Paris green may be mixed with Bor-

Paris green may be mixed with Bor-
deaux Mixture at the rate of to 6
ounces to 45 gallons. The former
amount will answer if the grubs are
small, the latter if they are larger.
For applying Paris green apart from
Bordeaux Mixture it may be used at
the same rates in water. But even
here at least an equal amount Of lime
should be used to prevent any caustic
effect OF the arsenic upon the foliage
of the potato vines. So that it is just
as well to apply the. Paris green in
Bordeaux.
White arsenic costs only about one
third as much as Paris green, and. the
Ohio Experiment Station has found it
excellent as substitute for Paris
green for liquid applications.
To make two pounds Of commercial
white arsenic and four pounds Of car
Donate Of soda are boiled in one gallon
Of water until dissolved. Another gal
lon of water is now added. This ma
terial is now arsenite of soda Itmay-
be placed in a jug, labeled poison and
kept for use as needed. It's used at
the rate of one and a half pints to Is or
fifty gallons of Bordeaux Mixture.
London purple is sometimes used in
place of Paris green, but it is more
soluable, and varies somewhat in this
respect, and there is more danger Of
injuring foliage with it. In some cases
it has been used at the rate of six
ounces to 40 gallons of water without
injury to potatoes while killing the
bugs.
The coating Of the leaves with lime,
or Bordeaux Mixture, has been thought
by some practical men to be objection
able from interfering with the func-
tions Of the breathing pores (stomata)
of foliage. No appreciable injury of
this kind, however, results f:e the
use Of these materials.
Two OF three applications of the
arsenicals at intervals OF seven or eight
days will kill out the "bugs.'' Com
monty two will be sufficient. Should
the beetles appear again repeat.
Should rain follow any application
Immediately it will be necessary to re-
new it at once.

Mrs. Bryan on the American Woman

JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, May aG.-Mrs.
w. j. Bryan, herself a graduate of the
Academy for Young Women, in this
city, made the chief address to a grad
uating class to-day. Mrs. Bryan spoke
on "1rhe American Woman" She said,
among other things: THE public find
the American woman an interesting
subject. This interest follows from
the unique position in which American
women stand to-day. The American
woman should be sufficiently indepen-
dent to study her own surroundings,
choose her own course and live the life
which is best for herself and those
nearest her, without regard to the opin-
ions of the outer world. While we
hear great deal these days about
equality, the real permanent advance
ment of woman depends upon her in
dividual development. When man
finds in woman q thorough appreciation
of his work and aims; when the mind
of woman becomes the perfect supple
ment and complement Of the mind OF
man, which the Creator intends it to
be, then will all the discussions as to
the rights and privileges cease

Young Man and Woman Drowned.

WRIGHTsvILLE, Ga, May 224-At a
picnic at Rowland's Landing on the
Ohoopee river yesterday two Of the
most popular young people in this sec
tion were drowned, young man and a
young woman, and another young wo-
man, being the third party inthe boat
that capsized, was rescued as she was
sinking for the last time. She is criti-
cally i'll from the shock.
The young people who were drowned
were Mr.. Pebley Hall and Miss Harvey
Atkinson, and it rs said they were en-
gagged to be married.. Mr.. Hall was 90
years OF age, and most estimable
yonng gentleman, Of high social and
moral standing. Miss Atkinson. was 18
years Of age, a pretty, refined young
woman and a member Of one OF the
best families in the county. Miss Liz
zie Rowland, was the third party in the
boat, and was rescued, willie she was
drowning, and with difficulty restored
to life.
At the picnic large party of young
people of the county had gathered and
the day, an ideal one, was being enjoy
ed by every one present. After lunch
con, parties Of two, three and more
scattered along the river banks, anus
ing themselves fn different ways, and
not a few were rowing on, the stream.
Mr.. Hall and Misses Atkinson and
Rowland were only crossing the stream,
intending to hunt flowers on the oppo-
site bank. In the midway of the river
the little craft overturned, just how is
not definitely learned, presumably by
some one moving in the boat, which
was only light and unsafe canoe.
Two shrill screams and a plunge into
the water attracted the attention of
the hundreds on the nearby shores,
and terror stricken by the awful trag-
edy, rescue parties rowed to the scene
as quickly as possible, but too late to
save but one Of the three, the bodies of
Mr.. Hall and Miss Atkinson going down
for the last time.
The bodies were recovered half an
hour later, an1 every effort made to
revive them, but without avail.
The picnicllers, who but an hour be-
fore had been full Of gaiety and merri-
ment, repaired to their homes, follow
ing the dead bodies of their compan-
ions in sorrow and gloom.-Atldnto

A HardeeyiIle Horror.

SAVANNAH, GA. May a0.-Mail ad-
vices from Hardeeville, S. c., say /:
About three miles from this village, on
the Oestreieher farm, OH Tuesday
night, May %, occurred terrible trag-
edy.
A two-story frame building on the
farm was occupied by Jacob Solomons,
hir wife and seven children; the eldest
aged 16 years, and the youngest an in
fant of l year.
On Wednesday some one passing saw
that the house was gone and on ap-
preaching to investigate found that
every vestigc of it was burned, and the
bodies of the nine occupants, or rather
the charred trunks ofnine human bodies
were lying iii the ashes.
. The coroner's inquest, held OIL the
25th instant. disclosed these facts:
That the house was occupied by Solo
mons and his family, and was shattered
in the lower story by the last autumnal
storms, which also carried away the
chimneys; that Solomons had resorted
to the makeshift OF building two fires,
one to cook OH and the other for
warmth, inside the lower stories OF the
house OH two circular mill saws, raised
from the board floor on small pieces OF
mon. The smoke, sparks and flame
escaped from the fire as best they could.
Evidently after the family had retired
upstairs the blow that came up ut II
o'clock that night famed the flames,
which communicated to the partition
of the stairway, aud set the house afire.
Agonizing shrieks were heard by Il
neiehbor mile distant, and must have
come from the unfortunate creatures
when they were precipitatcd into the
holocaust thatwasy yawning below them.
Jacob, the father; Amy, the wife and
mother; Rollins, Hattie, Charlie, Nor
ma, Isaac, Willie and Mamie, were all
burned.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury was
in each case that they came to their
deaths through the culpable negligence
of Jacob Solomons IN neglecting to
build q chimney for his family's use.
The scene at the place of the catastro-
phe was CHASTITY and sickening in the
extreme.

Brides Exchange Lovers.

The little town of Malinta, west OF
Toledo, O., has become famous in a
day on account Of the unheard-of pro-
ceeding between two brides exchang-
ing lovers just before the wedding
ceremony.
Frances and Mary Dipcomb, daugh-
ters of well-to-do farmer, were the
atfianced wives of two Fulton county
young men, Davis Rendice and Frank
Benson. They had decided to have a
double wedding on Thursday evening
and relatives gathered from far and
near.
The yOungmen, bearing their licenses,
reached the. Dipcomb home shortly
after noon, when, to their astonish-
ment, Mary, the younger sister, was
nowhere to be found. Subsequently
her sister found her in her room,
weeping and disconsolate. Pressed for
an explanation, she confded to her sis
ter that she could not marry Rendice,
as she loved Benson better. The elder
sister, while amazed, remarked that
she thought just as much Of one as she
did of the other. Mary shyly limited
at an exchange Of lovers. The sisters
discussed the subject seriously, and
called the young men to a conference.
AS IL result, a change was agreed
upon, and the young men hastencd to
the county seat to get their licenses
changed. Meanwhile the guests were
wondering why the men had left the
house. They were amazed when, after
the bridegrooms' return, and the local
minister called upon the two couples
to stand up for the ceremony, they OBJ
served thata general shift had occur
red.
The parents of the brides demanded
an explanation before the ceremony
proceeded, after which thay expressed
themselves satisfied, and all ended
happily.-St. Louis Republic.

Penitentiary Scandals.
COLUMBIA, May a3.-The Penitentia

COLUMBIA, May 23.-The Penitentia-
ry investigation has somewhat passed
out of the mind of the general public.
The special investigating committee,
which met here some time ago and un-
earthed the scandals, will meet here
again on the 18th OF June The inten-
ton OF the committee, at the time of
its adjournment, was to meet here on
the 18th, and, after a session Of a day
or two, go to the State farms and re-
sumo the investigation there. The
idea of the committee was to visit che
farms in person, and see with their own
eyes actually what had been done, on
the ground that two much had already
been taken on faith.
The board of directors of the Peni-
tentiary will meet here on the 18th, so
that the meE,bers Of the board might
be here at the same time as the inyestj
eating committee.
It is learned that nothing Will be
done in the matter of recovering any
Of the shortage from Col. Neal, or his
bondsmen, nor will any other action be
taken until the investigation has been
completed, and the Legislative COM
mittee makes it's report to the Govern
OF, as contemplated by the resolution
creating the committee. A specfal
committee Of the board of directors of
the Penitentiary went to see the Attor
ney General, and it was suggested to
the board that it would be best to wait
on the complete report Of the special
committee before any proceedings were
brought, and it was further stated that
it was entirely proper and quite the
thing for the board OF directors of the
Penitentialy, who were Immediately
and directly responsible for the man
agement of the Penitentiary, to bring
the suits.
The board OF directors Of the Peni
tentiary has turned over to the Attor-
ney General the j. B. Watson contract,
on which to sue for the amount due
by him to the State. The position of
the board is that it did not know Col.
Neal in the transaction as to the con-
victs supplied for the Anderson farm,
and that the contract signed by j. B.
Watson must stand for what it shows
on its face, and that any arrangement
between Col. Neal and Mr.. Watson
was entirely without the consent or
knowledge of the board OF directors.
The suit for the money due on this
contract will no doubt be pushed at
once.
A petition has been numerously
signed asking that the investigating
committee take up the Investigation
later in the summer than the 18th OF
June. The petition was gotten up by
counsel for Col. Neal, and it is stated
in the petition that number OF his
witnesses are farmers, and that it
would be very inconvenient for them
to attend an investigation at the time
set for the meeting, and further asking
that the committee hold it's meeting in
the up-country, as most of the witnesses
were from that section, and it would be
more convenient for them.-News and
Courier.
