Mr.. BENTLEY HERE.
VIII Try to Organize Actors
Church Alliance.

At Grace Cathedral Sunday Rev.
Walter E. Bentley, general secretary
of the Actors Church alliance, will
preach the sermon. Mr. Bentley is in
Topeka to interest church people and
laymen in the organization of a local
chapter of the Alliance, the activity
of which is calculated for the better
ment of the surroundings under which
members of the theatrical profession
work On Sunday evening he will be
at the Good Shepherd in North To-
peka. On Monday morning Mr.. Bent
ley will address the Ministerial union
and at p. m. Monday he will have
charge of a meeting at the National
hotel for the organization of the pro-
posed chapter.
Membership in the Alliance may be
secured upon the payment of a fee of
81. There are now about 5000 members
in this association, this membership be-
ing divided about equally ebtween mem
bers of the profession, ministers and
laymen. Mr.. Bentley is particularly
active in interesting layInen in his
work as it is largely through the in
fluence that can be exerted by this
class that he hopes to secure the OBJ
5ects of his society. Mr.. Bentley was
at one time an actor. but left the stage
for the pulpit and an ordained Epis-
copal minister. In a small circular
sent out by the Actors Church alliance
its president, H. c. Potter, says:
THE Alliance views with keenest ap-
prehension the serious inroads that are
being made in this respect by the open
ing of theaters of all kinds on Sunday.
In many states where theatrical per-
formances are prohibited on that day
recourse is had to all sorts of subter-
ruges to evade the laws; and in many
other states where no restriction exists.
all theaters are open as on weekdays

Judge Hamilton made a ruling in po-
lice court last evening which does not
meet the approval of the police, all
though it is undoubtedly right, legally.
1t was in the case of resisting an Off
cer'' against Will Gay, a colored joint
list and gambler. Some time ago Off
Ger James arrested negro named Rich
ardson, who was a member of a gang
who were fighting. The officer was
alone and the negroes were numerous.
Among them was Gay, who took an ac-
tive part in interfering with the Off
Ger. A warrant charging Gay with in
reference was issued, and Policeman
Hutton picked him up. He was fined
$40. But at that time he fought Hut
ton all the way to the station. and got
smashed for his trouble. He was again
charged with resisting, and the trial
came off last night. 1t was then learn
ed that although the warrant was is
sued Hutton did not have it in his pos
session when he captured Gay, and the
court ruled that Gay had a right to
resist, as the officer was not armed
with a warrant. This ruling is a nuis-
ance to the police. If one officer has
the warrant, the entire balance of the
police might see the victim, but are
not allowed to arrest him unless they
go hunt up the man with the warrant.
Meanwhile the prospective prisoner
may emigrate to other parts of the
country. Under the ruling Gay was
discharged.

won for Rev. White a sore head and
shattered nerves last night.
All the disturbers who were arrested
were let go on their own recognizance
by the sergeant, and the case set for
hearing in police court this afternoon.
At an early hour this morning a swarm
of belligerents from both sides of the
divided church called on the county at
torney for warrants against the other
side. They were all refused, and told
that as long as they did not kill or
MAIN each other the fun could proceed.
All the bars and fixtures taken from
joints which have been piled in the

A number of joint raids were made
last night. Among the Spoils captured
by the officers were three cash regis
tiers, one of them from Otto Anderson's S,
another from George Anderson's, at SIS
North Kansas avenue and the third
from the Frank Raynor place. Raynor
was arrested twice in fifteen minutes.
The place was raided twice yesterday,
and he was not present either time. so
when they found him they booked him
on two counts. At Nick Lonergan's
place they found two kegs, one con-
tanning Rochester hop tea, and the 9TH
er Schlitz beer. The other jointists
arrested were F. Webb, D. Lewis, Otto
Anderson, Carter Mann and Fred Bren-
ner. The police made another call this
morning at BIS North Kansas avenue,
the Geo. Anderson place where D.
Lewis was arrested last night, and
found signs of a renewal of business
but no keeper. A small jug of the very
worst kind of whisky and one glass
were discovered among the debris left
by the officers when they cleaned out
the place last night. The booze was
confiscated.

Curing Sorghum.

Prof. ConneH of Texas recommends
the following method of curing sorg-
hum for hay: After moving. allow
the sorghum to lie upon the ground
sufficiently long to dry out at the ends
of the blades. If the crop is thick 1t
should be turned over upon the ground
to expose the bottom portion of the
crop to the sun for a short time; usual
ly one to three or four days sun is
required to dry it sufficiently to put it
in the cock These hay-cocks may be
five feet high and four feet in dame
ter of the shape of the old-fashioned
bee hive. All the hay that is put up
in this manner should be we'll settled
as it is laid on the pile. After having
constructed it to the proper height,
rake the loose sorghum away from
the side, leaving a neat pile of sor-
ghum hay that will turn water in case
it should rain. Allow it to remain in
this shape for two or three days for
fermentation to take place, which is
evidenced by the heating and the de-
post of dew upon the interior parts of
the cook. When thoroughly warm
and before the hay loses its natural
color, open the cock and expose the
hay to four or six hours sun, accord
ing to the weight of the crop to the
acre and the size of the cock. Then
the hay is ready to haul to the barn
or be placed in stacks, where it may
safely be expected to remain without
moding or heating seriously. If the
season should be rainy it will take
longer than this to properly cure the
crop. Use no salt or other applica-
tions to preserve the product"
The few experiments made show
that the best time to cut sorghum for
age either green or drY when we can
consider both quality and quantity, is
when it is in the bloom. Well grown
and properly cured sorghum is highly
relished by stock, and being easily
grown and a heavy yielder, it COM
mends itself as a good substitute for
corn fodder as roughage and in some
respects it is even superior.

A New Bordeaux Powder.

The spraying of fruit trees. vines and
garden crops for fungous diseases and
insect enemies has become a necessity
among commercial fruit growers. Per-
haps the most successful mixture that
has ever been discovered for the de-
struction of fungous diseases is liquid
Bordeaux mixture. So valuable is this
mixture that commercial fruit growers
owning very large orchards have gone
to great expense to spray their trees
with this preparation. During certain
wet seasons the liquid spray has not
proven efficient. Where the orchards
are very large and the land billy, as
in some sections of Missouri the APP
plication of water becomes an exceed
ingly expensive, sometimes impossible
operation. This has led some fruit
growers in this state to endeavor to
find a dust powder which might be
busted upon the trees for the purpose
of destroying fungi.
The methods of preparing the dry
Bordeaux mixture have not so far been
satisfactory. The chemical composition
of the resulting powder has not had
the same fungicidal effect as the liquid
mixture. The chemist of the Missouri
station hos for some time been endeav-
oring to perfect a method of prepar-
ing the dry Bordeaux mixture so that
the resulting compound would have ex-
actly the same desirable chemical COM
position as the liquid preparation. Dur
ing the early spring so many inquiries
were received at Columbia upon the
subject that the chemist to the station
took up the matter seriously, with a
view to making powders which would
take the place of liquid agents The
rsult of this investigation is a very
fine powder, which contains copper in

Celery in FIorIdn.

An association was formed and some
land bought and cleared some two
years or more ago; a test well put
down and it was found that flowing
water could be easily obtained in any
required quantity; and at less expense
even then had been anticipated; but
having had no experience in celery
growing. the first attempt was a fall
ure.
With a mere looker-on growing cell
cry would seem as simple as any other
garden crop, but il is soon learned
that it requires a knowledge of the
business TO make a success as 1t does
of most anything ele. One of their
number went to Sanford and renting
piece of ground, put in a crop of
celery right among those we'll versed
in the business and by careful obser-
vations raised a good crop of celery
and some lettuce, and came home to
carry out what he had learned on the
new ground that had been cleared.
The first thing he did was to put
in tile drain on a five-acre lot and fit
the ground by planting potatoes and
COW peas and working the soil as il
needed Last winter the first crop OF
any extent was put out, consisting of
about FIVE acres. The young plants
started off well and promised to make
good crop, but it was soon discover
ed that the soil was yet too new and
had not been TILED enough to take
