weather during April, May and early

recover quickly, but may also carry the

season, when weather favorable to its
development will cause another attack.
A kindred disease is plum pockets" or

THE MEMORIAL ROSE.


10 Blooms PrOfusOly In July and Com
tlnueS In Flower Through the Fall.
Much praise is bestowed ON the dainty
little Rosa wiohuriana, or Memorial
rose, by ViCk's Monthly. 1t is told that
the natural manner Of growth is creep
ing and II allowed to have its own way
it will quickly cover q large space,
throwing out roots at frequent intervals,
thus providing much larger amount
Of nourishment according to the size Of
the plant than any other rose. 1t came
from Japan, and, like all plants which
come to us from that strange country,
1t has great merit and attraotiveness.
The leaves are very small, Of a hand
some green, and shine as If vanished.
Here they are partially evergreen and
are entirely so in many places where
considerable freezing may be expected.
The flowers are Of the form and size
of the wild rose, creamy white in color,
with an unusual number OF golden yell
low stamens, which give an added beauty
to the flower The fragrance is exqui-
site, having something Of the violet Odor
and reminding one Of the fragrance Of
the Banksia roses Instead Of blooming

little gem begins to bloom in July, CIV
ing great profusion Of flowers during
that month and providing an occasional
one through the remainder Of the sum.
mer and fall. The roses are followed by
brilliant red heps that remain on the
plant till spring.
This rose is especially adapted for
cemetery planting, and two or three
good plants will completely cover a
grave in one season, either ON the bare
earth or over the sod. Little trimming
or clipping is needed the first season,
but the branches need to be trained in
the right direction and pegged down oc-
casionally. After the first year the
plants will need considerable pruning
to keep them from running all over the
lot. It is so hardy that it lives unpro-
tected almost anywhere and starts into
rapid growth early in spring.
The vines can be trained to grow up
right If desired, and vine grown in
that way is beautiful sight, AS the
branches are slender they need a firm
support for about three feet from the
ground, and then the shoots can be al
lowed to follow their own sweet will.
In this again the trailing habit shows
itself, and the branches droop graceful
ly in all directions When in bloom, a
more beautiful sight cannot be imagined
than the graceful swaying vines, thick
ly covered with foliage and gemmed

the fungus are thickened and much dis
torted; the twigs are thickened and en-
larged. There is great variety in the
distortion caused by leaf curl fungus
Small areas Of the leaves are often
much arched and yellowish or reddish
in color. The affected areas have usual
ly a paler color.
Professor Selby has found that two
applications of bordeaux in a season IA
vorable to leaf curl will sufficiently pre-
vent the disease to enable the tree to
carry a crop Of fruit without very great
dropping, and that thorough spraying
the preceding season is even more effect
i've in the prevention Of leaf curl than
during the season Of its occurrence.

iron sockets ON the sides which are
made to hold the by standards on
the side boards can be made by any
blacksmith out Of an old wagon tire.
The side boards may be made any
height TO suit the purpose and may be
planed and painted or put up in the
rough. There are several styles of end
gates, and any Of them can be used to
suit the taste. The end gates may be
fastened in with an end gate rod or
hooks and staples used.
A box like this can DO made tight
enough by flooring the frame carefully
SO that any grain or shelled corn may
be hauled in it. It can be built very
cheaply and where a farmer is handy
with tools should not cost over $3.50,
as nearly all the material may be pro.
duced from the farm excepting the
hardware.
However, IL the material be pur-
chased it should not cost over "a. A
very handy feature about this box is
that when not in use it can be folde'

- At the Maine memorial service
in the Presbyterian church on Sun
day evening, Judge Grindeland de-
livered an eloquent and patriotic ad-
dress in which he graphically told
the story of the destruction of the
Maine in Havana harbor, that the
crime was plainly laid at the door OF
the Spaniards from the evidence, and
that the war now waged is just pun
ishment to them for this most foul
and awful murder. He said the
American people were not so wholly
absorbed in getting hold OF the al
mighty dollar but that they had
time to strike a blow for humanity
and liberty Rev. Spicer also made
few eloquent remarks portraying
Gods ways of dealing with nations,
saying that he believed Cod had
raised up the United States to pun
ish Spain for her deeds Of cruelty in
the centuries gone by. At the close
OF the service collection was taken
up, which together with the contri-
buttons from the children OF the pub
lie schools, will go towards the cree
ton of monument to the memory
! OF the noble heroes who met death
on the Maine.

tion induces us to place nine districts

In Pennsylvania. and the twelfth in
Texas. We are reasonably certain to
get some of these. Without them,
however, we have Il clear majority
and are resting perfectly easy.

AT the headquarters of the Demo

fidence is expressed that the demo

not concede many of the claims made
by Chairman Babcock, of the repub-
lican committee, and says that in n
large number of districts it will re
qure the official count to determine
definitely the result.
1t seems certain" said Secretary
Kerr to a representative of the Asso
ciated Press, that We have elected
1873 members of the next House, the
republicans 1853, and that eleven dis
tricts are in doubt. In New York we
will have twenty one members; il
Pennsylvania nine and perhaps ten
in Kansas four, at least, and perhaps
five; in Nebraska four; in North Car

TIE VIRGINIA ELECTIONS,
Solid Democratic Delegation in the
Next Congress.

The result of the election in Vir-
giuia Tuesday is indeed most graft.
flying to the Democrats For the first
time in many years the Mother of
States and Statesmen has elected q
solid democratic delegation to Con-
gress.
Ex-Judge W. F. Rhea, of the Ninth
district, received the smallest major
itv. but it is sufficiently large to Sc
cure him the certificate of election.
He wired Chairman Ellyson that it
would reach 1900. Hemade a gallant
tight against big odds. His opponent,
General James A. Walker, is an as
tute and untiripg canvasser, and the
district is ordinarily republican on
4ccount of the strong hold protec-
ZION has on the voters. But Rhea
worked with uuflagging zeal and con
fidence, and now has his reward.
1t is said that General Walker will.
in the event his party controls the
next House, contest the election OF
Judge Rhea. AS chairman of the
sub committee of elections General
Walker has unseated several demo
Gratis and seated as many republicans
and he will naturally expect repub
lican majority to recompense him by
giving him Judge Rhea's seat.

The republican ticket was victo
rious in Delaware last Tuesday, and
Addicks, it is announced, will have
enough of the members of the Legis'
ture of that State to do his bidding
and elect him United States Senator.
The thought is enough to bring sor.
row to every decent man, and sug-
gests the inquiry, what has Delaware
done that she should be so terribly
afflicted? Addicks occupying seat
in the Senate once graced by Bayard
or Salisbury. Is republicanism in
Delaware so vile that Addicks is a
worthy representative of it?

The election returns do not show
positively whether the democrats or
republicans will have control Of the
next House of Representatives. Both
are claiming it, but it looks as if the
republicans might have small ma
iority in that body, and majority of
one of course means, that they will
enlarge it to suit themselves without
regard to the wishes of the people as
expressed at the polls Cd Tuesday.
The gains made by the democrats,
though, will not be without good re-
suits. 1t will enable US to put check
upon the republicans, perhaps, in
their wild schemes of territorial ex-
pansion and may prevent them from
creating hundreds of new offices for
their henchmen. The President is
indeed blind, if the election returns
do not convince him that the people
by no means endorse Algerism or his
Philippine policy, and does not heed
the lesson which it teaches.

Senator James K. Jones, chairman

Senator James K. Jones, chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, speaking of Roosevelt's victory
over Van Wyck in New York, says
cit was no serious loss to the democ
racy of the country. The dominant
democrats of New York State went
astray on the party platform, and
only reaped the reward of stragglers
and piecemeal politicians. In his
opinion many democrats doubtless
concurred in New York, and to it the
defeat of Van Wyck must be attrio-
uted. Croker democracy is too closely
akin to republication for real demo
Gratis to shed many tears over the de-
feat Of it.
