GOV. WILSON'S SPEAKING JLANs.
No Swing Around the Circle, Though
There's No Telling What May Happen.

Sea Grit, n. j., Aug. 26.-Gov Wood
row Wilson, with the idea that the
country is tired of stumping tours and
an excess of speech making, announced
Saturday that his present plans call
for very few campaign speeches, not
many outside of the state of New Jer-
sey and then only on particular occa-
sions, to which he will have received
invitations. The governor declared that
To-day he would confer with Vice Chair
man MeAdoo in New York and as many
members of the national committee al
could be gathered for common counsel.
The plan of speaking engagements will
be mapped out at that time. though
the governor explained that the minds
of his advisers already were unanimous
ly against a swing around the circle
or stamping tour of any kind. Out
of 200 letters received from people who
were not politicians, us suggested that
the governor conduct "a dignifed stay
at-home campaign"
For the present the governors engage

The March Of the Black Death.

"Blark Death now known as the bu-
bonic plague, is, for the fourth time in
the worlds history, slowly creeping
around the globe.
The present epidemic Of plague, the
fourth in the worlds history began in
1894 From the southwestern province
OF Yunnan. bordering on Thibet and
Burma. plague spread to other parts of
China and to Formosa and Japan. It
reached Bombay in 1906, and from that
point spread throughout India. Jedda
became infected in 1897, and again in
1900. Tn 1899 the disease made its APP
pearance in Madagascar and Mauritius.
In 1900 Mecca became infected, also the
Transvaal South Africa. Later, during
the same year, it was found among the
dock laborers of Oporto, Portugal. In
1900 the disease obtained footing on
the western coast of the two Americas.
To-day, says The Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, we admit its
presence in South America, and are not
sure that it is not present on the Pacific
coast of the United States.
The present epidemic is similar to
those Of the past in that the disease
has advanced along the highways of
commerce, save that its present distri-
button has been PRINCIPALLY by sea routes
in eontradistinction to the overland
routes of former ages.

COLONEL CANNOT BE HEARD.
Senate Committee Cannot Be Brought
Together For Month.

Washington, Aug 26.Col Roosevelt
will not have an opportunity to answer
John ID. Archbold's statements before
the Senate committee investigating cam
paign expenditures until late in Septem-
Der.
Senator Clapp, chairman of the sub
committee to whom Archbold told the
story of having contributed 100000 to
the Roosevelt campaign fund in 1901,
telegraphed Roosevelt Saturday morn.
ing that the committee would be unable
to hear him to-day, as the colonel de-
sired.
Late yesterday Senator Clapp received
telegram from Senator Dillingham; of
Vermont announcing that Senator Pom
creme OF Ohio had been appointed to
take the place of Senator Lea of Ten
nessee, who has resigned. Senator Pom
creme is now in Ohio, however. and Sem
ators Oliver and Jones, the other mem
bers of the committee are not in Wash.

work of the committee until late in

WILL WRITE LONG LETTER.
Roosevelt Proposes to Get His Story
Before Committee.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 26. Having failed
to obtain hearing before the Senate
committee investigating campaign con-
tributions because of inability to get the
committee together, Col. Roosevelt plans
to write the committee letter, en-
bodying some things to which he would
testify. He so declared last night in
IA statement wherein he took the COM
mittee to task because it permitted Arch
bold to sail for Europe without telling
more about $4,000 contributed to the
Republican campaign in Pennsylvania in
1904.
He plans to confne himself in his
letter chiefly to refuting the testimony
of Archbold wherein the latter said he
was assured Roosevelt knew and appre-
ciated the contribution of 100000 al.
legged to have been made by Archbold
to the Republican national campaign in
1904. The letter will be long and the
colonel expects to finish it by tonight.
1t is reasonably sure to devote consid-
cradle space to Roosevelt's relations
with Senator Penrose while president.

Napoleon's Ideal Woman.

The great Napoleon. in response to a
question once asked by lady, replied:
My ideal woman is not the beautiful
society belle or the butterfly of fashion,
but the matron who reaches middle age
in complete preservation of health, with
stalwart children by her side"
Thousands of middle-aged American
women to-day owe their health to Lydia

famous remedy for female ills, which
has carried more women safely through
the natural changes of her life than any
other remedy the world has ever known.

SAVING OF
The STATE
PEACH CROP
Pref. kCCue Issues Bulletin
on Treatment Of the Buds
and Trees
COLD WEATHER HURTS
FRUIT IN MANY SECTIONS

The recent cold winter severely in
jured the peach crop in many sections
Of the country and in some Of the
noted peach regions the crop will be
almost a total failure. In view Of
the probable shortage Of the crop.
Professor G. A. McCue, horticulturist
at the Delaware Experiment Station
IN bulletin issued today says:
The Delaware peach growers
should put forth every effort to pro-
tect their peaches from the ravases
OF clrculio and brown rot. The writer
would urge all peach growers. who
have prospects of crop, to give their
peaches the following treatment.
Il. Spray all peaches. with two
pounds OF arsenato of lead and three
pounds Of freshly slaked lime. This
spray should be applied about three
weeks after the trees bloom or lust
before the 'shdcks' slip off the young
peaches. This treatment is largely to
control the curculio, thus aiding in
lessening the June drop. The cur
culio stings are also largely respon-
sible for the entrance of the rot into
the peach tissues.
%. About one month after the first
application spray the peaches again
with self boiled lime sulfur (S pounds
sulfuf. S pounds lime. and so gallons
of water) adding one and one-hali
pounds Of arsenate Of lead to every
80 gallons Of the mixture
"3. Spray with the self boiled lime
sulfur about one month before th,
peaches ripen This will be about
July 3 20 10, for Champion and about
July Is 10 25 for Elbcrta. The ar
senate OF lead need not be used at
this spraying.
Caution. Peach foliage is very
sensitive TO spray materials and care
should be taken 10 apply all sprays
in the form OF a mist. avoiding
drenching the trees Arsenate OF
lead should always have a freshly
slaked stone lime added TO it when
spraying peaches. The writer would
suggest he using Of Tri Plumbic ar
senate of lead as being perhaps III.
tie more safe than the ordinary com.
mercial arsenic of lead
Preparation Of Self Boiled Lime SulfuI
Weight out pounds OF stone lime
and place in a barrel and pour on
enough cold water 10 partially cover
/ it, As soon as the lime begins &c
slake. add pounds Of sulfur Al
| Jumps in the sulfur should be broker
up. Stir the mixture constantly and
1 add more water. as needed, to form
a thick paste; then, gradually a thin
paste. AS soon as the lime is wei
slaked add water 10 cool the miXtur
and prevent further cooking. DO no
! allow.the lime and sulfur 20 cook owe
Is TO 20 minutes. Dilute to abou
20 gallons and strain into the spra
tank, again dilute TO so gallons an
apply.
when arsenate of lead is used wit
the self boiled lime sulfur, it may b
added after he lime sulfur is straine
into the spray tank.
"All Delaware peach growers ar
warned against usin diluted CONNER
cial lime sulfur as spray 70
peaches. While in some instance
this material has proven satisfactor
it is uncertain in its action and is liza
BILE to defoliate the trees.
