Soil Deterioration.

At a largely attended meeting of theDn r Creek Fanners’ Club of HarfordCounty held at the residence of Mr. W.Beatty, at Churchville, Saturday evening,Prof. Milton Whitney, chief of the Bu-

reau of Soils of the United Stales Depart-ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C-,made an address ou lb j "Fertility of the

Soil as a Commercial Asset.” This is oneof a series of these addresses outliningthe investigations of the Bureau of Soils,the first being delivered last April beforethe Rich Neck Farmers’ Club of QueenAnne county, and has been published asa Farmers’ bulletin by the Department ofAgriculture, entitled “Soil Fertility.” Inthe address the position was taken thatthe soil furnishes an adequate supply ofplant food for crops and that the deteri-oration of crops is not due to an exhaus-tion of plant food, as formerly supposed,but to the presence of toxic or poisonoussubstances present iu the soil or resultingfrom the growth of plants; that ultiva-tion and fertilizers destroy these toxicprinciples and l*ave the soil iu a bettersanitary condition for succeeding crops;that tbe rotation of crops is beneficial,because of the fact that the excreta fromone plant, while usually prejudicial to asimilar plant immediately following, is

not necessarily injurious to other kindsof plants, thus giving the soli more timein which to dispose of the waste products.In the address on Saturday it was pointedout that the general views as to the ac-exhaustion of soils are probably incorrect.It was shown that all available statisticsfail to show any marked deterioration of

the wheat soils of the Northwest, althoughthe general impression is that the yieldof wheat has markedly decreasad in thepast 15 or 20 years.

W., B. & A. Lets Contract

Mr. George T. Bishop, president of theWashington, Baltimore aud AnnapolisElectric Railway Company and the Balti-more Terminal Company, closed a con-tract Tuesday morning with the GeneralElectric Company for the electrical equip-ment to be used on the two roads.

The Publishers of Webster’* InternationalDictionary allege that it “ is, in fact.the popu-larUnabridged thoroughly re-edited in everydetail, and vastly enriched in every part,withthepurpose of adapting it to meet the largerand severer requirements of another genera-tion.”

We are of the opinion that this allegationmost clearly and accurately describes thework that has been accomplished and theresult that has been reached. The Dictionary,as it now stands, has been thoroughly re-edlted in everydetail, has been corrected inevery part, and is admirably adapted to meetthe larger and severer requirements of ageneration which demands more of popularphilological knowledge than any generationthat the world has ever contained.It is perhaps needless to add that we refer

to the dictionary in our judicial work as ofthe highest authority in accuracy of defini-tion ; and that in the future as in the past itwill be the source ofconstant reference.

BLOOD CELLS.IN HEALTH. IN DISEAS*.

~9 |^ Pe£-*r |Man is a millionaire many times over in

the possession of blood cells. Woman isnot quite so rich, for scientists have proventhat the normal number of red blood cellsin adult men is five million; in women fourand a half million, to the square millimeter.

The normal cell is not absolutely roundin health, but, in disease, becomes ex-tremely irregular in shape. Every one canbe in perfect health and possess the mil-lions of rich red blood corpuscles if theyonly know how to go about it. Dr. R. V.Pierce, consulting physician to the Inva-lids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buf-falo, N. Y., advises every man and womanto prepare for a long life by observing na-ture’s laws. In the first place, if yourdigestion is faulty, and the food youeat is not taken up by the blood and assim-ilated properly, you need a tonic and diges-tive corrector, something that will increasethe red blood corpuscles; he believes ingoing about this in nature’s own way.Years ago, in his active practice, he foundthat an alterative extract of certain herbsand roots, put up without the use of alco-hol, would put the liver, lungs and heartinto fuller and more complete action. Thismedicine he called Dr. Pierce’s GoldenMedical Discovery. By assimilating th*food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, in-stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per.son’s blood takes on a rich red color andthe corpuscles are more nearly round.Nervousness is only the cry of the starvednerves for food, and when the nerves arefed on rich red blood the person losesthose irritable feelings, sleeps well at nightgnd feels refreshed in the morning.

Wocrl mb personal.The Circuit Court.

The October term of tbe Circuit Court

convened here on Monday with JudgesBriscoe and Merrick on the bench. JudgeCrane arrived Wednesday. This sessionpromises to be a lengthy one and severalimportant cases will be tried, includingtwo murder cases.

The case that is attracting the most at-tention is that of the State against E. P.Gibbs, a prosperous farmer of QueenAnne district. The charge against Gibbsis that he shot and killed a negro namedThomas Turner. It appears that Turnerwas gathering hay from a field adjoiningGibbs’ place, the title of which was indispute. Gibbs requested the coloredman not to gather the hay and the dis-pute arose which was followed by theshooting. The prisoner has the frontroom on the lawer floor of the jail com-fortably fitted up, and occupies most ofhis time reading.

Tbe shooting, it is stated, will be ad-mitted, and the plea will, we understand,be self defense. The case will be triedhere and not be removed to another coun-ty, as had been expected. Mr. Robert

W. Wells, of Hyattsville, and Mr. Geo.H. Hoover, of Washington, will repre-

sent the prisoner, while the State will berepresented by Mr. M. Hampton Magru-der and Mr. J. C. Rogers.

The other case that will attract closeattention is that of the colored man, JohnJoseph Chase, who was recently arrestedby Deputy Sheriff Vincent for an allegedattempt to criminally assault Miss Eliza-beth Wybenger, a young white girl nearher home in Columbia Park.

A charge of murder is lodged againsta fourteen year old colored boy namedErnest Henry, who, it is stated, shot andkilled Guy Pyles, also colored.

Michael Qualter, an aged soldier, is

also in jail here charged with feloniousassault. It is charged that be assaultedthe young daughter of a resident of Ber-wyn.
