Mesa for insanity was brought to the county jail yes: :erday. He was as violent a subject as the jail author ities have had to deal with for some time. He had to be restrained 'by strength. Now and then he became quiet and gave some account of him self. He said once that there was nothing the matter with him; he had slept well and nothing hurt him but he-afterward amended that statement by saying that he had cuten nothing for seven days. That was regarded by bystander as sign that some thing was the matter with him until he explained further that he had been without money. He was ask cd if he had been without money. He replied that ne had been but he Slid he did not want any; he had no use for it. It was thought by some who heard that re- mark that it was the most pronounce ed case of insanity on record and that as long as he held to that view he might be believed to be incurably in sane.
 WHAT KILLS THE ASH TREES It has been noted this summer that many ash trees in this city have died and many more seem to be weak and debilitated and not making a proper growth. It was usually laid to the dry weather, but it was also noted that some of the trees seemed to be located where they had ample water and others were so large and deeply rooted that they ought to be able to withstand the drouth. The attention of Prof Lloyd, a botanist of the Columbia university, who was here Monday. was called to the fact and after an examination of some of the trees he noted that most of the dead OLes seemed to have been girdled by some insect, just under the bark. He thought it was the larvae of certain kind of beetle. The indlvid- ual grub does not always completely circle the tree in one place, but may work half way around it and just above it another will girdle the other side. These channels stop the flow of the sap, the leaves wither and the trees eventually die for want of nour- ishment. The attention of the entomol-
 ogists of the experiment station should
 be directed to the matter that some remedy may be found, for the ash tree is about the most vigorous and larg- est ornamental tree that has hitherto been successfully grown here.

OF SHELLY DINNER FAME
The Man Who Got Himself Into
 Trouble in BiSbee.

l. will be news to a great n.lny people in these parts that the young man, H. E. Seely. who was arrested in Bisbee a day or two ago for pass ing bogus checks in the sum of $250, is the same young man who achieved a great deal of notoriety a few years ugo in the giving of the famous ''Seely" dinner at Sherry's resort in New York city, but that is the auega- ton made by one of Seely's acquain5- ances in Phoenix, yesterday It Is remembered that the occasion was also the making of a vaudeville char acter known as Little Egypt, the country over, and who not only was ever after in demand by the smart set who had the money and the inclina- tion to go the limit but whose fame has produced a hundred Little Egypts." imitators of the great and only original.
 While New York has been the scene of many warm dinner parties, the Seely dinner seems to be in a class by Itself. It cost in the neighborhood Of s25,OOO. For .favors each guest re- ceived a diamond setting of one sort or another and there was wealth Of decoration that made the eyes of even the rich young men in attendance, bulge out, and a little later after the serving of a menu that rrsatched well with the dhmond favOrs, the police bulged in.
 The police took TO exceptions to the diamonds, nor to the decorations. They could even wink their eyes at the champagne that flowed like a rippIing brook in springtime; but what brought them to a high moral sense of duty was Little Egypt. MT. Seely had forgotten to invite the wives and sweethearts of his guests and when they began to feel their loss of fem mine society the host permitted tfe Introduction of Little Egypt who then and there danced the altogther."
 It is regIted by the papers arriving from the south yesterday, that when Seely issued the bogus checks he was intoxicated and did not realize wha, he was doing; that when he was ar rested and got sober again he was very much mortified and began telc- graphing for money to make good Mir. Seely pissed through Phoenix some weeks ago en route to Bisbee and announced while here that he ex- pected to make Arizona his home for some time at least

INTERESTING STUDENTS.
Many Fi1ipinos Placed in American

Many Fi1ipinos Placed in American
Schools by Uncle Sam.
A great deal of interest is being
shown regarding the new pupils Uncle
Sam has brought from the Philippine
Islands and placed in various schools
Of this country. More than 100 Fill
p1nos were selected by tie government
to come to this country and receive
an education at the public expense,
with view to their returning to the
islands and spreading the light Of
knowledge among their relatives and
associates. Most OF the contingent
are in high schools under the care of
the War Department.
From this number six of the bright
est four boys and two girls, were
placed in the Drexel Institute and the
School Of Industrial Art Of the Penn
sylvania Museum, both Of Philadel-
phia, the boys being in the latter
school. One Of the girls will study
domestic science, the other, after a
year at Drexel, will take g course ut
the Women's Medical College Of the
four boys, one will study architecture,
two painting, and the fourth Etho-
graphic art
The four boys are of various grades
Of intelligence. At least one is fully
the equal if not the superior, in men
tai force to the average American boy
student at the school The others are
well able to hold their own in the
classes. They are not all shy, but
move among their fellow students
with modest air that is entirely de-
void Of self-consciousness. They have
necessarily attracted a great deal of
attention and can scarcely walk
through the corridors of the School Of
Industrial Art, where nearly 1000 stu
dents are enrolled, without causing
heads to turn and whispered explana-
tons to be made. 1t troubles the four
black-haired boys not at all. They be-
have like Chesterfields at all times,
and are not bit suggestive Of the

Perhaps the most interesting of the
Philadelphia sextet are the two girls,
each about Is years old. They are very
small, although they dress and act
like full-grown women. In short
dresses they would easily pass for
girls of 10 or IL, so far as appearance
goes. AS they wander through the
corridors of the Drexel they look like
dark-eyed, swarthy pygmies beside the
strapping American girls who are
studying there. They show little dis
position to make friends with the
other pupils and are very studions.

Turpentiue for Corn.

have also used turpentine for many
years on all Of my seed corn. We
usually use pan or dipper to fill our
planter boxes and in each d1pper we
use turpentine freely, stirring the corn
with the hand until all the corn is
wet with turpentine. We like turpen-
tine best, as it evaporates about as
fast as the planter boxes are filled. 1t
prevents worms or grubs from eating
corn on soddy land. You can also use
freely on your seed beans as soon as
you see indication Of Weevils, either in
spring, fall Or winter. 1t will kill all

TO POSTPONE REVOLT.
Boris Sarafoff Says That Macedonian

London, Nov. 2S.-A letter from Boris
Sarafoff, the Macedonian leader, to Il
friend in London, says it is the intention
of the revolutionary committee to defer
the next general rising until the spring
If 1906, after the expiration of the two
gear term of the Austro- Russian reforms.
Reforms Are a Failure.
Sarafoff adds that the reforms are ut
ter failures and that the condition of the
peasants is worse than iefore the late
revolution. Their homes have not been
rebuilt and the people are on the verge
of starvation, some of them freezing to
death.
The insurgents under Damien Grueff
are maintaining the revolutionary organi-
cation with seventy bands of ten to fifty
men each and are collecting funds III

In Macedonian circles in London the
mobilization of the Albanian regiments
and Turkish reserves and the appoint
ment of Nazir Pasha as special envoy
with instructions to take all the measures
necessary to suppress the Bulgarian
movement by the quickest possible meth
DDS, create uneasiness, as Nazir is re-
garded as being the most relentless Turk
ish commander in suppressing Christian
risings. He conducted the repressive
operations of last year and participated
in the suppression of the Armenian dis
turbances.

ment in Recent Years.
Within the past five years, Canada's

per cent; that of Britain, 10 per cent
Canada's foreign trade is $S3 per capt.
ia; that of the United States only $95
Her revenue Is $12.40 per capita, and
her expenditure 1886; the United
States revenue being $7.7O and ex-
penditure $7.04. The public debt Of
Canada Is but $66 per capita, while
that of her sister commonwealth
Australians $3.50. Canadas oversee
trade last year was $451, 600, O0O-more
than double that Of Japan, almost
equal to Russia's. Her merchant ship
ping tonnage exceeds Japan's; her
railway mileage is half that Of Rus
STA.
1t is now thirty-seven years since
the federation of Canada was accom-
plished, and about half that space of
time since what was then thought the
visionary prospect Of spanning the
continent with the Canadian Pacific
Railway was conceived. The North
west was considered c wilderness of
snow and ice-a vast, lone land, ten
antless save by the bison and the red
man. Phenomenal has been the
change since then. Along the inter
national boundary, twenty years ago,
was an acreage of 100000 under crop,
yielding 100000 bushels of wheat.
Now the acreage is over 100000. and
the annual yield 100000 bushels,
while population, acreage, and output
are augmenting at a rate no other
country can approach.

To Care for the Horse.

To Care for the Horse
Speed horses are always trained
down before they enter races. Foot
ball players train and diet for months,
In order that they may be in prime OF
condition; that their muscles may DE
hard and their endurance extended,
but how many farm horses there are
that are not even given a thought
about conditioning before entering the
heavy harvest and fall work, says
Farm Review Where horses are work
ed more or less continuously there
should be no trouble whatever In
bringing them into good condition ana
keeping them there, but with those
that are turned to grass the problem
is not so easy. Grass is good for
horses, but when turned on, and this
accompanied by feeding at random,
with a little work now and then, will
not get or keep a horse in condition
If on grass the horse, If he works
more or less, should be given his grain
feed regularly. In any case pains
should be taken to have the horse
hardened and in condition by the time
hard work begins. II such is the case
both man and beast will enjoy the
harvest more than If the horse is poor
and soft.
