GOLDBUGS.
They Will Have a Very Hard
Row TO Hoe in lllinois---rluch
Buster and Bluff.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-Secretary
Nelson of the Illinois Democratic
committee, has been gathering re-
ports from the 102 counties of the
state as to what action was being
taken therein towards forwarding
the delegations to the gold Demo
cratic state convention to be held
here August %. Today he had re-
ceived replies from more than half
the counties, the reports coming
from c;lair1nen or secretaries of
county committees. In summing up
these results, Mr.. Nelson said: Il
find that Illinois will not send gold
delegations to the rump convention
from more than twenty-five counties
and that in some of these there are
not enough gold Democrats to make
full delegations according to the cali.
l also find that all over the state for
every gold Democrat who will bolt
the Chicago ticket there are from
ten to twenty silver Republicans
who will desert Mckinley and vote
for Bryan. 1 don't see where the
rump convention is going to find del
egaaes enough to start up, business.
They will have to be found in Chi
cago and 1 suppose that is why the
convention was located here"

HEARD REPORTS.
Executive Committee of the National

Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 1S.-The
executive committee of the National
Pcpulist committee was called to meet
at noon today, but at that hour only
four of the nine members were at the
Shoreham, Senator Marion Butler of
North Carolina, chairman, having this
morning joined Messrs. Edgerton OF
Nebraska, Secretary Washburn OF
Massachusetts, and Reed of Georgia.
To a reporter for the United Asso-
ciated Presses, Senator Butler said:
Our meeting was largely informal
and no definite action was taken upon
any subject We did not care, for one
thing, to act in the absence of Mr.. j.
W. Breidenthal of Kansas, whose pres
ence at our meeting is expected. Near
" all of the session this morning was
spent in hearing reports from the MEM
bers, which were far more satisfactory
than 1 had reason to look for. Mr..
Dore. the California. member, has sent
a written report of the condition in his
state and on the Pacific coast generally
which shows that things ara all right
there. California is absolutely sure
for the silver candidates and, the same
is true of old states in the far west.
No action was taken upon the location
of headquarters. although it was dis
cuSSed. :"

SLAPPED HER FACE.
Jealous Woman Tackles Her Hus-
band With a Whip Only to BE
Knocked Down.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Ang. 1S.-
Mrs. Harry S. Henry caused a great
sensation early last evening by horse
whipping her husband in the presence
Of an immense crowd on Kentucky
avenue, near the beach. Henry is a
wooden goods manufacturer and is also
the owner of Penn Valley Stud farm, at
Morrisville, Pa, on which he has ex-
pended $780, 900, which included 100000
he paid for the stallion AnteD. For
some time past Mrs. Henry has been
jealous Of her husbands attentions to
a Philadelphia girl. Mrs. Henry yester-
day saw her husband, this girl, her
sister and and a well-known society
man of Philadelphia riding in a bus.
Mrs. Henry hailed another bus and
started in pursuit. The first bus
stopped at the Berkeley. By the time
Mrs. Henry had come up the two girls
had alighted and passed into the hotel.
The frantic woman grasped the bride
of the horse and held ON until her hus-
band got out of the buggy. A few
words passed between them and then
Mrs. Henry drew a whip which she had
concealed about her dress and dashed
it about her husbands head and
shoulders several times. Henry resented
the attack, by striking his wife in the
face and knocking her down. He was
immediately arrested and taken TO po-
lies headquarters. where he was given
a hearing, buG Mrs. Henry refused to
prosecute him.

BARCELONA RIOTS.
Authorities on the Alert to Prevent
a Repetftion.


BARCELONA, Aug 18.-EveT since
the recent rioting in this city, the
authorities have been on the alert 70
prevent a recurrence of the disorder.
A close watch has been kept ON certain
Republican, who, in connection with
other members of the party throughout
Spain, were believed TO have been
active in fomenting the late disturb
ances. AS a result of this surveillance
Seniors Marti and Ribot, both Republic
can members of the Cortes and fifteen
others, were today arrested. Ii ID
charged that they are implicated in a
conspiracy having for its object the Gre
alton of disorders in connection with
the coming embarkati2n of reinforce
ments for the army in Cuba.
It is believed that the Republicans
have made attempts to tamper with
the loyalty OF the troops, and sought
TO induce them TO mutiny rather than
to serve with the colors in Cuba
This plan is thought to have been eff
fectively frustrated, and no trouble is
apprehended when the men destined for
service in. Cuba, about 10000, are dis
patched to the island. The most inn
portant arrest that has been made is
that of General Estebanese, who was
minister OF war in the Republican gov
eminent which followed the abdication
of King Amedus in 1873.

plans for the campaign while here.
Last night he wired the president of
the league of Pennsylvania Demo-
cratic clubs that he would appear at
the convention of that organization on
August % instead of on the date pre-
vously announced.
An invitation from Toledo has also
been received and he will probably
speak there on his way home. Mr..
Bryan and a party today went to
Spring Lake, rear Upper Red Rock,
on a fishing excursion; but Mr.. Bryan
had no good fortune, he caught not a
fish, while Mrs. Bryan hooked two big
pickerel.

a Case Wherein Minister Terrell VIII
Doubtless Interfere.
NEW YORK, Aug. ia Herald
special from Washington says: The
department. of state has been informed
that Immediately upon learning of the
imprisonment of nine Americans in
Turkey, Minister Terrell dispatched a
note to the Turkish minister of foreign
affairs, demanding that they be turned
over to him for trial, if they were
charged with a criminal offence or that
they be freed and allowed to leave the
country if their only crime consisted
in being within the confines of tho
portes jurisdiction. The prisoners are
adj naGuralized, being ArmenianS by
birth and having returned to their
country, they claim, to visit relatives.
Six OF The men have passports signed
by the state department, two have pa
pers clearly showing their American
citizenship, and the ninth, although
claiming to be an American, is unable
apparently, to establish The fact to the
satisfaction of the minister and the
Turkish authorities. lit is the expecta-
ton of the minister that d reply will
be Immediately forthcoming, and as
there are many precedents for the de-
mand he has made, the authorities be-
lieve that the Turkish government will
comply. Minister Terrell has the right
to try all Americans arrested for crim1
committed in Turkey, extra territorial
Jurisdiction in that country being coded
to the United States.
Minister Terrell has only been in Tur-
key two weeks. He has looked into the
Knapp case and expects to set a date
for its trial as soon as he disposes of
the accumulated business now before
him.

UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y, Aug. Is.
On his return from a fishing trip to-
night, Hon. William ]. Bryan gave out
prepared answer to the allegations
made by Senator John NJ. Thurston.
that Mr.. Bryan was in the pay of the
mine owners.
He denied the allegations, without
qualification, and practically invited
the Republican national committee
man to make the charge officially, in
order that he might be given a chance
to show exactly what his income had
been and from what sourcesdt was de-
rived. Mr. Bryan's statement follows:
THE STATEMENT.
ST have already denounced this
charge on several occasions, but the re-
iteration of it by Senator Thurston. a
distinguished resident of my own state,
iustifies me in answering it again. I
have never, at any time or under any
circumstances, been in the employ of
any mine owners, individually or col
\ lectiyely, directly or indirectly, nor
have 1 ever been in the employ or been
maid by any bimetallic organization.
Aside from my editorial salary of about
$3.50 per month, paid by the World-Her-
aid, and a small amount derived from
the legal profession, my income since
my retirement from congress has been
derived from lectures before Chatau
ouas. lyceums and lecture bureaus,
which have usually paid me a fixed
sum, and from contributions made by
the people Of the localities where 1 have
spoken.
In some instances, I have received
nothing at all. In most places 1 have
received more than enough to cover
travelling expenses In only two in
stances, I think, has my compensation
y exceeded 500, and in these instances it
was about $500 at one place and about
$500 at the other.
THE FIRST PLATFORM
s.non which 1 ran for Congress in 1890
before 1 was known politically outside
of my state contained a free coinage
plank, and my Republican opponent
that year was an advocate of free coin
age In the campaign of 1892. 1 again
ran upon a free coinage platform, and
my opponent for the Senate, Mr.. Thurs
ton. while opposing unlimited coinage
ct ie TO l, insisted that he favored BIZ
1aetallisrn. 1 wrote the free coinage
plank upon which / ran in 1890, and the
free coinage planks in the Nebraska
state platforms in 1891, 1894, 1895. and
1895, aid tried to secure the adoption
of free coinage plnnks in the state plat
forms of 1892 and 1883.
u only mention this to show that my
advocacy of free silver is not of recent
date. Having made this answer to
Mr.. Thurstons letter shall hereafter
take no notice of individual or news
paper comments upon this subject If
ehe Republican national committee will
aay officially that believe 1 have
ever been employed to deliver speeches
by any mine owner or group OF mine
owners, or by any association sup
ported by mine owners, L am ready to
make a statement showing in detail ali
money received by me for speech-mak-

To the Editor of The Herald:


Since the accident yesterday, in
which a mere child was knocked down
on the sidewalk and badly injured by
q reckless wheelman, it would appear
to me that the time has come TO sup
press this sidewalk nuisance to pedes-
trians. Aged people as we'll as emil
dren are compelled to step aside for
this class of pleasure seekers. and are
hourly subject to the command of the
bell. If it be true that the bicycle
comes under the head of a. vehicle, then
it would seem that the street was the
place for it, and the sidewalk for the
pedestrian.

the street or the sidewalk.

HORTICULTURE
CULTIVATING THE GARDAN.

The main points to be gained by cul
tivation are: To prevent the evapora-
tion of moisture, to kill weeds, to set
plant food free, and allow free access
OF the air. To get the benefit of all
these we have only to keep the soil fine
and mellow by stirring it as soon after
every rain as can be without packing,
and once in a week or ten days any
how, in case of dry weather. 1t is now
a well known fact that there is no bet
ter mulch to prevent the escape of
moisture than a freshly stirred surface.
And with this regular stirring at short
intervals no weed can even start.
After a heavy rain, when the surface
dries we are apt to think it dry enough
to cultivate, when beneath it is per
haps too wet and clammy. 1t is ruin
Gus to take horse on any heavy soil
while in this condition. / have often
made this mistake and know the bad
results. When the soil is dry enough
to work free and light, there is no dan
ger in working the close planted crops
with the wheel hoe. While this is 60
ing on the part tended by horse power
will be getting in proper condition to
cultivate. Then if it be early in the
season, and plants on this part are still
small, we usually run along each side
OF the rows with the wheel hoe and
afterward plow out the middles with
the cultivator.
While it may be true that the cult
vation during the fore part of the sea,
son is the more important, we are too
apt to become careless as the season
advances. At least am. We ought
to try and remember that as long as
plant continues in vigorous growth
it requires plenty of moisture for full
development. The weather usually
becomes drier as the growing season
advances, aud cultivation should be
kept up that as much moisture may be
saved as is possible. N glect on this
point often makes the difference be
tween success and failure in the gar

AGRICULTURE.

No farm is complete without good
garden and numerous truck patches.
The cherry is one of the few fruit
trees which will flourish in almost any
kind Of soil.
Shallow and often is the rule for sum
mer cultivation. Kill the small weeds
and keep the surface loose; that is the
idea.
The tendency to smaller farms is
shown at the South, where the old
plantations are being divided into farms
Of from forty to two hundred acres.
But few farmers fully appreciate
what large amount Of conscientious,
impartial work is being performed for
their benefit by the heexperiment stations
Late cabbages should be set on good
strong soil and hoed frequently. A
small handful Of phosphate around
each plant will push them along rapid
ly. The wheel hoe is a handy tool in
the cabbage patch.
Some say book farming or science
IN agriculture will lead a man to ruin;
but does any farmer have too much
knowledge for his calling2 We should
use every effort to get all we can per,
tanning to methods of agriculture.

at this time is common red clover. 1t

think for himself.
