(Cont'd.)

A light. rich, moist soil is hest
adapted to the growth of celery;
on the other hand soil that is
heavy and wet and sticky. is un-
favorable to its growth. The plants
like plenty of water at all times,
but are apt to rot Ii: cold, heavy,
wet soil. Provided manure is at
command. poor light soil is better
than one that is stiff and rich. The
plants will bear flooding with water
during the growing season, bnt in
winter, or rather in the early fall,
must be discontinued or the plants
will soon rot. For such varieties
as the self-blanching, trenches 6 or
8 inches in depth will be sufficient,
but for the late and larger growing
varities, trenches I2 inches deep
are best. The soil, when being
dug out, should be equally dis
trihuted on either side of trench, in
order that an equal amount of soil
may be had for earthing up. In
this damp climate the late varieties
will keep better if banked up we'll,
as the rain will be prevented from
soaking into the heart of the plants
to great extent.
The young plants should be
taken from the seed bed or box as
soon as they can be handled and
picked out into we'll prepared beds.
If the sun is too bright, shading for
several days will be of great benefit.
After the plants have made from
five to six leaves, or are about six
inches high, they may be carefully
removed to the trenches or bed
where they are to remain.
Before planting out, the plants
should have the small suckers taken
off. These will found forming at
the base of each leaf, at the collar
of the plants. Though small, they
will be found TO be great nuisance
later on the life of the plant; quite
number of heads will be formed
if the process of removing these is
overlooked; but if carefully remov-
ed a good and we'll formed head
will be the result.

Washington, April 27-Secretary of
War Alger and Maj.-Gen. Miles both
saw the president. They arrived at
the White House within a few min
utes of each other, but did not see the
president together. Secretary Alger
was already with the president when
Gen. Miles arrived, and the latter
waited Is minutes until Secretary AL
ger had emerged from the presidents
private room. He was then admitted,
and remained with the president for
ter minutes. When he left the White
House he declined absolutely to dis
cuss the object of his visit. This is
the first time Gen. Miles has called on

WHAT w. L. KENDIG SAYS.
The Last Bribe Money, He Says. was
Paid to Former District Attor
neys Inghnm and hewitt.

Lancaster, Pa, April CIV. L. Ken
dig, one of the principals in the extern
sive counterfeiting of revenue stamps,
went to Philadelphia, and before his
departure, speaking of the alleged
conection of former United States Dis
trict Attorney Ingham and his law
partner, eX-Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney hewitt, with the
scheme, said the last bribe money
paid out was to those two, and that
the amount was $4,000.
1t has been dIvulged that w. NJ. ia
cobs, the alleged chief of the counter
feiters, had made an unsuccessful at
tempt to bribe another internal rev
enue collector before approaching Col
lector Downey, who was arrsted Mon
day. Aldus C. Herr, formerly a clerk
for Jacobs, became suspicious that
everything was not right, and re-
signed. A year later he was appoint
ed a deputy collector. Jacobs then
called on him and asked if any secret
service men were in Lancaster, and
proposed that Herr should keep him
posted as much as possible of their
purpose. The officer said: "Mr. ia
cobs, you must remember | am a
sworn officer of the law" That ended
the episode so far as Jacobs was con-
cerned, but Mr. Herr reported his sus-
picions to the collector, and then
learned that Jacobs was under sur
veillance.

THE SAN PEDRO HARBOR.
The Commencement of Actual Work
Made the Occasion for Big
Public Demonstration.

Los Angeles, Cal, ApIN 27.-The
commencement of actual work on the
harbor at San Pedro commenced when
President Mckinley, in his library at
the White House, pressed an electric
button which caused a rock-laden
barge to tilt its cargo on the spot
where the contractors have designated
the work to begin. Representative
people from all parts of California
were in attendance, and people from
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Ne
vada witnessed the beginning of what
is destined to be one of the finest har-
bors on the Pacific coast. The dump
ing of the first load of rock was greet
ed by the mingled cheers of thousands
of people, accompanied by the screech-
ing of steam whistles and the boom
ing of cannon.
The literary exercises attending the
celebration took place in the after
noon, during the progress of which
congratulatory dispatch was received
from the president.

STEEL BILLITS ADVANCING.
Strong Tone In the Steel Market
Orders for Structural Material
are Away Behind.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 27-Prces in
the Pittsburgh steel market reached
high-water mark this week. Since
Monday steel billets have been selling
at $26.50 per ton, and that in 1,000-ton
lots for delivery in three and four
months. Jones and Laughlin sold one
such lot at that price for eastern de.
livery. This is considered by steel
manufacturers as an indication that
there is but little danger Of back
ward turn in prices for the present.
In other branches of the iron indus.
try the same strong tone continues to
prevail. Structural material is in
such demand that builders, all over
The country, have put off projected
buildings, as they can not contract to
get the steel in time for this years
building.
