Chicago Brokers Have Fun with a Former Indianapolis 3Inn. John B. Kitchen, son of Dr. John M. Kitchen, of this city, bids fair to break into Republican politics in Chicago. He was born and raised in Indianapolis, but located In Chicago, and is a popular stock broker as well as a member of the Windy City's smart society set. The Chicago Inter Ocean has this to say of Mr. Kitchen: "Although the ballots have not been counted yet, one man in Chicago has been assured that It Is as good as over, and has been offered his choice of nearly a dozen offices under Graeme Stewart. It is not unusual for candidates to select their cabinets .before election day. but In this case neither Mr. Stewart nor his campaign managers know that the offers have been made. "John B. Kitchen, stock broker, owner of fancy roadsters, and one of the best-known bachelors about town, is the man to whom the offices of commissioner of buildings, commissioner of public works and many other places have been offered. Thus far he has not promised to accept any, nor has he said he would go down to French Lick with Mr. Stewart after it was all over. It is not probable that Mr. Stewart Is annoyed because Mr. Kitchen has not given his answer in this matter, either, for he doesn't know it has been made. - "Fellow brokers the greatest practical Jokers known to history are responsible for the many invitations political extended to Mr. Kitchen. They began a couple of weeks ago. and have been keeping it up every day since, and no one but Mr. Kitchen knows whether he has 'tumbled yet. It may be he Is having fun watching their efforts to fool him. Early in the Stewart campaign Mr. Kitchen organized the Graeme Stewart Club on the Stock Exchange. As he drew into it nearly every broker on the floor he had reason to be proud of his organization. He was proud of it. and said so. The day the Republican candidate visited the exchange Mr. Kitchen was, of course, the leading figure, forehe was at the head of the club. He showed Mr. Stewart about and did all he could to make the visit pleasant. "Whether it was Just for fun or envy Is a question, but certain brokers decided to have fun with their political trader in stocks and bonds. So they called him up over the 'phone and, representing they were newspaper editors, requested that he give them detailed accounts of how ho entertained Mr. Stewart, at the same time apologizing for not having reporters upon the Bcene. Mr. Kitchen gave the desired information. The next day a man. who represented himself as an Associated Press man, called him up over the 'phone and interviewed Mr. Kitchen. Then came a series of callers over the 'phone. Invariably the caller said something like this: " 'Now, Mr. Stewart has asked me to sound you, but I prefer to come out fair and square and ask you if you will accept the office of building commissioner. You can have it if you say so.' "Mr. Kitchen would talk very earnestly, inquiring as to salary and duties, and say he would think about it. Then the next man would come along and ask If he would consent to be the mayor's cabinet officer, with title of commissioner of the city pound system. No one ever got a direct reply from Mr. Kitchen, so yesterday a new trial was made. A voice over the 'phone Informed Mr. Kitchen that Mr. Stewart wanted to know if he would accompany him to French Lick after the election, to recuperate and frame up a list of appointments. " 'I'll let him know in a day or two, said Mr. Kitchen. Til let him know in time.' "So it doesn't make any difference who the Joke is on, the brokers are having a lot .of fun over it." AUTOMOBILE CONTESTS. Carl Fisher and Conrad Mueller nave Wagen on Five Events. Arrangements were concluded yesterday for a series of five automobile contests between Carl Fisher and Conrad Mueller. The events will be as follows: Hill climbing with two passengers; hill-climbing with four passengers; speed contest with two passengers; speed contest with four passengers, and an endurance test of a 100mile run. George Weldly, James A. McKim and Frank Moore constitute the committee that will decide on the details of the contest. Each event is for $200 a side and $1.000 in all is at issue. The hill-climbing contests will take place this afternoon and the committee will select the hill this forenoon. On Wednesday the speed events will be determined on one of the city streets and the endurance contest will take place the latter part of the week. Fisher and Mueller had a 100-mile endurance race several days ago for $500 a side, Fisher winning. The Trade for Crlbblns. Manager Watklns announced last evening that In the trade with Atlanta for Crlbblns. Matthews, who caught for the Indianapolis team last season, will go to the Southern city. Woodruff was to have been exchanged for Crlbblns,. but he refused to go, and Manager Powell, of Atlanta, chose Matthews in his place. Weather permitting. Manager Watklns expects to have two or three practice games the latter part of this week. A Match Bowling Game. The Tish-i-Mlngos and Ramblers, teams Of the Independent Bowling League, will bowl a match game to-night at 7:30 o'clock on the City Club alleys. UNRULY SCHOOLBOY. Henry Wntterson Administers a Trounclnff.to the Prairie Waif. Louisville Courier-Journal. Mrv Bryan, we fear, will never get over 1S36. More's the pity, because if he could there might ultimately be the making of a great man in him. ' It is a sad thing to see a talented young fellow of three and forty already soured and embittered, though in Mr. Bryan's case there Is no reason why he should be. The presidential orbit into which, taking him by the nape of the neck and the seat of the breeches, the fairy godmother flung him heels over head in 1S96 found him obscure and poor, and it has left him rich and famous. Of all men he could afford to bide his time. Of all men he could, with honor to himself and profit to his party, take a philosophic and cheerful view of life, recognizing his mistakes, revising and correcting his errors, quitting the driver's seat from which he lashed the steeds so furiously and took the ditch so disastrously to put his shoulder to the wbeeel of the old carry-all and to get her out of the slough of Populism and Socialism and free silver Republicanism. All dating back to 1806. Instead of doing this he is acting the part of an unruly schoolboy. Nay, he threatens to become irreconcilable. Having sworn the horse to be sixteen feet high, he proposes to stand by it and die by it. It has been clearly proved that the horse Is not sixteen feet high. There are those who deny that there is any horse at all. Yet there stands Mr. Bryan scowling upon every Democrat who wins a victory as if victory were a crime . and Democracy. and defeat were merely synonymous terms. The Chicago platform, exclaims Mr. Bryan; the Kansas City platform, exclaims Mr. Bryan; come one. come all. This rock shall fly from its firm base as soon as I. In this Mr. Bryan recalls John Wilkes's epigram of Thurlow, whose very physiognomy proved him a hypocrite, since nobody could be as wise as he looked to.be. We do not mean to say that Mr. Bryan Is a hypocrite, but It Is clearly impossible for anybody to be as honest as he claims to be. As to Lonir Hair. Israel Zangwlll. "There are three reasons why men of genius have long hair. One is that they forget it Is growing. The second is that they like It. The third is that It comes cheaper: they wear it long for the same reason that they wear their hats long. Owing to this peculiarity of genius you may get quite a reputation for lack of two pence."

FARM AND GARDEN j2? INTERESTS

The Enemies of Fruit. Philadelphia Record. Now that warfare on insects and fungi must be kept up, it is important that farmers and fruit growers perform their work at the right time and use the proper remedies for accomplishing the objects desired. So many mistakes are made in combating the enemies of plants that the Agricultural Department never ceases to send out bulletins of information at all seasons, while the State experiment stations also greatly aid in the work. The use of insecticides and fungicides in combating the many insect pests and plant diseases is well established, and their value is conclusively shown, yet there are many farmers and fruit growers who are still unfamiliar with the details of their use. Some do not seem to understand how to separate the insecticides from the fungicides, and they apply the wrong remedy frequently because or a lack of knowledge of how to proceed. According to the results obtained at the Rhode Island station the greatest loss, however, occurs from negligence, or from not spraying as frequently as necessity demands. The formulas have been given frequently and ae well known, but their application at th proper period is the most Important. It is now admitted by all experienced fruit growers that the sprayer is a necessary adjunct to the production of fruit, and that where it Is not used there will not only be no crops, but the neighboring orchards will also be endangered. The best results are obtained when the growers in a neighborhood are organized and work in harmony, for then they not only protect one another, but the experienced can advise those who may not fully understand 'the proper methods to pursue. A fungus is a plant that is destitute of the green coloring matter of the higher plants, and as this green coloring matter, or chlorophyll, is the only substance known through which the plant changes its crude food material to nutritive food material. It is evident that fungi must feed upon organized material which has been previously elaborated by the host plant, and which is adapted to their wants. That portion of a fungus which causes the damage to the host plant is composed of long, fine threads, known as "hyphae," which occur either separately or in bundles. Taken together they form the vegetated portion, or "mycelium," of the fungus. This mycelium corresponds to the roots and stems of the flowering plants. Spores are organs which are produced upon the mycelium, either upon the main body or upon branches thrown out for the purpose. Spores take the place of seeds In the higher plants, though really they are not seeds, as a seed contains a young plant, while a spore, being composed of one cell, does not. Given proper conditions, however, the spore will send out a fine filament, which develops a plant similar to the original from which it came. There are two kinds of spores summer and winter. The summer spores are borne upon the surface of the host plant. They ripen quickly and reproduce the fungus rapidly, but soon lose their viallty if proper conditions for germination are not given in a short time after maturity. The winter spores are usually produced within the tissues of the host plant commonly in the fruit and leaves. They live through the winter, and in the spring, with favorable conditions, germinate, and more fungus is again developed. As the fungus is developed within the host plant all remedies are useless, as it is impossible to reach the interior of the plant, but the spores should be destroyed before or at the time of germination, all treatment being largely preventive rather than curative. In the destruction of insect pests the remedies are designed to act in one or two ways. In one way the poison is taken Into the digestive tract of the insect and causes death. This is done by simply coating the plant with some poisonous substance, such as paris green, which is taken by the insect with the food. By the other method the food is not poisoned, aa the material, such as kerosene emulsion, is applied directly to the Insect and causes death either by penetrating the body directly or by closing the breathing pores. Many Insects cannot be poisoned, as they feed upon the Juices of plants by sucking and do not eat the external covering, but many of them have soft bodies, so that they succumb to treatment if the poison comes in contact with their bodies, kerosene emulsion usually proving fatal to them. All of the aphides, or lice, feed by sucking, as do also the true bugs, of which the squash bug Is an example. For the chewing insects, such as canker worms, the poison should be evenly distributed over their feeding places, and may be applied before they are present, as In spraying for the codling moth before the insect is hatched. For sucking insects It is useless to spray the plant before the insect appears. The chief remedy as a fungicide is the "Bordeaux mixture," made by dissolving six pounds of copper sulphate in sixteen gallons of hot water. In another vessel dissolve four pounds of lime In six gallons of water. Pour the lime water Into the copper solution slowly, stirring well, and then add twenty gallons of cold water and spray. For biting insects use parts green in the usual manner. For sucking Insects use the kerosene emulsion made by shaving a pound of hard soap and dissolving in a gallon of boiling water. Remove from the tire and add a gallon of kerosene, agitating or churning for fifteen minutes with the sprayer until a creamy substance is formed. Then add fifteen or twenty gallons of cold water. Kerosene will not mix with water, but will form an emulsion with soap and water. Garden Work. Eben E. Rcxford, in Lippincott's Magazine. The first thing to be done in garden work Is the spading of the beds. Do this about the 1st of May at the North. Throw up the soil In clods, and let it lie" as it falls from the spade for three or four days, exposed to the action of air and sun and possible showers. By the end of that time a good deal of moisturo will have drained and evaporated from It, and It will be in a condition to pulverize easily. Work it over until It becomes fine and mellow. This is important, for the delicate roots of seedling plants will find it difficult to make their way In a coarse, hard soil. Also, fertilize it well. This is another item of great Importance, for in order to secure a vigorous development we must feed our plants well. Those living in the country, where barnyard, manure is easily procurable, will doubtless depend on this as a fertilizer and, indeed, there is nothing superior to it in nutritive value but there is one serious objection to its use, and that is the certainty with which weeds are introduced Into the garden by it. There will be all the weed-pulling one cares to do under the most favorable circumstances, and barnyard manure will add vastly to the crop. I have for some years past depended on commercial fertilizers In the flower garden, and I am well satisfied with the result. By their use I get fine plants and no weeds. I do not mean that the person who uses these fertlizers will not have weeds to fight, but there will be only those which come from seed in the soil. The gardener who lives in city or village will find these fertilizers on sale at very reasonable rates at all places where agricultural articles are sold. They can be varied to suit the peculiarities of the soil in different localities. The dealer of whom you purchase will be able to tell you what kind will be likely to prove most effective with you if you give him an idea of the kind of soil you intend to use it on. He will also be able to advise the proportion in which it should be used. These matters I cannot give definite advice about, because soils vary to such an etxent in kind and quality that what would apply in one place might not be the proper kind to use a few miles away. Spring Care of a Strawberry Bed. Country Gentleman. The strawberry is essentially a spring crop. Therefore the care and attention bestowed at this season of the year has much to do with its succees. What methods should be followed depend to a great extent on the previous treatment and the personal ideals of the grower. No one method Is suited to all conditions. We must take into account the season and the special features incident to one's location. The alternate freezing and thawing In early spring is especially trying on the strawberry plants, but if they have been properly mulched they will stand the test without Injurs. When the material used for thl purpose Is of loose, open nature like soja bean straw, no fear need be entertained that the plants will smother or heat at the crown, but If " some compact mulch like hay or leaves is used, or if the mulch is of uneven thickness over the surface, the bed should be examined at

once and the mulch loosened or partially withdrawn, provided Injury threatens. I If our object is earlinees. the mulch should be removed from around the crowns as soon as freezing weather is past. Some prefer to simply loosen the covering over the plants and let them force their way through. While sometimes successful, this practice Is not to be encouraged, as it tends to cause a weak, blender growth, with Impaired vitality. Others uncover the plants and leave the mulch In the center of the row. Again, there are those who are willing to bestow extra care. They remove the mulch entirely, cultivate very shallow to avoid disturbing the small feeding roots, then replace the mulch btween the rows, where it serves the two-fold purpose of keeping the fruit clean and of retaining moisture. I consider this extra labor well spent. The cultivation warms the soil, renders more quickly available the plant food present and imparts a more vigorous start. If, however, our object Is to delay the bloomiog period and thus retard the crop, the mulch should be left on a week or two after the plants would naturally have started Into growth. This Is a special practice and will require considerable care and skill, otherwise the plants will become bleached and weakened. Shall we add plant food in the spring? As a general rule it will pay, provided we clearly understand the special object. One aim should be to stimulate the fruit-producing organs and not a rank foliage growth. Manures or highly nitrogenous fertilizers should for this season be avoided or applied in very limited quantities. Wood ashes and ground bone if applied early are a good combination; sulphate of potash, acid phosphate and tankage should be equally good; four or five hundred pounds to the acre should be sufflclenL The healthiness of the foliage is of the utmost importance. To insure this, spraying with Bordeaux mixture is necessary. Spray when the mulch is removed and before the buds unfold. Apply thoroughly and with force, so as to strike both upper and under surface of the leaf. Many special practices will suggest themselves to the skillfull grower; and while sometimes the cost of these is considerable, the extra care and outlay is generally a most profitable Investment. Trne Story of a Farmer. Sioux City (Ia,) Press. Ten years ago a young farmer, thirtythree years of age, living In northwestern Iowa, took a load of hogs to town, which he sold for J34.S5. With this money he paid the collector of taxes on the farm he was trying to own, paid the grocery a long due grocery bill, called at the bank and paid for an extension on half a dozen notes, paid an attorney $00 on a mower note sent on for collection, and went home with $2.50 in his pocket. ' That night the grocer paid his clerk and delivery hoy; the delivery boy hied him to the skating rink and the clerk to his best girl, and together they attended a social ball; the lawyer sent $27 of the money . paid him to the mower company and, with his wife, blew in the other $3 at a church social, where they met the bank cashier; the tax collector went home and enjoyed a choice Havana by his own fireside, while the farmer and his wife spent the evening In poring over a sheet of figures trying to figure out how they were to meet the spring interest on the farm mortgage. To-day the clerk Is still a clerk, the delivery boy Is running a bowling alley for another party, the cashier of the bank is dead, the lawyer has gone West and Is booming some mining scheme, and the tax collector Is running a snide real-estate office, while the farmer and his wife come to town in a double-seated surrey, and this winter are spending several weeks In California, leaving their farm In care of a bright sixteen-year-old son. The above is a true story, and only one of many such. Good Wheat Outlook. Kansas City Journal. The country press of Kansas Is unanimous in claiming for wheat the best all around conditions known for years. Good wheat conditions In March are not a guarantee of a large crop, but it is the experience of Kansas that crops are seldom good when the conditions at this season of the year are not favorable. Wheat may look a bit doubtful in the fall and winter months, but if plenty of moisture is present in the first growing weeks of the spring

even poor looking fields display a wonderful power of recuperation. The testimony of the country press in every section of Kansas is . that the soil Is saturated and that the wheat plant is showing unusual vigor. kFarm Notes. It is very easy to make cuttings of currants or gooseberry bushes. A foot length of last year's growth, with the end smoothed off and fixed standing in the soil, will put out roots from its smoothed surface. It is best to leave only one above ground. This will make the Btem for the future plant. Any sort of a milk tester is better than none at all. Take as many glass tumblers of equal size as you have cows, and fill each to the brim with milk from one of the cows. Let these stand for twelve hours and ycta will get a very fair idea of the cream or butter-producing capacity of your several cows. Bear In mind that when using oil or grease of any kind on fowls only a little should be applied, as grease will sometimes destroy chicks. As a spray for poultry house use kerosene emulsion (or kerosene), adding a gill of sassafras oil and half a pint of crude carbolic acid to a gallon of kerosene or emulsion. Two or three applications will destroy not only the lice, but also the "nits" and "eggs." The management of a garden does not necessarily cause neglect of field crops on the farm. No work pays so well as that given the garden, as a larger amount of produce, and of various kinds, can be secured from a garden than from the cultivation of a large area. Every farmer who gives a garden his attention usually is more careful of his other crops. Every portion of the farm 19 kept clean and in good condition. The feeding of salt to dairy cows. should be done regularly and not occasionally. It may be given as a seasoning to the ground grain, or placed where they can have access to it. Cows have been known to fall oft one-tenth in flow of milk when deprived of salt. There are some who do not believe in the use of salt by allowing stock to help themselves, but It is beneficial to season their food with it, which makes the food more palatable and better relished. It is not always that the entire crop of peaches or plums Is destroyed because of a sudden change to cold weather. While a large number of buds may be destroyed, yet enough may remain to pay a profit, as it is well known that during those years when crops are short the prices are much better. Light crops do not exhaust the trees and land so much as do crops from overladen trees, hence the cost of production may be lessened and the profits greater, when the trees are not overloaded. The dairy cow is a very sensitive creature, and always shows at the milk pail when she has been abused or ill-treated. Her treatment should be such that will always inspire confidence on her part in the one who cares for and feeds her. The feeding and milking should always be done regularly, at the same hour each day, and If possible always by the same person. Where records have been kept it har been found that variation in these point produced variation In the amount of milk secreted and tho per cent, of butter fat, There are several borers of the apple tree the flat-headed, which bores under the bark and sometimes in the wood; the round-headed, which bores into the tree, remaining in the larval state three years, and the twig borer, which enters Just above the bud. Dig out the borers with a sharp knife, or probe into the bores for them with a sharp-pointed wire. Scrub the trees, and apply early In June and July whale oil soap (or soapsuds), with a little carbolic acid added. Burn all twigs attacked. The soapsuds keeps the moths off. The digging out of the round-headed and flat-headed borers must be done effectively. The borers are about an Inch long. A sharp wire kills them in the tubes made by them. It may surprise the Inexperienced that although the cows can be put on pasture after grass appears, the supply of milk Is then usually reduced. This Is frequently the case when any kind of change In the food Is made, but more especially very early In the spring, as the grass is then more largely composed of water than at any other season of the year, and consequently Is also more laxative than when It approaches maturity. To offset these conditions give the cows a full supply of ground grain mixed with cut hay at night, and do not keep them on the pasture but a short while each day at the beginning. Always give a full meal of grain and hay at night, and also an allowance of grain In the morning, bran, middlings, ground oats and corn meal being an excellent mixture. An Incorporated Family.

The society will buy the Dedham homestead, and make that Its headquarters, and will doubtless raise as large a fund as is necessary to provide a sufficient annual Income to carry on Its work- The project seems adapted to furnish a good deal of lawful and Innocent entertainment at small cost, and is likely to commend itself to other families that are scattered over the United States. Those Alaskan Maps. Washington Letter in New York Tost. The reported discovery in Canada of some very old maps, showing the British boundary of Alaska where the British government insists that it Is to-day. has not disconcerted any one In our Department of State. It is asserted there that the existence of such maps, bearing date 1S23 and 1824. has been perfectly well known to everybody interested, and that Hussion maps of equally remote date can be produced, showing the Alaska line a long wayeast of where anybody claims It now. While the search for ancient maps Is In progress, moreover, there are some of American authorship which show that whole region as belonging to the United States. The fact was, all the nations having even the shadowiest foundation on which to build up a claim assumed ownership of the whole northwestern corner of the continent, on the ground that It would be easier to let go of disputed territory than to acquire It after others had taken It, and. therefore, the only safe course was to reach out for everything in sight. All these maps preceding the dato of the treaty whereby Russia and England settled on the Uns between their respective dominions will be dismissed by the International tribunal as having no practical bearing on the ca?e. The particular country in dispute was almost wholly unknown to eithej party at the time the treaty was made, when there was the best of reason for both parties understanding what they were about to give and take. It will therefore be hard enough to interpret the treaty in its blinder references without further confounding confusion by going back to drawings made when every one knew, if possible, still less. I'ndfr the Knut River. New York Letter. When the tunnel under the East river is completed passengers will "shoot the chutes" under the stream from Battery Parle, Manhattan, to Nassau street, Brooklyn. The tunnel will be in the form of a crescent, with a 3H per cent, dip on each side. The trains will be started by electricity, but the pdwer will be shut off when the cars are going down grade, and the trains will acquire a velocity of a mile a minute at the lowest part of the tunnel In the middle of the river. The road will be equipped with electrical brakes, so that In case of an accident at any point on one track the train behind will be stopped automatically. This will bo the only gravity tunnel road in the world. Men sind Women. From Marion Crawford's "CeciUa.,, Most clever men are dull enough to suppose that they bore women when they suddenly loje their cleverness and say rather foolish things with an air of conviction. Instead of vtry witty things with a studied look of Indifference. The hundred and fifty generations of men. more or less, that separate us moderns from the days of Eden, never found out that those are the very moments at which a woman first feels her power, and that it is much less dangerous to bore her Just then than. before or afterward. It Is a rare delight to her to feel that her mere look can turn careless wit to earnest foolishness. For nothing is ever more in earnest than real folly, except real love. Knew but One Theodore. Chicago Tost. The enthusiastic music lovers of Chicago are putting forth every effort toward raising funds for the new Chicago Orchestra Hall.
