Latta started from Xew Vork on March 2 Ith, of this year, and covered the entire distance on foot in twenty-two days, or seven davs ahead of his sche dule. According ' to the terms of the bet Latta has 130 (lays to complete the transcontinental

A careful, inspection of the book shows a- continuous series of stations along, the- Pennsy. road, beginning at Xew York City on March 21th. Latta also bears a letter from the Knickerbocker club of New York, introducing Latta ami stating the provisions of" the bet. under which Latta is competing. Was Means of Aid.

The Hotel Keepers' Assvxriation will have a bill before the next general assembly that it hopes to have passed.

19, of New York,

his familv. Latta is the Kiest of a large family of children in Xew York. The family is destitute it is said. Latta had been practicing pedistarianism. and in some man ner the Knickerbocker Club learned of his case. This club together with the Xew York Herald postctl a wacr of .$in0 against the same amount, put up by a private individual, that Latta could make the trip between Xew York and San Francisco in 130 days, to be proved by the stamps placed bv station agents. Latta is now on bis journey to win the moncv for his fanulv When in rivmouth last "evening. Ia'tta stated that he had been averaging from 40 to 00 miles per dav. The greatest number of miles ever traveled in one dav. from sunrise to dark, was 78 miles. He carried no luggage whatsoever and obtains fod from contributions along his route. He savs that he has never been with out sufficient means, si far on his journey. When 'he reached Ply mouth I,atta seemed tired, but sxemed confident vf completing the journey. He intended to reach Hamkt rndav evening betöre topping for the night. on the road. Thev stand close to one another in distress, sickness and death and while there is a strong rivalry among them in a business wav thev always touch elbows wheir ft comes to anything that is to the interest of their employers and themselves. Thev are generous and accom modating, friendly, and willing to help the fellow wbo is down and out in every possible way. I nave talked with many ot the traveling men, and with the exception of the men who sell such good si as would be found in a hotel bar-room I have not had-one say be favored the bill that will be projosed by the. Hotel Keepers' association. In fact, the traveling salenian of today is I'M the liquor drinking, gambling, .''story telling drummer of years ago. A very large projortion of the Indiana traveling men do no use liquor in any form, and they do iiot spend their time when not at work in the bar-room attached to the hotel where they may be staying, and do not care whether the bar-room exists or not. Another large per cent of them are strongly opposed to the saloon in any form. They realize that even the hotel man who is desirous of having a bar in connection with his hotel will not employ a bartender who is addicted to liquor, and if the h'otel porter gets drunk he is kicked out of his job. The business men who put the splendid army of traveling men on the road to sell their goods in Indiana soon get rid of the man wiho spends his time in saloons or alxnit places of kindred evils. So, as a matter of self-protection if for no other reason, many trav cling men have declared that they will not aid the Hotel Keepers' association' in its fight to have saloons in connection with tib'eir hotels. They realize tint the only reason the bot el men are after such a law is from selfish personal interest. Absurd Postal Conditions. You can send an 11 -pound package today from Chicago to Merlin by mail for $1.32; to send it back immediately by mail from Berlin to Kvaoston, Chicago's next door neighbor, costs 81 cents. The total for two trips across the Atlantis is $?.13. Ibit you couldn't send that 11I km nd package by mail from Chicago to Ivvanston say twelve miles, at all. Yon would -have to split it up to three packages, as our limit for one is four pounds. For these three packages, supposing them to contain matter of the -fourth class, von would have to pay $1.70, or 1 1 cents more than for the-postage to Berlin and only 37 cents less than for the double voyage across the Atlantic, and that for a 12-mile trip. As a matter of fact the same figures would apply to Xew York and Holxykcn," less than 2 miles. If this be postal common sense the United States postofhec authorities are welcome to their apparent monopoly of it.

Harmony Chief Theme of Democratic Banquet at National Capital. Washington, April K. The possibility of a Democratic campaign being launched with the cry of "Harmon Hearst and Harmov" is being discussed today, following the Jefferson Day banquet wiiich developed a, number f surprises. The Rryan letter, )t which much had been written and said before the banquet, was not read until ?:.0 (.'clock Thurslay morning, when many of the guests had departed. The climax came in the speech of John Temple Graves, former :andidate for vice-president on the Independence league ticket, who announced that the Hearst party was ready to return to the auks of the Democratic party. His announcement was received with an outburst of applause that indicated the approval of those present. Champ Clark of Missouri had announced that the Dem.KTatic party stood ready to welcome all who wished to join it in the common struggle. One of the most significant features was the generous round of ipplause that followd the declaration of Francis Rurton Harrison ihat "the governor of Ohio is the most popular man in the party."

Few more enthusiastic scenes !iave been witnessed in the state 'ban that which greeted the governor as he rose to speak or when lamed by Kern for the presilency and seconded by Folk. The banqueters rose, shouted and waved their handkerchiefs and gave many manifestations Of approval of the sentiment. POWER TO ENFORCE RATE Circuit Court Declines to Interfere With an Interstate Commerce Order. Louisville, Ky., April 0. The Tinted States Circuit Court, sitting here instead of in Cincinnati, as usual, denied today tbr petition ot the Louisville and Xadiville Railroad for an injunc tion against Ihe enforcement oi an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission prohibiting the company raising its freight tariff in the territory between Montgomery, Ala., and Xew Orleans. The court holds. firslt that the orders seem to have been reasonable and the rate not confiscatory as alleged, and second, that Congress intended to place upon the Interstate Commerce Commission and not upon the courts the duty of considering the reasonableness of freight rates. Ftor the second reason, the court held, the courts siiouKi inoi lnierierc wiiu the orders of the Commission regulating rates unless there is some glaring error apparent. Many to Canada.

ITORCYCLE

1 STRONG TWENTY POPULAR POWER BICYCLES IN THIS CITY WITH PROSPECTS OF MORE. Carl Riddick of Winamac Republican is an Enthusiast and Tells of Trip Into Michigan. H is doubtful if any fad 'has struck Plymouth with the effect an. I lorce ot t lie present rage, which among the young fellow of the citv seems to be tlhe motor cycle craze. There are at present twenty of the popular gasoline driven bicycles in the city, and the prospect's of several more, before the end of the present sea son. L'ntil within the past couple of years, the motorcycle has been a sort ot luxurious contraption, wbicdi sometimes could be ridden as mucb as four or five miles without getting out of order, ami requiring the rider to jack his maJhine upm its stand of a dusty road, get . out his wrenches, screw drivers, ami other paraphenalia, and burn his hands dreadlul'ly on the bot cylinder, while "fixing the pesky thing." Xow it is different. Motorcycles arc built nowadays, that give no trouble at all, if pro perly Itaken care of. With their lour horse Kwer motors, tae strongly built machines, are able to plow their way through beav) sand, and up the steepest bills, vviih speed, and comfort ami re liability. To ride a motocvcle noawdays. and especially a good one, is a joy supreme, an expe rience, which is thrilling and ex alting. To see an open level road ahead, and a clear path, and "open her up, to hear the engine pulsing beneath you, the machine lurching forward, carrying you along with it, you strike a hill and mount up, and up the summit is yours without effort, ami as she start's down, your daring is tested a little more, the speed keeps gaining, and gaining until fear finally forces you, o close ibe throttle a litt'e, to check your flight through space, as it seems. The fields, iods, a bridge, bills, all lly past you, like an endless panorama. If sand Kwrns up, you tighten your grip on the bars a little, and it est your skili. Sand is the true test of every moi-vreyclist. and in the bunch making a cross country run, when you come upn a comrade, who has skiddcU in'to the ditdh, and is pushing her out on the road again, if you arc able "to shUit her through," make your sand, and the next bill 'then to look back and see ithe other fellows. just getting started again, is more fun than winning a fast race on level ground. Anyone can ride a bicycle where the roads are snnoth. but experience and I I'll 1 i it... 1 skin, is wnai iaKcs me o through the bad places. Plymouth Cyclists.

The following from the 'Winamac Republican, .concerning a ride taken by Carl Riddick, editor of that paper, and his 1." year old son whom he carried on a tandem attachment, from Winamac to Albion, Mich., and back a distance of some four hundred miles which he made, upon his motorcycle, portrays, the atmosphere a little more clearly. To those of our readers who have never ridden a motor-cycle, we might say that it is much like i riding a cross between a scenic railroad and a bucking broncho. For speed, the swiftest automobile is like an ice wagon compared with the" moltor-bicycle. For real hair raising nerve testing, for a swiftlv moving picture panorama of the country, for economy of travel and for heal'tjliful excr- , .1.., ,1 ... eise inai ormgs into anion every muscle and sets everv nerve to tingling with health and life, a Muotor-cvcle ride over a stretch

of a few hundred miles of country

roads will fill the bill better than any other contraption yet con trived by God, man or devil. 1 here is an old Roman saying to the effect that a people's civilization may be measured by the quality of their roads. The Romans built excellent highways. It has always been human nature to court judgment on our good qualities. Michigan boasts finer homes, better barns and more artisticlv laid out farms and a finer grade of stock ami more farm wealth than northern Indiana. The journey's start was made by way of Monterey, Culver, Plymouth and South l'end. At South lend wo struck east on the old Chica-gu road through Elkhart then bearing north across the Michigan line and on east through White Pigeon, Sturgis, Cold water and to Quincv. In Indiana the roads are laid off regularly. On inquiring the direction to a nearby town, one i!s told, for instance to (go. to the second four corners, then turn east or west three miles, then north to the next corner, dtc. Ar. riving at a four corners in Indi ana. any of the four diverging roads mav be the main thorough fare ami it is' easy to confuse the di'Triions to one's des ination Ii Michigan, on the other hand, one may follow thi old Chicago oad lor miles an-i tunes as it wisd- along like ) Washington -t:c-: ?' 1'oston, making every point of the compass but in the end safely leading to the proper des'tina'tion. Or again, one may follow the old Michigan road, as we did up on our return, and pass through large cities and hamlets and tra verse townships and counties with never an inquiry for directions. The main roads arc plainly established and other roads are more like bv-paths. The old Chicago road is in the same bad condition today that it was in the 10's, when inspired by the rqwirts of gold in the west, caravans of covered wagons made a never-ending procesision westward and wire the whole 100 feet olf the roadway into deep furrow.? 'vf grinding sand. Even the well worn fort paths, a feature of thicklv settled communities and the grass along the road side are marred and cut up by teamsters, who hunt m vain for a solid place upon will ich to drive. Frequent efforts have been made to im prove this important highway, but the farmers along the way have always defeated the effort,be it said to their shame. It may be said, perhaps, that the people of 'Michigan are more highly educated than their Iloosiicr relatives they can trace their ancestral lineage to the noted families of tlve nation's ear ly days. The Michigan people' possess more wealth, and culture al)out their homes, enjoy more comforts and luxuries than their neighbors in Indiana, but for the Indiana people it must be said thev are more cordial, more sym pathetic, more neighborly, more generous and public-spirited, and more readv to invest from their lesser ewaltb for roads, schools. churches and other public buil 1 ings and improvements." PENSIONS TO VETERANS. Uncle Sam Has 941,000 Soldiers and Widows on Pension Roll. Last vear Uncle Sam gave to the !M 1.000 surviving veterans. and widows of veterans, of the American wars, $100,1):) ,000 in war pensions, Details of a paternalistic government's pension business were recently presented to Congress by the Secretary ot the interior. In number of pensioners, Ohio and Pennsylania lead each with !)'?,000 in round numbers. Xew York has 8:1.000; Illinois,(S,(00, and Indiana u,000. More than .1,000 pensioners live in foreign lands Canada leads with i,i!:ll, Germany has ."SO. Remote places on the earth to which pension money, is sent include the Seychelles Ishm Is. St. Martin, Azores, liahamas, Turkey, Liberia, Korea. Honduras, and the Isle of Man. The total sent to sixtyfour foreign countries or dependencies is $S(:t,r07 a year. Three Civil war veterans have reached the patriachal ages of 10:t, 107 and 10S years, respectively. The oblest veteran of the Mexica war is a comparative youngster of ninety-four years. Annexation Case in Court. The question of East Chicago's right to annex the cities of Hammond and Whiting is now in court, the remonstrances of each city having been filed in the circuit court at Crown Point Mon day. The case will go to trial in the regular order of business in the court. Camp Appointed. The controller of the currency of Washington made formal announcement of. the appointment of Charles W. Camp of Garrett as a national bank examiner to succeed W. D. Frazerof Warsaw. Camp was notified a few days ago that he would get the place.

PRACTICAL POINTS

About Fruit and Foliage Article Tells How to Meet Their FrietidS; There are but three of four kinds of sprays necessary to be used in the control of orchard pests. Time for control of scale is past for this season but for the Others the timie is just approaching. To control apple scab use lime-sulphus soilution at the rate of one ami a half gallons solution to 50 gallons, of water. This solution can be made by lulling 15 lhs of sulphur for .'10 minutes', slack l."i lbs, stone lime in enough water to make a thin paste then put the two together and boil for a couple of hours. However for the small use it is much cheaper and less trouble to buy the commercial solution. It is just as effective as the home made, or use P.ordeaux Mixture. This is madt by suspending in burlap . lbs. blue vitriol in five gallons of water and slacking 5 lbs. stone lim'e in enough water to make a thin paste. In mixing be sure to dilute with water one or the other of the solutions before adding the other. That is, do not put the lime paste and the vitroi solution together before diluting with Water. In the use of Bordeaux on peacli or plum care must be taken not to iget the solution stronger than ." lbs. blue vitroi to Ö0 gallons of water, however, the best results last year were obtained from the use" of the lime-sulphur solution. These solutions are used for the control of scabon applies or pears ami for rot on plumbs, peaches or in fact any fruit as well as the control of curl leaf on peaches. Remember tins: Bordeaux Mixture will not kill insects neither will lime sulphur unless used at a strength that would kill the foliage, too, and then it does not poison them but stops up the breathing pores in their bodies and smothers them to death. To kill such insects as the apple and pear worm, currant worm, pdtatoe bug and every otJier insect that eats the fruit or foliage there is nothing seems to fill the bill quite so well as arsenate of lead. It is better than pari green because it sticks better.that is, it forms- a paste on the foliasge or frm't that will not wash oft' readily and it is just as sure death to the insect that takes a nibble at it as is pans green. It should be used at about the rate of loz. to 1 gallon of water. In spraying during spring and early summer lime-sulphur 1 35 and arsenate of lead 3 50 should be mixed and both applied at the same time thus fighting both the insect and fungus growth. In using pans, green one should put '2 or 3 times as much lime with it as there is in paris green an acid that will burn the foliage if put on a little too strong. If hydrate of lime is used instead of stonei fiine, put in about 1 1-2 or 2times as much as you would stone 'lime. The plum Curculio is a hard customer to deal with. Spraying with lime-sulphur 1-50 will help but as hJo works all summer it is necessary to light him all stummer. Give your plum trees a dose every 2 or 3 weeks and yni will get lots of the little bugs. Jarring the trees early in the orning and collecting the beetdes in a sheet spread under the tree helps. Bum the little pcsLsi after you have them collected. Coal oil emulsion is made by dissolving in (one giallon tain water a pound of laundry soap and mixing with 2 gallons coal il and agitating until it becomes a thick creamy Isubstance. 'Dilti te about 10 times with water and spray rose bushes or currant bushes. It will kill the rose bug and worm as well as any other soft bodied insect. FREIGHT BUSINESS HEAVY Pennsylvania Officials at Fort Wayne State There Has Been No Let Up. Pennsylvania officials at Fort Wayne state that there has been no great let up in the freight business over the local road as yet. Each spring a decrease in the tonnage u'sttally occurs and the company is forced to reduce the number of trainmen in its service as the result. Such it not likely to prove the case this time. That business continues heavy is evidenced by the nrsh that is on at the company's freight liouse in that city. It is stated that 31 men have been given employment there during the past week. With in the past month the company has been increasing its force of truckmen' almost daily and not less than one hundred men' have been added to the pay rolls in that department. There are still vacancies existing at the freight dq)ot and whenever the right man applies for a job be rs saire to land1 one. 250 Men Wanted. Two hundred and -fifty men can find steady employment in Michigan City factories right now.
