LAURA KEENe'S DREAM.
"A Vision I'm Siumber That Was Turn
ed Into "a Reality.

Stuart Robson used 10 tell a strange
story of Laura Keene. with whom he
played i'm the sixties In the last centu-
ry. The sight of bottle of red ink
was enough 10 upset her for week"
he said. ION one occasion we were
playing a farce called The Lady and
the Devil An important scene of IL
was when she was sitting at "A table
preparatory 20 writing n letter. |, as
her servant. stood at the back of
chair. Take your right hand off that
chair she whispered. The stage dia-
logue proceeded. You are sure you
can find Don Rafael at his lodgingsT
Yes, madam; his servant tells me his
wounds will confine him TO his bed for

we have? Where is the INK Here,
madam And | bent forward TO place
the ink within her reach, when, in my
confusion at her reproof, the vessel
was upset and its contents trickled
on TO the lap of her satin dress. The
ink was blood red. ! shall never for
get the CHASTITY look that overspread
her face. and | was so frightened that
/ never knew how the scene ended
THE next morning at rehearsal she
told me was doomed 10 III luck for the
remainder of my days. She called the
company together and gave them a de-
tailed description Of the awful scene
the night before occasioned by the
young man who would never make an
actor. She told of q terrible dream she
had had in which some great person
had been foully murdered before her
eyes; how she had attempted rescue
without avail; how he had fallen dead
at her feet. and how his blood slowly
ooZed into her lap. 1t was two years
after this that Miss Keene was play
ing at FOrd's theater, Washington, on
the occasion when Abraham Lincoln
was shot Miss Keene was the only
person who seemed TO realize the sit
uation. She ran TO the box, and in
moment the head of the dying man
was in her lap, while the scene of her
dream was being pitifully enacted."-

Clerks as Vine Trimmers.

In May of every year the wineries
IN the neighborhood OF East Finch
ley and Barnet, England, give en-
ployment to hundreds of unemployed
clerks and statesmen who go out from
London. They are engaged in trim
ming the clusters OF vines, removing
all ragged edges and tainted fruit.
For this labor, which is done in a
high temperature, the men receive
about s6.75 a week, out of which
they pay their own board and lodg-
ing. The vine growers prefer unem-
ployed clerks for this work, which is
OF a nature too delicate to be under
taken by "horny-handed" help.

HORTICULTURAL.
DEPARTMENT.

year posts are set in rows, north and
south if practicable, forty to sixty feet
apart, six feet out of the ground, and the
lower wire stretched three from the
ground and the vines tied with Irvine;
cultivation as at first, but no other crop
raised. The third year the upper wire is
strung and the same cultivation as be-
fore, and fair crop is expected but not
full one until the fourth season. Prun-
ing is done from November to April and
must be done thoroughly and with much
care.
The life of a vineyard. well started and
properly cared for, is claimed to be of
great length, as good crops Of grapes
have been raised here on the same piece
of ground for thirty years and no sign
of exhaustion.
As to the question of manuring or fer
tilizing the ground opinions and eXper-
fences differ. G. ID. Lawton before the
horticultural society said:
81 have raised grapes on the same land
twenty-five years in succession without
manuring and the last crop was as good
as any of the rest"
\. c. Glidden, an authority on grape
culture says
"If ! could / would give my vineyard
a good coating of barnyard manure once
in ten years. | think that would be all
that is necessary to obtain the best re-
suits"
Some get good results from CONNER
cial fertilizers, while others argue that
any manuring of the soil is unnecessary,
but is a detriment instead of a benefit.
The sowing of rye in the fall, to be
plowed under the next May, is practiced
by a large majority of grape growers
here. Conservative men figure that the
expense of raising an acre of grapes
cultivation, roots, posts, wire, etc.-for
three years is forty dollars. The fourth
year they calculate to harvest an average
of three to four tons per acre, and so on
year after year, with no expense except
renewal of decayed posts and harvesting
and marketing.
In baskets from 80 to 1000 eight
pound baskets are gathered from an
acre when i'm full bearing. Last season
these baskets were worth i'm the local
markets here fourteen cents per basket.
Over 200 carloads were shipped from
this grape center last year. They have a
well organized fruit growers association,
which is constantly on the lookout for
the best markets and shipping facilities,
and other matters of interest to its pat
rous.
In addition to the markets that they
have had heretofore, six factories are in
process of construction for the extract
ing of the juice of the grape and making
an unfermented table beverage that is
coming to be much sought after These
factories will have a daily capacity of
nearly million gallons. a good deal of
wine is being made also. These factories
are offering thirty dollars per ton for all
the grapes they can contract to be
delivered this fall.
Hardly any other variety of grape is
raised about here except the Concord, y
which has become a standard and made
such "A reputation that it is specially
quoted on Chicago markets. Buyers are
in evidence by the hundreds and the de-
mand seems to exceed the visible supply,
and with the factories and basket sales,
no danger of overstocking the market is
apprehended. john w. BRAKEMAN.

The last contract between the min
ers and operators of Alabama expired
on July 1. Repeated conferences iust
before that date failed to effect an
agreement on new contract, and ac
cordingly, on July 1, work was sus
pended at the mines. The miners had
made demand for an increase OF
cents per ton in wages, eight hours tc
constitute a days work and semi
monthly pay days. The operators de
clined to grant these demands, but Of
fered to increase wages 2i5 cents PEI
ton and to grant none OF the other de
mands. The miners refused this of

ference was held and all propositions
were withdrawn, and it was agreed to

exactly what is to be arbitrated.
All agree that the wage question
eight-hour days and semi-monthIy pay

is some differences of opinion among
the interested parties as to whether
or not other questions beyond these
shall come within the jurisdiction oi
the board. The board will hold two
sessions daily, one of two hours In
the morning and another of three
hours in the afternoon. The sessions
are open to the public. Work at the
mines, which was resumed a week
ago, will continue, both sides having
agreed to abide by the decision of the
aTbitrators and the miners now al
work are to be paid according to the
scale fixed by the arbitrators, which,
however, is to be retroactive to that ex.
tent.
A large number of witnesses are to
be examined and the sessions Of the
board are expected to last about three
weeks.
