Hoskns, a preacher of the Free-thinker
faith, who has been holding forth on the
streets of the city for thirty nights, was
tried in the Police Court to-day and fined
His arrest was caused by the vicious terms
with which he characterized Christ, de-
pretender. The preaching created general
indignation and many complaints were
made Hoskins was warned to deSist but
refusing TO do so he, was arrested. Only a
nominal fine was assessed, as Hoskins

Victory for II. Liberals.

TOLEDO, o., May 2.-The long legal
controversy among the members of the
Church of United Brethren in Christ was
settled to-day by Judge Taft, who filed a
memorandum for a decree in the United
States District Court. The trouble arose
over a certain election of church officers,
on which two factions divided. The lib
eral'' element won and the other faction
went to law to GUST the liberals and gain
possession of the church property. In his
memorandum Judge Taft says the real
question in the case is (which party is the
church," He finds that sufficient notice
of election was given, and. as all similar
cases have been decided in favor of the
parties comparing to the respondents in
this case and who are generally known as
the liberals" he holds that they legally
are the church. and therefore, lawfully in
possession of the property, discharging the
obligations of their trust.

A DUTCH INVENTION.
Signals by Which Ships May Speak to
Persons Ashore.

An Amsterdam correspondent writes to
us: ''It looks as if we dull Dutchmen
are upon the point Of giving to the world
a priceless inventiOn-the means by
which ships at sea may be on speaking
terms under all circumstances or have the
power to communicate with the shore.
Some weeks since. people living on the
outs klrtS of the town, returning home
IN the dark hour of the evening, were
scared by the very peculiar unearthly
sounds, something akin to the deep, pen
etrating scream of steamers siren in
the mist, although there was no possibili-
ty of Il steamer. The riddle is now
solved. 1t has been found possible to
produce constant, unvarying sound,
which may:
''First-Be heard at a distance of at
least five miles against a stiff breeze.
Seconds of such nature and quail
lty that 1t IS quite easy to determine to
nicely the direction from which it
comes.
''Third-Is produced by an instrument
which can be moved about without alter
ing the sound-that is, in the same man
ner as an electric searchlight.
Fourth-Last, but not least, that parts
OF the instrument may be differently
tuned, which makes it possible to give
constant alternative signals which may
be coditied, SO that a conversation may
be kept up.
1T appears that the inventors some
weeks ago made trials in the dark. and,
of course, in lonely, outlying places in the
neighborhood, and so produced the ghost
ly noises aforesaid. Competent persons
are of opinion that the thing really is q
great success. The Zealand company has
resolved to give the invention a fair trial,
and the world may soon hear more of it,
1t is quite clear that if the steamer which
met the Drummond Castle had possessed
such an instrument, and its signals could
have been understood by the Drummond's
officers the disaster might not have oc>

Winchester Repeating Arms Co., New

ammunition apace with new guns. In
this way by using Winchester goods,

the unapproachable reputation of the
Winchester guns depends upon the am
munition used in them, the Winchesters

pulse of Natures Desires.
The time for flowers is almost here
The roses are shooting out, and wherever
this is the case they ought to be trimmed
It is a little too early yet to turn up the
dirt in the gardens. but those who in
tend to engage in the cultivation of flow
ers-a most delightful recreatiOn-can be-
gin their preparations by planting certain
varieties of seeds in small boxes or bas-
kets, filled with dirt, to be subsequently
transpIanted to the gardens. Some vari-
cites are wonderfully improved by trans
planting. The taste for gardening has
grown rapidly of late years in Baltimore,
and it is the exception now to find a
house without some effort at raising flow
erS.
People have discovered that it is such
an easy thing to do. Very little space
is required. A made plot of ground. 3
feet square, or even less, will grow
number of pretty flowers; or, if SO small
a space cannot be had, any old box or
basket can be utilized. t1lied with dirt
and planted with the right sort of seed,
it will will soon be transformed into Il
thing of beauty, if not joy forever.
The old baskets in which grapes and 9th
err fruits were sent home during last
summer will answer as we'll as anything
else; and if there is no sun or not suth-
cient sun in the backyard, they can be
exposed III the WINDOWS or on the OOOF-
steps.
The front door has become fayorite
spot for the exposure of pretty flowers.
1t gives bright appearance to the house
and a pleasant impression of the in
mates. People sometimes affect not to
care for flowers. but in their inmost souls
they do They can't help liking them.
Music may strike dangling or diseased
nerve, and on that account be distaste
full; but flowers appeal directly to the
purest, gentlest and most beautiful of
natures instincts. To say one does not
like a certain flower means that it is not
liked as much as another flower. They
are all delightful, but some are more de-
lightful than others.
The labor Of cultivation is triGing; rare
ly enough to supply person with the
exercise necessary to health. After the
initial work of turning up the soil, the
ground must be kept clean-that is, free
from weeds and if the rain does not
water them sufficiently. they should be
watered artifcially. When the latter is
done. the flowers should be beautifully
sprinkled. Everybody should have a
flower bed.-Baltimore American.
