Pear BLIGHT.

Pear blight sometimes walks down
a pear tree limb at the rate OF from
one to IL inches a day; usually only
two or three inches. One can easily
recognize the disease. Watch the
tree carefully while gowing. and ampu-
tate the attacked limb at once. Have
a bottle of alcohol, and dip the tool
in it after each amputation; it kills
the blight germs that will cling to any
implement and infect the next tree
that IS treated.-Farm Journal.

Knows Americans.

Baron Komura, while a student in
Harvard law school, from which he
was graduated in 1877, avoided going
into society, although urged to do SC
by his classmate, Baron Kaneko, and
there was no lack of opportunity. With
some far-sightedness Komura said he
wanted to see American life outside Of
conventional society. He was a close
student of English and american lit
erature.

The Best and Quickest Way of Han

Drying Them.

The ripe bean may be pulled by hand
and thrown into windrows containing
two or three rows each, or it may DO
cut by a bean harvesting machine
which does the same thing. It should
be left in the rows couple of days to
wilt and dry, and then ''poled." This

Madame TsiIka's Lecture.

That was an interested audience which
listened to Madame Tsilka at the South
church on Thursday evening last, and it
was an entertaining and thrilling story
she told of her experiences as captive
of the Macedonian brigauds, in company
with Miss Stone. Coming from one so
directly concerned, the recital had vast
ly different favor from that undertaken
by the newspapers at the time of the
capture, and the word picture OF the six
months life among brigands-the hard
ships, discomforts, hopes and fears, sus-
pense as to their fate. personal treat
ment at the hands of the bandits, the
babys sottening influence on the rough
men, and the incidents attending re-
lease,-this picture was wildly drawn;
and the story was not without its lesson
of trust amid great peril. Madame
Tsilka talks in an informal and charm
ing way. Towards the close of her
lecture the little daughter born in captivi-
ty was introduced to the audience, who
gave her cordial greeting. This occa-
sion was made possible by the efforts OF
the Searchlight Club. which availed it.
self of the opportunity to secure Madame
Tsilka just prior to her departure to
resume work abroad.

Montpeller's Centen NAL.
The Capital City Celebrates, with Fine
Weather. Big Crowds, Notable
Speech, and Splendid Fireworks

The Capital City Celebrates, with Fin,
Weather. Big Crowds, A Notable
Speech, and Splendid Fireworks.
: Wednesday last was Montpelier's rec
letter day. She celebrated then thu
centennial anniversary of her selection
as the state capital. She entertained
enormous crowds Of people and made
such day of it as the city and all her
guests will remember for long time to
come. The weather was perfect and the
whole program passed off with crafty
ing smoothness. Norwich Cadets fred
sunrise salute in the State House yard,
and as early as seven O'Clock the people
began to gather. Trains from all direc-
lions brought multitudes, and it was not
long before locomotion on the sidewalks
or even in the middle OF the streets be-
came difficult. An audience of $500
assembled in Armory Hall and listened
to an address by Hon. ]. A. DeBoer, Of
Montpelier. The speaker was introduced
by Mayor Cory and held the close
attention of the crowd for an hour. His
address will be found elsewhere in this
issue OF the CALIFORNIAN.
In the afternoon came the parade,
which was made up in an imposing and
attractive manner, presenting military
and civic spectacle which was thoroughly
enjoyed by the lookers-on. 1t was re.
viewed by Gov. Bell and several military
men. The line included eight troops of
cavalry and two batteries of artillery
from Fort Ethan Allen; three companies
OF the Vermont National Guard; Nor
witch University Cadets and two COM
panies o. cadets from Montpelier schools;
seven camps of Modern Woodmen OF
America; six communicates of Knights
Templar, including Palestine Com
mandery of St. Johnsburv; six cantons OF
Patriarchs Militant, |. o. o. F., includ-
ing Canton Crescent of St. Johnsbury; |
Knights OF Pythias, including St. Johns
bury members OF the Uniformed Rank;
Red Men, with goodly delegation from
Algonquin tribe of this place; a float
OF Montpelier Grange, Patrons OF Hus-
bandry, and several other features.
The fireworks in the evening were on
an elaborate scale; the designs were ap.
propriate to the OCCASION and tae dis
play most entertaining. The electric
illumination OF the State House was also
brilliant and fascinating to the thou
sands who gathered in that vicinity.
The Montpelier, St. Tohnsbury and
several other bands gave added zest to
the proceedings, and a male chorus under
the direction OF Prof A. ]. Phillips of
also rendered appreciable ser
vice during the day.
Legislative Reunion.
In the afternoon nearly 1000 of the
5000 members of the Vermont Legisla-
tive Reunion association gathered in
Armory hall for their third decennial
meeting. Col. Fred E. Smith OF the
senate OF 1886 and 1888 in the absence
OF Mayor Cory welcomed the members
of the society to Montpelier Senator

RAILROADS HAVE RIGID RULES
GOVERNING HABITS OF EMPLOYEES
Demand ct Operating Men Exemplary Personal
Concuct For Safety Of Trains, Intemperance
is n ade Cause for Instant Dismissal

Employe ,le operating depart
men of y A. On road have been
given to ualer and that instant dis
missal will b ne penalty Of their
being caught 0: seen in any question
able place or detected in any ques-
tionable practice.
The subject came up during a con-
ference which the management recent.
ly had with a committee of conduct
ors who complained of the discharge
of some men who were caught taking
a drink in a dance hall. A request
to reinstate the men met with determ-
ined refusal and the management took
the occasion to again lay down the
law of a rigid moral life.
Under the present rules of the Ahon
it is impossible for a man engaged In
the operation of trains on that road
to visit a race track Or a dance hall,
a beer saloon, beer garden or concert
hall, or any resort where liquor Is
sold, or where there Is gambling. or
where any immoral or questionable
practice is permitted.
None of the officials in the operat-
ing department ever carry intoxicat-
ing liquors on their private cars when
on Alton rails, nor do they enter sal
oon In towns along the Alton road.
In short, they have undertaken to
obey tie rules and instructions which
they have laid down for the govern
ment of the men.
The Alton management said Geo.
Charleston general passenger agent,
makes such rules not because they
are trying TO control the morals of the
men, but for the purpose of safe oper-
alton of trains. All OF the things
are prohibited eilher tend to or might
tend permanently or temporarily to
impair 4 mans mental and physical
being.
"A. man employed in the operation
of trains needs his best capabilities
of mind and body always at his ms
tant command. and anything that
tends towards any other possibility is
harmful to the service and disastrous
to life and property Alton operating
employees have got 10 be men of UNI
questionable habits, and there is no
deviation from that requirement"
The officials of the operating de-
partment of The Santa Fe railroad
have rules IN force as strict as those
Of the Alton. The employees Of the
Santa re were given a taste Of disci-
pine for disobeying these rules re
Gently when a dozen trainmen were
summarily dismissed at Emporia,
Kansas.
The Rock island railroad is also as
strict as the Alton. Because the Al
ton operating company is controlled
by the Rock Island, it is believed
that the orders In this regard In the
Alton originate from sources which
control the Rock ISLAND. Recently
the Rock Island officials who were
accompanying President B. l.. Win
chell on a tour of inspection of the
western lines were entertained at one
of the social clubs at Topeka and it
