FARM Notes.


It is important to get the Spring
crops seeded in good season. AS a
general rule it is better to be lit
tie early than little late. Gener-
ally the early-sown grass, cloverseed
and oats, and the early-planted corn
makes the best growth and yield.
There is no advantage, however, in
trying to work the ground while it
is wet. In order to have the best
termination Of the seed and Wig
orous start to grow, it is essential to
have the soil in a good filth, and
this cannot be had if the soil is wet
when it is worked.
Get everything in readiness, SO
that at the proper time the work
can be pushed along rapidly. Ma
nure can be hauled out and scatter
ed where it is wanted This is a
task that can often be done when
nothing else can. The field can be
cleaned up and made ready for the
pillow. The seed can be secured
ready for use wien needed The
tools and implements can be put in
good repair.
Clover and grass seed for meadow
or pasture are usually the first seed
sown. 1t is quite an item to SOW
them early, SO that they can be we'll
started to growing before hot, dry
weather sets in. Use plenty of seed,
and have it evenly distributed.
Generally, oat sowing is the next
work to be done after grass seeding.
If the oats are to be sown on corn
stubble. one of the best plans is to
sow on the ground and then work
the seed into the soil with good
cultivator, fining and leveling the
soil with smoothing harrow. If
sown on fallow land, a more rapid
way is to SOW on the ground, work
in with disk harrow and then fine
the surface with a smoothing har-
row. With two teams and three
men the work of seeding can in this
way be pushed along rapidly.
While a deep stirring of the soil
is not necessary for oats, yet if the
best termination and growth are
secured, it is essential to have the
soil in a good filth. Oats will stand
considerable frost and make a good
yield. Be ready to take the first
good opportunity for sowing them.
BY the time oats are sown the
early garden should be made, the
early potatoes planted and what
ever trees are to be set out should
be set.
After these follows corn planting.
While early planting is always ad-
visable it is of no advantage to
plant until the soil is sufficiently
dry and warmed up to insure quick
termination, and a vigorous start
to grow. But it is an item to get
everything ready SO that when the
soil is right the planting can be
pushed along rapidly.
This month is a good time to
make ready for the Spring planting.

Romancc in Real Life.

FOWLER, Ind, May S.-Judge Mar
bro, of Kentucky, was standing on the
railroad platform at this place yesterday
when the Chicago Limited pulled in.
In the parlor car sat lady whom he
thought he knew. He approached her
and they recognized one another i'm
mediately. 1t was his wife, whom be
married twenty years ago in England.
She was the daughter of Lord Linds-
ley. Her father was so opposed to the
marriage that he induced her to leave
Marbro about six months after they
were married. She relented and de-
sired to return to her husband, but was
made to believe that he was dead.
Marbro incensed at his wife's action,
came to America. He was shortly after
informed that she had secured di-
vorce. About six months after their
separation a son was born to Mrs.
Marbro. AT the death of Lord Linds-
ley Mrs. Marbro fell heir to 100000
in estates and money. She has since
married and has three children by the
second union. She was en- route to
visit sister in San Francisco. Judge
Marbro is very wealthy. He is also
married. He accompanied his wife of
former years to Chicago.
A later dispatch contradicts the above.

THE METHODISTS.

By vote of 425 to IS the Methodist
General Conference at Cleveland, Ohio,
Yesterday decided that the four women
delegates might retain their seats. This
does not mean that the women have
won a complete victory. The decision
was reached simply as the result of a
compromise, and with the understand.
ing that it should not prejudice the
GAINS of women in the future or estab.
lish a precedent for future conferences
to follow. But by the same vote by
which the women were given seats, the
conference also decided to submit to
the annual conferences a proposed
amendment to the constitution, pro-
yiding that hereafter all General Con.
ference delegates shall be over evenly
FIVE years of age. and that they shall
have been members Of the Methodist
Church for at least five years prior to
their election. 1t also provides that no
conference shall be debarred from at
lesst one minister and one lay delegate.
This constitutional amendment is to
be submitted to the annual conferences
and must receive q three-quarters vote
to be adopted. The amendment is con.
strued to mean that women as we'll as
men will be eligible as lay delegates,
the word '4ayman" not being used.
The members of the committee on eli
gibility who signed the compromise re-
port were evidently of the opinion that
the question could be settled by the
General confereppce, as it was the only
one which involved the proper inter-
probation of the constitution. However,
it was deemed better to let the annuai
conferences decide the matter-hence
the proposed change in the constitution
was submitted. The delegates were
evidently pleased when the question
was finally disposed OF.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Michigan republican convention
yesterday instructed for Mckinley and
adopted the currency plank of the
Minneapolis platform as o substitute
for two resolutions, one denouncing
and the other favoring the free coinage
of silver.
The Indiana republican convention
at Indianapolis instructed the dele
gates to St. Louis for VIM. Mckinley.
Elk. President Harrison did not appear
in the convention as expected. The
resolutions as stated yesterday favor
sound money. The State ticket is
headed by James A. Mount, wealthy
farmer, for Governor.
The Tennessee democrats yester.
day adopted a platform strongly for
free silver, but which does not mention
the administration. Ex-Gov. Robert
L. Taylor was nominated for governor
by reclamation.
The democrats of New Jersey yester-
day elected delegates at large to Chi.
cago, headed by Senator Smith, and
declared for the soundest of sound
moneg, but expressed no preference as

yesterday Major McKinley's nomina-
ton is regarded as certainty.

CONGRESSIONAL.

By the decisive vote of 81 to 6, the
Senate yesterday inaugurated an in
vestigation, to be conducted by the
Senate committee on finance, into
the facts and circumstances connected
with the sale of United States
bonds by the Secretary of the Treasury
during the last three years. The six
adverse votes were cast by Senators
Cafrey, Faulkner, Gray, Hill, Mitchell
and Palmer, democrats. The debate
had been animated, and, at times, sen.
sational, throughout the early hours OF
the day. Mr.. Palmer's opposition to
the resolution and his reference to
''snap conventions brought on heat
ed colloquy with Mr.. Vest and MIR.
Cockrell. The former arraigned the
President and the administration for in
huencing public opinion and political
conventions against silver, and speci-
fed conventions in Michigan and Ne
braska. Mr.. Vest added the declara
ton that he was delegate TO the Chi
cago convention, but that if it was con-
trolled by officeholders and the will of
the people stiaed, it would not be dem-
ocratic convention to him. Mr.. Hill
closed the debate, and the vote was
taken. The rest of the day was given
to the river and harbor bill, consider
able progress being made.
The net result of three-and-a.h half
hours session of the House was the
passage of bill to amend the act Gre
ating the Court of Appeals so as to al
low appeals from the Supreme Courts
of the territories to the Court of APP
peals. Mr.. Picker, of South Dakota,
attempted to secure his revenge for the
defeat he suffered when the House re-
fused to remain in session to pass pri-
vate pension bills by blocking lesisla,
ton. He made the point ofno quorum
at every opportunity, and finally, the
House, losing patience, adjourned. MIR.
Pickler threatened to keep up his tac-
tics until he accomplishes his object,
which. he says, is to secure further con-
sideration for private pension bills.

Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1896-05-08

In THE U. S. Senate yesterday Mr..
Vest called attention to the fact that q
U. S. officer was removed during Mr..
Cleveland's first administration for
making one democratic speech in his
own town, and that, too, after office
hours, and drew the difference between
that removal and the permission now
given to members of the Cabinet to
leave their departments for weeks at a
time to make political speeches, and to
other government officers, to take charge
of and conduct State democratic conven-
tions, as they recently did in Michigan.
But circumstances alter cases, and
though the operation of the civil SER
vice law is more general now than it
was then, the execution thereof is by
no means so rigorous. If the Chicago
convention should declare for the re-
teal of the civil service law humbug, as
well as for free silver, the chance of the
