HOW A STORY GROWS.

A farmer once was told that his turnip
field had been robbed, and been committed
by poor, inoifensive man, of the name of
Palmer, who, many of the people OF the
village said, had taken away wagon load
of turnips
Farmer Brown, much exasperated by the
loss OF his turnips, determined to prosecute
poor Palmer with all the severity OF the
law. With this intention he went to
Molly Sanders, the washerwoman, who had
been spreading the report, to know the
whole truth; but Molly denied ever having
said anything about load of turnips. 1t
was but "A CARLOAD that Palmer had taken,
and Dame rIodson, the huckster, had told
her so over and over again.
The farmer hearing this, went to Dame
Hodson, who said that Molly Sanders was
always making things worse than they
were; that Palmer had taken wheelbarrow
full of turnips, and that she had her account
from Jenkins, the tailor.
Away Weut tle farmer TO jenkins, the
tailor, who stoutly denied the account
altogether, he had only told Dame Hodson
that Palmer had pulled several turnips, but
how many he could not tell, for that he did
not see himself, but was told it by Tom
Slack, the plowman.
Wondering where this would end, Far
mer Brown next questioned Tom Slack,
who in his turn, declared he had never
said word about seeing Palmer pull up
several turnips; he only pulled up turnip,
and that Barnes, the barber, was the person
who told him about it.
The farmer, almost out of patience at
this account, hurried off to Barnes, the
barber, who wondered much that people
should find pleasure in spreading idle tales
which had no truth in them. He assured
the farmer that all he had said about the
matter while he took off the beard Of Tom
Slack, was, that, for all he knew, Palmer
was as likely man to pull up a turnip as
any of his neighbors.

SHORT TOMATO SEASON.
The Canning Season in Maryland De-
layed Two Weeks.

The shortness OF the tomato crop in this
section of Maryland, has delay ed the open
ing of the canning season fully two weeks.
In Hartford county-where canning is a
leading industry-the factories have Just
begun operations.
The early drouth, followed by month
OF excessively wet weather, has tended
to cause the ripening OF the tomatoes
to be considerably retarded, and it is also
stated upon the best authority that the
fullness of the crop has been terribly
ditions of the weather.
In Hartford county, the success or failure,
as the case may he, of the canning interests
is unquestionably of the most vital import
ance to the prosperity and well being of u
large proportion of the population.
s. J. Seneca, who is can manufacturer,
canned goods broker, and also one OF the
pioneer packers of Hartford county, stated
that the general report was to the effect
that, as a result of the unusually dry
weather. followed by the other extreme.
the crop was very much shortened. In all
sections where the land was low this was
particularly the case, and the fruit had
been badly scaldcd. The indications were
that the yield would be much below the
normal, as consequence of the lateness of
the season it could hardly be expected to
be a long one, and, in addition to this fact,
the fields were reported to have but very
few young tomatoes on the vines.
Mr.. Seneca stated that these facts regard
ing the prospect Of the crop had been potent
factors in advancing the market; that
within the past month the price Of Hartford
county three pound standards had advanced
about Is cents per dozen, and that two and
half cents OF the advance had occurred
since Friday of last week. With the mar
ket thus stimulated and gradually on the
advance, those desiring the purchase OF
blocks of futures were finding it difficult
to find sellers at the present time.

THE TARIFF BILL.

After Wednesday More Time Will Be
 Given Each Day for Its Considera- ton.
 Washington, June 14,-The tariff bill was taken up by the senate at 12:10 o'clock, and unanimous consent was given that beginning on Wednesday next the daily session should begin at Il o'clock and continue till about 1 o'clock.
 MT. Allen, pop, of Nebraska, referred to the colloquy between him and other l senators last Saturday as to the right and duty of the government to take measures to dissolve the sugar trust. He declared that he had little or no courts to oust a state corporation en- gagged in interstate or international commerce. If MT. Havemeyer and his | associates went to New Jersey to pro- cure a charter as mere shield to inn proper proceedings, and not to conduct l business in that state, the act was | fraudulent and the charter void; and the federal courts had Jurisdiction over the question. It was admitted by all senators, he said, that no sugar sched- ule could be arranged from which the sugar trust would get pecuniary benefit. l Why then, he asked, was time spent upon the schedule, if there was any real desire to destroy a gigantic mo- nopoly that was eating out the sub stance of the people? Why not rather 1 employ the courts to dissolve the trust? ? So long as senators haggled over the schedule, the sugar trust would laugh at them, and would continue to fatten upon it's unlawful exactisms from the l people.
 l Diverging to the question of the Ha- waiian treaty, MT Allen said that the | time had come when that treaty ought to be revoked, and that the populist vote in the senate ought to be cast against it. Under that treaty Hawaiian | sugar, or sugar marked as such, could be sold in the United States for less than three cents pound, while beet sugar could not be produced and sold for less than four cents, so that the | beet sugar industry could not be de- lveloped if the Hawaiian treaty was per mitted to remain.
 MT. PettigreW, silverite, of South Dakota, addressed the senate in ad- vocacy of the amendment of which he
 had given notice, that all articles or
 the dutiable list the subject of trus
 should be admitted free.

 Paris, June 14.-The newspapers of this city to-day agree in saying that the alleged attempt to assassinate President Faure yesterday by the eX- plosion of a bomb near La Cascade res- taurant in the Bois de Boulogne. while he was on his way to Long champs to witness the race for the Grand Prix de Paris, was either a. prac- tical joke or the act of a madman, and that the so-called outrage was arrang- ed so as not to hurt anybody.
 The police made three arrests yester- day afternoon on suspicion of compile ity in the bomb-explosion, among them being two brothers, Galbert and Lau- win Gainier. They were closely ques- toned by M Athalin, the examining magistrate, but as they gave satisfac- tory accounts of themselves and their movements, they were released at about midnight last night. police derec- tive who was mistaken by the crowd 1 for the bomb- -thrower, was so roughly handled that he had to be removed to 1 a hospital.

 Charles Hoyt's "A Stranger in New York" the latest musical farce come dy, will be the offering at the Hyperion tomorrow evening. The author of such originally clever and humorous farces as "A Trip to Chinatown" "A Texas Steer" and "A Contented Wo- man." cannot have failed in his new play, "A Stranger in New York;" and it is safe to say that it Is inspired with allthe humor, wit and Hveliness that are so characteristic of his other successes. Demands for seats at the opening per formance have been pouring in ever since the engagement was announced. An exceptionally strong cast has been engaged to introduce this new play. Harry Conor, r,who made himself famous by amusing the public in "A Trip to Chinatown" and the bright, clever 1it- tie actress, Jeannette St. Henry, who has been heard far and wide in comic opera, will appear in leading roles.
 The music in the piece has been pre- pared especially by Richard Stahl, whose name alone as being connected with play is sufficient to make it a roaring success. The scenic effects are striking, and bound to please. The Japanese room and hallway in the tow CT of the Madison Square Garden is a special feature.
 | The advance sale of seats is now 1 open. When the sale opened yesterday the large demand pointed to a crowded 1 house tomorrow evening, as Hoyt's comedies are favorites with our thea | tre goers.

Enormous swarm of seven-Year Insect

Enormous swarm of Seven-Year Insects
 Devastating Eastern Long Island.
 Riverhead, N. Y, June 14.-The road leading from Batting Hollow to this place was made impossible this morn- ing by locusts of the seven-year varie-
 ty. At Centerville farmers bringing produce to town were obliged to turn off and take roundabout road. The
 sWarms which blocked the road this morning looked like a cloud, while the noise made by the wings of the insects was almost deafening. Millions of these insects could be seen in their
 work of devastation, deVouring trees and everything green that was in sight. The swarm covered a distance of two
 miles in length, and was making it's way eastward.
 Several farms have already suffered
 much loss by these pests, but the swarm is now on the border of the most valuable farming territory in the coun- ty, and the farmers are anXiously watching their crops and attempting to find something that will check the at- tack but as the insect flies nothing has yet been found that will destroy it, Nothing like this swarm of seven-year 1 locusts, which are so named because they make their appearance once in seven years, was ever known on east ern Long Island.
