1t is also recommended that in order
to avoid planting inferior trees which
can never make graceful and symmet-
rical specimens and to reduce the cost
of the trees which are set out, the city
should have, at the Springside farm, a
small tree nursery, of from three to
five acres, under the charge Of the for
ester, The initial cost of such nur-
sery need not be more than $780,
Finally the committee discussed the
variety of trees suitable for street and
park planting 1t recommends that as
the old elms die or are destroyed in our
public parks they should be replaced by
the same species in order that this
character of the Elm City may be pre-
served.
The red, sugar, Norway and sycamore
naples and the silver maple are recon-
mended for street planting and atten-
ton is also called to certain trees which
have been little used here, the julip tree
or wildwood, the pin oak, plane and
European linden.
The report of the committee is illus
trated by a number of photographs
showing the various forms of injury to
trees and their results

Constant watchfulness is necessary to
detect the first attack of the borer,

casts, like sawdust in looks, which the
insect pushes out Of it's tunnel. 1t may
then be killed by wire or by putting q
few drops of bisulphine of carbon in the
tunnel and closing it with putty.
The committee recommends the pur-
chase by the city of spraying apparatus

Regarding cost of spraying the COM
mittee cites the experience of those
who had done it on a considerable SCALE
and who have found that for trees from
fifty to seventy feet high the cost rang
ed from IS to 56 cents per tree, the low

where the improved apparatus recon-
mended in this report was employed.
The committee finally discusses the
question of how and under what man

carried out,
1t recommends that an expert city

charge of the planting, trimming,
spraying, and general protection Of all
trees on the streets and public squares

The Gibraltar Of India and How it Was
Finally Captured.

| The Gibraltar Of India and How it Was
Finally Captured
| The deposition of the maharaiah of
4 Bharatpur for misgovernment recalls to
mind two of the most remarkable epi-
sodes of Indian history. A fortress of
wonderful natural strength Bharatpur
has the proud distinction of having
withstood the fiercest assaults of Lord
Lake the able colleague of Sir Aruhtr
Wellesley, at the height of his victorious
career,
Rangit Singh, maharajah of Bharat-
pur, was one of the first princes of In
dia to enter into an alliance with the
British government. In the Maharatta
war of 1903 against Scindia a Baharat-
pur contingent helped Lord Lake to gain
the victory of Laswara, but when. the
following year, war broke out also with
Holllar, the Bharatpur troops withdrew
from the alliance and even gave shell
ter to the shattered forces of Helkar
beneath the walls of Deeg. Lord Lake
forthwith attacked Deeg and carried it
by assault. Then he laid siege to Bhar-
atpur itself. The town was surrounded
by mud wall Of great height and
thickness and protected by numerous
bastions. The garrison was estimattd
at 5000 men; Lord Lakes force at 10000.
Being deficient in heavy artillery the
besiegers made little impression ON the
massive earthworks. AT last after los
ing more than a third Of his army Lord
Lake gave up the siege.
The failure Of the attack under a gen.
eral second to none in Indian reputation
gave the fortress . unique Importance
in popular estimation. The prestige of
the British government was at stake.
A hundred victories elsewhere We're dis
counted by this one defeat. Men talked
of it with bated breath, and whisp red
mysteriouey of divine mandate that
had endowed the citadel with perpetual
impregnability. 1t became a public
danger-no less serious because it was
sentimental. 1t had to be captured at
any cost. The government bided it's
time.
In 1926 the reigning maharajah died.
and the succession was disputed by two
cousins. One imprisoned the other, and
placed himself ON the throne That was
the opportunity the British government
was long awaiting. A magnificent army

AMERICAN BEGGAR IN ENGLAND.

Does a Thriving Trade-He Depends
Mostly Upon His Own Countrymen-
Considers London a Splendid Field
There is a Yankee beggar in London
who in the last few years has enjoyed
an income-derived wholly from his
caling-whch many of his more pros
porous countrymen might look upon
without contempt. This man, in his
quest of aims, has been in so many
countries, and has begged beneath so
many suns, that he might readily be
styled an International beggar; but
among his British colaborers, at least,
he is arrogantly proud of his nationali-
ty and boasts that to it is due all his
present prosperity. He is still young
man in years-not more than thirty
two or thirty-four at the most--and APP
parently as strong and sound physical
ly as a man who had been brought up
on a farm. He came to London direct
from New York; before that he had
worked" the continent, and had been,
according to his own concisely told
sketch OF his career, as lar east as S.
Petersburg, and as far north as Stock
holm.
That he is in the English capital now
is due, he says, principally to his belief
conceived while he was in this city
that London offered a Splendid field to
man of his talents, and because he
found, upon arriving there, that he was
not mistaken. His victims, or as the
beggar more generously calls Them his
customers" are confined to his own
countrymen; and his method of doing.

from any subsequent embarrassment to
himself. shows that he has shrewdly
estimated national weakness and has
taken advantage of it. Upon the arri-

Tn short, 7.800 miles have to be tray- eled to cover q distance Of 1,600 miles. \ letter between Cape Town and =Lo- anda takes about two months. Here is q picture of what trades mean in the favored region of Cabinda bay. where there is single trader. who occupies a house Of three rooms. with a shop of % by 3 feet attached. The place is stocked with puneheons Of some vile stuff called rum. 7 which are ex- changed for palm kernels. Knots of natives from the interior villages with loads Of kernels begin to present themselves at the shop as 5 a. n. and when the trader at last makes his ap- Fearanee there is noisy crowd of ker- neI-selIars and thirsty hangers-on.

On a good day, which Is often enough Sunday. the trader at Cabinda bay gets rid of about 190 gal

Georgia Lawyers Handed Over Their
 Guns With Singular Unaainisy.

Georgia has a stringent law forbid ding it's citizens to carry pistols on pain of forfeiting the weapons and paying fine of $50 or being fmpris- oned for thirty days. Shortly after the passage of this enactment Judge Lester was holding court in little town, when suddenly he suspended the trial of case by ordering the sheriff to lock the doors Of the courthouse. Gentlemen. said the judge when the doors were closed. T have just seen 8 pistol on man in this room, and I cannot reconcile it to my sense Of duty to let such a violation of this law pass unnoticed. I ought perhaps to go be- fore the grand jury and indlct him. but If that man will walk Up to this stand and lay his pistol and a fine Of 8 down here will let him off this time" The judge paused. and law yer sitting just before him got Up

This is all right. said the judge, but you are not the man I saw with the pistol Upon this another lawyer arose and laid down q Colts revolver and a dollar bill be- fore the judge, who repeated his for mer observation. The process went on until nineteen pistols of all kinds and sizes and shapes lay upon the stand. together with nineteen dollars by their side. The judge laughed as he con- plimented the nineteen =dalInquents upon being men of business. but ada cd that the man whom he had seen with the pistol had not come up, and. glancing at the far side Of the court. he eontinued T will give him one minute to accept my proposition. and if he fails will hand him over to the sheriff Immediately two men from the back Of the court rose and began to move toward the judges stand
 Once they stopped to look at each other, and then. coming slowly for ward laid down their pistols and their dollars. As they turned their backs the judge said: This man with the black whiskers is the one that I originally saw.''-NeW York Press.
