An Interesting Pamphlet.

Through the courtesy of Gen.
Pass. Agt., S. G. Hatch, this Of
flee is in receipt of a pamphlet on

address by Capt. J. F. Merry,
General immigration Agent OF
the Y. & M. V. Railroad com
pany, before the Two States
Farmers Institute of Natchez,
Mississippi, of November 70,
1908. It is a logical discussion
of a method of reducing the ray
ages of "boll weevil' and other
crop pests in the South, and this
paper has already quoted largely
from the address.

zer with soil. Procure 2 ounces

lightly over bed. This will grow
sufficient plants for one acre. A
canvas should be placed over the
bed about two feet high.

inches high set in field. Set
ANTS deep, land having been
prepared by deep blowing ano
narrowing. Set plants about. Z

WASHINGTON MEN ACCUSED
MESSAGE REQUESTING THAT
ARRESTS BE MADE.
George w. Coldenstroth and Samuel
Bensinger Alleged to Have 'Vio-
lated Law in Maryland.

A message was received at police head
quarters last night from States Attor-
ney Magruder Of Prince George county.
Md. asking that two residents Of this
city be arrested for the Maryland au-
thorities. It was stated that an indict-
ment had been returned against George
w. Coldenstroth for an alleged violation
Of the gambling law at the Kenilworth
Club. while Samuel Bensinger. it was
stated. had been accused Of making q
misstatement before county officers.
Papers were received from the Maryland
authorities for the arrest of the men. but
the local police recalled what transpired
only q few months ago, when an arrest
was made under similar conditions for the
Prince George county authorities. and
refused to make the arrests without the
presentation Of acquisitions. The charge
against ColdenstrOth.' 1t Is stated, Is for
the same alleged offense that was charged
against him 2 few weeks ago and about
''Yes, / understand these old proceed
ings against me in Marlboro have been
revived" said Mr.. Goldenstroth last night
when seen by Star reporter. They
are relative to the alleged gambling in
the Keniiworth Club. I am not pre-
pared to discuss the matter tonight or
say what I shall endeavor to do. The
reviving Of the matter is unjust, consid-
ering the nolie PROSE- entered some time
ago. and. too, am absolutely innocent
Of any violation of the Maryland gam
bling laws. I was placed in an unfortu-
nate position by being made to stand the
brunt of the charges because Of my FORM
er presidency of the club"
The statement that the old charges are
to be revived against Mr.. Goldenstroth
didn't appear to bother him very much
He seemed to consider the matter as one
in which he had been charged without
foundation, and that he could refute the
accusation IL brought to trial.

Banner" was beautiful and inspiring.
AS soon as the President heard the
first strain of the national anthem he
rose to his feet and barred his head. Mrs.
Taft rose right after him. but he turned
to her and told her not to remain on her
feet If she was tired. and she resumed
her seat before the number was COM
pleted. Capt. Butt. and Lieut.. Palmer
uncovered in military manner. at the
same time bringing their horses to at
tention. Gen. Edwards was about to
mount. He stopped, clicked his heels to-
gether and stood at attention.
Everybody in the carriages arose. and
the men in the vast throng on the grass
barred their heads Not even the shrill
whistle of a freight train on the Long
bridge or of a tug passing up the river
broke the stiffness as the band Of dusky
men from the other side Of the earth
played the anthem.
When 1t was over pent-up cheer broke
forth from the crowd for the President
and Mrs. Taft, both of whom acknowl-
edged the homage gracefully. And then
the White House chauffeur started the
White House machine. the secret service
man climbed in the front seat alongside

German ambition in the direction of Sa-
loniki is the big bear of the situation.
Any paralysis of Turkey by internal dis
sension would create rare opportunity,
which would hardly be allowed to slip.
Russia, after her humiliation three
weeks ago by Germany, would remain
impotent. France feels that she must
avoid war at the present moment under
all circumstances. The pusillanimous
government of England would not fight
TO avert any change in the map OF Eu-
rope.
All these considerations arise from the
almost bloodless mutiny of 10000 troops

China, with all it's vast population,
boasts not quite two dozen daily pa
pers, but among them are the two old
est papers in the world. The Kin Pan
used to be considered by Europeans
the oldest paper, but it has been issued
a mere thousand years. The Using Pao,
or Pekin News, was first published 500
years before the Norman conquest and
has been issued without intermission
for nearly 1.4OO years. The Using Pao
has the appearance of a yellow backed
magazine of twenty-four octave pages,
each page containing seven columns,
consisting of seven "characters."
Two editions are published-an edi-
ton de luxe for the court and the up
per classes at a cost Of "a cents a
month, and an edition inferior in paper
and printing, costing 16 cents month.
1t has circulation of about 10000 and
is really the principal paper of China,
chronicling the movements Of the en-
peror and of the court and printing
the ministerial reports. It is probably
the most exact newspaper in the world.
