DEALING WITH PEACH YELLOWS The proper method of dealing with peach trees affected by the disease ; known as the yellows continues to be ; a serious subject with fruit growers. I Most fruit growers are satisfied to rip out a tree so diseased without delay and burn it on the spot. Professor 11. A. Surface, the State zoologist of Pennsylvania, has been conducting a series of experiments with trees show ing symptoms of yellows, but does not consider the results thus far obtained as being sufficiently conclusive to base public directions upon them. In a letter addressed to the secretary and treasurer of an Allegheny County Farm and Fruit company, which has over 10,000 bearing peach trees, Pro fessor Surface answers an inquiry in regard to poach yellows in the follow ing manner: "I am not fully satisfied with the results of my studies and experiments with the peach yellows. Many trees treated by me last season, which were apparently infected, grow out of the trouble, aud are now in good shape, while a smaller percentage got worse instead of better. It is my opinion that the disease known as yellows is not always due to the same cause,and, consequently, is not always to be remedied by the same meaus. In gen eral, I would advise an inexperienced person to pull tho trees and burn them right on the spot, taking care that the infected branches do not come in con tact with the living branches of healthy trees. ''However, in regard to a studious and careful person like yourself, it is different; and I would recommend 'de horning' them while dormant, and hauling or carrying the brush from the orchard—not dragging if—being careful to avoid letting it come in con tlicr.,, ViiyWtMft tli r ße'isurne"l 112 on'a'Yiof fire as soon as possible. As a matter of economy, the larger wood can be used as fuel for household purposes or else where. A good use would be for boil ing the lime-sulphur wash, which should be sprayed on all peach and plum trees, while leafless,whether in fested with scale or not. "After dehorning I should mulch the trees with almost any kind of cov ering that I could put around the roots, preferring strawy stable man ure. In the early spring I should give the soil a dressing with a complete fertilizer, in which nitrogen would predominate, obtaining this from dif ferent sources,sueh as nitrate of soda, dried blood, and tankage. I should give special care to the cultivation and, if necessary, to the watering of these trees. I believe they will grow out of it, us nine-tenths of mine have done."

THE TRAMP'S SHOES An occurrence took place among a gang of hoboes in the lock-up a night or so ago, which illustrates not only, broadly, that tramps will pilfer, but also that they will not scruple to steal from each other when opportunity of fers. First, it should be explained .that during January thus far fitfy-four tramps have been sheltered in the lock-up. There is scarcely a night that half a dozen lodgers do not apply. There were just nine in the build ing a night or so ago, when the oc currence above alluded to took place. When the chief of police unlocked the building the next morning there was a state of great turmoil of the inside. One of the fellows had lost his shoes .11 .tin u.nu u t t ~ ,4.i piosecui uig a vigorous search about the building for the missing footwear. Others were as sisting in the search, all agreeing that the disappearance of the shoes was most inexplicable. Among the tramps was an old patri arch, who carried with him, besides a weighty box containing tools for fil ing saws, sharpening scissors, &c., a large bag or sack in which was stored his wearing apparel. The chief-of-police was sure that the shoes were in the lock-up ami lie re vested the old man to reveal the con tents of the b;«The patriarch was very iudigDant lie resented any re mark that would seem to reflect on his honesty. The chief, however, was obdurate itud the contents of the bag were revealed. Near the bottom under a variety of other articles were found the shoes. Five Boys Held for Robbery.

The proofreader was this man. "Suddenly," Lombroso said la telling the story, "he threw himself at my feet, declaring that he would commit suiride If 1 published this story with his name. Ills face, before very gen tle, was completely altered and almost terrifying, and I was really afraid that he would kill himself or me on the spot.

M. C. A. swimming class was sold at pub lic sale at the water works Saturday afternoon, the purchaser beiug W. Y. Oglesby, Esq. The house boat was built a couple of years ago and it was thought that it would prove a groat convenience to the swimming class, the intention origin ally being to take it away from town to some spot along the rivor where all tho conditions were favorable for good bathing aud there anchor it to be used as a shelter and a place for_ dressing. The plan did not seem to work out rightly. For a year or more past the boat house has lain along the river just below the water works, whero it has been used indiscriminately by boys swimming. It is claimed that no just apprecia tion of the house boat has been shown by those who use it; that on the con trary it has been very much abused; also that it has been impossible to get any one to assist in securing the boat when winter arrives or when floods occur in summer. On several occasions it has been saved by the employes at the water works. It would have been carried off by the ice Friday night had not Henry Jones arrived on the spot in the nick of time and towed it iuto shore. These facts were adverted to by W. V. Oglesby preceding the sale on Sat urday. The main reason adduced for selling the houseboat is the fact that of the money which Mr. Oglesby ad vanced for building the boat some fif teen dollars still remains unpaid him. With no one personally responsible for the boat the chances were considered slim that it would survive the winter and it was, therefore, decided to sell it. It was put up at auction so that all would have an equal chance to ob tain the boat, if they cared to possess it. The sale took placo 2 at o'clock. Some twenty persons were present in- I culding the proprietors of the several coal dredges, who might have use for craft of that kind. Constable W. E. Young was auctioneer. Bidding was slow and the boat was knocked down j to \V. V. Oglesby for ten dollars.

RIVER WATER AT ITS WORST The unpleasant taste and odor of river water detected periodically for some time past Sunday as well as the day before was almost nauseating in its effect. To whatever cause the deleterious qualities of tlio water may have been attributed in the past there is no doubt but that the bad taste and odors at present are due to large quan tities of petroleum passing down the river with the ice. On Saturday while the drifting ice was the thickest the petroleum was not generally observed. There were times, however, when the oily stuff could be seen covering the surface of the water in the clear patchos that oc curred between the ice cakes. The presence of the petroleum in the river is explained by the fact that a large break occurred in the Tidewater pipe line where it crosses the Catawissa creek, on Friday. Before the daniago could be repaired many thousand dol lars worth of petroleum escaped. The oil here was chiefly detected on using the water; but where the break occur red—at Mainville and at points along the Catawissa creek—tlio people were nauseated with t!io odor of escaping petroleum. The taste of the water and the odor emitted when it is boiled are the same as complained of tor sometime past and which were attribt ed to other c auses. The tidewater pipe lino crosses the river at Rupert as well as the Catawissa creek at Mainville. j Whether the joints of the pipe are at all times perfectly tight-preventing the escape of petroleum into the water might be worth while finding out be fore we look any further for the cause of this particular form of river pollu tion.

CONDITION OF TRADE IS GOOD Henry Clews' letter of Saturday says: "Gold continues to be export ed, chiefly to South America on for eign account. A favorable feature of the foreign exchange system was the break in cotton, which must necessari ly stimulate exports and thus lessen the tendency to ship gold. Finance bills should also soon bo in larger sup ply. A better tone exists in the for eign security markets, Paris boing strong financially and uninfluenced by the weakness of this market. The re duction in the bank of England rate was, of course, a favorable feature. London has fully recovered from ap prehensions regarding the elections, the latter indicating that the British public is not prepared for revolution ary changes. These turns for the bet ter in the monetary situation are much needed, if the various new issues which have been pending are to be success ively floated. It is quite evident that the prices wore too high on the old level for investments, and that lower I prices and considerable liquidation were necessary in order to enable the financing these new enterprises. When the present collapse is over, and the time has elapsed for a return of con fidence, these undertakings will be re sumed anil the'prospect for their suc cess will have been improved by the late decline. General conditions show little change. The severe winter is some what interfering with the activities of trade, checking business operations and diminishing traffic in the interior. The January statements of our large railroads are likely to have a rather indifferent showing,'for earnings have frequently suflered by these interrup tions, while expenses have been mat erially increased by storms. The iron trade is already feeling tlio effects of severe weather, many mills having been shut down on account of lack of raw material, while railroads and con tractors generally are deferring orders until resumption of construction work becomes more feasible. THE ICE CROP The present thaw has proven a bad setback to the harvesting of ice. Where it did not destroy the ice en tirely, as on the river, it has rendered it muddy and unfit for use. The very best of ice,a foot in thick ness, was being harvested from the river as well as from other sources. Had the breakup not occurred until a week or ten days later there would have been an abundance of ice stored away in Danville. As it was, all the smaller ice houses are full, but the larger buildings,such as A. M. Peters' and the one uniic oy W. S. .Lawrence along Mahoning creek, are less than i half full. A. M. Peters lias some five j hundred tons stored away, which, ho says, is the best ice that he ever harv ested. .T, L. Kline, who is storing ice in one of tlio steel plant buildings,has a very large crop harvested, much more than lie usnalv puts away. What opportunities may occur for harvesting ice from now on is proble matical,but there is still time between the present and spring for a good solid freeze that may yield an excellent pro j duct of ice.

BULL RUMS AMUCK, FARMER INJURED U. B. Breese, 1> it* sou John and a 20 months bull, hailing from Madison township, Columbia county, near Jer seytown, were the central figures in a thrilling string of events that kept the section of town in the vicinity of the Bloom street P. & R. crossing in a furore for a few hours yesterday. The mishaps which included a brok en bone for the elder Breese, a chase to Cameron for a pair of runaway horses for the son and death for the bull, started at 11:30, when Mr. Breese drove over the Reading tracks on Bloom street bound for the slaught j er house with his bull. On the decline west of the tracks the sled skidded, jostling the bull, and the animal be coming enraged reared in his cage, tearing out the front. The flying boards struck Mr. Breese, throwing him into the street,and fracturing his right collar bone. Bounding from the wrecked crate the bull sniffed freedom for a second then made for the open gateway into (ho yard of Mrs. Harry Kneibler, jirst across the street, while the horses ran down Bloom street, making their | way uearly to Cameron before they were caught at Boyer's farm. Mr. Breese was carried into the bar ber shop of T. J. Evans where Dr. Shultz rendered surgical aid. In the meanwhile the attention of some of the residents was turned to killing the bull, while the rest formed excited groups at safe vantage points and watched developments. Guns of all kinds were soon in evi dence, but. the marksmen found it al most impossible to get a good shot. The animal held the yard until nearly throe o'clock in the afternoon before he was laid low witli throe shots from a rifle.

It will take a little time to bring this about, but it is coming and coming soon. Orders are now going out from the division of militia affairs in the War Department at Washington, D. 0., for the enlistment of machine gun com panies with the guard regiments. In some of the States, steps are already being taken to provide such companies and they will he duly equipped by the federal govenmeut with machine guns of the newest and most improved type. The plan is to have one company with each regiment and to have six guns to the company. The number to the company first fixed ou by the War Department was four, hut the latest field service regulations contemplate six. Any one who has ever seen a mach ine gun in operation knows how great ly the efficiency ot a regiment would be increased with the aid of six well served machine guns. They would bo capable of keeping up a hail of fire ami greatly re-enforcing the flre of the infantry. In repelling an attack the help of the machine guns would be of the utmost value. Moreover, they would materially add to the morale of the troops. With six machine guns to the regi ment, the machine gun company will bo divided into three platoons and thus a platoon and two guns will be at tached to each battalion.
