General Alexander McDoweh Nc

Fowls For Reausy.

The most beautiful domestic bird Of
the poultry yard Is the peafowl. which
Is not commonly found on the farm.
Pcafowis are very hardy and long lived.
although the young arc as tender and
delicate as turkeys. They have a loud,
shrill call and are useful as Il protec-
lion against hawks. burglars and poul-
try thieves, for they make a great noise
when disturbed at night They have
great capacity to shift for themselves
Ind are extensive foragers, roaming
sver considerable territory in search OF
FOOD. In fact. their roaming propensity
Is the one great drawback to keeping
them, as they are worse than turkeys
In this respect. They do not are for
shelter except in the severcst weather.

Hi. only opportunity.

Coming downtown on an elevated ex-
press from Harlem last week the fol-
lowing impromptu lecture created con-
siderable amusement among the pas
sengers who heard 1t:
Look here, Bob. you are an excel
lent talker, and it is always a pleasure
to listen to you ut the proper time and
place. But there are 4 great many
things in this newspaper that I want
to know, and If / listen to you l shan't
know them until night. 81 haven't an
hour or two a day to read the paper in
my Office, as you have. If / don't read
1T low | shall have to take it home, or
maybe not read it at all. Now, keep
quiet, like a good fellow. Sorry you
haven't a paper. but I'll tear you off
the first page OF this one as soon as 1
have read it."

reading while hanging to a strap, and

was themselves were heartiess enough

very essential that the grower know
when the fruit is in condition to har-
vest, 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 Amer.
lean Agricu;turist:
The grower should prepare for the
pickers in advance. There is Il posi-
bility, unless the pickers are carefully
cautioDed at the beginning, that they
will put unripe fruit with the calyx
attached In the boxes, and they are
also very likely to make the boxes
vary a great deal in the size and ripe
ness 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 uni
form as possible. both in size anu ripe
ness Of the fruit. This is the only sue
cessfuImethod.
Raspberrics 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
delay In picking may often be the cause
of a great less, as the berries ripen
during the warmest weather, and IL ex-
posed 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 a dozen boxes.
There is another device recently In
vented, consisting OF a small wire ar
rangemcnt in which two quart boxes
can be placed. A strap or belt is at
tached 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 il a device
both desirable and convenient.
In some places where these crops are
grown extensively and are harvested
for evaporating purposes a small tray
Is used, the berries being knocked from
the bushes on 10 this tray by a stuffed
club. The tray is usually four or five

DEMOCRATS OF LOWER END
OF DISTRICT ON SAFE SIDE

The democrats from the lower end
of the Fourth supreme judicial dis
trict who met in convention at Quin-
cy yesterday decided to be on the safe
side in case the supreme court rules
against them in the effort to have
the action of the legislature in maxi
ing the reapportionment set aside.
After the convention of the old
Fourth district was held yesterday af-
ternoon nominating Judge w. L..
Nandeventer, of Quincy, for the SUI
preme bench, as stated in yesterdays
Argus, the committee from the new
Fourth met and called n convention
for that district at Bushnell April 20.
If the new district is sustained the
candidate nominated at Bushnell will
stand as the party's nominee. Fhe
lower end of the new Fourth, it is un-
derstood, will also support Vandeven-
ter.
Those who will have charge of, the
legal fight against the gerrymander
are: EX-Congressman Williams, of
Pittsfield; A. w. O'Hara, of Carthage;
Judge Thompson, of Jacksonville, and

nonnced that unusual honor had been
conferred upon n party of Rock Isl
inders who are touring in Europe. 1t
was nothing less than a private audi
ence granted by his holiness, Pope
Leo. to Mrs. Peter Fries. Mrs. James
Common, Mrs Theresa Robinson, Miss
Anna Robinson and Peter Connor, all
Of this city. The distinction of a pri-
vate audience with the pope is a great
one at any time. but of late owing to
failing health the aged pontitf has
been compelled to very much restrict
his audiences and those from this
city who were given the preference
NAV therefore consider themselves all
he more fortunate.

little more than two years. At such
a time the sun, the earth and Mars
are in a direct line, and the incident
is called an Opposition because the
sun and Mars are on exactly opposite
sides of the earth. The last 'opposi-

the earth is now nearer Mars than it

The earth is about 92,0O0.000 miles
from the sun, and Mars 139,000,000
miles; but the orbit of Mars is not
a circle around the sun, but is much
elongated. so that its distance from
the sun varies $4,000 miles. The or
bit of the earth is also somewhat
elongated, the variation being less
than 5000 900 miles.

The Rock Island &s Peoria trains
are running as usual again today, the
Bishop Hill trouble having been solv-
ed by the construction Of new track
over the top of the slide. Both sec
ton crews from Milan and those
from the other side of the break spent
the early portion of the week on the
track there. The trains yesterday
were able to run through, though not
on fast time. and as a result their ar
rival in Rock Island was somewhat
behind schedule time.

ment of the commission is as follows:
General officers have steadily re-
ceived higher pay. the average rising
from $7.S3 to $1O.97. Officers other
than general officers receive $3.50, in
stead of $7.S3. General clerks wages
