RESCUING PARTIES ARE BUSY Bringing Persons In Boats from Low Ly ing Portioos of tbe City to Higher Sections-No Loss of Life A Bother Dao.er Threatens Of lelagraDb to tfio Morning Btar. Greektillh.Miss , March 28. The situation at this city to -night is quite as serious as it was last night, and inch by inch the flood is spreading to new sections of the city; foot by foot the great crevasse in the levee, five miles to the south of the city, is widening and mile after mile of fertile delta land is being covered by the waters as they rush inland from the gap. The development! of the night was that of uneasiness. The disasters which have thus far occurred have been sufficient to shake the stoutest heart and make almost any new ca lamity probable. At the crevasse forces of men have battled all day against the raging tor rent, fighting stubbornly and desper ately with the flood for each foot of the levee that is being eaten at either side of the crevasse bjr the seething waters. It is very probable" that this effort mast be abandoned and the crevasse allowed to pursue its own course, as it has grown wider with each hour until tonight it Is more than four hundred yards across and the engineers say that it will not be improbable for the gap to increase to a mile's width. - In Greenville, there is very little of the town free from water and the rise continues, although the river itself has fallen more than a foot because of the crevasse. It seems probable that the entire city will suffer a disastrous deluge and that the loss of property and damage will reach a large figure. Rescuing parties have been busy all day bringing persons in boats from the low lying portions of tbe city to the higher sections, and thus far there have been no known losses of life. There have been many reports of families being, drowned in their homes and individuals being swept away, but without exception there has been no confirmation in tnts city or these reports. With the situation as gloomy as it necessarily is from the city being over flowed, with the electric light sus pended and the town in total darkness and with the water rising inch by incb. the night will b9 a fearful one for the people of Greenville. But these con ditions of themselves are not the most alarmirg features of the situation, for through the night men and women will sit with ears strained and eyes peering into the.darkneas in the north, awaiting with dread a sullen roar from that direction. For It Is now in this Quarter that danger is most imminent, critical point having developed in the levee thirty miles north of Greenville at Catfish Point. A desperate effort Is being made to hold the levee there and large forces of laborers are being sent to aid those who are there making their fight for the city's safety. ueporta this afternoon from this point are hopeful but the damage that would result from a break at Catfish Point is so enormous that fear for the levee s safety must remain un til the water subsides, even in the race of hopeful reports. Should the break occur at Catfish Point there is no cal culation what would happen to Green ville. The city would be placed la a most precarious position, and the more sober-minded decline to discuss what would happen. It is estimated that fully 1,500 square miles of territory between Greenville and Vicksburg are under water and that this area it being made larger with each hour. For this reason no estimate can be put on the loss of pro perty and the damage that will result from the break. Rescue boats are bus ily engaged in taking the people out of this large section of country, and it is hoped that there will be no loss of life. One boat to-day brought out 75 souls. The situation on the Arkansas side of the river remains unchanged and no break is now threatened. It is very probable that all railroad communication will be shut-off to night At New Orleans. NEW Orleans. March 28 Thnno-h a great torrent of water is pouring through thn hrnslr at TTvmAlfa nlanta. ation, the river here shows little ten dency to decline. Much consolation, nowever, is aenvea irom tne ract that since thn crevaRia neenrrdd thn fIb has ceased. The early morning read ing was zu.i; by nigbtraii it was 20. 2. In explanation of the slight effect the break has had. the fart fa nnintAri In that the current pouring into Hymelia nas not yet cut a channel into the batture and onlra surface flow la tra- ing through the break. If the efforts to ciose tne crevasse are abandoned, the levee, built of river sand, will doubtless melt rapidly and produce a crevasse rivalling that of Davis in 1884 when the river here fell with consid erable rapidity. JUocally the situation is baren of events. The fact that the river has been nractlca.il at a tanHt?ll fn three days has enabled the forces em ployed to improve the temporary em bankments and to accumulate mate rial at various coin ta to ba In nidlnMi for use at a moment's;notice. While the expectation is strong that the Hvmelia cravaaaa will ha rlrtaari thn engineers are preparing to throw up emergency levees to protect Algiers and the thickly settled towns on the west bank opposite New Orleans. No danger attends a back water overflow in these anntlnna hnt nnmalH. erable damage and great hardships nave accompanied it in me past.

Dewey Said the Recent Nsvsl Mascssvres ia Etst Indian Waters Were aa Ob ject Lessoi to the Qerinio Qov ersmeat-Bls Expiaaatloo. or Telegraph to tne Morning Bia: Berlin, March 28. The German Foreign Office officials say they do not believe that a diplomatic incident will result from the recent interview with Admiral Dewey (published in a news paper of Newark, N. J., and contain ing references to the German navy and German Emperor.) Tbe officials say they are reluctant to believe that the admiral was correctly quoted, "es pecially in view of the good will he showed towards Germany in the mes sages exchanged with Prince Henry." Tbe Foreign Office officials add that should the interview turn out to be true, it "would prove somewhat dis turbing to the pleasant relations with the United States." No official information on the sub ject has been received from Washing ton. Referring to the recent American naval manoeuvres in West Indian waters, the officials of the Foreign Office say they "appear to have been ill-chosen, since uermany nas no in terests in the West Indies, antl it would seem that the manoeuvres could with greater aptitude have been alluded to aa being against England, because England on the other band has territory." The interview with Admiral Dewey has angered the. newspapers here. Even those of an usually moderate tone refer to it in a bitter manner. For instance, the Vossische Zeitina says "The American navy is evidently suffering from a disease of infancy lack of modesty. It's leader evincts something unspeakably immature. One can only stand amazed that such intensified self-complacency should take root in a people of Germanic ori gin. Such behavior would not excite wonder if it had occurred in some Central or South American republic, or Hay tl. Admiral Dewey is a worthy imitator of Captain (now Bear Admi ral) Coghian, who, at a New York club, gave a boastful toas, bristling with insults to Germany, and warmed up the exploded story that Admiral Dewey compelled the German fleet at Manila to lie-to when it refused to re spect the blockade. Captain Coghian seems, however, to have spoken from Admiral Dewey's own heart. Captain Coghian was disciplined, and Presi dent McKinley expressed to tbe Ger man ambassador his regret that tbe Incident occurred. The same thing must perhaps be done now in order that superheated Dewejs may be cool ed down. Political generals and ad mirals at any rate are not a sign of wholesome political conditions." The Tageblatt sees in Admiral Dewey's words confirmation of "its oft repeated assertion that the United States easy victory over Spain has produced a certain exaggerated mili tary self-conceit." The Tageblatt adds the information that the "vessels on the American station after docking at 8t. Thomas, Bermuda and Newport News, will proceed to South American waters." Dewey's Explasstloi. Washington, March 28. At the In stance of the President, Admiral Dewey called by appointment at the White House to-day and made full ex planation of a recent newspsper inter view in which tbe admiral was quoted as saying the Caribbean sea manoeuvres were "an object lesson to the Kaiser more than to any other person." The admiral assured the President that he bad no intention of reflecting in the interview upon Germany, her Emperor, or her navy, and while the statements credited to him were sub stantially what he said, he neglected to caution the interviewer against quot ing him. The admiral drove to the While House in his own carriage, accompa nied by the acting chief of the bureau of navigation, Captain William 8. Cowles. At tbe close of the Interview the admiral returned immediately tj his Rhode Island avenue home. The admiral declined to .make any state ment for publication. At the White House it was stated that the admiral's explanation was sat isfactory to the President It ia not believed that further official notice will be taken of the incident A Japanese Retraction. The art of retracting -without taking anything back if the bull may be al lowedseems to be understood in Ja pan. A young orator at a political meeting called a public official a thief. A policeman on duty gravely rose and addressed a remark in a low tone to the speaker, who thereupon said, "The chief of police requests me to retract the word which I have Just spoken. Although the word of a sage should never re-enter, let ns make a conces sion; let us take back the word and keep the idea." Great applause and cries of "Bravo!" greeted the orator's escape from his dilemma. Youth's Companion. Why Tennyson Wrote No Letters. Tennyson once told Sir Henry Tay lor that he thanked God Almighty with his whole heart and soul that he knew nothing and that the world knew nothing of Shakespeare but his writ ings and that he knew nothing of Jane Austen and that there were no letters preserved either of Shakespeare or of Jane Austen; that they, In fact, had " not been "ripped open, like pigs."

The cleaner the culture the better the crop. Careful transplanting Insures supe rior growth. An occasional supply of weak ma nure water is often beneficial to house plants. Rosin and tallow in equal parts make an excellent covering for wounds on fruit and other trees. When fruit is to be sent to market. It will be best to make all arrangements possible in advance. Keep all dead and faulty-limbs cut off the fruit and ornamental trees if for nothing else but the looks. The man who sends poor fruit to market is always the one who com plains of the price. The market is rare ly if ever overstocked with choice fruits. By gathering up and burning all the rubbish in the orchard, the garden and the small fruit patch a large number of injurious Insects may be destroyed. In pruning never cut out small twigs or spurs growing; on larger limbs. These are the spurs for fruit, and often the first crop of fruit la destroyed by, cutting away these fruit spurs.

Saeeessful Flmxs That Were 'Written - - by Boys 1m Their Teens. Was a successful play ever written by a" boy of fourteen? asks a corre spondent Yes. This seeming miracle has happened at least three times. The best known example of the precocious playwright is tbe celebrated Lope de la Vega, the . most prolific dramatist known to history. He produced his first play, a comedy, entitled "La PassJ torai ae Jacinto," before he nad com pleted his fourteenth year, and this was considered such a marvelous per formance that be is known to this day in -Spanish literature as "the Prodigy of Nature." Another Spaniard and con temporary of La Vega," Pedro Calde- ron, wrote his first play when he was thirteen. Metastasio wrote bis tragedy Ginsttno" and had it produced when he was fourteen on the stage at Bo logna. Of English playwrights Douglas Jer- rold, the famous author of "Black Eyed Susan," also furnishes an answer to the question. In 1S18, before he had completed his fifteenth year, he wrote . very well known farce entitled More Frightened Than Hurt" It was very successful on the English stage, and the French considered, it good enough to steal. . Curiously enough, this French translation was retrans lated -into English and again produced on the English boards under the title of "Fighting by Proxy." Another very remarkable instance of a different sort of precocity was that of William Hen ry Ireland, who when he was about fifteen actually produced some plays which "he attributed to Shakespeare and which, although afterward proved to be forgeries, were accepted by the experts of. the time as genuine. Pear son's Weekly. Sympathetic Recently a lithographic firm received a circular announcing the death of the head of a well known business house.

Insects generally breathe through special pores in various parts of their bodies, and if these pores are closed by oil they are suffocated.
