Tumors on Oak Trees.

A unique feature Of Cape Cod. to
which DR.. Horace Packard Of Boston
has called attention. is the existence Of
many dwarfed red oaks bearing can
GERS more completely resembling the
malignant tumors OF animals than any
other plant tumors known. Some trees
have hundreds OF these great black
knobs. covered with very rough bark
and composed inside Of dense woody
material and. Ike human cancer, the
tumors are due to localized primary
infection, causing enormous multiple
cation Of the host cells. with infection
OF nelghboring parts and resulting I'm
death The parasites are believed to
be bacteria. A common tumor of the
pansy has been lately traced by DIT.
Edwin f. Smith to special bacterium.
and experiments are now being made
with a peculiar micro organism that Is
suspected OF responsibility for the oak
disease The reason these red oaks
have been so extensively infected Is
thought to be their weakness from
poor soil The Cape Cod OF the pill
grims bore great growth OF fine
needed pine. the one tree thriving on
sand. but this growth has been de
stroyed. and the succeeding red, white
and scrub oaks make only a feeble
struggle on the nearly pure silica.

Rural Editor obeys Preeept in Sam
Tobbell's Case but It's Hard Work

MiddIetown, N. Y. Oct. ga pa
per published in a village near here
prints the following obituary from
its correspondent in an adjoining
county:
Sam Tobbell is dead. Some days
ago he was stricken with blood poi
soning from a bite in the neck in
ficted while he was drunk and she
intoxicated Drs. Gridle of Eureka,
and Butts OF Claryville, we're in at
tendance but despite their utmost
efforts the poison spread until as a
last resort they used the knife. The
operation was Of no avail, however,
and now he ain here any more.
Sam was an unique character.
Only once in a generation is a com
munity pestered with such a human
viper. He was the unsolved conun-
drum, What is he good for?' His
only virtue was the persistence of his
wickedness, his only excellence the
stability of his unrepentance Booze
fighter, liar, wife-beater chicken
thief, egg stealer profane and vile Of
speech to the point of nausea he was
the trademark of sin, the sentient
emblem of vice, with no crime but
work beyond his capacity. He was
even worse.
But he has gone hence and it is
never our inclination to kick a man
when he is down; yet at death his
proverbial luck was with him. He
goes below just as the whitening
frosts and chilling winds are ushered
in a long and tedious season for the
good who are left AS was often the
case when in life and in jail, he'll
keep warm and comfortable at others
expense, fellows. Well so long. Sam
and so long as it is long, good luck.

GOV. WILSON APoLoeIzEs
Made Error in Quoting from the Re-
publican Platform.


Elizabeth, N. J., Oct. 24-Gov. Viii
son has sent note of apology TO
Carlton B. Pierce, Republican candi-
date for Senator in Union County, for
a reference he made to the plank in
the Republican platform referring to
railroad grade crossings, of which
Mr.. Pierce is the author. Mr.. Pierce
wrote to the Governor, saying:
"The plank reads: We favor the
elimination of grade crossings at
railroad expense, the work to be
done gradually in the order of neces-
sity, and to proceed as rapidly as the
expense involy ed will permit. Your
speech reads the words at once in
the Republican plank, changing the
meaning, and then proceeds to de-
molish the structure erected. The
Republican plank was drawn with
care to provide a gradual elimination
with due regard to the expense in
volved."
Gov. Wilson replies: 81, of course
did not intend to read into the plank
of your platform which concerns
grade crossings any words it did not
contain. | regret having made the
mistake. ] spoke from an imperfect
recollection of the language, and

PREPARING FOR SANE FOURTH.

Baltimore and other cities are max
ing arrange ments for celebrating the
Fourth Of July in a rational manner
by eliminating all explosives and in
shutting in their stead safer diversions
for old and young alike. The move
ment toward the sane celebration OF
the Independence Day is gradually
spreading, and the day OF the cannon
cracker, and other high explosives in
which dynamite enters is drawing to
close. A factory near New York which
has for many years hourished by the
manufacture and sale OF explosives for
Christmas and Fourth of July was
forced to close few months ago by
reason of the falling off in the demand
Of such products. The commissioners
of the District of Columbia have
found it necessary to stop all explosions
in the streets of Washington on Christ
mas and Fourth Of July. Many people
are killed or injured by guns, pistols,
etc., or such holidays and towards a
safe aud sane celebration OF Independ.
ence Day. is a great desideratum.
