American Pathological History.

country and the large meeting of the
American Pathological Society at
Grand Rapids and the equally large
meetings of the Mississippi Valley So
ciety, at Kansas City and New Or
leans were the opponents Of this
awakening. The New Orleans meet
ing held during the exposition was
attended by about 200 fruit growers
and men of allied interests, many of
them from the east and middle states.
The wide-awake secretary, w. IL. RAJ
gan had got up a program OF great
value with speakers from all parts OF
the country, and many thought that
the society was going to take the
place Of the older organiza ton which
had it's chief membership in few of
the older states. The name was
changed as before stated to the
American Horticultural Society, and
the next meeting set for Southern
California. All rivalry with the old
er society was deprecated and it was
decided to hold biennial sessions al
ternating with the American Pomo-
logical.
Whether the new western society
would have continued to exist as
large and influential body if it had
remained as first organized to cover
the fruit interests of the Mississippi
Basin is question Of little moment
at this date, but there is feeling
that such an organiza tion might be
of value now and perhaps maintain
vigorous existence.
Personally L believe that'the horticul-
tural associat tons outranking pres
ent state organizations will be Sec
tional rather than national. There
must be community Of interests die
tated either by market associations
or by climatic considera tions. A So
ciety extending from Los Angeles to
Florida would have similar themes
for discussion and could understand
ingly discuss problems which would
be Of no earthly value to northern
fruit growers. The basin of the Miss,
issippi while covering wide differ
ence in climate is so broad and has
such vast fruit interests that it should
support a society as large and as en-
thusiatic as the society which held
such rousing gathering at Kansas
City.
In recent conversation with Ex~
Chief of Pomology Henry E. VanDe-
man, he agreed with me that the
Mississippi Valley Society should new
er have changed it's name or attempt
ed national scope. With the vast
fruit interests Of Missouri, Kansas
and Southern Illinois as neucleus,
their intimate commercial rela tons
both North and South would have af-
forded a bond which would have at
tracted the horticulturists of both
sections, although there was a wide
diversity of climate. It is not too late
yet to organize a Southern Belt or
Semi-Tropic society and another
Mississippi Valley society.
At both Kansas City and New Or
leans I met doctor from central
Mississippi who was berry grower,
and had several interesting CONVEX

again and a clerk told me that they
had been sold at about the figures
asked. AT night when waiting for a
train | took postal card and wrote
ito my friend as per the address upon
the package, giving him the price
which the commission merchant
claimed to sell at. 1t was none OF my
business, of course, but l thought it
might help the cause of honest com
mission business.
Two weeks later 1 was surprised to
get a letter from the commission
man which contained six commercial
pages of the most virulent abuse, for
what he called meddling. The con-
signee had mailed my postal card to
him with the statement that he had
never met me and knew no reason fol
my writing. [ could only guess thai
the returns had not exactly tailed
with the prices sold, for the commits
sion man did not tell me why he was
so angry He stated in plain terms
that he owed me a thrashing anC
that L would get it if [ came around

a polite answer stating that L was
sorry to have put him to SO much

to know why he felt aggrieved at my

similar, both being doctor and living
in the same region, misled me.
The Pacific coast meeting of the
American Horticultural Society, was
attended by such men as could afford
to spend 5000, and the impracticabil
ity of maintaining a national organ
ization became apparent when men
from Ohio and Michigan discussed
cold weather problems beneath the
orange trees of Riverside.
Mr.. Earle changed his residence
from Illinois to the Gulf coast, the
genial and efficient Secretary Raglan
resigned, and the American Horticul-
tural Society fizzled, after brilliant
and successful existence of seven
years. The annual reports were pub
lished in fine book form, and make
a valuable addition to the other hor-
ticultural literature published in the
decade of the sos.
Since then I have attended and re,
ported three meetings of the Nation
al Pathological Society. The one a,
Boston followed that at Grand Rap
ids, and the discussions were largely
in the hands of young and pushing
nurserymen. My main recollections
of this meeting center around the in

Two WORLD Records Smashed at
Stockton, California.
Stockton, Cal, July 25.-Two worlds
records were smashed at a range of the
Stockton Rife and Pistol club by John
German Of the Columbia Rife and Pts
tol club of San Francisco.
The shooting was at a regulation
Columbia target, one-inch center. On
1t the score counts just opposite to
that on the Creedmore, the lowest be-
ing the best, as the bullseye counts one
and each ring away counts one more
eight being the highest and poorest
shot. German shot with a Russian
model revolver at so yards without
using a rest, and IN the six-shot test
his score was 2, !, !, 1, 4, 3. Total-12,
the record being above 16. The first
shot cut the line adjoining the bullseye
and the next three struck the one-inch
center. After beating the worlds rec
ord for six trials he fired ten shots at
the same distance, under the same con-
ditionS, and scored 39-another new
mark for that number of attempts.
The shooting Saturday on the targets
Of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle club
exceeds all previous records at mill
tary targets in California. In the COM
petition for the Glindemann medal on
the Columbia target, Creedmor count,
out of a possible 80, two scores of 40
were made, one of IS and seven of Il.
The two scores of AZ were made by
Ed HOVey and c. T. Waltham, but ac-
cording TO Creedmor rules the former
won. In addition to this, in COMPETE
ton for the diamond pistol medal, j.
Z. German reduced the state record,
formerly held by Charles Davis, from
80 to 80.

Tmnortance of II.

Berlin, July 25.-In order TO understand
the Importance of the division taken in
the house il must be remembered that
the lower house of the diet does not con-
tain a single socialist member, and there
fore the law of associations bill was re-
iected on its merits, by a body of men,
who, although radicals, are as patriotic
and loyal as the trainers of the measure
Concerning the attitude of the public
1t is sufficient to say that the crowd only
cheered the arrival of the members well
known as resOlute opponents OF the bill.
The speeches of the government members
were as spiritless as though delivered
over a bill already practically dead. DR..
Miguel regretfully abandoned ii to its fate
and occupied himself in sketching his
future policy, which, briefly, is a policy
of compromise between the great political
parties. The general comment is that
only a. Bismarck could have pushed such
a bill through, and the outlook is not
promising for Emperor Williams new
man.
DR.. Miguel said that the government
will not dare to dissolve the chamber for
fear that an appeal to the country will
still further reduce their majority.
