Keeping Apples In Winter.

At recent meeting of a farmers insti-
tute, writes an Illinois correspondent of the
New York Tribune, it was decided that
the best winter care of apples consists in
first gathering the fruit carefully, sorting,
and packing stem down in ordinary soap
or shoe boxes. The lids should be fast
ened on the boxes, and they should then
be placed in the cellar slightly raised from
the ground, in order that the air should
circulate freely beneath. Care should be
taken to keep the windows closed on damp,
rainy days. The cellar should be venti-
lated when the air is colder outside than
within. The boxes should not be moved
about or turned over. Even Bellhowers
will sometimes keep in this way until the
first of June. AS regards the growing of
this variety, it was decided that it does not
do well on rich, black prairie soil, but
needs clay.
1t was thought that the great scarcity of
apples in the Mississippi, Missouri and
Ohio valleys this year is partly due to the
washing off of the pollen of the blossoms
by the frequent rains, though it was noted
that one fortunate man in Illinois has a
thousand bushels, much to the envy of his
neighbors, who have none. This success
seems to be due to several years careful
cultivation and timely spraying.

The Argus says of the pages mock ses-
sion, "Orrice Ballard appeared in many of
the bills. One bill was for testing him for
tuberculosis. If he should be found diseas-
ed, to be condemned and killed, the state
to pay a sum not exceeding So. Another
bill put Orrice on board where he would
be the only member and receive 81 a day,
the passage of the bill to be assisted by a

The members of the legislature have been
busying themselves for several days secur-
ing subscriptions for memorial to Speak

is a handsome silver loving cup. 1t is
said to have cost in the neighborhood of
$3.50. 1t is beautiful enough to grace the
house of the most fastidious, and Speaker
Haskins will be justly proud of the memo
rial. The bulk of the amount necessary
for the purchase came from the speakers
own part of the state Montpelier Argus.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Continued from the Ist page.l

the Brattleboro Retreat, where it stated
there are now % state patients.
The report declares, however, that owing
to the congested condition of the asylum
at Waterbury something should be done,
either by sending more patients to Brattle-
boro or building additional buildings.
The committee recommended the follow
ing appropriations:
To cover deficiency of 1896 appropri-
alton. 046O0
Furoishing, and equipping patholog. ''
ica building, 1000
To erect building for nurses, $1,000
To purchase farm, 87OO
AS reason for the recommended appro-
pristion for the building for nurses the
committee say that the nurses are now
compelled to live and sleep in the same
building as patients, but ought mot to. A
new building would also give more room for
patients.
The committee also says that farm is
needed to give work for patients. One has
been leased, but ought to be owned. The
pathological building is already built but
not equipped. The committee reports
bill covering its recommendations.
The bill providing for a referendum on
the liquor question went through the SEN
ate this afternoon by a tight squeeze. On
the passage of the bill the vote was Ia for
and Ia against it, and Lieut.. Gov. Bates
cast the decisive ballot passing the bill.
Senators Mccullough and Batchelder of
Bennington county were paired and did
not vote. The former was against the bill
and the latter for it. The bill provides
that all the towns of the state shall vote at
their next annual meetings on the question

or substituting high license, but the vote
is to have no binding force and would
Hnerely test the sentiment of the voters.
The senate this afternoon resolved itself
into committee of the whole and listened
to an argument from Gov. Smith in favor
of his taxation theory. Hon. Hiram A.
Huse of Montpelier also spoke in favor of
the bill. The battle over the fish hatchery
appropriation is apparently not yet finished
as the senate this afternoon amended the
bill by making the appropriation 5000.
The house has been talking most of the
time today on the bills to compel states
attorneys and other officers to do their
duty" and to abolish the board of agricul-
ture. Both were finally passed, the former
by vote of 10 to 104 and the latter by
vote of ZIG to 1913. The first named of
these bills provides that if states attorneys,
justices of the peace, municipal judges and
grand jurors do not enforce the laws re-
lating to the liquor traffic they shall be
liable to fine of 5000 and Imprisonment
for not more than six months. The SEN
ate has killed the anti-tuberculin test bill
which went through the house with such
a rush last week.
The senate at an evening session tonight
refused the Gov. Smith taxation bill a third
reading by a vote of 10 to II. The senate
also killed a bill passed by the house to
prevent Sunday excursions.

An Exciting Debate.
From the FINLAND Herald Renor

From the Rutland Herald Report
AT the opening of the Tuesday afternoon
session the house bill relating to the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law, which
created so much excitement at the morn
ing session, was read the third time. This
bill, introduced by Mr. Ballard of Georgia,
provides that any states attorney, grand
juror, sheriff, deputy sheriff, constable,
justice OF the peace or municipal Judge who
shall fail to prosecute or enforce the pro-
hibitory law shall be fined not less than
5000 Tor each offence or given six months
in the workhouse, or both. Mr.. Kinsley
of Lowell moved to dismiss the bill. On
the demand for yea and nay vote the mo-
ton TO dismiss was lost by vote of 66 to
1874.
Mr.. Haskins of Brattleboro, who had
called Col. Emery of Chelsea to the chair,
then made a spirited speech against the
passage of the bill, closing with the state
ment, This is the silliest piece of legisla-
ton that the Vermont house of representa-
tives ever passed"
Mr.. Ballard of Georgia said that in his
opinion lawyers stood by the prohibitory
law because they make money out of the
law. Mr.. Haskins replied to the charge
by stating that he had heard such insinua-
tions before. 1t is not true, he said, of
the lawyers in his part of the state that
they supported the prohibtory law for the
money there is in it for them. He added:
81 hurl the affirmation back into the teeth
of the gentleman who made it,"
Mr.. Ballard apologized for what he had
said so far as it related to the gentleman
from Brattleboro.
Mr.. Dickerman of Pittsford demanded
the yeas and nays and the bill passed by a
vote of 10 to 104.
There was intense excitement when it
was found by these votes that the house
had broken away from the leadership of
Speaker Haskins, for he is the natural
leader of the Republicans.

The resolution to adjourn from Wednes-
day morning to Friday afternoon at 4
o'clock was introduced by Speaker Has
kins. Speaker Haskins took the floor as
the member from Brattleboro in support of
the resolution. F. d. Hale of Lunenburgh,
occupied the speakers chair. Speaker
Haskins's argumett greatly influenced the
adjournment to Friday. He said there
were many important bills that should be
given proper consideration. He was glad
to see the discussion on the Sunday excur-
sion bill last evening. 1t showed proper
spirit. There was no question about
that decision. There has been about this
legislature, said he, the largest lobby of any
Legislature. (Applause) What are they
here for If not TO rush through important
measures at the last minute?
LET us show little backbone and re-
fuse to pass in haste ill-considered bills in
order to observe the unwritten law that
the legislature must adjourn before
Thanksgiving. Now, gentlemen, stand by
me and refuse to be hurried. l think that
if this house sees new precedent and ad-
journs when our business is done and not
till then no better action will have been
taken during the whole session.
Several other members followed, sup
porting the speakers views and the resolu-
tion was carried almost unanimously.

MONTPELIER, Nov.

The senate and house after a disagree
ment of "a hours finally concurred in ad-
journing from yesterday morning to Mon
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. Final adjourn
ment is fixed for next Thursday at o
O'Clock. After the return a strenuous eff
fort will be made to get the Gov. Smith
taXaton'id embodied in bill through
both houses, in form modified somewhat
from the bill the senate killed Tuesday
evening. The house is sure to have hot
fight over the senate referendum bill and
several new bills of interest and import
ance are expected to make their appear
ance after the Thanksgiving recess.

Mrs. Louise Buttrick, "a, is in the Lynn,
Mass, hospital in a critical condition
from the effects of an assault made upon
her Monday by a strange negro who asked
for drink of water and then followed her
into the kitchen where he attacked her
with a diamond shaped stone, beating her
head terribly. When the negro rushed at
her he said, ''I've waited ten years to kill
you" Mrs. Buttrick regained conscious
ness after time, and rushed screaming
into the yard, where she fell again. Her
cries attracted the attention of neighbors
who came to her assistance. Two little
boys saw the negro disappear in the woods
toward Swampscott. A negro who has
been identified by Mrs. Buttrick as the as
sailant is under arrest. 1t is thought that
he is insane.

Election Betting DemoraIizIng.

1t is calculated that more than a million
dollars changed hands in New York city
on the result of the election. OF this sum
Richard Croker is credited with losing
$4,000, but the probability is that most
of it was not his but represented Tam
many funds and was bet for campaign
purposes. These heavy election wagers
are decidedly demoralizing, an incentive to
gambling and offer additional temptations
to corrupt the ballot. 1t is a fact, too,
that both the election committees took
part in the betting. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that election wagers are to be ever
done away with, but it were better if they
were for small sums, just to show the
spirit of the wagers.

A story has been received at Port Town

who is in Alaska that the little steamer
Jesse was wrecked at the mouth of the
Kuskokwim river. The IS men on board
made landing and established a camp,
the Indians assisting them in getting their

and one massacred the entire party, bury
