Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
ROCKVILLE, Md, June 26. 1903
At special meeting Of the mayor and
council Of Rockville 1t was decided to con-.
tract with Jos. Schneider of Baltimore to
light the streets ofRockville with electricity
Under the terms of the agreement he is to
take charge of the power house. install new
and up-to-date machinery and light the
town for 81, 500 per year. He will also fur
nish lights to private parties at a reasona-
BILE cost. The contract also provides for the
operation OF the pumping station. This will
be operated by Schneider at his expense
and he will receive 81. 200 annually for Is COO
gallons daily and for each one thousand
gallons over this amount he will be paid
seven and half cents.
1t was also voted to increase the tar rate
20 cents. making it 80 cents. This was
found necessary in order to comply with
the law in regard to the sinking fund and
interest on the bonded Indebtedness. Judge
Henderson and Lawyers e. c. Peter and
w. v. Bouic were present and agreed that
the duty of the town in this matter is i'm
perative.
It is stated that Mr.. Schneider contem-
plates establishing an ice plant and steam
laundry here at an early date.
Among those who took the recent exami-
ored public schools of Montgomery county
were the following: Catharine Smith. Jen-

CANDIDATES LOOMING UP.
Campaign on for Office Of Commander
in-Chief, s. W, v,

Candidates for Communicated chief of the
National Army and Navy Spanish War Vet
erans to succeed Col M. E. Urell of this
city. are being announced Indiana has two
Richmonds in the field, Col, Harold c. Me-
grew of Indiana polls and Capt William E.
English. Col. Megrew is the present senior
vice cOmmander-in-chief, and it is urged
that, all things else being equal. he should
be elected, as he is next in line of success
sion. Capt English is a member of the
rival association, the Spanish-American
War Veterans which will, it is said, be
united with the older organization before
the national convention is held. A promi-
nent officer of the Spanish War Veterans is
urging the election of Capt. English. He
says his election will effectually heal all
differences which have heretofore existed
between the two organizations. During the
war with Spain Capt English served on
Gen. Wheeler's staff. He refused to draw
his pay. and when a salary check of about
So 600 was finally sent him he declined to
accept it. with the remark that he had not
served his country for pay, but through
motives that should actuate every American
who loves his country and it's flag.
1t Is stated that New York may have a
candidate for commander-in-chief in the
person of Col. Champe 8. Andrews. the
present junior vice commander in-chief, and
that Ohio. which state failed to secure the
election Of Col. Chopp Of Cleveland last
year, will again place a candidate in the
field. There is some prospect. too. that a
Michigan man, perhaps George T. CASTOR,
may be entered ia the race. 1t appears to
be a certainty however, that the two In
diana men, English and Megrew, will be
candidates for the highest place in the or
ganization. lo4
There havoc been four commanders-in in
chief since the organization of the Spanish
War Veterans In this city, September 8.
1890 The first nominees for that Office were
Col. Theodore Roosevelt. the governor of
New York, and Gen. j. Warren Keifer of
Ohio Col Roosevelt was defeated by
narrow margin whereupon one of his sup
porters declared THAT is the coloneIs first
defeat" and Gen. Keifer was Indicted into
the office. Byoa coincidence Col. M. Emmett
Urell. the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. was
also defeated in the first convention for the
place of junior, vice commander-in-chief.
by Col. James III. Tillman, late lieutenant
governor of South Carolina. The second
commander-in-chiefw was Lieut.. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles. U. S. A.. and the third Gen. Will
lam H. Hubbell Of Brooklyn, N. Y. who
died August %. 1902, while serving his term
of Office.

MATERIAL FOR QUART BOX

at all during the middle of the day they
suffer considerably.
Quart boxes are largely used. These
are placed in a small hand tray or stand
generally used by strawberry growers.
They hold half dozen boxes. There is
another device recently invented, con-
sisting of a small wire arrangement in
which two quart boxes can be placed.
A strap or belt is attached which allows
it to be strapped about the waist of the
operator, with the boxes in front. The
picker then has the. use of both hands
and can do much more rapid work. 1t is
a device both desirable and convenient.
In some places where these crops are
grown extensively and are harvested
for evaporating purposes small tray
is sued, the berries being knocked from
the. bushes onto this tray by a stuffed
club. The tray is usually four or five
feet long and three feet wide, made OF
canvas. The boxes are generally placed
in crates holding Is to "a quarts, the
latter being the standard size, as shown
in the first cUt.
The material for the quart boxes can
be purchased in the fiat, as shown in the
second cut, A and B, and made up as
shown in G of same figure. A shows the
side which is bent at the four vertical
marks B is the bottom. G shows the

ity, unless the pickers are carefully eau
toned in the beginning, that they will
put unripe fruit with the calyx attached
in the boxes, and they are also very like
ly to make the boxes vary great deal in
the size and ripeness of the fruit. Small
green berries will often be placed in the
bottom of the box with, large ripe fruit
on top. 1t is very essential that boxes
should be put on the market as nearly
uniform as possible, both in size and
ripeness of the fruit This is the only
successful method.
Raspberries should be gathered in
the early morning, so the berries can
be placed on the market before the heat
of the day, or be shipped so as to reach
their destination that day. A little de-
lay in picking may often be the cause
of great loss, as the berries ripen dur

tiveness and CheerfuIness to
the Apartment.

A day nursery should be finished and
furnished to please the children, and
for this purpose nothing can be more
suitable than wall paper showing in
teresting pictures. These pictures
may be children at play, household pets
or even scenes from the famous
Mother Goose. This paper should only
be used for the lower part of the wall,
forming dado above which Is plain
paper which makes good background
for framed pictures, says the Home
Magazine.
A nursery rug is a source Of enjoy
ment to the wee one who has not yet
learned to walk. This is made by sew
ing figures of animals, flowers, toys, ETC..
upon foundation of thick cloth. The
cloth may be the best parts Of mems
worn clothing, neatly pieced together
and the seams pressed open. The fig-
ures to be app1iqued to the foundation
should be first stamped on cloth as near
as possible to the color of the animal or
other thing to be represented. Work the
edge of the figure in buttonhole stitch
with thread of the same color. Any
kind OF thread, so that 1t is coarse and
Of the right color, will answer the pur-
pose. Cut out the figure just outside
the stitching and haste it in position on
the foundation, remembering that the
baby will sit in the center Of the rug
and view the picture from that point.
A space may be left plain in the CEN

cross stitch in red marking cotton.
Fasten the figures to the foundation
with overland or butonhole stitches and
work a row of red stitching outside to
correspond with the one at the edge of
center, then line the rug and bind it
with red braid. This rug can be washed
in warm suds, well rinsed and dried so
as to be as good as new and it will last
long time.
Don't forget to put low couch of
some kind in the nursery and dress it up
with pillows like mamma's room" One
of the pillows could be of white duck
with figures of brownies outlined in red
marking cotton and another should
show two or three Kate Greenaway fig
ures. One pillow should have bunch
of flowers to encourage love for ar
tistic things, but be sure that they are
true to nature, for there are no more
exacting critics than children.
The pictures for the walls should be
chosen with an eye to their artistic
value rather than to their rich coloring.
1t is hard to instill an appreciation for
true art into the, mind of one who has
seen and admired only highly colored
daubs in his nursery days. Give the
nursery pretty, bright colors, but do not
choose combinations that will clash
with each other.
Plenty of low chairs and stools are
necessary, also low table to CORE
| spond with the chairs.
A bare floor with plenty of rugs is
best for this room, as there are liable
to be accidental Stops of all sorts where
SO much play goes on. If the floor is
stained with one of the wood stains and
then oiled 1t will look nice and be easily
kept clean.

JUST BLUFFING, THAT'S ALL.
She Wasn't Afraid of the Turkey
Looks So Long as He Couldn't
Bite.

my children didn't really enjoy their
vacation at the old farmhouse this sum-
mer," remarked the middle-aged New
Yorker, who had just returned from his
vacation, relates the Times. cat least
they did not enjoy the first part of it.
And this lack of pleasure was due to the
mighty bluffs at ferocity put up by the
various feathered inhabitants of the
barnyard.
81 was brought up in the country my
self, so l never had realized what experts
at bluffing the ROSTERS, turkeys, and
even the hens and pigeons are until
saw the effect on city children.
Nov, there certainly isn't more
harmless, inoffensive creature in the
world than the domestic goose. But the
first day the children went into the barn
yard the geese stuck out their necks,
gave series of quacks, and rushed at
them with outspread wings. 1t was all
a bluff, pure and simple. If the children
had stood still the geese wouldn't have
come within ten yards of them. But the
children didn't realize this One and all
they turned and fled from the supposed
assaults of the bloodthirsty geese. 1t
was then that their little country
cousins had the long and loud laugh on
them.
you couldn't blame city youngster
for feeling bit afraid of big turkey
gobbier, for when he ruffles up his neck
and puffs himself up he is an imposing
object. Yet it is all bluff, for the gobbler
would run from the smallest baby that
wasn't afraid of him. The pigeons, too,
seemed to appreciate that the city chill
dren were easy subjects for country
barnyard bluffs and would swell out
their feathers and come toward them,
cooling in very belligerent manner.
''But after the children had been
there couple of weeks they began to
appreciate that the warlike attitude OF
the different fowls was simply an enor-
nous bluff Then they took revenge for
their first fright by chasing the geese,
turkeys and ROSTERS all over the place.
| asked my five-year-old daughter if she
wasn't afraid the turkey would bite her.
Afraid? Why. l should say
wasn't. He looks terrible fierce, but
looks can't bite anyone

she had seen Mr.. Turkey Gobbler's bluff

HANDLING BUSH FRUITS.
That should he Remembered
n Year Hence. n

The growing OF small fruits, such as
raspberries and blackberries, requires
considerable skill and great deal of at
tention. None of the small fruits needs
to be SO rapidly gathered and marketed
as these, on account of the perishable ma
ture OF the fruit. 1t is very essential
that the grower know when the fruit is
in condition to harvest, as one or two
days delay means the loss of the entire
crop. In line with the foregoing, an
Iowa grower furnishes the following
hints in the American Agriculturist:
The grower should prepare for the
pickers in advance. There is a POSSIBLE
