 A casual stroll through the clubrooms yesterday was enough to convince the most careless observer that the view from almost every nook and corner of the apartments, which occupy two floors, is the finest club outlook in the United States. Every window presents a different aspect of the many kaleido- scopic scenes on the streets as well as along the bay and over the distant hills

1'nat tho retiring officials Of the HAN, n

at Edgcmoor, is now an assured fact. For
some reason best known to the promoters
they refuse to say anything about the V, !.
turo, but it is stated on good authori y
thatin few days application will be ma, o
before Judge Spruanco for q charter for
the proposed Company. A deal for u o

p.ny owns the property and there is some
obi tction against sale The company,
however, is anxious to consolidate Its
works with ship building plant. As the
company has every facility for making
machinery, 'hep@oposcd company could
consolidate aud thereby save the expendi-

Manufacturing Manure.

A New Jersey correspondent Of The
New England Homestead says:
started with the poorest field on the
farm as q manure factory. Some people
seem to think that stable manure must
be made in a stable in the old time way
Of feeding expensive timothy hay and
oats to horse and bedding him with
rye straw. In my travels in Delaware I
have seen the cowpea and crimson clover
manufacturing manure faster than q
whole regiment of horses I took four
acre field, too poor to grow healthy
weeds, and worked ID thoroughly with
the cutaway harrow. Then broadcasted
1000 pounds of basic Stag and 500
pounds of kainit and sewed ~ bushels
Of early black cowpeas. The result was
al immense growth Of vine, which was
cut Aug. 10. A second growth at once
started from the roots, and this grew
steadily until frost In the meantime I
scattered crimson clover seed over the
field, and this finally started and will
grow during the winter. The cowpea
vines may be fed to stock by those who
care 10 do SO, or they may be used d.
rectly as manure, Or used in mulching
Strawberries. I can rent cheap land and
grow this crop at very light expense for
very much less than we can obtain sta
bic manure. On poor land it is by all
odds the greatest manurial plant we can
grow.

elm forcing asparagus, says writer
in American Gardening, 1T is essential
to have very strong roots. They should
not be less than years old; + or
6 would be better. The space under
the benches of a cool forcing house is q
good place to grow them. Place three
Or four inches Of good soil under the
benches. The clumps are then placed as
close together as possible, and some
good soil is filled between them. The
crowns are covered with three or four
inches of soil, Of which about half Is
leaf mold. 1t holds the moisture better
than common soil. Tho heat should be
kept rather low for a few days; aftor
that the temperature may rise from 80
to 55 degrees. For succession new
roots should be planted every three or
four weeks
Roots should be dug up, care being
taken not to break the clumps, and re-
tanning all the soil possible around the
clumps. They may be piled in some
ehed SO as TO DO had as wanted. Cover
with some soil or litter so as to keep
them from drying out. They will not
hurt to freeze-indeed, 1t adds to their
value for forcing"

Piedmont Pulp MillCaSe.

Frederick, Md. jap 2e.-In The case Of
the Piedmont Pulp and Paper Mil Com
pany, Of Luke. Allegany county, Hon.
Milton G. Urner, of counsel for the com.
pany, has flled additional affidavits in
their motion for an arrest of Judgment
and new trial, argument on which will
be heard by the full bench here on Satur-
day morning at 10 o'clock.
The new reasons assigned consist of the
affldavits Of three Jurors-John l.. Moo.
demus, Charles Ridgeley and Edward
Kenna. These jurors state In the aft
davlt that the foreman, Capt. Walter
Saunders, laid before the jury while in
consultation 10 the Jury room copies of
the Frederick Daily News containing re.
ports Of the trial and that they did not
agree upon their verdict until they found
In one Of the papers statement that tho
court had ruled that even IL the greater
part Of the pollution were shown to como
from other sources and only small part
of 1t from the pulp mill, the defendant
would be guilty. Sheriff Patterson also
makes affidavit that the foreman told him
the newspaper had brought about an
agreement among the jurors and that no
verdict would have been rendered had it
not been for the newspaper.

CONCERNING ROUND BARNS.
These Circular Structures Are Becoming

These Circular Structures Are Becoming
Common In Dairy Districts.
Round barns are becoming quite COM
mon in some parts Of the country. There
seems to be an economy Of space in q
circular structure, and the fact that II
10 possible to have silo in the center,
away from the effect Of the changes Of
temperature, Is great advantage, par.
ticularly in dairy districts, where the
greater number Of these round barns are
found. The Orange Judd Farmer re.
gently illustrated round barn owned
by farmer Of Waupaoa, Wis. Follow
ing is the description given in the jour
nal referred to: The frame Of the outer
wall of the first story is made Of Q by
IL inch studding three feet apart. Above
the second floor these studdings are only
by 6 inches. The whole is covered
with eight inch drop siding. On the
first floor is row of double stalls facing
nine foot alley. The Wtters back Of
the stalls are 20 incLss wide and 5
inches deep on the south side of the
barn, reaching depth of seven inches
by the time they get round to the north
end, SO as to furnish drainage. A liquid
manure cistern is situated just outside
Of the barn.
The main entrance to the first floor is
on the south side, where wide open
space extends clear through to the sllo
A shoot extends from the silo down
through the floor to the stalls below,
through which the feed is thrown. On
the second floor there is room for hay,
farm machinery, grain, horse stalls etc.
scaffolding just above the second story
adds greatly to the hay capacity of the
barn. A commodious milkroom is To-
Gated in the northeast corner, where
the separator stands. Milk is run
through the separator simply to clean
and aerate it. after which it is bottled
for market
The silo walls are made Of studding
by IL inches and covered on the in
side with three thicknesses Of half inch
boards, with layer Of building paper
between the courses. The outside is
covered with sheathing, merely to create
air spaces between the studding, which
insure perfect ventilation. After being
filled the contents Of the silo are merely
wet down on top with 40 Or 30 pals of
water every other day until five or six
applications have been made. The total
cost of this barn and milkhouse was
about SO, 0O0

GOODS WERE PROMISED,
That is What the Wilmington TRACT
Stamp Company Told Book Holder
4 This forming.

The trading stamp people seem to be
having troubles of their own. IL will be
known there is a measure before the Leg
stature doing away with the business
This morning man nnmed Boder, tno
holder OF a completely filled stamp book,
pre- ;ente1 the book aJ the office OF the Will
mington Trading Stamp Company and
TX I'd for lamp which was in the window
He was told by the manager that 1T was
gone Mr. Boder then asked for other artl.
cles and was told they vera gone or had
been promised to some one else he was
offered his choice of pictures and other
things which were useless to him.
He Immediately consulted William T..
Smalley. the attorney who drew the anti
trading stamp bill at the instance OF IN
organization Of the merchants of the city
Mr.. Smalley went with Mr.. Boiler again
to the stamp store to see II some satisfact-
DRY arrangement could BIO made with the
manager. Mr.. Smalley offered to give the
manager ten days or two weeks to furnish
Mr.. Boder ono Of the several articles which
were on exhibition at the store. Th3
manager refused to promise anything,
however, but said ho had sent for several
a"ticles Here tho matter rests.
n It seems that there has been rather q
score given the holders of stamps by the
agitation CT the bill which has caused d
run on the ccmpany's place Of business.
But tho company Is compelled to furnish
any article In the store for the required
number of stamps and the more contrary
the managers arc in furnishing the articles
the sooner there will be adopted the law
doing away with the business.

Remarkable Musical Memories.
Possibly the greatest case on record is
that wonder Of wonders, the most in
tellectual of interpreters the late DR..
Hans Won Rulow. l,o not only played
all Of Beethoven by heart upon the pi-
Gno, but knew all the symphonies in the
Same manner, and practically the whole
Wagneran Oui pat Of musical metal, and
1t Is claimed that SO great was the mass
Of the piano music which Bulow retain
cd "within the book and volume of his
brain, Inserted i'll mysterious hero
glyphics somewhere among tho mole.
cules Of the gray matter constituting the
cortex Of his cerebral organ, that he
could have played 25 piano recital pro-
grammes without repeating and without
printed rago, Since there go about
1900 measures to the hour and two
solid hours to al ordinary Eulow pro-
gramme this would represent 100 900
measures Of music, or about 1000 large
pages, something like eight or ten thick
volumes.
Even Rulow was outdone by Rubin
stein, in the field Of piano music at
least, if we can trust the anccdotc mon
gers, for it is claimed that in one season
at st. Petersburg he played a series of
rccitals which exhausted the literature
Of the piano and embraced /, 800 dis
tinct compositions. 1t is mentioned of
Mendclsaohn that on one occasion, the
score Of Beethoven Sixth SymEnuny"
having been misplaced, he raised his
baton and directed the work from mem
Dry, but this does not seem to me feat
in tho least remarkable, for the pastoral
symphony is so extremely lucid and so
hewitchingly beautiful that the only
thing difficult or remarkable would be
the forgetting Of 1t. Nine. Patti knew

Commercial VertjiEZcrs.

AT a farmers institute IN Pennsylva-
MIA it was told that the use Of CONNER.
cial fertilizers has paid on naturally
thinnish soils. There is no question on
this point. But the puzzling question
with many is the advisability Of paying
out money for complete fertilizers or
dependence upon the use Of phosphorio
acid alone. For wheat and grass the lat.
ter alone, in the form Of acid rock. often
gives about as good results az the more
costly fertilizers. Where clover grows
we'll Or can be made to grow we'll it
should furnish all the nitrogen needed,
Theoretically some rock, mixed with
muriate Of potash and used In conneo-
ton with clover should be the thing
for ordinary Soils For the tobacco and
potato crops some potash is desired in
tho fertilizers used here.
