STORY OF HIS CAREER

BALTIMORE, Md. July 29-Robert Gar

Ohio railroad. died at his cottage in Deer
Park, Md, soon after 3 o'clock this morn
ing. Although Mr.. Garrett has been
hopeless mental invalid for many years, It
was not thought that his physical infirmi-
ties We're such as to cause any immediate
uneasiness upon the part of his friends.
About two weeks ago, however, he began
to fail. and 1t was thought best to remove
him from "Uplands.'' his country home
near Baltimore, to Deer Park, in the hope
that the change of air and scenery would
benefit him. The improvement was not as
as great as his physicians hoped for and
within the past week the patient suffered
much from mental depression and melan-
cholia- Monday his physical condition
showed a marked charge for the worse
and yesterday his condition became critical
HIS devoted wife was with him when the
end came, which was peaceful and appar-
emily painless. The immediate cause of
death is understood to be chronic neph-
rltiS- with which he has suffered for many
years The arrangements for the funeral
are not yet complete, but it is thought that

Judge Otter Talks of Its Extent in the
Buckeye State.
Everybody Is Talking Finance-Th<
Vote of the Different Parties
Analysed.

Judge r. NJ. Otter Of Hnlsboro', Ohio,
who is gold democrat and quite active in
politics, talked today with Star reporter
on the situation in Ohio.
II never saw such situation in politics
before" he said Many waves Of senti-
ment have swept over Ohio; but 1 have
never seen anything like the present. In
the country districts the silver sentiment is
intense. Every men you see is loaded with
arguments, and there is no use trying to
talk with him.
THE silver men have been reading every
thing they could get hold Of on their side
Of the question, until they can outtalk
Harvey. They are as glib as possible with
arguments which regard false, but
which they are satisfied with. and they will
dance all over any man who says gold.
1t has become a sort of religion with them
and they will not listen to nor tolerate op-
position. You can't make any impression
on them any more than you can argue a
man out Of his religious faith. The thing
has spread so that l regard the result in
the state as doubtful, and perhaps with the
Probability favorable to Bryan.
The Vote of the State.
"At all events, it Is by means certain
that Mckinley can carry the state. The
normal republican majority is about q. 900
That is the safe natural republican major
ity. There are about 5000 populist votes
and 10000 prohibition votes. Bryan will
probably get $1,000 popuist votes and 49,
coo prohibition. That is. he will get the
silver vote Of these two parties.
In the cities there will be considerable
gold democratic vote for Mckinley: In the
country districts there will he a large sill
yer republican vote for Bryan: These may
pretty nearly offset each other, though It
looks as If Bryan would get more republi-
can votes in the country th2n he will lose
democrats in the cities.
There is hardly anything but silver
talked throughout the state. The men
around the thrasning machines at lunch
time, the groups around the country stores
and about the village hotels, republicans
and democrats head to head, are talking
about the money question. Men who never
before could talk together on politics with
cut punching each others heads are hand
IN hand or ar. talking the matter over
from different standpointS in a Sympa thetic
spirit. Ii any one says gold there will at
once be half a dozen men to jump on him.
1t makes little difference how much falla "
there is in their arguments these country
folks think they have mastered the ques-
of the man who tries to show them that
they are wrong.

Greece to the Island of Crete for the use

The Turkish government also announced
that 1T had decided to grant limited conces-
sions to the Cretans. and that they will be
allowed representation.
The powers, 1t is stated, have decided to
send collective note to Greece declaring
that the government of the latter country
must suppress the matters complained of by
the Turkish government, adding that other
wise the Sultan of Turkey will be left to
restore order in Crete.
1t is rumored here that the Turkish gov

banians against the Greek filibusters, a step
which will undoubtedly add considerable to
the gravity of the situation.

sisted somewhat to fill the deficiency.
Just after the fruit has been gathered is
the time to commence tipping" your
plants. Cultivate the soil very finely
and dig little holes two to three inches
deep, and bend the tip ends of the canes
into them perpendicularly, not slant
ingly, and cover with dirt to hold them
i'll place. (See Fig. 2.) By following
this method attentively it is possible
to make above hundred plants from a
vigorous plant in a season.
The red raspberry and blackberry
are propagated from the roots sprout-
ing up. 1t is quite an item to the farmer
and fruit grower to understand propa-
cation; they may just have only one
plant of rare variety and increase it
to many the same season, thus getting
a start very cheaply, even if they do
pay big price for the first ones. C.

AS this idea threatens to become a

give laces, muslins and all the dainty

How to Wear Your Handkerchief.

There is always a right and wrong

do everything else. Just now the only
proper way is to tuck the little square

conceal the hand, somewhat after the
manner of the pretty wrist founces on

lace, no more effectual method could
be devised than this newest fashion
