phatically by an experiment conducted
at the Utah station. Parts Of an orchard
were seeded to alfalfa, timothy clover
and mixture Of timothy and clover
soon after the trees were set, and other
parts were cultivated, all being irri-
gated alike. Over half of the trees in
the grass plats died and were reset
twice. while the cultivated trees lived
and grew well 1t is not to be expected
that growing grass in young orchards
Is always as injurious as it proved TO be
at the Utah station. yet the reported
experiences of fruit growers and expert
mentors everywhere show the impor-
lance of carefully cultivating young or
chaEds Even in climate as moist as
that of England grass proves very detri-
mental to young trees. Notwithstand-
ing all this it must not be understood
that clean cultivation is best in all cases.

Men stenographers are scarce every
where, SO scarce in fact that when an
opportunity is offered to secure govern
ment positions there is often only a single
candidate to take the examinations.
notwithstanding that there is a con-
tinued demand for male shorthand writers,
the number OF young men who acquire
knowledge of the profession is surpris-
ingly small and it is with difficulty that
the various schools are able to comply
with requests for help from the different
business houses and Offices. The young
women have not been slow to avail them
selves OF the wide field of employment
which has been opened with the growing
necessity of stenographers, while men for
whom positions have many more advan-
tages have not awakened to the privileges
to - gained by entering certain offices
and business houses.
I'VE can't understand why more Young
men don't take up stenography and type
writing said Miss Mary T.. Beai, prin-
c1pai of the shorthand department of the
Bangor business college to reporter re.
Gently. I'VE have applications contin-
ually, and only snort time ago three
business firms were in search OF male
stenographer at about the same time, and
they were supplied only after consider
able advertising and long waiting.
There are many branches of business
which make the employment of man
necessity as in railroading, law work,
Wholesale houses and in general report
ing. The demand is always greater than
the supply, for it is difficult to find a
thoroughly competent man stenographer
in this State.
at is plain that the best class OF edu-
Gated young men have not yet awakened
to the Importance of gaining a mastery
OF shorthand. They ought to realize that
by conducting the correspondence Of
firm one can quickly gain knowledge
of the business, and it has very often
proved stepping stone to higher positions
OF trust and responsibility. This is par
ticularly true OF railroad and express
officials and prominent attorneys, hum
dreds of whom became familiar with the
business by means of shorthand. BAN

PRESENT-DAY THOUGHTS.
BY O. aRosvENoR DAVE.

The New Man as a Toiler- He sees that
the primal forces OF the world are all
against a man; that the chills of winter
benumb him; that tn Q heats OF summer
enervate him; that the hills impede his
progress; that the earthquakes cast down
his effort and that time brings him to
naught It is clear to him, therefore, that
whatever this world has gained in any
direction is the outcome OF strenuous
exertion.
He sees in the complicated world around
him with its factories and its farms, its
cities and its homes the result of human
thought translated into human effort
From the humblest shack to the loftiest
building, and from the organization of
the simplest farm to that of the most pro-
gressiee and complicated modern city
some ones thought on lined the thing
before it Was and some one 5 effort made it
to be. Thus to him thought transformed
into effort the greatest power in the world !;
thought followed by no effort is fruitless;
effort preceded by no thought is waste.

with his whole heart. tie sees further
more that as the many drops OF water
make the rolling sea, SO this Vas, world Is
moulded and conquered by man, Is what
it is because the iaho. of one Is aided by
the labor of another and the effort of one
generation Is carried on to greater per-
lection by the generations that follow.
He, therefore, does not honor labor that
thinks only of itself and that fails to rec
ognize it, cooperation vita all that are,
have been and are to be.
Viewing things in this way, he sees 20
disgrace IN any form of toll that helps on
the world. The man who Yields the hoe
becomes TO him fully as honorable a the
man who thinks the thought that gives
the hoe employment. To him all men are
honorable who do honorable work wher
ever they are cast; to him all men are dis
honorable who think only OF gain for
themselves, no matter what happens TO
others.
Yet at the same time he sees great law
at work which undoes the seltishness of
the world and makes it, Notwithstanding
its OWN blindness and evil, help on the
work OF the whole; for even the unruly
and the thieving have themselves teen the

cause for much that is organized and
orderly and law a hiding In the world

cause for much that is organized and
orderly and law "a bidding In the world.
Therefore the new man as a toiler,
solaces himself in the midst OF his own
perplexities and hardships, with the
thought that all works ultimately work
togeth for good to this great work a day
world; the works OF the grasping them
| selves being the source of effort on the
| part of others, to see that the grasping is
forced to surrender up its good to the
great human family. The new man above
| all things, is constantly hopeful, whether
he toll with his head directed hand, or his
| head alone, directing other hands.
The new man as toiler allows himself
no depression at seeing things go SEEM
ingly wrong. for he knows that sooner or
later, just as in the past, the restless up
ward movement OF this wondrous human
race viii keep ON righ.ing wrongs, even
though it may not be in his tile span of
time This hopefulness of his does not
prevent him from striving to bring i'm
provement in his day, but it does save him
from that restless rafting around that is
the very undoing OF successful effort, and
it does impart to him the quiet of spirit
which increases a mans power. He even
rejoices at being awake to the fact that
things i'll his day are not all that they
ought to be- for in those very defects he
discovers reason for his own being and
fer his own working; and he is glad.
The aew man as a toiler sees that the
most miserable of all men are those who
have no cause for exertion and who live off
the aeeumulations of a generation better
than they. He commiserates parasites for
they know none of the independence that
comes from tolls and triumphs, from re-
buffs and rebounds. He sees their type in
the drones of hive, living off the honey
of others; and for them his only hope is
ttat in performing their peculiar function
they may perchance call forth a generation
of workers like himself. Yet he is not
Blind 10 the fact taat fortune seems some
times to east everything before one and
only husks before another. Yet these
things trouble him but little For he
knows, first, that the proportion who sue
coed without effort are so few that they
need not be considered in his calculation,
and second, that there is no success 50
sweet as the success that is deserved
The new man as Il toier d0es not repine
at -et backs. These make him think
cleare-, work harder and rise higher; for
be takes them with cheerful good grace,
recognizes in them his likeness to the
wnrli's hard Nay forward, and 10 makes
of his failures stepping stones to success,

FIVE KILLED IN STREET DUEL.
Horrible Tragedy Enacted In sssas Of
Hot sprlnEa. Ark.


A special from Hot Springs, Ark,
says; Five men are dead "A a result of
a horrible street duel which occurred
at $50 o'clock Thursday aiterkoon
between some Of the most prominent
men identified with local politics. The
affair is the outgrowth Of the campaign
Tor city Offices, which has been grow
ing hotter and hotter each day for sew
eral weeks. The dead are:
Thomas @, Toler, chief of police;
Thomas Goslee, sergeant Of police:
James d. Hart, city detective; Louis
Hinkle, a delivery driver; john o.
Williams, son of the sheriff of Garland
county.
The wounded are: Edward Spears,
deputy sheriff, shot through the neck;
probably fatally.
As sequel to a street duel between
Goslee, on one side, and Sheriff r. l..
Williams and his son, John o. Will
liams, on the other, a bloody riot oe-
Cured. Five men lay dead upon-the
sidewalk when the smoke cleared
away.
1t was the most horrible affair in the
history of Hot Springs. The memora-
BILE Flynn-Doran riot of 1884 did not
compare to it in its terrible results.
1t was a bloody termination to the
first ARRAY earlier in the evening, in
which Goslee and the Williams par.
ticipated A portion Of the police
faction, headed by the chief, and a
portion of the Williams faction met On
the sidewalk in front of Lemp's beer
depot and the furious firing began.
Pandemonium reigned for an hour,
and crowds of citizens and visitors
rushed up and down the streets.
When a stir occurred stampedes would
take place at once. Finally Constable
Samuel Tate and Deputy Archer sue
ceeded in quelling the excitement to
some extent, and cleared the street in
the vicinity of the awful scene. q
big freight wagon was brought up and
the bodies were loaded in it and taken
to Gross's undertaking establishment.
Citizens of Hot Springs are terribly
aroused over the affair, and are deter
mined to maintain the peace. 1t is
said that the governor will be asked
to remove Sheriff Williams, Temporal
rily at least, and appoint some other
man to act in that capacity.
Judge Bedding was sworn in az
chief of police Thursday night, and
after citizens meeting, appointed
$50 special officers, who patrolled all
parts of the city.

One lesson of the war with Spain,
not to be forgotten in a hurry, is the
alarm that was felt along the Atlantic
coast at the first outbreak of HOSTILE
Ties lest a feet Of the enemy might
make daring and costly dash into
some exposed port. The elaborate
plan Of coast defenses is even now far
from finished, althoughit is estimated
that $40, 600, 600 have been expended
upon Notifications within the past four
years. The work thus we'll begun
should be vigorously prosecuted,
1t is the cheapest form of insurance to
the enormous wealth of our coast har-
bOrs and cities. The continuance of
this preparation should be accompan-
Ied by dilligent instruction OF the ar.

A Washington dispatch says: The
first news Of the signature Of the peace
treaty by the queen regent of Spain
was conveyed to Secretary Hay and
the officials of the administration
through the exclusive bulletin of the
Associated Press.
The secretary was naturally graft
fed at the action which he had expect
ed would follow the course of the cor
tes. The action makes it possible to
exchange the notifications and thus
complete the treaty within the time
set by the treaty itself as the maxi
mum. The protocol was signed Au-
gust 18th last at the white house by
the president and Ambassador Cam
bon. December Goth the treaty was
signed at Paris by the commissioners.
February 9th it was ratified by the
United States senate, after a memoir
able struggle; February 10th the presi-
dent gave it his signature and now,
seven months and four days after the
signing of the protocol, the Spanish
queen regent gave her formal assent
and signature.
Official news of the action at Madrid
was not conveyed to the state depart
ment before the close of the depart
ment for the day. NJ. Cambon called
at the department about ten minutes
to o'clock Friday and in the absence
OF Secretary Hay called upon Assist
ant Secretary Hill. He told the latter
that he believed the treaty had been
signed. It seems now probable that
to the ambassador will be confided
the honor Of closing up the task which
he set about seven months ago of
bringing two great nations then at
war to state of peace.
Usually the rule is for a nation sit
uated as is Spain to send special en-
voy charged with the duty of ex-
changing the notifications. In this
case the wish of the United States gov
eminent will be consulted and there is
little doubt in view of the kindly re-
gard entertained for the ambassador
by the president that he will elect to
have M. Cambon act for the last time
as the representative of the Spanish
government and make the exchange.
1t is presumed that the Spanish gov
eminent is DESTROYS to hasten the COM
plete restoration of peace and this
government is certainly equally anx-
ious, so that if time can be saved by ac-
cepting the services of the ambassador
here instead of awaiting the selection
and coming of one from Madrid, that
course is likely to be pursued.

BROOKE AND GOMEZ CONFER.

Governor General Is Authorized to Dis

A dispatch from Havana says: Gen
eral Gomez has decided to proceed
with the plans agreed upon for dis
tributing the So, 600, 900 to the Cuban
troops, on disbanding, as though the
military assembly did not exist. He
conferred for two hours Wedn esday
with Governor General Brooke regard
ing the details.
General Brooke asked the Washing
ton officials several days ago whether in
case he dissolved the assembly his
action would be approved. The cabled
reply authorized him to dissolve that
body, if, in his judgment, such an act
was necessary. He hopes the assem-
bly, will soon cease of its own accord
to hold it's sessions, but should ses-
sions disquieting to the public mind
continue, he will intervene.

monte the complex elements of race,
religion, custom aud industry in
all these islands, thus enabling

partment that it will probably enforce
the quarantine laws after April first.
As the war department is especially

and the first of April

morning that the department had Sc
cured two extra transports from the
Ward line and that they hoped to get
all the volunteers out of Cuba by the
10th of April at least.
General Corbin also stated that the
department is as anxious to prevent
any transportation of disease into the
south as the souths quarantine Off
GERS, but that it will be very danger
GUS to be forced to carry troops to
Camp Meade either during this month
or the month of April.
Besides, if mustered out at Camp
Meade blankets and overcoats will be
required, and these will all have to
come out of the soldiers pay. For
ais reason the department has put
Iorth strenuous efforts to have all vol
unteers brought back by April LIST.

attached to my visit. I did not know
that my coming would attract any at
tention at this time. I did not stop
at Townsville. My stay will be for a
few days. There is no one in the
party except my daughter. There is
not to be a gathering of men promi-
