Washington. Feb. 13..-While the bat
tie ragged in the streets of the City of
Mexico hurried preparations were made
here to send an "expeditionary force"
of 1900 American troops to Vera Cruz
at short notice when it should be deem.

toned at Governors island, Plattsburg.

for embarkation on board four trans
ports at Newport News for Vera Cruz.
Steps were taken to dispatch $500
marines from the Atlantic feet and
Guantanamo station to Vera Cruz, and
two more battleships. making four in
all, were ordered to hasten to Mexican
ports on the gulf of Mexico, while two
other warships were hurrying to points
on the western coast.
The battleship Nebraska, one of the
two warships ordered to Mexican ports
from Cuba, steamed from Caimanera,
Cuba, at half past 10 o'clock yester-
day.

Mr.. Stimson, the secretary of war,

A TIMELY TOPIC.
BY w. III. Bullock, State Demonstra-
tor and Orchard Inspector.

Those who have peach trees should
watch them carefully from now on.
Last winter they were badly frozen
and as a result we had no peaches
but this is not all, the trees have not
recovered the severe injury which
can be readily seen at any time by
cutting a branch. You will see dark
streaks or rings in the wood which
is plain proof of the injury received
by the hard freezing last winter.
This has weakened the wood, causing
it to be more brittle and should we
be fortunate enough to have a good
crop of peaches the coming season
there will be many broken branches
and some trees unless the fruit is
thinned. This should be done in
every case where the trees are heav-
lily loaded with fruit. Thin, say to
four or six inches. This will look
thin at thinning time but when the
fruit is matured it will look very
different. Some pruning should be
done this spring but the grower
should be governed by the growth of
new wood the trees made last sum-
mer. Practical fruit growers tell us
to cut back about one-third of last
seasons growth but no hard and fast
rule can be laid down as conditions
from various causes alter cases.
Last winter, for instance, was ex-
ceedingly cold and nearly every fruit
bud on the peach trees in Wayne
and adjoining counties were killed.
Last spring would have been the
proper time to do very severe prun-
ing of peach trees as there was no
fruit to lose, consequently one
could have cut back all or nearly so
of the previous seasons growth
which would have strengthened the
trees this year. In extreme cases If
the trees were high one could cut
back even much more severely which
in some cases would be a decided i'm
provement and benefit to the tree
and also to the grower.
Please bear in mind when prun-
ing peach trees, cut back to an outer
branch, or in some cases it might be
necessary to cut to a bud. This rule
will generally apply to all fruit trees.
This will have a strong tendency to
spread your trees outward instead of
allowing them to run up slender and
high in the air, which is so undesir-
| able to the modern fruit grower and
also inconvenient to spray and pick
| the fruit.

GUM-CHEWING ON STAND
BARRED BY JUDGE SEARLE

Gum chewing, like munching pea
nuts at circus, may be all right in
its place, but its place is not in Judge
Searle's court. The judge made this
plain yesterday when he whispered a
request to Sam Lebert, constable,
to cease it, which Lebert did on the
instant.
Mr.. Lebert went on the stand as a
witness in the Stark-Krause-Miller
conspiracy case, and, throwing one
leg across the other, sat back in the
witness chair to await the start of
his examination.
Assistant District Attorney T. A.
Donohoe was to crosS-examine him.
Mr.. Lebert, during the wait, kept the
crossed leg swinging Imply, his jaws
wagging away at the luscious pepsin
favored wax. Mr.. Donohoe finally
asked a question which Mr.. Lebert
ground into the gum as he answered
it.
Leaning from the bench toward
the witness stand, Judge Searle
quietly asked the constable to re-
move the gum. This Mr.. Lebert did
with a nod of acquiesence. Judge
Searle, Tuesday, also asked a witness
to cease gum chewing, the two in
cidents coming so close together that
court attendants whispered among
themselves: HE won't stand for this
gum thing. Scranton Tribune-Re-

WHAT INTERVENTION MEANS
United States Not Prepared to Go to
War With Mexico.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Events of the
last forty-eight hours in the City of
Mexico have sobered all Washington
to a realization that intervention in
Mexico means war with Mexico. The
term which has been used so loosely
by persons outside the group of Off
cials Of the state, war and navy depart
ments is just beginning to be under
stood in all its consequences.
Intervention, applying the term to
the actual condition in Mexico, means
one of two things. 1t means either the
intervening of the United States be-
tween the two warning factions, which
is impossible without taking sides in
favor of President Madero's govern
ment or the forces led by General
Felix Diaz, or else 1t means action by
the United States to compel both sides
to stop their fighting. The latter kind
of Intervention in Mexico would inev-
itably result, as all other similar inter-
ventions have resulted, In both sides
abandoning their quarrel with each
other and uniting in attacking the third
party. The sending Of expeditionary
forces to Mexico, however, for the pur.
pose of providing a means of exit and
a safeguard for Americans and other
foreigners desiring to flee from Mexico.
would not be intervention.
President Taft has already said he
will not seek to intervene In Mexico
upon his own responsibility alone and
that he will place the matter before
congress in case he feels that the Mex
lean situation requires such action by

A Honesdale Building.
BY Jeanette Pohle.

This building, situated on Main
street, facing the rising sun, with its
height and width greatly dispropor-
toned to its extreme length, is con-
structed of red brick. The roof,
which is low and slanting, is made
of slate. In the front there are four
large-sized windows and a double
door which is very heavy. At one
side of this there is a smaller door
leading to another room. From the
main entrance a concrete walk with
gravel on either side, runs out as
far as the street. Surrounding this
structure is a board walk and on
both sides of it there is large lawn
which is enclosed by an iron chain.
A long, narrow conspicuous sign
which is blue with white letters in
scribed on it hangs over the main
door. During the day, and at even
ing also, this~is one of the busiest
places of the town.

Facing the west is an imposing
two-story red brick building doco-

front the roof has sort of tower on
top of it. This building is quite a
distance from the street, surrounded
by a large lawn which is very green
in the summer. The steps which
approach the main entrance are of
sandstone to match the decorations
of the building, and the Roof over
the landing is supported by six large
pillars. The doors at the entrance
are of oak, and are very large and
heavy. The two doors which are at
either side of the building are of oak
and the steps leading to the doors
are of sandstone like the main en-
