MR. SMITHERS OF WASHINGTON. rorlerical and Suspicions Actions of an AllSd l-vansclltt. In a handsome little city, about two hours ride from Indianapolis, Mr. Sinither3 recently Officiated at the Christian church. He made an eloquent address,, a fervid prayer, and officiated at the communion service. He was not known by the younsr pastor, but he paid he was sent by the Chritian evangelic al eociety of Washington. Brother Sraithers was attired in a brand-new clerical suit of black cloth, with cassock vest and white cravat . He made a wonderful impression upon the elders of the church and received a number of invitations to dinner. These were emilinply declined, and he returned to hie hotel, where there waa also stopping a lady of commanding appearance, whom the evangelist introduced a3 his betrothed wife. who had come from her home in a neighboring town to spend the Sabbath with him. She accompanied him to church in the evening and received many introductions among the church peoplel Their landlady at the hotel pave up her private parlor to Mr. Emittiere and his fiancee that evening, where they sat billing and cooing in bushed and reverential tones until midnisht, when a relative of the bride-elect appeared and carried her reluctantly away. There was a broad-prinninjr and irreverent rerson in at this time who declared h i had met Brother Smithers in Indianapolis under very diSerent circumstances, lie was quite rejoiced to find lie had changed his calling: and profession in fact, he thought Gabriel might blow his horn now. otne of the church members thought this sounded like suspicious reflections cast upon the trumpet-tongned evaneeliet, and they did not encourage the person to f3v anv mere upon the subject. Alt-two weeks alter this a theatrical com'f ny visit laMir.Yec?.me teinrJp'ied f isited the city, and one of the :e so ill trat the mother was for. The mother, who lives in Indianapolis, arrived promptly, a portly dame with a face jrood for a joke or a combat. On the next train the same day that the mother of Mips Adelaide Trelawney arrived, Brother Smithers came also, but so changed in appearance that he could scarcely hope to be recognized. He was closely shaven, his hair was not the same color, he now wore a shabby, liht business suit, and the shining silk hat was replaced by a wide-rimmed "slouch. lie had eecn in the papers that "Uncle rlaved in Tom's Cabin" wa3 to be -, and run in to see that ever-aKt-cting drama, lie wouia cviaenuy have preferred not to have been recognized as the evangelist, but being cornered, did not deny it. His confusion, however, can better be imagined than described, when in the hall, he ran against a portly female, who gave an ecstatic scream of delight at sight of him. She sat on the stnirway a mu-jr of beer and a rriUFtard-pla'tershe'was carrying up-itairs, covered him all over with her fat arm?, and explained, over his ghoulder, to the ethers present that he was her husband, and the father of the sick daughter upstairs. "What! Was ehe really the wife of.Mr. Pmither, the evangelist," inquired the landlord. "No, she really was not, but she was the wife of Mr. Blank, the drummer, standing there." 'And didn't thev reside in Washington?" "Washington nothing! They resided in Indianapolis, and not four squares from the Circle. "Who. then, was Miss Watkins, the man's letrothed?" "Watkins! Betrothed?" screamed the lady. "Now what did that mean? She lrould be pleased to know." The landlord thought it probable she would not be pleased to know, and he suOV-red Mr. Smithers to draw him into th? o":ce by the coat sleeve, where, after a brief conference, the former was left alone. Smirhers had taken the train for parts unknown. It is too bad to shut down upon this complication at so interesting a climax, but there is little to tell. The proprietors of the hotel, for prudential reasons, were willing to keep the affair quiet. Miss AdelaideTrelawney said very peremptorily from her sick bed that there must be no racket between pa and ma there, else it might injure her professional prospect.6. And Mrs. Blank kept ominous silence, only remarking that ehe was waiting until ehe got him home. Mies Watkins, the betrothed, when heard from, expressed the noblest sentiments. She eaid she would forgive them all lor their attempts to injure an innocent girl, and she hoped the dear Lord would not forget to set it all down to their account in the Iffe to come. But a iSentiel reporter, who recently met Brother Smithers in Terre Haute, has sequel to add. He was confidentially informed by Smithers, when in a particularly garrulous condition of mind, that he was on his way to Oklahoma, where, after divorcinsr the old woman, he intended to marry Miss Watkins and settle down to an evangelical career. He added, thoughtfnllv, that some points of the Christian faith he could not reconcile to bis conscience as orthodox, and he thought of starting a new sect with broader and more liberal views. Pure religion and undefined he pronounces at low ebb in Indiana, wher& the church is completely in the hands of infants, who are ever ready to bo taken in by any long-faced humbug that comes along. "And such religion as that does not suit me," quoth Brother Smithers. For tsgan'i Monument. FmGriEl.D, III., May l-V Hotm to-day pnwed the bill sppropriarias J V,00 for a monome&t to the Ute Geo.

FOR THE MARKET GARDES.

TIMELY HINTS TO FARM FRIENDS. Cropping An Orchard Spring Treatment of Trees The Flower Yard May on the Farm Household Hint Pointera For Garden and Field. After the first complete planting of garden crops, says the American Agrimliurirt, and when the ground has once been fully occupied, the careful gardener will plan for succession crops to occupy each place as it becomes vacant. The ground having been M eli enriched in the beginning, and well cultivated subsequently, it will pay better to work it for second, and even third crops, than to manure and break up new ground. As to the best method . of continuously occupying the land, each gardener mu$t be guided somewhat by the naeds of his market. The first ground to become vacant will be that upon which were grown onions, beets and radishes. As the onions and beets will bo thinned, instead of being pulled regularly (the largest being picked out as they become ready for the market), vacant places will be made in the rows. In these may be put cabbage plants (a second early kind), filling only alternate rows, to that by the time the lirst crop is off the ground will be fully occupied again and ready for the continued use of the cultivator. The smaller a plant is when set out, the better it is, providing it has a stem stout and stocky enough to be handled without damatrin it. A four-inch cabbnge or sweet potato plant ia better than a larcer Olie, more 6Ure tO grow and to give a valuable product. The first requisite for SUCcess with such crops, especially with eelCry, is tO have good plants. Plump stocky bunches of celery Will brin two or three times as much in the market as thin, ill-shaped ones. To produce these to the fullest extent, the plants must be transplanted at least once (twice is better) before beinz finally set in the rows. The first transplanting should be as soon as the plants are large enough to handle; the second, when they are four to six inches hi?h, and they should then be cut back one-third their bight. This can be done easily and quickly by taking them up in bunches and clipping the tops with large shears. The tomato plant will also repay any especial care given in transplanting. This plant should never le forcibly pulled out from the seed-bed, but a compact ball of earth should remain about the roots, and kept there intact until the plant is reset. An implement especially made for such purpose may be had at the seed-stores for a small sum, or a garden trowel carefully handled will do the work very well. May on the Tarm. In this latitude May entails more labor on the farmer than "any other month in the year. It is a time when a hundred jobs are to le done at once, and tobe done at the proper time. It is really the opening of the year, so far as agriculture is concerned, " it being unsafe to venture seeds in the ground sooner, as the frost may come upon the young plants at a time when but little opportunity can be had for replantine. Previous to May the ground should have been thoroughly prepared, the manure spread, and the early weeds destroyed with the cultivator. The corn crop should be well under way by the seed having been planted before the month is out, the harvesters procured, and tool3 made ready for cutting the wheat, as but a short time remains before harvest. The first picking of strawberries will come in as the month passes away, and the weeds in the rows should be pulled out by hand now. Cropping an Orchard. A farmer, writing to the New York Worhl, says : "For three or four years a young orchard may be cultivated for a crop to advantage, but the ground should be manured the same as it would have been if not in trees. Such cultivation will bring trees forward more rapidly, but should not be continued too long. In ploughing care must be taken not to injure the roots of the trees. These extend quite a distance, and after the fourth or fifth year the trees should have all the nutriment they can gather from the ground, and it is then bad policy to take ell a crop. Plowing may be continued longer, and clover be raised and hogs allowed to run on until it is plowed under, when the land and tiie trees will both be the better for it; but after an orchard begins to bear I would not take off anything in the way of a crop except the fruit," prlng Treatment of Treei. About this time of the year, savs a New Jersev farmer, the fruit trees will be greatfy benefited by a thorough treatment with a wash made of sott soap. Ihe rougn bark may be scraped off, not too severely. with a dull hoe, and the wash a very strong soapsuds applied with an old broom. This enould be repeated in June, and of the many wavs which are recom mended for combating borers, bark lice and other pests infesting the trunk and limbs, I know of nothing better or more effective than this easily prepared, home made reniedv. It mav also be applied to advantage on young trees which have not yet come into bearing. nerever 11 is used it is not only obnoxious to insects, but keeis the bark in a healthy condition and gives the tree the appearance of being well cared for. The Flower Yard. The tuberoses, caunas and dahlias are in order now. The beds must be deep, and the ground very rich, Lamias show the effects of manure, or its omission, in a short tune, and it is useless to attempt to grow them to perfection unless the ground is in order. A shovelful ot well-rotted manure should be placed around each rose buh, and tho supports for the climbing roses should bo in position AH kinds of climbing plants that come from the seeds, euch as the mornincrrlorv. should be looked alter, and the bor ders'ofthe tlower-yards should be kept neat. Grass injures all kinds of flower. and if a lawn is to be decorated with flowers the ground around tho plant must be kept clean. House plants will be greatly benefited if tranaferred to the soil outside to be repotted in the fall, and thev can be made to serve as additional ornaments to beds or clusters. Farm and Garden Pointer. riant feds of nasturtium now for a late) flowering bed. They are very ornamental.

Strinir-beans should be planted in rows, each bean being tix inches from the next The rows should be only separated sufficiently to allow the use of the'hoe. The German wax stringless variety is preferred for family use. Fine, rich compost, or rich earth, is the best fertilizer lor flowers. Hoses should be culti vated by raking the surface of the ground around them. It injures some varieties to stir the ground deep. Superphosphate is an excellent fertilizer for shrubs and other hardy bloomers. The strined cucumber beetle not only de stroys the cucumber but will attack the melon. A gauze covering is the best protection, l-ater on an application of strong 6oapsuds will be partially etlectual, but this insect is difiioult to combat, and as many as possible should be destroyed by hand. Foot rot is not as prevalent as formerly. This is due to the sheep being kept on dry ground instead of given only the wet pastures, as before. Sheep should invariably have shelter at night, but tbey object to being confined in a close building. An open fched, with dry floor, should be provided. Watermelons and cantaleups may be planted now. An excellent plan is to put the seed on a row similar to that used for sweet potatoes instead of making a separate hill for each plant. The rows should be ten feet apart, and the plants eight leot apart in the rows. l se plenty of manure, and scatter it in the rows. Try the treuch system of crowinff late pota toes. Make the rows twelve inches deep and eighteen inches wide, l'lant good seed, cover an inch, and as the plank crow add dirt UDtil the trench is filled. In the meantime use plenty of commercial fertilizer. This is laborious, but it is the way the extraordinary yields are obtained. An old now that has shown herself a cood mother should be preferred to one that is younger. Tha practice of using young fOWg is ure to cnu in a degeneracy of stock sooner or later. To avoid liability from the weight of old sows, which sometimes crush their pigs, reduce them in flesh. As a rule most brood sows are too fat, in which case the piijs come weak. Clover, with bran slop at night, is the best food for a brood sow in summer. Household Hints. IIow to Prepare Salted Almonds Pour boiling water over, let stand a few moments until the skin will slip off easily. Then sprinkle Ealt over them, or let each one salt them to suit their taste. Orange icing is not only easily made, but is pretty delightful to the taste. Take one-half pound of powdered suar, one tablespoonful of boiling water, grated rind of one orange and sufficient orange juice to moisten. Put the sugar in a bowl, add the rind and the water and juice. The king should be very still" and used immediately. Orange cane, with vanilla sauce, is one of the cheapest, quickest made desserts known, aud is just the thing when a friend drops in to dine and the housekeeper is unprepared an everyday occurrence. Take small, stale sponge cakes (lady lingers,) dip them in orange juice, place them in a glass dish, and pour over the vanilla sauce. Serve at once. Coffee Cakes One cup of sweet milk, two of suzar, one of butter, three well-beaten es, three teaapoonsfnl of baking powder, worked into flour enough to make a stiff dough; roll out thin and si it ground cinnamon, then sheet and roll into a roll, cut off slices from the roll and place on tins; before baking sprinkle rather thickly dry white 6ugar on the tops ot the ashes. Iayer Cake One and one-halt cups of sugar, half a cup of butter, one-halt' cup of 6weet milk, two heaping cups of flour, with two teaspoonsful of baking powder, three e?7S, the white and yelks beaten separately. For the filling take a cup of sugar and a little water, and boil them together until the 6irup is brittle when dropped into cold water. Then remove from the fire and stir quickly into the wellbejiten white of an egg. Add to this a cup of stoned raisins chopped fine or a cup of chopped hickorynut meats and place between layers and over the top. A Cure for Bunions It is almost impossible to cure a bunion. A French cedical journal. Hfvie MfJirale dr Low vain, says Dr. Salemi of Nice uses the following method: The foot is washed with soap and water, after which the adjoining healthy parts are protected by a thick coat of elastic collodion. Thenic acid is now melted and applied to the hardened surface by means of a pointed brush. After allowing it to dry for several minutes the excess of acid remaining may be taken up with ordinary blotting paper. This application should be repeated every three or four days until a cure results. A .Swiss Cure for a Fresh Cold Camphor, says the Lined, has often been recommended for colds in the head, although Dr. George Johnson and others have long since indicated the dancers from concentrated alcoholic solu tions. A Swiss pharmaceutical journal gives the following method: Into a jug half tilled with boiling water put a drachm of powdered camphor; over it place a funnel-shaped paper from which the apex has been torn off, so as to admit the nose. The camphorated steam may thus be drawn in through the nares for ten to fifteen minutes. Any coryza, it is maintained however severe, will yield to three such appli cations. Mutton Cutlets, Tomato Sauce Take half a can of tomatoes, selectine the most solid part, and stew them twenty minutes with a little parsley, two cloves, pepper and salt. Put a teaspoonfui of butter in a clean eaucenan over the fire, and when it reaches the bubbling point add a large teaspoonfui of flour. Mix this smoothly, and when thoroughly cooked add the tomatoes, which must first have been passed mrouga a sieve; sur tne sauce well. iroil ouickly over a hot fire half a dozen well trimmed mutton cutlets, arrange them on a platter, and pour the tomato sauce around them. Ihe dish should be served smoking hot to be good. Pineapple Fritters Make a batter of one pint of milk, three eggs, a cup of salt and a pint of Hour, with a teaspoonfui of baking powder. I se canned pineapples. Divide the slices into small triangular pieces, dip each in the batter and fry it to a golden brown color in plenty of boiling lard. Dish them on a folded napkin, sprinkle them lightly with powdered sugar and serve them as quickly as possible Send to table with them a sauce made as fol lows: Strain the pineapple juice which will be left in the can into a small enameled sauce pan, aud add to it the juice of half a lemon, a wineglasstul of white wine and a teaspoonfui of powdered suuar. Bring this to a boiling point and thicken to the consistency of thin cream with arrowroot mixed with a little cold water. If preferred, tho pineapple may be inmced and mixed with the batter.

TIIE SAMOAN CONFERENCE.

AMERICAN DELEGATES SUCCESSFUL. They Sneceed la Carrying- Kvery Important Point They Set Out To Obtain The Oer man Fress Makes a ComplaintMr. Phelps Interviewed. Beeus, May 13. Copyright, 1W.-The fourth session of the Samoan conference, which was held yesterday, took place in the small room of the department of foreign affairs, in which the other three meets have been held. The apartment is furnished with extreme sim plicity. There is space for little besides a long table at which the commission sits. The meeting was called to order shortly after 2 o'clock by Count Herbert Bismarck, who presided at all the meetings in accordance with the established custom that the highest representative of the government of the country in which a conference is held shall preside. Count Herbert sits at th upper end of the table, just back of a plain little desk which the late Emperor Frederick used during his brief reign. He was flanked by two colleagues. Next to Baron on llorstein, who sat on Count Herbert's rizht, came Mr. Kasson, then Mr. Phelpa and then Mr. Bates, the American commissioners. At the other end of the table the two secretaries of the commission, Mr. Beauclerick, a secretary of the British foreign office, and Herr SMemlech, of the German foreign ofiiee, were busily engaged recording the proceedings. At Count Her bert's left was Dr. Kranel, the third German commissioner. Then followed Sir Edward Malet. Mr. Scott and Mr. Crowe, the English representatives, in the order named. None of the commissioners were in uniform or court dress, but all wore black frock coats. The proceedings were almost entirely formal. they consisting chierly in listening, to the reports of the various sub-committees which have been holding daily sessions ever since the ronfertnee met. At these meetings the real work of the conference has been transacted ana &S nearly ad can be learned the American commissioners have succeeded in carrying every im portant roint they set out to obtain. ndeed. so prevalent is this feeling in Berlin that tho Berlin press and other influential papers in Germany complain of the euecesi of the Americans. While the greatest secrecy in regard to the proceedings is maintained, and heretofore nothing much beyond the fact that the meeting? had been held was known, it can now be htated that excepting the quetion of indemnity tor German "sailors killed and beheaded by the Samoans, and oue or two minor points, tne work of the commission is about over, it is thought the restoration of Malietoa to power is assured, and that the plan for a tripartite government m Samoa, lor wnicn me Amenciiu commissioners contended against the German plan for one representative, selected by the three powers, will surely be put into effect. It is also more than likely that the commission has decided in favor of the absolute independence of Samoa as soon as the people there demonstrate their ability to go it alone. The indemnity question is yet to come up. It may prolong the meetings of the conference some weeks, but this is believed to be the only point on which there is likely to be a serious contest. The question of Klein's connection with the alfairs, in which the German sailors were killed, has not come up, nor is there any likelihood of its doing so. Neither will the commission hear testimony of any kind. During; the past meetings of the conference aud the committee the only point of diflerence has been between the German and American commissioners, the attitude of the English members being neutral. Their influence has generally beeil cast with a view of settling the question as expeditiously as possible. They have, however, been strongly in favor of having a Protestant for king of Samoa, which is thought to indicate their preference for Malietoa, who was trained in an English Protestant college. The most important work of the conference has been done by what is known a the working committee, consisting of Dr. Kranet, assistant secretary of state for Germany, and Messrs. Scott and Bates, and to which Messrs. Crowe and Phelps were-ndvled as advisers, the first named on account of his long experience in BrUish commercial affairs, and the last named because of his long experience in America in the tariff, and of his etperience in establishing a government out of the discordant elements in Louisiana. The duty of this committee has been the preparation of material for the general conference. In this class was a plan to settle disputes concerning land titles in Samoa. The German. French and American inhabitants of Siama have been acquiring land so tast in Apia that little remains for the natives, and it is claimed that their titles in many instances are doubtful, as the land was given them by irresponsible natives in ex change lor liquor and truies. This committee was also intrusted with the work of setting the form of the government at Apia. It is rumored that the plan agreed on is that America, Germany aud England shall each appoint a representative and that three more members of a board of control shall be choseu hy the rate-payers. o liquor shall be sol 1 to natives, although foreigners can have such stores as they choose in their private houses. Fire-arms are only to be sold to the Government, and then only under certain re strictions which prevent their use except for keeping the peace. A plan for giving the Samoans a revenue has also been devised, which provides for the re-establishment of their right to import and export duties, which right is taken from them by the existing Samoa treaty. It is understood that the representatives of the three governments have expressed confidence of beiug able to obtain from th-ir government this concession to help the ca moans. The stay of the American commissioners in Berlin is being made very pleasant. They are overwhelmed with social attentions from distinguished residents. One ot the pleasant est incidents which has occurred was the call thev made on Prince Bismarck at his request. which was a special mark of consideration, as the prince, being in feeble health, rarely goes out or receives any one. To-dav was the first time any of ihe delegates showed a willingness to talk with newspaper men about the work accomplished. Ihis morning when a reporter of the Associated Press visited Mr. Phelps at the Kafcerhof hotel, where the indefatigable commissioner was found nn to his eves in work, and announced his mission, Mr. Phelps said: "The proceed ings of the conference I can not disclose, nut I may say through you to America that nothing is interfering with the successful conclusion of our labors, but the cry of the European press that Germany is giving up everything. 1 his charge is persistently made and is naturally irritating our co-laborers. Moreover it is not true that mutual concessions have been made. Germany is no more willing than America to yield anything that will insure Samoan independence and give the natives a hetter chance. This is the prime impulse of the Gerninn as well as of the American delegation. HAD READ DIME NOVELS And Wanted To Be a Tough Protu the Wild and Wooly West. CHICAOO, May 17. Frank Jasinski, aged sixteen, stepped out in front of his father'a saloon last night with a rille in his grasp. Glancing down the street he saw Frank Kiowski, a lad of his own age and an acquaintance, standing in the front door of his home. Jasinki raised the rifle, took deliberate aim and fired. Kiowski fell, the ball baring passed through his body two inches above the heart. Jasinski then coolly took aim and fired at an other acquaintance, Mike Meka, who stood at the front door of his home. 100 feet away, and Meka fell to the ground, the ball having entered six inches below the left shoulder blade. Jasinskf escaped. Kiowski's wound is fatal, but Keka's injury is not considered serions. Jasinski belongs to the same "gang" with young Kuberowski, who, without provocation, shot a lad named Trinor, last Sunday night.

JAMES GORDON BENNETT'S LA4TEST.

Be Goes to Africa on On of Two Very Quixotic Missions. New York, May 17. According to an even ing paper, New York newspaperdom and the great clubs are excited over the latest pews from Europe that James Gordon Bennett,. proprietor of the New York raW, has gone to Khartoum, the capital of the niahdi. lie, left Paris three weeks ago, went to Marseilles then to Alexandria, and this week is in Cairo. Two stories have been cabled over in ex planation of this singular journey. One is that one night in Paris, at the club Msreton an organization which resembles the famous Eccentric club of Jules erne m the character of its many members an officer who had seen service in the Egyptian army said that it was impossible for any foreigner to enter Khartoum and depart alive. A discussion arose in which were cited the many instances of clever Europeans who had disguised themselves and in this garb penetrated the most intolerant and fanatical cities of the Moslem world. It culminated when Bennett, who was taking an active part in the conversation, declared that any one possessing sufficient brains and money could visit tne niahdi and returned nnscathed. and offered a heavy wager that he could him self do it within the period of six months. The bet was promptly accepted and Bennett, accompanied by an intimate friend, started forthwith on the hazardous journey. 1 he other story is tar more startling. On the evening in .question, at the club mentioned, Eftinett received a long dispatch from a Cairo correspondent stating that he had just re ceived a viiut lrotu an envoy of the mahdi with important news regarding Chinese Gordon, and that the latter was still alive and kept a close prisoner; that the new mahdi, by reason of his reverse on Kordofan and the Bahr-Al-Ghazal, and his loss of the great province oi Danur, was wining to ransom Gordon for a million francs. In the next few days Bennett made all the arrangements for the trip, and for the payment of the vast sum mentioned, and with an intimate tnend set out for Egypt. Bat little could be learned in rsew l ork in confirmation of the story. An editor of the Herald stated that cablegrams from Jsennett had been received from Marseilles," Alexandria and Cairo, but that nothing was known in the office about his prospective movements.

Miss Mary Woodberry, a Cincinnati artist and Sunday-school teacher, was tried to-day in the police court for shooting Henry Menke on the street last evening. They were engaged to be married, but three weeks ago Menke left Cincinnati, and she has been hunting him for several days. She found him last evening and called him out of his boarding house. He declined to marry her and she shot him id the head, inflicting only a slight wound, he said in court that Menke bad been persuaded to leave her by a Mrs. Cain, with whom he boarded, and who is now here. Menke says her conduct was improper. He is a day laborer and she lives with her uncle, Russell Leech, at Corryville, a Cincinnati suburb.
