Brewers steadied themselves, and by max

small margins, and thereby won the cham

The Second Season.
The season just closed is the second of
The Evening Star Duckpin League. It has
been wonderfully successful one in many
ways. The year is divided into two series,
the first beginning in September and clos
ing in December; the second running from
February TO April In each series prizes
are awarded to the first and second teams,
as well as for high averages, etc They
are the cause of a great deal of friendly
rivalry among the individual members, all
of whom are employees of The Star. Here
tofore the league has been composed of
only four teams, but 1t is more than
probable that two more teams will be add
ed next season.
Not the least interesting feature of this
league is a little weekly sheet it publishes
devoted to the interests of the bowiers. It
is the size of three newspaper columns and
contains lively topics on the bowling game,
as well as stories of the league games and
notes about the individual bowlers In it
are also published records of the games, the
averages. standing of the teams, etc. 1t is

FIRST GAME OF PRINTING
OFFICE LEAGUE TOMORROW

The initial game of the Government
Printing Office Base Ball League will be
played tomorrow. the Blanks and Pressmen
teams being scheduled to open the season.
Public Printer Stillings will be present to de-
liver the opening address and incidentally
pitch the first ball. Everything is in readi-
ness for the opening, the grounds being in
excellent condition. The players, too, are
IN good shape. having had two weeks OF
steady practice.
At meeting of the league held last week
Mr.. ]. K. Bishop was elected president and
Mr. Fred Arents was chosen for the joint
office of secretary-treasurer.
The games will again be played on the
Malone lot, corner North Capitol and M
streets. and will begin at $50 pm.
The schedule calls for four games a
week and the season is to run up until
July 6. There will be no games on
Wednesdays or Saturdays.
Although there will be only four clubs In
the league this year Cowboys, Blanks,
Freshmen and Duplex, 1t Is expected that
the playing viii be much superior to that of
last season, as many unattached players,
such as clerks, helpers and laborers, who
were prohibited from playing last year,
have been devided among the various clubs
by lot and each team has been strength
ened considerably.

Dust SpraYina.

Spraying by means OF dust has been
discussed in these columns quite Oft
en-. So far as Investigations have been
made in the past the liquid spray
would seem to be superior TO the dust
spray. Some experiments have been
made in Delaware, however, that seem
to show that the dust spray can be
used proftably under some conditions.
II was used there during the days
when heavy dews prevailed, and it
was estimated that the cost was about
half that of the liquid spray. Apple,
plum, peach, pear and cherry trees
were sprayed. The codling moth and
apple scab were successfully con-
trolled by this means. The only dust
spray that seems to be effective, how
ever, is pulverized copper sulphate and
hydrated lime, to which paris green
or some other poison has been added.

Ashes for Fruit Trees.

have found out by experience
that wood ashes is the best fertilizer
that we can put around our fruit
trees. Ashes should be placed closer
TO the trunks Of the trees than other
fertilizers. The quantity of ashes to
be placed around a tree depends up
on the size of the tree and the
strength Of the ashes. About a peck
Of good strong ashes is enough for a
tree just set in the ground, but If
the ashes are leached, about again
as many may be used. Older trees
need more; about two bushels will do
for a tree five years old. have found
that wood ashes make a better fertil-
izer than barnyard manure. The ma
nure causes a more rapid growth, be-
ing more apt to winter kill. while the
growth produced by the ashes is more
sound and therefore can better endure
the winter than the other growth. APP
pie trees treated with ashes yield from
one-half to one-third more sound ap-
pies. The trees and vines benefited
by ashes are peach, pear, apple. cher
ry, plum, grape, raspberry, blackberry
and strawberry. Wood ashes are a
common and ready source of potash.
They improve the mechanical condi-
ton Of most soils. The lime they con-
tain tends to correct "sourness" and
to promote the important chemical
process of nitrification. Corncob ashes
are the best for potash, as they sup
ply from Is to 20 per cent of pure
potash. 1t has been estimated that
every one thousand pounds of hard
wood ashes will give about sixty
pounds of potash, and when COM
pared with that in cobs they are worth
much more in the shape of ashes

House wedding the occasion of having
eighteen bridesmaids. If Miss Alice
Roosevelt had hidden eighteen of her
girl friends to be maids she would
have been obliged to ask fifty If she
would not give offense. The result
was that it was decided not to have
any bridesmaids or even maid-of-hon-
or. Her sole attendant was her little
half-sister, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, flow
er girl
With Mr.. Longworth it was a SIM
pier proposition. He had the conven-
tional wedding party of eight ushers
and a best man. His best man was
his brother-in-law, the Viscount de
Chambrun, who married Miss Long
worth. The Viscount is also one of
Miss Roosevelt's closest men friends.
Thousands Of other brides the land
over have given their hearts and their
hands to exactly the same words as
Miss Roosevelt gave hers Saturday.

this to about twenty minutes.
Custom requires no altar in a pri-
vate dwelling. Instead there was

during the prayers. and nothing more.
Miss Roosevelt joined her father up
stairs and came down the grand stair
case on his arm. Preceded by the
ushers and little Miss Ethel, with her
basket of flowers. she entered the
room with her father.
At the right of the clergymen Mr.

man. Mr.. Roosevelt handed his
daughter to the bridegroom and
stepped aside TO the left. When

back again, that ended his part in the
ceremony.

Before perhaps the most conspicu-
ously august assembly that ever
graced the famous East Room in the
Executive Mansion, Miss Alice Roose-
welt, eldest daughter Of the President,
was united in marriage to Nicholas
Longworth, Congressman from Ohio,
shortly after - o'clock Feb. II. 1t
was the first White House wedding in
nearly twenty years, and, according
to the usual reckoning, the twelfth in
number.
Since the day that Frances Folsom
became the bride of Grover Cleveland
at the White House many things have
happened. A new era has dawned
upon the country. Nations pay the
United States homage now; there
were but the formal amenities then.
And, moreover that was the quietest
OF weddings, where this one was all
that taste and display and unlimited
social power could make 1t.

the show place of the beautifully SIM
Pile White House. 1t is large and airy,
and not incumbered with heavy hang
ings. 1t is finished in delicate white
and gold, quite the appropriate setting
for beautiful wedding.
OF course the Waite House conser-
vatories were drawn upon largely for
the flowers and plants. Orchids, white
roses, carnations and white hyacinths
were all used in profusion, with
masses of potted azaleas and banks
of palms and ferns. There was a for
al bower over the prie-dieu, made of
bride roses and white ribbons and
twined with Southern smilax and lau-
rel.
