Ex-presidenr Blanco Dead.

Paris, July 29.-General Guzman
Blanco, late dictator of Venezuela, died
here today.
Guzuan Blanco established the first
Republic of Venezuela in 1870. As
president, he exercised absolute
authority, being virtually dictator.
He had a genius for organization and
money making, and under his admin
istration the cost OF government was
reduced, revenues increased, and the
wonderful mining and agricultural re-
sources of the country developed.
10 the constitution which Blanco
adopted from the United States, il
was stipulated that the President could
be elected to two consecutive terms.
He thus got rest from his labors every
four years and usually went TO Paris ss
Minister PleDipotentiary, until 1t was
line to take up the reins of government
again.
Banco's vanity was inordinate. AT
Caracas he had five different statues
of himself erected and on them was in-
scribed by his order: ITO That Illus
trious American, The Paci6cator and
Regeneration of Venezuela, General
Antonio Guzman Blanco." Blanco
was deposed in the peaceful revolution
of 1889, and went to Paris where he
lived in regal style and spent the time
in getting rid of some of the millions he
made while President. He leaves q
widow and nine children.

resigned. He never told Mr.. Jones, he de-
clares that he was opposed to the election Of
Senators by the people. He says he will vote

how he voted on former bills in the Senate
touching popular choice of Senators.

No RIGHT TO ANNOY THE PUBLIC -
The superior Court of Pennsylvania
yesterday handed down an opinion adj
verse to the Salvation Army, in which
the court maintains that the question
of religious freedom is not involved in
q case where the public peace is dis.
turbed. The matter came before the
court on an appeal of Joseph Garabad,
from Luzerne county courts. He is a
Salvation Army officer, and was arrest
ed and fined for beating a drum so as to
disturb the peace.
The court in its opinion says: IRE
gious liberty does not include the right
t. introduce and carry out every
scheme or purpose which persons see
fit to cisim as part of their religious
system"
1t held that the propriety Of the
practice of religious association or its
Judgment as TO tbs use of a drum as
part OF its services, has nothing to do
with the case. The streets, the court
said, belonged to the people, and the
fact that the defendants business was
lawful did not justify him in annoying
the public.

MONEY IN APPLEs.-We learn that
DR.. Boaz, of Covesville, Abemarle county
has sold his apple crop 10 S. A. Birch,
for $4,000.
The above item evidently refers to
the apple crop on the Boaz estate and
not to the individual orchard of DIR.
Boaz, as the latter gentleman only
plant d few acres and the trees have
been bearing but two years. In CON-
pany with DR.. Boaz, a representative of
the News, several months since, visited
the two principal orchards on the Boaz
estate and it was not only their judy
ment. but the opinion as we'll of every
one in that section, that there would be
only fair crop. Within 8 radius of
five miles of Covesville, many orchards
have been set out within the last few
years and on the Bosz estate alone
there is q half dozen young trees to
every one that is old enough to bear.
In that section it is impossible to buy
an acre of land that is suitable for fruit
growing. About FIVE years ago, the
Hammer estate, within two miles of
Covesville, was divided among the
heirs, some of whom put their portion
on the market. Mr.. John J. Boaz, a
merchant OF Covesville, purchased the
interest of one of the Hammer heirs for
$500 He has already planted six
thousand pippin and red apple trees on
it, and now values the place at four
times what he paid for it, Lynchburg
