TRIBUTE TO DR.. HUNTINGTON
Jews Remember Episcopal CIersyman's
Sympathy In kishineff Massacre.

To the Rev. DR.. William II. Hunt
ington, rector Of Grace church, New
York city. who recently died at Ma
hant, Mass, Annette Kohn of New
York pays the following tribute:
In the death of DR.. William X. Hunt
ington the Protestant Episcopal
church mOurns the loss of good
Christian. a valuable and Woodworking
clergyman and fine man.
But DR.. Huntington had wider
humanity Il spirit of truer religion and
a finer manhood than can be confined
within the bounds of any theological
sect or creed. He was a cosmopolitan
citizen of the world to whom all men
We're brothers and whose noble heart
was touched by the sufferings and sor-
rows of any of Gods children what
ever their faith, their race or their
country.
At the time of the great Russian
massacre at Kishinelf. that electrified
the civilized world, when 10000 Rus
sian Jews marched in funeral process
sion up Broadway. New York, bewail-
Ing with dirges the loss of kinsmen
and compatriotS, it was DR.. Hunting
ton who ordered the funeral bells
of Grace church to be toled during
the entire long day of that weird and
solemn funeral procession while he
stooA with barred head watching it
pass the church.
1t was fine and sympathetic act,
noble in its simplicity, simple in its
great nobility.
When the writer of this tribute eX-
pressed appreciation of this friendly
sympathy to Or. Greer, the bishop of
the diocese, the good bishop disclaim-
ed any personal responsibility for it,
saying that AL the credit belonged
to DR.. Huntington. for the act was his
own entirely, though the good doctor
had his highest commentator for hav-
ing conceived it,"
The jewish population not only of
New York. but of the United States,
were deeply moved by this touching
token of sympathy and fellowship
Today as Il body they join his fam
lily, his church and the Christian COM
munity in mourning his death and
revering his memory.

Keeping Cream Sweet.

If properly cooled cream will keep
much longer than milk. for the reason
that 1t contains less milk serum or
food for the action Of bacteria. 1t
should be kept in pure atmosphere
so as to prevent it from taking up fla
vors by absorption. If cream is kept
in a cellar the walls should be white
washed several times during the year.
Lime is great purifier. Never allow
vegetables to remain in the same room
in which cream is kept. During the
daytime the cellar should be kept
closed. but at night there should be
thorough ventilation.

Swiss chard is growing in popular

is ready for use as a sort of substitute

is getting ready to bear. The long
stalks are served as asparagus or as

CARE UF FLOWER BEDS.
How to Keep Them Beautiful All
Through the Summer.

Through the Summer.
All flower beds should at this season
of the year be kept in proper shape
and condition. All seed pods and
withcred and yellow leaves should be
carefully cleaned and picked off. FIRE.
quent stirring with the hoe is good,
but not deep enough to in any way
iniure the roots. 1t is Il good idea
every time yOu NOW the grass to take
sharp spade and cut the edge of all
your flower beds. 1t keeps the grass
from cncroaching on the beds and also
keeps the beds to their proper shape
and form and makes them have a
fresh and neat appearance.
BY August many of the soft grow
ing foliage bedding plants. such as
coleus. alternanthcraS achryanthuS,
etc. will be growing freely and should
be kept cut back and not allowed to
become struggling. To be pretty, beds
having plants of this kind should be
uniform. The various colors should
not be allowed to intermingle. Golden
colored plants should not have red
foliage ones sticking their shoots up
through the yellow, etc. This Is easily
prevented by constantly pinching. The
main point is to commence pinchinS
early and take the tip out of the
young growth. In this way you can
scarcely see that the work is going
on. If, however, you neglect them I'M
til the plants are very tall then you
leave stems showing. and the beds
are unsightly for awhile.
Some beds are greatly benefited by
a mulching Of we'll rotted stable
manure. 1t is necessary to shake out
all the long straw before using, and if
the manure is in large pieces chop it
with spade Rose beds, cannas,
hardy herbaceous and verbena beds
are all benefited by mulching. We do
not believe it is necessary to thus
mulch soft plants, such as the coleus
and geraniums. as they grow very
we'll without it. The work of mulch
ing is very simple. All you want to
do is to spread the manure over the
bed carefully to the depth of about
one inch.
air should be watered depends to
great extent upon the character Of the
soil and variety of plants. If the soil
is good stiff loan and you have fire.
Quent showers YOU do not need to
water at all. If 1t is sandy. as near
the coast. and the weather dry it is
beneficial to water every day. Gerani-
ums seldom need watering when grow
ing in good garden soil. With much
water they grow too much to foliage.
Cannas and plants of this character
do not require much water. For them
and geraniums we prefer much hoe
ing.
If using a hose sprinkler to water
have just force enough to water with
out washing the ground. Hold the
sprinkler near the ground so the water
goes first where you want it. Geranf-
ums should not have the flower heads
watered if you can avoid it, as it spoils
them completely. The evening, after
SHUTDOWN, is the best time to water, as
the plants have all night to take up
the moisture. and artificial watering is
soon evaporated under the combined
effects of wind and hot summer sun.

ORAYS' METHODS
ARE CRITICISED
System of Oppression, I'm
der Which Wages of Work
men Are Withheld, Is
Condemned

EDIToR CALL-In the comment
bingham in this mornings issue
of your paper no word is said of the
provocation offered to violence by
such methods of oppression as are
shown to be the habit of the firm by
whom Cunningham was employed.
His story of the delay in the pay
ment of his wages: the overcharge on
the agreed price for his meals at the
company's camp; the insolence with
which his claims were met on each
visit to the office of the firm; the
checks given that could only be cashed
at heavy discount-al these petty
injustices are corroborated by the
statements of Novak, fellow work
man, and together these two men have
exposed to the public system of OPP
preston of laboring men that is as
unbelievable in California as it is in
tolerable.
In the trial of Cunningham it is to
be hoped that the law will take cog
nizance of this provocation, and that
by bringing forward through witnesses
and investigation the details of the
methods of this firm of Gray Brothers
in their dealings with their helpless
employees will so expose the baseness
of such methods as to make it i'm
possible that they be practiced upon
working men in this community in the
future.
If Cunningham, in his crazed condi-
ton, is to be held responsible for the
crime of murder Gas he must, in JUS
tice, be heidi, then his employers must,
as definitely, be held to their respon-
sibility for the provocation to that
murder. BRUCE PORTER.

EIGHT IN STATE CAN NOT
THINK HIM INNOCENT
TnlarA Register

1t is not conceivable that even eight
of those jurors believed Calhoun to be
innocent, nor is it conceivable that
eight intelligent persons in the whole
state so believe, but it was the impos-
sibility of proving the case beyond all
chance of doubt that brought about
the mistrial.
1t is not likely that if the case were
tried a dozen times jury could be
found which would vote UNANIMOUSLY
to convict though all the members of
all the juries would believe Calhoun
guilty. This is because their judgment
is based on common sense, while their
legal verdict is the product of tech
meal twistings and squirmings in the
effort to make all parts of the evidence
fit into one complete whole.
We have a magnificent system of
jurisprudence-for the protection of the
man who can employ skillfuI technical
lawyers.

DEALING OF JUSTICE
WORTH MILLIONS TO CITY
San Diego Union

1t is asserted that the trial of Pat
rick Calhoun, which lasted over five
months. has cost the city of San Fran
cisco 100000. The single item of the
jurors hotel bill is placed at nearly
S. 500. Then there is the typewriter
record, making about 1900 pages and
costing nearly $4,000. without count
ing the stenographers' fees at the rate
of $40 a day. Very probably people
will read much in certain papers
friendly to the higher ups" about
these heavy expenditures. They will
be used as a new argument for drop
ping the prosecution. AS matter of
fact it should influence nobody. If
San Francisco can bring to justice the
men who have made that city byword
for all that is corrupt, it were worth
while to spend even millions. The city
can better afford to lose the money
than it can afford to rest under the
imputation of being a place where it
is impossible to enforce the laws in
the cases of men of means and infiu-
ence. And that is precisely the repu-
tation that San Francisco would have
should the present economy clamor
prevail there.
