FLOATING DRY DOCK

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 26.-
The navy department officials are
anxious to have authorized at the
present session of congress at least
one floating dry dock, to be sta
toned in home waters. The site
selected is Solomon's Island in
Chesapeake bay, which is admir-
ably adapted for the purpose
Should such a dock be constructed
it will possess new feature In an
enlarged machine shop, containing
the modern facilities for repairing
ships. This will give the dock the
value of a miniature navy yard,
with the additional advantage of
being able to proceed from place
to place and save the time of ships
which are needed in certain locali-
ties. Naval strategists have come
to realize that the floating dock is
an important factor in maintaining
the efficiency of the feet and in
giving the fighting ships greater
value on the firing line.

A FANATICAL CHINESE CA RTOON SHOWING
sIONARIES CUTTING OUT CHINAMAN.

Pitkin was armed with a revolver,
with which he defended himself
and his charges until the ammuni-
ton was exhausted, when the
crowd poured into the house and
seized the occupants dragging
them out. In the melee, Mr.. Pit
kin was shot and then beheaded,
his body being thrown into a pit
with six or seven Chinese Chris
tians. The head was carried to
the yamen of the niehtate, Ting
Yung, as an evidence of the good
work of the Boxers, and was seen
no more.
During this time and later a
force of about 80 Chinese soldiers
stood outside the gate of the Pit
kin compound with a knowledge of
the proceedings, but taking no &C

Miss Gould and Miss Morrell

RODE IN ON THE BEAMS

A peculiar discussion arose be.
tween Manager Watkins and Perry
Werden, the veteran first baseman,
in the office of the Minneapolis base
ball club the other day. The sub
ject On which Watty and Perry
famed for a brief spell was dirty,
uncouth ball players.
The word dirty" was not used
as it is in slang terms, which de-
notes foul, or unfair work. The
magnate and player discussed at
length many players whom they
used to know who were very I'M
kempt in their dress, both on and
off the ball field.
Some years ago when l was
managing the st. Paul club in the
old Western league, l had a pitcher
by the name of Schmidt on the
pay roll" said Manager Watkins.
81 have seen some uncouth play
ers in my day." further declared
Watty, "but this man Schmidt, we
called him Schmitty, had it on 'em
all.
"Just before leaving for training
camp one spring, Schmitty came to
me and asked for $25. He certain
ly looked as though he needed it
badly and I gave it to him. When
the day came for reporting at the
training camp, Schmitty was not
there, nor did he show up during
the entire spring practice.
"The day on which the team was
to open in St. Paul | was sitting in
the baseball club office looking over
some papers. Some one knocked
on the door. In answer to my in
Vitation to enter, trampy looking
fellow came into the office. His
clotneS were ragged and dirty, his
hair long and his face covered with
nearly two months growth of whis-
kers.

asked rather impatiently. The fell

in broken English: 'Mein Colt,

animation as to their guilt, &C
cording to the general custom OF
the Boxers.
Late in the afternoon, about 6
o'clock, perhaps, the entire party
was conducted out of the city.
During the day Miss Gould had re-
covered and was able to walk.
The following method was adopt
ed: The hands were bound and
held in front Of the body, the wrists
about the height of the neck; a
rope was then tied about the wrists
passing to the rear around the.
neck, thence to the wrists of the
next person behind, thence about
the neck, and so on. The child
was not bound, but ran along cling
ing to her mothers dress.
The end of the rope in front was
seized by two men, and the DOOM
ed party, thus led in single fire: all
bound together like Chinese GRIM
inals, viewed by an immense
throng of the populace, were led
through the streets, passing out by
the south gate to the place of exc
cution at the southeast corner of
the wall.
Here all were executed by being
beheaded, except the child, which
was speared by a Boxer.
The bodies and heads were in
securely buried in one pit about 40
yards from the south wall and
about 70 yards west of the corner.

sustained. Justice Peckham wrote

TRAGIC DEATH OF SOCIETY

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24.-The
brutal and unprovoked murder of
Mrs. Chas. A. Garfield, a social
leader famed for her beauty and
wife of the California oil king, by
her former coachman, Morris Buck,
has caused a sensation almost ma,

A remarkable feature of the
crime is that it was foretold over a

in gratitude for aims received from
Mrs. Garfield, told her fortune and
warned her of the impending fatal.

detail. No attention was paid to
the prophecy, however, and it was
not until after Mrs. Canfield's MUIR

recalled.
Buck was a former retainer in
the Garfield family, serving as
coachman and leaving their employ
aobut five years ago. 1t is thought
that he discovered some family Sc

ton 70 Texas Farm and Ranch: Navy
beans are planted I'm New York about
June L or after danger of frost is past.
They are planted with a two horse
planter, which drops two rows at q
time, and while the planter can be ad-
justed for rows of different width it IS
customary to plant the rows two and n
half feet apart. There are several va
rietics OF navy beans, and the size of
the seed varies greatly; hence the
quantity of seed per acre varies.
Roughly speaking. it is customary to
plant one bushel per acre. 1t may be
that less quantity of seed would do.
II ltt .uAlltL VI lGi t4iiLetllb4A We
should remember that beans are q
legune and are supposed TO get their
nitrogen from the air, but whether
they viii do so in Texas without in
ocUlat.ou is an open question. 1t is
quite likely that they should receive
some nitrogen in the fertilizer as well
as 4 liberal supply of phosphoric acid
and perhaps a little potash.
l wish to warn bean growers, how
ever, in the matter of fertilizing them
with cottonseed meal l have broad
casted cottonseed meal and narrowed
it In before planting snap beans, and it
prevented termination in 4 large per-
centage of the seed.
Stable manure Is excellent for beans,
and nitrate of soda helps to push them
along.
