The Experiment Station at Burling-
ton is about to publish Bulletin AZ on
"Potato Bllghts and Fungicides, and
81 on "Analy ses of Commercial Fer
tilizers."
Bulletin 40 discusses the distinctions
between the various potato blights,
particularly the different forms OF
potato diseases which of late years
have been grouped under the general
name of "early blight" These disor-
ders are fully described and illustra-
ted by figures of the leaves, and
preventive measures discussed. The
relative value of various notifications
of Bordeaux mixturer is also shown.
Bulletin 81 contains the analyses,
guarantees and Station valuations OF
fiftv brands of commercial fertilizers
sold.in the State this year. There is
reason to believe that fully nine tenths
of the trade of the State is confined to
the brands contained in this bulletin,
which buyers may find helpful as
ready means of comparing the relative
agricultural and commercial value OF
goods offered for sale.
These, as we'll as any other bulletins
of the station, will be sent without
charge to any address on application

The Need of Permanent Arbitration.

The immediate duty before the con-
servative forces of England and Amer
lea is to organize for the establishment
of high class continuous board OF in
ternational arbitration. In this matter
the lead may well be taken by the rep
resentatives of that religion which is
"first pure, then peaceable. With the
aid of the great educational institutions
and of the vast commercial interests of
the two lands, and in the present re
vived attention to the subject, it ought
to be an easy matter to get parliamept's
assent to the opinion already formally
expressed by the congress of the United
States in favor of the principle of arbi-
tration. What is needed is permanent
system in place of the piecemeal and
haphazard examples to which we are
accustomed, admirable as their results
have already proved.
Once established between England and
America, such system would gradually
spread among the nations of Europe, the
more rapidly because of the general con-
viction that another continental war
would show a climax of horrors. Sooner
or later arbitration would be followed
by disarmament, which is the logical
sequence of no other premise, and yet
will be the turning point of the CONT
| nent toward true democracy and prog
ress. However near or far the ultimate
acceptance of the idea, it would, as be-
tween us and our English cousins, take
the sting out of the viper Of war, to
which, like the husbandman in the fable,
nations too oarelessly give the warmth
and nourishment of the hearthstone. In
the knowledge that disputes would be
automatically settled by an impartial
tribunal, it would no longer be possible
to play boisterous tune upon people
by pulling out the stop of patriotism. !"
| And it is not too much to hope that in
the spread of this idea the whole earth
would at last realize the great laureate S
noble vision of
| The parliament of man, the federation of the
world.
Herein lies great opportunity for the
English speaking race to lead mankind
to TIE glorious destiny of peace. 1t is a
mission to kindle the imagination and
the heart. -Century.

6OO.0 100000 Pounds

or coffee were imported into the United
States the year ending July l, 1895. This
is the largest item of the Importation OF
all kinds of merchandise. about IL per cent.
of the total amount. 1t is IL per cent larg-
er than that of the previous year. Nearly
every family uses coffee, and few OF them
know the different qualities when they see
them therefore people in their ignorance
try anything called coffee. There are,
however, certain trade marks which guar
Woods "Acme," ''Dutchess," or any of the
other fine brands, one would never think
of using a common article few cents less
in price. In putting up these extra line
cOffees, much depends upon the expert
who makes the selection and who can
readily discriminate between the different
qualities. These choice grades are better
value and more gratifying in their use.
When we consider the social advantages
to be derived from a fine cup of coffee, or
tea. and that the finest quality gives the
greatest pleasure, it is wisdom to buy the
best.
While the importation of tea is not so
large as that of coffee, it holds social posi-
ton not to be underestimate. The Unl-
ted States imports about S0,000,000 pounds
per annum, an amount which increases at
the rate of per cent each year. he
varieties of tea imported are not so numer-
GUS as the qualities Much depends upon
the condition under which the crop is
raised and cured-the thine of picking, age
of leaf, the care and cultivation-indeed
more conditions than enter into the produc-
ton of most crops. Tea at % cents per
pound may appear as valuable to the
ordinary consumer as any other grade but
to the expert be nearly worthless. In fact
the different qualities of fine teas are now
so accurately determined by the expert
who selects them, that the Trade Mark
is almost entirely relied upon for quality.

YOU use ?'' She doubtless replies. " " GODS

FIRST PATRIOT KILLED.
Diary of the Daughter of John Hicks Dis
covered In Minneapolis.

There lives today in this city grand
son of John Hicks, the first man killed
in the war of the Revolution, and one OF
the first minute men awakened form his
sleep by the warning giSen by Paul Re-
we're on the night of the latter's famous
yide. This grandson of John Hicks,
George Pierce Hicks, lives with his SON
in-law, Holman r. Drew, at Glrard ana
Summit avenues, and is now in his
eighty eighth year, though still erect
and in full possession of all his facul-
ties. A reporter called on Mr.. Hicks and
found him very pleasant, white haired
old gentleman, who was pleased to give
the reporter all the information he
could. He produced a voluminous diary,
kept by his mother, and which contained
much information of value concerning
the times Immediately succeeding the
great war. At one point in the diary the
connection of Mr.. Hicks grandfather,
John Hicks, with the incident OF Paul
Revere's ride is related. The Hicks or
Revolutionary times was one OF the first
minute men to be awakened by that IA
nous messenger. With the others he
sprang into his clothes, took up his gun
and ran to guard the bridge at Licking
ton. He was the first man killed and ls
none other than the person immortalized
by Longfellow in his poem, paul Re
vere's Ride" thus:
And one was safe and asleep in his bed
Who at the bridge would be first to fall,
Who that day would be lying dead
Pierced by British muSket ball.
Zacariah Hicks was son of that John
Hicks and an uncle to the present George
Hicks. At the time Of the breaking out
of the Revolution he was just Is years
old. He, too, took up arms with the
revolutionists and did valiant service
for his country. He also foug ht at the
famous battle of Lexington, where his
father died. He was afterward promoted
to the position of marshal and entered
Boston with General Washington, when
the great leader was escorted into that
city in 1889.
An interesting historical note is made
to the effect that Revere was copper
founder, and in the scrapbook, supple
mentary to the diary. is reproduction
of newspaper cut made by Revere, rep
resenting the massacre Of the patriots in
Boston by the British soldiers in ITO.
1t is very creditable piece of work,
surprisingly SO went the incipient con-
dition of the art of making newspaper
cuts at that time is taken into consider

CYCLING CLUB RECEIVER.
j. Nj. Marker Takes Charge of the

Judge McMaster yesterday appointed
James NJ Marker receiver for the Capital
City Cycling Club. The appointment was
made on the application of Charles F. Kis-
sci, the principal stockholder of the club.
The complaint sets forth that the club is
indebted to divers persons in sums amount
ing in the aggregate to about $1,000. over
5000 of which is due Kissel. It was set out
that the club is insolvent and not able to
meet its matured paper. 1t was further
shown that unless the court should appoint
a receiver to take charge of the affairs of
the club. there would be numerous suits
fled, and the assets of the club would
be wasted by sales upon execution, and 1t
was to protect the assets for ali creditors
that the receiver was asked. 1t was also
recited that the club was preparing to
give series of race meetings at the track
near the fair ground during the week COM
mencing Sept. IA, and that any Interior
ence with the business of the club would
prevent this programme being carried out
and would result in great loss to the club
Judge McMaster heard the presentation
of the case of the plaintiff, and the de-
PENDANT falling to appear, granted the ap-
plication and appointed the receiver.

Der of votes in the State at the last preced-

According TO all legal precedents in
case of division of a party or other like
organization, that body which adheres to
the articles of faith of the party, or or
ganization, is held to be the true party
or organization, and entitled to wear its
name, possess its property and enforce its
rights. The National Democratic conven-

X. Fatout and Ansel Fatout, the County
Commissioners, the county treasurer and
Otto H. Hasselman. The complaint sets
forth that NJ. K. Fatout & Son were in
debted to plaintiff in the sum of 81, 500; that
Darnell was indebted to Fatout & Son in a
like amount for the construction of the
election booths, andwthat the County Com
missioners were indebted to Darneil for the
purchase money for the election booths. 1t

assigned to the plaintiff their claim against
Darnell, and that Darnell had agreed that
the County Commissioners should satisfy
the assigned claim so far as his indebted
ness to Fatout & Son would do So that
500 of the 81 800 thus paid, and that
then Otto Hasselman brought suit against
Darnell, the County Commissioners and
county treasurer to recover on old judg-
ment against Darnell. The plaintiff in this
suit AYERS that the Commissioners are in
doubt to which claim has the priority,
and asks the court to straighten out the
difficulty.
