Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1900-09-13

In "Under Three Flags In Cuba" by
Musgrayc, the author tells how a
scheme was hatched to capture the no
torious General Weyler:
General Weyler walked nightly down
the Prado with only an aid and three
secret police sauntering behind. Some
Cubans often debated with me the
feasibility of seizing him there one
night, dragging him down the steps to
the Punta beach and shipping him
down the coast to Gomez, to be held as
a hostage for all Cuban prisoners. This
would have been easy in the darkness
with n launch and tug in the otllng
that could race the obsolete boats In
the harbor.
We worked perslsenty In planning
this The guards were to be overpow-
cred by sudden onslaught from the
rear, the general seized, pinioned and
embarked. Lack of funds delayed the
attempt. Finally we chartered n tug
in Key West, but the owner drew back
at the last. and just as another boat
was offered Weyler was recalled.

showing up the ways of husbands:
They've no sense, men haven't,

"You never spoke truer word, Mrs

their stomachs, and they fancy they
are a-wrestllng with their doubts when

ued Mrs. Bateson. "a kinder husband

The citizens OF Little Italy" forgot
his very existence. When he did not
appear, they concluded that he had re-
turned to Italy for a time, and they
did not even care to inquire. One day
a little. old woman in shabby black,
with coarse veil tied around her head
so that her face was wholly concealed,
came to Little Italy" and inquired
for Pietro. She could speak no Eng
lish, and she seemed greatly agitated.
The women were consumed with
curiosity, and led her willingly to
Pietro's little workshop. Her terror
was ptiable when she found that he
had gone and had not been seen for
a month She called on all the saints
In the calendar to help her, and then
on death to relieve her, and she flung
herself on Pietro's own couch and
moaned for hours. She barred the
door and covered the window so that
the curious ones could not watch her
from without. and she herself only
emerged when she wanted to buy food.
1t was some days after this occur
renee that Pietro, walking In the coun-
try, saw vision of his Beatricia
stretching out her arms to him and
CRYING out to him in a sad. distressed
way. The vision was so distinct that
for moment he thought it was real
"She is dying" he cried TO the sky,
"and she is sorry. and would ask my
forgiveness, and | cannot go to her.
o God of the poor. cannot go!'
1t made such a powerful impression
upon his mind that he turned about
Immediately and began to retrace his
way back to the city and TO his shop.
When he reached Little Italy" doz-
en- eager men and women rushed upon
him. seized him bodily and dragged
him toward his abode.
"Thy mother, thine old mother, is
here" they screamed. "Ungrateful fel-
low, she is alone and waiting thee"
For the first time In many months
Pietro smiled.
"My mother" he whispered, 'is with
the saints and happy! What canst
thou meanP
eco, look for thyself, half witted
sluggard and beggar," they bawled out.
And they pushed him toward the door.
The little, old woman who had i'm
prisoned herself within caught the
shouts and the voice of Pietro, and her
heart gave one wild bound, and she
stood trembling at the door, ready to
fling it open.
Pietro stepped cautiously and touch
ed the handle. He did not know whom
he might encounter, so his advance
was timid. AS the door swung back
he gazed stupidity for moment. Then
n cry of joy and pain broke from his
lips as he laid his hand on his heart to
still its awful beating.

BILE to rot and are harder than Euro
pean varieties.
Native plums are infertile when
planted alone, and care should be TAX
en- to select varieties which bloom at
about the same time.
The American group is the hardest
of the natives, as well as OF all other
classes. The trees are vigorous, with
dark green leaves; the fruit Is firm,
with thick skin, dull in color, but usu-
ally high in quality, although having
more or less astrlngency next to skin
and stone. Some of the varieties OF this
class are desirable for home use, but
owing to rather unattractive appear
ance but few of those now known are
likely to prove profitable for market.
The following are some of the most de-
sirable that have been grown here:
American Eagle, Champion, Hawkeye,
Illinois Ironclad, Louisa, Rollingstone
and Weaver.
The Miner group is intermediate be-
tween the Americana and Wild Goose
groups and includes some choice varie-
ties for culinary purposes. The follow
ing are desirable: Forest Rose, Miner
and Prairie Flower.
The wild Goose Group.-The varie-
ties of this class are mostly vigorous
and very fruitful. The foliage resem.
bles that of the peach, the fruit is thin
skinned, juicy and often watery and
usually not of high quality. Although
not as hardy as the Americana species,
oil varieties that have been grown here
have endured our winters. The follow
ing are worthy varieties: Choptank,
Milton, Pooles Pride, Wild Goose and
Whitaker.
The Wayland Group.-Similar in hab-
II of growth to Wild Goose, but the
foliage is more shiny, the trees being
quite ornamental. The fruit Is very
firm. not watery, and of fair quality
and in most cases very bright and
beautiful In color. The following are
desirable varieties: Golden Beauty,
Reed, Sucker State. Wayland and
Moreman.
The Chickasaw Group. - Rather
dwarfer and more spreading than the
Wild Goose group. The least desirable
Of any OF the native groups for domes-
tic uses. The following are among the
best varleties Newman, Pottawatta-

The Trinora Group, or japanese
Plums-Trees robust In habit and
mostly very fruitful. Fruit usually
handsomely colored and Of good quail
ty, but most varieties quite inclined
to rot The following are some of the
best that have been fruited here:
Abundance, Chabot, Burbank, Ogon.
Red June.
The Domestica Group.-This Is the
well known European plum. At pres
ent it is the most important class, al-
though subject to numerous diseases
and very liable to the attacks of the
curculio. The following varieties have
been found TO be valuable. both here
