the shallOWcr the later civilizations can

the results. Corn has no large taproOt

the plant Is necessarily weakened by
having It's supply Of moisture and nonr-

A constant supply Of food is as nee
essary 10 a growing plant as to a grow

many Of the corn roots az is done by
cnltivating 4 or ) inches deep gives the
plants a check from which they never

implement to use until the corn is ut

looking somewhat torn and ragged, but
it will recover very quickly, and no per.

time any weeds which may be growing

be cut out, and if this hoeing is care
fully done the crop will need no other
hand work, says Professor Tracy, from
whose report on corn culture in the
south this advice is reproduced.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
A Brnye Mother Hare.

It is a well known fact that many
birds, AS well as animals, which are by
nature timid can sometimes show such
courage that they are ready to attack
an enemy that may interfere with them
1t il Of course almost always in defense
of their young that they do so, 1t is on
record that Oh one uCcaS'on il small

able to rise to any height and flew elise
to the ground, sometimes almost sink

came within reach of the hare she

length the hawk dropped her burden
and scared off into space. Then it was
found that the little animal which had
been dropped and thus saved from Il
cruel death was a young hare, whose
mother, though very timid by nature,
had followed and beaten the bird which
was carrying off her little II Chat

The San Francisco Call says:
preliminary steps to consolidate under

yards of the Atlantic coast and the Union
iron works of the Pacific were taken last
summer. The negotiations were conducted
with extreme secrecy. 1t now transpires
that before Henry T. Scott left this city on
his recent eastern trip all the stock of the
Union iron works was placed in escrow in
the Anglo-Californian Bank of San Fran

Under the terms of the agreement the
ordinary stockholders reserve $3.50 per
share of the stock. The favored holders
or the active managers, reserve for their

THE. pINEI.AND RESORT.
Lakewood Looking Forward to II
Great Season-GOIf Tournament.
of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAKEWOOD, N j., November 10, 1899.
Every week gives increasing proof that
the famous pine land resort In New Jersey
is to enjoy this year a greater attendance,
which means a larger prosperity, than it
has ever before known. The occupation of
cottages has exceeded the record of last
year, and while there are still few va
cant houses, there is a brisk correspond
ence in all the agencies controlling such
properties and an activity of interest which
promises a more than usually large cottage
clientele.
The charitable societies which are patron
lied and directed by the leading ladies in the
society of Lakewood have already been or
ganiZed for the season and are buSily at
work on plans for the betterment of nu-
merOuS unfortunate conditions in far-Of To-
calities Boxes and barrels OF clothing
home comforts and small practical luxur-
les are being packed and shipped for Christ
mas delivery to missions and missionaries
and teachers among the Indians of the west
and the colOred people Of the south, and
baZaars sa rs and fairs planned which
will give practical aid TO hospitals. orphan
ages and kindred institutions during the
coming winter. The volume of Lakewood's
charitable work is great, constituting valu-
able proof that fashionable women are not
in an cases selfish.
Tho Golf club of Lakewood has decided
to hold its annual golf tournament on three
Gays OF lnankSSlN1nS week These tOurna-
ments have never yet failed to draw the
best golfers in the country, and, coming at
a time when Lakewood is crowded, have
been attended by large crowds throughout
the meeting.
The Laurel House filled it's last vacant
room on the first Saturday of November
which is a much earlier date for a full
house than the record of Lakewood has
previously shown. A fair share Of its pa
tronage now includes those who have re gu
larly visited the house each season for
many years. some of whom will remain
throughout the season. Bridal couples also
have favored the house this year to an I'M
usual extent, and the presence of several
families accounts for quite a department
of children and nurses, who spend the beau
tiful fall days very largely out Of doors
The Laurel-in-t he-Pines, which will open
next Thursday, will accommodate a hun
dred or more guests In excess of last year s
capacity. Its correspondence has been yerv
heavy, and there is reported a goodly list
of patrons who are waiting for the opening
and the occupancy of their rooms. All of
which will add to the number making up
the Lakewood following.

JURY'S AWARD.
One Thousand Dollars for Right of
Way-Other News.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
ROCKVILLE, Md, November 10. 1880
The last of the Washington and Rockville
Electric railway condemnation cases was
decided Friday, when a jury awarded the
Curtin heirs $1,000 for right of way
through their property. This removes the
last obstacles in the way of the construc-
ton of the railway from Bethesda Park to
Rockville. The Curtin case was twice tried
the verdict in the first trial, which was for
$50 for the right of way, being set aside
by Judge Henderson because one of the
jurymen was a relative of an interested
part. The second verdict is satisfactory to
all concerned
The railway company has refused to ac-
cept the conditions of the ordinance re-
Gently passed by the Rockville town coun-
Gil, granting right of way through the
town. The railway people object to sew
cral features of the ordinance, and as II is
not thought likely that the town authorities
will change the conditions, so the terminus
OF the road will probably be at the eX-
IRENE eastern end of the town.
The construction of the railroad from Be

1t will soon be in operation.

USED THE MAILS TO DEFRAUD.
Marvin A. Fuller of Chicago Under
Arreat There.

Marvin A. Fuller, wf-7 it is alleged has
for some time carried on a business under
the name The Alaska Commercial Mining
Company" was arrested by post office de-
tectives in Chicago Saturday. Fuller is
charged with using the mails for purposes
of fraud.
1t IS claimed he watched the newspapers
for death lists, and, upon learning the
name of the decedent communicated with
the heirs. stating that mining shares be-
longing to them had been turned over to
him. He claimed that $50 or more was due
on the stock. In many cases it is alleged
the heirs, thinking the shares of possible
great value, paid the assessment, only to
receive mining stock of no value. The case
will be heard November 81
