Now If we check the downward flow of the nap by pressing the bark It throws the food back and the fruit ap propriates It, caunlng an abnormal irowth and speedy maturity. This can le readily done by twlHtlng a small wire tightly around the limb Just be low the fruit.

A tine wire Is twisted around the body of the tree only once and left two or three weeks In July and August so as to cut off the downward flow of sup. The samo effect can be accomplish ed by a straight, thin cut directly wound the tree, merely severing tho bark. It will draw apart and fill with gum, quickly healing; but the check Is secured and a good crop of fruit suro fur the next season. Grnpe Vine.

The advantage of making cider from summer apples is that hot weather bring it so soon to :he vinegar stage that comparatively wile ot it will be drank as elder, Tin New Stock Princess Alice has. for eome time. eld tho distinction of being the best u around nernetual bloomlne stock Perhaps the new class, of which White fearl is tho forerunner, can hardly t called a comuetltor of Princess Mice, Lerause It ta so mrrerent in make. aP.

Another Damage! to Employes. Among the decisions handed down in the supreme court last week was one that will be of interest to base ball players and enthusiasts. It was tne appeal on the city of Philadelphia in the suit of the Philadelphia ball club for damages on account of the grading of Broad street. Justice Green, who wrote the opinion, said : "Base ball is a mere amusement, and nothing can be more fickle and uncertain as to their endurance than the mere amusements ol a community." To prove this he cites the skating rink craze. He says that it is even now notorious that only in large cities can the base ball business be con ducted with profit. In many localities where it formerly attracted great public interest, it has already died out and has been discontinued. It is gravely asserted by the learned justice that the contention for damages is "entirely too remote, imaginary and purely speculative to the last degree. A new trial was ordered. Another decision handed down will also be read with interest. It was in the case of Kate McNulty against the Pennsylvania railroad, in which an important point in law was disposed of. It was contained in the refusal of the court to charge the jury as request ed by counsel for the defense. The husband of the plaintiff was employed as a laborer in the erection of a rail road bridge at Tacony, near Philadel phia. He was to receive $1.20 a day and transportation. There was a col lision through the negligence of the engineer and McNulty was killed. The point set up was : "That Mc Nulty was carried by defendant in performance of a contract of employ ment and service, and was in law not a passenger, but an employe, and as he was injured by a collision clue to the negligence of the engineer the verdict must be for tne defendant." The supreme court by sustaining the lower courts denies this point. "ho Owns the Sidewalks. The recent decision of judge Clay ton of Delaware county will be of in terest to all property holders, as well as to other people who think they have a right to occupy a persons sidewalk, doorstep or fence as long as they like. In charging a jury in a case in which the rights of the sidewalk were the bone of contention, Judge Clayton laid down the law in reference to pavements in such a manner as to clear up some of the points concern ing which there has teen much ap prehension, lie said: "The owner of real estate also owns the sidewalk in front of his property subject to the right of pedestrians to use it for trav eling back and forward, but outside of this he owns the sidewalk as much as any other part of his property. It cannot be used for roller skating or a play ground for children, or other pur poses without his consent. If it is, he could first order them to leave, and if they refuse he may lay hands gently upon them, and if they refuse he may use as much force as necessary to re move them, but no more." A Great Timber Fira. Extcnsivt District In Pennsylvania is Bolng Devastated. Fire in the Goodyear Brothers' lumber operations on Nelson Run near Austin, Pa., is consuming a great amount of bark and cut lumber. The fire has been burning for nearly a week, but a force of men working day and night succeeded in keeping it out of the "slashings" until Sunday night, when a strong wind sent the wall of flame over into the precious territory. At noon Monday it was estimated that twenty thousand cords of bark and ten million feet of hemlock logs had been burned. Beside this the camps of lumber jobbers Trude, Thomas and Whiting Webster were destroyed, and all their belongings were con sumed. At present the heavens are lurid with the glare from the fire, and the air is smoke-laden. The Goodyears have bark and timber on a thousand acres that is forming fuel tor the fire, and it is doubtful whether any of it will be saved. Early Monday morning 200 men were sent from Austin to help ficht the fire. Eilkd in a Football Game Eight Players Pouncod Upon Prostrate Half-Back Rich. Benjamin Rich, half-back of the Tyrone football team, was killed in a football game at Bellwood Saturday afternoon. The game had been easy before the accident, Bellwood having scored 22 points to Tyrone's naught. Near the end of the last haft Rich was given the ball to make a gain through Tyrone's line, but was tackled and throw. Eight players fell upon him, ind when the mix-up was cleared Rich was found to be unconscious, but still holding the ball. He was carried from the field, but died in a few moments, presumably of concussion of the brain. BLOOMSBURG. PA. MINERS LADES WITH UOLD- Rich Returns tor a Year's Delving tn Klondike. the The steamship City of Topeka, which arrived last week from Alaska, has on board eighty-five miners from Cook's Inlet and about $300,000 worth of gold dust. George Hall has bought 3000 acres in Sunrise district, and expects by hydraulic work to take out $1000 per day. The miners, he says, are satisfied with Cooks Inlet. Gold is not as plentiful as on the Klondike, but there is plenty of it and no trouble about food. Among the miners with money were John Raynor, $40,000 ; Robert Michaelson, $40,000 ; A. M. Brown, $15,0001 E. C. Price, $20,000, and II. A. Schmeser $14,000, all taken out in one year. Thomas Williams, Robert Elliott, Richard Lane, Frank IJucrev and rred bmith have irom $cooo to $ 1 5,000 each. Sink Creek, at Cook's Inlet, which was abandoned is now valuable. Smith took out $1000 there in two days. The next boat will bring down more Cook's Inlet miners and ilenty of gold. Hall says mining is done on the beds of creeks, and high water stops the operations. Three hundred miners will winter at Cook's Inlet. The Topeka brought John A. Haloney, a lawyer of Juneau, who had reports from Dawson up to bept ember 8. He left there on August 9, He said no boats had arrived with food, and the residents were excited. Every hit of food had been contract ed for, but there was not sufficient to feed the inhabitants until spring, and unless boats arrive from St. Michael s there will be actual starvation this winter. Fifty persons were to leave there on September 26 for Juneau. Scarcity of food is driving them away. There is gold at Dawson in plenty, bnt not food." MILLIONS ON THE WAY EAST. John F. Malonev, of Juneau, savs that about $4,000,000 in gold dust will be sent East this fall "There are stacks and stacks of gold," he said, "each with the owner's name on it. Alexander McDonald will pro ducc the lamest amount. I hesitate to aive fi 'ures, but tlw simple truth is that his various interests will yield from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 this winter. These figures are staggering, but true. ' Malonev offered $So.ooo for a one half interest in claims Nos. 35 and 36 on El Dorado, whicn was declined, Charles Anderson, on El Dorado, panned out $700 in three hours, and James Tweed in two hours shoveling cleaned up 252 ounces ot gold. Stranger Than Fiction. Muncv Voterans Find Gun and Canteen at I Gettysburg. A strange story has come to light through the Pennsylvania railroad ex cursions to Gettysburg. On the first of the recent excursions, two Muncy veterans boarded the train at that ulace. Thev had not seen the field since the days of the battle in 1863 On the last day the one had hidden his musket and the other his canteen under a ledge of rocks on the field, and they were going down to hunt for them. After a short search the rocks were found, and under them, to the intense surprise of the veterans, was found the canteen and tha barrel of the musket, the stock having almost entirely rotted away. The prizes were secured, and are now in the possession of the owners in Muncy. The names of the interested parties could not be learned. NOTICE.
