PENNSYL VANIAN SOUGHT
TO BLACKMAIL A COUNT
Threatened Hungarian Nobleman With
Death if He Failed to Make
Remittances
Nv Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Chief Wilkie
of the secret service today received a
telegram from Lebanon, Pa, stating
that Ignaz Wenzler, a laborer in one
of the iron mills there, had been ar
rested and held under $4,000 bond for
attempting to blackmail and threaten
the life of Count Won Tisza, the pre-
mier of Hungary
Some weeks ago, it is said, Wenzler
wrote the count, signing fictitious
names to the letter, stating that Wenz-
Ter, distant relative of his, was in
great need, and demanding a remit
tance of $4,000, in default of which a
representative of the BLACK Hand"
would go to Budapest and kill the
count before Christmas day.
The letter came to Chief Wilkie
through the state department and Sc
eret service detectives were at once
put on the case. Wenzler was located
and a sample of his handwriting OBJ
assistance in writing to a friend in
Hungary
Later letter carrier obtained writ
ten statement from Wenzler to the
effect that he expected d remittance of
$4,000 from Count Tisza. The hand
writings being identical, Wenzler was
arrested, and in default of bail was
sent to Jail in Harrisburg charged with
using the mails to defraud.

The Value of Charcoal
Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not
drug at ALL but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
dlsinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal I'm one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather
in the form or large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condi-
tion OF the general health, better COM
pleNion, sWeeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of II is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits Of charcoal says: II adj
wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; l also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
box at drug stores, and although
In some sense a patent preparation,
yet l believe l get more and better
charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any OF the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

Mukden Hears the News

MUKDEN, Jan. 6.-Yia Pekin, Jan.
Though the news of Port Arthur's
capitulation was first generally known
here today, it was surmised by the
Russian army January 4, from the
cheering heard in the Japanese camp
along the entire line, when cries of
"Banzai" were distinctly heard. The
rews created no surprise because the
army had become accustomed to the
possibility of Port Arthur's fall be-
fore the battle of Lao Yang and since.
There was unusual cannonading yes
terday along the center. It was con-
tinued in moderate form today.

Buffalo Tree Hopper.

The Buffalo tree hopper is a light.
green, three-cornered insect, about
one-third of an inch in length. What
appears to be the head, really the
thorax, is large and broad and termin.
ates abruptly, having on either side a
short, sharp spine or thorn, somewhat
resembling the horn of buffalo, and
from this comes the common name OF
the insect. This insect feeds upon a
great variety of plants. It does it's
chief injury while depositing it's eggs:
in August. These are deposited in the
limbs of various trees, including the
apple. Clean culture of orchards will
do much to keep down these insects.
Where many eggs are deposited on a
limb, the only remedy is to cut of
the limb and burn it, but this may be
done in the late fall or early spring,
at which times it is easier than at the
present time to discover the eggs.

Watering Trees in Summer.

1t generally does little good to at
tempt to water trees in summer.
Keeping the ground pulverized will
generally accomplish more in supply
ing moisture to the tree than will the
supplying of water by. hose. The
great trouble in watering with gar
den hose is that enough water is not
given. The man will think he has
thrown on great deal of water, but
1t will be found on investigation that
the ground has not been moistened to
greater depth than one inch. Many
OF the light showers in summer wet
the ground only to depth of one
fourth or one-half Of an inch. They
really do no good to the tree through
the roots. Their chief benefit con.
sists in washing the dust off the
leaves. If a man is to use a. garden
hose on his trees, he will accomplish
more by washing Off the foliage than
by attempting to water the tree from
below. The failure in the latter case
is due to too small supply of water;
and it is extremely difficult to supply
enough water through the garden hose
to affect many trees.

Segregate the Market Birds

At this time of year the fowls in
tended for market should be separated
from the birds that are to be retained
as layers and as future breeders
Two entirely different methods q
feeding should be followed, after the
pullets and cockerels have attained
their growth. The birds to be use(
on the farm need to have an abund
ance. OF exercise, while the ones in
tended for market should be confined
that they may make the greatest DOS
sible use of their feed in the produc
ton Of flesh. This is not only in the
interest of the poultry raiser, but it is
also in the interest of the user of the
flesh, as such method of fattenine
gives a flesh very tender and iuicv
The little exercise means a lessene6
use of carbon in the lungs of the fowl
and this in turn means that the car
bon in the food, instead of being
burned UP in the breath, will be stored
up in the body of the fowl in the form
OF fat. The usual mode of permittine
all kinds of fowls to run together till
it is time to market some of their
results in putting on the market half
fattened fowls, and this means loss
to the farmer.

Over cultivation of Orchards.

~
There is such a thing as cultivating
an orchard too much. This is the case
with orchards that have never been
accustomed to being cultivated. It is
safest to begin cultivation in the
spring as soon as the buds begin to
open, and continue the cultivation un-
til the end of July BY that time the
branches will have made their annual
growth, and the fruit buds will have
developed for the fruit crop of the
following yeac. When that has been
accomplished growth stops, and the
rest OF the season the tree spends in
hardening up the wood that has been
developed, and in filling the fruit buds
with material for the development in
the following spring. If cultivation
is continued during the latter part OF
summer and in the fall, there is dan
ger that a fall growth of wood will
be started, and also that many of the
fruit buds will expand and blossoms
appear in the fall. Many a good or
chard has been spoiled by over cult
vation. One man in Illinois tells the
story that when he was young man,
his father being away, he thought to
surprise him by thoroughly cultivat-
ing an orchard of 400 plum trees. 1t
was early fall. The trees took on
new growth. When his father re-
turned, instead of being pleased he
said: "You have killed all these trees"
His prophecy proved true. as most of
the trees died during the following
winter.

Everybody Listens.

In a little hamlet few miles from
Cleveland the telephone hasn't worn
out it's novelty and the subscribers
get all they can out of it.
It is said that when the bell sounds
along a certain party line the femi
nine head of each household in the
circuit Immediately ceases whatever
she may be doing and comfortably
seating herself at the phone, takes
down the receiver and prepares tc
enjoy the conversation to it's full ex
tent. A visitor to whom this CO
operative scheme was new was some
what disconnected the other day while
at the phone by shrill voice that
suddenly interrupted her in these
words:
when you git through tellin' Mary
Jane bout that Simpson affair I'd like
to hev a word with her."-Cleveland

Question of Preference in Ice,

Admiral Coghlan took the greatest
interest in the Roosevelt before her
departure to make possible the sue
cess of Peary's north pole seeking ex-
pedition. Looking over the craft he
pronounced her to be perfect for her
purpose, and then could not avoid his
usual pleasantly. Turning to Peary as
they stood in the blazing sun forward
he remarked:
"Peary, it is up to you. I wish you
every success. You may prefer the
blue ice of the frozen arctics, but I
prefer to stay at home and listen to
the ice clinking in my glass;
Some few seconds later Charles
Percy, the cook and steward, filled two
glasses with ice and other things. The
two glasses looked of the same color,
but Commander Peary swore by his
hope of reaching the north pole that
his concoction was iced tea, while it
might be that the one for the admiral
had "a little, just little, Dutch cour-
age'' in its composition.-New York
Times.

Poisoning Potato BUGS.

AS long as the potato crop is grow
ing, the potato bug should be fought!
The most approved method now prac-
ticed consists in poisoning this insect
with Paris green. Some have feared
to use Paris green lest the foliage of
the plant be injured, but all expert
ments go to show that the Paris green
not only does not injure the foliage,
but that it actually improves it. This
cannot be said of some other poisons,
such as arsenite of lime. Some farm
ers do not try to poison the bugs in
late summer and early fall, for they
say the potatoes have attained their
growth and the foliage is therefore of
little consequence. But if the war on
the bugs kept up till the end of the
growing season, the crop next year
would be greatly reduced. While Paris
green is being put on the potato
plants, other plants used by the po-
tato beetles for food should not be
overlooked. Potato beetles feed on to-
mato plants and on quite a variety of
weeds. It is not desirable to spray
the tomato plants with Paris green
during the time of fruiting, but the
weeds at least on which the beetles
appear can be treated to a spraying
with Paris green without danger. It
must not be forgotten that the size of
the brood next year will depend very
much on how many are permitted. to
60 into winter in good health.

When to Feed Soft, Food.

There is dispute as to wheth
er it is best to feed the soft
food in the morning or at night
The practice of the writer has
been to feed it in the morning
Some poultrymen feed it at night and
claim that they have good theory
for doing SO. Their theory is that il
the birds do not have the mash in the
morning they will be more active in
hunting for grain and their activity
will help them digest the grain. The
soft feed fed at night will be easily
digested during the night when thew
are quiet on the roosts. The theory
may be a good one or it may not be
of much value It all depends on
whether food is digested more easily
while the birds are actually exercis.
ing or whether they digest it Just as
we'll when they are not actually NOV.
ing about. This is point that is not
yet cleared UP by experiments.

Summer Flavor Of Butter,

Of all times of the year, summer is
the worst for the making Of good fla
vored butter. Butter makers on the
farm who have city customers to sup
ply have the most complaints coming
in the summer. This is due largely
to two things, the shortness of the
pastures and the abundance of the
weeds. During the spring and fall
months when the pastures are good
the COWS pay little attention to weeds.
but in midsummer when the pastures
are dry and the weeds are fourishine
and succulent, the cows eat a large
proportion of weeds, evidently to sat.
isfy their hunger. It is therefore com.
mon in the summer to find butter with
a weedy flavor. The remedy is to
feed the COWS in the barn during the
great shortness of the pastures. Even
if there be no succulent feed at hand,
it will pay to feed some ground grain
at loss, rather than to suffer a de-.
terioration in the quality of the butter.
A reputation for making. good butter
is valuable and is hard to obtain, vet
may be lost in few weeks.
