MULTITUDINOUs REVELRY AT
 ATGON


 The opening of the roller skating rink to the public on SCunday evening was attended by a great crowd numbering nearly five hundred. There was mass of people congregated seldom seen to- gether Several were from Emmets- burg, and Burt sent down fine dele gations.
 On the floor the scene was exciting young and old, gay and sedate, De- cember and May-all were there, primped, powdered and starched for the occasion. The orchestra enlivened the scene with its charming music, while the surging mass rolled on their wheel skates around the room by cou- pies, singly and any old way Some fell down and others fell over them, while the onlookers hawhawed. Occa- sionally the skates would get away with man and land him punk against the wall for repairs. It was whirl of a time. where care and sorrow were forgotten, and where soft eyes looked love to eyes that spoke again in a way that would make the scene at the ball at Brussels, when Napoleon was ad- vancing on Waterloo, sink into insig- nificance.

casionally ship is damned in some remote bay by the ice and held fast till June, so that this contingency must be allowed for. Three years ago such a case occurred, and part of the crew left the vessel and walked $50 miles through the interior to their homes.
 The main herd of seals Is usually found off Belle Isle Strait, two or three days after leaving port, and the spec tacle is a most extraordinary one. The hunters scatter in every direction, kill- ing the young seals as they go. A hair sealer will often travel eight or ten miles from his ship, and as the men are divided into squads, or watches, each under a master, they will in such cases not attempt to draw their prizes back to her, but will heap them on a convenient pan or flat section of ice, surmounting the pile With one, of the ships flags, so that she may pick them up as she steams slowly in the wake of her men.
 Sometimes herd will show total of 100000 seals within the range of a field glass from the crows nest at a sealer' s masthead, and several steamers will load from 1t In eight or ten days. When young seals are scarce the old ones are hunted and when neither Is to be had honestly, the luckless ships are apt to loot the pans of their more fortunate consorts after nightfall, this theft of banned seals being a most prolific source of vexatios litigation every sea- son. Perjury in sealing cases Is a be- setting sin with otherwise God fearing people, and the prevailing view of the matter is epitomized in the declaration of a winning skipper to his crew: "Men Ye swore nobly!'
 This seal hunt is, however, no easy task. Added to the perils which every seal man must face-the loss of his ship, if not his life, by wreck or strand ing on a rugged shore, her destruction by tempest or collision, or der disable ment by mishap to her machinery, the seal man has to guard against her be- ing crushed by berg, foe or pack ice and against perishing himself as he traverses the foe far from her shelter ing hold, or works his boat through lanes of water when binding biz- gard assails him and no human agency can accomplish aught for his relief
 The seal men are always abroad or the foes, when the weather admits from sunrise till eventide, and being usually miles distant from their ship cannot get back if astorm arises. The hunt. ing, killing, hauling and banning oi seals is most exnaustlng, for in the very nature of things the crews must remain the whole day without warn food of any kind, staying their hunger with sea biscuit, of which they carry g small quantity while some will dine of seals heart, eaten raw and esteemed great delicacy.

person who may ever participate in
 public life or in the duties which some time or another fall to the lot of almost every man. To be able to write cor rectly and entertainingy, and to be
 able to speak easily in public is one of the greatest gifts that man can desire, and no matter how crude and ungifted boy may seem, practice of the kind necessary to participate in the Litch- field County University clubs oratorical contests will do much to develop the latent talents in him.
 Good results are already being felt from the practice obtained in the pre- vious contests. Every boy cannot win prize, but in trying for 1t he has real- ly gained hundred times more than if
 he had been able simply to pocket the amount of cash represented in the prizes. If this marvellous age of pro- gress lacks anything, it is the class of Btates, men of the old Daniel Webster type, men who can move people to ac- tion by their oratorical flights, such
 men are at premium to-day more than ever. It would seem as if the printing press, through the publication of high class books. magazines and
 newspapers had pushed the old time ! orators aside, so that really good
 public speaker is prize.
 The scope of the subjects presented by the committee is broad enough to hit every side of a natural boy In
 fact we do not see how they could have
 made better selection. Each subject
 is matter of great public interest to- day, and the mere perusal of them floods one's mind with thoughts and
 stlrs ones soul with enthusiasm. Go in boys for the first prize, do your
 best, and if you only come out at the
 bottom of the list you will have been
 well repaid for your efforts, Winsted

The committee having In charge the sixth annual oratorical prize contest to be given at New Milford in May under the auspices of the Litehfeld County University club has announced the subjects and conditions of conducting the contest. These contests have grown more popular each year and it is to be hoped that the boys of the county will take a hold of this matter this year with more vim than ever. It is a privilege that hundreds, yes, thou sands of men would give a great deal if they had had the opportunity of par ticipating in when they were youngs-

CLARKsBuRG, Sept is The
trial of John CondrX IRE chief, upon
an appeal from the mayors court was
begun Monday morning, with Prose
cutting Attorney viii e.. Morris and
Mayor Harvey W. Harmer represent
ing the city and state, and Hons.

PENDANT
Condry had been convicted before
the mayor OF assembling with the
Medsker girls at their home on Lo-
Gust street for an improper purpose
and fined $50 and sentenced by the
mayor to thirty days in jail. From
this condry appealed.
The hearing Of the evidence con-
sumed the day. There was but few
Sensational features about the trial,
probably the greatest being when Lu.
lu Medsker on cross examination re-
fused to answer questions put by Mr..
Farmer. The tilt was a lively one
and Mayor Harmer in a helpless man
ner appealed to Judge Lynch for help
but the Judge informed him that he
himself was Just as helpless, as all
he could do would be to send her back
to Jail, where she had just come from.
AS she left the witness stand she told
Mr.. Hammer she was going back to
where he ought to be, which remark
provoked a considerable ripple OF
amusement, which called forth vigor'
ous rapptng by the sheriff for order.
The defanse's case is that Lulu
Medsker wrote a note to Condry the
evening of the raid, informing him
that she was boxing her household
goods for storage and requesting the
loan Of money to pay the storage. In
response to this note he finally went
to her home, but indulged in no i'm
proper act.
At the opening Of the trial the de
tense claimed the mayor exceeded
his authority, when he attempted to
punish Condry. They asserted that
the ordinance of the city in regard to
offenses of this kind is not constttu'
tional and that the city by its charter
has no power or authority for making
and enforcing such an ordinance
Judge Lynch, however, o~verruled their
contention and ordered the trial to
proceed.
The evidence was concluded and
the jury found him guilty shortly at
terward.

states department Of agriculture,

lowing as means for preventing and
control:
For the present, at least can
only indorse the Michigan practice,
which is to dig out and destroy ev-
cry anected tree as soon as It Is dis
covered"
I'm localities where this method
has been practiced with some uni
formtty they still grow peaches sue

eat South Haven, Mich, where the
roofing out process was first prac-
tEced extensively, and where it is yet
in full vigor, they have grown peaches
continuously from the start ls52):
and there are many old orchards,
some of which have stood for %
years. Most orchards OF any
size, do, however, lose some trees
each year, their places being filed by
trees from the nursery. The South
Haven growers, many o. whom I have
met. no longer fear the disease. They
are unanimous In the opinion that
the only proper thing is to dig out and
burn. This plan they have followed
very generally for the past ten years,
during which time the disease has
not prevailed seriously. Previous
to that date many orchards were
ruined, the disease having appeared
first in 1863"
Until we have a fuller knowledge
Of he aetiology of the disease, no
better plan can be suggested. AT
fected trees are always worthless,
and the sooner they are converted
Into stovewood the sooner the new,
healthy trees can be grown in their
places. Dig out, then, an burn. and
do it promptly"
Peach trees ought to be examined
this fall, while the leaves, are still on,
for the peach yellows, and all of the
diseased trees dug out and burned.
IL the. diseased trees are destroyed
now the chnnceS LOT inc Y uS'
ing spread next year to those trees
that are still healthy will be reduced.
Few, If any, OF the prematlrely ripe
fruits with red spots an probably be
found unless there are some on the
late varieties, but the disease can be
recognized by the bushy, broomslike
growths on the trunks and branches.

ton, Morgantown, w Va, is desir.
GUS of obtaining information about
the presence Of peach yellows In DIFF
ferent parts Of the State, and 1t is
hoped that those who are Interested
in this disease will furnish the same
and also send in specimens for ex
