Took Jewelry Valued at $25o,ooo.

The sensation of the week in New York
city has been the mysterious disappear
ance of Major Putnam Bradlee Strong
only son of the late ex-Mayor Strong.
1t was found on his departure that he
had taken from safety deposit vault jew
els owned by May Yohe, the actress, val
ued at $3.50, 900. May Yohe is the wife of Sir
Francis Hope of England. She deserted
her husband to go with Strong, who was
then an officer in the volunteer army
assigned to service in the Philippines
He at once resigned and after spending
some time in Japan, the two made a
journey around the world The past
few months they have been living at
Hastings -on-the-H Hudson. 1t now ap-
pears that Strong was in financial straits
some time ago. and that Miss Yohe has
furnished all the money for his lavish
expenditures. 1t is known that jewelry
valued at $4,000 has been found in
pawn shops in New York, and 1t is
suspected that the amount which will
eventually be recovered is much larger.
Strong received only s710O for the $780,
600 worth of jewelry. warrant was at
first issued for his arrest, but Strong
had gone. 1t is believed that he has
fled to Japan.

Potatoes and BIightinq.

The late blight or rust has anpeared
on early potatoes at the Vermont experi-
ment station, Burlington This date.
July 49, is the earliest record of its an
pearance there for the past thirteen years
during which 1t has been a matter of
critical study by the station officers
They consider that the chances favor
even more serious development of the
disease than last year-and possibly, If
weather favors, the worst scourge of
the last decade. The reasons for this
fear are threefold: first this remarkably
early beginning of the blight-which
means that whatever the weather con-
ditions 1t will spread insidiously from
this time on; second. the large amount
of rot occurring last autumn means that
the germs of the disease, which are
carried in the seed potatoes are present
in most potato fields; third, the weather
conditions so far this season have pre-
pared the crop for serious blighting
since planting was delayed unusually
late and the growth made by the plants
recently has been very rank.
The rapid spread of blight depends upon
weather conditions, If the rest of the
season should be continuously dry there
might be little trouble from IT, The
chances are, however, that there will
be an unusual development of the dis
ease.
Prices promise to- be high again this
autumn and it is recommended by the
Experiment station officers that spraying
with bordeaux mixture, to preserve the
plants from blight, be made earlier and
more thoroughly than usual. Their
specific recommendations are as follows:
Spray early potatoes as soon as possible
now and later ones about the first of Au-
gust Probably 1t will be profitable i'm eth
err case to spray a second time about two
weeks after the first application is made.
Thorough spraying requires from two to
four barrels of the mixture to the acre.
Most people do not use enough, There
is no danger of injuring the vines from
an overdose providing the mixture is
properly made.
The mixture consists of l pound of
stone lime, IL pounds blue vitriol, "copper"
sulphate), 10 gallons of water. a lbs.
lime 6lbs. vitrlol, barrel water). Stake
the lime and dissolve the vitrol in sep
arate vessels and mix just before using
Add paris green, 1Alb. to the barrel OF
mixture If needed for the bugs.
Remember this is a preventive, not a
cure, and must be applied before the dis
ease gains Roadway, also remember to
spray thoroughly If at all. Careless
spraying is little better than none.

Death of John w. Mackay, Bonanza
Kinu

John William Mackay Il, who died at
his London residence, Sunday, was the
last survivor of the celebrated mining
and banking partnership made up of him
self, James G.. Fair, James C. Flood and
William O'Brien, the bonanza kings"
who discovered and operated the great
Comstock lode, the richest pocket known
in the whole history of gold mining
Mackay stated a few years ago that the
mine yielded $50 900, 900. His story belongs
to the romance of the new Eldorado of
vast fortunes accumula ted by the pick
and shovel, and spent in royal proportions
in this country and in Europe.
O'Brien gave himself up to a life of
gross indulgence, which lasted 10 years
Fair became United States senator from
Nevada, and his record was not savory;
Flood was a generous and interesting
man; but none of them compared with
Mackay for solid and enduring qualities
He had more than luck; he had great
business ability and personal power, and
had never ceased active work. He with
James G. Bennett laid the CONNER
cial cable between this country and Great
Britain and France, and brought down
the monopoly of the cable service; he
alone developed the system of land SER
vice in this country connected with the
Commercial cable. With Flood and Fair
he established the Nevada bank in San
Francisco and was its president at the
time of his death. He owned controlling
interest in the Postal telegraph company.
1t had been many years since he had
lived in California. and he was not often
of late seen in New York, where he long
maintained a residence.
