The race track men are at odds against
one another at Elkton, Nd. There are two
tracks that were going to be opened, one
ut Iron Hill and the other at Eikton on
Monday, when Col. W. H. May, of the
Maryland Racing Association, secured an
injunction against the Oriule Racing As
ISOLATION at Iron Hill. The in Injunction, it
appears, is based ON the decision Of the
Maryland Court of Appeals. which decided
Il was illegal for any combination or esso-
nation to race more than 30 days in he
sounty In any one year To get around
the law the Iron Hill Association goes
under three different names, giving racing
meets at three different places. Tho two
meets would have been too near together,
thus keeping both from making money,
and that is what they are gotten up for.

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE.

One Will BE Seen by the People Of
America on May go. 1900.
The people of America will have
very unusual chance to see total solar
eclipse right here at home On May %,
1890. Astronomers are even now study
ing the meteorological tables for past
years in order to find the localities
promising clearest skies, says the
Washington Post. The lire OF totality
first touches the continent on the Paci-
fic coast in Mexico, north of Cape Co.
rientes. pursuing northeast course,
leaving Mexico at the mouth of the kio
Grande. crossing the gulf of Mexico and
entering the United States at Atchafa-
laya bay. Louisiana. The breadth of
the line is about fifty miles. The eclipse
will be total at New Orleans at about
1922 a. m. Washington time. The
eclipse will be visible in Macon. Raj
eigh. Norfolk and intermediate and
neighboring points. Crossing the ocean
the land first touched is near the port
OF Coimbra. Spain. passing southeast
across southern Europe ard the Medi-
terranean sea. Thus all the astrono-
mers in both hemispheres will be with
in easy distance and with every facil-
ity for using any amount of instrument
tai equipment. The greatest duration
will be two minutes. nine seconds,
about the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

A little boy from California who has
been about great deal is spending
the holidays with his Washington cous-
ms. He has enjoyed the sights Of the
capital, but he hasn't permitted himself
to be in the slightest degree overawed
by anything he has seen. His cousins
took him-"carried" him. they said OF
it themselves-to the National Museum
one day, and called his attention to a
great log OF petrified wood lying just
outside the door. The little Califor-
MAN had been a little depressed, but
he frightened up at the sight. 1--we

their composure. We've got a whole

MRS. GLADSTONE AT HOME

Tsanyson.s Tribute to Her Written
Twenty-seven Years Ago.
Mrs. Gladstone recently celebrated
her Seth birthday, and every one wish
ed her all possible happiness, says the
London Chronicle. She has been
veritable "angel in the house" and her
loving care for her distinguished hus-
band has passed into a proverb. Mrs.
Gladstone's vitality is marvellous and
she preserves as active an interest IN
her many philanthropic works as OF
old. The eldest daughter of Sir Steph-
en- Glynne, Catharine Glynne and her
sister attracted great admiration when
they appeared in London society. When
the Glynnes were on the continent In
1899 they met very frequently Mr.. Glad
stone, who was even then a notable
politician, having already filled the Of
fee Of under secretary for the colonies
and also that of vice-president OF the
board Of trade Mr.. Gladstone's clos
est friend, Lord Lyttleton, had made as
favorable an impression on the young
er Miss Glynne as Mr.. Gladstone had
made on her eldest sister, with the re-
suit that all fashionable London was
shortly after this visit to Italy inter-
ested to hear Of the bethrothal Of the
two young politicians to the two love-
~ sisters. The weddings took place
on the same day, July %, 1889. Mrs.
Gladstone's good works began at a perl
cd when it was not so fashionable as
to-day for gentlewomen to frequent the
slums, intent on ameliorating the con-
dition of the poor. She was especially
busy at the time of a devastating cpl
demic which scourged the east end OF
London many years ago. and she was
very frequently a visitor to the London
hospital. Many a poor convalescent
has had reason to bless the name OF
Mrs. Gladstone in connection with the
home which bears her name. At Ha-
warden one sees at once how large
part philanthropy plays in Mrs. Glad
stones benefcent life There is her
boys home close to the castle and not
far from it is the home in which some
old ladies are, thanks to her kindness,
spending the evening of their days in
peace. Tennyson's words will find echo
in many heart to-day: lone could
not but feel humbled in the presence
of those whose life was evidently one
long self-sacrifice, and. one would hope,
Quickened to more of it in ones own
life. Mrs. Gladstone wears herself out
by all her hospital work in addition
to the work of a prime misister's WIFE"
That tribute was written twenty-seven
years ago, and Mrs Gladstone is still
abel to enjoy fairly good health in hei
old age.

Training Grape Vines.

E. G. Lodeman, Department of Agri-
culture Report: Training, on the other
hand. is almost wholly a matter of
convenience. 1t does not affect the
strength of the vine or the value of
the crop in any essential particular
The training Of vine refers to the dis
posal or arrangement of the various
parts of the vine after pruning has
taken place. The method of training
adapted determines the operator to
leave certain growths in certain posi-
tions, not because more or better fruit
is expected, but for the reason, per-
haps, that the fruit may be harvested
with greater ease, that a laborious op-
Grafton may be wholly dispensed with.
or that there may be less danger to the
maturing crop from winds or other nat
ural agencies. The method of training
adopted by a vineyardist Is largely the
result of personal preference or Of ed
ucation, although soil and variety are
important factors in the selection Of
system. The health and vigor Of the
vine are rarely affected by the method
in which it is trained. and although
some system of training must be adopt
ed in every vineyard. still altogether
too much weight has been laid by most
horticultural writer's upon the peculiar
merits Of the various systems. while the
actually ruinous effects Of bad pruning
have not always been sufficiently en-
phasized. A vine properly trained is
desirable, but a properly pruned vine
is essential to the highest success. The
importance Of this subject necessitates
a somewhat detailed statement Of the
principles which are vitality connected
with the proper pruning Of the vine.
These principles serve also as the foun-
dation for all systems Of training. and
they can not be ignored without more
or less injury to the plants.
ID The amount Of fruit which vine
can bear and mature in highest perfec-
ton is limited: when this limit is ex-
ceeded the fruit deteriorates.
CT Upon the fruit the effect Of over
production is to reduce the size Of the
berries and Of the clusters. and prob
ably also to impair the quality: the
vine makes q poor growth, the foliage
