For the restoration Of an appetite which
has been impaired or lost through sickness,
no remedy can compare in effectiveness with
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
This statement is substantiated by the expe-
rience and declarations of men and women
with whom these pills have become house
hold medicine. Among the many who can
offer testimony to this particular property Of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills is George Marshall,
Jr., who lives at No. 10 Norwich Street,
Cleveland, Ohio. Mr.. Marshall is O news
agent on the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroad, and his territory extends
from Cleveland to Toledo. Like thousands
of Others who owe their health and vigor to
Dr. Williams Pink Pills, Mr.. Marshall
never hestates to sing their praises. In his
case it was necessary to use only few boxes
of the pills to restore him to the full possess
sion Of bodily health. His digestive organs
had become almost useless through long
and serious illness, but in a surprisingly
brief period, through the agency Of this
wonderful medicine, they were capable OF
again performing their functions in regu-
lar and perfectly satisfactory manner. In
narrating his experience with them Mr.. Mar
shall said:
"Last spring ! was taken sick with inflam'
matory rheumatism, and my entire system
was affected To relieve the suffering II

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

New land is best adapted to the
growth of berries,
Fruit trees or plants will not take
care of themselves.
Annual pruning largely avoids the
necessity for removing large limbs.
Grapes thrive best in well-cultiyated
and well-drained land.
No fruit repays judicious pruning and
trimming better than the pear.
Make quality rather than quantity
the principal aim.
Having the orchard trimmed up keeps
the trees bearing well.
Cherry trees must be grated early
If good results are expected.
Choose young, thrifty trees, with
good roots and straight, clean tops.
ALI trees that have roots or tops
bruised or mangled should be dis
carded.
In setting out tree, save some Of
the top soil, especially to put around the
roots.
1t is not a bad plan to plant trees
along the roadside the whole length Of
the farm.
BY stirring the soil after every rain
the weeds will be more easily de-
stroyed.
The peach and plum are nearly
enough related to be budded or grated
on each other.
In the spring is the best time to prune
the peach. Cut back one-half of the new
growth of wood.
Mulching prevents the early flow OF
sap by preventing the ground from
warming up too soon.
Nectarines and apricots can be
grown anywhere that the peach or
prune will thrive well.
Either red clover alone or clover and
orchard grass is best to be used in seed
ing down the orchard.

forms the top Of the funnel. When I
wish to use the strainer place piece
of muslin is inches square over the top

down inside the top Of the funnel. A

thus obtained. The bottom Of the fun

is placed in the top Of the can and taken
to the barn, and as soon as a COW is

O'ROUKE AND THE "BARKEEP."
Pool Balls and Salt and Pepper Figured in a
Lively Melee.

About 1890 o'clock last night there
was quite a lively scrap at the BELL
Top" saloon in Second avenue.
3. The participants were Thomas Brady,
the "barkeep," and Dennis O'Rouke.
1T seems that ORouke had been out
with ''the boys" and was feeling quite
lively. He went in tbs BELL Top" and
walked back to the negro counter where
"Barkeep" Brady was pres,d ding with
his usual grace and dignity.
O'Rourke knocked over some mustard
SALT Pepper and other things which go
to make up the necessaries of the bar
counter, whereupon the "barkeep" re-
quested him to desist and go home. Mr..
ORourk= replied with curses.
Brady then forcibly carried O'Rourke
TO the front Of the bar and was about to
put him out when the captive said: 81
am In the wrong, let me co. which the
"barkeep" graciously did.
No sooner was ne released than he
ran back to the pool table and COM
menced hurting pool balls at the barr
tender Brady closed in upon him and
they were making things lively when
officer Scott appeared and arrested both
men. They were released on bond, and
the trial is set for today.

New Orleans, Oct. 20.-All previous

on the books of the board. At the same
time six deaths had been recorded.
These had all occurred during the early
morning hours. The weather today has
not been unlike that of the entire week.
1t has been cool and sultry during the
nights and early morning, especially cal
culated to produce fatalities. OF the
deaths today two or three were the re-
suits Of poor treatment.
The most important death of the day
was that of Ira T. Britton. Mr.. Britton

the age. Before the late war Korea wa
q suzerlan of China. Now her king
throws off that suzeranity. BY pro-
claiming himself an emperor, he breaks
not only with China, but also with ia
pam A conflict of interests has arisen
which he may turn to advantage If he is
adroit The transcontinsntal railway Of
the Russians seeks an outlet on the Ko-
rean coast. Korea with the railroad and
the telegraph will be a new Korea-not
the hIsrmit nation of old.
THE Koreans have the Monaghan char
acteristfcs, but they are people of a
vigorous, muscular type. They resemble
the Japanese more than the Chinese.
They write in Chinese characters, but
their vocabulary Is their own. Thsir
country Is about as large as England
Wales, and Scotland, and the population
about one-third that of Great Britain.
Prior to the Japanese war, Korea wss a.
vassal of China, but the development of
Russian interests has prevented her FIR mi
becoming a vassa1 to Japan. The peo-
pie have always borne the reputation of
being peaceful and civil to strangers
They have bean primitive in their style
of living, with no furniture in their
houses but "a mat, pillow, and screen.
Their national vice has been drunken
ness. The trouble in trading with th:m
has been that they had nothing to sell,
while their wants were SO simple that
there was nothing which traders could
offer that they cared to buy. 1t may
be different under the new regime. From
the seventh to the thirteenth century OF
The Christian era, Korea had a commerce
that reached Arabia and Persia.
The Japanese harassed her coasts as
the Norsemen in the eighth century,
harassed those cf England and France.
1t was a Japanese invasion in times long
past that disorganized Korean in1us-
tries ard destroyed the vestiges of Ko-
rean art. Strange 1T would be, but not
impossible, If the Japanese invasion In
the nineteenth century, checked as 1t was
by Russia, should awaken the hermit
nation to new life. The last forty-sdx
years have wrought great changes I'M
Japan. The next forty-six years may
work wonders in Korea. An interesting
act in the drama of the nations may be
now about to begin.

MAIL WILL co To ATLANTA
Montgomery Mail Distributed
Here Yesterday.
GOVERNOR ACTED PROMPTLY
And.was Notified Orders Had Been Issued For
1t to Be Fumigated Hereafter-A
Car Load of Refugees.

There was no trouble experienced by
quarantine officers with Montgomerians
trying to enter Birmingham yesterday.
The trouble was all over the mails
Superintendent Terrell, of the United
States mail service, who is stationed at
Atlanta, has interpreted the regulations
governing the mail service, which says
that no person other than a mail clerk
can enter postal car, while en- route,
to apply to quarantine officers, and has
instructed his clerks not to admit them
into the cars.
Governor Johnston yesterday received
a letter from Montgomery, and it was
found that other mail was distributed
which Lad not been disinfected.
The governor at once sent for Chief
Deputy Quarantine officer Virgins and
authorized him to issue the following
orGer to his men:
Birmingham, Ala, O,,- on. isa;.
To All a'uara ntine officers of AiaJama.
Whom nail agents refuse 70 ALLOW stale
quarantine officers to examine mail Fl IN
infected districts the officer will cut the
mail car from the train and moi allow
the mail car to enter the state of Ala
bama. S. WIGGINS,
Chief Deputy Quarantine Officer.
Governor Johnston at once telegraphad
to Postmaster-General Gary at Wash
ington and Superintendent of Railway
Mail Service Terrell at Atlanta, and in
the afternoon received replies from
them saying that all mail from Mont
gomery had been ordered sent to At
lanta, where it will be thoroughly disin-
fected and forwarded. There will be
no further trouble.
Further efforts were made yesterday
through Governor Johnston to secure
iting persons from any infected place
going to any other place in the state,
but the governor adhered to his former
decision He is considering the estab-
lishment of a camp of detention near
Montgomery, so that people who have
not means to go out of the state can
remain there ten days and then be at
liberty to go anywhere. If the city of
Montgomery will share the expense this
will probably be done. ttt8.a. ~,
The refugee trains yesterday carried
a number of people through Birming-
ham. The noon train was heavily load
ed, great number of children being
among the passengers. They waved
handkerchiefs and clapped their hands
as they sped through the Union station
at a rate of 20 miles an hour.
The local officers have been with
drawn, and the state officers, under
Chief Deputy Virgins, are in charge of
the quarantine.
