CONGRESS SHOULD DECIDE.

1t should not be forgotten that the
choice Of an isthmian canal route is
largely q strife between the Eastern
ports and the rest Of the country
between New York and Boston and
taps Baltimore on the one side and
the rest of the Atlantic ports on the
other side. Not that New York and
Boston would be well served in a
Nicaraguan canal, for they would be,
but the Eastern ports are both jeal-
US and hoggish. They are not Will
ing to see the other ports of the
country advantaged III any way.
They want all the advantages them
selves. Because the Southern ports
would be nearer a Nicaragua canal
they prefer a canal farther away.
Advantages are all right if they are
in their favor, but they are all
wrong if they lean towards other
ports.
1t is not a sectional question, but a
port question, and q league has been
formed which includes the interna-
tional railroads and the Eastern ports
to fight the Nicaragua route. The
basis of this league is selfishness OF
the mostextreme sort. The interna-
tional railroads want no water COM
petition, and the Eastern ports want
no Southern rivals.
Congress should for the common
good select the route. President
Roosevelt is an honest man, but he
is an Eastern man, and the represen-
tatives of all sections Of the country
should not put upon him a task ne
does not covet. Congress alone should
select the route, because it alone
speaks for all sections of a broad
country. The question is a national
one of great breadth, and to unload
it upon one man would be both un-
just to him and disappointing to the
country. Let Congress decide.

VOTE AND JURY DODGING.

The last New York Legislature
and jury shirkers. sThe best'' citi-
zens in the cities of that State have
long neglected to qualify themselves
as voters. They have refused in
other words to cause their names to
be entered on the registry lists. In
this way they have escaped both
their duty at the polls and in the
Jury box. In New York City alone
it is estimated that fully 10000 per-
sons in this way avoid public duties.
Bishop Potter recently showed that
there was scarcely a voter on a
we'll known fashionable street in that
city.
The Legislature took this problem
in hand, and it passed a law provid-
ing that a list shall be made and
published of all those who do not
qualify themselves to vote by regis
tering their names, and that this list
shall constitute a special preferred
jury list from which all jurors are to
be drawn until the list of ~non-regis-
tered persons is exhausted.
Jury lodging is almost as harmful
as vote lodging, and it is hoped the
New York law will cure both evils.
Its effect and efficiency will be
watched with interest. There are
always ways in which men can be
made to do their duty to the State,
and the New York Legislature has
perhaps adopted a very wise and
practical one.
The evils complained of are much
less in degree as one goes from the
large cities to the lesser ones, and
from the latter to the rural sections,
where as a rule there is very little
neglect of public duties. The vote
dodger and the jury dodger r not
wholly lacking in these, however,
but the evil appears there in a modi-
fed form, and it is in the cities alone
that the twin evils appear in dis
tressing degree. New York will en-
deavor to remedy its part Of the
trouble, and the experiment will be
closely and interestingly watched;
especially if the law be given a fair
trial.

VOLCANO IN THIS STATE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SHOCK
FELT
Report that Several n. G. Knobs
are Performing. Sulphur Contin-
uously Smelt.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 20
A distinct earthquake shock was felt
here early today, and has caused
much excitement and uneasiness.
The tremor was accompanied by a
low rumbling sound heard by all
whom the earthquake awakened.
The shock continued several seconds.
The residents of the surrounding
towns have been comparing notes to-
day and all agree that the vibrations
are due to an earthquake, and think
that the recent volcanic eruption
in the West Indies had something to
do with the shock felt here.

varieties of Garden Plants.

In the year book for 1901, issued by
the Department Of Agriculture, it is
stated that there were catalogued in
1900 no less than $50 nominal varietit
of cabbage, $50 of lettuce, 500 of bush
beans, $40 of sweet corn, $40 each Of
cucumbers and table beets, 255 of pole
beans and almost as many others of
other vegetables. OF course this in
cludes many varieties which differ from
others only by having the addition of a
growers name or some designation in
tended to be descriptive, as "improv-
ed" early" late" large" or other
addition which is intended to show a
difference from the others under the
old name. The department lately is
sued as a bulletin a List of American
Peppers" which enumerates 124 varie-
ties. Among so many how may ore
learn to choose the best? Undoubted-
" many of them differ in name only.
and perhaps some growers use more
care in selecting the seed stock or in
keeping varieties pure than do others,
and by the use of their name may de-
sire to gain reputation. but the above
list might well be divided by ten. and
still show all the different types. and
probably all really desirable varieties.

The Chinch Bug.

The Ohio Experiment Station reports
that the chinch bug is especially fond
of millet and similar grasses. and
where wheat fields are infested it will
be well to sow narrow strip of millet
between them and other crops. A strip
OF nillet two or three yards wide may
be sown by the side of the corn field
next to infested wheat or oats, and
when the bugs have taken possession
of 1t the millet may be plowed under
with a jointer pillow and the ground
narrowed and rolled, thus burying the
bugs. Another method is to plow a
deep furrow across their tracks, as
they travel from field to field; the bugs
in this furrow will have difficulty in
getting out, and may then be killed
by sprinkling them with kerosene emul-
sion. This may also be used where the
bugs have attacked the outer rows Of
corn, using spray pump and throwing
it with sufficient force to wash them
off the corn.

FIFTEEN DEAD IN WRECK.
Crowded Trolley Cars Collide Near
CloYersviIIe. n. Y


Two trolley cars crowded with passen-
gers collided on an electric railway near
Gloversville, n. Y, Friday night and if
teen persons were killed and twenty nine
injured.
For a distance Of four miles north Of
Gloversville the Mountain Lake Railweyy,
an electric road, connects Gloversville
with a popular place of resort and picnic
ground. As it was the Fourth of July
the place was crowded with pleasure
seekers. The cars were filled with peo-
pie coming home from the grounds.
The road makes steep ascent from
Gloyersville to the resort, rising LOCO feet
TO the FIVE miles. Two cars crowded with
persons who were returning home from
the resort started down the grade toward
Gloversyille only a short distance apart
In some manner the motorman of the
second and rear car lost control Of it and
It dashed ahead down the grade In spite
of the brakes and rapidly approached the
car preceding it. The two came together
with a crash so violent as to completely
telescope the cars, Killing and managing
the occupants. After the collision the
cars tumbled over into the ditch at one
side and one of the cars started to burn.

GRAIN AND STOCK MOVEMENT.
Large Increase in the Receipts of
Spring Wheat Is Shown.

Large Increase in the Receipts of
Spring Wheat Is Shown.
The receipts of wheat at eight interior
markets to the end OF Mag reached
total of 211 ,221 ,902 bushels. Last years
receinpts for the corresponding period
were 204, 0S3, 037 bushels. All this gain
is to be credited to spring wheat sections
of the country. There has been a de-
crease of nearly 22,O00,O00 bushels at the
winter wheat markets compared with last
year. The largest gains were made at
Duluth, Minneapolis and Milwaukee, all
other markets, including Chicago, Toledo,
st. Louis and Kansas City, falling short
of the receipts Of the previous year.
Weekly shipments Of hour at Minneap-
oils averaged 299,65S barrels for the first
twenty-five weeks of this year, :compar-
ed with 27O,042 barrels in 1901 and $780,
S77 barrels in 1900 The trunk line ship
ments eastward from Chicago and Chi
cago points show the usual high average
in provision shipments in contrast with
continued shrinkage in the volume of
grain and -four traffic.
Live stock receipts at FIVE western
markets in May amounted to 2,2S2, 005
head, and for FIVE months ended with
May to 12,502, 506' head, compared with
13, 213, 926 head in 1901 and 1865. 6S7
heed in 1900. The receipts of hogs at
Chicago alone for these FIVE months were
3 sos, 343 head, and exceeded the entire
receipts of any year at that market prior
to 1872. The growth of receipts of sheep
to the end of May of this year at Chicago
is shown by the fact that the number ex-
ceeded any entire years receipts prior ts

Value of ApnIe Pomace.


Apple pomace is usually held In light
esteem. Many think it not worth the
hauling. 1t is sometimes used as fer
tilizer, occasionally as a feed for pigs
or cows, but it frequently goes to waste
behind the cider mill. A minor expert
ment made in 1889 at the Vermont Ex-
pertinent Station indicated that its
feeding value was about equal to that
of good silage. Inasmuch as the meth
DDS of that test were open to criticism,
ii seemed worth while to repeat the
trial upon a more extended scale. Ac-
corGingly several tons of pomace were
obtained from a nearby cider mill and
ensiled for preservation. The results
secured were as follows: 1. From one
to three per cent less milk and butter
was made when the pomace was fed
than when corn silage was eaten. ..
The cows gave somewhat better milk
on pomace than on silage. The diff
ference amounted to about 0.20 per
cent. g. From three to four per cent
more product was made on the unit of
dry matter Of the pomace ration than
that of the silage ration. There seem
ed to be no i'll effects arising from the
feeding of fifteen pounds or less daily.
1t is but fair to say, however, that
the milk of these seven cows was
merged with that of the entire herd.
Had pomace been fed to the entire herd
in these quantities, it might have af-
fected the quality of the milk or the
butter. The present experiment does
not afford data upon this point. 1t is
expected to make observations thereon
during the coming year.-New England

FAST TRAIN HELD up.

dts Near Toilet, Ill.

dts Near Joliet, Ill.
Near Joliet, H., Thursday night four
bold and desperate highwaymen held mp
train No. s, one of the fastest on the
Rock Island road. The train was moving
at the rate of forty miles an hour, when
two masked men climbed over the ten
der, and, leYeling revolvers at the engi-
near and fireman, ordered them TO stop.
The engineer at first supposed it was
Fourth of July joke. He was ordered to
obey or lose his life, and he put on the
air brakes. The men then ordered him to
dismount and made him walk to the ex-
press car as a decoy. He was ordered to
ask the messenger to open the door.
When the messenger appeared the burg
lars began shooting and threatened to
blow up the car with dynamite unless
he gave up the valuables in his posses
sion.
Assistant Messenger Kane drew pis-
toll and was shot through the right groin.
One of the highwaymen then ordered the
engineer to put out the headlight and un-
couple the engine. This last effort was
unsuccessful. The messenger at the point
of pistol was made TO carry bag con-
tanning jewelry over TO a fence, where
it was leisurely examined.
Oliver NJ. Olson, the news agent, and
Charles G. Wentzler, reporter for a
Salt Lake paper, went forward to see
what the trouble was, and both were or
dered to go back. BY this time passen-
gers began piling out Of coaches to learn
the cause of the shooting. This fright
ened the highwaymen. who fed.
1t is believed the highwaymen got on
at Englewood and waited until the train
reached Dupont, lonesome spot twenty
three miles out of Chicago.

Pasture for Growing Hogs.

On every farm there is usually a
small piece of grass land which may
be fenced at small expense. and If 1t
can be shaded in some manner such
plot will be Just the place for the grow
ing pigs. A portion of an old orchard
may often be fixed in the manner sug-
gested, and the pigs will thrive in such
a place. If the grass growth Is scanty
try the plan Of cutting grass frem 9TH
er portions and throwing it to the pigs.
Keep them mainly on the usual sum-
mer rations given when in the pen and
furnish all the fresh clean water plac-
ed in such a manner that they cannot
get into it and wallow. This plan is
simple one, and easily carried out, and
will result in more thrifty pigs than
if kept in the pens during the warm
