S0USA AT THE EXPO.
Famous BandmRstsr's First Appear
ancs Since His European Tour.

The inim;table John Philip Sousa and
his wonderful band, fresh from tn
umphznt tour OF Europe, including the
Paris Exposition, where it scored the
most remarkable hit ever made by an
American musical organization abroad,
will be the special sttraotion OF the
Pittsburg Exposition next week. Ihs
spening concert, Monday afternoon,
Sept "a, will be the first that the band
has given since its return to America,
and it is safe to assume that It will re-
ceiye a royal welcome from It's Western
Pennsylvania friends.
In December last Commissioner Gen
eral Peck, OF the United States COM
mission to the Paris Exposition, ap-
pointed Sousa and his band as the
official American band at the great
French Exposition. Nothing could
surpass the reception accorded to
the organization. Its catchy American
music. particularly the compositions OF
its leader, instantly caught the popular
fancy and became the rage OF Paris.
French words were set TO the airs OF the
band, and special tidbits were hummed
IN the shops and cafes and in the street.

CHINA.

AT Washington, Thursday, there were
several unanswered notes from foreign
Governments on the desk of the Secy OF
State
On Friday our government sent
negative answer to Germany's proposal
that there could be no peace in China
until the leaders of the Boxers were
punished, and also answered the Rus
sian note.
Russia was informed that theU. S.will
withdraw all of its troops, not only from
Pekin, but from China, except an ample
guard for Minister Conger and his lega-
ton. Germany is informed that punish
ment for the Boxer leaders is an essent-
ial to permanent peace, but the United
States cannot subscribe to the principle
of execution without trial, or consent to
the demand that punishment must be
antecedent to negotiations. China IS
informed of the readiness of the United
States to take up the questions OF repa-
ration, indemnity and future guarantees
as soon as other Powers are prepared 10
ioin in them or decide that they cannot
join.
Sly more of our war vessels were
ordered prepared fer service IN Cninese
waters. and these will make Admiral
Remey's force there, second only 10
that of Japan.
The accounts of Russian barbarltles
in their frontier have been confirmed.
The story is that the whole Chinese
population of Blagovestschensk number
ing about five thousand persons, were
driven into the Amur River, which at
that point is mile wide. They were,
it is said, forced to make the attempt 10
cross over to the Chinese side. IT there
were any of them who could swim
mile, which is unlikely, such may have
ESCAPED, but all the others lost their
lives, as Russians stood along the banks
and clubbed or shot OF pushed back into
the water all who attempted to land
without having made the crossing.
This horrible act of barbarity, for
which it would be hard to find paral-
lei. is said to have been committed under
the direct and explicit orders OF the
Russian authorities, and is in keeping
with the atrocities said to have been
committed on the march from Tien-Tsin
to Pekin, in which the Russians are
said to have attained bad preeml-
nence.
Those stories of all kinds of wanton
savagery, of the butchery of women,
children and defenseless old men, of the
wholesale plunder and malicious de-
struction of private property, were
afterwards declared to have been much
overstated, and very likely they were
but there is no doubt that many inde-
fensible acts of rapine and violence were
committed and that the rules which
are designed to mitigate the horrors of
war were violated in manner which
would not have been tolerated by the
officers in command had people of their
own race been the sufferers.
On Tuesday instructions were cabled
to Gen. Chaffee at Pekin to reduce the
American forces in China to the pro-
portions of legation guard.
About /, 400 American soldiers will be
left in Pekin under command of Gen.
Chaffee They will consist of a regi-
ment of infantry, four troops of cavalry
and battery of light artillery

Prom Paris, the band went to Ber-
lin. where it took the Germans by storm.
In Belgium it met with the same over
whelming success, the Academy OF
Arts. Science and Literature in Hahn
ault, conferring upon Sousa grand
diploma OF honor, and the decoration OF
artistic merit Of the first class. Similar
triumphs were scored in Frankfurt, Mu-
Mich. Hamburg, Cologne, Dresden and
Leipsic. Everywhere the perfect pre-
cision and discipline, the refined en-
semble and the rich tonal quality OF the
band created a sensation.
On Sept. 1, the band sailed from Eu-
rope on the American Liner St. Louis,
receiving an ovation on its departure.
Its arrival at New York a week later
was the occasion OF one OF the most
memorable scenes ever enacted at a
steamer pier As the mammoth vessel
steamed up the bay the band occupied
the center OF the promenade deck for
ward. Three large silk flags, the Stars
and Stripes, presented by the French
exhibitors at the Paris Exposition; the
French flag, a testimonial to the band
from the people Of Paris and the official
flag of the city of Frankfurt, were un-
furled. The band played The Star
Stripes Forever" and other patriotic
airs, while the passengers gathered about
and cheered So remarkable was the en-
thusiasm aroused by the scene both on
the boat and on shore that the event at
tracted national attention. Indeed, the
entire tour of the band was regarded
both in America and abroad as matter
of international Importance.
At the close Of next week Sousa and
his band will go East for an engagement
of two weeks, returning to the Exposi-
ton on Oct. Is. and remaining until the
end Of the season.
The special attractions. including the
Mexican village. Jim Key, the wonderful
educated horse; the crystal Maze; "A
Day in the Alps; the Cabaret de la
Mort and the Cinematograph pictures of
the Paris Exposition have pleased thou
sands daily. The Philadelphia CONNER
cial Museum exhibit has proved to he a
most attractive educational feature.
New attractions include two windmills
in operation, the oldest piano in America,
the model of the great ocean greyhound,
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, and a
silk mill in constant operation. Visitors
may also get a stencil of their name,
made on the linotype machine.

STRAWB BERRIE0.
sare Which Ohio Experts GIVE IN
Late Summer and Autumn.


One of the best berry growers ID
Ohio said to me short time ago; The
care given to strawberries in August
and September has much TO do with
their productiveness the following sea-
son. II the plants become well anchor
ed in rich soil by an abundance OF
roots, they are sure 10 produce nice
berries the next season unFSs the
weather conditions of the following
spring are very unfavoraole-" ThieAs
exactly my experience.
One of the best growers for the Ak
ron market who gardens upon a very
retentive clay subsoils between the
rows in September. He uses ordinary
mole plow or subson litter between the
rows, running it not less than u inches
deep. The only surface evidence of the
work is the narrow mark where the
shank passes, but the hard clay sub
soil is lifted and disturbed and q lot
of room made for water to stand dur
ing the winter and slowly diffuse
through the soil. The surface IS not
worked or disturbed in any way to
pack the soil, and the result Is that
any ordinary rain at once settles into
the subsoil instead of running off the
surface. Where the clear space is two
feet wide the mole plow can be run
twice in a row. To prevent trampling
the plant rows the horses should be
hitched tandem or else a long double
tree used, the former being best.
Nothing but mole plow will accom-
plish what is desired, that of lifting
and breaking the subsoil without dis
turbing the surface or mangling roots.
The iron work of a mole plow is much
like the long shanked last seen in shoe
stores for riveting pegs. The shank Is
fastened to a straight beam Of wood
with handles like u shovel plow, and
plow wheels fore and aft gauge the
depth.
Another thing which may be done
from now to the last of September Is to
see to it that the matted rows do not
get too broad The best berries are
grown upon rows not more than 16
inches wide, and all beyond that Is
damage If plants are needed, the
ground should not be cultivated so as
to disturb the runner tips which natu-
rally distribute themselves over the
row space. If berries mainly are want
ed. then all runners beyond the best
width should be removed promptly
through September and October.-Ohio

what weeds Do In Corn Culture.

Weeds consume plant food. If our
soils were filled with an abundance Of
available plant food in sufficient guam
tity for the growth of both corn and
weeds, there would be no need of such
a constant warfare against the latter.
The necessity for commercial ferti-
lizers is evidence enough that our soils
do not contain even plant food enough
for the growing of corn to maturity.
Weeds keep sunlight and warmth
from the soil. They shade the ground
and keep the soil cool.
Weeds are great consumers Of wa
ter. insufficient moisture in the soil
is often the only cause of small corn
crop. An abundance of water in the
soil is necessary for the production of
a maximum crop. If there Is an In
sufficient amount of water in the soil,
the crop will be short. The more weeds
in Il field the larger the amount of wa
ter consumed.-New Hampshire Sta
ton
