The Tarir BiII I'm IN, ssna,.

The formal reading of the tariff confer
ence report was concluded in the United
States Senate Wednesday. Senator Jones
OF Arkansas claimed that the conference
committee had exceeded its authority in
so amending the paragraph relating TO
printing paper as to place retaliatorv
duty against the countries paying an ex-
port bounty on wood pulp. His point of
order was overruled The reciprocity
amendment and the abandonment of the
stamp tax on bonds and stocks provoked
much criticism.
Shortly before the Senate adjourned
yesterday Senator Allison, in charge of the
tarit bill, made strong effort to have A
time fixed for the final vote on the tariff
conference report. Failing in this. Mr..
ALISON gave notice that the session To-
morrow would be protracted with view
10 securing vote. II was the first def
mite movement made thus far toward
bringing the debate to a close. Finding
that there was no disposition to reach aS
agreement, Mr.. Allison finally gave notice
that hereafter, while the report was mend
ing, the Senate would not adjourn at
o'clock without yea and nay vote, The
deoate on the report yesterday was mar
Iclpated in by Senators Chiffon of Texas
Jones OF Arkansas and Pettigrew of Sontb
Dakota in opposition, while Mr.. Aldricb
look frequent occasion to defend the re-
port against the criticism of these senators.

BEFORE THE JUSTICE.
VIM. johnson Bound over to the
County Court Under $500 Bonds---
Duudon Hrothprs Fined.

WIN. johnson Bound over to the
County Court Under $500 Bonds---
Dundon Brothers Fined.
These supplants were before the bar
of Justice Tuesday: VIM. johnson of
Esteyvie and Patrick and Michael Dun
don. johnson vas arrested on Wednes-
day of last week by Policeman Worden for
disturbing the peace by threatening to
shoot the children of Blacksmith Arthur
O'Leary. He was put under $500 bonds
to appear Tuesday morning for trial. He
was on hand promptly. Some 30 or more
witnesses had been summoned. States
A ttorney Robb appeared for the state and
II. G.. Barber for the defence. The states
attorney held that the severity Of the case
removed il from the jurisdiction of the
Justice court to decide and the hearing
was therefore to determine whether it was
returnabe TO the county court.
Mrs. O'Leary was first called. She tes-
titled that on Sunday, July IL, she sent
her children out to play and took a news
paper and sat down by the window TO read.
She was soon startled by hearing a voice
which she recognized as Johnson's, swear
ing at her children and threatening them.
The children ran into the house at the
threats of johnson.
Margaret O'Leary, nine years old, testi-
fed that with four other children she was
playing near her home on July II and
that johnson came out of his house and
said: g. you, If you don't stop your
noise I'll shoot you" She was a bright
witness and was not in the least ratified by
Mr.. BARRIERS questioning.
Dennis O'Leary, brother of Margaret,
| testified that when he was coming home
from church on July II he saw johnson
and heard him swearing at and threatening
TO shoot the group of children. On the
strength of this evidence Judge Newton
considered the case returnable TO the
county court and placed johnson under
S400 bonds to appear at the September
term and 500 bonds to keep the peace
johnson voluntarily took the stand and
told a story of persecution.
The scene then shifted and Patsy
Dundon emerged from his cell in the
cooler to give the reason, if any, why he
should not be fined for intoxication. II,
could think of none and Judge Newton
imposed fine of $40 and costs for second
offence, giving him the option of spending
a 30-days' vacation at Newfane. He wa:
forced to accept the latter and was es

Vegetation and Moisture.

Exhaustive experiments on vegeta-
ton of various sorts have shown that
the degree OF moisture required varies
considerably at different stages of the
growth and development of plants. 1t
is curious to note how nature provides
for this moisture at the proper sea
sons. More water is required when the
I leaves are coming out. This periofi
generally occurs when the ground is
very wet from the spring SHOWS and
rains. After the leaves are out less
moisture is needed until the hlossoming
season, then a or at deal is required.
The best Fl nit dev Ups when the ground
and atmosphere are comparatively dry.
Constant moisture is rot desirable. and
Il is thought to impair he keeping
qualities of fruit, especial \ if accom-
panied by q high degree of heat. A
very wet season favors quantity in fruit.
while a tolerabiy dry one gives much
finer quality 1t is well understood
fact that potatoes grown in very wet
seasons are much less desirable i'm

is fairly light and dry. During the

awonderful Needle

Among the many treasures owned by
Queen Victoria is wonderful needle
made for her in Buckinghamshire.
The needle is a miniature of the Ro-
man column of Trojan, but instead of
the exploits of the Roman emperors,
scenes out of the life of Englands
queen are depicted. One shows Victor
ia when a young girl at Tunbridge
Wells, another scene is the coronation
of Westminster. while third shows
the marriage of the queen and prince
consort. The figures in al of these
scenes can only be made out plainly
by the aid of msgnifying glass. The
needle can also be opened. and it con-
talns several others of the same form.
an all are adorned with miniature fig
ures in relief.
