FOREST PRESERVATION
SOCIETY OF ARBORICUITURE TO
ELECT NEW PRESIDENT.
He VIII Succeed the Late j.. Sterling
MortOn-Many Railroads Plant
ing Trees for Future Use.

Secretary John p. Brown, of the Internal
tional Society of Arboriculture, has issued
a call for the election of a president of
the society to succeed the late j. Sterling
Morton, whose death occurred recently.
The election probably will be held in this
city July 5.
The work which is being done by the
society in this and other countries is prac-
teal in character. Secretary Brown has
made special efforts 10 arouse interest in
forest perpetuation, and extensive tree
planting by great railroads in particular.
He has issued a number of circulars point
ing out the advantages to be derived from
planting trees for future use as crossties
or lumber. Through the efforts of the So
ciety a number of railroads nave given
the plan a trial. with results already that
justify the expenditure and trouble in
volved.
The Illinois Central has planted 10, 600
trees on a plantation a few miles from New
Orleans and 21,00 near Kankakee, III. Near
Brightwood the Big Four planted 10000
trees two years ago, and they are thriv-
ing and vigorous. The Boston g. Maine
road has planted 10000 trees this season.
The Boston & Albany. at various places
along its line, has planted 5000. The South
ern Pacific has purchased a number of
thousands of trees to set out. In Utah,
the Rio Grande & Western has planted
g, 600 trees. The Michigan Central has
adopted a system of tree planting, and has
an experienced man in charge of that de-
partment of its affairs. Probably the move
ment has been furthered most by the Kan
sas City, Fort Scott x Memphis Railroad.
which has planted 100000 trees on 100
acres of land purchased for the purpose.
The Burlington, which has planted many
thousands. is considering the ACCESSIBILITY
OF continuing the work on a larger scale.
The Santa Fe and the Evansville & Terre
Haute roads are planting thousands of
trees.
Among the important works of the So
ciety done recently was an examination
of the coniferous forests of California
with the idea of devising a plan for their
p~erpetuation. An extensive system of
planting was adopted. which is being car
ried forward. There are about one hundred
members of the society in Indianapolis,
and the membership is scattered through
out the world. The European states have
many hundreds of members, as well as
Canada and Australia.

LOST A GREAT CHANCE.
Opinion of General COburn Regarding
Camp wildcat Fight.

One Of the most enjoyable reunions held
during the encampment of the G.. A. r.
was that of the Thirty-third Infantry.
General John Coburn, of Indianapolis, re-
lated some interesting bits of war history
connected with the movements of the Thir-
ty-third during the first months of the
war. General Coburn said:
Every regiment has it's peculiar history.
The Thirty-third went to the field on the
18th day of September, 1861. by way of
Louisville and Lexington to Camp Dick
Robinson, Kentucky. where Gen George II.
Thomas was in Here was as
sembled, within a few days before and after
our arrival, a little army composed of the
Thirty-third Indiana, three regiments from
Ohio, three from Kentucky and the nucleus
of three regiments from East Tennessee,
the last named being fugitives from the
prosecutions of their enemies and ready to
take up arms in the cause of the Union.
These men were without arms or uniforms;
many of them were poorly clad. General
Thomas told me. on my arrival. that none
of the regiments in camp had any wagons
or ammunition. except the Thirty-third In
diana, which had twenty-eight wagons.
In a very few days the Thirty-third was
ordered TO march TO Crab Orchard, on the
direct road to Cumberland Gap, over which
mountain pass Zollicoffer's rebel army had
very recently marched on its way to central
Kentucky. Colonel Garrard's regiment of
kentuckians was encamped in the extreme
front some thirty miles beyond Crab Or
AeNA1 0N S0AAa y 49,
Almost every day messengers from Gar
rard came through OH their way to Camp
Dick Robinson with Information that the
rebel army of several thousand men were
approaching him at Camp Wildcat. a pass
in the mountains. His messages to me were
so anxious that / went to see him. He told
me hat Zollicoffer's army was advancing,
and insisted on my coming to his rescue or
assistance. At length L went, and sent for
orders from General Thomas. At once the
Thirty-third marched to Camp Wildcat. II
the orders aVaF "a me fhRV reached M fnn
late. 1t was a place well chosen for check
ing an invading force from the south.
Garrard's one regiment did check Zolli-
Golfers army, without fighting, for a few
days, until about six regiments and a bat
terry got there. So began the struggle in
Kentucky. The Thirty-third bore the brunt
OF the fight which took place on the 21st
of October. Next morning found the en-
envy on the line of retreat. We had a
council of war; every colonel expressed the
desire TO push on in pursuit. but our Gen.
Albin Schoepf. a Hungarian. had no stom-
ach for a fight and we lay still until the
rebel army got beyond Cumberland Gap.
We then advanced TO London in safety. l
think the rebel army could have been
ruined If we had pursued IL and that we
lost a great opportunity"

CITY AGAINST GAS COMPANY.
Supreme Court Hears Arguments of
Attorneys on Both Sides.

After hearing argument by counsel the
Supreme Court yesterday took under con-
sideration the case of the city of Indian
apolis against the Indianapolis Gas Com
pany. The complaint of the city against
the company, filed two years ago when
o w. Kern was city attorney. alleged
that the company had plenty of gas and
could supply it to the city, but was refusing
to do so. The new city attorney, Frederick
a. Joss, appeared with Mr.. Kern yesterday.
while Ferdinand Winter represented the
gas company.
Attorney Winter argued that the city was
not the proper party TO bring suit, as Il
was not a part of the city's duty to see
that gas was Supplied to its inhabitants
If any suit could be brought. il was argued
it must he by the subscribers of the com
pany who were injured because of an in
sufficient supply of gas.
Counsel for the city maintained that the
contract between the city and the gas
company made the city the proper party tC
bring suit. When the right to use the
streets of the city for private gain was
given the company it was agreed. they
said, that gas should be supplied to tbs
people in adequate quantities. Therefore
the city is the proper party to sue.

YELLOW

The directors Of the St. Louis Ex-
position have been having a discus
sion over a flag which shall combine
the eolors Of the United States. Spam
and France. They wanted to put in
the red, white. and blue for this eoun-
try, yellow for Spain. and the feur-
de-lis for France, but some of the d.
rectors had a violent objection to the
yellow. They said that if the people
saw that yellow streak in the flag they
might take it as an evidence of yellow
fever and be frightened. The Louis
vile Courier-Journap thinks that this
is unjust, and an unnecessary boycot
ting of q beautiful color.
Il may be, but yellow is a peculiar
kind of color, in its history. It's as
sociations, and It's elective afIinities
It is associated historically With
Spain and China, and neither the
Spanish nor the Chinese have had
any natural affiliations with Us. It
has been the signal for yellow fever
for good many years, and that Is
not a very pleasant idea to be mixed
up with.
Yellow got It's connection with jour
nalism through the yellow kid, which
was, Of course, pure accident; but in
the application Of the term yellow to
deeadent journalism there is a subtle
suggestion of the yellow of decay and
age.
Moreover, yellow IS not decora-
tive color except in certain combina-
tions. and too much of it in 4 room
is unpleasant unless it Is the dominat.
ing color, and even then it has 10 be
treated carefully. There Is something
about it that is trying. Contrast. for
example, 4 room furnished entirely
in red. or green, or blue, or pink
with one furnished entirely in yellow.
There Is something about yellow
which is more suited to the tropics
than to this climate.
