not be their fellowmena aud who could
swayed by extraneous consideration,
trial by jury might be relieved of
some of the Odium now cast on the
system A fair and impartial selec-
tion of jurors by men having an eye
single to their fitness would to some
extent remedy the present defects in
the administration of law but when
men are selected without regard to
their qualifications and come from
the locality in which the parties
litigant reside it would be strange
indeed il many were not included
in the panel who were unfit to de-
termine questions arising between
neigbbors. Personal animosity,
jealousy, spite and unworthy mo-
tives too often hold sway to say
nothing of baser inducements. A
tribunal composed of judges learned
in the law who had no immediate
occasion to regard the votes of their
constituents might hold the scales
with more even hands. Such men
would not be easily persuaded by an
an improbable story and would by
experience and practice be better
fitted to,discern the real truth in the
testimony. The guilty might not
so often escape and the innocent
therby be punished.

APPLE BoRIRs.

These pests are difficult to fight
and are very destructive to young
orchards. No treatment has yet
been discovered which will eradi-
cate them though there are three
practices which are somewhat in
vogue. Whitewash in which little
glue is mixed applied to the trunk
and limbs is q preventive to some
extent. Soft soap is also used.
These to be effective must be ap-
piled early this month and kept up
through most of July, Paper is
sometimes bound around the tree,
and the other most effective method
is to search for and dig out the
young larvae in August and Sep
tember At that time the young
may be discovered just under the
bark and are easily detected by the
excrement which appears A sharp
knife, a small wire or even a pin
will then reach and desti oy the oc-
cupant ana little time spent in
the fall in searching for the pests
when they can be easily reached,
before they have gone deeply in the
wood, will be we'll repaid by the in
creased vigor of the orchards. 1t is
hardly worth while to plant young
apple trees unless considerable care
is taken to keep them free from
borers, and digging them out is the
most effectual and surest remedy.

The Erie Held Up.

a decision of the New York courts
that the power to condemn land for
railroad purposes does not extend to
lines proposed for short cuts, but is
confined to main lines, has stopped
work on the Erie's short cut near
Goshen. 1t may seem like presum-
ing to express an opinion in the face
of learned court, but it would ap-
pear to be narrow construction of
the right of eminent domain to say
that it could not be invoked for i'm
provements by which the public
would be benefited.

THE CHURCH COLUMN.

The subject for next Sabbath
morning is "Heaven.
Children's Day will be observed
at Union in the afternoon of next
Sabbath and at the home church
at night.
The communion service last Sab
bath morning was the most largely
attended of any during the present
pastorate. There are still some who
neglect tlds most sacred duty and
privilege of the Lords supper Any
one who habitually remains away
from the Lords table loses the spir-
itual blessing that it affords, anL if
this ne lect is willful it is denial
of Christ and a positive refusal to
be in Christian fellowship with the
followers OF our Lord Such dis
loyalty to Christ and disunion
among His professed followers
works untold harm to the church.
The presence of the presiding
elder with us this week calls for a
review of the work of our church.
Financially the year is opening ur
better than it did last year. A
marked increase is noticed in our
morning congregations, due to the
faithfulness of our own members
We desire to express our apprecia-
ton OF their presence The goodly
number who have been coming
from the other churches when nc
service was held in them is also a
source Of pleasure to us. We be.
lieve in fraternity among The
churches, and trust that the good
fellowship that exists may continue
and increase.
The. twenty-five new volumes
placed in our Sabbath school library
will give our young people an op
portunity to improve their minds
We trust that all of these Oppor
tunities will be improved and thai
the young people of our school viii
be happier and better as a result ot
their new acquisition.

The decision of the court in the
Blooming Grove Park case puts that
corporation on the same plane with
other land owners in the county and
relegates it to an action Of trespass
for all encroachments on its territory.
The Park people have spent consider
able money on their property and
made many improvements because of
the extraordinary privileges granted
under the charter which practically
gave them supreme control Of their
lands. 1t can only be surmised what
course they will now pursue if the de-
eision is affirmed, as it materially
eurtails the power to enjoy their do-
main without interference from those
desiring to hunt and fish on their
premises.

IHE JURY system.

An article on another page, being
an extract from a speech before an
Ohio bar association, condemns in
vigorous language trial by jury.
This ancient method the germ Of
which is said by some to be Of Anglo
Saxon origin and to date back TO the
time Of King Alfred in $50. has Of
late received considerable criticism.
Much may be said for and against.
That men sworn as jurors well and
impartially to try and a true verdict
render according to the evidence
will allow their minds to be warped
by prejudice, self interest or other
unjustifiable motives cannot be
doubted when the verdicts often
rendered are considered. The theory
is right but the frailty Of human
nature too frequently makes an
abortion Of justice. Apostolic rem
edy for much of this might be in
the selection Of men called on to sit
a. jurors. If msn could be chosen
who were Of high moral character,
those in theoommunity who regard
I'd justice rather than the opinions Of

Perry Heath passed through Wash
ington several days ago, and in the
course Of a conversation, said of his
much talked of London interview,
concerning the nomination of Senator
Hanna for President: "That boom,
if that term could be applied to my
expression in London, was the merest
incident or the outgrowth of friend
ly conversation that could be possible.
had not thought of the expression a
moment before it passed my lips, and
1 don't believe l thought of it again
until 1 arrived in the United States.
1 think the idea of being Presiden-
tial nominee is about the furthest
away from Senator Hanna's mind
of any other subject in the world.
In talking of his great strength of
character and popularity, l only
meant to convey the idea that he
would make a magnificent candi-
date and a tip-top President 1 ex-
pect that the first time I meet Sen
atOr Hanna l will have to dodge a
few brick bats, for feel very
certain that this subject is one not
only foreign TO his ambitions but
disagreeable to him.

The fine run of salmon in the
Delaware this spring has been the
source Of considerable revenue to
the fishermen below Easton. Sew
eral boats have netted from $t2O to
$160 each as a result of striking the
fish. They sold at prices ranging
from % to 40 cents per pound. One
fish caught Saturday weighed 81
pounds, and sold at $3.50. The fish
was a roe. Salmon fishing is grow
ing better every year and in a short
time it will no doubt prove of great
value commercially.-Monroe Dem

RemarlsnbIe Tree In aermany


Naturalists in Germany are much
interested in a wonderful old tree
which has been discovered near HON.
burg. It is an oak and is notable
not only on account of its great bulk,
but also for the fact that at the base
of the trunk it is entirely hollow. The
trunk, indeed. is not more than eight
or nine feet high, but it Is more than
20 feet in circumference. Some idea
of the size of its interior may be
gathered from the fact that four per-
sons recently found ample room in it.
In winter the old oak looks very bare
and gaunt, but, according to peasants
in the neighborhood, who have known
it for many years, il regularly puts
forth new twigs and foliage every
spring. so that, ancient and decayed
though it's trunk may be, il is never
theless crowned and surrounded with
masses of green leaves, just as it was
in the days of its youth. The people
of Homburg are very proud of this
natural curiosity.-N. Y Herald.
