first time for forty years that he has
stopped fishing in April, having "cut

MR.. TAYLOR ASSAULTED.

Mr.. Archibald H. Taylor, a lawyer,
will to-day 60 before the grand jury
and lay charges of assault and battery
against Mr.. Benjamin R. Sheriff, mana
ger for the publishers of the Baltimore
city directory. The basis of this charge
is an assault which occurred yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Taylor gives the fol-
lowing account:
II started into shoe store on Balti-
more street, near St. Paul street, to get
my shoes shined. On the corner was
crowd of men, and as / passed I heard
one of them cry "Halt" I did not
know the Cry was meant for me and I
entered the store. When I had one
shoe half shined Mr.. Sheriff entered the
place.
"'I said halt he calculated; did you
hear me?'
II replied that I did not know him
and that did not think he knew me,
and, therefore, did not stop when 1
heard the call. With that, while was
sitting down, he struck me with his
cane, hitting me over the head. Then
he hit me in the left eye
with his fist, blacking my eye.
1 had fallen from the platform
and was practically on the ground
when his fist hit me. I had begun, in
the meantime, to WELD my cane with
good effect, and then the crowd that
was with him rushed into the store.
One of the men, much larger man
than l am, pinloned me, but Mr.. Sher-
iff was gotten out of the place before he
did any further damage. Mr.. Henry
Homburg, clerk in the store, was a
witness to the assault.
"About four years ago." continued
Mr.. Taylor, II tried a case in which
Mr.. Sheriff was on the other side, and
I had occasion to cross-examine him
severely. suppose the assault grew
out of that case.
"The police did not turn up Until all
the trouble was over, and no arrests
were made. 1 had Mr.. Sheriff7s cane,
which / had wrested from him, and
wanted to keep as evidence, but it was
taken away from me by the crowd
which entered the store after l had
begun to belsbor him with my stick"
Mr.. Sheriff last night at his home, Is
north Calhoun street, acknowledged
having committed the assault.
81 can not tell what led up to il"
said he, "as I had been drinking freely.
My friends say that Mr.. Taylor struck
me first and I know 1 retaliated. l am
only sorry 1 did not break his skull
when I struck him. We have been
enemies for several years, since he
tried case in which I was on the op.
posite side and when he attacked me
severely and without warrant. I have
nothing more to say about it."-Bdlti-

p p0d to-day that foreign books at the

confer nee to-day and will decide later
an what course they will pursue.
4 dispatch from this city to Rich
mopd SAYS The decision, it is believ-
al nuts an end to ali pool-selling in
Virginia, and gives the death blow to
the gambling opposite Washington, on
ibe Potomac. 1t was stated here to-day
tbst the race track men at Alexander
Island and st. Asaph were making
nreparations TO move their plants to q
point near Harpers Ferry, w. Va"
The Richmond Dispatch says: The
Court Of Appeals has declared the Maui
pin anti.race track gambling laws con-
:litutiOnal,
Tie decision handed down yesterday
in the Lacey habeas.corpus case only
bears directly upon the act prohibiting
the sale in Virginia of pools on races in
other States, but the court takes occa-
sion TO say that both this and the COM
paniOn oct prohibiting in broad terms
all forms Of gambling on races and other
sports are in full force and effect.
The opinion, which was prepared by
President Keith, is one of the most in.
!ere.ting delivered in the Court of Ap.
peals for q long time. 1t holds that
Lacey is entitled to his release from
custody on the ground that the justice
Of the peace, having, under recent act,
exclusive original jurisdiction in mis-
demeanor cases, should have tried La.
cey instead of sending him on to the
County Court; and declares that while
the title OF the anti-foreign-pooi-selling
oct is not as far reaching as the act it.
SELF the latter is effective and not re.
pugnsnt TO either the Constitution of
Virginia or that of the United States.
While the court says that pool-selling
is the only form of bet or wager that is
made punishable under the act, its def
milton of this offence is sufficiently
broad to cover practically all forms of
race track betting.

1t is a waste of time to talk
about these Waists, and we
wouldn't have a word to say if
you would know of their pres
ence here without.
We can't tell half the story.
The Waists are better than
words and more convincing.
You will agree with us when
you see them.
If you want the sweetest
Waists in town see these. A
distinction and a difference.
Our Shirt Waists are distinctly
different from Shirt Waists as
you commonly meet them; a
triAe finer, a little neater, a
slight difference in the form,
sleeves hang a little better,
collar fits a little better. All
of these differences are in our
favor. Each a trihe in itself,
makes a big difference in the
waists, however.
You will admit it when you
purchase one of ours at ACC,
FAC, SOC or csc. We have al
so a nice line of all kinds of
Silk in waist patterns from $50
per yard upwards.
Don't forget about the

A Fowl With Brsken Leg.

To set broken thighs in fowls, says the
Poultry Journal, take strip of old
cloth, about II or Is inches long (ac
cording to size of fowD and one inch
wide, and narrow strip to tie around
this. Have some one to hold the fowl
firmly, with the leg in the right position
(be sure to get it right before beginning
with the plaster, as it hardens rapidly.
Take teacup half full OF plaster of
paris, and enough water to make it like
thick cream dip about two inches of the
strip in the plaster and wrap firmly, but
not too tight, around the leg, going
above and below the fracture, applying
the plaster all along, and cover the last
winding of bandage; also the END. Tie
the narrow strip around this and hold in
same position until the plaster is thor
oughly hard; then put the fowl gently
in a quiet coop, so it will not be dis
turbed, and it will heal in five Or six
weeks. If the fowl gets the plaster off,
renew it at once. Feed sparinely for a
few days to prevent fever.

High Boosts

High roosts are an abominaiion, says
a poultry exchange. The large, heavy
hens can only reach the high roosts with
difficulty, and they are liable to be dis
lodged f1om TT cir position, thrown eff
and injured by the fall. Make the roos's

ailments are often due to high rOosts,
and it is due TO seeking high perches
that young turkeys are usually affected
with swollen feet and legs.
1t is really doubtful if roOsts are at all
necessary in the poultry house, as those
who have tried the plan of providing
litter for the hens and cleaning it away
daily, report the hens keep in much bet
ter condition, being lees liable to drafts
of air and are seldom lame. 1t is an
experiment worthy of trial, as the re-

and cross fenced SO he may turn his
stock from one patch to another. He
will work just hard enough to keep his
place in good shape, and may put In one
day each week hunting or fishing, TAX

He will live decently ana contentedly

Two Kinds of Farmers to Come.


These are the days when the Florida
farmer looks around him and Is satisfied
with the result of his inspection, says
the Tampa Times. His crops are in
good shape, his shipments are bringing
him good money, his hens are laying,
his COWS are finding good range and Civ
ing plenty of milk, and if he has at
tended to his business with fair degree
of skill he is money ahead since this
date last year. Reasons of this kind
show why men who farm in the inhospi-
table regions of the North should come
into this balmy climate, where they can
accomplish so much more with the same
amount of toll.
There are two kinds of farmers who
should come to Florida-The man who
wants to live easily. No man can do
both. The principal complaints we
hear about Florida come from men who
want to live easily and get rich at the
same time.
The Farmer can get -ch in Florida.
and that surely, but it will tax his Ell
ergy, skill and JUDGMENT. He must
hive good land, he must make it better
with fertilizer, and he must crowd
every square foot for ali it is worth. 1t
is just as sensible for a railroad to haul
cars empty when they might be loaded
as for farmer to carry his land empty.
Still speaking of the farmer who wants
to get rich-he must get up early and
work hard and push his hired help and
keep only the best hands. He must
read the papers and be able to forecast
in a measure the direction which the
demand for produce will take. In fact,
he must be an intelligent, Industrious
and we'll qualified business man. In
proportion as he is these he will succeed
In piling up wealth.
The farmer who simply wants to live
easily and happily will secure him
place in neighborhood that suits him,
convenient to postoffice, church and
school, He will plant small grove,
and put in an assortment Of other fruits.
He will keep in milk one cow more than
he needs, he will pen his few hogs and
pasture them on chufas, he will raise
twice as much garden as he needs and
sell the surplus. He will keep large
flock Of hens and small fiocks of other
domestic fowls. He will use chiefly, or
perhaps entirely, homemade fertilizers.
He will have his small farm diversified

and strongly marked in form, color and
general characteristics of the breed
represented by their sire. Mate this
second crop Of pullets to an unrelated
sire, and the resulting generation will
be equal to thoroughbred stock OF that
breed for all practical purposes in lay
ing and marketing qualities.
