ENGLAND MUST BORROW AGAIN View financiers Take of the Continued righting In South Africa. New York, Sept. 20. In financial circles tlio opinion is growing that thoro will havo to bo further borrow ing by tho Dritish government as thu result of tho continued flghting-iii South Africa, says tlio London corres pondent of tho Tribune. Tho only relief to tho drain upon the resources of the country is the money which is expected to lie realized by the sale of farms belonging to those irreconcil able burghers who have left their wives and children to tho care o Lord Kitchener. Commenting upon thu military situation thu correspond ent says ; "Tlio newspiiiiers aro clamoring for an energetic prosecution of the strug gle, and aro pleased to bu able to print Lord kitchener's announcement of tlio capture of Koch's brigade com iiiando mid I.orando'H commando.

"1 lie apparently inoxliauniblu sup ply of ammunition which tho Doers imvo at their command is tlio subject of considerable talk. A serious state of things prevails in Capo Colony, from tho Orange river to tlio sea. It is a condition of open or incipient re bellion. "A letter from an Express corres pondent at CajH) Town tells of pillag ing commandoes wandering frco from serious interference, of farms deserted by their rebel proprietor, of armored trains that have been forced to patrol tho lines as far south an Worcester, and of tho strengthening of tho do fences of Capo Town itself. For tho first time it is now known in this country that Schcoperii succeeded in capturing tho loyal delegates on their return to their homes in Omit scliooru from welcoming tho Duke of Cornwall at Capo town. "Lord Ritchonor s messago clears up tho mystery its to the location of the waterworks mentioned in recent dispatches, reporting the capturo of two guns by tho Boors. It was gen erally understood that tho Pretoria waterworks was reforred to, hut it is now clear that it was the Bloomfontoin waterworks from which the captured guns and escort started.

Prisoner Wat Unconcerned Court Order the Flea lo He Recorded "Not Guilty" Case May lie Concluded In Two Day The Physicians Oave Important Test1 mony. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept, 24. Leon V. Czolgosz was plaeod on trial yesterday churgod with tlio murder of President William McKlnloy. Ho ontored a plea or guilty, which wan subsequently changed to "not guilty," by direction of tlio court. All tho events of the day Indicated Unit tlio trlul will bo short. Cotirt convened at 10 o'clock mid within two hours eight Jurors had been secured. Technicalities were not raised by tlio examining counsel, but It wu8 significant that ovory man who said ho had formed an opinion on the cuso was excused by the District At torney. TIiobo who acknowledged they had formed an opinion or stated they wero prejudiced, but admitted thoir opinion could bo chungod by evi dence wero accepted by both sldcH. JuHtico Truman C. White, ono of tho oldest nnd most experienced of tho Buprcmo Court Judges, was on tho bench. Immediately after tho opening ot tho court, nnd after tho prisoner had pleaded. Justlco Lorn L. Lewis, senior counsel for tho defend ant, announced that, together with his colleagues, ox-JuBtlco Itobcrt C. Titus and Carlton 13. Ladd, thoy wero ready to act In behalf of tho prisoner. "I thought It best," ho said, "for my colleagues and myself, that I should say something regarding our prjsenco hero as attorneys for tho defondant. At tho tlmo my name was suggested 1 was out of tho city, and know nothing of what was transpiring hero with rcferenco to tho aoloctlon of counsel for tho defendant. When tho circum stances of my aoloctlon woro told to mo, I was extremely roluctant to ac copt. lint tho duty has been Imposed, and I considered It my duty, In tho light of all tho circumstances, to do fond this man. I aBk that no evidence lio nrcacntcd here that the court will not permit tho acceptance of any evl donco unless It would bo accepted at tho trial of tho most meager criminal In tho land." "I am familiar with theso circum stances," sold Justice White, In reply, "and I wlBh to say, I will glvo you every assuranco that tho prisoner will havo a fair and Impartial trial. Dur ing tho progress of tho trial ho will rocelvo such treatment aa tho law de mands In any criminal case." Tho work of securing the Jurors was then undertaken, with a celorlty that was amazing. Before tho day was over tho entire panel had been sworn, tho Jurors had listened to a description of tho Tomplo of Music, whero tho crime occurred; had seen photographs of thn Intorlor of tho structure, and hnd been told by thrco surgeons what had caused the death of tbo President, and tho offoct of tbo assassin's shot on tho various organs of tho body, Thoy had also learned why tho ratal bullet had not been located. Tho probable duration of tho trial, it is bellevod, can bo placed at two full days. Judgo Titus, for tho do renEe, was non-conimlttnl, however, nnd merely said: "That depends upon the turn things take." It is not prob ablo that any defense will he put In, owlngio tho character or tho prisoner and his rofusal to help his attorneys In any way to procuro evidence which thoy could uso In his favor. The Idea of an nttompt to enter tho question ot his sanity Is not thought of, In view of tho roports of tho two allonlsts who havo recently examined him. Murder in the First Degre:. Buffalo, Sopt. 25. Leon F. Czol gosz, alias Fred Nicman, was found guilty of murder in tho first de gree by a jury in part III. of tho supremo court, in having on tlio Gth of Scptcmlicr, shot President Will iam MoKinloy, tho wounds inflicted afterwards resulting in tho death of tho president. Tho wheols of justice moved swift ly. Tlio trial of tlio assassin consumed eight hours and 20 minutes, and covered a poriod of only two days. Practically all of this time was occu pied by tho prosecution in presenting a caso so clear, so conclusive, that even had tlio prisoner ontored tho plea of insanity it is doubtful if tho jury would havo rendered a verdict differ cut from tho ono rendered today. Tho announcement this afternoon by the attorneys of Czolgos?. that the eminent alienists summoned by the JSrio county bar association and by tho district attorney to oxamino Czolgosz nnd to- determine his exact mental condition bad d del a red him to bo porfectly sano destroyed tho only vestigo of a defense that the at torneys could havo put togothor.

WOR8E FATE THAN DREYFU8. General Hernandez of Venezuela, Is Being Tortured In Confinement. Now York, Sopt. 25. According to tho story told horo by a Vonezulcan who reached Now York a fow days ago, General Jono Manuel Ilenrnandez, tho head of tho Conscrvatlvo party In Venezuola, and who Is a political pris oner, Is undergoing troatmont oven worse than that of Dreyfus on Dovll's Island. His political and military Htrength was recently shown, says tho Trlbuno, In tho organization of a revo lutionary movement on tho frontier, under tho leadership of General Gar bratio. This uprising which President Castro called a Colombian invasion, was, In reality a Ilenrnandez move ment, It Ik said. "Immediately following this," said ono of Hernandez's former fellow prisoners now hero, "began the sys tematic attacks on General Hernandez, which his friends fear will end tho veteran's career. Tho first move was to transfer him to tho darkest dun geon In tho foul-smolllng old fort. A Iiuku ball was fastened to his ankle. He Is not permitted to seo anyone, nor is no permitted to communicate with the outside world. Ho Is oven denied the usual excrclso about tho prison yard. His keepers take a fiendish de light in throwing llvo rats, spiders and other vermin Into his dungeon, particu larly when ho sleeps. Tho rations al lowed General Ilenrnandez aro only half those required by a man of his physical condition." GHA8TLY 8CENE8 AT WRECK. Persons Injured In Hungarian Collision Were Burned Alive. Bucharest, Sept. 25. The collision yesterday at I'alota, between tlio Vi enna express and the petroleum trains. appears in the litdit of latest events, to have been a most tcrriblo affair. In a few seconds tlio whole arena of tho collision became a huge luko of burn mg petroleum. Trees and every thing inflammable within an area of a quarter of a mile were destroyed. There wero somo glmstily scenes A girl was burned to death ill sight of both her parents, who escaped, M. Dinu. a Itoumanian millionaire, got his foot jammed in the wreckage miu begged ono of tlio train guards to sever tho foot with an ax, promts ing him a largo reward if lie would do so. Before tlio guard could help him ho sank into tlio names and was burned to death. Schwartz, tho con ductor, who was similarly jammed, clung so desperately to the man who tried to cxtricato him that his would- be rescuer had to Ijo dragged away just as Schwartz perished in tho names, Most of tho 22 who were killed were burned to death.

Tho concensus of opinon is that tho chief importance of the re cent Boer successes is in tho encour agement they will afford to tho burghers nnd their effect upon tho Capo Colony loyalists. Tho paper re gards tho new activity and daring of tlio Doers as a crushing reply to Lord Kitchener's latest proclamation." Ten Killed In Collision. Warren. Mass., Sept. 25.

By at taching a weight of some kind to the end of the rope to keep It taut, there will be no trouble caused by this rope getting in the way. for when the horse moves toward the manger the weight will carry the rope down. The weight should not be heavy enough to Incon venience the animal when he Is lying down at the full length of the rope. Care of Winter Applet Apples marketed during tho winter always bring a much higher price than when offered for sale Just after har vest Of course. It Is well understood that It Is Impossible to keep apples through the winter for the high prlees of early spring unless they are kept In cold storage, but with an ordinary storehouse, or a good cellar. It Is pos sible to keep the fruit several mouths longer by handling It properly. It should be carefully picked from the tree, and be free from Imperfections or bruises. In putting It Into the barrels, the barrels should be laid partially on one side so that the fruit may be turned Into It from n small basket and roll to the bottom rather than fall. In this way there Is little chance of the npples becoming bruised. Great care should be taken to see that the fruit Is so pack ed that there will be little or no space between the specimens, and they should bo packed Into the barrel as firmly as possible without enough pressure to bruise them. After the barrel Is filled. It should be carefully hooped, and tho head put In so that It will hold the top layer firm, but not with much pressure. Apples packed In this way can be kept until midwinter easily If stored In a building where they will not freeze, and where the air Is reasonably dry. Indl anapolls News. F 1 in n1 - Fwlnarlnr Troucb. I have a feed trough which I made myself out of a piece of galvanized Iron, writes n correspondent of Poultry Keeper. It Is three and one-half feet long. To make It. get two pieces of wood nnd shnpe them to fit the Inside of tho trough for the ends as shown In the diagram. Nail well with lath nails, If you want one for water, make it shorter, and before putting the end pieces on paint a piece of cloth and place between the end pieces and the trough. Then after you have your end pieces on. get a piece of lath Just long enough to fit between the ends nnd nail It lengthwise Just above the level of tho 8W1N01.NO TnoUQII. trough. This will keep the chickens out of the water, Put two eyes on the top of the end pieces to hang It by. Drlvo stakes In the ground Just far enough apart to let tbo trough swing. Put pins In the top of the stakes to tit tho eyes on the end pieces of tho trough. Tho top of tho trough should be about six Inches nbovo the ground. Tou can use your Judgment about painting It. If yoit do, put some water In It and lot It stand about a day before allowing tho chickens access to It. Fall Planting. With nearly all fruit trees, except peaches, which must bo planted In tho spring, there Is to bo said In favor of fall planting, that the soil cau bo put In better condition nt less expense of tlmo nnd labor than In the spring. Tho planter generally has more time to de vote to tho work In the fall, nnd henco ean do It much better. Then, too. tho rcea from the nursery nre generally In better condition than after they havo passed through a winter. The nursery men also have fewer orders In the fall, nnd enn give more care to tilling orders nt this season, and generally furnish better stock. Kven with the more ten der sorts It Is possible to give them needed protection during the first win ter by throwing a furrow toward the trees on either side, unless there Is a large area to be planted nnd other work seriously Interferes, everything Is In fa vor of fall planting. HrenVltiK Hry tlronncl. In our hnste to break fallow land for wheat wo ofte.i break the fields when the dry weather has so hardened them thnt the plow throws the surface Into a muss of clods, with little or no soil to act as a seed bed. While early break ing for wheat Is very Important, tho greatly Increased labor of breaking dry land and preparing It for planting should have considerable weight In de termining whether or not tho ground should be plowed when dry. When broken ground consists of nothing but large clodi, It Is not fallow land. It will not hold moisture until the clods arc mashed Into fine soil. As a rule, the breaking of wheat ground should be delnyed unt'l It may be done when the turned soil mellows from the plow. It Is very Important to be ready to do such work when the proper conditions do prevail, for good rains may be fol lowed by sufficient drought to make the ground work cloddy again. Exchange. liloclc for Cutting; Corn. When It Is necessary to cut the ears of corn Into small pieces for economical feeding, unless one has a device for It, there Is considerable danger of the per son cutting the corn being Injured. One plan Is simply to attach a board to a chopping block, cutting a bole In one edge large enough for the ears of corn to pass through on to the block. This nrv ck roa cctti.vo conif. board should be about ten Inches wide. By slipping the ear of corn through tho hole, the chopping Is done on one side of the guard, while the ear of corn Is held on the other side, so that It Is Im possible for one In any way o injuro tho hand holding the corn. An opening In the board above the bole Is made for convenience In handling the block. Flayor n Half- Srown Chicks. There Is considerable complaint every year on the part of consumers that the half-grown chicks marketed as roasters , have n verj. undesIrablo flnvor. Ti,ere Is no doubt that In nearly every caso It Is due to a poor quality of food given the growing chicks. Meals of various kinds, usually cornmeal, is fed largely to growing chicks In some sections. When bought at the low price It Is generally found thnt It Is filled with worms This sort of food given to chicks will taint tho flesh every time. It Is hard to understand why those who raise fowls for market will persist In buying cheap foods. If tbo chick Is worth raising at all It Is worth being fed on thj best obtainable. If given tho best grains In variety, and a good grass range, thero Is no reason why the flavor of tho growing chick should not be all that Is desired, Exchange. Prevention of inter ferine The Interfering of horses cau often times be remedied, f specially If the ani mal Interferes In front. The feet should bo trimmed so that they aro level, and the animal should bo shod with a small outside calkin at the heel outside. Tho Insldo heel should be plain and short Havo tho calkins placed on each side ot tho shoe nbout two Inches from the toe. Interfering sometimes comes from gen eral debility of the horse, nnd when this seems to bo the caso the animal should be brought up In every way pos sible, feeding It on oats and bran with good bay. Of course the Interfering which Is brought about by general de bility, Is caused by tho weakness of the ankles. This, however. Is not often the case. Tolmcco iecoctlon. Tobacco decoction for uso as nn In- sectlcldo enn be made by reducing somo of the extracts now on the market or by boiling cut or broken' stems until a thick brown extract Is obtained. Ono pound of tobneco stems should yield one gallon of extract In two hours' boil ing. If It boils down to less, add water to make up beforo using. Strawberry plants may remain in this mixture for several minutes and need not bo wash ed off after being taken out.
