Farmers who have yiung orchards
should this time of the yar look our for
rabbits. These animals will not trouble
old trees but they do empty the taste of
the bark of a Young appb tree. They
may ruin an orchard of young trees in
a single night. There ar several ways
of protecting the trees, hit the method
now generally used is to wrap a piece
of fine wire screen abolt the trunk Of
the tree. This can be LIT on from the
time the tree is first pl.nted until big
enough to be ont of danger of the rab-
bits, il care is taken to give the tree
enough room. Paper, tIr paper lath
and different material used for this
purpose but nursery mn agree that
the wire netting is the bet of all.

REsuBM1ss10N DEFEATED.

It Gained But Two Votes in the House Over
Two Years Ago.
The debate on the resubmission of the
prohibitOry amendment was continued in
the House last Thursday morning. Among
the temperance workers present were Mrs.
L. NJ. n. Stevens and Miss Cornelia Dow of
Portland; Rev. Wilbur F. Berry, president
A. S. Bisbee of Brunswick.
The question came before the House in
the shape of two reports from the committee
on temperance. The majority report is
that the resolve for the resabmisSion to the
people of the prohibitory amendment to the
constitution ought not to pass. The report
was signed by Senators Dudley ofAroostook,
Pike of Washington, Titcomb of York,
Representatives Thompson Of China, Hill
of Winterport, Downing of Sorrento, Libby
of Mechanic Falls and Cole of East Liver
more. The minority report, that the resolve
ought to pass, was signed by Representa-
tives Kelley of Lewiston and Tartre of
Biddeford.
Speeches against the proposition were
Illdu0 ny MCSSIS. COlc VI East LIFcImOIc,
Downing of Sorrento, Thompson Of China,
Campbell of Cherryfeld and Libby of Me-
chanic Falls. In favor of resubmission
Messrs. Davis of Waterville, Dem, and SWEET
of Portland, Republican,, spoke ut length.
Mr.. Davis restated his position as set forth
by him previously. He criticised very sharp
ly Mills of Stonington, who had denounceda
long list of citizens of Waterville by name
and declared they were not law-abiding
citizens simply because their names were
French and not English. Mr.. SWEET of Port
land in his address criticised the acceptance
by the Kent's Hill seminary, of which Rev.
Wilbur F: Berry is president, of the money
made by Frank Jones in brewing and sell
ling ale in violation of law.
At the close Of the debate the question
came on the substitution Of the minority
report in favor of resubmission for the ma
jOrity report against resubmissiOn. The
vote was: Yeas 40, nays SO. Twelve men,
bers paired, their votes making the total 46
to "a.
When resubmissiOn came up in the Senate
Friday Senator Staples of Knox moved that
the two reports lie on the table and that
next Thursday be assigned for their con-
sideratiOn. Senator Randall thought that
the matter might be settled at once The
Senate was pOlled on the question and q
rising vote stood 10 to TO- Senator Burieigh
then came n and registered his vote for the |
Staples amendment pOstp0ning the consid- |
GRAFTON Of the matter until March 18th.

Dear Sir: There are several ways of

to water it, Nobody waters it now. A bet

But we needn't 60 into particulars.
You don't rob your milk and your custom

AS 70 NEGRO APPOINTMENTS.
Prominent Colored Men Call Upon Roosevelt
and Talk of the Matter.
(By the Associated Press.)

10Y IL ASSOt1dtCi fToSS.
Washington, Jan 24-President Rooso-
welt today received a call from William
Pledger, a we'll known negro politician.
of Georgia, and Bishop A. Walters. a
prominent colored church man, who de-
sired to discuss with him the general
subject OF the appointment of negroes
to Federal offices. The former is acting
president of the Afro-American Coun-
ell. the leading negro political organi-
cation of the country, and Bishop Wal
ters is chairman Of the executive COM
lnittee of the council.
They told the President that they
feared he was being embarrassed by
many pending claims of negroes OR
political performant and indicated their
intention, after consultation, with col
ored men throughout the country, to call
a meeting of the executive committee of
the Afro-American Council to be held
in this city for the purpose of devising
some means of regulating the claims OF
the cases of those who are not entitled
fairly to such consideration.
1t. is proposed to suggest to the cXccu-
tive committee the creation of a cen
trail committee of prominent colored men,
the duty of the committee being to pass
finally upon the claims Of negro appli-
cants for Federal appointment before
they are presented to the President. The
President did not indicate to his callers
what his views respecting their plan
were.

AT SUICIDE.
FIRST Of Five Suits against Durham Traction
Company.

Especial to the News and ObserverD
Durham. n. c., Jan. 23.-In the Superior
Court today the case of Kelly against the
Durham Traction Company, the first Of
five suits against the traction
set for trial at this term of court, was
on trial. The mOun asked fer, two
thousand dollars, Kelly claims for what
he says was a false arrest. He and sew
eral friends were on a car one night, and
the conductor reported that Kelly and
James Ray refused to pay their fares.
They were arrested. Both of the men
say that they paid their fares. One suit
will probably decide both.
During the present term of court -four
divorces have been granted. Eight more
divorce cases are on docket and will be
tried at the present term of court.
Miss Cordelia Rigsbee, in West Dur
ham, made an unsuccessful attempt to
end her life night before last. Lauda-
mum was used. This was her third or
fourth attempt. Bad health is given as
the cause for the rash act. She is now
out Of danger.

TO DEBATE IN RALEIGH.

Chapel Hill, y. c., Jan. 2i-The second
annual debate between the University
of North Carolina and John Hopkins
University will be held in Raleigh some
time during April, the exact date as yet
not having been agreed upon. The
question submitted by the boys of the
Monumental City is. Resolved, tina the
United States Merchant Marine should
not be Subsidized
The Johns Hopkins students have
chosen the affirmative, and the Tar
Heels will be found advocating the mega
tive. The question, however, being mega
lively stated gives the Carolinians in
reality the affirmative. This debate
will be holly and vigorously contested. as
the Northerners are yet smarting under
the severe and crushing defeat admin
istercd to them last year in their own
city, and are extremely DESTROYS of an
opportunity to divide collegiate honors.
The Tar Heels" too, are equally de-
termined, and the best available men
will be selected to represent the Uni
versity in this, her greatest debate.

Activity Among Diplomats.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 24.-An active eX-
change is going on between England ana
Venezuela, as reported by Mr.. Bowen,
respecting the ~iatter's proposal to raise
the blockade Of the Venezuelan ports as
q condition precedent to further nego-
ti&tions. The British Government is
showing an amicable spirit in this mat
ter. and there are hopes of q satisfac-
tory conclusion if Germany can be in
dueed to accept the agreement about to
he arrived at two Ambassador Her
bort and Minister Bowen. The German
Government, however, has so far re
turned no answer to Mr.. Bowen's prCpo-
sition. which fact is the subject OF IN
Ilcasant comment here.
1t Is learned that the guarantees of
fercd by MI. Bowen are regarded by the
United States Government as cminently
reasonable and sufficient. They include
a proposition by President Castro to
turn over the entire Venezuelan customs
system to the allies for the collection of
their indemnities and authorize the allies
to Place AZ official in each of the Nene-
zuelaa custom houses to make sure that
they secure their prope proportion of
the receipts.
Nenezuela's initial proposition to the
allied rCwCI3 remains unanswered by
Germany and tho blockade continues.
This is the situation in a nut she'll today
but ii is by no means indicated the dip
lcmatic activity in Washington at this
time. The feeling is increasing here that
unless the blockading squadron withdraws
from Venezuelan waters within a COM
Taratively short time grave complica-
tons may arise.
