waited bed that is necessary to the latter
plant. 1t will grow out of doors; indeed
not only out of doors. but also as fa]
north as Nova Scotia under open all
conditions.
In order to render the shoots whit.
and tender they are covered or rathe,
surrounded, as soon as they make thei.
appearance above ground, by a section OF
drain pipe about foot and half high
and several inches in diameter This
has the same effect that covering celery
with earth has. Indeed, the Japanese
having no drain pipe sections to use in
this manner. cover up their udo sprouts
with earth, continuing the process of
covering until they are ready for eating.
The udo is superior to asparagus in
this: that there are not only many ways
of cooking 1t. but 1t may also be eaten
raw, as a salad or relish, as one eats
celery. Raw udo and lettuce, combined,
are favorite dish of DR.. Fairchild's.
Thus, one may have udo served twice
at the same meal; boiled and creamed
on toast as asparagus Is served, and
later raw in the form of salad. Another
advantage possessed by udo is that the
lower end of the stalk is not hbrous and
woody like the too mature asparagus.
In taste. it has q slight flavor of pine.
This. according to DR.. Fa.rchld, is OBJ
jectionable to some persons; to him, how
ever, it adds a Zest The vegetable, when
eaten raw, however, should always be
washed or soaked to remove any too
strong flavor of this nature.
But this is no drawback to the udo
as food" said Dr. Fairchild, coming to
the defense Of his pet, against the charge
that he himself, as scientist, had made.
"There are scores of common vegetable
food now which it is necessary to wash.
and even to soak over night, before they
are fit for food. Who, for instance,
would wish to eat a cucumber salad made
from cucumbers just plucked from the
vine?"
Another Chinese vegetable. the pc tSai,
or Chinese cabbage. has been imported
into the United States through the ener-
gies of the Agricultural Department. and
Mr.. Fairchild in particular This plant
has, when cooked, the flavor of a delicate
cabbage and-oh, joy-it is, when cook
ing absolutely free from that offensive,
sordid. plebeian-oh, not odor. but smell
or boiling cabbage. 1t is as free from
any odor at all as a potato Another
great advantage it possesses over the
ordinary cabbage is the fact that it can
be raised directly from the seed. thus
eliminating all the troublesome and tedi-
Gus process of hot-bed sprouting and SUBJ
sequent planting from Slips

he would resign the office, and thai, you
ON the same occasion publicly stated that
YOU courted the fullest investigation that
any person or body of men could make
of these charges. So far as ! know,
neither yourself nor Senator Watson ever
expressed a wish or said anything TO
nrevent or hinder an investigation OF
these matters.
II is my recollection that you went into
the Democratic caucus with some thirty
odd votes affirmatively for you, and
know there were others who held you as
their second choice. The fact that Col.
McGraw, who was your opponent in the
Democratic caucus, came from an adloln-
ing county to Senator Watson, and that
he was not candidate against Watson
for the short term, and the further TACT
that il was not probable that both United
States Senators would be selected from
the same section of the State, is certainly
a sufficient explanation of the fact that
many of your friends voted for Watson
and his friends voted for you.

My Dear Senator Yours OF the 18th
instant IN regard TO the statements made
by Delegate Shock, of Braxton county,
last winter, at Charleston, in regard TO
the election of United States Senators,
received.
The facts in regard 10 this matter, as |
now recollect them, are as follows:
Shock in his statement which was read
at the joint session OF the legislature, IN
which yourself and Senator Watson were
elected, said that just prior to the Demo-
cratic caucus at which you and Senator
Watson were nominated as the Demo-
cratic candidates tor United States Sem
ators he had been paid ST 900 by man
my recollection is Hambrick, from Clay
as part consideration, that he, Shock,
would vote in the Democratic caucus for
yourself and Watson, an that Shock took
the money to Judge Bennett, who counted
it. Afterwards Shock went into the said
caucus, and without saying anything in
the said caucus about the payment OF the
money TO him, voted on every ballot
against yourself and Senator Watson, and
did not make any public statement con-
corning said matter until the Joint ses-
sion of the legislature was held, at which
United States Senators were elected, al
which time the statement above referred
to. which purported to have been made
by Shock, was read. II was also pub
licly stated and generally discussed
among the members of the legislature
and others that after the said caucus
Shock stated to various members OF the
legislature and other persons that two
men whom he did not know, neither of
them being the man who gave him the
money. came TO him and demanded The
said 81 900, and that thereupon he, Shock,
delivered the money 10 the said stran-
gers, neither OF whom he has ever seen
since; that he did not know either of the
said men and that he did not take their
names. That Mr.. Hambrick, the person
VIII, m Shock claims gave him the money,
upon hearing OF Shocks Ststement, came
to Charleston and confronted Shock, and
that Shock then stated that Hamorick
was not the man who gave him the money
and that he did not know who the man
was. That he had understood that it
was Hambrick, and for that reason had
named him as the man who had given
him the money. II was also commonly
reported that Shock had stated that he

A TREMENDOUS sensation was created
IN Charleston, this State, on Tuesday,
when five members OF the West Virginia
Legislature were arrested on charges OF
having received brides for their votes for
United States Senator. The men arrest
ed were Ben A. Smith, member of the
State Senate, of Roane county; "Sug"
Rhodes, of Mingo county, Rath Duff, OF
Jackson county, T. ]. Ashbury, OF Put
nam county, and David E. Hill, of Mason
county, members Of the House OF Dele
gates. The accused men were taken be-
fore Magistrate Dering, where they
waived a hearing and were held in s., 600
bail for their appearance at court.
AS always in the election OF United
States Senator. there has been strong
reasons for believing that some of the
members Of the Legislature were willing
and anxious to sell their votes. Rhodes
is said to have declared that he could
change six votes for $4,000 Col. Viii
liam Seymour Edwards, one OF the lead
ing Republican candidates for the United
States Senate, having reason to believe
that votes were for sale, called into con-
sultation VIM. ]. Burns. the famous de-
tective. Burns put some Of his best men
on the case and trap was set. The
victims walked into il on Tuesday and it
was successfully sprung. Rhodes was
the greediest one OF the lot. He had
been voting for COL Mann for Senator,
but led break TO Edwards for $4,000.
The money was paid him, in marked
bills, in hotel, and Immediately he was
arrested and relieved of his quickly &C
CURED fortune. Senator Smith was next
TO fall into the trap-he got ST ,OO0in crisp
new bills, with the promise OF more.
Duff held out for & 900, and Hill and As
bury each sold out for $1,000. AS each
man got his money and started TO leave

fore a magistrate, where the marked
money was taken from them.
