Put-in-Bay.
PUT-IN-BAY, O., July S.-Toledo
Whist club four made the high score
in the second preliminary contest for
the A. W. L. challenge trophy which
was finished at / o'clock this morning
The scores of the first four teams In

of, in the finals. The race is already
narrowed down to Albany, Boston and
Toledo. Today the contests for the
Hamilton Minneapolis and A. w. L.
trophies continue, the result of which
cannot yet even be predicted. The
weather is cool and delightful and the
congress a pronounced success. 1t will
close late Saturday night.
The result of tonights play for the A. w.
nounced. Albany was in the lead by one
trek over American, of Boston, and four
tricks over Toledo at the last report. Buffalo
is fourth. Tonights play may see the posi-
ton of the leaders shifted. Toledo leads in
the Minneapolis trophy contest for pairs and
looks like certain winner. 1t is five tricks
ahead of Dayton, II ahead of Toledo Yacht
ing association, u ahead of Dayton, II ahead
of Dartmouth, Of New Bedford; 10 ahead
of American. Of Boston. AS this contest
lasts but two more sittings, it looks as If

Philadelphia; Sault Ste. Marie Nashville,
Troy and Cleveland were out of the race.
The congress will close Saturday night
Weather cool and pleasant. Attendance large.

FOOD PRODUCTS IN WAR TIMES.

A member Of the British house of COM
mons discusses question which would have
immediate anu very serious interest for this
country If the European war that is always
to be regarded as a possibility should actu-
ally occur, says the Hartford Courant. 1t
mas already been proposed on the continent
that in case of war food be declared contra
band. The primary effect of this would be
to place Great Britain at tremendous dis
advantage if she were one of the parties
to the contest. That country now imports
food to the value of about $3.50, COO 900 a year.
Of wheat and -four alone it imports %, 900 900
quarters a year and produces only 5 900 900.
The stock on hand is never more than three
months supply, and sometimes no more than
one, so that, making food contraband, would
be quite likely to result in a bread famine
within a very short time.
OF the vast quantity of food imported the
United States furnishes about $500. 900 900
worth. If food shipped to Great Britain
were recognized by the contending powers
as contraband of war our trade would suffer
immensely. Insurance of cargoes might cas-
lily rise to a point which would stop ship
ments. OF the further effects it is unneces-
sary to- speculate at present but it is evil
dent that the proposition to declare food
products contraband has a vital interest for
us, as very large shippers OF such supplies.
Mr.. Seton Kerr, the author of the North
American article, suggests that in no event
would this country join in recognizing the
proposed addition to International law and
in this he is doubtless correct
For England the proposition is threat
ening that Seton Kerr has introduced in the
house of commons resolution, since adopted,
which declares the situation demands ''the
serious attention of her majesty's govern
meDt." Great Britain cannot consent to the
proposed change, nor can she prevent its
adoption by the continental powers If they
choose to take such action, which indeed
will give them possible advantages great
enough to account for the open support the
plan has received from some of them, notably
France. The gravity of the situation is fur

CHARLES w. CULLEN DEAD.
Brother of o. o. Cullen Is Dead in
Virginia.

Orlan o. Cullen, Of this city, yester-
day received news by wire of the death
of his brother Charles w. Cullen, who
lived at Warren Springs, in Virginia.
The deceased was forty-eight years of
age, and succumbed after quite hard

disease. He was one Of the three sons
of Maj w. J. Cullen, an old settler III
Minnesota, the others being o. O. Cui-

city, now living on the Pacific coast.
The dead man was born in Ohio, but
came to Minnesota when eight years
old. He attended school here and en-
gagged in business here, but in 1885 went

BEAUTIFYING THE CITY.
Some Suggestions to Amateurs as to
When 10 Plant Trees

"hen 10 Plant Trees.
To the Editor of the Globe.
IL may be as well to remind those wishing
to beautify and improve their property to
take advantage of the suggestions kindly
anu gratultGusly offered by the ladies' i'm
provement society on last Sunday towards
the Deautifying and improvement of the city,
Wnlch all present highly appreciated and
now beg to offer few of my suggestions to
th0Se wishing to take advantage Of the early
1all planting of all species of deciduous
trees Reason that>the tree is more at rest
after the summers growth and the rest
time is that in which most plants can be
easily removed; whereas, if painted in the
spring the roots lie torpid in the chilled
soil after the winters frost and soon die.
EVergreens should be planted in the spring
months OF May and June, so to form new
roots at once to sustain the evaporation of
the leaves. 1t may also be suggested and
carried out to- advantage to prune and trim
all oVef-grOWn branches on boulevard trees
which obstruct the street lamp lights in
many places from over-crOwded branches,
and which We have had such an experience
with from storms in the last few days, up
lifting and destroying many fine and orna-
badly trimmed and mutilated tree; let the
work be done at the proper time, and then
Judiciously done, and it is done forever. 1t
behoCves US to look ahead before the final
destruction of our ancient and noble trees,
the pride and beauty of the city.
In conclusion, | would strongly suggest that
all vacant lots ought to be somewhat cleaned
of dead wood and noxious weeds, enhancing
their value considerably. Unfortunately we
property owners cannot see far enough ahead
to appreciate this wise suggestion carried out
in other cities, and bringing buyers far and
near for partially improved lots which | am
wastes overrun with burdocks and other nox-
ious weeds which, if not finally destroyed,
will overrun the city at seed time.

The career of the late Rev. DR..
Houghton of New York abounded in
examples of the truest sort of Chris
tian love and charity. He was known
the world over as the rector of THE
Little Church Around the Corner" yet
his becoming so known was merely
the result of one incident of his kindly
ministration to all who came to him.
A good story is told as characteristic
of the man. One OF the foremost men
in his church was arrested for forgery.
DR.. Houghton fastened to his side and
received confession of guilt. He adj
vised him to plead guilty, and within
three days the man was in Sing Sing
prison. During these days the rector
was with him almost constantly. When
the man was released DR.. Houghton
was the first to show his belief in the
genuineness OF his repentance, and
through the good rectors steadfast
friendship the former convict was en-
abled to rehabilitate himself with his
church and in the esteem and conf
dence of the community.

signs that pride of descent, or mild

America. This sentiment is honora-
able and useful, when it helps to pre-
serve worthy memories and to nurture
fine family traditions; it becomes sill
ly affectation when it merely ministers
to the vanity which shines by light re-
