The insect was not discovered In
the eastern United States until
August 1893 At that time it was
found in Charlottesville. Va. It was
soon found that the infested trees
were purchased from nurseries which
had been introducing stock from Call

keep the San Jose scale in good con-
troll. This Is amply proven by the ex-
perience Of hundreds of our fruitgrow-
ers and farmers every year.
It is best to give the treatment in
late winter, before the buds have
opened February or early march,
but any time after the leaves are shed
in fall and before the buds open in
spring will do. Spraying with a regu-
lar spray pump Is by far the best
method For this treatment the great
majority of growers depend on lime
sulphur wash (either commercial or
the home-made), or soluble oil .(of
which there are several brands).
Although the weight Of opinion Is In
favor OF late winter as the one best
time to spray for scale, yet few peo-
pie prefer fall spraying. and some
even spray both in fall and late win
ter though we do not think this Is
necessary as a regular practice. Fall
spraying is done after all fruit has
been gathered. when the leaves have
begun TO drop. or soon after they have

more OF the small crevices and reach
a larger percentage Of the small
young scales which pass the winter
On the other hand the lime-sulphur
solutions leave a coating on the
branches so that when they are APP

as a considerable protection to the
trees during spring and early summer
So. IL one wants to come as near as
possible to DISCRIMINATING the scale

be to use soluble oil in fall and lime

CHAPTER xxiI-(contInued).

He felt that he was the greatest sim
ner on earth, but worst OF all was the
fact that when he had fallen, the for
hidden brew was not sweet. He was
inexperienced enough to sip It and 1t
was like foaming quinine on his pal
ate. But he kept at 1t from sheer
shame, and his luxurious transgres-
sion was its own punishment.
The doleful Mallory was on his way
to join the Club" Crossing the YES
tibule he had met the conductor, and
had ventured to quiz him along the
old lines:
Excuse he, haven't you taken any
clergymen on board this train YETI"
Devil a one"
Don't you ever carry any preachers
on this road?"
Usually we get one or two. Last
trip we carried whole Methodist

"a whole convention last trip! Just
my luck!"
The unenlightened conductor turned
TO call back: Say. up in the forward
car We got couple of undertakers.
They be of any use to your"
mot yet"
Then Mallory dawdled on into the
smoking room, where he found his
own porter, who explained that he
had been promoted to the bottlery."
"Do we come to u station stop
soon" Mallory asked.
well, not for a considerable inter
val. Do you want to get out and walk
up and DOWN."
81 don't" said Mallory, taking from
under his coat Snoozleums, whom he
had Struggled past the new conductor.
Meanwhile, Porter, could you give
him something to eat to distract
him?"
The porter grinned, and picking up
a bill Of fare held it out. 81 got

WINS in and disappeared with him into
the buffet, Mallory calling after him:
Don't let the conductor see him"

cheer: How Is our bridegroom this

HANSON WON THE MATCH.
Man Twice, But Could Not Get Third
Fall Within 60 Minutes.

In the Auditorium last night, in the
presence of several hundred people Dr.
B. F. Roller of Seattle, candidate for the
heavy weight wrestling championship Of
the world, failed to throw Fritz Hanson
three times within 60 minutes.
He secured two falls, the first after a
struggle of 32 minutes and six seconds
and the second in IS minutes and 10
seconds, but although he used his utmost
endeavors he could not pin the local man
to the mat in the last minutes and A
seconds.
In a speech after the match DR.. Roller
said, II have met many middleweight
wrestlers and have thrown them three
times within 60 minutes, many of them
claiming the worlds championship but
for the wonderful cleverness and endur-
ance this man cannot be beat"
Previous to the match two battle royals
for silver cups amused the largest crowd
of the season. In the 10 to IA years old
class Edward Moran won the cup, de-
feating Clinton Graves, Ralph Paquette,
Arthur Giarard. Joe Wood and Justin
Moran in IL minutes. In the IA to IT
year old class Bernard Dunlevy won the
cup from Frank Bell. Joe Yarhie and Joe
Fleming in six minutes and 30 seconds.
This bout was hot from start to finish
and the boys worked hard to win the
prize.
Before the match DR. Roller spoke at
some length on the value of athletics
and particularly of wrestling. With G..
W. Bailey to assist him he explained
various holds. including the toe and
strangle holds.
Cyclone" Burns, who will soon tackle
"Americus" for the light-heavyweight
championship, refereed.
Roller weighed 205. Hanson 154. Time
after time Hanson squirmed away from
dangerous positions. Rollers two falls
were secured on inside crotch and half-
Nelson holds.
In the last round, after the men had
rested 10 minutes. Roller worked like
whirlwind.
Roller tried four different holds In the
last minute while the crowd for
the first time, began to yell. Fritz
received plenty of encouragement and
when the time yelled Sixty min
utes," a howl of delight went up.
Roller made his little speech and the fans
yelled for Fitz, but all the local man
said was. II thank you" The crowd
went home, satisfied at seeing Fritz Han
son acxnowledgey the best man at his
weight in the world, winning a handicap p
match from a bigger, stronger man who
is trying to get match for the worlds
heavyweight champion and who cannot
get il because Frank Gotch continues to
side-step him.

Boston Maine Railroad Will Build Between Braeboro and South
Vernon
AGREEMENT With CENTRAL VERMONT ROAD
Officials Acquiring Land Vernon Street, Crosby Grain Ware.
house and Elevator Will Be Takenvaduct Bridge Street
and Union Station Included in Plans

After two or three years Of negotia-
tions, delays, controversies and disputes
relative to additional railroad construc-
ton and development in Brattleboro the
Central Vermont and Boston & Maine
railroad companies have at last come to
an agreement whereby the Boston &
Maine survey between South Vernon and
Brattleboro on the New Hampshire side
of the river will be eliminated and the
Roston & Maine company will build
double track road on the Vermont side.
There is no longer any doubt as to this
fact, and it is the most important matter
Of news that The Phoenix has been able
to print in a long time.
Several officials Of both compa MES
have been in Brattleboro the greater
part of the week, coming for the specific
purpose of closing up the agreement and
working out some Of the details and
they have conducted their work in the
Office of Clarke C. Fits, attorney for the
Brattleboro railroad committee. They
came with authority from the heads of
the railroads to close up the deal If no
legal obstacles prevented and they have
accomplished that end with the excep-
tion of a few small details. Carrying
out the usual railroad idea of prudence,
the officials and attorneys are not ready
to give out the details, but through ne
gotta tions with other persons the sub
stance of the plans are known
The officials came with authority to
close the deal provided no legal obsta cles
were in the way. The principal legal OBJ
stacle was the lack of authority to take
land belonging to the Prospect Hill and
Morningside cemetery associations. This
has been overcome, the associations de-
Gliding not to stand in the way of the
desired development, and yesterday they
decided such land as was necessary to
the New London Northern Railway COM
pany, which is leased by the Central
Vermont road, and received checks in
| payment therefor from the Boston &
Maine company This manner OF acquir-
| ing the property was adopted under an
| agreement whereby the Central Vermont
is to give the Boston & Maine trackage
| and yard room between the present
tracks and the river on the east the
| Boston & Maine to acquire and give to
the Central Vermont enough land on the
west side to offset the amount taken
on the east side. Other land is being
bought from abuttng owners, some OF
the purchases already having been made

For this purpose C. r. Crosby has ae-
quired an option on five acres Of land

will be abolished, the ledge east of the
Brattleboro House and southerly from
that point being removed. This will re-
quire action in a, town meeting A via
duct will be constructed over the tracks
at Vernon street, abolishing the railroad
crossing, and for this the town win be
required to pay a part of the expense
under the law. A union station will be
built, probably at the corner south of
Bridge street.
Vice President Byrnes of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford road re-
Gently stated in a public meeting in
Greenfield that the company intended to
double track the Boston & Maine road
north of that town the coming summer.
double track has been laid north of
here down as far as Putney, and the link
through Brattleboro may be built this
year.

6LUEsI VICTORIOUS.

The railroad pitch tournament between
the reds and the blues at the Vermont
Wheel club rooms ended Tuesday night
In victory for the blues in a finish
which was nearly as sensational as the
previous match won by the reds. After
playing four weeks the score was even,
with three games to be played between
c. III. Thompson and Ralph Allen repre-
senting the blues and G. o. Abbott and
Charles Voetsch, representing the reds.
The reds won the first game and the
blues the second. The final game, which
was to decide which side furnished the
supper, was witnessed by all OF the
spectators who could crowd into the
smoking room. The lead changed sew
eral times in running the score from q
points each down to zero. Finally the
standing was blues two points and reds
seven. Voetsch, who was dealing, re-
fused a bid of three, and led the ace OF
clubs, followed by the queen OF clubs.
On his second lead, Thompson, playing
at his left, dropped the jack OF clubs.
and a shout went up on one side OF the
room, as the game was apparently all over
but the shouting. Abbott, playing third,
hand. threw on the four OF clubs, and
then another shout went up when Allen.

the king, thus saving his partners tach
