PERIL IN TRIMMING TREES
An Editorial Expert Ventures n Few
with Becoming
Dfmdence.

It knows that men who are able TO dis
russ Christian Science, vivisection, woman
suffrage and the tariff on suede gloves
without observation OF judgment or in
crease Of pressure in the carotid arteries
find, when the trimming of trees is men,
toned, that against the rock of prejudice
surges a whirlpool OF emotions. Neighbors
nave been known to go on in peace and
amity for years, though members of diff
ferent churches, political parties and tennis
clubs, and then come to the parting OF the
ways when the catalpa trees become large
enough to bear the weight of a man with a
saw, and whole streets have been embit-
tered over the question whether a %particu-
lar box elder should be cut Merry Widow
or In the style of the First Empire.
In such a case II is always safe to con-
fine comment to a simple recital of fact,
with necessary explanations, and We there
fore rise merely to remark that the Ital-
ians know a trick or two in the trimming
Of trees worth noting, and that 1t is just
possible that the race that invented the
wheeIbarrow and the triple-screw warship
and produced Columbus and signnr Mar
conf is worth a little casual attention now
and then outside of matters concerning
the Malta and the Black Hand.
When the common or garden variety OF
tree trimming American feels the arboreal
instinct inherited from his simian ances-
tors stirring within him, he Is seized with
a wild yearning to cut off main branches
near the trunk. leaving unsightly scars
n to lop off other important ramifeations
a few feet from their point of divergence
50 that when he has wrought his worst
the tree resembles a hearth broom which
has come through a long, cold winter in
the hands of a careful housewife, He
trims his trees as he governs his cities;
periods OF magnificent indifference are
punctuated by moments of pernicious ac-
uvity.
Not so with the Italian. He lives with
his trees. He does not perform capital
operations; the trimming Of an Italian tree
is like the cutting OF a well groomed mans
hair; II Is done a little at a time. and
not erected into an annual festival. The
Italian. except for the occasional removal
OF a branch too near the ground, cuts the
extreme ends OF the boughs OF his trees.

without manipulation OF any kind a
slightest adverse report on the growing
wheat crop will send the price on the
Omaha market to $3.50 or more"
This is the opinion OF W. C. Sunderland,
one Of the best posted members Of the
Omaha Grain exchange, backed by that of
almost every grain dealer who could be
interviewed on the wheat situation. which
is the talk Of the business world in Omaha
as elsewhere.
Talk of manipulation on this market Is
absurd said Mr.. Sunderland. with May

the Omaha market for Sl.261k and bringing
S1.96q1.s7h in Chicago. there can certainly
be no manipulation when the freight from
Omaha to Chicago is ~ cents. That would
make the wheat selling at 81. 261s in Omaha
worth 31SSA in Chicago. No manipulation
possible. It is simply a matter of supply
and demand.
Every year the population OF this coun-
try is increasing. and besides Ne are teach
ing the foreigners who come 70 this country
to eat white bread. That is a big increase
In the consumption OF itself. The foreigners
come here accustomed to bread made of
cereals other than wheat. They are not
here over two years until they are heavy
consumers of white bread. They consume
It in such quantities that It has its effect
on the worlds supply.
Cutting down the acreage OF wheat in
the corn belt because we are teaching
farmers to grow more and better corn at
a greater profit 10 themselves is another
factor. while the truth about the crops is
that We have not mad a real good wheat
crop for the last four years"

GREAT REGRET IN NAPLES
MR.. ROOSEVELT WILL NOT STAY
AS LONG AS EXPECTED.
His Arrival Will Be Delayed a Day.
Taking Elaborate Precautions
for His Protection.

NAPLES, Italy. April 3.--As The time OF
the arrival of Theodore Roosevelt ap-
proaches-he is coming on board the
steamer Hamburg from New York and is
expected Monday-the interest and the
excitement of the people of Naples In
crease. In the belief that Mr.. Roosevelt
would be here for the better part of two
days, all kinds of arrangements were
made for his entertainment, and the dis
appointment is correspondingly great as
it Is realized that through delay to the
Hamburg he will have only few hours
here.
1t is now said that the Hamburg will
not arrive here until late Mondoy after
noon. 1t is doubtful if Mr.. Roosevelt
meets the Duchess of Aosta; his stay will
be too short.
A magnificent apartment in one of the
Roosevet's use. The rooms afford a
beautiful view of the Bay of Naples.
Mount Vesuvius and Capri, and ii is
hoped that the distinguished traveller will
be able to make use of this apartment
for at least a few hours.
To Protect the Visitor.
The prefect Of Naples has given orders
that a special detachment of picked car
bineers be on duty at the dock to protect
Mr.. Roosevelt, not only from any pos
sible assault, but also from the impor-
tunities of the population. Both the
Hamburg, bringing Mr.. Roosevelt, and
the steamer Admiral. that will take him
away, will be surrounded by police boats.
and it is deemed that these precautions
preclude any untoWard occurrence. Motor
boats and automobiles have been put at
the disposal Of Mr.. Roosevelt for excur-
sions by sea and by land. The munich
pality of Naples will greet Mr.. Roose-
Welt with an address. The mayor has
appointed three aldermen to receive the
former President of the United States
and extend to him the welcome of the
city. Various other committees of well
come have been formed and are eager
to show their admiration for Mr.. Roose-

CATTLE DISEASE COSTLY.
British Ban Lifted on All States But
Pennsylvania.

Notice has been received by the Depart
ment of Agriculture through the State
Department that the British government
has raised the quarantine which has been
in effect against New York and New
Jersey on account of the foot and mouth
disease. The quarantine of Great Britain
against Michigan and Maryland has al
ready been raised and Pennsylvania is
the only state now remaining under the
ban.
The present outbreak Of foot and mouth
disease among cattle is the first that this
country has suffered since 1902. 1t is
now practically wiped out, but it has cost
the government $JOO,OO for the cattle
slaughtered and other precautions taken
against it. The federal government has
borne half the expense of the outbreak.
but the railroads that have been forced
to fumigate their cars are now putting
in claims for reimbursement and II these
are allowed ii will bring the total cost
up to about three millions.
