N AT PLEVNA. Remarkable skill in defensive forces held Plevna against the Russians for 144 days. An Pasha, who has been sent to the tront to command the Turkish forces in Macedonia, has been renowned rather as a defensive than as an offensive soldier. In defense he has been considered one of the greatest Generals of Europe since the siege of Plevna, in the Russo-Turkish war, when he held the town for more than four months against the Russians and Roumanians. He is noted for coolness in his military operations, but not less for his bravery and the characteristic fanaticism of the Ottoman soldier. He is 67 years of age, which is not old for a fighting man among the Turks when compared with Hafiz Pasha, who was killed a fortnight ago, after being wounded three times, and who, although 83 years old, had refused to stay out of battle. The long siege which Osman Pasha sustained in the Bulgarian town, against enormous armies, while his own force was not a very large one, led to remarkable stories about him which were diligently circulated, and which the Turkish minister in this country had to deny officially and specifically. Mystery surrounded his identity. It was said that the commander of Plevna was Marshal Bazaine, who had defended Metz; that he was a renegade Prussian; that he was an American adventurer named Clay Crawford. The Turkish Minister to the United States proclaimed that he was a native Turk and made public some of the facts of his life. Although Plevna made him world famous, Osman was known as an able warrior at a much earlier date, having served in the Crimean war, against the Cretan insurrectionists and in the Servian war. He went into the Russian war in 1877 in command of the Fifth Army Corps. At Scalevitze he suffered defeat. Then he entrenched himself at Plevna. The Russians had made unexpected time over the Danube, camping on the southern side early in July, and soon afterward had passed the Balkans. At Plevna they received their first repulse. Orders had been given to the Russian army to occupy Plevna as soon as possible, but Osman made that time a long way off. Gen. Schilder-Schuldner undertook the mission first with 6500 men, but was engaged by a superior force before he reached the city and was defeated with a loss of nearly 3,000 killed and wounded.

The man was either too badly surprised to defend himself or declined to repel the attack of his wife. At the first sign of an encounter the colored girl fled precipitately from the scene; and as soon as he could release himself from the grasp of his enraged assailant the man did likewise. The wife said she was Miss Emiline M. McMullen, daughter of an old railroad contractor of Sacramento, Cal. Eighteen months ago she went to Cincinnati to visit an old schoolgirl friend and there she met T. J. Watkins, the man she put to rout. The acquaintance resulted in marriage and the two went to housekeeping. During the time she had known Watkins the woman said she had advanced him $2000. LEGUMES IN THE ORCHARD. When Prof. Budd of the Iowa Agricultural College was recently in Southern California he continually talked of the necessity of planting legumes in orange orchards. He condemned severely the practice of clean culture in winter and said that nitrogen fixing plants should occupy the ground during that season, to be plowed under in Rheumatism the Sw The Most Wonderful in Modern Is There Anything to Suffer From tha It was four years ago next month Mrs. M. M. Hoyt, who lives at 2490 worth Avenue, came to Chicago. She at that time bed-ridden, suffering from flammatory rheumatism and not raise her feet from the floor. One best physicians in Chicago treated her three weeks but was unable to effect relief. He gave up her case, but nothing could be done for her and thus had but a few days to live. In speaking of her sufferings and lief and permanent cure effected last says: "When I was five years old taken down with inflammatory rheumatitis but after a comparatively short time ed off, and I was free from all its syne until I was fourteen years old. Then another attack, of which I was cured did not have a sick day until four yeas Christmas afternoon 1892. "I had lived twenty-eight years in Michigan, and fourteen towns being on the lake. The weather in both even more damp, more raw and in colder than it is here. In Manistee two years I conducted a dressmaking event which I carried on until I was sick. I knew all the prominent men Manistee and it was hard for me to el business and leave all the people I had there for years. My four children whom are married lived in Chicago and advised to change climate I came her attack on that Christmas afternoon without warning. I was suddenly with chills and rheumatic fever, which worse day by day. Manistee physician all they could for me, but I was helped until the end of May 1893. The clans advised me to leave the shores lake and especially Manistee. I took advice and came to Chicago. "Rheumatism was in my hands, and my head, in fact it was all over sides having heart failure. I could think of leaving my chair. I was up comb my hair, I was practically heat time I came to Chicago. Do you those white scars on my hands? We tell you how I got them. My came fearfully swollen with the nime timed and smooth and shiny just." He went into the Russian war in 1877 in command of the Fifth Army Corps. At Sealevitz he suffered defeat. Then he entrenched himself at Plevna. The Russians had made unexpected time over the Danube, camping on the southern side early in July, and soon afterward had passed the Balkans. At Plevna they received their first repulse. Orders had been given to the Russian army to occupy Plevna as soon as possible, but Osman made that time a long way off. Gen. Schilder-Schuldner undertook the mission first with 6500 men, but was engaged by a superior force before he reached the city and was defeated with a loss of nearly 3,000 killed and wounded. The Russians got up some reinforcements while the Turks went on strengthening Plevna, and on July 1 another assault was made by the besiegers, who met another defeat, losing 170 officers and 7,136 men. They were put upon the defensive. "Happily for Russia, the Turkish army had no competent leader," T. W. Knox says in his "Decisive Battles Since Waterloo," "or the army of the Czar would have been captured or drowned in the Danube. Instead of forcing the fighting, Osman Pasha continued to fortify Plevna. The Czar ordered to the front 120,000 regulars, 180,000 militia, and 460 pieces of artillery as reinforcements. The Turkish army in the field, in three divisions, consisted of 155,000 men, of whom about 50,000 were at Plevna. By the end of August the Russian forces were in such numbers that 90,000 Russians and Roumanians, with 440 guns, set out for another advance upon Plevna, where it was estimated Osman Pasha had 56,000 men. A continuous bombardment from Sept. 6 to Sept. 11 was followed up by an assault upon the town, which resulted only in the capture of one redoubt (which Gen. Skobeleff held for one day, waiting for reinforcement, which did not get to him) at a loss of 18,000 to 20,000 men. The Turkish loss was 5,000 less. Then the real siege was begun—the effort to starve Osman Pasha out. It took nearly two months to complete the investment of the city. On Nov. 3 all the roads entering Plevna were occupied, and the besieging host numbered 120,000 men. There were forces of Russians and Roumanians within three miles of the city by Nov. 12, and on that day Osman Pasha was called upon to surrender. He refused, decidedly. He boasted that he had provisions enough to last until spring. The people in the city, however, were in straits, and insufficient hospital facilities and a large number of deaths in the army resulted in the spread of disease in army and town. At last, forty-five days after the complete investment of the town, sixty days after the arrival of his last supply train, and 144 days after his own arrival there, Osman Pasha decided, on Sunday evening, Dec. 9, to make a last sortie. He abandoned some of his redoubts that night, and early the next morning his forces threw themselves against the besieging lines with such terrific fury that in a few minutes they had captured a battery and almost annihilated a regiment of grenadiers who were defending it. Under the fire of the second investment line the Turks waged for fifteen minutes a bayonet fight with the grenadiers, who had essayed to recapture the battery, and many men were killed. The Turks were finally driven back, but the battle, which had begun a 7 o'clock, was continued until 12:30, when both sides ceased firing. Half an hour later Osman Pasha sent word that he was willing to surrender, and the terms of capitulation were arranged in fifteen minutes. In half an hour the Turks had laid down their resultant in marriage and the two went to housekeeping. During the time she had known Watkins the woman said she had advanced him $2000. LEGUMES IN THE ORCHARD. When Prof. Budd of the Iowa Agricultural College was recently in Southern California he continually talked of the necessity of planting legumes in orange orchards. He condemned severely the practice of clean culture in winter and said that nitrogen fixing plants should occupy the ground during that season, to be plowed under in the spring. Prof. Budd has written the following letter, which appears in the Citrograph, on the same subject: Over the earth the value of clover in keeping up the fertility of the soils in orchard and garden was well understood long prior to the discovery of scientists that its root nodules developed nitrogen in the soil and rendered other essentials to perfect plant growth available. More recently, in the fruit growing centers of Europe and Asia, other legumes, such as the common pea, the cow pea, the lupines and the vetches, were found quite as valuable as the clovers as nitrogen manufacturers; the better fitted for growth among fruit trees, especially in countries where summer culture is essential. In south France, Italy and Florida prior to the freeze, orange orchards could be found with perfect foliage and crop of perfect fruit which have for ten or more years had a crop of peas, lupines or vetches turned under each year. A good illustration in Southern California is found in the orchard of I. Ford of Redlands. For two springs in succession he has turned under heavy crops of peas. In addition he has put on some wood ashes. Visitors will find the foliage of his trees peculiarly dark and uniform in color, and will hear the story that the heavy crop of navel oranges was uniform in size, dark colored, heavy and free from cracks or roughened skin. This effect on the foliage, heavy bearing and grade of fruit has been reported to the writer many times in Europe and America, not only with citrus fruits but with all the deciduous ones. The humus from the turned under crop, together with the nitric acid developed, seems to be the one thing needful for perfect fruits, especially when supplemented with wood ashes. Among the other gains of the winter covering of the soil with legumes may be enumerated (1) the lessened wash of the soil by winter rains; (2) the lessened evaporation; (3) the more perfect rest of the trees in winter and later blossoming; (4) increased certainty that the fruit will not drop; (5) the annual crop of humus turned under will put the soil in better mechanical condition, enabling it to hold water better during the irrigation period. The Canadian pea does well here and is much cheaper than that of the garden sorts better for table use. Mr. Ford of Redlands uses the Prussian Blue variety, as he sells the crop for table use at a profit. In South France the lupines are used. Over Southern California are found several native species of the lupine, at least four of which are better than the varieties used in Europe. Some one applies engage in the business of growing on a large scale the best native lupines for seed. If not plowed under until the seed ripens, the one sowing will seed the ground for years.

Thrashes Her Recreant Husband on a Washington Thoroughfare. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.—An injured wife, a recreant husband and a comely mulatto girl were the persons, and a Pennsylvania avenue, near Fifteenth street, the scene of a lively episode this evening, in which the husband was knocked out in the first round, the girl put to flight and the wife's vengeance satisfied. The man was well dressed. His companion was a light-colored mulatto girl, neatly dressed, who chatted with him in a familiar manner. The wife stepped into a doorway and awaited the coming of the pair. When the man was within ten feet, the little woman jumped from her hiding place. "This is what keeps you in Washington, is it, you brute? Take that, and that; and don't you ever darken my door again." The attack of the woman was so impetuous, so unexpected and conducted with such fury that the man was whipped before he knew what had struck him. With a single blow, squarely on the face, the plucky little woman finished him, and split her kid glove. Following up her advantage, she again CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

From the Chronicle, Chicago, Ill. It was four years ago next month that M. M. Hoyt, who lives at 2429 Wentwood Avenue, came to Chicago. She was just time bed-ridden, suffering from inflammatory rheumatism and not able to get her feet from the floor. One of the physicians in Chicago treated her here two weeks but was unable to effect even one. He gave up her case, believing it could be done for her and that she had a few days to live. Speaking of her sufferings and the rebound permanent cure effected later she said: "When I was five years old I was down with inflammatory rheumatism, after a comparatively short time it passed, and I was free from all its symptoms. I was fourteen years old. Then I had an attack, of which I was cured, and not have a sick day until four years ago Christmas afternoon 1892." She had lived twenty-eight years in Luding-Michigan, and fourteen years in Manitoba, both towns being situated near Lake. The weather in both places is more damp, more raw and in winter than it is here. In Manistee for many years I conducted a dressmaking establishment which I carried on until I was taken home. I knew all the prominent people in Manistee and it was hard for me to close my eyes and leave all the people I had known for years. My four children, all of them are married, lived in other States, and daughter lived in Chicago and being used to change climate I came here. The knock on that Christmas afternoon came about warning. I was suddenly taken off hills and rheumatic fever, which grew day by day. Manistee physicians did they could for me, but I was helpless in until the end of May 1893. The physician advised me to leave the shores of the lake and especially Manistee. I took their nose and came to Chicago. Rheumatism was in my hands, my feet my head, in fact it was all over me because of heart failure. I could not walk or leaving my chair. I was unable to do my hair, I was practically helpless at time I came to Chicago. Do you see all the white soars on my hands? Well, let me tell you how I got them. My hands be fearfully swollen with the rheuma and were smooth and shiny just like a snowflake. "The eight months past I had not been able to comb my hair, dress myself or walk, and had to be fed during all this time like a babe. Well, the first pill I remember distinctly, I took on a Saturday, and the following Monday I found this improvement; namely, my nerves seemed to be firmer and my pains less. I wish to state that at this time, for the last four months I had not slept over an hour at a time, had suffered so greatly from nervous prostration, to the extent that the least noise would completely upset me and make me shake like one having the ague. This Monday evening I was sitting in my chair, and bear in mind, my daughter's house was full of company making more or less noise, all tending to keep me nervous. With all that I commenced to feel easier, a strange and quiet feeling I had not experienced since that Christmas afternoon I was stricken down. I called to my daughter and said, 'Ada, I don't know what has come over me. I feel so restful and actually feel sleepy. I think I will try to go to sleep.' I could see that she was surprised and pleased. Immediately she undressed me and put me to bed. "I slept soundly from 9 o'clock till 1 o'clock in the morning, and that mind you with a house full of people. I remained awake but a short time, feeling better than I had for months, and went into a sound sleep, never waking till 7 o'clock in the morning. It was very hot down there in August, but from that time I slept and rested well. Then I felt and saw an improvement gradually going on. The first thing I noticed was that the swelling in my hands was going down, and after several weeks assumed their natural shape, and the tightly drawn skin, which looked like glass disappeared altogether as well as the pain. Before this time whenever I tried to close my hands my finger joints would crack and the same cracking sounds I heard when I bent my elbows or tried to raise my arms as high as my shoulders. All this left me and also all the fierce rheumatic pains all through my body. I came back to Chicago entirely cured, feeling hare and hearty, and that after having used the miraculous Pink Pills of Dr. Williams' for about four months. I suppose I had taken during these four months about one and a half dozen boxes. "It is now over three years ago that all this happened, and I have never felt better in my life. You can see for yourself that am pretty spry on my feet. I have no pains," THE MITCHELLS SCORED. Acted Fraudulently in Disposing of Their Pasadena Hotel—Must Take It Back. Los Angeles Herald; May 1. The Hotel Mitchell at Pasadena will again change hands, and revert to N. H. Mitchell and wife. It is only a few weeks ago that the suit in which William MacNaughton et al. sought to compell the Mitchells to rescind the contract of purchase, and now Judge Van Dyke has decided that the plaintiff is entitled to the relief asked. The transaction was one of an exchange of properties, the plaintiffs MacNaughton and Watson, exchanging their several properties with the defendants Mitchell for the furniture in the Hotel Mitchell. In connection with the sale and transfer of the hotel furniture defendants leased to the plaintiffs the hotel for a term of years, at $125 per month. The plaintiffs, however, averred that the defendants made representations to them in reference to the business of the hotel, and that, relying upon those representations they entered into the agreement for the exchange of properties, and that those representations were false, and known to be so by the defendants at the time; also that between the time of entering into the agreement and exchange, and taking possession of the hotel, the defendants fraudulently and surreptitiously removed from the hotel some of the articles of furniture included in the sale. "It is apparent," says Judge Van Dyke, "from the testimony and the circumstances surrounding the transaction that the principal consideration which induced the plaintiffs to enter into the arrangement was the expectation and belief that the hotel was profitable, or, at least, afforded a paying business. The testimony in reference to what representations were made by the defendants to the plaintiffs is conflicting; but there are four witnesses in favor of the plaintiffs, as against two for the defendants. Besides, the probabilities are greatly in favor of the testimony of the plaintiffs. If the statement of the amount of business had been as claimed by the defendants, after deducting the running expenses, including the rent to be paid, no profit whatever would remain; on the contrary, an annual loss. On the other hand, if the business of the hotel amounted to what was stated by the defendants, as claimed by the testimony on behalf of the plaintiffs, quite a margin over expenses and rent would be realized; so that the business, instead of being a losing business, would be of some profit."

The new county government act, in general features, goes into effect days after its passage or May 31.

The thinning on the Chino ranch is late, and is beginning to come on with a rush. At Anaheim the crop is already half thinned. The progress of the work on the Chino ranch may be summed up this way: Yet to be planted, 3000 acres; planted and just coming up, 2000 acres; good stand, 1800 acres. Of the latter, 400 acres are ready to thin and 450 acres are thinned. Saved by a Sauseige. It is possible to overestimate the courage of a robber, as may be seen by this story by Judge Seymour D. Thompson, given in the St. Louis Republic: MoNab was the hero of a hairbreadtie escape. It was in Canada, where MoNab, a brawny Scotchman, was a fellow colopteur of my father, the Rev. Seymour Thompson. The two became separated on the night of MoNab's adventure. The Scotchman was riding through a forest unarmed. He had a package of Bibles on one side of his saddle and on the other a string of frozen sausages, which were to be thawed and cooked for his breakfast. A highwayman stopped MoNab's reflections and his progress at the same time. The Scotchman was frightened. He never denied that. He had a little money in his boot, and he leaned over to remove the boot and satisfy the demand of the robber. His hand struck against the frozen sausages. He thought himself of these. Perhaps they would be accepted instead of money. He broke me of them in two and was flicking; but there are four witnesses in favor of the plaintiffs, as against two for the defendants. Besides, the probabilities are greatly in favor of the testimony of the plaintiffs. If the statement of the amount of business had been as claimed by the defendants, after deducting the running expenses, including the rent to be paid, no profit whatever would remain; on the contrary, an annual loss. On the other hand, if the business of the hotel amounted to what was stated by the defendants, as claimed by the testimony on behalf of the plaintiffs, quite a margin over expenses and rent would be realized; so that the business, instead of being a losing business, would be of some profit. "But it is maintained on behalf of the defendants that the plantiffs should have informed themselves, and not have depended upon the representations of the defendants. This is a case, however, where that rule in its strictness does not apply. It applies where the parties have equal facilities and opportunities for arriving at the facts of the case, independent of representations. It is in evidence that the defendants did not keep any books of account. They only had a memorandum of receipts for a few months a long time prior to the date of the exchange, and the hotel register. These did not furnish any data from which the statements of the defendants in reference to the business for the period claimed could have been verified." After quoting authorities to sustain the position taken, the court further holds that the further allegations of the complaint have been supported by a preponderance of evidence, that before the furniture of the hotel was delivered to the defendants and they were let into possession, a number of articles which were included in the sale were surreptitiously and fraudulently removed from the hotel, to the injury of the plaintiffs. "But the main ground for relief," says the court, "is the fact that the business of the hotel is not what it was represented to be, but falls greatly below, and instead of being a profitable business, or a paying business, it is a losing business during the period in which it was conducted by the defendants, adding the amount of rent which the plaintiffs were to pay to the amount of expenses admitted and shown." Judgment accordingly has been ordered for the plaintiffs, and they may now begin to back up and make ready to surrender possession to the original owner of the hotel. Preachers and Railroads. The announcement that the railroads throughout next year to grant half rates to clergymen has been received with unfeigned satisfaction by a majority of the members of the cloth. But not by all. A prominent and respected preacher, commenting upon the matter, said: "I had hoped that the railroads were finally about to wipe out the semideadhead privilege extended to the clergy. It is a relief of the times when preaching meant poverty, and under the changed conditions it is not only unfair to the railways and the general traveling public, but it is destructive of the self respect of its beneficiaries. The railroads have been chafing under the clerical half fare system for a long time, and for several years some of them have been trying to do away with it. Times have changed since the church was poor and preachers underpaid, and the railroad people are quite sensible of the fact."—Philadelphia Record. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE OFFICE-HOLDER. From the Orange Post. The new county government act, in general features, goes into effect any days after its passage or May 31. The changes made in the salaries of the county officers by the act will affect the present incumbents. Incidents who receive fees or per diem compensation only, are subjected to whatever changes the act makes in their compensation immediately on its saving effect. The saving to the taxpayers in Orange county by the reduction in salaries has been variously estimated at from $4500 to $5000 per annum, the taxpayers are accordingly consulted on all sides. This may be a saving and it may not: "There is no scattereth, and yet increaseeth, and there is that withholdeth more than is lost, but it tendeth to poverty." More be lost to the taxpayers through incident officers than all the saving through the reduction of salaries. It is answer to say that there will be plenty of applicants for the places at reed wages. That is always the case matter what the compensation, and some men would be dear at any place. Whether the reductions will be real saving to the people of Orange County remains to be seen; but if the statute had shown a like zeal to reduce State taxation it would have raised the taxpayers better. WORKS IN THE BEETS AT CHINO. From the Champion. Wednesday afternoon we interviewed A. Connolly, of the agricultural department of the factory. He had just come in from the fields west of town, engaging with him a sample of a worm, quantities of which were in one of the beds and which it was feared was an army worm. It is certain, however, nothing worse than a common cut worm, there is some apprehension over the ages of the army worm east of the chich, but hopes are entertained that they will not cross the sandy plains between here and Rialto. Mr. Connolly informs us that there up to date planted for this factory, approximately 10,000 acres, there being 25 last Saturday. Of this, 3800 acres on the Chino ranch, leaving 50 acres yet to be planted here. About acres have been replanted this year, all told. This is the smallest acre ever replanted here. It shows long seed and few damaging elements. This is the least damage we ever had from wind. There are thinned to date, all told, 1500 acres, of which 1500 acres are in Scotchman was riding through a forest unarmed. He had a package of Bibles on one side of his saddle and on the other a string of frozen sausages, which were to be thawed and cooked for his breakfast. A highwayman stopped McNab's reflections and his progress at the same time. The Scotchman was frightened. He never denied that. He had a little money in his boot, and he leaned over to remove the boot and satisfy the demand of the robber. His hand struck against the frozen sausages. He thought himself of these. Perhaps they would be accepted instead of money. He broke one of them in two and was about to offer half of it to the highwayman, when suddenly he found himself alone and heard the clatter of a horse's rapidly retreating hoofs. Badly frightened as he was, McNab laughed. The robber had mistaken the cracking of the sausage for the cooking of a pistol and had fled. A Mouse's Quarter Century Run. A wheelman hung his bicycle from the ceiling of his cellar and not far from a swinging shelf on which food was kept. A mouse jumped from the wall on to the tire of the front wheel, evidently hoping thereby to reach the shelf. The wheel started, and mousie naturally ran toward the highest part of it. It was able to stay on the top of the tire, but couldn't get enough of a foothold to jump to the wall. When found next morning, the mouse was very much exhausted, though still running. The cylometer showed that it had traveled over 28 miles.—Albany Express. Why It Was an Outrage.
