Captain Of the Deutschland.
CNew York Evening WORLDLY

CNew York Evening Worldly
To see Commodore Adoiph AIbers of
the Deutschland ashore, in what he
calls his land togs," one would scarce
ly take him to be the commander of
the swiftest passenger ship afloat.
He is rotund. bulky. easy of manner,
laughing of eye-a man who seems to
see nothing serious in life, and who
was born with smile on his lips. and
sunshine in his heart He looks far
more like the prosperous proprietor of
a German inn than like the most fam
Gus sea captain in the world today.
There is nothing austere about Com
modore Albers. He has a cordial hand
grasp for everyone and at the end of
each voyage the officers of the Ham
burg-American line, in this city i'm
mediately hurry through the formaIi-
ties and then, with Albers, repair TO a
little German restaurant, not for from
the offices of the company, where for
several hours they sit about an uncoy-
cred table and discuss Pilsner and
wiener schnitzeI while Albers enter

and the latest gossip in the Fatherland
Albers is essentially a popular man

nature. as do his generous proportions
1t is dark brown in color. with here and
there few hairs OF white, but AIbers
is a young man in appearance despite
his 90 years.
His responsibilities apparently rest
easy upon him. During a voyage, when
the weather is fair. and all is plain
sailing, Albers is everybody's friend
especially the friend of the children. He
often unbends that dignity which is
supposed to mark the autocrat Of the
seas-the commanding officer, whose
power between ports is more absolute

tends q Powerful v~iceroy-The Boxers
Are Blamed For Present Troubles.
London (By Cable).-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Times says that
he learns from a trustworthy source
that Ii Hung Chang prior to his de-
parture from Pekin, Geographically
memorialized the throne impeaching
Prince Tuan Tsailan. the Princes
brother, Kang Vi and Chao Shu Cham.
AT the same time he informed the
Viceroys Of Nankin and Wuchang that
he had done SO, adding that he had
subscribed their names and Yung Shin
Kai's to the memorial, as his impend-
ing departure and the urgency of the
matter prevented him from consulting
them, and he had taken their consent
for granted.
1t now appears that Liu Kun VI ap-
proves, Chang Chin Tung disapproves
of their respective names in the me-
mortal, which mean a definite rupture
with the large and influential party
that is responsible for the present sit
uation. Ii Hung Changes action was
largely due to his having realized from
his interviews with Mr.. Rockhill, the
American special envoy, and the Ger
man Minister, that 1t was useless to
discuss any settlement which excludes
the punishment of the Empress and
her advisers.
There are indications that the infiu-
ence Of progressive Cinnamon holding
high office is having greater effect on
the Empress Dowager than ever be-
fore. An edict, the second issued by
the Empress since her fight from Pc
kin before the advance Of the allied
forces, was issued at Homa on Sep
TENDER 8. In it Her Majesty de-
nounces the Boxers and blames them
for all the present troubles. She or
ders that if they offer any opposition
to the imperial troops that they are to
be destroyed root and branch. In
fact, the edict practically orders their
determination.

Observation-Disclosures strawberries.


Many strawberry growers claim that
spring cultivation Of the plants re-
duces the yield. while others declare
that the crop will be doubled. Both
are right. 1t all depends upon the
method of cultivation practiced from
the beginning. The men nrst men,
toned cultivate shallow and little; the
second deep and a good deal. The
principle involved in each cas is the
same. Strawberries produce an abun-
dance Of feeding roots near the u
face during the fall months when
the weather is cool and the soil well
supplied with moisture. These roots
are the ones upon which the plants de-
pend in the early spring to push them
into flower and fruit. Thus hoeing
in the spring would kill them and
injurc the chances of a crop.
After the fruiting is yer these roots
become useless and new ones are sent
to lower levels to get water and thus
keep the plant from dying Of thirst.
Then the soil may be cultivated with
put fear Of injuring the plants. The
men who cultivate deep during the
summer, and keep 1t up late In the
! fall. make the roots form at a much
| over depth than those men who cul-
| tiyate only shallow or not at all. The
RESULT is that they may cultivate In
