixth principal meridian, and SUBJ
soiling.
The report will also con tain in full the adj
dresses, papers and discussions at the boards
twenty fourth annual meeting in January
making in all some 230 pages with several
illustrations
Secretary F. D. Coburn says the design in
the preparation of this work has been to
make it practically and at once helpful to-
ward solving some of the more pressing
problems confronting the agricultural peo-
pie of our state at this time, rather than in
the remote bye and bye.
Owing to the fact that the legislature failed
to make an appropriation for postage for
the department to send out these and other
reports it will be necessary for those desir-
ing copies of the quarterly to remit cent?
postage in order to secure them.

Will Nnuar Submit

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April ct is stated
by persons in a position to speak with au-
thority that as soon as Venezuela is con-
WINGED that Great Britain has finally de-
cided not to arbitrate or settle the boundary
dispute, as suggested by the United States.
through AMBASSADOR Bayard, the southern
republic will regretfuly bat resolutely re-
sort to what she reg rds as her only re-
course, a resort to force.
1t is dec AIRED that her people are ready
to see their homes and their cities desolated
and laid in ashes rather than submit to what
said that the contention with Great Britain
is not so much one of territory as sentimen
and honor. So firmly impressed have the
people become with this that the opinion is
expressed that they would rather see the
country 60 out of existence than pass into
the practical control of fore gn power.

Lease versus Householder.

1t has generally been supposed that tho
right of Mrs Lease to another years service
upon the state board of charities had been
conceded by al concerned. 1t is hardly tC
be doubted that Governor Lewelling ap.
pointed Mrs. Lease to the three years term,
now claimed by Senator Householder. and
that the records in the governors Office were
subsequently, changed IN a manner to res
verse the positions of these two people. But
this forgery has not been proved, and it is
not incumbent upon the administration q
prove it when a much easier solution lies
readily at hand.
George A. Clark was appointed by Gov
crnor Morrill, to succeed Mrs. Lease and he
was so confirmed by the senate.
Governor Morrill, can not be responsible
for the forgeries com mitted upon the bookz
of his predecessor. If Mrs. Lease is entitled
TO place upon the board it must be tbs
place usurped by Householder If she
wants to secure the place she must go into
the courts and contest Householder out
of it.
The Capital says it is understood that this
course has been decided upon.

Marked Tmprovement.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says:
Returns showing the condition of retail
trade in March throughout the country and
ne distrl button of goods of final compari.
ION with the same month in 1894 and 1893
give gratifying evidence that in most trades
and districts marked improvement over
1894 is realized, though on the whole trade
is smaller than in 1893.
Accounts from the chief centers of the
wholesale trade are encouraging. There is
not only hopefulspirit, but the real gains in
business, though not equally distri buted geo
graphically or to branches of trade. The
best news from the industries is that labor
troubles have been settled or avoided. Next
in Importance Is that better demand for
manufactured articles, which gives greater
reason to hope that recent advances from
the bottom may prove successful.
The cotton market is stimulated by the
rise in raw cotton goods, though cotton has
halted. Better demand appears for many
qualities and in some slight advances in
prices. Sales of wool reflect the renewed
confidence of manufacturers, as strikes are
out of the way, for 6,675, 100 pounds were
sold last week against 4, 468, 200 last year.
\ o rise in prices is seen or expected in
view of heavy sales and receipts of foreign
wool.

That Venezuelan Grant.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April A. There is
great deal more in the news from Faribault,
Mimi, of the grant of a con cession by
Venezuela at the the mouth of the Orinoco
than is indicated in the dispatch. This con-
cession may become more or less famous IN
the history of the diplomacy of the United
States and Great Britain. The concession
is well calculated to bring to an acute stage
the most trou blesome diplomatic questions
before the state department and one which
has caused the administration more real
concern than the Alliance affair, the late
Guatemalan- Mexican dispute and other in
ternational episodes.
The concession is in the heart of the terri
tory long in dispute between Venezuela and
Great Britain. The land included in the
concession is the vital point of conflict be-
tween Great Britain and Venezuela. The
Orinoco is the great commercial artery of
South America, running far inland through
Venezuela, Brazil and other countries. Who
ever controls the mouth of the river, Min
lister Andread says, will control this great
commerce.

Another Cattle Scare.

Chairman J. w. johnson and Secretary J.
w. Moore, of the live stock ganitary COM
mission, have made an examination of cate
in the vicinity of Garnett. The commission
was accom- panied by DR.. Mayo, the veterina-
rian, who thought he had discovered pleuro-
pneumonia among the cattle in Geary coun-
ty. Some of the stockmen about Garrett
have complained to Governor Morrill, of a
mysterious disease among the cattle in the
vicinity, and the commission was sent at
their request.
w. 0. Wright. who lives on farm eight
miles east of Winfield lost ten head of cat
tie in forty-eight hours, and some of the
dealers and fes der5 in the vicinity became
agitated as to the probable cause of the
deaths.
A thorough examination of the feed Mr..
Wright had been giving his cattle convinced
the members of the commission and DR..
Mayo that it was wholly responsible for the
death of the cattle He had been giving his
cattle a large amount of wild rye, and the
presence of ergot in the rye caused the sud-
den deaths of the animals. Ergot is fun
gus growth, which forms on wild rye, and
an examination of the rye Wright fed re-
vealed its presence in large quantities. The
water they have been drin king was muddy
and filthy. These cattle had also been eat
ing corn fodder that had been almost buried
in mud and dirt and that which was not
covered with mud was driven full of dust in
a sand storm.

PRAYER Not Privileged.

Los ANGELES, CAL, April 4.-Judge Clark
has overruled the demurrer interposed by
Rev. J. c. Campbell in the suit charging
him with sandering Miss Tessa L. Kelso
the librarian of the Los Angeles public
library. The basis of the action was prayer
offered by the defendant before his congre-
CATION in the First NJ. E. church, in which
he said:
"Oh Lord, vouchsafe thy saving grace to
the librarian of the Los Angeles city library
and cleanse her of all sin and make her
woman worthy of her Office"
Rev. Campbell in his demurrer took the
position that his statement was privileged.
The court held that SANDER can be per-
petrated in the form of a prayer as readily
as in any 9th : form of speech, and that no
communication made by parson or priest to
his congregation is privileged because of
such relation, unless. perhaps, when mace
in the discharge of his pastoral duties, sub
ject to the discipline of the church, and then
only unless made without malice,

mrs. Baird.

The Kansas City, Mo-, board of health
decided after conference with representa-
tives of the state board of health, to dismiss
the case against Mrs A. J. Baird. the Chris
tian Science doctor arrested week ago.
The object of the local board of health in
dismissing the proceedings is to give the
state board an opportunity to deal with
Mrs. Baird under the state law. What will
be done is not fully decided, but it is known
that mem bers of the board have been in
vestigating the case with view to punish
ing her for criminal Negligence.
In the city case she admitted that she was
not registered physician and said there
was no reason why she should be- She does
not practice medicine. and claims that drugs
and medicines of all kinds are nostrums in
furious to the body and of no value in curing
disease. It is claimed by Mrs. Baird and
her friends that Christian Science includes
both a religious creed and a separate and
distinct art of healing. There are two Chris
tan Science churches with about ZOO men,
bers in Kansas City, and a majority of the
memb rs are said to scorn medicines of all
kinds as heartily as does Mrs. Baird herself.

Rents and Interest Net in It.

The United States supreme court, in the
income tax case, has reversed the decision
of the lower court, but the income tax as a
whole is upheld only by a divided court.
Two important portions of the law, how
ever have been decided to be unconstitu-
tional, and they are SO serious as to effect
materially not only the revenues of the gov
eminent, but the estimation in which the
income tax will be held by the people.
Under the decision all incomes derived
from rents are exempted from taxation by
from state and municipal bonds are SINH
larly exempted. In other respects the in
come tax law stands as it was passed last
August, but the result of the consultations
in the supreme court shows very conclu-
sively that the law can easily be picked to
pieces provided suits are brought to contest
each particular point as it comes up.
