EX-GOVERNOR TAYLOR,
He is Spoken of For Reelection to His
Old Job in Tennessee.

Nashville, Tenn, March 31.-It is
given out officially today that j. A. Har.
ris who has been prominently mentioned
on the gubernatorial ticket has with
drawn from the race and declines to
enter the contest for governor under any
circumstance. His withdrawal leaves
the field open comparatively speaking
though the name of Ex-Governor II. L.
Taylor, who is at present on a lecturing
tour in Texas. has been placed most
prominently to the front by his friends
here. The ex-governor is known through
out the Union for his famous race OF
years ago with his brother as his op.
ponent, and his friends are confident
that he can be elected to his old position
if he will only say the word.

THE RAINES LAW.
1t Was Strictly Enforced in Brooklyn
4 Dry Sunday


a Dry Sunday.
New York. March 29.-The Raines
liquor bill was not enforced in this city to-
day because Chief of Police Conlin and
the corporation counsel were in doubt as
to whether the bill goes into effect before
April 80. In most of the cities through.
out the State the law was enforced.
The Raines law went into force in
Brooklyn today. The mandate had
gone forth from the police commission
ers and the district attorney that the
law would be strictly enforced and every
saloon keeper within the jurisdiction of
the police was notified to comply with
this provision. That they. did so was
apparent to everybody. Saloons-side
doors and all-were closed tight.
Blinds were drawn and in cases where
panels INSTRUCTED view of the bar
from the street, they were thrown wide
open. Never in its history has Brook
Ign experienced such a dry Sunday. The
restaurants and clubs were just as dry
as the saloons.

MET AT ALEXANDRIA.
Large and Interesting Proxramme
at the EnrIners' Institute.

ANR-N<S 1uEf&lute.
The Farmers institute was held ON
the l1th and 18th inst. A large pro-
siaAaIfe was given and various phases
81 agIlcuIture We're discussed. Much
prominence was given to such sub
Jects as growing corn, clover and the
various elasses of live stock. Mr. u
}. Cults, of Howard Lake, also precent-
ed the subject of growing small fruits
lncludlng currants. gooseberries, straw
berries and grapes.
Currants, he said. and also goose
berries could be grown successfully in
any part of the state, at least certain
varieties of them can. The Red Dutch.
SteWart's Seeding, Long Bunch. Hol-
land and White Grape currart a re very
hardy, and the same is true of the
Houghton and the Smiths improved
iS0oseberry. Currants are started from
cuttings and gooseberries from LAYERS.
The fresh growth Of the currant should
be taken in starting young bushes Six
inches of such growth will suffice Plant
In beds. Give cultivation to keep down
the weeds. Then, when the young
bushes have been firmly rooted, plant
the same in rows. These rows should
he six feet apart where land is plenti-
full, and the plants should be four feet
distant in the line of the row. Goose
sberries may bezset at similar distances.
The bushes should be kept clean the
FIRST year by cultivation and then the
ground may be kept clean by heavily
n1ulching with straw. Pruning is very
important. 1t should be severe Not
more than half a dozen branches should
he allowed to grow FROM one root, and
no root should he kept that lis more
than -four or five years old. The new
wood, that rs, the wood of the new
branches that come UP in the spring,
SHOULD be cut back to fully one-haif
its length. Side branches will then be
thrown out that will bear fruit Cur
rants and gooSeberries that are thus
grown will bear fruit for many years.
And if manure is APPLIED now and then
and the grass is kept cut of the bushes,
the quality of the fruit will not be I'M
paired.
The business men of the city gave
free luncheon to the farmers ON the
second day of the institute. IT was
given at the noon hour, and the treat
was enjoyed by a large company of
farmers and their good ladies. Mr.. j.
H Letson, of the Hetson house; Mr.. C.
s. Mitchell, Of the Post News and Mr..
c. E. Chidester We're active along with
others in preparing the luncheon. Hon.
w M Liggett, the director of the
School of Agriculture, was present on
Saturday and took a deep interest in
the work.
Prof Shaw made a strong appeal in
behalf of the same school. He explained
the nature of the work done, dwelt
a1ppn the fact that the tuition was free
and urged the young men of the farm
to look into the claims made in behalf
of it.

GOOD SHEPHERD WORK.
Archbishop Ireland Trenches i'm Its
Behalf at ST. Lnke,s.

Archbishop Ireland preached a ser
mon at ST. Lukess church yesterday.
He took for his subject the scope,
the spirit and the blessings of Chris
tan charity. He commended in q spe-
cial manner the work of the House of
the Good Shepherd, and urged all TO
patronize the bazar to be given for
their benefit dnring the present week.
The archbishop gave a short account
of the history of the Good Shepherd in
stitution since 1T was founded here in
1889, telling of the number who during
those years found refuge and reforma-
ton within it's walls. ''The House Of
the Good Shepherd, he said, lis not
exclusive in it's charitable work; It's
doors are thrown open to all classes
and all creeds. 1t exists for the good
of the people at large, for the city and
the state. The good wrought by the
House of Good Shepherd is marvellous
1t must be left to God himself to mea-
sure 1t; but SO much we know that
of those entering the House very
large percentage are converted to right
living, and a considerable proportion
even to holiness. Charity, whose OBJ
ject is to bring salvation to the soul
as we'll as help the body is specially
blessed. En- this consists the excellence
Of the miniStrations of the Sisters of
the Good Shepherd. These noble
women cOQSeCTdIe ln6lr nV0S TO The
care of those who have been lured to
sin by the world and then abandoned
by it, ALI may participate in this
glorious work and in it's more glorious
rewards by strengthening the hands
of those immediately engaged In it-''
Continuing, the archbishop dwelt
upon the true spirit of Christian char
iity. which means love for God express
ing itself in love for man. Charity,
he declared, is essentially a Christian
virtue The pagan world, if 1t knew
the word, did not realize it's meaning.
It is a giving of the heart rather than
of aims; 1t is a bestowal Of person
more than of property; it is a vital
function OF true religion. and can be
neither neglected nor delegated. Christ
has identified Himself with the poor
and the afflicted, 50 that service to
them is service to Him. So important
does He rate charity that He makes
the decree of the irreyocable Judgment
to depend upon the fulhilment or the
omission OF brofherly charity; "as Of
ten as you have done 1T to these the
least of my brethren. yeu have done 1t
to Me-"
The archbishop appealed to all to
show themselves true disciples of Him
who made charity the fulfilling Of the
law.
