TREES DRINK LIKE HORSES.

Irrigation on the capillary attraction principle is now being investigated by the state board of horticulture, and the government experiment station at Fort Collins, with view to recommending 1t for adoption in this state. Fruit growers who have experimented with the scheme declare it to be entirely feasible and much more effective than the old way of feeding moisture to trees by way of the roots.
 F'lage Garter of Park county, the first person to try the plan in this time ago explaining the method of ir- rigating tree by capillary attraction. He takes a vessel, a pan or a bucket, or anything that can be tied to tree limb and will hold water. He fills it with water and then bends twig about the circumference of an ordinary lead pencil into the water. The Liquid will be rapidly absorbed by the twig, and in turn the water will enter the limb and soon permeate every part of the tree. The problem of keeping the vessels supplied with water is not a difficult one, for the reason that a half gallon of water will do as much irri- gating as many cubic inches under the present plan, the adherents of the scheme claim:
 Capillary attraction is the future of orchard irrigation" says the origin ator of the proposition. "I took up the matter two years ago, but did not put it into final test until this spring. Then had two trees that needed at tention badly, and I experimented with each. One young tree had been rubbed thoroughly by horse and was wilted badly. I applied my method of watering it and within one week it completely revived. next treated a sick apple tree, and now it is all, right, thanks to the capillary attraction prin- cipal-Denver Post.

WILKESBARRE, Pa. oct. 16.-Pres- ident Mitchell returned from Washing ton at a. m., and the executive board members of the three anthracite dis tricts of United Mine Workers of America began joint meeting here at 10 o'clock to consider proposition for ending the strike which Mitchell has laid before them with view of calling a delegates convention of the striking mine workers to pass upon it.

Wilson, who ar rived here yesterday; the three anthra- cite members of the national executive board, the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer of each dis trict, the seven board members from each of the upper and lower districts and the six board members of the mid dle district.

TRAVELLING IN ENGLAND.

A new terror has been added to rail way travelling. A friend of mine, (writes a correspondent was journey. ing the other day from Lancashire by the Midland. Three men got into the same compartment, the one in the mid de without his boots, being apparent ly prisoner. One of the guards, 8 young, muscular man, watched every movement of the prisoner intentIy, and not without cause, for within short time his hands. began to twitch, and the next minute he was struggling most violently with his attendants. The supposed prisoner turned out to be a raving madman, and my friend, the only other passenger in the compart- ment, was called upon to render help and prevent the commission of some terrible deed. Eventually the maniac was forced down, and his limbs were securely bound by the time the train reached Derby, where with the aid of porter he was conveyed to carriage III waiting. It is obvious that ladies traVel1ng under such circumstances must surfer serious shock A special compartment is quite as necessary for manlacs n1l as for bicycles. London Chronicle.

1.-THE WILD ROSE"

It IS the humble opinion of the writer ana he believes that it is shared by number of persons who were present al Polls last night, that Mrs Cornelius vanderbilt did not receive her moneys worth when she paid out about S5,OO0 for the presentation of saThe Wild RoSe," vehicle in which Miss Irene Bentley Is riding as a star, at New port one day several weeks ago. Perhaps the audience had anticipated too much and consequently their dis appointment was all the more keen. At any rate ''The Wild Rose'' styled a musical comedy in two acts did not please the audience very well, if one can properly judge from the applause which it received There is not superabundance of bright, catchy mu- sic in the comedy, in fact there are only two or three selections which are worthy of special mention. '"The Gypsy Maid" sung in Act I by Miss Bent1y and ''They Were All Doing the Same'' sung by MT Foy in Act IT were the only songs which were able to arouse any enthusiasm among the audience. The whole action of the play is superficial and of f1imsy na- ture. Hg ....
 But if the play IS only or meul- ocre nature, the same cannot be said of it's investure and of the company which presents it. Miss Irene Bent lev impressed the audience most favor ably with her captivating personal charms, her 1.-the and buoyant gaiety, her innate delicacy and her, dainty and bewitching manner. Her voice is sweet and resonant, though not very strong. She is captivating little comedienne. Albert Hart, who DOT trayed the part of Mahomet, a Gypsy Iothario. enacted the role to the satls- faction of those present. He possess es a rich, sonorous voice and used It 10 good effect last evening. Edwin Toy as Paracelsus Noodle, formerly sup feet for a travelling hypnotist, now III husiness for himself, was one of the fayorites last night. Miss Rose Beau mont is fairly acceptable in the char- acter of Vera Von Lahn. Miss Beau mont who sang rather well Nancy Brown" was considerably annoyed py the occupants of the gallery, who per sisted in whistling while she was try infr to sing. It was very annoylng and the gods only desisted when MISS pan+1av remarked that she wished to sinp and did not like any one to "hls- tie. ,o,,ondies are rather scarce in New lolA - 4,,a+ ssWild Rose" was the pest o.le 1'iS Mrs vanderbilt could ind Inere'

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

It is not to be wondered at that this weeks business at the Jacques is very large, considering the quality of the show that is being given with Milton and Dolly Nobles at the head of the bill. Manager Poli, however, is not content with providing a grand show, but proposes to do more for those who visit the Jacques tomorrow afternoon. Following his New Haven and Bridge port experience in the same direction, he proposes to distribute at to-mor- rows matinee an assortment of sou venirs in the shape of ping pong pen holders. everyone present being given one of these handsome reminders As there will be no school tomorrow this will make an excellent opportunity for the children to receive something that will be of use to them in their school work. The penholders are of glass with bulb and liquid inside which runs in the manner of the elu- sive ping pong ball and makes as much of a toy almost as an article of use Manager Poli gives out these pretty souvenirs at this time as an expression of his appreciation of the liberal patronage that has been ex- tended since he undertook the direc- fion of the performances at the Jacques. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, la dies 1p--

RENJES WITHOUT
ANY ALLEGIANCE
He Had no Citizenship Either
Here or at
Home.

Unless he has taken steps which have
not come to the hearing of his
old friends here, Mr. H. Renjes. for
many years in the firm of F. A. Schae-
fer & Company, who returned to Ger
many nearly three years ago, is a man
without a country, with all the attend
ant difficulties of such political condi-
ton.
The fact was brought out recently by
the development that August Dreier
had gone before Judge Estee for the
purpose of becoming an American citi-
zen, and that he had explained this
from the fact that Renjes had found
some difficulties in Germany. The fact
that Mr.. Renjes was in pililkia was
brought out in a letter to friend here,
some time ago. At that time Mr.. Rem
jes said that he found that it would
have been better for him il he had be-
come an American citizen while here
He said further that he had applied to
an American consul in Germany, but
there existed no way in which he could
secure an allegiance through such an
official.
Mr.. Renjes came to Hawaii nearly
thirty years ago. He spent more than
twenty-five years in this country un-
der Kingdom, Provisional Government
and Republic. finally leaving while the
annexation was in the transition per-
iod, without having ever foresworn al
legiance to Germany. Yet even this
would not have robbed him of his flag
had he made declaration before the
consul OF his country. But even that
formality he neglected and down to the
time of his departure he gave no
thought to his political condition. He
supposed he had a country, but it was
not So. for just as the Organic Act
made citizens of the United States all
who had been citizens of Hawaii I'M
der any form of government. a law of
his native land had withdrawn from
him citizenship in that country.
Ten years is the limit of absence from
the soil of Germany, either the home
footing or that which is taken in the
Office of the consul, during which Ger
There must be in case of continued alb
office Of the consul where the citizen
resides. which is equivalent to resi-
dence in a German possession.
All formalitfes being neglected in the
case of Mr.. Renjes. ne found himself at
the end a man without flag, and SO
lamented the fact that he was not an
American citizen after his years of res
idence away from his native land
However. the regaining of citizenship
in Germany Is much easier than its
loss. and Mr.. Renjes may return to his
early allegiance when he wishes.

the meeting of the corporation held
yesterday at the office of the legal rep
| resentatives of the Holt interests was
! fruitless of settlement. There was a
| fairly well attended meeting of the
| stockholders and the discussion of the
| affairs of the corporation was quite
| heated.
| The representatives present in per-
| son or by attorney were John D. Holt,
| ST.; John Emmeluth, DR.. Nichols and
William NJ. Cunningham. The former,
| through Attorneys Andrews, Peters &.
| Andrade, urged the surrender of the
| leases on the lands of the company,
which had been secured from the for
| mer. The point was made that the rem
! tails had not been paid and that there
was debt of taxes on the lands which
must be met, while there seemed no
| chance that the prosecution of the cor
poration was to be carried on at this
time.
To this course some of the stockhold-
ers objected. John Emmeluth was
agreeable to such a course, as it SEEM
ed impossible to carry on the plans for
the working OF the plantation The
others urged that the stockholders
should hold on to the lands for time
TO see If something would turn up. The
result was that the meeting adjourned
without the accomplishment of any
thing in the peaceful settlement of the
affairs OF the corporation.
This leaves the estate, as the owners
of the land under lease. with a chance
for n law suit. The attorneys say there
is no way in which they may hope to
secure control of the land without such
suit, and this course will be followed
If there is no other course taken by the
plantation company very soon. 1t was
further stated that there were against
the lands three years taxes, which
must be met by the owners of the land
and this coupled with the failure OF
revenues from the holdings, would
make the losses OF the Hollis quite con-
siderable. The fact that there seems
to be no development in sight makes it
further necessary for the owners, ac-
cording to the attorneys, to take steps
for the recovery of their land that they
may have opportunity to place it in
shape to earn them a return.
