A TIE GAME.
The Barre Defenders Still Remain
Unvanquished.

The Barre Defenders organized their
ball team this year not with the
hope or expectation that they could
make any reputation for themselves
or win any great number of games,
but they have surprised themselves
and awakened a great deal of admira-
tion amongst the foot ball enthusiasts
of the city for their remarkable Prov
ess. The team is very light, but they
play football with the same kind of
spirit as that which has led old Yale
to victory so many times.
They have never yet been defeated
and do not intend to be this year,
although they stand out pluckily to
meet any or all comers on the grid
iron.
They played their second game with
Burlington High school Saturday
afternoon, and although the Granite
City Trotting park was not crowded
with people, there was goodly num-
ber of enthusiastic spectators to cheer
the home team on.
Neither side scored and it was an
exciting game from the first kick off
to the close.
The visitors were much heavier than
the Barre boys but could make no
headway with such men as \. Milne,
and Cole standing before them. Both
of these men played magnificent
defensive game, and the others were
not far behind them, while on the Of
fensive "Jimmy'' Dean was a whole
team in himself making several long
runs of forty and fifty yards.
There was some fumbling which
came at critical periods for the Barre
side, but mistakes are always apt to
happen and this was not the fault of
any individual player, but merely
showed slight weakness in team
work, which can be improved in no
other way than by time and hard
work.
They are to play Hardwick here on
Saturday and another weeks practice
will put them in fine shape to win an
other victory.

London, Oct. 23.-England is wild
over the great victory at Glencoe.
This battle shows that the Boer will
not stand when it comes to bayonet
charge. TO the immense glorification
of England, it is also proved that Irish
soldiers have no superiors in the Brit
ish army. They did the work, and
they suffered most, as the list of killed
and wounded shows. If the figures
are accurate, II officers killed and 20
wounded, out of total of 250 killed
and wounded, will stand as the rec
ord.
The government evidently knows
more than the country. 1t believes
that prevention is better than cure,
and it believes also that Russia is a
power that needs watching, particu-
larly on the Red sea.

CRABS IN WINTER QUARTERS.
Buried Deep in the Soft Mud of
Chesapeake Bay.


Chestertown, Md, March 6.-Crabs are
now in winter quarters, buried deep in the
soft mud in the deeper waters of Chesa-
peake Bay. In spite OF the fact that they
get no food during the long season of tor
por they are fattest and decidedly at their
best when caught in winter, possibly due
TO the fact that during this state of mac
tivity they do not wear away flesh by eX-
ercise.
phase of crab life little known is it's
manner of reproduction. Each female
crab becomes a victim TO her own pro-
geny. Under the broad, curiously shaped
apron on the under side of the female is
a pocket. in which may be found at the
proper period in summer a bunch or bali
OF eggs, numbering hundreds and possibly
well over thousand. The young hatch
very much as do the young of the spider.
AS soon as the tiny spider-like creatures
hatch they at once proceed TO attach
themselves to the mother crab at every
joint at which it is possible to suck the
life juice from the parent for their own
subsistence. The mother does not cease
to feed but finally the demands of her
young become greater than the forces of
nature can bear and her life is the forfeit.
Just how long the small crabs are thus
attached TO the mother no Chesapeake
Bay fisherman has ever had the patience
TO determine.
The life of the crab is two years. When
they are what is known as chambers"
they bury themselves in the mud the sec
ond winter and never come out again. AS
is we'll known to manay, crabs on grow
or increase in size when they shed or
slough off their shells At each shedding

PEACH-GRoWERs ANXIOUS.
Eastern Shore Crop believed to he
Failure.


Denton, Nd, March $50 many crit
icisms have been made about the peach
liar and fruit authorities have so often
gone astray in their predictions concern
in the condition of peach buds. that when
approached on the subject now even the
most reliable growers seem to give their
opinions reluctantly. And yet all are to-
gether in the opinion that the destruction
TO peaches is complete. This idea is en-
tertained by such prominent fruit growers
as John S. Barnhart, Jonathan W. Kerr,
John j. Rosa, Philip Cannon, John f.
Dawson, and Thomas W. Jones.
What has been said heretofore about the
decline of peach culture on the Eastern
Shore is a theory and not a fact. Other
crops like strawberries and tomatoes, have
been added because of the uncertainty of
the crop of peaches, but the area in peach
trees has not been diminished because OF
an abiding hope that next year" there
would be a crop. 1t can be urged with
some force that the same care is not taken
of the orchards formerly, and perhaps
less money in the way of fertilizers is
spent.
But the orchards are here, and the dis
appointment over the killing of that fruit
seems to be as keen as ever. 1t is safe 10
say that the circulating money this year
on the peninsula will be al least 1000. 900
less than it would have been with a fair
peach crop. 1t falls most severely. too. on
those who are least able to suf-
fer the loss, namely, the farm
er and the day laborer. How
much longer the orchards will remain i'll
the face of failure year after year cannot
be foretold but il is safe TO predict that
the same faith which has left them undis-
turbed this long will save them for at least
another year.
Previous 10 1881 there was a good crop
at least every two years, and with that
prospect it seemed possible to make money
from peaches. and on tnat assumption many
orchards were set out. But the proportion
has changed. much TO the annoyance and
loss of the grower. 1t is a matter of ex
perience that during the past sixteen years
not exceeding four crops have been rea aized.
With crop every four years it becomes
a losing game. and there is grave appre
hension that there has been a gradual
change in climatic conditions on the penin-
sula. which, if it continues, will practi-
cally cut off a revenue formerly consid-
erable.
Professor Johnson. OF the Maryland Ex-
pertinent Station. has sent out much en-
couragement about the gradual extinction
of yellows and possibilities of peach cult
ure on the peninsula. bur ii remains a per-
picking problem when there will come
peach year which is fully serious as was
| the question of yellows and San Jose scale.

LoRILLARD TO RACE HERE
