q y INTERESTING insight in
~ to the methods of yellow"
~ journalism is supplied in the
trial of a case which is now
occupying one of the Binghamton
courts. The case is that of Miss Belle
bradley against the New York World.
Suit is brought on two counts to re-
cover damages aggregatinG $4,000 for
a defamato,y publication in the World.
Including the unauthorized use of a
picture.
In its issue of Dec. 80, 1898, the World
printed a special from Binghamton
narrating the alleged arrest and COM
mltmcnt of Miss bradley to the county
iail on a charge Of ''scorching." The
dispatch went on to exploit her cy-
cling costume. trim figure, etc, and
Was in the typical tone of yellow
reporting. The next day the World
printed q picture purportinG to be a
likeness Of the plaintiff, who was held
UP 10 public scrutiny as "one of Bing-
hamtGn's farest cyclers, who had
Just served a term in the Broome coun-

the handle bars"
The testimony brought out that Miss
Bradley had never been in a court
room in her life until she appeared as
the prosecutor in the present case. A
.uonth. before the date of the Worlds
~isyatch a cortain Belle Brandt had
been convicted of violating the bicycle
ordinance and had been sentenced to
ten days IN Jail. The reporter for the
World q month later, without eXamin-
atiop Of the court docket, but upon
hatrsay, confused Miss Bradley with
the Brandt woman and let loose the
yellow" story and picture. Although
the dispatch included a purported in
terview with Miss Bradley, the report
cr on the witness stand was compelled
to admit that he had never spoken "a
either Miss Bradley or to the Brandt
woman: and as for the picture, II
had been selected at random from
among collection in a photograph
gallery.
Errors in newspaper production creep
in despite the best OF care and in
justice Is often done when none is in
tended. This Is true OF the most hon.
orable publications. But the foregoing
case Is good sample of what is
familiarly known as yellow" jour.
nalisin and it clearly illustrates how
reporting should not he done.

Board of Trade and Trans
A~ pOrtation on Wednesday
night Senator Lindsay, of
Kentucky, a Democrat spoke as pa
triot and statesman. His words
should be CIRCULATED widely as an anti
dote TO the mushy verbosity of Will
liam Jennings Bryan. Senator Lind
say said:
II am not one of those who believe
that any political party desires, or
will ever desire. or dare to claim the
right of the United States to indetin-
itely govern. against their deliberate
will and consent, a people possessed
OF the elements of civilizations: but l
do no. consider that the restoration
of order by the strong arm, or the
failure, for the time being. to outline
a policy that cannot be intelligently
decided on, until period of law and
order shall have enabled us to fully
comprehend the situation. and to pre-
pare to meet and deal with it, indi-
Gates a spirit of autocratic imperial
ism, or justifies the charge that the
American people are departing from
the traditions of the fathers. or con-
verting the American republic into an
imperial despotsm.
I'VE have extended our dominion,
but we have not changed the nature
of our government. When the oppor-
tunty comes and it can only come
with the restoration of peace and or
der, we will hold up the hands of such
of the people of the Philippines as
mcnt, and assist them to work out their
political salvation, even to ultimate
independence. and then to be the first
to welcome them into the family of
nations. Entertaining this belief, and
indulging this hope, | feel that the
war in the Philippines. cruel as il
may be. and war is always cruel, is
the price that must be paid to secure
to these islanders that degree of free
dom necessary to enable them to be-
gin the erection of an orderly and sta.
BILE government We have freed them
from the tyranny and misgovernment
of Spain. 1t remains for us to free
them from the dcspotsm of aspiring
native chieftains. who know nothing
of free institutions, and care nothing
for the weak or defenceless.'
ultimate independence may oil
may not become possible in the Philip
pines. 1t is in any event a question
for the future Should it become pos
.sible, the same good sense which shall
make 1t possible will probably look
upon it as not to be preferred to per-
manent Identification with the great
republic. But for the present the
duty is clear and inevitable. The rant
ing Of the Masons and Pettigrews anc
the buncomhe transforming OF the
Bryans disturb but do not change it
TO it's faithful performance the sacred
honor of this nation is pledged in the
blood of its valiant sons.

THE GLASS OF FASHION.

China silks of the pompadour period
form some of the newest petticoats.
Shades of yellow with cream play the
part of accessories to the brown cloth
gowns which are to be SO much worn
this season.
Black velvet embroidered with gold
is used for decoration on the new rough
materials. Zibeline is especially pref
ty ornamented in this way.
Stockings to match the gown are the
latest fad, and one way to obtain this
Is to purchase the white ones and have
them dyed to match the sample of your
gown.
Empire gowns of beaded and en-
broidered nets are shown among the
new evening gowns. The neck is cut
low, and the sleeves are long and
transparent.
White broadtail is used as a dress
trimming this season, two inch band
widening into scallops on the upper
edge, sewed on the flounces of a pale
gray gown, being one example.
The craze for machine stitching has
assumed another form, and the chain
stitch is used in close rows around the
edge of cloth coats, the rows being so
close together that the effect resembles
military braid.
Some of the newest gowns for house
wear Introduce a sash either at one
side of the back or one side of the
front. A black mousseline sash with
bands of gold across the ends Is very
effective in some colors.
1t is reported that eastern embroid-
cries are to adorn the revers and col
lars of our fur coats, but 1t Is to be
hoped that such fancy may not ma
terialize, since the beauty of fur is
rarely If ever enhanced by anything
except very dainty lace.-New York

Laid n Good Foundation.

II never found out how wise my ia
ther was" said the robust, rosy faced
man, until grew up. One of the
things he did was to bunko me COM
pletely. 1t was as clean case of swim
die as one could hope for, but l never
realized it until l grew up. There were
four boys in our family, and we were all
pretty healthy eaters, with boys nat
ural love for jam, cakes, pies and other
indigestible stuff. We had table pretty
well stocked with these things at home,
and it was rule that the boys were to
have everything they wanted to eat
There was no restriction as to anything,
and cake and jam were just as free as
bread.
"There was only one proviso, and that
was, If you eat rich things, you must
lay a good foundation This foundation
was a great big, thick slice of bread, with
butter on it. We always eyed the good
things longingly, laid the foundation and
then somehow didn't care so much to
stuff ourselves. AS say, never found
out how l was bunkoed until I grew up,
but l think my good digestion is due to
this wise provision"

ORCHARD AND GARDEN,

Properly cared for currants will bear
fruit for 20 years without losing vigor.
If the orchard bears little fruit, and
that of poor quality, give good dress
Ing of manure.
When pear trees refuse to grow and
appear dormant, cultivate well and ap-
ply wood ashes.
One advantage with we'll drained
land is that on it the fruit will,come to
maturity earlier.
A complete change of soil I'M flower
pots Is sometimes necessary. 1t will
give the plants more food.
Trees will make a growth of leaves
and wood on poor land, but mineral
manures are required to perfect fruit.
Pears need better land than the ap-
pie and more constant culture, but
should not be cultivated yafter midsum-
mer.
Potatoes and roots, which grow in
the soil, rsay be placed in contact with
the soil, but fruits must not be, as it
gives an earthly flavor, though this will
partly pass away.
If strawberry plants were set out
early, it is good plan to go carefully
over the rows now and, If any plants
are missing, replace them, as it is quite
an item to have good stand of plants.
