should be stopped at Once.

1t is said that certain men were NOV
ing about the city last night endeavoripe
to form lynehiug party for the purpose
of taking a negro named George Grifiu
from the Jail and executing him without
trial or jury. Certain youths were in
vited TO join with their elders 10 the
proposed breach of the peace, but the
boys, very sensibly, declined TO engage
in such movement. Griffin, 1t will Re
remembered, was brought here from Gull
pepper a few days ago for safekeeping.
The police should ascertain the names Of
the parties engaged in this procedure
aud the authorities should place them
nnder bonds to keep the peace, or put
them in isll until their thirst for blood
subsidies. Alexandra has been disgrsced
twice within the psst nine years by
lynchings, and no good citizen desires to
see another blot placed upon the city.
The dsrkey BOW in jail 10 charged with
al ofense in another part Of the stste,
and at the proper time he will be sent to
the place from which be came.

The Electric Lights.

There was trouble With the electric
lights again last night, caused BY the
heating OF the machinery OF the long cis-
cult, which necessitated the stopping Of
the same. A similar trouble arose last
Wednesday week when the boxes were
taken out aud plansd sud filed by expert
mschinists and new armitgre installed.
The machinery got out of order again
last night, bot the operatives soon sue
ceeded in placing "A lamps in working
order, and they burned throughout the
night. The com nittee on light In con-
junction with the electric light opera
lives and skilled mschinists are yieing 10
endesvors to place the plant in working
order by tonight, and they hope TO have
it in such a condition as to cause no
further inconvenience. The troubles
which have occurred could not have been
forsseen nor prevented by those in charge
of the works.

Prisoners Released.

Miss Mabel Risley, the young lady
Who was assaulted by negro near Luna
Park the evening of Sunday, the 9Th in
slant, went to Upper Marlboro, Md. on
Thursday in company with Special OH
Ger Pennypscker of Alexandria county,
to see if she could identify as her a.sail-
sat John Joseph Chase, who is held In
the jail there on the charge OF attempt
ing to commit criminal assault on Miss
Elizabeth Wytenger near Tuxedo, Md,
last Monday. Miss Risley scrutinized a
half dozen colored prisoners, Chase be-
ing among the number, but she declared
she could not indemnity any Of them.
Miss Risley went to the Alexandria
county jail yesterday afternoon on a
mission similar to that which caused the
visit to Upper Marlboro. There we're
three prisoners 10 the jail who were be-
ing held on suspicion OF having commit
ted the assault, They were Cap Turner,
who was frat arrested; John e. Gaskins,
who was taken into custody last Satur-
day near Rockville, Md, and George
Young. The latter was arrested We'd
uesday night by Officer Pennypacker
near st. Elmo, Alexsndris county, Miss
Risley failed to identify any of the men
as her assailsnt and all the prisoners
we're released.

A Suggestion

1t is suggested that a new court should
be established for negroes who are dis
posed TO rush into litigation every time
q neighborhood quarrel occurs. Two
sable females were 10 the dock of the
Police Court this morning. They had
been arrested at the instance OF two
other colored women. The defendants
had employed counsel, and it was natur-
ally supposed that something serious
would develop. The plaintiffs occupied
the attention of the court for some time
with rambling accounts OF previous
neighborho d qusrrels, and so far as
any one could see never urged ANYTHING
whatever ig snbstantiatipn of the charge
upon which they had procured the war
rant. 1t was simply case of hot
words between neighbors with division
fence between them and where the issue
depended solely upon the lung power OF
the respective disputsnts. Justice Cation
failed to zee where any ofense had been
committed and discharged the prisoners.
Should the complainants be fined in such
cases it would tend much toward bringing
to an cad senseless issues aud save much
time to those conducting the Police
Court

MEDICINES AND POULTRY.

We are convinced that doctoring
poultry is of little avail. Probably
birds could he cured if they would
have their diseases diagnosed as hui
mans do and then be put on a regular
course of treatment involving the Civ
ing OF medicine several times day.
But that Is not possible to most of
those that keep poultry. Therefore.
the only system that is practical is to
kill all very sick fowls. especially If
they have a contagious disease. Then
keep and feed the others rightly. go
ing through the flock every month or
so and carefully inspecting every one
of the birds to see If they have roup
or othe- contagious disease. The roup
can DC told by looking into the mouth.
II the roup is in process of spreading
the little slit in the roof of the mouth
will he clogged with a colorless. thick.
strinEy fluid. or there may be little
blis'ers. called canker, in the mouth.

BULK IN SWINE FOOD.

Swine are by nature omnivorc.s
feeders. They eat flesh, heritage. ce-
reals, roots and fruits. Their food in
their natural state has a good deal OF
bulk. The bad results sometimes OBJ
tanned by feeders is due to forgetful-
ness of this fact. The salvation OF
pigs kept in confinement has been the
general impression that swill was pre-
eminently hog feed. This has given
bulk to an otherwise condensed ration.
The pig has to large extent been the
victim of wrong system of feeding
He has been too often confined in a
small space and fed a condensed ra-
ton. AS a result disease and death
have cut short the profits of the big
raisers. The feeding of a ration of
cereals is not in keeping with the
natural requirements of the porcine
money maker. 1t is not a difficult mat
ter for the swine feeder to increase
greatly the bulk of food fed. Silage.
roots and vegetables can be fed in the
winter. If the farmer have not these
he can feed clover hay. This should be
cut in a feed cutter and soaked by
pouring water over it. To this may
be added the meal or other concen-
trate that is to be fed.

THE STUDY OF BEES.

Nothing on the farm, or anywhere
else fer that matter, is more interest
ing than our honey bee. One can watch
them for hours and never tire in the
least. Nothing is buster. nothing is
more exact in its work, no mechanic
could possibly be more exact in his
measurements than is the honey bee.
The life of the bee, though short, is
busy one. They simply wear out
their wings in flight seeking honey.
and then give out by the wayside and
die. Knowing all this they are con-
tinually rearing more young to take
the place of the ones that die. Thus
1t is one continual workday in one
way or another for the little honey bee.
Every move counts for something.
Every bit of pollen has its place. You
will seldom see one piece of work un-
dertsken until the last one is finished.
Each cell is brought to completion and
then 1t is all over the section one
after another. From these little work
ers one can learn many valuable les
sons that will be of great worth If We
only put into practice owhat we learn
from them.

TIE BARBERRY AS A HEDGING
PLANT.

Among the many bright spots in
childhood's memory there is none which
gave more pleasure than that of the
barberry hedge which grew near the
old schoolhouse; that hedge which fur
niyhed us shade during the hot noon
tirae play hour. The bushes with their
deep green foliage. racemes of yell
low flowers and hidden thorns that
prevented their destruction, and later,
the bright scarlet berries hanging un-
til late in winter, perhaps the glasses
of barberry jelly that graced our
mothers pantry shelves and gave
relish to the bread and butter eaten
at school intensity that memory
This was over 80 years ago, but the
barberry hedge still stands, furnishing
shade for other children now, putting
out leaves and flowers, and maturing
its berries as then.
At time when there is so mach
call for hedging plants for our subur-
ban homes why would 1t not be well to
plant more barberries? Hardy, hand
some, easily cared for and protected by
sharp thorns from the depredations of
stock it seems to me to be one of the
most desirable plants for the purpose,
while its fruit finds a ready market
wherever known.
