ONE ON THE OLD GENTLEMAN
Absolute Fact Destroyed Force Of
WeIl-Meant Argument for
Temperance.

On a pleasant Sunday afternoon an
old German and his youngest son
were seated in the village inn. The
father had partaken literally OF the
home-brewed beer. and was warning
his son against the evils OF intem
perance. Never drink too much. my
son. A gentleman stops when he
has enough. To be drunk Is dis
grace"
Yes, father. but how can tell
when l have enough or am drunk7"
The old man pointed with his fin
ger. do you see those two men sit

see four men there, you would be
drunk"
The boy looked long and earnestly.

TO. lime-sulphur wash which would not
be justified where but few plants
were involved. For a few plants It
would be better to use some one OF
the prepared washes put up by manu-
facturers. In fact, many large or
chardists prefer to use sprays of this
class in preference to making the
washes at home The possibility OF
injury to the trees from the sprays
must also be borne in mind.

 As it was written it seemed to legalize betting, even though that was amended out in the Senate, but at the best it is a clear attempt to let in prize fighting although it covers the attempt with lot of verbiage which will deceive some people.
 It provides a referee under the name of a supervisor, and makes careful provision that the rules of the ring as to ropes, gloves, etc., shall be observed.
 Take it all in all, it is about as rank bill as we have seen in years It should be buried without honors.

VERDICT. FROM CORONER SOON.
 ON BIG WRECK
Completed Finding Soon To Be Made Public, It Is Understood Will Be Lengthy Document and Review in Detail Circum- stances of Fatal Wreck

coroner Wilson's finding in the in quest or the Federal Express horror which took toll of IA human live,
 and caused serious injury to half Z
 hundred more passengers on ths
 '" "dshln A ston-Boston train, is expected
 to De complete by tomorrow.
 The coroner has accumulated 2
 mass of testimony, principally from
 railroad men. and for several days he
 mas been weighing this testimony pre-
 paratory to making his finding.
 what he will find can only be con- Jectured until he makes public his oi1lclal document He was not pre- pared to state today just when his hndlng would be completed. but it is generally expected by tomorrow.
 inc coroner questioned railroad men ana others who testified at the secret inquest, particularly as to the speed o1 the train, the condition of the sig nals both at the tower at the scene of the wreck and at adjoining blocks also as to the condition of the roadbed ana rails at this point, where it was olsclosed that work had only recently been done
 Accounts vary among passenaers ana tra1nmen as to whether the brakes were applied to the express before the traln left the track It is held bv some of the railroad officials that the fact that the crossover was taken at such high speed indicates that Cur us was asleep or otherwise ignorant of existing conditions Curtis widow nas stated that he was overworked nad already done days work when called out to take the Federal Express run.
 The air brakes are so arranged that the instant the engine or any of the 'ars, toppling from the rails. snapped he hose connections, the brakes would be applied automatically. I the brakes of which mention | s made by certain passengers were lpplied through this agency. or bv | he engineer himself, was one of the joints that Coroner Wilson had to | ascertain. as being of vital import lnce.
 It is generally expected that Coro- 1 fer Wilson's finding will be an un- lsually lengthy document reviewing he case in minute detail However, si ts it's context, he is preserving the anne secrecy as followed the inouest. f nd until it is finally prepared for the E ublic, none can more than coniect11re s to what will be his finding and recommendations
