NOVEL METHOD
TO KILL WEEDS
Au EXterminatOr Having
Practical Effect.
HARDENS EARTH; STOPS MUD
out-of- Town Correspondent Informs
Commissioners How to Eradicate
Big Nuisance.

y way in which the weed problem may
be solved has been called 10 the atten-
ton Of the District Commissioners. Just
when the people OF the District ard the
officials OF the Health Department had
given up TO the thought that this sum-
mer the vacant lots Of the city would be
tangled iuugles as a result of the Health
Department discovery that IL did not
have the money to remove the weeds. "a
letter came to the Commissioners from
au out OF town firm saying II could fur
nish II preparation that would NOW
down the weeds satisfactorily.
The great recommendation advanced iE
favor of this new discovery, Is that it
will, on one application. destroy for a
period OF two years, weeds in vacant
lots. streets and cutters.
Will Harden the Earth.
In addition TO this It is claimed, it
VIII harden the ground so that mud in
the winter time will be almost an I'M
known factor In the life Of the subur
banite.
The cost Of DISCRIMINATING weeds in
this manner, say fits inventors. viii be
about per cent less than that Of any
other method employed The District
officials have taken no final action in the
matter as yet.
To some the prospect Of standing on
back porch and scattering weed exter-
minators over vacant lots presents a de-
lightful view. To others II seems almost
too good TO be true. Still others are OF
the Umorous opinion that nothing can
kill weeds for space Of two years. The
whole affair has caused much discus
sion. and there will be more talk before
any decision is reached.

TEN TIMES TOO BIG

The work of preparation for the two
big national conventions goes forward
on a. scale commensurate with their
size. 1t is like getting ready for an
exposition or a state fair, or some other
enterprise drawing together a mighty
concourse of unconnected elements. 1t
is an evil excrescence upon our politi-
cal system, and thA American people
ought to be ashamed of it.
Something over 10000 tickets of adj
mission, it is announced, will be dis
tributed for visitors to one convention
hall. What is the reason for it? What
title have 10000 people to attend the
sessions of what ought to be a DELHI
erative body; and if the public has any
rights there at all, why limit it to TO-
600? The whole scheme is one prompt
ed partly by the meanest commercial
motives and partly by the ambitions
of candidates and their managers. In
as far as these tickets are sold to anx-
ioux sightseers and the proceeds turn
ed over either to those who subscribed
money for the convention or to poIiti-
cal favorites as graft, it is a mere
money making scheme. AS far as the
tickets are distributed by the workers
of some particular candidate in order
to pack the hall with his friends and
raise pandemonium for from five to
fifty minutes whenever his name is
mentioned, it is a disgrace to the party
and the people.
The attendance upon a national con-
vention should be limited strictly to
the delegates and the representatives
of the press, with perhaps the privilege
allowed to each delegate Of admitting
one friend. The public should have
nothing to do with it. The system of
trying to nominate one man or defeat
another by mere racket, Of overawing
delegates, of determining events Of ma
tional Importance by stirring excite
ment to the pitch of insanity, instead
of promoting calm discussion and sober
thought, is all enervating and un-
worthy of the American public. We
believe that the party committee which
first adopts reform in this direction,
shuts up the bear garden and limits
the party convention to its proper size
and functions, will score a great hit
with public that is sick and tired and
disguised with the vulgar and brawling
shows that now go by the name Of
party conventions.

FULLERTON WILL HAVE
TO SHOW THE COURT
State Game Agent Must Explain Why
He Ignored Its Order

Judge Bum yesterday issued another
order citing Samuel F. Fullerton to
appear in court and show cause why
he should not be punished for con-
tempt for having failed to respond to
a summons Of the court to appear be-
fore a referee in supplementary pro-
ceedings.
: The order grows out of a judgment
secured against Fullerton by Del Wal
tiers. Fullerton, as state game agent,
seized game which he had no right to
seize, and in suit that followed a
Judgment for $3.50 was rendered against
him. A deputy sheriff reported that he
could find no property belonging to Mr..
Fullerton, and the executive agent was
ordered to appear before a referee and
make statement regarding his prop
erty He is said to have ignored the
order, and some time ago an order cit
ing him into court to show cause why
he had disobeyed the mandate was
made, but was held in obeyance pend
ing the outcome of Fullerton's attempt
to have the Judgment set aside.
Fullerton was unsuccessful in having
the judgment set aside, and on Satur-
day he will have to appear before
Judge Bum and explain why he ig-
nored the order of the court directing
him to make disclosures to the referee.

SIC sEMPER TYRANNIs

1t is a grievous state of affairs that
warrants the removal of a ruler by vio-
lent means, but there was that about
the rule of Bobrikoff, governor general
of Finland, which justified desperate
measures. The assassination of Bobri-
koff yesterday was an act of patriot
ism-mad, perhaps, but inspired by mo-
tives that have always moved men to
deeds not altogether sane.
>Bobrikoff, who is not much known
outside of Russia, was sent to Finland
to carry out the will of the car in
bringing to terms the Firms. The OBJ
ject Of the Russians is not clear to the
American mind It would seem that
the sole ambition Of the Russian gov
eminent was to stamp out the individ
uality of a peaceful and home-loving
people who We're quite willing to pay
tribute to Caesar if they were but left
alone to gather that tribute according
TO their own ideas. For many years.
through the reigns of four czars. the
Firms had a constitutional government
of their own. The present emperor Of
Russia abrogated that constitution
which he had sworn to respect-and sent
Bobrikoff, a creature of his own, to adj
minister the government of the coun-
try by despotism even more absolute
than that which is maintained in Rus
STA proper.
For five years Bobrikoff has ground
the people of Finland under an iron
heel. The right of trial was suspended.

oInex cIeveIand,s IDEAL

Mr.. Cleveland says frankly that his
own opinion has favored Richard Olney
or George Gray as the strongest man
with whom. to oppose Mr.. Roosevelt,
and Mr. MuFphy's preference for Mayor
Mcclellan is we'll known. Mr.. Cleve-
land is naturally inclined to ex-Secre-
tary Olney and to Judge Gray because
of his intimate associations with them;
and it is unquestionably true that the
Massachusetts man comes nearer than
any one else to filling the presidential
ideal in the ex- presidents mind. Mr.
Olney is d. man after Mr.. CIeveland's
own heart. sturdy, "opinionated," firm
and strong: believing, moreover, in
Identical policies, such as Philippine in
dependence and tariff reform.-Provi-

WOMAN BREAKS DOWN
WHILE TESTIFYING
Mrs. Mary c. Widman Tells Woeful
Tale in Her Suit for Divorce

Mrs. Mary c. Widman, who is seek
ing a divorce from John c. Widmans a
Carroll street saloonkeeper, broke
down when placed on the witness stand
in Judge Brills court yesterday and
the proceedings had to be discontinued
until she was able to give her testi-
mony. The plaintiff is twenty seven
years old and her husband is thirty
five. She said her husband was not
such a bad man, except when ne drank.
She said that one day when he was
drinking and sat on the floor when he
had intended to sit on chair that his
anger was aroused to such an extent
that he arose and hurled the chair at
her. The chair was thrown so hard
that it's legs stuck in the wall
Judge Brill listened to many other
stories of the mans disposition, but
decided that more testimony was nee
essary before the divorce could be
granted.
