RAN BOAT AGROUND.
New York Man Adopted Heroic
Measures TO Prevent ~ Panic.

New York. July 22.-The excur-
sion steamer Sirius was deliberately
run aground off North Brother Is
land yesterday to avoid a panic
among her 1000 passengers. and a
possible repetition of the Slocum
disaster
The Sirius. carrying a Sunday
school picnic, stove in her side on
a rock near the very spot where the
Slocum burned last year. Although
Capt. Pearce did not believe his ship
would sink, he ran her aground with
all possible dispatch and emptied the
crowded decks with the aid of small
boats
Another boat took the excursion
lists to their picnic grounds and tugs
were sent TO the disabled Sirius.
After being aground about three
hours the excursion boat foated
with the, rising tide without the nee
essity of assistance. One bulkhead
was found to have filled, but the ST.
RUS was able to proceed to her dock
under her own steam.

II. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
OF trade says:
Hot weather tended to retard ac-
tlvity Yin many productive undertake
ings and postponed forward what
could be delayed without loss, but
accelerated the consumption of sea-
sonable merchandise and advanced
the crops much nearer maturity
Confidence in the future increases
with each day favorable for harvest
ing. and much of the winter wheat
is now regaining lost ground.
Inquiries indicate general dispo-
sition to provide for a large volume
of fall and winter business, clothing
manufacturers securing liberal or
ders from travelling statesmen, while
cancellations are exceptionally few
Real estate transfers are large and
building operations numerous. over
taxing facilities for delivery of
lumber and other materials.
Cotton manufacturers are good,
but the price fluctuations have an
unsettling effect. Railway earnings
thus far reported for July exceed
last years by 1874 per cent and for
eign commerce at this port alone for
the week shows gains of S2,105, 12O
in exports and $3,667.64s in imports
as compared with the corresponding
week In 1904.

ably 100000 to 100000 on extern

W. S. Lloyd Successful.

After a great deal of effort and
correspondence, w. S. Lloyd, the
popular druggist, has succeeded in
getting the DR.. Howard Co. to
make a special half-price intro
ductory offer on the regular fifty
cent size of their celebrated spe-
cific for the cure of constipation
and dyspepsia.
This medicine is a recent dis
covery for the cure of all diseases
of the stomach and bowels. Itnot
only gives quick relief, but it max
es permanent cures
DR.. Towards specific has been
so remarkably successful in curing
constipation, dyspepsia and all
liver troubles, that w. S. Lloyd is
willing to return the price paid in
every case where 1t does not give
relief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing
with mineral waters, cathartic pills
or harsh purgatives will soon be a
thing of the past. The best ply
sicians are prescribing DR.. How
ards specific because it really gives
the desired results and on account
of the small and pleasant desc that
is needed
Headaches, coated tongue, dizzi-
ness, gas on the stomach, specks
before the eyes, constipation, and
all forms of liver and stomach
trouble are soon cured by this
scientific medicine.
So great is the demand for this
specific, that w. S. Lloyd has been
able to secure only a limited sup
ply, and every one who is troubled
with dyspepsia, constipation or
liver trouble should call upon him
at once, or send 25 cents, and get
sixty doses of the best medicine
ever made, on this special half
price offer, with his personal guar

Asparagus Beds.

November is the time to attend
to the asparagus beds. A we'll
kept bed requires very little work,
but neglected asparagus bed re-
qulres a great deal more work in
the way of manurIng, cutting
weeds, asparagus, etc. The aspar-
agus tops should be cut now be.
fore the seeds ripen well and drop 70
the ground. This prevents the
growing of young asparagus plants
broadcast over the beds. AS soon
as the asparagus tops are cut
and removed, the beds should be
well MANFRED. This will give the
beds a good winter protection and
keep the ground well loosened
during the winter.
The following spring the beds
should be spaded up lightly in or
der to turn under the remaining
manure. However, the beds should
nor be spaded too deep, for fear
the spade may iDjure the roots or
crowns. II the asparagus bed is
getting too old or dying out, a
young stock of plants is easily OBJ
tanned as soon as the asparagus
seed is ripe. The seed plants may
be cut and hauled into the shed
and the seed berries can then be
beaten off with sticks. Then comes
the tedious task of separating the
seeds from the pulps and hull.
This is accomplished by throw
ing the seed balls into tub or bar
rel with water. A hammer made of
wood should be used and the bar
ries worked until the seeds are
mashed, separated from the hull.
The seed should then be taken and
spread over floor not thicker than
one-half inch, and frequently stir
red with garden rake until dry.
