A POLITICAL FAMILY.

The Countess of Carlisle, one of the
most brilliant of living Englishwomen,
is a rampant Radical in politics. Her
husband, the earl. is a Conservative Of
the old-fashioned type, who regards the
House of Lords as the chief pillar OF
the British constitution. The children
of this distinguished couple, of whom
there are eight surviving, exhibit the
same diversity of political opinions, the
men generally holding the views of their
father and the women those Of their
mother.
Gladstone once said of Lady Car
Isle that she was zone of the most val
liable assets of the Liberal party" In
deed, she is universally acknowledged
to be power by her own side and a
doughty foe by her opponents. When
her eldest son, Lord Morpeth, was con-
testing a Birmingham division for Par.
lament, the chamberlain remarked to
him:
"If women were allowed to stand for
election, suppose we should have your
mother down here running against you
as Liberal candidate"
II have not a doubt of it," replied
the viscount, "and a poor figure or
any other man would cut beside her.
She Is one of the best of mothers, but
for the good of the country, as she sees
1t, my defeat, so long as was beaten
by Radical, would cause her more
satisls cTion than my election. And my
sister Dorothy is the same way"
1t Is an interesting fact that when
| this family espouses opposite sides In
public 1t is the side on when the wom-
en- are found that most often wins.
That was the case at recent by-elec-
ton In the Hexham division of North
cumberland. The Liberal candidate was
elected by large majority.
One of the issues was the House Of
Lords. Lord Morpeth made several
speeches in favor of maintaining unre-
stricted the legislative powers of the
peers. And his sister, Lady Dorothy
Howard, who has inherited her moth
er's gift of speech, as often demolished
them, demonstrating, to the nuge enjoy
ment Of her audience, that on unfet-
tered House of Lords constituted the
greatest obstacle to legislative progress
| in the kingdom. At one Of the meet
ings addressed by Lord Mof2eth, Lady
Dorothy distributed leaflets, advocating
Liberal principles among the people for
whose enlightenment her brother was
engaged In propounding Conservative
doctrines.
While canvasslng, brother and sister
frequently ran across each other, when
there was lively exchange of banter.
| 81 say, Dorothy" exclaimed Lord
Morpeth on one occasion, ut is no use
your going in there !"--indicating a
house which ne had just left Il have
secured that little lot"
81 suppose you mean that you've kiss
Eed.all the babies In the famiiy!" was
the retort. "At that game admit |
am no match for you, but | can beat
YOU all hollow when it comes to talk
ing over the men. When l leave that
house shall have captured that little
lot of yours for the other side"
So it proved, according to contrib
utor to the London Daily News, which
records these divisions in the noble
house of Carlisle.
Perhaps the most striking thing about
this interesting family is that they
never quarrel They are dlsunited po-
|litically, yet they live together in the
sweetest unity.

materials for the orchardists free of
cost. BY united, concerted action on
the part OF the people of the Grand
valley million dollars worth of fruit
was saved.
The temperature was not as low
here as at Grand Junction and IL 1t
could have been raised six degrees last
Saturday night by smudging, as every
body believes 1t could, at least 80 per
cent Of our orchard products could
have been saved from the frost. The
experience of horticulturists in the
Grand Junction district conclusively
demonstrates the value OF smudging
to prevent damage from frost and
henceforth will be invoked by the peo-
pie of that section of the state when
ever the fruit crop is threatened from
that source. Smudging would, no doubt
be equally preventative and effacac-
ious here The Canon City district is
ideally located for smudging, the sur
rounding hills holding the smoke in
the valley where it Is most needed
That some steps will be taken by the
Fremont Fruitgrowers' Association to
Instruct and prepare onr orchardists
to fight impending frosts with smudges
goes without saying. What system will
be adopted is for the horticulturists
to say. 1t is reported that the fruit
growing industry in central and
northern California would be a failure
three years out Of five II no smudging
was done to minimize the loss from
frost. Smudging is an exact science
among the orchardists Of the Pacific
coast, and will become more and more
popular here az the years go by.

In preventing damage In the orchards
from spring frOsts. 1t Is considered by
everybody that the climate, soil and
environment here is as favorable for
fruit raising as they are anywhere In
the country, indeed, we enjoy peculiar
advantages in that respect. The recent
frosts were unexpected and abnormal
and may not occur for generation
again. 1t is the contingencies, how
ever, that must be guarded against,
and we must be ready to anticipate
the losses accruing from them by in
voking such preventatives as lie with
In our power.
The very generous offer OF the Fre-
mont County National bank to meet all
expenses connected with the sending
OF commission to the western slope
to Investigate the value OF smudging
is highly enterprising and commend
able, Such an investigation, IL thor
ough and exhaustive, cannot fail to be
OF much real benefit to the community.

To the Editor OF the Record:
Reports from the western slope

artificial means the low temperature
prevailing over the state last Satur-
day and early In the week was modI-
fed In that section to an extent that
a major part OF their fruit crop was

While II is too late for us to over-
come our own misfortune In that line
this year. yet II is not too early TO be-
gin to devise means to avert another
such occurrence. In Grand Junction
we are informed the temperature was
raised some eleven degrees by the
means OF "smudging,' In the Canon
City district raise OF four or f,ye de-
grees would have saved the entire
crop. Certainly we have been nexli-
gent In not using this means which
has been in use not only In Colorado
but also In Utah. Idaho. California and
other western states for several years.

Editor OF the Record:
| have read with interest the COM
municatiOn OF Mr.. George F. Rockafel-
low which appeared in your Issue OF
yesterday. The suggestions therein
contained are certainly entitled to
earnest consideration.
For my part l shall be pleased to
give my time In connection with a rep
resentative of the Fruit Growers to
make the investigation proposed and
to cooperate in any other way with
our citizens to any extent that may be
necessary in establishing a system to
preserve our fruit crop from frost In
the future.
From Information now at hand 1t
seems that a system of smudging has
been used successfully by the fruit
growers In other sections OF the state
and that being the case there is no
reason why we should not do SO here
In fact the conditions existing in our
fruit growing district are ideal for
that purpose. What we need first IL
knowledge as to the best system to be
employed and second, cooperation In
carrying 1t out. o "a

Walhalla, Sept. 2.-Coroner J. W.
Holloman received notice today at 2
o'clock to 60 to Seneca to investi-
gate double tragedy, which occurred
at Seneca, eight miles from here,
shortly before 2 o'clock.
The tragedy was one Of the most
narrowing Oconee has witnessed in
years. J. F. Hinkle shot and mortal
" wounded Mrs. Emma L. Anderson,
proprietress Of the Anderson boarding
house while they were in :. conversa-
tion in the dining room Of Mrs. An
derson's home, and as soon as he had
committed the awful deed, Hinckle
turned the weapon upon himself, fir
inc point blank under his chin, the
ball ranging upward and into the
brain. Within a few minutes he had
expired before having spoken to any
one.
Mrs. Anderson fingered until 8
O'Clock tonight, when she }.ed with
out having regained CONSCIOUSNESS.
Hinckle fired three shots at Mrs.
Anderson, one of which was warded
off bv her, one breaking her arm and
the third entering her body between
the seventh and eighth ribs and COM
ing out at the back, crashing through
her body close to the heart. Mrs. An
derson ran from the room and was
caught by some one as she fell NOR
tally wounded
It is stated the first shot fired was
aimed at Mrs. Anderson's daugh-
ter. two of her children being in the
room with her when she and Hlnckle
entered the room. Hinckle engaged
Mrs. Anderson in a conversation I'M
der the pretext Of wishing to pay his
board bill. It is understood that he
had been a persistent suitor for Mrs.
Anderson's affection for some time
and that todav's tragedy was the cul-
mination of her refusal to marry
him. Several notes were left by him
and are in the possession of Coroner
Holloman. but their contents have no!
been made public.
For number Of years Hinekle was
