Violation OF Agreement Charged.


Mr.. Richard Bell, MP, the secretary
of the mems union, has written to. the
board of trade, declaring that certain &C
lions of the Midland company are direct
violation of the agreement, and that the
men must be liberated from 1t as much as
the companies. Mr.. Bell sent to the
newspapers copies of letters which he has
forwarded to Sir Ernest Paget, chairman
of the Midland railway, and the board OF
trade, alleging that the dismissalS are re-
garded as acts of intimidation, and de-
manding. on the part of the board Of
trade, immediate inquiry into the real
facts of the case.
Mr.. Bell declared in speech at Derby
that it is the function of the state to re.
mind these great corporations of the seri-
Gus nature of projects for stopping a fall
in dividends by bringing starvation to
thousands of men, women and children.

DWARF FRUITS.
Earllness is Their Chief Point Of Ad.
vantage Over Other Varieties,

Dwarf fruits cannot be made com.
mercially profitable. but they have
some advantages over other fruits in
the earliness with which the tree be-
gins TO bear. Dwarf pears under good
treatment as to soil come quickly into
bearing. The most prolific sorts give
some fruit the second year after set.
ting, and increase the product from
year TO year for a number OF years.
A good many dwarf apples are now
being planted. and these soon produce
good crops. or course these trees are
shortllved and cannot be made to
take the place Of the standard sort
OF apples and pears. There are
many farms, however. on which IL ia
desired to have some fruit IL a
few years, and these furnish the
means.
They should not, however. be plant
ed between rows OF standard trees, as
some suggest, but in plantation by
themselves. The plan Of planting be-
tween standard trees shortlived trees
that are to be dug out never works
out satisfactorily. Here and there will
be found a short.lIved tree OF more
than usual value and longevity and
the owner will not cut It out. Nor
should such trees be dispensed with
till they have passed their period of
usefulness. II they are In q planta.
ton OF their OWE the best trees can
be left to grow and bear fruit long

remedy for woman's Ills that the
world has ever known.

The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cuie
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in

From the roots and herbs of the

thirty years ago gave to the women

Rome March 20.-The Duke of the Abruzzi is returning to Rome accord ing to report In wide circulation here tonight to obtain the full consent of King Victor Emmanuel to his marriage with Miss Katherine Edkins, daughter of Senator stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia. Although confirmation of the report Is lacking, the fact that no off cial denial has been given out in Rome and the statt me 1t made at Washing ton that the Duke will revisit America in the near future. seem 10 lend con siderable weight to it.
 LItalie says that the Roman people would review with favor the presence in the Eternal City of a royal princess representing America.

 The question of Miss Elkins becom- ing Roman Catholic does not occupy the public mind. the vatican having de- clared it would not put any obstacle in the way of the marriage.

As was forecasted in the Journal Courier yesterday morning. the New Haven road. at the close of the em- ployes' week last night. 100 more of the machinists, their helpers and the boi- lermakers were discharged. This re- duces the force greatly and there are only a few more left to strike, should one be called on March oS
 The reason given for these wholesale discharges IS that there is no work for the men to do, but they deny this and say there is plenty of work in repairing the engines.
 The hundred who were told that their services were no longer required, had received no hint of 1t up 10 paying off time. Then the entire hundred were in- formed. This makes 950 with whose services the road has dispensed with in two weeks.

Sheffield Freshman Visited Taft School Presumably to See His

Marcus Hanna, the Shelf freshman who last week surprised his friends and classmates by marrying, in Bridgeport, Miss Adele Pratt, the fiancee of an Elmira physician, was married again to Miss Pratt yesterday afternoon by Rev H. N Cunningham at Watertown, the home of the Taft school, where Hanna's first romance took place.
 When Hanna and Miss Pratt were married in Bridgeport justice of the peace performed the ceremony, and, as both of them are Episcopallans, they dld not think the knot had been tied quite tight enough and so dc- cided on their leisure honeymoon to have it done over again.
 Yesterday morning they went to Waterbury and stopped and lunched at the Hotel Elton In the afternoon they went out to Watertown, presum- ably to sec Hanna's brother, who is a pupil at Taft school There they pro- cured a licence from Assistant Town Clerk Hickox and were married by Rev. MT. Cunningham.
