STONE GETS A RIDE
IN A BLACK MARIA

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Stone was fighting mad when he reached
washington from Baltimore this morn
ing after his encounter with negro
waiter on the Pennsylvania railroad. He
remarked that "the Pennsylvania rail-
road would have some tall explaining to
do"
ct told the negro who waited on me
TO bring me a lamb chop and some boiled
eggs and then called him back and or
dered him to bring me a drink of Scotch
whisky and large tumblerful of water.
HE brought the whisky in small
glass and with 1t he brought another
small glass containing some water.
called him back and told him to bring
me a large glass of water. l spoke
sharply to him.. He came back In a III
tie while with a large glass and a chunk
of ice in it, but no water.
Everyone else in the car was served
and had finished eating, but there was no
sign of my food. 1 walked back to the
kitchen and asked the cook why 1 was
not being served. He pointed to my
lunch, which was all cooked, waiting for
the waiter. That gentleman put IN an
appearance and 1 uttered remarks cal
culated to make him sit up and take no
tice. He started to answer me back.
trying to show your resentment Then l
reached over and slapped his face. A
fresh young person who introduced him-
self as the Pullman porter happened
along in a little while and asked me
what 1 meant by creating trouble. That
made me madden still, and told him
few things. He said he would show
me- When the train got to Baltimore
two special officers came up to my seat
accompanied by the negro. The negro
formally identified me, and 1 was placed
under arrest.
'They sent a telephone call for the
Black Maria. 1 started to tell one OF the
policemen that I could not be arrested
for assault but he knew as much about
the subject of constitutional rights as
hog knows about the decalogue. 1 had
the extreme pleasure of riding to the po-
lice station in the patrol wagon with the
negro.
1T told them who I was at the police
station and l offered cash bail, but II
would not go. Then 1 tried to get Sena-
tor. Rayner on the telephone but he was
not home. A cell doomed before me, but
the police lieutenant finally got permits
sion from some one over the telephone
to release me on my own recognizance.
I'm going over for my hearing this
afternoon at o'clock.
1.-THE whole affair was an outrage, and
I'm not going to submit to it tamely.
The Pennsylvania railroad has got lot
of tall explaining to do before 1 will be
satisfied"

Annie Morrison Stuart, members of prom

DESTROYED BY FIRE

BRUNSWICK. Ca, July 2s.-Through
the burning yesterday of Kings Re-
treat, summer home on st. simons
island, there has been removed one of the
most historical OF the ante-bellum places
remaining in this section.
The King family which owned the re-
treat for several generations were wealthy
slave owners. and before the war were
very prominent in the affairs of the state
and nation.
During the war several of the sons
held high rank in the Confederacy, one
of them giving his life for his country.
The Retreat" was built In 100 by James
Spalding. How IL caught fire is not
known. In the old homes history it has
sheltered among other noted persons,
Aaron Burr and Fanny Kemble. The

liable and il had not been repaired
After standing over two centuries the
kewn live oak timbers in the structure
were solid.

BOYS SKULL BROKEN
PLAYING LEAPFROG

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The fact that
James Graham. IL years old, was one of
the best leap-frog players among his
companions is a contributing cause to
his presence in st. Vincent's hospital,
where he IS dying with fractured skull,
seven broken ribs and internal injuries.
James was playing leap-frog on the roof
of a seven-story tenement in West Tenth
street, when he made such a long leap
over the Bonded back of another boy
that instead of landing on the roof of
the house, he went down the airshaft
seven stories to the bottom. In that
neighborhood there are no Fairgrounds,
and most of the children play either on
the streets or on the roofs.

QUERIES ANSWERED
TREATMENT FOR AN INFLAMED
UDDER.

TREATMENT FOR AN INFLAMED
UDDER.
NJ. A. NJ, Acworth, Ca, writes: ! am
a subscriber to The Semi-Weekly Journal
and think II is one Of the best papers I
have ever read. 1 have a COW that am
uneasy about. About ten days ago there
came a hard lump on one of her teats,
and then Il went up into the udder, and
she got lame in her left leg, and then her
right side seemed TO be affected. She
has eaten very we'll until the last day,
and she is losing flesh and falling of in
milk rapidly.
The trouble with your cows udder was
probably caused by an injury or bruise,
or to a failure to draw the milk prop
erly for one or more days, which resulted
in the cal1ing of the section of the udder
through the setting up of Inflammation.
Inflammation Of the udder may arise
from any OF the causes mentioned, or
from undesirable bacteria gaining ac-
cess TO II through the milk well. Where
this occurs It is best to use a solution Of
one part OF carbolic acid to so parts of
boiled water TO disinfect the interior Of
the udder. The solution should be con-
Quoted into the udder by means OF a
glass tip and funnel connected with
short piece Of rubber tubing. The solu-
ton should be allowed to remain in the
udder for a short while and then MIXED
out. Battle the udder with hot fomenta-
lions for at least 20 minutes at a time
and rub II dry after bathing. A good So
luton to use on the udder may be pre-
pared as follows: Dissolve two table
spoonsful OF gum camphor In a teacupful
OF melted fresh lard, and add one ounce
of fluid extract OF belladonna Battle the
udder three times daily and rub well with
the ointment. With regard to the SWELL
ing in other parts OF the body, they are
probably temporary and may have re-
suited from other causes. We would
suggest that you give the COW dose Of
salts for about three mornings in success
sion. This will cleanse the alimentary
canal and cool the system, and will prob
ably stimulate the appetite and improve
her condition generally.

REMARKABLE RELIGIOUS
DEMONSTRATION MADE

NEW YORK, July 27.-One Of the most
remarkable religious demonstrations ever
witnessed in this country has been
brought to a close in the Church of st.
Jean Baptiste, in East 18th street, where,
in a little silver case, are treasured two
small bones that are believed to be from
the wrist Of st. Anne, mother of the Vir-
gin Mary. On the first of the nine days
of the novena remarkable cures were re-
ported among them being a woman who
is said to have regained her sight. This
and many reports of similar miracles
caused the little church to be besieged
day and night by the lame and the halt,
and many pitiful scenes were witnessed.
The rush of supplicants became so great
that special details of policemen formed
the crowds into lines and were always
present at the church to preserve order
Many persons seeking to be cured came
from distant cities and hundreds came
from adjacent localities.
KANKAKEE, H., July H-Lillian, the
3-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Fountain, was cured of blindness
yesterday on the occasion of the annual
pilgrimage to the shrine of st. Anne, at
St. Anne, Ill, marking the close of a nine
days novena.
Led to the altar by her mother, the
child suddenly staggered back in af-
fright as her closed eyelids opened. Cry
ing for JOY the mother pushed her way
through the crowd Of cripples and friends
and hurried with the little one to a near
by home.
At the age of seven months the child
became blind from the effects of blood
poisoning caused by whooping cough.

The remedies which may be used to control
ana eradicate this disease are the following: :
Diseased plants should be taken up roots ana
All and burned. Be careful not to scatter the
fungus about through the cultivation OF the SOIL
For instance, the spores may attach themselves
10 the cultivaor or the hoes, and new areas OIL
land be infected. Drainage water should not be
allowed to wash from diseased parts Of the
field on to rev land. Compost should not be
made from diseased plants. Practice a rota
ton OF crops since cotton and okra are the two
plants chiefly affected by this trouble. Use a
resistant variety. In every field attacked by
black root yOu viii find plants which are re-
sistant to the disease; these are what are known
as immune plants, and the seed should be
saved for planting. Some varieties are more
susceptible TO this trouble than others, as, Tor
instance Florodora. while Jackson's Limbless Is
almost immune. The surest and best method is
TO select seed from resistant plants found grow
ing In the field.
We know Of no reason why cotton should die
after sugar cane, unless the fertility Of the
land has been greatly reduced by this crop
which draws heavily the soil constituents.
OF course, the trouble may be due to an infestG-
ton of the soil by certain spores which do not
injure sugar cane, but attack cotton.
For winter hog pasture, we would suggest that
yOu establish as possible patch or
alfalfa; then sow some crimson clover, some
hairy vetch and some cereals with the vetch.
Rye, oats or wheat may be used. On Bermuda
sod there is nothing better to use than burr
clover or vetch. All of the crops mentioned can
be grown with success II the land is properly
prepared and fertilized and will enable you TO
have an abundance OF grazing for hogs.

FLY KILLER NOT FLY PAPER.
Pharmacy Commission Holds prussists

Pharmacy Commission Holds Druggists
Only Can Soil 1t.
Des Moines, Sept 2.-Altho the last
legislature passed a law permitting
grocers to sell poison fly paper, they
have no right to sell Daisy fly killers.
SO holds the state pharmacy commits
sion, which held meeting at the state
house yesterday and laid down a num-
Der of rules for the guidance of Iowa
druggists.
Under the boards ruling only regis
tered pharmacists can sell the product
known as Daisy fly killer. A former
legislature passed law prohibiting
anyone but registered druggists from
selling any kind of poison fly paper.
This law was repealed by the last gen
eral assembly but the pharmacy COM
mission holds that Daisy fly killer does
not come within the provisions of the
law because it isn't a paper. 1t con-
sists of a tin box filled with an arsenic
solution and with small sponges pro-
truding from the top. When a fly
alights on the sponge and takes sip
of the liquid its days are numbered.
Another thing that the pharmacy
commission intends to stop is the fill
ing of prescriptions by nurses in hos
pitfalls. 1t is said this practice has be-
come general over the sttae
