With No Democrats in Field South
bridge is Apathetic.
Southbridge, Oct. 23.-Polttics are I'M
usually quiet this year for time so
near the fall election, and apparently
little work is being done by either par
ty. Southbridge has two citizens in
the field on the republican ticket. Geo.
Il. Clemence, for state senator. will be
well supported in town, irrespective of
party and will be the choice of the
farmers as a unit He is generally
considered as good senator as could
be sent from this district.
William +. Heron, the Southbridge
man nominated for representative, will
also be well supported in his own town,
as his experience of last year shows,
and it looks as if Webster would give
the Southbridge man such support as
will insure his election. The absence
of any local men on the democratic
ticket is one reason for the lack of the
usual election work.

AN EQUINE BATTLE.
Two East Brookfield Horses Make
Their Hoofs Fly.

East Brookfield, Oct. PA battle
royal was fought yesterday on Howe
street, between equines belonging to
Joseph Lavigne and Lewis Henshaw.
The two hourses were pastured in adj
joining lots, and in some way the one
owned by Henshaw strayed into La
vigne's pasture. The latter's horse re-
scented this intrusion and mado fierce
attack on the trespasser. Soon heels
were flying and such hard kicks adj
ministered that they could be heard a
considerable distance.
Henshaw's hourse was at a disad-
vantage, his hind feet being unshod.
Girourd Lavigne, who lives near by,
was attracted by the noise and, though
unable to get near the combatants,
finally separated them by means of
clubs and stones. Lavignes horse was
but slightly injured but some severe
gashes were made on the flank and legs
of the one owned by Henshaw. There
seems to be only an even chance Of his
recovering from his injuries.
The bridge over the Quaboag river is

marked by all who see them. The
difference is not only seen in the large
crops of bright oranges but the in
creased growth of bearing wood and
foliage that is shown in the Thomp-
son groves. One of Mr.. Thompson's
groves is the center third of grove
that had been divided in settling an
estate.
Groves on both sides were fertilized
with other brands, but the center
with Simon Pure No. 1."-Result--
the groves on sides scarcely any fruit,
while the center has good crop and
trees in a healthy, vigorous condition.
One thing that is all the more re-
markable about the crops on these
groves is the fact that this is considered
an "off year" and but little fruit any
where yet these trees are loaded with
nearly double their last years crops
Other groves in the neighborhood
have small crops, little new growth
and are generally of less healthy APP
pearance.
The Reasoner Bros, prOprietors Of
the celebrated Royal Palm Nurseries
have used this Simon Pure Fertilizer
for the past four years, everything
there shows good results. In fact the
large experience of Reasoner Bros, IN
the cultivation of fruit and ornament
al trees, and their success with all
kind of plants which engage their at
tention makes the subject of proper
fertilizing one of vast Importance, and
they are so well satisfied with the ST.
mon Pure that they will continue its
use from year to year.
We are informed that in Volusia
county, about DeLand, where Mr..
Painter lives and has large interests
that ninety-fve per cent OF the grow
ers use Simon Pure Fertilizer. This
in itself shows the appreciation which
the fruit growers of Volusia county
have for this celebrated brand, and
from what we saw at Oneco in Mr..
Thompson's grove and the Royal
Palm Nurseries, we would have no
hesitation in recommending its use,
particularly, where growth of trees
and heavy fruitage is desired.

The Use of Fertilizers.
The Manatee County Advocate OF

The Manatee County Advocate OF
December 8th, says:
There seems to be so much misun-
derstanding regarding the use of COM
mercial fertilizers, that one is surpris-
ed at the extent and loss resulting
from not knowing what is required by
a bearing tree, and how best to supply
that want.
One grower we know has the right
idea-that a bearing tree requires
fertilizer largely composed Of potash
and phosphoric acid in proper proper
tons. He uses that kind, and in sufi-
Gent quantity to both make abundant
growth, heavy frllitage and large
crops.
A demonstration of this fact we saw
lately at Oneco in the two groves be-
longing ito Mr. w. B. Thompson. These
groves are sixteen years old and con-
tain 600 trees, which are indeed beau
tiful and loaded with fruit. The foil
age is Of a dark green color and the
trees have vigorous and healthy APP
pearance. They have been fortified
for two years with the ''Simon Pure
No. 1" ertiizer-prepared by p. 0.
Painter & Co., Jacksonville, Fla. Mr..
Thompson is very earnest in his
praise Of this fertilizer. He says it
has given better results than any he
has used before. This from such a
well-knOwn, practical hOrticulturist,
having so. much experience with
groves of his own as well as the sew
era groves he has cultivated for 9TH
ers in this county, is enough recon-
mendation to warrant us in enquiring
further for more information.
We find Mr.. Thompson uses two APP
Dications of this fertilizer on his
groves in year. The first being four
tons or IS and one-eight pounds to the
tree about December LIST, and applies
the same amount about June 1st. This
makes the annual cost, with the ferti-
iizer at $3.50 per ton, at fifty-three
cents to tree. The contrast which
these two groves present with others

Of how the returning seamen we're
allured by the mermaids. 1t closed
with the national hymns Of the
principal countries OF the world,
This last part was commenced with
the Star Spangled Banner, and it
was not encored, as first OF all the
singers were not pathetic enough,
and the majority OF those present
being Hawaiians, naturally they
have not as yet loved their adopted
country, and time can only tell
whether they will ever appreciate
the Stars and Stripes or not. "God
Save the Queen," sung by w. G..
Scott, was encored three times, and
the French National hymn, sung by
a true, loving, and pathetic French
man, was the best of all, 1t ended
with Hawaii Ponoi, sung by the
supporters OF the Government, and
instead of their furling the colors in
front as they had done with the Star
Spangled Banner, they saw best to
have it in the rear, casting an insult
and slur on the Hawaiians, whose
hearts still beat with pride and Joy
at the sight of their pretty flag, As
Hawaii Ponoi was being sung
half of the people left the room, as
they knew too we'll that it is not be-
coming, as there is no such country
as Hawaii to-day,
Much credit is due to Mrs. Heapy
and Mrs. Cox for the entertainment.

Major j. M. Camara took his
former company to Pearl City on
Saturday evening, and the boys
camped out and had a good time
until Sunday afternoon, when they
returned to the city.

A Fire Scare in a Theatre.

OF the performance al the Chi
nese theatre on Saturday night it is
only proper TO say that promises
we're unfulfilled, and that the audi.
ence was good tempered to degree
that would scarcely he rivalled in
even very "snide jay town" The
spectroscope, as usual with such
shows, failed to work but managed
to create a dangerous sensation by
bursting into flames which caused a
cry of Sire" The theatre was emp
tied in a few seconds, the people be-
having very well, and in few min
utes another motley audience poured
in, after raid had been made by
some hoodlums on the box office
and about $40 of the proceeds garn-
isheed by the thieves. After a long
linger in semi darkness with a few
minor attempts at singing the per-
formance closed with an alleged
dance. Much sympathy is expressed
for the company at their misfor-
tunes, for they mean we'll and pro-
pose to give a free entertain ment
this evening to prove their anxiety
to keep faith with the public.

Pauoa School Concert.

The residents Of Pauoa, and chiefly
the Hawaiians, are justly proud of
he creditable showing made by
their children at the concert given
at Foster Hall last Saturday even
ing; and great praise is given Miss
Aheong for the patient and careful
training with which she has labor
ed, and which the audience fully
appreciated by their frequent de-
monstration of applause.
The INDEPENDENT fully appreciates
and extends its congratulations to
Miss Aheong upon the successful
issue of the concert by her bright
and witty pupils.

Avery unpleasant occurrence took
place on Saturday in which the po-
lice authorities certainly did not
show great deal of common sense
or tact. A very prominent society
lady was riding in a hack. On her
bodice she had a watch attached to
short chain Another lady, who
has recently lost watch, probably
resembling that worn by the lady
first mentioned, happened to see it
and Immediately rushed to the Po-
lice Station where she gave the
number of the hack occupied by the
lady who had the watch which be-
longed to Cher" The officer in
charge Immediately went on chase
after the hack in which the alleged
thief had been driving. He made
numerous inquiries to the eventual
annoyance of the hack-drivers and
his passenger and finally found the
driver who then had another "load"
and from whom the name of the "lady
with the watch" was demanded. The
driver unhesitatingly gave the name
Of the lady in question, and the po-
lice collapsed. No actual damage
was done, but it is one of the incident
which should serve as lesson to the
young men who run the Police De-
partment to go very slow in certain
instances and not take the word of
every hysterical woman coming
along and making serious, although
not perhaps Intentionally malicious,
accusations against our best people.

MONDAY, MARCH q, 1899.
TOPICS OF TIE DAY,

The trifing scare of fire at the
Chinese theatre on Saturday even
ing is warning to the authorities
to see to it that the exits from the
galleries are improved before a real
fire takes place. The exit from the
main building is wide enough and
safe enough, except for the steep
stairways leading into the street,
but the narrow and crooked stairs
from the gallery are extremely dan
gerous. Unless altered there may
be holscaust before long and then
the Government will be blamed and
deservedly so.

Rev Mr.. Kiucaid is reported to
have said yesterday in his sermon:
at seems, though, that when a man
gets through work it would afford
both rest and recreation to listen to
an earnest sermon replete with
nineteenth century ideas and soulful
thought" 1t undoubtedly does af-
ford rest and recreation when such
sermon is preached by a man com
petent to preach it. Good preach
ers, men who speak from the heart
to the soul, invariably draw large
congregations of thinking men, es-
pecially if they limit their addresses
to ten or twelve minutes. Empty or
full church are but the reflex of the
peoples appreciation of the abilities
of the clergymen in charge of their
Aocks.

Paris, June 2.-The vicinity of the
palace of justice was almost deserted
| when the court of cessation resumed
hearing the arguments in the applica-
ton for Il revision OF the Dreyfus trial.
Many Of the public seats in the court
were empty. NJ. Maneau, the procura-
tor-general, continued his speech,
which was Interrupted yesterday by
the adjournment of the court. He con-
tended that Maj. Count Esterhazy was
the author of the bordereau which has
| figured so prominently in the case, and
not Dreyfus.
In the course of his remarks he said
| that, whoever was guilty, somebody
had committed the crime of treason.
| Esterhazy, however, he pointed out,
having been acquitted of the author
ship of the bordereau. cannot again be
prosecuted on this ground, even if he
were an hundred times guilty. Later
NJ. Maneau said:
What proof exists that there has
| been an act of treason Of nature
tending to compromise the security OF
the stated Are we not, perhaps, in the
presence of number OF unimportant
documents, as Gen. MERCER thought,
and, consequently, in the presence OF
a mysterious hoax, an audaclous piece
of swind1ing, perpetrated by the au-
thor of the bordereau upon his foreign
correspondent. This is a terrible ques-
ton and one which involves the most
painful presumption-that OF the mar
tyrdom of man whose Innocence
seems established by several new
facts"
NJ Maneau's address was largely a
| pnnntifiOn Of hn ct of tho
porter of the case. There was the
same array of facts and similar deduc-
tons therefrom. The procurator gen
erals analysis Of the secret documents
was very close and he wound up with
an emphatic declaration that there is.
nothing nthc secret dosSicr to incrim-
mate Dreyfus, saying:
1--WE do not understand why there
was such delay nsubmitting them to
investigation"
This statement caused a sensation.
Continuing, M. Maneau remarked:
"Of the three secret documents by
which M. Cayaignac former minister
of WARY sought to justify the condemn
ing. two We're forgeries and the third
does not apply to Dreyfus.'
This declaration, uttered with i'm
pressive solemnity. had an immense
effect upon the audience. In conclusion
NJ Maneau said:
1--WE assert that several new facts
exist of such nature as to prove
Dreyfus' innocence. Therefore, may it
please the court to quash the Judgment
of Dec. %, 1894, and send Dreyfus, as
a defendant, before such court-martial
as the court may decide
This statement caused applause,
which the president suppressed by or
dering the court to be cleared.
Later the court adjourned.

Manila, June 2.-Friendly natives ar

The insurgents, who are returning

that the inhabitants were badly op-

the American occupation, but that
their condition is worse now. Doubt
less there is much truth in the reports,
