Etb)!hd for the Untifle te4yefthe DItMMiofFlMU Every farmer knowj that plants are subject to as many diseases as man. Heretofore there has been no scientific Investigation of such dieeases. In the last Issue of the Pilgrim there is a description of the plant hospital es tablished rt Washington for the study of the diseases of plants and their cure. Close by the department of agricul ture In Washington is one of the most curloua of government Institutions a b capital for plants. Oddly enough, the regetaLle patients accommodated there are treated not for the purpose cf curing them .but, primarily, at all events, to make tnera tick. Thy are admitted in good health, inoculated with various complaint, and watched daring the progress of their maladies with careful attention. The mortality, as might be imaginc-d. is large, but first-rate nursing is provided, and some cf the unfortunates are finally brought through with the help of pow erful remedies. The hospital is Rrranged In a man ner conventional enough, the patients being assembled In wards, so that those afSicted with each kind of mal ady may be kept together. It Is of Im portance that a plant shall not be troubled with more than one disease at a time, lest the symptoms confuse the attending physicians and Interfere w'th the accuracy of scientific obser vation One ward, for example, is devoted exclusively to carnations that are suf fering from a complaint, which, for some time past, has caused large mon ey loss to Sower-growers In many parts of the country. Something like on hundred millions of "pinks" are sold annually in the United States, representing nearly four millions of dollars, and immense capital has been !nretd In the business cf producing tfcem. Hence, the Importance of In vestigating the mischief in Question, which has been found to be due to a kind cf fungus that gets into the stem cf the plant and cuts off the water apply. The item Is a sort of pipe, through which water is carried up ward to the leaves, and the fungus, acting as a cork, stops the tube, so that pretty oon the victim dies. To find out what the matter was. the physicians in charge of the hospital put a couple of hundred healthy car nation plants into beds, and then pro ceeded to inoculate them with germs obtained from sick specimens fur nifhed by greenLoute men. Day af ter day they went from bed to bed. and watched the symptoms develop by the patients. The appearance of the dis ease In all its stages proved unmis takably that they had caught the guil ty microbe; but in th!s instance it was decided that there was no en re for the trouble, the only thing to do being to pall up the plants and destroy them, tons discouraging infection. Fresh vegetables the year round are considered a matter of course now adays, and this remark applits par ticularly to the tomato, which is pro duced on an immense scale in northern greenhouses for winter use. Fortunes have been made by raising tomatoes ender glass during the cold season, but the Industry has suffered much of late from a mysterious malady, the plants withering and dying jut at the time when they ought to be yielding a prcStable crop. A sol at ion of this problem has been reached through observation of cases In a tomato ward at the plant hospital. iL complaint being diagnosed as a sort of chronic Indigestion. It is caused by exceive cutting back of the plant a practice followed by greenhouse men for the making them bear larger fruit. You see. in a growing tomato vine 93 per i cent of tee food required by the buds I is stored in the stem and leaves, and j if you cut them off recklessly, you take away Just so much of the needed nonrihmnt. The buds that are left suffer from starvation, and the plant never recovers. j This. then, is what is makinr so i EBfa lrom for toraito-growers. The ceils of the plant thus affected lose the power to convert their starch Into scgir. in which shape only is it avail able for building tisane, and thus a condition of hopeless dyspepsia sets In. This brings about the secretion of a peculiar poJson. one drop of which lrjected into a healthy tomato vine with a hypodermic syringe will repro da'e the complaint. The value of such knowledge to growers Is obvious. Inasmuch as they wl!J perceive the necessity of adopt-" leg different methods In tomato cul- 1 ture. They will be on their guard against cutting back the plants too Dr. Sbfiozker's Prirala Hospita If yon are going to a Hospital for treatment. It will pay you to consult Dr. Shoemaker.

I - - 1 . j. m f means in almost any Kina oi The variesated leaves of foil- T5ie7m-Tge""j4ants, so much admired,' are due to this very omplaint, which, when it attacks tobacco, is called the "calico disease." Another " branch of horticulture which has suffered much of late by reason of disease, is the violet-growing Industry. Seventy-five millions of vio lets, valued at seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, are sold annually in this country, and the appearance of a complaint called "spot" has caused widespread alarm among nurserymen. It takes the form of an epidemic, and has done so much damage as actually to threaten the destruction of the busi ness. Of course it Is due to a fungus nearly all plant troubles are attri butable to parasitic fungi but the dif ficulty, after Identifying the germ, has been to find a way to kill Jt. The gov ernment plant physicians are study ing that question now; In a case of this sort the method or dinarily adopted is to take a little dis tilled water and soak in it a piece of a leaf that has been attacked by the fungus. Presently the water becomes filled with germs of the disease, and a drop of It is applied to some sterilized gelatine. The germs feed on the gela tine and rapidly multiply, until pretty soon there are millions of them, and, in order to inoculate a healthy plant with the complaint, it is merely neces sary to take a bit of the Infected gela tine on the point of a needle and touch a well leaf with it. Presently the malady begins to develop, and its course may be watched from begin ning to end. The last step is to find out by experiment what kills the mi crobes quickest, whether arsenic or what not, and then the physicians are in a position to prescribe. There seem to be about fifty thou sand different specle3 of fungi that at tack plants, and each of them produces its own peculiar disease. One of them, which has caused a great deal of trou ble during the last few years, gets into the potato and grows by extending in numerable little branches in every di rection through the substance of the unlucky vegetable. As a result, the starch cells are converted into fungus cells, and a condition supervenes that Is popularly known as "rot." It was this potato rot that brought about the last famine in Ireland. Sulphate of copper destroys the germs, and this is the remedy invariably prescribed by Uncle Sam's plant doctors when a grower complains of the mischief. Gardeners in various parts of the country have been complaining of a hollyhock malady, which is due to a fungus. The remedy prescribed for this is a copper mixture. For a pe culiar "root rot" o? the carnation a sure cure Is obtained merely by add ing lime to the soil; the microbe ac countable for the trouble cannot grow in earth that has lime in it, and so that problem is settled. Often the cures of plant diseases are surprisingly simple, but a lot of study may be re quired to find them out. On the sea Islands along the coast of the Carolinas grows a wonderful cotton, which brings five or six times the price of ordinary cotton, its staple being strong and beautiful and of great length. Its cultivation is managed on scientific principles, no plant being selected for seed-bearing that doe3 not come up to a certain standard, while even the diameter of the fiber must be Just so, as determined by the micros cope of the farmer. Recently, how ever, the industry has been threatened with destruction by p disease appalling in its character, plifats that are well and thriving in the morning being prostrate and practically dead two hours later. Here, as in the stem trou ble of the carnation, the mischief is attributable to a fungus that corks up the water-pipe. Study of the subject by the government physicians has shown that the microbe of the com plaint comes from cow-peas, which the farmers have been accustomed to raise between cotton crops, plowing them under for fertilizing purposes. One easily sees how vastly impor tant to the agricultural future of the country is this experimental work of the government. The doctors were called upon not long ago to investigate a destructive pear blight which was doing an immense deal of damage, and for the purpose they organized an out door surgical ward. That is to say, they planted a number of little pear treej close by the plant hospital, and inoculated them with the germs of the disease. Having watched the malady from the beginning to the end of its development, they decided that the on,y remedy was amputation of the a"octed Parts. The fungus spores that caus Jt. live over the winter in the branches already attacked, and begin "ork aain in the spring. Thus the trout,le can e absolutely done away with by soing through the orchard in wlEter anl cutting off every blackened branch and twig. It is simple enough 'ben understood, but lack of this bit of knowledge has cost pear-growers great anxiety and loss. In connection with the plant hospi tal, the department of agriculture em ploys a number of out-door physicians, who travel about the country, and ap ply in a practical way the methods of cure already learned. They visit in valid orchards, diagnose the cause of trouble, and prescribe accordingly. As soon'as a discovery has been made, it Is put to use for the benefit of the growers, who are taught what reme dies to employ and exactly how to utilize them. Such, in fact, is the most important part of the work of the sec tion of plant pathology, which is a division of the bureau of plant indus tries in the great executive department at Washington which looks out for the interests of the agriculturists of the country. Best Paper in ths State The Nebraska Independent is un questionably the best edited paper In the state. It has more original matter, can ferret out and expose more frauds and espouse the people's cause abler than any publication we ever saw. We wish every commoner In the United States would subscribe for it and read. It couldn't do them any harm, and might do them a world of good. Rushville Standard. SEVERAL MIRACULOUS CURES Have Already Been. Effected by the British Doctors In the Sheldoa Block Corner of 11th and N Streets. They are Giving Their Services Free for Three Months to all InTalids Who Call Before June 1 A staff of eminent physicians and surgeons from the British Medical In stitute, at the urgent solicitation of a large number of patients under their care in this country, have established a permanent branch of the institute in Lincoln, Neb., at the corner of 11th and N streets In the Sheldon block. These eminent gentlemen have de cided to give their services entirely free for three months (medicines ex cepted) to all invalids who call upon them for treatment between now and June 1. These services will not only consist of consultation, examination and advice, but also of all minor sur gical operations. The object in pursuing this course is to become rapidly and permanently acquainted with the sick and afflicted, and under no condition will any charge be made for any services ren dered for three months, to all who call before June 1. The doctors treat all kinds of, dis ease and deformities, and guarantee a cure in every case they undertake. At the first interview a thorough examin ation is made, and, if incurable, you are frankly and kindly told so; also advised against spending your money for useless treatment. Mala and female weakness, catarrh and catarrhal deafness, a'so rupture, goitre, cancer, all skin diseases and all diseases of the rectum are positively cured by their treatment. The chief Consulting Surgeon of the Institute is in personal charge. Office hours, from 9 a. m. till 8 p. m. No Sunday hours. SPECIAL NOTICE If you cannot call, send stamp for question blank for home treatment. v GET JOHN WORK Hundreds of Thousands Thrown Oat of Work by Trusts This Sort of Pros perity Makes us Poor Not so many months ago in Chicago, a call was received at one of the uni versity settlements for a nurse to help a poor mother bury her tiny babe. When the travesty of a funeral had returned from depositing the little re mains in the potter's field, the nurse turned to the mother and said, "If there is anything more that I can do for you, please ask it." And the poor woman, looking up into the nurse's face with tears in her eyes, cried, "Get John work! He has had no work for seven months. Had he had work the child would not be dead!" Aye, friends! 'Get John work!" That is a cry which will soon again be abroad in this land. That is a cry which if not answered will send rivers of blood running through our streets. The memorable riots in New York of 1863 emptied the refuges of beggary, drunkenness, lewdness and crime of their occupants, and those who beheld that outpouring tell us they will never forget the amazement and alarm of .the hour. Such men and women had never before been seen on the great and crowded thoroughfares, but they had long been an element of the municipal life, and they are there still. Only last summer I was talking to an old gentleman who, in 1859, had married a lady possessed of a number of slaves. He told me that believing slavery to be doomed, he advised his wife to sell the slaves and to invest the money in some other way. His wife's relatives, hearing of it, came to him and said, "Are you crazy? Do you not know that slavery has always existed, and that it always will con tinue to ex'st?" And so he allowed himself to be overpersuaded, and his wife kept the slaves. And yet within four years every chattel slave in the United States was free. It was about the same time that the poet Lowell was penning the following lines, which are as applicable today as they were fifty years ago: "Out of the land of bondage 'tis de creed our slaves shall go, And signs to us are offered, as erst to Pharaoh ; If we are blind, their exodus, like Israel's of yore, Through a Red Sea is doomed to be, whose surges are of gore. " 'Tis ours to save our brethren, with peace and love to win Their darkened, hearts from error, ere they harden it to sin; But if before his duty man with list less spirit stands, Ere long the Great Avenger takes the work from out his hand3." Men out of work! Men, women and children starving! Men, women and children finding it harder and harder to earn a living! Yet the same statisticians tell us that never before were the United States so rich as they are now; never before were the banks of the world so filled with money seeking investment. Truly, in the midst of abundance we are in poverty. Well may we say with the poet Drydenc "And plenty makes us poor." James T. Van Rensselaer, in Chal lenge. Your Summer Outing.

M'XIRLEY -IN STORY Some Interesting Incidents of Her Career. g$r EOMAtfOE Iff HEE MABBIEB LIFE. Bow the Pair CaiUer of the Sutton Bank at Canton Met Her Hnaband. . Teaching- Illustration of the Preat- dent's Demotion Mr. McKlnley'a Lots of Children. Among the Incidents In the life of Mrs. McKinley the following are of timely Interest: Mrs. McKinley received the best edu cational advantages that not only Can ton, but the entire country, could offer. After the early years of her school life had been passed In Canton, under the supervision of her mother, Ida Saxton attended a seminary in. Cleveland and later spent three years at the Brook Ball seminary of Media, Pa. After graduating Miss Ida Saxton, with her sister, Mary B., now Mrs. Barber, and a goodly company of friends, made a long and Interesting visit to Europe, says The Midland Monthly. The people of Canton who recall the home coming of Mr. Saxton's daughters all agree that Ida was a young woman of singular beauty of form and feature, bright and winsome, though at times a little capricious in her ways, an embodiment of healthy, happy American girlhood, fully appre ciating the advantages she had receiv ed, conscious of the duties as well as the pleasures of her position In truth, a dazzling and fascinating personality. She must have been a young woman of force of character as well as of unusual beauty, because no one In Canton who knew her at that time but can now re call some incident Illustrating her In dependence of thought as well as her bright and attractive manner. One favored lifelong friend of both the Saxton and McKinley families said that after his daughter's return from Europe Mr. Saxton seemed to have a dread that she would soon marry and leave him and that he planned all sorts of maneuvers to keep admirers at a distanced He said frankly that he wished she would prefer to remain sin gle and that he did not intend to launch her into society in order to hasten her marriage. Although a man of large means, Mr. Saxton believed in making women independent of the changes of fortune; therefore his daughter was taught the banking busi ness, and soon her finely shaped head, like a framed picture, appeared at the cashier's window of her father's bank. Mr. Saxton believed that he had fig uratively as well as liberally shut out beyond the cagelike Window of the bank all Intruders who wished to mar ry his daughter. Uowever, even a busi ness man - should have known that there is a mischievous elf. who laughs at grated windows as well as lock smiths and can fly through them Just as well as he can disport himself in marble palaces and rove among stately I groves of old time forests the little conqueror of the conqueror, the one who aims his arrows through a pair of bright eyes and reaches the heart. Mr. Saxton thought he had locked out Cu pid, but he only contrived to more cer tainly shut him in. It is the old, sweet story, and if to the life romance of Major and Mrs. McKinley there was added a little early opposition, the necessity for some few innocent ma neuvers to secure a coveted Interview, surely the world is more interested in the story, for although "all the world loves a lover" it loves best one who needs a stout heart to win his "faire ladye." And as it has been said, the subject of this sketch, then Ida Sax ton, cashier of the Canton bank, was at that time "wondrous fair." Mr. Saxton, after a time, gracefully yielded to the fates and consented to the union of his daughter Ida with the brave and favored Major McKinley. They were married In the Presbyterian church, which had been almost entire ly donated by the bride's grandmother. The pastor. Dr. Buckingham, and Dr. Endsley of the Methodist Episcopal church together performed the cere mony. All Canton took an interest in the wedding, and the wedding festivi ties that followed long remained prom inent In the social annals of the hand some little city. In her home life the greatest diver sion of the president's wife has been found In fancy work, and particularly In the crocheting of dainty little slip pers, which she has given away liter ally by thousands, says Waldon Faw cett in The Delineator for June. Mrs. McKinley has estimated that she has knitted fully 4,000 pairs of these little foot warmers. Numbers have been given to personal friends, and quite a few have been donated to charity ba zaars and church fairs. Mrs. McKln ley's favorite colors, as exemplified in the footgear which is the product of her dexterity, are blue, pink and gray, and each slipper is ornamented with bows of ribbon to match. The maid sewed In the soles as rapidly as her mistress completed the uppers. Whenever little folk have been among the guests at the White House they have been literally appropriated for the time being by Mrs. McKinley. It Is generally known that the presi dent and Mrs. McKinley desired to adopt their niece. Miss Grace, who re cently graduated from Mount Holyoke and became a teacher, but few per sons are aware that soon after she first came to Washington, nearly a score of years ago, Mrs. McKinley was seized with the strongest desire to adopt the bright little daughter of the "woman who acted as her seamstress and nurse. The fond mother, however, although he was a widow and had several othei children, refused to surrender the Uttl one, and It may be noted, too. that thli old lady says today that she baa never regretted her declination. Mrs. McKinley has never failed to meet her husband In a charming mora Ing gown. On one occasion when the produced a new one he remarked: "That cream color la wonderfully be coming to you. He even knows cream color from yellow. - "Are you sure you like ltr she said. "My dear, I never saw you look bet ter in anything except that gown that you wore to the Presbyterian church supper the year before we were mar tied." Then they Joked for a half hour In reminiscent vein about that Presbyte rian church supper, says the Ban Fran cisco Call. It seems that she. Miss Saxton then, had assisted at the Ice cream tables, and the major had ob jected to her working so hard. "I will wait on the tables," he said, taking two trays out of her hands. And of course he spilled them both, and the ice cream was pink, and It made long pink stains down the front of Miss Saxton's cream colored gown. "You were very charming about it, William. I remember admiring you because you did not try to replace the gown as an American whom I met abroad did oh a like occasion. "It has never been replaced until now, my dear. This substitute Is a success. I trust you will send the bill to me, as I ruined the original. "As for the wearer I think you are looking a trifle younger this morning than you did at the Ice cream festival, but otherwise I see no difference." By this time the allotted half hour was up. and the president retired to his office for a stretch of some three hours' hard work. One spring, when Mrs. McKinley was not so well, a famous singer visited the White House, says the New York Jour nal. She sang many songs. Finally she began: Believe me, if all those endearing young charms Mrs. McKinley's eyes filled with tears. The president went and sat beside her and took her little frail hand in his. The heart that baa truly lored new forreta. But aa truly loves on to the close Aa the sunflower turns on her god when ha eats The same look that she fare when ha rose. When the singer's voice died away, she found that the little company of friends had slipped away, one by one, and left the president and the wife of his youth alone. HE CAPTURED THE SULTAN Turkey's Ruler Decorate Son of Captain Chester of the Kentucky The sultan of Turkey has just deco rated a young New York lawyer. Clar ence Chester, son of Captain Colby N. Chester of the navy, as a mark of his esteem for Captain Carter, who could not accept a foreign decoration without the consent of congress, for which be did not wish to ask, says the New York Sun. The decoration conferred Is the order of the Osmanie, and the story of how It came about that it was bestow ed upon this young American Is an in teresting one. When Captain Chester took com mand of the new first class battleship Kentucky last fall to take her to Ma nila, his term of sea service had nearly expired. He was to leave the ship in the orient and come home by ordinary travel, and -the navy department per mitted him to take his son with him on the trip. According to the Kentucky's schedule, her last Mediterranean stop before making Tort Said was to be Na ples. Everywhere she went she was received with the greatest attention, as she was the first of the new American battleships to go to the Mediterranean. At Naples orders were received for the Kentucky to go to Smyrna to remain for several days. When she reached that port, a Turk ish admiral and a commodore came aboard her to pay an official call. They were greatly Interested in her and went from the ship directly to the governor's residence, whence a cable dispatch was sent to the sultan. Shortly after the cable communication sent to the sultan by his Smyrna officers a royal invita tion came by cable bidding Captain Chester and his suit to Constantinople to dine with the sultan. Captain Ches ter accepted the courtesy, taking to the capital with him his son Clarence and his staff. The sultan sent almost as soon as they reached the capital to inquire If he could decorate Captain Chester, and when it was explained to him that the captain could not accept a decoration the sultan sent again to know If he could decorate the captain's son. The young man was naturally pleased to be the recipient of the tangible evidence of the sultan's desire to compliment the American people and said that he would like to have the decoration. That was the last he heard of It until the re ceipt the other day of a package con taining the decoration from the Turk ish minister at Washington. Colored People Theater In Chtcaaro. A theater for colored people exclu sively at which only colored talent will appear Is likely to be opened in Chica go soon. Negotiations for the lease of a theater building are under way. and a colored stock company Is proposed to furnish the attractions for the house, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Several Influential colored men are backing the scheme, and one of them stands ready to Invest $20,000 In the effort to make It a success. TTlrelea Telegraphy oa a Trala.
