arrested fit Il M. E. Conference.

The Dodgeville Sun of last week
gives an interesting account of "a
Conference Hodoo" 1t appears that
for a number of years an umbrella
member has pestered the M. +. Con-
ference held at Racine, Green Bay,
Oshkosh and other places.
His coming to the conference has
come to be dread by the members
Of the church. He has been arrested
several times, paid his fines and prom
ised not to bother again. but as the
year rolls around he seems TO forget
his former experience and again goes
to the conference only to make a rep
itition of his former performance. AT
each conference where he has attend
ed he would create a sensation by ris-
ing during some session of the con
ference and attempting to exhort OF
pray or assume leadership of the ser
vice. His most recent fine was 81:
at Waukesha.

MARK TWAIN contributes to the Octo-

forth most foreibly. His statement

The present lighting as poor as 1t is,
costs us $3.50 to 800 and it only runs
few months out of a year, while

several are talking of using it fol

Admiral Dewey has elected to ac-
cept a home in Washington. already
constructed, instead OF having one
built for his occupation. In accord
ance with the invitation of the COM
mittee which has had in charge the
Dewey home work, ne called at the
office of acting Secretary Allen in the
navy department, at Il o'clock Oct. g.,
to indicate his preferences in the
matter of a residence. He frankly eX-
pressed his qualification at the tender
which he Immediately accepted. He
said had the proposed home been the
gift of few wealthy men, he should
feel indisposed to accept it. But he
noted that the fund had over $4,000
subscribers, indicating that the home
was to be the gift Of the American
people, and as such he would accept
it with as much pleasure as he had
the sword bestowed upon him by Con-
gress. He wanted the house at the
earliest possible moment, so that he
might Ego in and hang up his hat at
once as he put it. OF course that
precuded the idea of erecting a house
to meet his special needs. He ex-
pressed his ideas as to the character
of the home he desires, and asked that
the house be modest enough in APP
pointments and cost to permit of the
retention of a sufficient sum of money
from the purchase fund to defray the
expense Diminishing it.
The Admiral is going to New York
tonight or tomorrow, and will stop
over if he can to see the yacht race
on his way to Shelburne Farms, Yer
mont. He expects to return TO
Washington in the course Of week.
Meanwhile, the house committee,
having invited written proposals of
properties, will GO through the list
and hope to be able to present to the
admiral on his return as many as half
a dozen available houses from which
he may make a personal selection.
The fund at the disposal Of the com
mittee now amounts TO about $50, 600.

II WAS A VERY CLOSE GAME
fl Large Crowd fit Livingston Witness the
Games and Other fimusCmcntS.

The Field Day at Livingston under
the management of the Modern Wood
man was we'll attended. In the morn
ing a procession was formed in front
of the Woodman Hall and, headed by
the Montfort band, marched to the
grounds. There was speaking and
singing. The speaker of the day was
Judge Goodsell, who gave good
speech and the crowd was well salts
fled. In the Oratorical contest there
were only two participants, Mr.. Ivy
man of Lancaster and Miss Griswold
of Platteville, which was won by the
former.
In the afternoon there was base
ball game between Highland and Lin
den. Highland won by score of
to 3. The game was closely contest
ed from beginning to the end, and up
to about the last inning the score
stood to in Highlands favor.
Directly after the ball game the
football teams OF the Plattevile Nor
NAL and the Lancaster High School
prepared for game. In the first half
Platteville kicked off to Lancaster,
got the ball and worked it up the field
for about fifteen yards where they
lost it on downs. Then for the rest
of the game the ball was continually
changing from one team to the other.
till near the end of the half when Lam
caster had the ball and on its second
down the referee called it the third
and gave the ball to Platteville.
(Most people claim Lancaster made
their live yards.) Platteville then
worked the ball over the line by short
gains. Beck kicked goal making the
score to 0. Lancaster then kicked
off and in about two minutes time
was called with the ball near the cen
ter of the field. In the second half
Lancaster kicked off to Platteville and
from the beginning of the half to the
end the bail was carried from one end
of the field to the other and when
time was called it was about 40 yards
from the Lancaster goal.
The game as whole was a remark
ably clean one and close y contested.
The Platteville team was heavier and
had the most strength but Lancaster
played the snappiest ball, had better
interference and were better on max
ing end runs. Bidwell made the
longest run of the game while most of
the gains of Platteville were made by
Watson.

When TO Pick an fnpIe.

Ii makes good deal Of difference
when an apple is picked, whether be-
fore it has attained its full develop
ment, or at maturity, or when it is
fully ripe. Many horticulturists
make a distinction between maturity
and ripeness of an apple.
An apple is mature, according to
their ideas, when it has obtained lis
full size and when its seeds have
turned black. An apple is ripe when
it has obtained its proper color, its
best flavor and its most desirable mel
lowness. Tne best time to pick an
apple is at its maturity. If picked
then it will ripen afterward as well as
on the tree, but if it is picked before
it is mature it will never ripen; it
will not wilt and remain of the same
color as when picked. but will not
gain in either flavor or texture. III
allowed to ripen on the tree it is like
~ to hang too long and looses in keep
ing quality, though apples differ
greatly in this respect
The early maturing varieties must
be picked early and placed where
they will be protected from the ee-
ments. Even such apples as the
Grimes Golden. if picked as soon as
mature, will keep for months, but if
left on the tree till fully ripe will
keep but few weeks. Ii they are
left on the tree beyond ripeness they
will, to use q common expression,
''go TO peices" and fall off
Apples like the Ben Davis and Will
low Twig need to be gathered as late
as possible, but even then it will be
at maturity. Such apples take a
long season in which to mature, and
in the more northern parts of Illinois
and Indiana the Ben Davis hardly
