Fruit growers say that many peach
buds on trees in the lowlands are frozen
especially the buds on the lower part
of the trees. There still remain on the
trees, howe ever, more than enough buds
to make good crop, The peaches
which grow on the lower limbs never
mature or color as nicely as those in
the top and growers do not consider the
freezing of the lower buds any loss.
The buds are in such condition that a
few days warm sun will cause them to
burst in full bloom.

A HOU E IN 91l INU
It Was Done on a Wager and the Winner
 Made $500

From the New York Herald.
 It was exactly twenty-five minutes to 6 o'clock in the evening when thrty-seven painters, all fully panoplied for work, made st descent on the home of Herbert Long, in Coney Island. At given word from a man who held a watch the men dashed at the building and instant later thirty-seven brushes were splashing paint on 1t.
 It was exactly six minutes after o'clock when the last painter threw down his brush Just ninety-one minutes had been consumed in the work of painting the house. Then Herbert Long took a wallet from his pocket counted out $500 in new, crisp bills and handed them to Augustus Oberland, a contracting painter, who had undertaken to do the job and succeeded. He had worked on a bet and won with ease, with twenty mine minutes to spare, for he had wagered the owner of the build- ing that he could paint it in less than two hours.
 Long and Oberland are very close friends. Long had not had his house painted in more than twenty years and Oberland was joking with him about 1t several days ago. Long stated that he

A ROYAL COWARD
Terror Stricken the Prince of Teck Fled
 from the Battle of Koorn Spruit
From a London Cable.

From a London Cable.
 At the cost of veteran generals good name justice to an entire army and the
 prince has so far been shielded from the
 disgrace he deserves.
 But it will not longer be possible to con
 ceaI the shameful part that Prince Adol
 phus of Teck, brother of the Duchess of
 York, England's future queen, played at
 the battle of Koorn Spruit or the injustice
 by which the gallant General Gatacre has
 been made to suffer for the royal cow ards pusillanmity.
 The prince, according to reports preva-
 lent in military circles, founded on official
 information, is not only accused of gross
 negligence, but of cowardice. He is de- clared to have led the stampede when the ambush discovered leaving the trap
 ped men, the guns and the country in the hands of a relatively insignificant force of Boers.
 The surprise prepared by the Boers on this occasion was for which a brave soldier, alive to his duty, sEould have been
 prepared. Teck was neither.
 When the word first came to him We are trappedi' his Womanlsh terror, II Is said, was pitiful.
 Not one of his men but would have stood his ground, ambush or not. But the lead CT, terror-stricken, turned, leaving the greater number of his men in the trap where his own folly had led them, and talk ing with him a small guard for his own protection.
 It is not likely that there is another such instance of cowardce in the recent history | of the British arms.
 Teck and his men did not draw rein un- | til they had fled l,200 yards, where the un- | taken guns were unlimbered and a per | functory attempt was made to shell the | Boers, who quickly got out of range with l their booty Nor were the guns followed
 up, although it was known that recovery | was feasible.
 Yet the only sequel thus far to this piece of egregious cowardice is the victimizing o ! Gatacre. The royal head has been shel
 tered, the royal name withheld. Teck was major in the First Life Guards
 He was the only Britsher holding such | position who was capable of committing 1 such disgraceful act and would not have 1 been shot That the war department | is silent as to what measure if any, vii
 be taken to punish the young duke is eaus | ing extreme resentment among all classes

could find no one who had time enough to do the job. The result was the wager.
 The house is a two-Story structure with three doors, fourteen windows and four teen pairs of shutters. Oberland carefully distributed his men about it and at a given word from Gus" Michael, who acted as timekeeper they began to sling paint at a great rate. Suddenly there was no more white lead without which the painters could do nothing more ObsrIand jumped into a wagon standing before grocery store and went flying down the street. He returned, busy mixing pailtul of white lead with one hand and driving the horse with the other. A moment later the painters were hard at work again and use after o'clock the last painter roared "F inished" The bet was won.
