Harvard Club of Washington held its
annual banquet, with the genial DR..

College songs, college yeils, and the
old Harvard spirit abounded In the

Storm Of Debate.

Before this. however. the meeting had
engaged in a tornado Of debate. A most
poetic looking gentleman objected to
adopting the constitution and bylaws
that had ben prepared by the commit
tee. Another secretary, who evidently
had a knife concealed on his person,
also raised a howl. There followed in
rapid succession a cloud Of motions and
a storm Of amendments. The man with
the sorrel hair tore most of it out.
Nearly all the amendments had not
been. seconded, but that made no diff
ference. It took so long to vote on some
of the amendments that the rest OF
them were never voted on. The chair
man looked hopeless and helpless. I'M
med!ately, from all sides Of the cham
her there came big chunks Of useless
advice for the chairman. He looked
more helpless than ever
some one arose and said the objects
Of the club were non-religious, non
nartisan but chiefly for sociability. As
no one man IN the hall knew any other
six. It looked as If sociabiiity in the
crowd could be subserved by the club.
The sentiment was applauded.
viii Tell Purpose.
The gentleman with the sorrel hair
and the CrumpackeF backing announced
that at some later ate he would lay
before the meeting the objects and
possibilities Of the club.
But there IS still q momentous cues
ton undecided. Ara the girl and the
oId-naid secretaries eligible TO the club:
It is evident, therefore, that, although
much was accomplished at the meeting,
there is more to be dealt with.
The Capitol Club is on its feet i,
debates as well as the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and last night it sported
one high silk hat, which was carried
about by its owner as II 1t had been
an heirloom or a sick of dynamite.

A question of vital import
ance is now before the city coun-
Gil in regard to widening the
sidewalk on either side of I'd
street some four feet. AS a prop
erty owner and taxpayer on this
street / feel it will be a serious
mistake, as the walk is plenty
wide enough for all purposes a
fact which will be patent to ev-
eryone when the street is paved.
If we continue to grow demand
will be made for car franchise on
this street and there is nothing
more detsstable than little mar
row street with car line in the
center of it. Give this matter
careful consideration before tax
ing action that will surely be re-
GREETED and serious detriment
to property interests on the

Home Garden Hints,


Strawberry plants are now making
a substantial growth showing. Keep
out the weeds. hoe frequently, and in
early fall plants will be thrifty to set
in a new bed. ~ag; =
1t is none too early to manure piece
heavily for rhubarb. Then cultivate it
once a week or so to incorporate the
manure thoroughly through the ssoiL
Rhubarb is a voracious feeder and re-
guires a large quantity of manure II
best results are to be obtained. One
plant highly fertilized will yield a, sur
prising quantity of stalks. 90 -
Currant cuttings of the new wood
are easily made and If done in early
fall ought to be well rooted SO as to
be transplanted in spring. In some
towns there is never an oversupply of
currants. while If around 10 cents per
quart can be realized for them they
pay well. The large currants are most
profitable, such as the cherry. - ~
The asparagus bed ought to have a
good coating of manure before winter
and then be well cultivated in.
Pick the pears shortly before they
ripen. -

where they have to stand. preferably
in a shaded or partially shaded border.
Late tomatoes are having a good
time. the warm, dry weather suiting
them well If the plants are kept right
at the roots and well cultivated. The
early plants are getting well set with
fruit, and as this begins to swell freely
the plants may be fed and watered a
little more literally. Keep sharp
lookout for the side shoots and pinch
them out regularly. as they take the
strength away from the flower and
fruit clusters. AS the stems grow Sc
cure them to stakes or wires, which
ever is most convenient, SO they will
not be blown about by high winds.
Cucumbers outside are beginning to
fruit, and the vines must not suffer
for lack of nutrfment. Continue to
pinch the points of the shoots of the
young plants where they have not a
sufficient number of vines, and as the
fruits develop cut them when quite
young. A few cucumbers left to go
to seed will take more out Of the vines
than a large crop cut as soon as ready.
Where shallots are fully grown they
may be pulled and laid In the sun to
dry, but let them have another week
or two If not ready. Continue to feed
the onions as long as they are grow
ing and draw out at once any attacked
by maggot or mildew.
