The fact that Montpelier
will be out of debt with the
close Of the present fiscal
year May 1st, Is such an in
novation that our citizens can
hardly believe it. No city
tax will be necessary unless
it be to provide against the
tramp nuisance. Then it will
not be more than two mills.
This amount the citizens will
pay gladly, to be rid Of the
hobo element that has made
life a burden in summers gone

THE el.LE COPYRIGHT.

1t II Vested I'm the Crown In Eng
land.
The copyright in the Holy Scriptures
is vested in the crown, and in England
there are only three authorized print
CTS, says Chambers Journal. Oxford
and Cambridge have, by royal charter,
the right of printing the Bible and the
queens printers are licensed to print
the sacred bool.s during her majesty's
pleasure, n license which may at any
time lie withdrawn by an order-in-coun-
oil. IN Scotland anybody is at liberty
TO print Bibles, but no edition may be
lawfully published unless it has been
read and licensed for publication.
All this, however, refers only to the
"authorizcd' version of the Scriptures.
The cXrcrsos attending the recent re-
vision OF the sacred books were very
heavy-sometEing like e 80 ,OCO, and the
queens printers, who were invited to
contT:butS q share, preferred not to do
so. Ting two great universities alone,
therefore, have proprietary rights in the
revised edition of the Bible, and all
editions of it cmanate from Oxford and
Cambridge presses. 1t is q remarkable
fact that, although the revised Scrip
lures have row been before the public
for Is years, the old or authorized YER
sion is Still The one in general use. The
revised EibIc was produced at i'm
mense cost and by the highest scholar
ship Of the day and no competent judge
is likely to dispute that it is a more ac-
curate and, upon the whole, better
translation than the authorized edition.
Yet the Oxford press still annually
prints at least five times us many of the
old version as of the new, and Cambridge
does practically the same.

The cost of state dinner at the white

The st. Louis Republic.
State dinners, as a rule, are uninter-

ness. The scene, however, is one of
beauty and sumptuousness in effect.
The walls of the large dining room are
banked with tropical flowers and
plants.
The table is gorgeous with gold and
silver plate.
The center of the table, which accom-
Riodates 3S persons, is adorned by 4
large mirror, representing miniature

flowers.
The mirror has golden frame, and
was purchased by Dolly Madison.
At either end of the board are golden

OF the "DeadIy Orange Fungus"
Scare Is Provided
THE EFFECT OF FUMTGATION
Is the Conclusion of q Growers Expe.
rlence
Professor Pierce Hard at Work Investigating
the Maiady-SannIes Forwarded The
Herald Are Internally Sound

W. B. Crisp, a citrus fruit grower of
Sierra Madre yesterday furnished the
Herald with some valuable information
which may shed considerable light on
the deadly orange fungus and prove
to be a solution of the trouble.
Mr. Crisp's experience with malady
of apparently identical symptoms dates
from two years ago. He lost heavily on
a consignment of lemons shipped to San
Francisco, the fruit having developed
reddish patches similar to those at pres
ent complained of at Azusa and one or
two other points of the citrus belt.
Mr. Crisp has two orchards in lemons,
and shipment from the second shortly
afterwards showed no traces of any
such trouble. After a careful investi-
cation Mr.. Crisp concluded that the in
jury to the fruit in the first shipment was
the effect of fumigation. The orchard
from which the first shipment was taken
had been fumigated; the second orchard
had not been fumigated, and the lemons
were perfectly sound.
The result of Mr.. Crisp's experience is
that he believes the present trouble is
not a blight" nor fungus, nor a para
site, but simply the effect of fumiga ton.
Several samples of the fruit complain
ed of reached the Herald office from
Azusa yesterday. From an examina-
ton of them 1t seems evident that the
trouble is simply external, the epider-
mis- of the lemons is certainly discolored,
but the fruit is perfectly sound.

For Music In the Parks

Subscription papers are in circulation
for the purpose of obtaining funds to
provide music at the public parks for the
next three months Engel, proprietor
of the Elite orchestra, proposes to fur
nish varied program of classical and
popular music, to be given in the public
parks each day, for twelve weeks. at a
minimum cost of $175 per week, If that
amount can be secured by private SUBJ
scription. His plan is to give a concert
one day in each week in Westlake, Hol-
lenbeck, East Side, Echo and ST. James
parks, and to give two concerts per week
In Central park, which, being near the
business center of the city, is more ac-
cessible to the public than are the other
parks. 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. En-
gels enterprise will be given the sup
port it certainly deserves.

AFFORD HELD FOR TRIAL
The Preliminary Examination of Clever
Young F0rger
Philadelphia Bank Official Journeys to This
City to Assist In the Prose.
cution

A. L. Afford, the clever forger who
claims to be son of General Afford of
Texas, was the center Of attraction in
Justice Rossiter's court room yesterday
afternoon. The dapper youth was hav-
ing his preliminary examination on a
charge of forgery, and an official of thA
Tradesmen's bank of Philadelphia had
been sent all the way from the eastern
city to assist in the prosecution of the
young culprit.
Afford, as was exclusively published
in the Herald at the time, was arrested
at the Nadeau by Detectives Hawley
and Auble several weeks ago. He had
recently arrived in this city from the
north, where, to all accounts, he swim
died numerous people, and on the
strength of being the son of his illus
trious father he persuaded Wesley
Clark, of the firm of Clark & Bryan
to introduce him at the First National
bank. Then he deposited a draft for
$1,000, drawn on the Philadelphia bank
A few hours later he attempted to draw
out it's equivalent in cash. The pro-
cedure aroused suspicion in the minds
of the bank officials, and they wired
east, only to find that Affords draft was
bogus. The police were notified, and af-
ter he had been arrested search of his
effects disclosed large number of blank
drafts, many of them perforated. All of
them purported to be the drafts of the
Tradesmen's bank of Philadelphia AL
ford was held for trial on a
charge of obtaining money by
false pretenses, as it was i'm
possible to convice him of forgery unless
an official of the bank was here to testify
However, the bank sent C. C. Gala
CHER the assistant cashier, to prosecute
Afford, and a forgery complaint was filed
against him. When his examinatio
came up yesterday Mr.. Clark and L. H.
Mayberry, an official of the First Ma
tional bank, testified as to what they
knew concerning Affords transaction
Mr.. Gallagher swore that the form of
draft presented by Afford was not the
form used by his bank, and offered in
evidence six genuine drafts bearing the
signature of the banks cashier.
After hearing the evidence Justice
Rossiter promptly held Afford to the
superior court in bonds of $4,000.
