STRANGE TREE DISEASE.
ArboreaI Epidemic Is Devastating For
 ests of the East.

From the New York Times.
 That the strange tree disease for which the government has vainly tried to find a cure, and which has been devastating forests in the east has destroyed 20,- GOO trees in Forest park was stated by Park Commissioner Kennedy of Brook lyn. Of the trees which have succumbed 1e00O were chestnuts. Not only has the disease greatly damaged the forest of the park, but it has deprived the small bows of east New York and Richmond Hill of a Joy which has come to them each fall-that of picking chestnuts In the park Every chestnut tree in the oS5- acre tract has been killed
 The once dense forests of Forest park, which is on the high road above Ja- maica avenue, at the Brookhaven bor- ough line now present a sad sight to lovers of nature Everywhere once state- ly and beautiful chestnuts stand gaunt and lifeless against the green of other trees like ghosts of the forest. Many have been feled by the woodmen but thousands still stand. naked and gray and dead, where oaks and naples and birches display the green glory which spring has brought to them.
 We discovered that this scourge was attacking the trees in the parks five years ago." said Commissioner Kennedy recently We did everything possible to arrest the spread of the disease, but there seemed to be no cure. It attacks the trees inside the bark and there is apparently no way of treating them.

 eral News.

Ensley, May Special. )-Dr. Col lins Denny Of Vanderbilt university oc- cupied the pulpit of the First Methodist church tonight. He addressed a con gregation that taxed the capacity of the tabernacle to the utmost. Dr. Den ny took for his tn eme the possibilities of a godly man. Hhe launched boldly into his subject and in language graphic and eloquent portrayed the advantages of living a godly life
 Every word, every sentence was list ened to with eagerness by the congre gation present, which seemed to be swayed by the sound logic of the learned divine. It was instructive and inspiring and there were few present who were not moved by the earnest manner in which the doctrine of right eous living was expounded.
 The people of Ensley in general and the members of the Ensley Methods church in particular feel indebted to Dr. Denny for his interest in the church here. His visit was brief but the hope Is expressed that he will soon return in another capacity. He has been prom mently mentioned as a possibility for a bish opric in the Meth odist church.

From Youth s Companion.
 New Englander. travelling on foot through the southern mountains study ing the people, asked a man whom he met to direct him to a certain cabin at which he had been advised to stay over. night.
 ''Goin' thar?" said the man. Well. Toms a first-rater, take him just right; but he's mighty queer"
 What do you mean?' asked the trav- eler
 well, it's just like this" and the man looked at the stranger In calm, imper- sonal way. Hell be setting outside, most probably, an he'll see you comn' i; he'll take a good look at you, an eff you don't suit him he may set the dog on you.
 "Ef he don't an you get to talkin' with him, an say anything he don't just like, he may throw you down an tromp on you. But eff you're too careful in your talk, on the other hand, he's liable to take you for spy an use his gun fust an listen to explanations after wards
 But it's no use tryin' to get by with out stoppin'" concluded the man, with evident relish of the prospect he was opening up to the stranger. "Ef you was to undertake that 'twould be all up with you, for he would think you was proud and biggetty.
 "Ef you want to come out of the mountains whole. don't go past Toms cabin without stoppin'. whatever you -do.'

IDAHO TO FEED ELK.
Will Try to Prevent the Slaughter by
 Tusk Hunters.

From the Idaho Statesman.
 An effort will be made by the state to prevent as far as possible a repetition of the wanton destruction of large numbers of elk which took place In Fremont coun- ty last winter.
 The animals had been driven by ex- treme hunger to approach the settlements and weak from starvation and struggling in the unusually deep snow when they reached the lowlands. were killed and skinned. In many cases reduced to mere skeletons, their meat could not be used.
 The idea of the game warden Is to ar- range, if possible, to have cheap hay shipped into the country where the elk abound, and place 1t where the animals, when their natural food supply gives out. will be able to find food. Several of the ranchers In the elk country have put out hay for the animals for number of years and they have not been long in locating 1t when the snow gets deep in the hills In this manner they are ena- bled to keep in good condition through

LAW AGAINST FAKES.
Reporter Accuses Two Men of Giving
 Him False Information.

From the New York Herald.
 For the first time since it's enactment by the legislature, two years ago, the statute that makes it a misdemeanor for any one to give false information to a newspaper was invoked in the city court yesterday. Ernest M. Welch, a lawyer, and William T. Taylor, the formers 5 client, were charged by John J. Finnigan, a reporter for a New York morning newspaper, with supplying him with false information on which he based what proved to be an erroneous story involv- ing grave reflections on respected woman.
 Before taking this case up,' said Judge La Eetra, T want to say that it is illegal for any one to parcel out fakes or false stories to newspapers. For a lawyer to be guilty of any such indis- erection is 1t doubly criminal, for the req son that he not only does an injustice to the newspapers, but he puts the bar association in bad repute. Both have troubles enough to contend with without anomalies of the character contained in the papers before me-"
