DISEASES
OF S|SAL
Warning From the
Agricultural
Experts.

Lyster u. Dewey, botanist in charge
of fiber plants for the Department OF
Agriculture. writes as follows Of dis
eased fiber plants:
Washington, ID. c., December 16,
1902.
MIR. Jared G.. Smith, Director of Ex-
pertinent Station, Honolulu, Hawaii.
MY Dear Mr.. Smith: ! have Just
written to Knudson Brothers of Kauai.
Hawaii, cautioning them to look out
for the introduction of diseased plants
in the new sisal plantation which they
are starting, and ! write you. giving
you the same information, for | regard
1t as of the utmost importance to the
sisal industry in Hawaii that the intro
duction OF disease be prevented II pos
sible.
When / was In the Bahamas last
May, | noticed that there were, in q
few localities, indications of a diseased
condition of the sisal plants. | brought
back with me some specimens, and re-
ferred them to Mr.. Woods, who report
ed that there was a fungus on the
leaves, but that 1t was not in a condi-
ton for determination. Recently
have received from one of the principal
sIoWtiS LII tUc DdlldIIldS d ltJltT StdI-
ing that while the diseased condition
seems to be confined to small areas, 1t
is slowly spreading. and is causing
some alarm lest 1t may in time prove
destructive.
"The symptoms are described as fol-
lows: 'Yellowish spots or patches first
appear on the leaves. These spots
spread The leaf gets dry and curls,
usually about half way down from the
point, the edge of the leaf becoming
pnkish in color. In a week or two.
sometimes longer, the leaf dries and
becomes black and hard. Usually the
upper half of the leaf is affected, the
lower half remaining green much
longer. Sometimes the funnel. as it
is called in the Bahamas. consisting Of
the unopened leaves, is attacked at the
tip. The disease usually affects only
five or six inches of the upper part OF
| the funnel, but sometimes extends clear
| to the base This condition has not
been observed in the Bahamas until
within the past year. It may have ex-
listed there before, but to so small an
extent as to be regarded as of no i'm
portance.
| "I'would suggest that the sisal grow
| ers OF the Islands be warned in regard
| to the possible introduction OF such
diseases. and that they be urged to go
through their plantations and, II any
sisal plants are found exhibiting symp-
toms Of the character described. tina.

subject. may obtain such by CORE.

THE WORD OF HONOUR.

The men who do as they say;
the things that prove to be what
at they were said to be,-how
cheering it is to come upon them.
We all hate to be deceived; es-
pecially when the deception is in
territorial. But all men are not
liars, even if David did say so in
his haste. If they were society
would be impossible. Everybody
knows that business is based
on credit, on faith. Millions are
bought and sold daily on nothing
more solid than the pledged pro-
misses of men,-not written, mere
ly verbal. The Stock Exchanges
are often called nests of gamblers,
yet nowhere is a promise held
in greater honour. Therefore
when we say that the tried and
effective modern remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
never deceives any who resort to
it in hope Of benefit and cure, we
may expect to be believed. For
this assurance is given on what it
has done in the past in countless
cases, Son its record. 1t is only
recommended to accomplish what
it was made to accomplish. Its
action in Chlorosis, Anemia, La
Grippe, General Debility, Throat
and Lung Troubles, Blood I'm

He obeyed the Injunction, pushed

Los ANGELES, December 27.-Jessie
Benton Fremont, one of the oldest and
most respected women of the West, is
dead. The widow of the famous Path
finder, Colonel John c. Fremont, sank
into her last sleep, after spending the
evening, in this place, of her long and
eventful rs years of life.
Mrs. Fremont was the daughter of
Missouri's illustrious son, Thomas II.

Of the forties of the recent century,
leader in the conquest of California in
1916, the Republican party's first candi-

The marriage in 1841 OF the dashing.
ambitious and intrepid Lieutenant FIRE.
mont to the beautiful, brilliant and
popular Jessie Benton, the II year-old
daughter OF Missouri's senior Senator,
was an event which attracted almost
as much attention throughout the
country as did the contest then under
way between Tyler and the Wing party,
which elected him Vice President on
the ticket with Harrison, and who went
to the Presidency on Harrison's death.
The marriage advanced Fremont's for

assignment for the exploration of the

WRAPPED IN FLAMES
Thrilling Experience of Engineer and
 Fireman

New York-With cab and tender ablaze and engineer and fireman hud- dled on the platform of the car behind, with the flames sweeping toward them, the Washington express over the Pennsylvania raced toward Jersey City Friday night for thirty miles with the engine's throttle wide open. The express arrived at New Brunswick ten minutes late, and Conductor J. M. Mooney ordered the engineer to make up the time. Fireman Searles side of the cab caught fire from the back draught of the fire box after leaving Metuchen. In response to his shouts Engineer Lyons went to his aid, but before the engineer could regain hold of the lever to shut off the power the cab was a roaring fur mace.
 The men fled to the tender but were pursued by the fire in the coal box. They then returned to the platform of the first car. Lyons fought his way back to the engine, which was running at terrific speed, and managed to start the whistle cord. The blazing engine was then rushed to the Railway yards. The shrieking of the whistle alarmed the passengers. One of them, Sherman Lewis, of New Brunswick, grabbed the emergency brake rope and stopped the train. The passengers had stampeded; with a rush they had made for the doors to get to the rear, but were stopped by prompt work of the crew.
 The woodwork of the cab was de- stroyed. Another engine was hitched on and the train reached Jersey City an hour late.

TREATY NEGOTIATIONS
Have Been Resumed by American and
 Chinese Commissioners

Shanghai-The American and Chi nese commissioners have resumed their treaty negotiations, the Ameri- cans having withdrawn their objection in which they refused to negotiate unless the Chinese commissioners were granted full powers. The Japa- nese commissioners are restive at the slowness and the barren results of the negotiations due to Chinese indiffer- ence.
 The American commercial treaty, which has just been handed to the Chinese commissioners, stipulate that Peking, Mukeen and Takusan, near the Yalu river, be opened in the manner that the treaty ports are opened. It provides for the safeguard ing of commercial interests in Man churia and for the abolition of the likin tax and all native customs stations, excepting those on the frontier. It provides also that the tax on imports shall be 10 per cent; that no further taxes shall be imposed on exports, the maximum being 7A per cent: that there shall be no inter- ference with the Chinese tax on their

Exciting Trip Through the Air

Bangor, Me.-Ransom Alfred, ma cinist, completed monster kite, a couple of days ago, and came near losing his life, while testing it. The kite is nine feet long, made of cedar and covered with canvas. As it was being sent up, Alfred's feet caught in the rope, and as the huge kite suddenly scared skyward, the man was whisked off his feet, and in an instant was dangling head downward 60 feet in the air. Suddenly the kite began to dive and Alfred was flung to the earth. He landed head first in deep snow bank which broke his fall. He was badly shaken up, but not seriously injured. The kite, when last seen, was headed for the forests of Ariostook.
