BURBANK'S LATEST A PEACH.
Juice and Color of Crawford Sur

Juice and Color of Crawford Sur
round Small CoIorIess Pit.
Santa Rosa = Horticulturists and
fruitgrowers are united in their praise
of the two new varities of peaches and
one of plums producted by Luther Bur-
bank, the plant wizard. Crosses of
the Crawford and Muir species have
resulted in fruit of greater CONNER
cial value. The Bartlett plum seed
ling is also betterment in shape, col
or and preponderance of flesh over pit.
Most of the juiciness and high color
of the Crawford peach has been trans
ferred by Burbank to the smaller and
firmer pit of the Muir. The color-free
pit of the Muir is also retained. The
vigor and ability of the new trees to
resist diseases is still another recon-
mendation of the Burbank creations.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

pennsyIvsnfs Educssfonalist Thinks
They should BE Abolished.
Public school students have cham
pion In the person of DR.. Nathan c.
Schaeffer, superintendent OF public In
struction in Pennsylvania, In their an
tipathy to examinations. DR.. Schaeffer
has gone SO far as to say that he hoped
he would see the day when examina-
lions would be abolished. "They are"
he said. like drugs. since they have
primary as well as secondary effect
In that they cause depression II kept
up"
DR.. Schaeffer Is himself a keen stu
dent and observer He has profited
by his years Of experience since his
the state and he knows whereof he
speaks, says the Philadelphia Inquirer
But his opinion In this respect is not
the result OF deductions on the part
OF one man alone. There are many
others who think with him, some OF
whom have so expressed themselves
and others who. while convinced
themselves, are too timid to take a de
cided stand in the matter.
There Is little doubt that the exam
ination is in many respects barbar
Gus institution. Education is, In the
last analysis. only means to an end
process OF gradual mental develop
ment, plan by which each day the
mind is broadeued. To expect child
to pass successfully on details which II
has used only as mental food and for
gotten for five, six, seven or nine
months seems not only unjust, but
ridiculous. The consequence is that a.

MANAGUA IN PANIC
Madriz Government TOtters and
People Flee for Lives.
Estrada Army Approaches and Lives
and Property of Americans
Are in Peril.

Washington-The provisional gov
eminent of Nicaragua is lettering to
its fall, the Madriz army is democrat
lied, CONSERVATION reigns in Managua
and DR.. Madriz, his general-in-chief,
Toledo, and general Irias, are prepar-
ing to flee the country.
This, in effect, ia the news received
by the State department from United
States Consul Olivares at Managua,
and these advices are confirmed by dis
patches from Mr.. Johnson. United
States consul at at Corinto.
The panic in the capital is threaten
ing the lives and property of Ameri-
cans. Crowds are reported traversing
the streets crying, death to the
Americans"
While the cruisers Vicksburg and
Yorktown are at Corinto and in close
touch with the situation, the legation
and consulates in Managua are under
heavy police guard and preparations
have been made to meet attacks on
American lives and property.
The situation grew out of the victory
won Thursday by the revolutionists,
who defeated strong column of gov
eminent troops and crossed the Tipi-
tapa river.
The removal of the government army
seems complete. Mr.. Olivares reports
that General Toledo, who was in COM
mand of the Madriz troops, arrived
in Managua following his defeat and
announced that his force had been
seized with panic and fled when at
tackled. Soldiers made their escape to
Grenada while others continued their
flight to the capital.
Grenada appears to be at the mercy
of an undiciplined mob of soldiers, who
are reported to be pillaging the houses
there.
1t is added that the Estradan force
is already at the gates of the city and
is preparing to take the place by as
sault. From the evident demoralized
condition of the Madriz forces, observ-
ers believe that Granada will be taker
by Estrada with little trouble and the
way to the capital thus practically will
be clear.
1t seems the unanimous opinion il
Managua, Mr.. Olivares reports, tina
the power of Madriz is steadily weak
ening and that his overthrow may b.
momentarily expected. The revolu
tionary army is only 20 miles from thu
capital and the capture of Managua i
looked upon as inevitable.

Coyote Bite; Then Rabies.

Asotin, Wash.-An unknown sheep
herder was found along the Snake riv-
er 20 miles from here in very precar-
ious condition with rabies, resulting
from bite of a mad coyote. The
sheepherder was coming down the riv-
er from the mountains where he had
been employed for several months. AS
he was passing over high rim rock,
he was confronted by coyote, which,
when within a few feet made spring,
burying its teeth deep into the flesh of
his body. The herder has slight
chance of recovery.

Open Shop Mill Wrecked.

San Francisco-For the fourth time
within two years the mill of the Pacific
Coast Mill & Lumber company, in Oak
land, was wrecked Saturday night by
exploding dynamite. Two years ago
the company had strike of hands and
declared for the open shop, and since
then they have defied the labor unions.
This latest dynamiting was done by
men who knew just where the most
valuable machinery was located. The
explosive was placed under this ma
chinery and it was almost completely
wrecked.
