SOME Kentucky papers have printed
considerable nauseating gush lately
about Liberati, who furnished music
for the October trots in Lexington.
Liberati's musical ability is only equaled
by his vanity. Speaking of Liberati, it
is strange that he was given the $4,000
engagement in preference to Saxton's
orchestra, when the latter knows better
than anyone how to please Kentuckians.
1t is doubtful if one hundred persons
paid admission solely to hear the music.
The music was good, but Saxton could
have easily augmented his band for the
occasion and pleased the most critical.
Old Kentucky should be given chance.

The Cubans have the best of it all

DAMAGED By FROST.
Great Destruction of Truck and Fruit in
Virginia Tide. Water Section and Eastern
North Carolina Some Truckers Save
Crops by Burning Pine Straw in the
Fields.

Richmond, Va. April 21.-In the pc
ninsula section there was heavy frost
last night, and some damage to early
fruit and vegetables. No fear is indi-
Gated for the fruit in the Danville sec
ton, and there will be only slight in
jury in the Prince William and Lou
doun tier of counties. Norfolk reports
heavy damage TO truck in the counties
OF the Virginia seaboard. and eastern
North Carolina and the fruit around
Charlottesville suffers, it is thought, Sc
riously. Small fruit in the Staunton
district is said to be killed but the ap-
pie crop is regarded as safe. The
southwest seems to have suffered very
little.
Raleigh, N c., April photographic
advices received here tonight from
Greensboro in the west and the New
Bern trucking country in the east say
that the frost this morning was heavy
and that fruit in both sections was
much injured, but as to truck, only
small truckers under the lee-way Of
thickets had crops cut off by frost. The
larger farmers burned pine straw to
the .windward of the truck and it was,
practically, in every case, thus saved
from injury.
Norfolk, Va, April 21.-It is estimated
that the heavy frost this morning de-
troyed fruit and vegetables in lower
tidewater Virginia and eastern Carolina
to the value of probably $1,000, 000
Every class of truck was greatly dam
aged. Potatoes were set back twenty
days, and beans, peas and strawberries
cut down to the earth. In several in
stances the farmers will replant Fruit
suffered greatly, but young tobacco is
said to have generally been saved by
artificial means. Ice formed in various
places and there is so much frost in the
ground that truckers say the damage
will be very much greater unless a
warm rain falls soon. 1t is clear and
cold tonight and the frost tomorrow
will probably be heavier than that this
morning.
Newport News, Va, April PA
heavy frost fell throughout this section
last night and farmers this morning
reported serious damage to crops. In
some places in Elizabeth CITY county
ice formed on pools. Owing to a brisk
breeze which prevailed nearly all night
and the dry condition of the atmOs-
phere, but slight damage was done to
the fruit trees, although in localities
remote from the water they are said
to have been frost bitten. The greatest
injury was done to the pea crop, many
acres Of which were in bloom. The
strawberry crop was also slightly in
, iured
