Police Raid at No. 14 Myrtle Street
 Yesterday.
 The police of the Grand avenue pre- cinct believe that they have again trapped Hugh Christie, than whom per haps no other person has caused more trouble to them during the past two years. Times without number the po- lice have raided places where Christie or men In his employ were alleged to be selling liquor on Sunday and with out licenses and several times he has pleaded guilty and paid fines, but in the majority of instances he has es- capped, having so conducted his busi- ness that 1t was extremely difficult for the police to secure convieting evidence Yesterday afternoon Patrolmen En- right, Bright and B. J. Reilly visited No. 14 Myrtle street, house owned by Christie, and in the rear of which is a barn used by Christie. The place is oc- cupied by man named Louis Delude, who the police say is an agent for Chris tie. The policemen going to the rear of No. IA found Delude handing bottle of beer over the fence to a man on the other side. They promptly arrested Delude and took him to the station house, where he refused to answer any questions or say anything about the matter.
 The police suspected that a shed ad- joining the barn at the rear of Delude's house was used as a storage place for liquor and on searching Delude they found key which unlocked the shed. Entering they searched about and found a sub-cellar stocked with ice and beer. About 200 bottles of beer were found and taken to the police station. When Delude saw these, he threw up his hand and yelled, "It ain't mine; it's | Christie's." On the different bottles different bottlers.

The reclamation of the sand-dune territory of the Pacific coast at Golden Gate Park, near San Francisco, is car ried on as follows: The shifting sand is first seeded with sand grass (Arundo arenaria) and this is allowed to grow for two years; by this time the ground is sufficiently held in place to permit the planting of the Monterey pine and cypress, and these trees, in two or three years, complete the reclamation. The entire cost of reclamation does not ex- ceed fifty dollars per acre, and out of the 1,040 acres in the park five hundred acres are now planted with the pines.- Engineering News.

SPELLS" OF SOUTHERN NE.
 GROES.

There are numerous harmless spells which are regular observances in the lives of the average southern negroes. Besides the root-chewing, the track lifting, etc., they have love philter of frogs legs cooked In still water. and the ashes of a bat are powerful enough to keep away rival or an enemy. To make dog stay at home they cut off the tip of his tail and bury it under the doorstep. To make wife obedient they "daaw her pictur" and hide it in the shingles. Thus, waking or sleeping, there is a constant forcing or counter acting of destiny.-Phiadelp Times

on New England Crops.
Boston, July 5.-Crops of all KINDS
made rapid progress last week. corn
and potatoes are especially conspicuous
for marked growth. The former, now
er, is still backward in all sections,
and is small for the season. The ground
is now becoming dry, except in parts OF
Maine In Vermont and New Hamp-
shire the streams are low, and water Is
beginning to be needed for pastures.
In parts Of Connecticut a serious
drought prevails, and pastures are get
ting brown. The conditions in Rhode
island are much like those in Connecti-
cut.
Corn is promising, but backward
week or 10 days throughout the district.
Spring and winter grains are favorable,
except rust is causing serious damage In
Connecticut. In the vicinity of Clare
mont, N. H., some fields are yellow with
weeds. Oats are heading and rye Is
ripening in southern parts of the dis
trict.
The yield of grass, with few excep-
TONS is overwhelming, and there seems
little doubt that all will be secured In
fine condition.
Apples, with few exceptions, will be
good crop. The worm pest has abatcd
in many sections in Vermont, but the
crop Is about ruined. In the vicinity Ct
Claremont, N. H., caterpillars and can
ker worms continue their ravages on
fruit and shade trees. Other fruits aid
berries, as a rule, viii be plentiful.
