Cincinnati, O., March 20. Musty with age, the bones of the Rev. Stephen Theodore Badin were removed from the crypt under the altar in the Cathedral, eighth and Plum streets, yesterday, and sent to the Holy Cross Fathers at Notre Dame University, South Bend, Ind. 'One of the most interesting spectators at the removal was Josephine Wing, through whose remarkable memory the searchers were able to locate Father Badin 's body. Although 06 years old, this remarkable woman retains all of her faculties, the most surprising of which is her very accurate memory. Without difficulty she was able to guide the searchers to the exact spot where the body lay. She was born in France and came to America when a child. She has been associated with the church in an active capacity for more than eighty years, coming to her present location at the parish house at the Cathedral when the move was made from St. Xavier Church, in Sycamore street. Tells About Burial. She described yesterday graphically yesterday Father Badin 's appearance when alive, and told with much sentiment and feeling of the services attending his entombment in the Cathedral. THE SUMMER'S "STRAWS." (Boston Herald.) . Had the Baltimore fire devastated the manufacturing district of that city instead of the wholesale business section the people of this city would have had to pay sky prices for straw hats this summer. Seven-eights of the better quality of men's straw hats in this country are made in Baltimore. The fire missed the hat factories by a pretty narrow margin. While nearly all of the straw hats which will be worn are already made they are still in the factories in Baltimore, and so would have been destroyed. One of the first things the hatstores here did when they heard of the fire was to find out if the factories had been touched. According to the hat men the popular straw hat this summer will be the smooth one made of English split straw. They are likely to come high, because this straw has been hard to get this year. Some of it is imported from Japan, but that will not affect tkra seaa6tfs supply;

FIFTH STREET.

; I. E. OF THIS CITY HAS THE PLEASURE OF OBTAINING DR. H. A. GOBIN The Vice-President of De Pauw University, Who Preached Twice On Sabbath. Dr. II. A. Gobin, vice-president of De Pauw university, spent Sunday in this city, preaching twice at the Fifth Street Methodist Episcopal church, he being the guest of Rev. J. P. Chamness, the pastor. Dr. Gobin is always well received, and particularly so here, where he is well known and the worth of his sterling Christian character appreciated. After the sermon and at the suggestion of Rev. Chamness, Dr. Gobin took occasion to say a word about the work at De Pauw. He reminded the church that De Pauw university is part of the wealth of the Methodist church and urged them that, though they felt a certain allegiance due the excellent home college, Earlham, they should be liberal in the financial support of the noble bulwark of Methodism erected by the fathers so many years ago at Greencastle. WINTER ,TOMATO FARMS DOWN IN PENNSYLVANIA Fine Crops of Fruit Raised Under Glass. (Emaus (Pa) Special in Philadelphia Record.) Pennsylvania is fast gaining a rep utation as one of the leading com petitors of the growers of midwinter tropical luxuries as a tomato-raising State in the winter, for example. This quiet Moravian village ot Emaus, to cite a case in point, did not dream two years ago that it could produce anything else than sewer pipes, pig iron and silk except, of course, "in the good old summer time." One day, however, there came to town a young man who bought large tracts of land, and before the villagers realized the fact he and his partner had built "a farm of glass" at the village threshold, and given to the oldest Moravian village in the Union another.paying industry. The hothoues in question are under the management of Daniel B. Kronin-o-er, and neither Bermuda nor southern California can surpass his winter tomatoes, nor does the sun of summer paint big, luscious "tornats" with riper redness. Kroninger simpty knows tomatoes, , as he does carnations, and they simply obey when he bids them grow. Many have wondered, no doubt, why this "tomato farm" was situated in this town and not in close proximity to one of the large metropolitan cities. The soil, in Lehigh county is, it appears, peculiarly adapted to tomato farming better than that of any other locality thus far subjected to experiment. The average temperature for this tomato farming under glass is from S2 to 02 degrees Fahrenheit by day, though at night it may be permitted to fair 10 degrees. The winters are cold at Emans and the winds are bitter and fierce, and Mr. Kroninger must keep close watch over his plants on winter nights, lest they freeze. He uses from three to four tons of coal per week, or about 123 tons during the entire hothouse season. The interior of the house is divided into large parallel beds, separated hy long, narrow alleys. In one of the houses the beds are on platforms three feet from the surface; in the other they are on the ground, to obtain the more direct rays of the sun. Since they were planted, last August, the vines have attained a height of nearly six feet, and by summer they will have attaitied to twenty-five feet. Once a week all the side shoots are taken off and only the center top stems are left growing, so as to obtain all the blossoms and fruit at the ton. So erect are the stocky plants and so full the foliage, that but for the fruit, which hangs in large clusters, a visitor might think himself in a nursery of trees and not in a tomato garden. When a tomato buneh is ripe and the tomatoes are plucked all the stems are cut off up to the next

bunch, so that the entire vitality of the vine goes to the growing bunch. This feyVtem is- repeat ediejreJ time a bunch Js picked eff.Each vineris load; ed with fruit of all sizes and-eaeh averages a bunch of from four to eight large solid tomatoes a week. The Record correspondent happened to see a rag tied around a tomato stem and curiously asked Mr. Kroninger what that rag was doing there. "Why," said he, "that stem was entirely broken off and my assistant and I set the fracture just as a surgeon would set a fracture of a bone. Do you notice that nice ripe tomato above the rag? That tomato was a tiny green one when we set the fracture, and now it is perfect fruit, ready to be picked in the morning; and that cluster above was then nothing but flowers, which proves that our surgery was successful." The hot-houses contain more than 2,000 of the most vigorous tomato plants; so the yield is large. By the last week in October the winter tomato grower makes his first

shipments, and since Nov. 15 he has been able to ship daily from 100 to 175 pounds, the bulk of them to Philadelphia, though occasional shipments go to Boston, New York, and Washington. All these winter tomatoes are picked early in the morning, when they are in their prime, for later in the day, when the temperature is higher, the fruit is softer and more apt to spoil. Only the Lorillard variety is grown under the glass, for this is the most, successful forcing tomato, of medium size and more popular than very larq;e sized ones, since this precious winter fruit is sold by weight. The best selling tomatoes are those that average three or four to the pound. After the holidays, when the California crop is exhausted, prices for first grade Pennsylvania tomatoes range from 30 to 40 cents a pound. The grower has 1,500 young tomato plant ready for an emergency, so that if any of his older plants should suddenly die he would replant with the young ones, which would be prolific by April, and bear a continuous crop till the outdoor fruit should be plenty. PEACH CROP. Prospects Good for Lots of the Luscious Fruit. "LTp to this time the prospects for an abundant peach crop this year is the finest I ever saw," said Michael J. Bauer, who conducts a fruit farm near Bridgeport, Ind., on the Ohio river, twelve miles below New Albany,and had one of the largest peach orchards in Indiana. He is a successful peach grower, and has closely observed the prosepcts for a crop in Southern Indiana. The prospects for an abundant yield of fruit of all kinds is especially fine this season, and, barring a late freeze, the crop will be immense. An adundant yield of strawberries is expected in the berry growing district around New Albany, which is one of the most extensive strawberry producing districts in the world. A large, new acreage planted last spring Avill come into bearing this year, which will largely increase the shipments from New Albany. The strawberry shipments from New Albany last 3ear, when there was about a two-thirds crop, aggregated 70,400 crates of six gallons each, or about 100 car loads. The amount received by the growers is estimated at $50,000. With a good season this year it is believed that the shipments will reach 120,000 crates. HE LETS THE OTHER FELLOW ; WORRY. It is well known that many men in public life worry themselves almost sick over the distribution of "plum's' to office-seekers. Senator Beveridge, author of The Russian Advance, lets the other men do the worrying, and has a method which is illustrated by this anecdote. He was receiving delegations who were booming various men for postmaster in their respective towns. Finally, a delegation arrived from a district where the fight for the postmastership was very hot. The senator listened intently to the leader's remarks and replied: "I am 'going to decide "this matter your way." The man Avas delighted. "Yes," continued Senator Beveridge, "I am going to submit the case to you and let you decide it." Whereupon he recited one set of facts after another' each time getting the leader's crestfallen confirmation of the statements made. Finally, having calmly made out his case, the senator said, "Now, what is your decision?" "Oh. hang it all," said the man "if you're going to put it that way T suppose I'll have to say the other fellow ought to have the office." "Very well," said the senator, "I shall, as I said, decide the case your way." And the delegation, all except the leader, went off laughing. .

HIS FIRST APPEARANCE IN PUBLIC. .Will Carleton, the author of Songs of Two Centuries, when a boy took a long journey from his home to the nearest county town, in order to bear Cassius M. Clay, the Kentuckian, make . a speech. On reaching the "Fair Grounds," where Clay was. to speak, he found such a crowd assembled that he could not see anything of the eloquent southerner. At last, by crawling between people's feet, and taking other boy-methods of making progress, he gained a friendly tree not far from the stand, and climbed up among its screening branches. All went well until the speaker, to illustrate the ignorance of some of his political opponents, exclaimed with an emphatic gesture: "They don't know any more about it than that boy there in the tree!" A thouand eyes were at once levelled upon the bashful urchin who had so suddenly been made an object-lesson. "The sensation," said Mr. Carleton, in telling the story, ."was very much as if some ice-water were being poured down my back. I tried to conceal myself among the branches, but that would not work; and I was not long in 'shinning down' and making myself scarce. At home, I had not sympathy; they told me I should have stayed and fought it out; not knowing that raj sensitiveness at that time was postivelyy abnormal. My father called me Zaccheus for a year after."
