It may eb that none Of these seeds will
terminate. The next lot will be sent
packed i'm saw dust, and different eX-
periments will be made as to shipping
them. The alligator pear season will be
over in a couple of months and ship
ments will cease temporarily.
5. Mr.. Austin is my authority for
suggesting the following method of
planting:
No time should be lost in planting
these seeds Immediately after their re-
cept.
The root starts from the butt OF the
seed and the shoot comes out of the top
1t is suggested that the seeds be
planted in box or pot, in a sandy loan
or soil containing a good deal of sand.
Before putting the seed in the pot or
box, the crown or top of il should be cut
off with a knife about three-eighths of
an inch from the top, to give the shoot
chance to push its way through.
Seeds should be watered at least once
a day.
After the plant is about one foot high,
it should be transplanted into the
ground in which it is to grow. Almost
any soil will answer, but salt water in
shallow soil should be avoided.
In dry climates irrigation will have
to be resorted to for the young trees
Here in the Hawaiian Islands, trees
often bear in their second year.
6. 1t is requested that a copy of this
letter be sent to the various people con-
cerned and countersigned by each Off
cial of the Government who has inter-
ested himself in the matter.
Z. 1t is hoped that reports will be I'M
officially made to me here in Honolulu,
as l expect to remain here several
years, and intend to keep at this ques-
ton until results are achieved or until
it is shown that it is impossible to in
troduce the alligator pear into the Phil
ippines. In doing this, I am relying
entirely upon the courtesy of the steam
ship companies, the captains of the
various steamers, the Captain of the
Port at Manila, the Commandant of the
Naval Station, Cavite, the Commanding
officers of vessels of the U. S. Navy
and others who may interest them
selves.
Very respectfully,
A. p. NIBLACK,

sIGNMENT TOMORROW.

Lieutenant Commander Niblack, the
captain of the yard at the Naval sta
ton, Is interested i'm the proposition to
introduce the alligator pear into the
Philippines He has served i'm the Phil
ippines and states that there is no such
fruit grown i'm those islands. He is anx-
ious to receive the assistance of resi-
dents i'm the Hawaiian Islands and re-
quests that they send him seeds of the
alligator pear i'm order that he can
send the seeds out TO the Philippines.
He will send several hundred by the
Thomas tomorrow.
The following interesting letter on
the subject has been written by Com
mander Niblack, and gives the scope of
the plan:
U. S. Naval tation, Hawaii,
Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 9, 1908.
To Whom 1t May Concerns:
| 1. While serving in the Philippine
Islands from 1898 to 1901, I was very
much struck by the fact that there were
no alligator pears i'm the archipelago,
and that the character of the vegeta-
ton indicated that the alligator pear
tree would probably flourish.
2. Through the kindness of the Com
/ lltillulIlB OlllCtE VI lle transport
Thomas, I am sending some two hun
dred alligator pear seeds, wrapped in
oiled paper. He has been requested to
deliver the seeds to the Captain of the
Port in Manila, with a request that at
least half of them be sent to the Com
mandant of the Naval Station, Cavite,
for distribution to vessels of the Navy,
to be planted at such places as Cebu,
Iloilo, Zamboanga, Isabella, Pollak.
Olongapo and other places frequented
by ships of the Navy. 1t is requested
that the other hundred be planted in or
about Manila, preferably in the Botan-
| ical Garden
3. This action on my part is entirely
unofficial, and it may be that the au-
thorities, or even the Governor General
himself, may have to be consulted in
taking such step as introducing a new
plant into the Philippine Islands.
4. I have talked here with Mr. John
Austin of the Government Nursery as
to the feasibility of sending seeds to the
Philippines. Normally, seeds do not
keep longer than couple of weeks, and

must cause anxiety to many who are in-
 terested in Shakespeare and Stratford-on- Avon. permit me through your columns to let the public know the true facts. The houses in question are two red-
 brick buildings, neither ancient nor his
 torically interesting, of comparatively modern date, and certainly did not exist
 in Shakespeares day. The trustees of the
 birthplace Qncluding many who are truly
 anxious to preserve anything of interest
 in Stratford). have long intended, when
 funds would permit, to purchase and clear away these cottages and so isolate and
 further protect the birthplace. Mir. Car
 negie, hearing this, bought the property and wrote to the Chairman of the trus- tees, (the late Sir Arthur Hodgson). as follows: q cannot tell you how fortunate
 1 shall esteem myself if the trustees will accept from me the ground, to be added
 and preserved as part of the birthplace
 property"
 This generous offer was gladly accepted.
 and the site now occupied by these cot
 tages will become part of the birthplace garden.
 The free library Is to be built on land l between this and the Technical Schools partly now occupied by a house and shor
 belonging to the corporation. Edgar Flower, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Trustees of Shakespeare's Birth place.

TROUBLES WITH CANADA.
Fairbanks Seeks Reconvention of
 the Joint High Commission.

tho vOA1I GAA6A OSAhA4ASSAOh'
 Washington. Feb. ls.-It Is learned that Senator Fairbanks addressed Sir Will frid Laurier respecting a reconvention of the joint high commission as reported in the Canadian dispatches in pursuance of the program outlined when the Alaskan boundary treaty was ratified. Sir Wilfrid and Senator Fairbanks are respective ly chaIrmen of the joint commission and when that body adjourned in 1900 1t was with the understanding that it could be reconVened only by the mutual agree ment of the two chairmen.
 Senator Fairbanks was trying to effect this reconVention when he addressed Sir Wllfrid Laurier. but so far the answer of the latter to the invitation has not been received.
 The Alaskan boundary was the rock upon which the commission split at it's last meeting. However. the rule in such eases is to require the commission to adjust all or none of the questions sub mitted so all those other issues went down with the failure of the Alaskan boundary matter having been eliminated by arrangement to submit it to a special commission to take up again and ad- just the same propositions that were ur- der consideration when the joint high commission adjourned.
 Most important of these are the propo- sitions to amend the treaty of Washing ton so as to permit the building of war ships upon the great lakes; to define the boundaries in the rainy lakes section; to define the rights. of Americans and of Canadian fishermen on the great lakes; to regulate the use of the bonding privi- lege for goods in transit from one port of the country to another crossing part of the territory of the other country.

Meeting of Press Association.

The annual convention of the Alabama Press Association, which will take place in AnnistOn May q, will be one of the most important ever held by reason of the fact that just as the years multiply Alabama journalism progresses and im- proves in quality and quantity. and by further reason that in the past year the press of the State has made more strides than ever In its history.
 Of the meeting of the association there in May The Annlston Star says:
 "Annston will have as its guests in May the Alabama Press Association, the annual business meeting of the association converting in this city on May 2l The association Is composed of the editors of practically all of the newspapers of Ala bama and it Is counted usually an honor and a privilege by cities and towns to secure their annual gatherings.
 Tt is greatly to she advantage and profit of any city to have the Press Asso. citation meet in it. It gives to a city wider publicity and gains for it firmer friends than any other factor that could be brought to 1t,
 The newspaper men of Anniston, through their organization, the Anniston Press Club will do all they can to en- certain the Press Association and make the sojourn of its members a pleasant one In Anniston."

Mobiles Merry Mardi Gras.

he Infant Mystics request the hon. our of your presence at German Relief Hall Tuesday evening February 24 al eighty thirty o'clock, 1903.
 What flood of delicious recollectIons troops in with this handsomely engraved invitation from the dear old Mardi Gras Society of Mobile! The Infant Mysties with its grinning Maltese emblems of the honorable society for three decades and more.
 The grinning feline brings thoughts of golden days-of beautiful women, of gay costumes. of light and color, of joy su- preme.
 The Infant Mystics Is one of the oldest of the Mobile Mardi Gras societies. True it suspended four or five years but It's trlumphs of the earlier days fingered like the taste of mellow wine upon the palates of those who helped to win its victories and they reorganized the old society whose prestige Is just as potent now as 1t was in the days that were.
 The Order of Myths is another of the distinguished societies which contributes to festivities of Mobile at the Mardi Gras season. Its annual ball-a rival of the Mystics-is an event of the greatest social importance.
 But the Infants and the Mystics are not alone in paying homage to His Sublime Majesty. Felix, EmperoE of Joy. The Knights of Revelry, honorable with age, the Krewe of Cyrenlacs, the Order of Dragons and the intensely ludicrous Cow boy and his band will be there to nav tribute to the temporary ruler of the dear old town by Alabama's only arm of the sea.
