Of course Secretary Gresham would have preferred that the making public of this treaty should have deferred until it could have been companied by the commercial treaty, to which it was the stepping stone, which has been negotiated and is now awaiting the approval of the Chinese government.

In Pittsburg the other day Judge White in sentencing a young man for a crime which has become a common evil and one which every court has to deal with, lectured him in severe guage. The offender's name is David Jones and Annie Dunn was the name of the girl he had wronged. The judge said: “Buch creatures as you are unfit for this community. You get a girl into trouble, come here with a sneer on your face and act as if you thought you had done a smart thing. You are like that crowd outside the rail there who think it smart to get girls into trouble, There should be a whipping post such fellows, and you should get 99 lashes, feel what a are, lan- for about Iam trying to make you contemptible thing you You have made no effort to help that poor girl to support that baby. | wish to say to you that if I send you to jail and you get out under the iu- solvent law I will send you back if you do not take care of this girl and her baby.

He was sentenced to pay $3 per week for five years and was commit- to jail until the sentence be complied with. ani tiitm Plant Shade Trees. It is not generally known among the farmers of this state, that there is a bounty offered tax payers for the planting and cultivation of shade trees along the public highways. The law was passed in 1879, and says: “Any person liable to road tax, who shall transplant to the side of the pubiic highway on his own premises any fruit, shade trees or forest trees of suit- able size, shall be allowed by the su- pervisor of roads, where roads run through or adjoin cultivated land in abatement of his road tax, §1 for every four trees set out, but no row of elms shall be placed nearer than 70 feet, no row of maples or forest trees nearer than 50 feet, except locusts which may be set 30 feet apart; and no allowance shall be made, unless such trees shall have been set out the year previous to the demand for such abatement of tax, and are living and well protected from animals at the time of such demand.” No person shall be allowed an abate- ment on his highway tax more than one-quarter of his annual highway tax, and any person who shall cut down, kill or injure any tree shall pay to the supervisor of roads 30 cents for each tree. a. A The Industrial Situation Dunn’s Review for the last week says: No one questions that the vol- ume of business is improving from week to week, though slowly, and there is more hopefulness as to the fu- ture. In almost every industry of which definite records are available, it is evident that the business in progress is greater than it was in January or February, though in none is it near the normal quantity except in certain sections. It is noticed that the recov- ery of business is much greater in some localities than elsewhere, particularly in iron and steel, where differences of freight rates, cost of materials, and wages of labor give especial advantag- es in times of sharp competition, ———————-—— A Million Friends, A friend in need is a friend indeed, and not Jess than one million people have found just such a friend in Di King’s New Discovery for Consump- tion, Coughs, and Colds.-—If you have never used this great Cough Medicine, one trial will convince you that it has wonderful curative powers in all dis- eases of Throat, Chest, and Lungs, Each bottle is guaranteed to do all that is claimed or money will be re- funded.
