The LAWS DELAY
History OF an Old Time

Plaintiff secomrs one OF

In the equity case entitled Mary g.

r. Hassinger. Annie II. Turton and
Henrietta +. Ross have filed a motion
20 dismiss the bill OF complaint for the
want of prosecution of the same and
on the further ground that the plain
tiffs are guilty OF laches for failing to
comply with the ruling OF the Supreme
Court by making Douglas X. Brown 4
party defendant.
This case is pretty nearly eight years
old. II was originally entitled the

tiffs. He afterwards discovered. upon
the affidavit of one Kanaina. an old
man and his foster father. that he
should not have been alleged as one
of the heirs but as the sole heir to
the property involved. a valuable one
on Beretania street. So. on his coming
of age, he asked TO have a day in
court, which request after repeated de-
cisions of the Circuit and Supreme
Courts was granted. and the case now
hinges on whether he is the sole heir

property or only as one of them in

would touch upon some family his

In the meantime young Brown. hav-

The American missionary steamer

turning home some seven months
ahead of time on account of the illness
of Mrs. Mary Logan. a missionary from
Micronesia. who was brought here for
treatment. Capt. Garland reports ar
irving at Ruk in fifteen days from Ho-
nolulu. whence the Morning Star
sailed on April eth. On her return pas
sage she was fifty-siX days. about the
longest on record. having experienced
Gains nearly the whole way.
There is peace in the Carolines not
withstanding the SpanishAmerican
war and the Morning Star was cordial
" greeted. The teachers on Kusaie are
we'll and the schools at Ruk are meet
ing with success.
Besides Mrs. Logan the passengers
on the Morning Star are Capt. and Mrs
G.. |. Foster. and their daughter Marion
and Kileon. a native, teachers in the
Ruk schools for the past three years.
The Morning Star touched at the
islands of Kusaie. Ponape and Ruk
Capt. Garland states that he will re-
turn to Micronesia in about three
weeks.
The Morning Star is ut Brewer :

stream tomorrow.

SCORE ANOTHER SUCCESS.
Rebekah Entertainment at Prog
reSS Hall "A Delightful Affair.

The musicale and dance given last
night at Progress hall was a distinct
success. The program was not long.
but every number was we'll rendered.
The Amateur Orchestra, under the
leadership of Wray Taylor. acquitted
itself in its usual excellent manner. DR..
Winslow has a pleasant voice and he
received a merited encore. Perhaps
the gem of the evening was the recita-
ton by Mrs. DR.. Humphris. She is
possessed of rare elocutionary talent
and her hearers were delighted. The
solo by Mrs. Bosworth received hearty
applause. Mr.. Walton, who was down
for a recitation, was absent. but his
place on the program was we'll filled
by Chas. Frazier in an impromptu
mandolin selection. f.. III. Onley acted
as accompanist.
Dancing was then INDUCED in till a
late hour. The ladies served refresh
ments with true Rebekah hospitality.

HORTICULTURE
LYR VASE EFFECTIVE.

In his experience with q can of con.
centrated lye (American brandt to five
of water, J. RI. Kirkpatrick,
Custer, Washington, says it has
been very satisfactory. Add a little
lime and it will enable the operator to
see when all the limbs are sprayed. He
says:
If the caterpillar eggs are we'll
sprayed with it, the rings will loosen
from the limb while you are spraying
the tree. The ring will look as though
the worms were Matched and gone.
This wash is sure death to all bark lice

years or younger. A pound to five
gallons of water will clean your old
trees.
If you doubt the efficacy of this
wash, make a little and try it on a few
limbs 0 and be convinced.
The merits of this wash are: 1 1t is
cheap. 2 1t is easily made 8 1t is
easily applied. 4 1t does it's work in
a few minutes, and is entirely safe for
the trees.
You can make a pair of rubber NIT
tens to protect your hands from the
lye.
Trim your trees first; then be sure
to spray all that is left on the tree.
The spraying must be done before
the buds swell.

rHE DAIRY.
WHOSE ADVICE SHOULD VIZ
FOLLOW

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
In dairying, as ia everything else.
there are at the present time, g multi
tude Of advisers. Take some Of our
go called leading dairy papers and read
them carefully a few months and the
chances are that one will find many
contradictions in the treatment Of the
same subject. Not infre quently such
contradictions will be fund in tt g
same issue of those %journale. What ;
wroUg2 Nothing at all. The gentle
man who wrote, il they are practical
dairymen, are giving the public the
benz 5 of their experience along the
various lines they are folio wing. This
explanation holds good in every branch
OF farm labor, and The result is rather
mystif gipg to the man who is trying
his best to get to the front by follow
ing the advice OF some one else, instaad
of making the observations upon his
own account.
What snail we do. then, in view OF
this multiplicity of advice7 Well, my
answer to this Question is thin K for
yourself" 1t is a grand good thing to
know all the methods which have been
successfully tried by dairymen in vari,
GUS parts OF the country these ma be
made helpful; but he must, after all,
adopt the plan which in his opini n
will be most apt to bring success
To illustrate what I mean: l have
COW which by no means comes up to 10
standard set by some men for the ideal
COW. In appearance she falls far short
of measuring up to the stature Of the
typical creature. But I know that that
old COW is all right as a producer of
good milk and plenty Of it. Shall I in
the face of thai knowledge, sell NV
good old COW, just because she hepnons
to be a scrubs" 1t would be a foolish
man who would say Yes" to this ones
ton.
Just so all along the line. We n,st
try for ourselves. Read, but think
too. Take advice of reliable men thar
act according to the dictates Of vo,7r
own Judgment. 1t might be pon,1Iar
to milk into q tin sieve, but it would
not be very profitable. What NIGH
seem wise and beet to one man mi9ht
not do at all for another. There r

butter products. poultry, etc. Pros
perity came to the Northwest through
the diversiacation of interests on the
farm. I know of no other way through
which it can come to the South. 1t
seems to me that the necessities OF the
occasion are up to the intelligent land
owner. He should inform himself on
these lines. He should have done It
years ago. The sciences which relate
to agriculture will serve him III good
stead, while his diploma from a liter
ary institution may be worth very lit

ity to be taken into account. Every
man must in the end make decisions
for himself.
A man of positive character came to
me for advice. After telling him what
I would do, / asked:
"Why do you come to me for ad-
vice. You are a man who usually does
his own thinking"
"WeD, I'll tell you," he replied, 81
am going to get advice from all the
level headed men I can, and then I'm
going to do as I have a mind to-"
But who Can tell what influence the
advice this man received had upon his
decision.
So I say: Rad, study, talk, then
act for yourself.

BENEFITS OF TIE ORCHARD.

Fruit culture not only adds greatly
to the material advancement OF a com
munity by converting idle, and in
many instances otherwise useless
ground, into productive orchards and
thus increasing the volume OF thecom
munity's income, says an exchange,
but the introduction Of orchard cul
ture adds greatly to the social up build
ing Of the people, the promotion OF
temperance and education and the
comfort and pleasure Of living.
People who are amply supplied with
good ripe fruits and use Il EN- Discreet
ly not only enjoy better health, but
show decidedly less inclination to IN
t. x5cating drinks and heavy animal
foods than those living in lees favored
locations.
The farmer who plants an orchard
not only has the pleasure of watchiT G
the growth of his labor, en- oying the
results OF his labor, enjoying the re
suits Of his toll in the way OF a supply
of good things for the en- j1yment of Biz
family and friends, but he can see his
children grow strong and healthy and
enter upon life free fro vicious tastes

Woman's "Suneranc d"

In 4 country town I'm Florida recently
there was an examination for applicants
for second grade teachers certificates IN
colored school one Of the questions
asked for a brief expression of the app.i-
cants opinion of female suffrage" A
young co0red woman filed her blank
with an essay on Female Suffrage" 1t
begins: In regard 10 female suffrage
there are thousands Of women who suf-
fer early and also daily, and l am COM
PEELED 10 say that the greater part Of
their SUFFRAGE is brought by themselves
The writer then specifies the various
causes of female suffrage Women eat
too rapidly have their meals too irregu-
larly, expose themselves too much do
not have proper exercise or clothing.
ANY one of these will bring about fe-
male suffrage" She thinks they would
be stronger If they regarded the laws OF
health. Their treatment to the physical
body only goes 10 show 10 them that
they are doing too much IL they would
only hear" And finally. Another great
cause of female suffrage is trying 20
keep 10 with every style or fashion that
comes about. weather it agrees with our
health or not, and that u.s. indeed q
poor way 20 take care of the health"
This young colored woman has written
an essay on female SUFFRAGE" that goes
to the point She knows little about tho
coming woman. but much about the pre-
sent woman. 10 would probably appall
her 10 learn that the Illinois Federation
Of Womens Clubs at its forthcoming
three days session I'm Quincy will discuss
education. art esthetics. literature. legis-
iation, charity politics and economies.
but not one Of the phases of SUFFRAGE"
which she holds of so much Importance.
And yet this black untutored child OF
nature in her hard. common sense way.
has given them points in suffrage"
which. II they only observe them. would
be infinitely more beneficial 10 them than
suffrage" II is to be hoped she passed
examination and got her school and
that she will be permitted TO teach "suf-
feraage." That kind Of school teacher IS
greatly needed.
