OF VERA CRUZ
VERA CRUZ, May 15. General
Volnsco, who wn defeated at Tor
rccn, with heavy loss and was him
aclf wounded, has liecn ordered out
of the capital to assume the military
governorship of San I. ills I'otosl.
Many h ere regarded the appoint
ments an significant, slnro rumors
linvo been current that tlcncrnl Vc
lasro Is deeply Involved In a military
plot against General Hucrta. Vclas
co has not yet recovered from hla
wounds and his friends say ho Is In
no condition to assume command In
the field.
After his return to tho capital Ve-
lasco Is reported to have reproached
Hucrta for his failure to reinforce
him at Torreon. 'The criticism of
his chief was regarded br his friends
as foolhardy and surprise was mani
fested that Vclasco was not Im
prisoned. Mexican newspaper men hero tiavc
been listed at the capital as traitor.
In a semi-official document sent from
Mexico City all those who remained
after tho occupation arc accused ot
"selling their pens to Fletcher, the
invader." An Intimation Is made
that tho federal government will deal
drastically with them when It regains
control of Vera Cruz.
Tho reply of the newspaper men
was the Issuo last night of a now
paper named the "Voico of tho Peo
ple" which devotes its cntlro first
Issuo to tho advocacy ot the constitu
tionalist movement and denunciation
of General Iluvrtn.

COLORADO'S
TP 1113 labor war in Colorado ninv bo summed up in tin
single, terse and vigorous sentence of General Sher
man on the subject ot war, wherein that distinguished
authority declared the same to be hell. ITp to the present
time tho Miners' union has spent over a million dollars in
its war against the coal operators; the operators have put
two and a half millions into

and its military expenditures,

useless war that should have
As is usual in such conflicts, both sides are at lault. A
little yielding on each side would have prevented the
whole conflict and saved this awful sacrifice of life and
money.
The repeated moutiiings of young Mr. Rockefeller to
the effect that he is waging a war for the inalienable rights
of the American laborer, is as
cymbal, m tne lace ot the Kocketeller millions built upon
the bones of American labor; the Rockefeller importation
of foreign hordes to supplant American labor; the grafting
company stores and the Rockefeller thugs and gunmen
employed to tyrranize and bully American labor. How
ever virtuous and high sounding young Mr. Rockefeller's
preachings, it will not serve to cjoak the wolfish ravisher
it seeks to mask.
Rose Mildew
(Ily Ocorgo Masseo ot National Hofo
Society.)
Jtoso mildew is undoubtedly tho
most destructive and, at tho same
time, the most prevalent disease with
which tho grower of roses has to con
tend. Llko most other parasitic
fungi it Is sporadic In its appear
ance: during certain seasons It as
sumes tho proportions of an epidemic,
whereas on other occasions 't does
but little Injury, but It is never en
tirely absent. Tho waves of serious
disease arc mainly duo to neglect in
not fighting the pest when present
in the smallest quantity, which means
that it is struggling against difficul
ties, and' could much more easily be
overcome.
The reason why mildow is much
more prevalent during some seasons
than others depends almost entirely
on the host plant, and not on tho
fungus, which Is always present In
sufficient quantity to set up an epi
demic If conditions arc favorable
Broadly speaking, "soft" follago fav
ors the disease, whereas "hard" fol
iage cannot bo so readily Infected.
This statement Is not only true so far
as relates to foliage affected by
weather conditions, but also as to tho
relatively Hard or soft foliage and
shoots of dlffccnt kinds of roses.
The microscopic structure of tho leaf
of tho "Crimson Itnmblcr" Indicates
that It could readily bo Infected, and
this proves to be tho caso with this
variety. The greater susceptibility
of roses, and of plants in general, to
disease when grown under glass,
than when the same kind of plant is
grown In the open, depends almost
entirely on the relatively "softness"
of the foliage and shoots. Knrly
morning ventilation, which Is too
frequently neglected, Is tho best cor
rective for this condition of things.
A damp, warm, muggy season
causes tho follago of plants growing
In the open to remain "soft" and
highly susceptible to disease. The
reason of this Is tho roots ara con
stantly taking up water which can
not escape from tho leaves on nccount
of tho amount of moisture present in
tho air, consequently the cells of tlm
leaf are always distended with wat
ery celt sap, a condition of things
which favors, in tho first Instanco,
the rapid germination of fungus
spores that alight on tho surfaco ot
the leaves, and secondly, tho easy
cntrauco of the germ-tubes of such
spores Into the Interior of tho leaves
An exceptionally rainy season Is
unfavorable for tho development of
mildow and other fungus diseases,
becauso rain washes tho spores to tho
ground almost as fast as they are
produced, also these spores that da
alight on tho leaves' aro freqently
washed off before they havo time to
gormlnato and enter tho tlE3ucx of
tho leaf, Another factor of Import
ance Is tho comparative absence of
Insects which play an important part
In conveying spores of fungi from
Infected to healthy buses.
Mildew Is present throughout tho
scfthon every year In greater or less
abiiudanco, but as a rule thoro aro
two marked waves of tho disease;
one in the spring soon after tho fol
iage Is full grown. The second wave
appears noon after midsummer, nnd
attacks tho leaves and shoots of tho
new growth,
During an avorago season tho
spring wave of dlscaso Is usually of
a mild churacter, and apt to bo over,

This neglect, however, may lead to

and Its Cure
the previous season cannot be In
fected, nnd tho winter fruit Is only
produced on tho mlhtcw growing on
tho shoots. For this reason the late
summer wave of Infection Is most
dangerous, inasmuch as It furnishes
tho fungus fruit that stnrts the dis
caso tho following season. As prev
iously stated, tho winter fruit ap

mycelium growing on tho young
wood, rarely on tho fruit, never on
tho leaves.
I'revrnllvo S frit u ret
(1) Cleanliness. As will have
been pathered from tho preceding
accounting, the extension of mildew
depends on summer spores produced
on tho leaves being conveyed by
wind and other agents to other
healthy leaves. This risk is met by
spraying, which will be dealt with In
the next paragraph; on the other
hand, the appearance ot mildew dur
ing tho following season depends en
tirely on tho presence of winter
spores that aro formed on tho whlto
patches ot mcccllum growing on tho
wood, and sometimes also on th
fruit. It Is therefore ot tho utmost
Importance that every patch of myce
Hum present on the wood and fruit
bo carefully scraped off and burned
This work should bo done ns early
In tho season as possible, otherwise
so mo of tho winter spores may fall
to tho ground, where they will sur
vive tho winter and possibly prove a
nuisance the following spring.
(2) Spraying. A solution ot po
tassium sulphide, popularly known as
"llvor and sulphur" ono ounco dis
solved In five gallons ot rain water
Is an excellent fungicide against ml),
dew. If a tablo spoonful of liquid
gluo Is added, tho funglcldo adheres
much longer to tho follago. If tho
whites of two eggs Instead ot tho
glue, tho adhesiveness Is still great
er It la Important to remember
that, although liver ot sulphur will
actually kill roso mildew, Its primary
use Is that of a preventive against
Infoctlon, by destroying spores on
tho fungus that alight on the follago,
henco It should bo applied en tho
earliest suggestion of tho presence of
mildew. Later In tho season when
tho second wave of mildow appears,
a somewhat stronger solution of tho
fungicide may often bo used to ad
vantage, moro especially during a
dry, sunny season when tho follago
is fairly hard. (Sco nolo.)
A funglcldo cannot bo applied ef
fectively by using an ordinary sy
ringe. A proper sprayer Hhould bo
used. Tho finer tho spray tho bet
tor It adheres to tho follago. It the
spray Is too coarso tho particles run
together to form drops largo enough
to run off tho follago. Tho samo re
suit follows spraying too much liquid
on to a bush, however flno tho fcpray
may bo.
(No to.) Atomic sulphur, lecom
monded by Professor O'Oara, is bet
ter for spraying and can bo gotten at
tho local fruit associations.

father's story, nl.-o expressed great
regret, nnd a-ked I ho father to ray
with him. for the safe delivery of the
child. When they iinne from their

father and told htm to he hopeful
and pray tinccningly and Ood would
surely nnswer hit prayers, if it was
Hit will that the child should he re
stored to tho parent'. The father de
parted in a happy frame of mind, for
lie believed the rich man intended to
lie God's instrument and ranoui hit
dear child. As the days passed the
father prayed with high hopes, but
when thu day for the ransom drew
near inu ricu loan came uoi, ami ine
parents became mn.t anxious; the
mother wept piteotisly.
And then it was known among the
workers and the poor of tho city,
that the ran-oni had not heen ob
tained, mid they consulted among
eacn outer and went to the miner
and mother nnd said to them: "As
we love (Mir own children, ns they
are what we live for, we will save
yours, if it takes all wo have." And
thev gathersd their savings to
gether, some borrowing from the
iitiirer, nnd thus the whole sum de
manded was collected, nnd they went
to the father's house and gave it him
with gladness on their faces and joy
in their hearts. And tho father fell
on his kuces nnd thanked Hod for
his gooilucts ia rending' these friends
to help him, and asked (!"d o for-
give him for not trusting Him to re
store his chdd, mid for doubting III
intentions to do so, nnd ho promised
(loil to servo Itiui with greatest de
votion for the remainder of his life.
He took the money and departed in
hntc, for the ransom day was near,
and the dixlam-e was great. On the
journey the father was eouliiiually
giving thanks to Ood for his good
ness und pl'dginf his life to (JodV
service.
Arriving .it tho appointed place,
the father peiceived n young man of

nski'd if lie knew of tho whereabouts
of a certain hrigund'or robber vvio

man miMvercd Hint ho was holding

"Aro you her father?"
The father feiirinir, ho had given
