General Clark, and the B. & o.

Gen. James G. Clark, President of
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and so
well and favorably known to the peo-
pie of Maryland, has always shown a
sincere affection for his old home as
well as for his old friends. Gen. Clark
for many years past has occupied one
of the most prominent positions among
the great railroad men of the west.
Whilst in charge of the Illinois Cen
trail he had the assistance of his two
sons, and his son-in-law, all of whom
have turned out prominent railroad of
ficials. His two boys are now con-
nected with him In the management
of the Mobile and Ohio. The name of
Gen. Clark has been mentioned in
connection with the Presidency of the
b. q o. 1t was upon this road the
Gen. first gained his. practical knowl-
edge of railroading which has been of
such great service to him. 1t would
be great move to bring the Gen. back
to his old home to take charge of this
great railroad property; he would make
it go for them, as there is lots of fire in
our old fellow townsman.

CARDINAL SATOLLI
Invested with the Papal Favor in
Balt1more-Many Church Dig
nitaries Present-Gorgeous Cere-
monies-Satolli Recently Visited
Frederick.

In the Baltimore Cathedral, on jan
uary the 9th, Francis Satolli, titular
Archbishop of Lepanto and Papal Alb
legate to the United States, was eleva-
ted to the cardinalate and formally
vested with the scarlet, which marks
the rank of Cardinal.
1t was an event of interest to the
Catholic world, and was an unusually
grand and picturesque ceremony.
Archbishops, Bishops, Monsignors and
divines of various grades in the Church;
statesmen high in the affairs of the
Nation, diplomats representing foreign
countries, and hundreds of Catholics
and nOn-CathOlics witnessed the serv-
ices attending the creation of Cardi-
nal-exercises which were held to-day
for the second time in Baltimore and
for the third time in the United States.
Prominent prelates from every Sec
ton of the country took part in the
proceedings, and the splendor of the
vestments, the grandeur of the music,
and the pomp of the ritual combined
to afford spectacle of impressiveness
and brilliancy. Almost every Catho-
lie diocese on the American Continent
was represented.
Cardinal Satolli recently paid a short
visit TO the Novitiate in this city, an
account of which appeared in the CITI-
ZEN at the time. 1t is probable that
he will be called to Rome and sue
cessor appointed as Papal Ablegate.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

It never Injuries a tree or vine to cut
out the dead wood at any season.
Black rot is caused by the growth of
a fungus upon the affected parts of the
grape.
Under no consideration should water
be allowed to stand around the roots OF
plants.
Gooseberries and currants are easily
grown and there is rarely an oversupply
of them.
Young strawberry plants are often
killed by the application of strong fer
tilizers.
No other fruit requires so much ma
n1lre or such thorough cultivation as
the ounce.
During the early winter is a good
time to haul out and spread manure in
the orchard.
Sugar maple is good either as for
est or an ornamental tree. 1t will do
well on a rocky hillside.
Successful fruit growers are those
that have clean orchards-this means
clear of rubbish as we'll as weeds.
Fruit trees, grape vines and bushes
have no place in the garden, as they
draw nourishment from the soil.
The cherry is about the only fruit
tree adapted to roadside planting.
The tramping of stock and the passage
of vehicles will kill almost any other
kind.
One of the most serious objections
to giving the sheep the run of
the orchard, especially at this time,
is their propensity to gnaw the bark
of the trees.
Pruning when the plant is dormant
tends to impart vigor, but if done when
the plant is growing or in leaf it checks
growth. For this reason a feeble tree
should always be pruned in winter

ENGLAND is all in hustle, and from
the accounts in the papers. is making
active preparations for war. The Ven
ezuelan affair now rests with the Arbi-
tration Committee recently appointed
by the President, but serious entangle-
ments have occurred in South Africa
which necessitates prompt action on
the part of Great Britain. 1t is stated
that a flying squadron of battle ships
and cruisers is being prepared for in
slant departure to the scene of trouble.
The outcome will be watched with in

pERISHABLE CROPS.
Everv Farm Should Have q Separate
House for Storing Them.

Farm
House for Storing Them.
There ought to be on every large
farm a separate house for the storing
of fruit, potatoes, roots and other per-
ishable crops. The temperature can
then be properly controlled, and prop
err accommodation provided = some
thing the ordinary house cellar very
inadequately secures. Where loose
field or cobble stones are at hand In
large numbers, either in piles or in the
shape of useless old stone walls, an
excellent plan is to make such a house
of these stones, laying them up in lime
and cement. Where the stones are
right at hand house can probably be
built of them cheaper than OF wood,
and when well built nothing but the
roof will ever need repairs, while the
interior temperature will be much
more equable than in a wooden build
ing. This building gives opportunity
to drive in on the upper floor, SO that
potatoes, apples, etc., can be unloaded
into gently inclined troughs having
Iatticed work bottom that will sort
whatever goes over it, and will convey
the different sizes of fruit or tubers in
to different receptacles. A team can
be backed into the basement to load.
Such a building will be wonderfully
convenient, and where crops are large
very profitable. Farm Journal.

SEVERAL well known citizens, DEM
ocrats as well as Republicans, went
down to the Ancient City to witness
the inaugural ceremonies attending
the elevation of Lloyd Lowndes to the
Governorship. From all accounts the
event was most interesting and the pro-
gram was well carried out. Maryland
is now, as far as her State officials
are concerned, for the first time in
thirty years, entirely Republican.
We have been promised reform from
A to lizard, and lots of other pretty
things. All we care to say upon the
subject is, that if the Republican party
but follows out the conservative policy
instituted and maintained with so
much credit by their predecessors,
they will do well. There was no State
in the Union better governed than our
own, and this fact should inspire the
new ''powers that be-" with the pur-
pose of keeping it in the proud posi-
ton it has always held in the annals of
commerce and progress. Governor
Brown has made competent and able
executive and enters private life fol-
lowed by the best wishes of the people.
We wish the new Governor success in
his administration.

The Ancient City on the Severn, ac-
cording to press dispatches, was never
before so populous as it was on We'd
nesday last.
Everything combined to make the
inauguration of Lloyd Lowndes as the
first Republican Governor since the
war an event in the annals of the Cap
ital of Maryland.
The ceremonies immediately Incl
dent to the qualification of Mr..
Lowndes as Governor were simple and
in good taste, which conforms with
the requirements of Democratic con
stitution. Mr.. Lowndes entered the
old Senate chamber, in which the
members of both Houses, the Judges
of the Court of Appeals, and large
assembly, including many ladies, had
gathered, in company with the retir-
ing Governor, Frank Brown. He
seemed to appreciate the solemnity Of
the occasion. When the chamber rang
with applause he bOwedG and then
moved on TO the large window on the
right, through hich he passed to the
stand which had been erected outside.
Here he was introduced to the multi
tude by Governor Brown, who made a
brief valedictory address.

ed head; this over, he returned to the
Sppat' Chamber and took his position
hehind the Presidents desk Chief
Justice Robinson handed him the
Billie, while Secretary of the Senate,
J. Roger McSherry, laid the textbook
before him. Mr.. Lowndes in a clear.
firm and earnest tone, took the oath of
office and then kissed the Bible
reverently. Then he wrote his name
in his charistically bold hand. The
pen he presented to Mrs. Lowndes.
Underneath Mr.. Lowndes' name
Judge Robinson wrote his. This end
ed the ceremony. He was Governor
Lowndes, and among the first to
grasp his hand was Ex-Governor
Brown.
Shortly after the inaugural ceremon-
les, Gov. Lowndes made his first APP
pointment, that of Mr. Dallam, of Har-
ford County, for Secretary Of State.

NEXT Tuesday will be the day on
which the voting for a successor to
Senator Gibson will be done in the
State Legislature. 1t is to be hoped
that the Republicans will not repudi-
ate the long established Eastern Shore
law, simply to crafty the petty parti-
sardesire of an over ambitious politi-
clan While the services of George L.
Wellington may have been of some
benefit to his party in the late election,
it was not enough to warrant such a
high handed proceeding as is this
mans desire to see accomplished. 1t
would be much better to let the matter
stand as it is, as it has given satisfac-
ton in the past and is just and equi-
table law.

The Nebraska agricultural expert
ment station has issued a bulletin,
from which the following practical
conclusions are drawn: Trees in cul-
tivated ground have darker and more
vigorous foliage than those in sod
ground, with less following, dropping
of leaves, or willing in hot, windy
days. Apples average IA per cent
greater weight on cultivated land than
on pasture land, and II per cent. great
er than on moved land. AS to moist
ure, for every 100 barrels of water in
20 inches depth of soil on sod land,

Evaporation, as one might suppose,
was found proportionate to velocity

WINTER CARE OF COWS.
Feed Them Well and Give Them Plenty o
Clean Bedding.

Feed Them Well and Give Them Plenty Of
Clean Redding.
To get the most milk from the cows
it is essential that they be kept comf0rt-
able. A warm stable means a saving Of
nearly one-balf in feed and larger guam
tity of milk than double the feed given
in an open stable.
When exposed to cold and storm 1t
takes almost the entire ration to make
enough animal heat to keep them fro
freezing. See that all OPENINGS or
cracks in the stable or sheds are closed.
In the average farm stable there is
little occasion to provide for ventila-
ton. Enough fresh air will come in
without arranging to let it in.
Supply plenty of clean dry bedding
A filthy stall overbalances- the COM
forts of a warm stable and good feed.
There is little occasion for the COWS to
take exercise during the winter, es-
pecial1y if in taking it they are exposed
to cold or storms. In fact. when the
watering can be done conveniently N

EVEN Grover Cleveland, who, it is
asserted BY his most enthusiastic adj
mirers, is antagonistic to Senator Cor
man, cannot help speaking in the
most complimentary manner of the
tariff bill, passed by Congress, at its
last session, and refused signature by
him. 1t has been slightingly spoken
of by the press and public as the Cor
man-Brice-Smith bill. 1t is evidently
good enough in the estimation of our
President to preclude the possibility of
having for substitute any measure of
a Mckinley stamp gotten up by the
Republicans. They evolved such bill
as temporary relief to the Treasury,
but in spirit of bluff, knowing full
well that it would be vetoed by Cleve-
land and denounced by the public gen.
orally. The Senate bill is doing all
that is claimed for it and we believe
in doing justice and giving credit

responsible for the present bill, then he
is deserving of great praise and COM

Vegetarian MatrlmoniaI agency.

The German papers are polling fun
at the announcements of matrimonial
agency which has been started by vege-
tarians, and to which none but fruit,
root and vegetable eaters need apply.
The advertisements are certainly very
funny. A workman who says he
knows exactly what his destiny will
be" wishes to meet with a vege-
tartan lady prepared for fruit diet and
emigration" An advertiser who signs
himself Honest Poverty" desires to
correspond with vegetarian lady of
"'good landed estate and childish dis
position" The touching appeal of a
spinster reads: "a vegetarian maiden,
position" The touching appeal of q
faithful heart for q young husband,
willing to live by the fruits Of the
earth"

WIDE TIRES AGAIN.
For Many Farm Purposes They Are Of
Positive Advantage.

EOSlLIFe advantage
A few days ago l was talking with
man who had given wide tires thor
ough trial, and he was loud in their
praise, though he did not claim as
much for them as some people do. He
said that he found them of no advan-
tage in time of very soft roads, as the
wheels would sink into the road at such
times if they were u foot wide, and the
larger amount of mud they would
carry would make up for any difference
in the depth they would cut.
When the weather is very dry and
the ground hard, they are of no par
ticular benefit, either; but at all other
times they save horse-hesh and time,
by allowing heavier loads and requir-
ing less power.
This man told me that for nine
months in the year he finds the wide
tire positive benefit, and for the other
three it is about an even thing. For
hauling over meadows and corn fields
to narrow ones; and at times when
the roads are soft enough for the or
binary tire to sink from six to eight
inches into the road-bed, he can go
along easily with his wide tires.
1 asked him if he thought the roads
would ever get as bad as they do if
everyone used wide tires. His reply
was that the roads In the country dis
tricts of Illinois would be bad if no
one drove over them in soft weather,
but narrow tires, no doubt, made tn, m
worse.
"Fhey suit me- he said in conclu-
sion, land a good many of my neigh
bors are getting over to my way O.
thinking; for I can haul as big load
as any of them when the roads are
their worst, and much larger ones =
almost any other time. "-Faim al,
