 It was while Wise made his home in this city about eleven years ago that he first attracted the attention of the authorities At that time a New York woman appeared and claimed him as her husband. He was prosecuted in the local court, but was not convicted.
 An appeal to the superior court to a sentence of three months in jail imposed by Judge Meskill a week ago for carrying concealed weapons availed John Sarra nothing, for he pleaded guilty yesterday and Judge Gager reimposed the same sentence Attorney w. F. Delaney appeared for him.
 Probation was extended to Frank Angelo, of this city, who was arrested here last fall, charged with receiving stolen chickens that had been taken by Matty Driscoll and his gang. Angelo proved his innocence of any intended wrong. He was represent ed by Lawyer Delaney.

Another plea of guilty was entered by Raphael Nicocia, charged with the theft of eight chickens in this city. Judge F. B. Hungerford is his lawyer Felix Pullano, of Plainville, entered a plea of guilty to a charge of indecent as- sault. Judge .Hungerford represents him. too.

SICK HORSE SHOT
 BY DIR. CROWLEY
Veterinarian Declared Animal In Whites Stable Had Pronounced ,
 Case of Farcy.

pr. George T. Crowley last night shot and buried the sick horse driven by John and Louis Marsh, which fell on Main street, near Whites livery stable Monday afternoon. It was found that the animal was suffering from farcy, form of glanders.
 That part of MT. Whites stable in which the horse was kept has been disinfected. The part of the stall which came in contact with the horse has been torn down and burned and the rest has been scrubbed with dls- infectant. A report has been made to the state commissioner, who will decide whether quarantine is neces- sary.
 When questioned regarding MT Whites statement that the horse did not have glanders, Dr. Crowley said the horse had a pronounced case of farcy, which is the same disease as glanders except that it takes a differ ent form. Farcy is disease of the skin appearing in boils, varying in size from that of a pea to walnut. These break open, discharging a pus, which dries up and leaves crust The discharge from the nose accompany ing glanders is caused by alterations in the membranes of the nostrils.
 In few cases, said the veterinari- an, both forms appear at the same time and farcy will usually develop into glanders. This was true of the horse killed Monday. He had pronounced form of farcy and his submaxillary gland was already en- larged, indicating that the disease would soon have reached the nostrils and become known as glanders.
 It was in justice to other horses and their owners, said Dr. Crowley. that he killed the horse.

CERNANY'S REPLY IS
 NOT SATISFACTORY
To Count Von RcVtat'eW, Naval
 Writer and Die Post.

Berlin, March 5. via London, 11:45 on naval subjects, has article in to- days Tages Zeitung In which he ax- presses his through displeasure both with the American note to Germany concerning the naval war zone and the submarine blockade of the Brit tsh Isles and the German answer to this communication.
 Course Out of Question.
 Count Von Reventlow says Amer jean proposals would have the effect of making Germany's submarine war
 impossible, and Germany's answer gives heed to this demand. Concern
 ing Gerlnany's willingness to proceed
 according to the general international
 rules against hostile and neutral mer-
 chantmen, provided the abuse of the
 flag is abandoned, Count Von Revent
 low says: According to this a Ger
 man submarine would let a merchant
 man under the English flag pass by
 with courteous bows, perhaps with a salute of the flag. To proceed accord
 ing to international rules would mean
 putting an end to searching and the
 possible capture of neutrals and the capture under all circumstances of hostiles. Such a course for German submarines is out of the question.
 Moreover, even if Great Britain promised to stop the use of false flags, there could be no certainty she would keep her promise; Germany would be the loser in any event"
 Die Post declares the fact that the United States alleged that its propos- als were based on upright friendship and the interests of humanity was enough to make one suspicious at the start" The American proposals have been dictated solely by Ameri- can business interests, this paper says If Germany agreed to these proposals she would keep faith, but England would not, and the result would ham, per Germany's warfare. Hence the German answer is not satisfactory.
 Boast of Decided Success. |
 Capt. Persius, another writer on naval matters and war correspond | ent in the service of the Berlin Tage- l blatt, says he hoped Great Britain l would consent to abandon the misuse l of flags and the arming of merchant | men. Then neutral powers need have ] no further concern regarding their l ships and their citizens. German suo- l marine commanders also would be | freed of a heavy load. If an agree l ment to this effect was reached the l German government could boast of a 1 decided success which is freely ac- l knowledged, could only have been l achieved through the support of the | United States
 The Morgen Post says the American l note Is couched in gratifying form and 1 sh oWs more respect for existing con- | ditions than did the first communica- tion from Washington. Taken as a 1 whole, the American proposals l throughout are worthy of considera- ton, this paper says. t

FODDER PULLING HEAVILY
DIMISHES CORN YIELD

So far as the influence of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstra-
tion Work has gone-and that of
the better class of the agricultural
press-the folly of fodder pulling
is pretty we'll understood by the ma
! jority of growers of corn. But not
| by all, as the experience of some of
I the county agents has shown. In
directly the Times-Union may be
able TO meet the attention of some
of the sinners against economic
laws in this regard, and this is
about the season when the practice
of stripping the lungs off the corn
to perfect the sap which is to go
into the seed and give it vitality is
at its height.
The farmer who doubts that fod-
der pulling is Notwithstanding
practice may easily satisfy himself
by leaving one-tenth or one-twen-
tieth of the rows in his corn-field
unstripped, then measuring the
yield from those rows and compar-
ing it with that from the rows that
! have been stripped. If he will take
the further trouble of saving some
of the yield from each of the two
tracts for seed and testing the vi
tally he will find. say those who
have made the experiment, that the
corn from the former rows will give
far better stand than that from
the stripped rows.
Or let him strip the leaves from
some other plant than corn while
the fruit is forming and note the
result One such lesson will con-
vince him that Nature knew what
she was about when she gave plants
leaves and does not produce any use
less organs If corn had no need of
its leaves after the ears had taken
form thoueh not yet mature, she
would have provided that the plant
should shed its leaves or that they
should wither
Carefully conducted tests have
proved that loss of from one to
fifteen bushels per acre in the yield
of corn may follow the pulling of
the leaves before the ears are fully
mature The grain is not fully ma
tured. Its terminating power is
weakened. Thus it may be seen
that there is loss not only in
quantity but also in quality.
1t is hot, hard work, too, this act
of the farmer in robbing himself.
He is robbing himself not only in
the amount and seed and food value
of the yield, but also in the value
of the whole plant. after the ears
have been gathered as fodder

HAD BEEN. PRETTY
And Had Also Seen 35 Summers
When the Unexpected Pro-
posaI Came.
BY GEORGE MUNsoN.

Miss Agatha Browne was thirty-nVe
and looked older She had been pretty
when she was q girl-that could easily
be seen from the regular contour OF
her face, her soft, clear skin, and the
gray eyes which even her detractors
allowed would be beautiful if she did
not hide them behind those hideous
round spectacle lenses. Miss Agatha
Browne was professor of economics at
Ledham seminary, which, as most
, people know, receives only selected
girl pupils from among the first fami-
lies of the south.
Prof. Sampson Boylett instructed
the same select young ladies in Ro-
man history. He was forty-five and
looked his age. He was short-sight-
ed bachelor who lived for his hobby,
the customs of the Romans. When he
was not thinking about them, he was
usually not thinking about anything.
When the professor passed Miss
Browne he was entirely oblivious Of
that fact. If they met face to face in
an exceedingly narrow alley he would
discover an obstruction, slowly raise
his short-sighted eyes until they fixed
themselves upon Miss Brownies spec
tacles, and then retreat hastily with
an apology and timid expression.
The select families of the south
were not SO different, in their indi-
vidual membership, from families that
flourish and die like mute, inglorious
wallflowers. Some of the young ladies

MAHLON CORES IDEA

Mahlon Gore many years ago
was editor OF a paper i'll Orlando
and did much for this section OF
Florida. He retired from the
newspaper game some twenty
years ago but still has good ideas
OF municipal affairs and from
time to time takes his pen in
hand to express them in the
paper. His latest is that the
county commissioners of the va
riuos counties through which
the Dixie Highway will pass
should plant camphor trees along
the roads and gives mang good
reason why the camphor trees
would be the best. Mr.. Cores
idea is most excellent and should
be followed by every county III
the state regardless of the Dixie
Highway. We could soon have
Shady Highways all over Florida
and the trees would benefit the
home folks who have to travel
the highways in the heat of the
summertime.-Sanford Herald.
