Grnftinr cherry and Plum Trec..

Most of The failures in grating cher.
ry and plum trees come from cutting
the CRAFTS too late. These trees swell
their buds earlier than any other fruit
trees, and II the buds swell before be-
ing put In they dry out the juices of
the scion 80 that II cannot effect union
with the stock. 1t Is best to set the
CRAFTS before the trees are very for
ward In leaf. as cutting Off the leaves
will then give too much of check to
the tree, and hinder the development
Of the newly set scion.

Small Farm. Profitable.


For several years prices have. quite

its fullest capacity; yet some are pro-

acre as adjoining farms equally good.
TO illustrates A farm Of 200 acres, 100
of which are improved. receiving care
full treatment and above the average
condition of farms ia the vicinity, has
cash income of from 5000 to 500
yearly as the result of the work of two
men. An adjoining farm Of forty
acres, with the same labor. averages
about $500. A river farm of forty
acres. with little more work, gives
about $1,000. Small holdings, diver

CONFEDERATE DECORATION
Car Load of Texas Flowers to Be
Shipped to East Alton, Ill

Dallas, Tex, May 26.-On next Sun
day a car load of Texas flowers will
leave Dallas for East Alton, Ill, to be
used in decorating the graves of 1000
Confederates who died there during the
war between the states.
The G. A. r. camp at Granbury Tex,
took the initiative in this matter and
the movement has been Endorsed and
heartily approved by Col. Roche, com
mander of the Texas department, G. A
r. and Mrs. Ada G. Work president
of the Woman's Relief corps of the de-
partment of Texas, the idea being for
the Blue and the Gray of Texas to send
flowers to East Alton for the decoration
of these graves.

RETALIATION ONLY WAY
That Is Left to Bring Canada to
Time.

Washington, May 26.-There is little
doubt that our government is inclined
to retaliatory considerations against
Canada by the discouraging results of
the negotiations in London, looking to
the clearing of the field for the reas-
sembling of the joint Canadian COM
mission. 1t is gathered that the Brit
ish foreign office which has seemed de-
Sirous to meet Mr.. ChOates' advances in
the spirit of compromise that promised
we'll has again been influenced by Can
ada'S refusal to agree to anything less
than a concession of all of their de-
mands. which has stopped all progress.
The department of state has referred
to the treasury department the ar
rangement of plan to protect the in
terests of the United States and a de
cision from Secretary Gage is expected
very soon.
The treasury department has now
two courses to open, both being retail
atory The first is the preparation of
an amendment to the tariff act largely
increasing duties on lumber and forest
products imported into the United
States from Canada. There is possibly
another course. A section of the Ding
ley act authorizes the United States
government in cases where countries
impose an export duty to add the
equivalent of such export duty to the
import such goods coming to the
United States. The Canadian govern
ment is not imposing in so many words,
an export duty on logs, but il has pro-
hibited their expectation. The ques-
ton before Secretary Gage is whether
this prohibition may not be regarded as
in principle the same thing as an ex-
cessive, and therefore prohibitive eX-
port tax. If this view is found the
treasury has already at hand meas
ures of retaliation it seeks in the shape
of an order prohibiting the importation
of Canadian logs into the United States
which would bear very heavily upon
other provinces in Canada, outside of
Ontario.

GUATEMALA A MEDIATOR.
Steps In Between Honduras and the
United States.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-GuatemaIa has
in a manner sought te intervene be-
tween the United States and Honduras
in the Pears case. The Honduras gov
eminent has resisted the demand to the
utmost for an indemnity of $4,000 in be-
half of the relatives of Pears. One of
its movements was to ask 10 have its
case referred to arbitration, but the
facts were so clear and the presidents
so strong that the state department de-
clined the proposition. Now United
States Minister Hunter has informed
the state department that the Guate-
rnalan minister at Tegucigalpa. the
Hondurian capital, has come forward
with an earnest appeal to the United
States to arbitrate the case and not act
harshly toward Honduras.

DRAWS COLOR LINE.
The Crew of the Cruiser New Orleans
to Dine Alone in That City.

New Orleans May 26.-The race ques-
ton has caused trouble in the reception
of the cruiser New Orleans at this city.
The cruiser came here to receive a sill
yer service and a silver bell from the
citizens of the city for which she was
named and various entertainments had
been arranged for her officers and crew
At the time she was sent south at
tention was called to the fact that she
had a larger number of negroes in her
crew than any other vessel in the navy,
and fears were expressed that this fact
might cause embarrassment. The ques-
ton was precipitated by the request of
the committee representing the various
commercial exchanges of New Orleans,
which have rendered a banquet to the
crew on the man-Of-War on Friday,
that the races should be separated at
the dinner. Mr.. Breaux, president of
the board of trade, informed Captain
Longnecker that a dinner in which ne
grOes and white men participated to-
gether would offend the public senti-
ment of the city, and asked whether it
would not be possible to separate the
no such distinction could be drawn in
the navy and that the crew would have
to be taken as it came.
The committee will accept this decis-
ion, but will change the programme. 1t
had been arranged to invite a number
of residents of New Orleans to the din
ner and some addresses were to have
been made there. This plan has been
abandoned, as the committee will not
ask any one to eat with negroes. The
crew alone will be at the dinner and
there will be no speeches. The contract
for the banquet, strange to say, has
been awarded to a hotel which has
not having a negro in it's employ, not
a DOrter.

PORTRAIT DEWEY.
Vermont to Have the First Pictuer
Painted by an American Artist.

New York, May 26-Unless some I'M
fOreseen circumstance intervenes the
state of Vermont is to be honored with
the first portrait of Admiral Dewey
painted by an American artist on
American soil.
Thomas w. Wood has received the
commission. and Immediately after the
admiral of the navy has been welcomed
in the harbor of New York he will pose
for picture, which, when finished,
promises to remain in history as ia
nous as that of Farragut on the Hart
ford. The artist is a fellow citizen of
Admiral Dewey. Both were born in
Montpelier, VT. The neighborliness of
the families was such that when Mr..
Woods reputation as a portrait painter
became established he was commission
ed to paint a picture of Dr. Dewey,
father of the admiral. That was in Oc-
tober 1885, and the painting is hang
ing today in the office of Charles Dew
ey. the admirars brother. Thus it came
about that Mr.. Wood suggested to him
self the timeliness of putting on can
vas the face of the man who won such
a great victory and told of it so unpre
tentiously that he at once became the
idol of the American people.

For a Murder He Did Not
Commit.

Frankfort, Ky, May 26-Enos Barnes,
coIored, is today free man after hav-
ing served more than ten years i'm
prisonment for crime he did not COM
NIT. He was convicted of the murder
of Stephen Boyd in January, 1889. Now
DR.. E. P. Wheeler, a physician of Mays
vile, has made an affidavit in which he
says that the real murderer was Will
liam O'Brien, a white man, at the time
a member of a well-to-do family.
DR.. Wheeler says that OBrien con-
fessed to him on his deathbed about two
years ago, and that he has since kept
the confession secret out of regard for
O'Brien's family. He did not think
that Barnes should suffer further i'm
prisonment, and could not longer with
hold his statement. On this affidavit
