COUNTRY HOME FOR BABIES. The Institution at Sea Cliff to Be Opened Next Week for a Season of Five Months. Sea Cliff. D. 1..

April 30 The managers of the Country Heme for Convalescent Babies South Sea Cliff expect to open the Home on 10 and the season will last at least five months and probably longer. The managers have been so fortunate as to secure as head nurse Miss Jessie MeVear, a graduate of the New York Hospital. Miss McVear is a TOman of large experience with sick children. Last 3'ear she was at Sea Side Hospital of St. John's Guild and comes with the highest testimonials.

With Miss McVear will be seven nurses, most of whom are from the Post Graduate Training School. Dr. William J. Burns of Sea Cliff has been appointed physician in charge and there will be in addition a house doctor, as well as the attending Manhattan physicians and surgeons, Theodore W. Dunham, M.

D. Augustus Oallle, M. D. Robert Abbe, M. and Henry D.

Chapin. M. who will attend regularly at the home for consultations. It was hoped at the close of last season to largely extend the work of tie home this year, but the prospects of war, which will 'be almost sure to affect the income as far as voluntary contributions go, has determined the managers to continue on the same Hue as last year, doing perhaps a little more, as the work will not be so largely experimental, but postponing any plans involving a greatly increased expense. The home hopes to be able to take from 100 to 150 children during the season, some of whom will be well enough at the end of a month to return home and make room for others, while some will perhaps need the entire season to restore them to some measure of help.

Last year 101 children were received and cared for and it was found that but one or two of them had even been in the country before. But one these 104 children died, 73 were discharged cured, 22 were improved and were unimproved. Seventy four of the children were under two years of age. At the annual meeting of the corporation held recently officers were elected, as follows: President. Mrs.

Richard Mortimer: first vice president. Miss Ella E. Russell: second vice president. Mrs. E.

CherriC'S being a less important cro have not been reported upon fully, though tho California output, ot which a few packages have already been received, promis es to be both large and of unusually good character.

Pears have suffered to a certain extent in several areas, and it is probable that the heavy production of last year left the trees in a less vigorous condition than was needed to successfully withstand the vicissitudes of this spring's weather. Apples being of a hardier nature than other fruits and later in blO'S souiHig accounts concerning them are of a favorable nature from all quar tors. Beside, many of the older apple areas rested last year wCiich should be a guarantee for their resumption of fruiting this season. Plums also give fair promise. Strawberries will undoubtedly be abundant and cheap throughout their sea'son unless some unusual disaster overtakes them.

The up river or state crop, the latest to be marketed, will be the heaviest In experience. DISTINCTION SHOULD BE MAINTAINED. To the Editor of tie Brooklyn Eagle: in regard to the present discussion relative to the regular Army and the National Guard it seems that a very important matter has been generally overlooked. If the National Guard is to be disrupted and disorganized by intorests both internal and external, it seems that in future we will have no state troops, and in ease of nets, where the police are not able to ccpe with the disturbers we will have to rely upon the Federal troops, in which event will be brougnt up the question so much agitated at Che time of the Chicago rail read riots in 1S94, as to bhe au thorlty of the President to utilize the Federal Army to quell a disturbance in any of the commonwealths. As tihis question is somewhait debateable it might prove very serious if the executive of the state affected were of the Altgeld type.

This matter does not bear upon the war between ourselves and Spain but is merely a question as to the right of each state to uphold Its constitution and enforce its laws and exercise the powers granted it by constitution of the United States. It might be added that as far as defending ourselves against a foreign foe is concerned there can be no objection made, by any sensible and patriotic citizen, to the increase in the standing Army, provided by the recent reorganization bill, but at the same time it must be borne in mind that the functions of the regular Army and the National Guard are entirely distinct and that this distinction Should be maintained.

FRUIT PROSPECTS. Peach Blossoms Have Withstood Weather Effects Pears and Cherries but Slightly Affected. The effects of the weather upon fruit buds and blossoms, which passed through the winter in the most promising condition, have since been the cause of the utmost solicitude to those who are directly interested or have given the subject any consideration whatever. The mild weather which seit in the latter part of February and continued down to the middle of March, giving rise to the impression that spring had commenced a month earlier than in preceding years, making It probable that fruit blossoms would blow out at that early period and be killed off by later frosts. Fortunately, however, the temper ature changed before development had progressed too far, and since then the weather in those districts the most likely to be affected has continued of a sufficiently retard ing character to warrant the conclusion that the danger line has been passed.

The Maryland and Delaware peninsula and New Jer sey, where the chance of damage was the greatest, is now considered safe. Latest accounts from that district report that the snow storm in early April injured some of the more advanced blossoms, but that the setting of fruit buds, following the rest from bearing the trees had last year, was so abundant that the reduction will prove a benefit to the remainder and the fruit which matures will be the larger and better therefor. The latest from Georgia, where many of the early peaches are produced, is to the effect that there will be a large crop. The up river, as the crop of New York State is generally termed, now gives promise of being enormous. This constitutes the largest portion of late peaches, so that from the Gulf to the Lakes the outlook is most promising.
