TELEGRAPHERS FAIL.
NORTHERN PACIFIC REFUSES TO
RECOGNIZE THE ORGANIZATION,

RECOGNIZE THE ORGANIZATION.
st. Paul, Dec. 2G.-Thc Northern
Pacific has refused the demands of it's
telegraphers for the formation of new
rules to govern their work and onv
sations. This decision was made
known to the telegraphers' committee
at noon today. The Northern Pacific
holds that the changes demanded in
the rules are substantially the same
as those in effect now, though in many
instances worded differently.
The refusal of the railroad company
for rules and recognition as an organ
ization practically disposes of the wage
question, as a readjustment depended
almost entirely upon the adoption of
new rules.

TIP BURN OF TIE POTATO IRAE.

TIP BURN OF TIKI POTATO I8A2.
States outside Of small gardens. We
have seen marked benefits from water
ing such garden plots. In the western
states, notably in Colorado, immense
crops Of potatoes are raised upon irri-
gated land.
In the eastern states proper attention
to the accumulation Of a store Of hu-
mus in the soil by the more frequent
growth of clover, frequent tillage dur
ing drought and proper spraying with
bordeaux will reduce this damage to
little practical importance.
The foregoing are among conclusions
drawn by Professor L. r. Jones from
investigation Of potato troubles ct the
Vermont station.

"a Fine Idea Finely Carried Out. .

The Americans have succeeded in doing
what we should have thought impossible
they have spread the impression of a
funeral service at one and the same indi-
visible point of time throughout conti-
nent. Mr.. Huntington, the great build
er and manager Of American South
western railways, died, and as he was
very popular throughout his lines, those
who had been in his employ wished to
pay to his memory some special and
striking honor. With the half poetic,
half practical feeling which often distin-
guisheS American acts, they arranged
that at the moment when in New York
the body of their late chief was carried
from the church to the grave the trains
upon the many systems of lines which he
had controlled should as by some COM
mon and self derived impulse arrest their
movement. AS the coffin was lifted,
through thousands of miles of line cover
ing the whole distance from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, every train stopped. The
communication of a continent was ar
rested as by some supernatural COM
mand. Not a wheel turned until the
body had been lowered, when, as if re-
leased by some Impulse common to all,
communication and ordinary life were
finely carried out. The dead man had
created the lines had, as it were, given
them breath, and when life stopped with
him, so, as in sympathy, it momentarily
did with them London Spectator.

The attractions between the races fur
nished much enjoyment. c. c. Bonette
made the best parachute drop ever seen
at the grounds and landed on the Ladd
farm in Waterford. He was ready to
make an ascension on Wednesday, but
the wind was too strong for any aerial
feats. The platform attractions were up
to former years and the trick bicyclist
was the finest ever seen here.
Most Of the premiums have been paid
by Treasurer Carr and the management
expect that the 1900 fair will be fnan-
cial success even though they had heavy
odds to contend with in the line Of
weather.

MEDINI ENTERTAINMENT.

ton. The chorus did their parts like
artists.
Although THE Red Domino was
not reached till 10:45 the audience was
charmed with the play, which was pre-
scented for the first time. 1t is one of
the daintiest comedies ever seen here
and has all the dash and spirit that
play of the kind should contain.
Madame Medini who conceived the
idea of appearing in the male character
of Frenchman, found, in forgotten
English play, thread upon which to
weave her story, and added to it
Scotch character with dance and song
for both herself and Mrs. Staples. The
play occupies thirty minutes and the
ladies represent five characters.
There could be nothing more artistic
than the performance of these two
ladies. Mrs. Staples made charming
Scotch lass who pretended she could
not dance, yet gave the highland fling
with IL great spirit and grace. Madame
>Medini's song was artistically sung and
her dance was piquant and dashing.
As to her representation of the male
role, there is no one on the English
stage today who could excel her repre-
sentation of the handsome Frenchman,
speaking broken English

The entertainment given by Madame
Medini was delightful and held the
audience till IL 20 o'clock. There were
six costumed thunderstorm of them
written by Madame Medini and given
for the first time brilliantly per-
formed piano duet by Mrs. Speer and
Miss Belle Heinemann, and q merry
song by f. w. Kiekbusch, Jr., both
were encored. The Celestial Choir was
impressive and beautifully sung byMiss
Nellie Gamble and chorus. The Celes-
tial Rehearsal was surprise and
caught the crowd-in fact was "out of
sight" The audience showed its patri-
otism by an encore of flag scene. The
