Proceedings of the National Convention at
Chicago-Oficers Elect for the Ensuing
Ye.r.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Butter, Cheese
and Egg association to-day heard the report
of the treasurer, which was accepted. The
following officers were elected President,
Jas. F. Joyce, New York secretary and treas
urer, Col. R. NJ. Littler, Iowa first vice pres
ident, John A. Willet, Massachusetts, and
about dozen others. Prof. Piper made q
microscopical exhibit of tallow butter.
VIM. Webb, of New York, discussed the
financial aspect of the produce trade, taking
strong ground against sight drafts in bills of
lading, urging general movement against
the custom. A resolution was adopted ask
ing Congress to admit English dairy salts
free of duty. Also, that the Erie canal toll
of $l.90 per ton on salt be abolished. A
general adoption of refrigerator rolls in
steamships was urged upon all transporta-
ton lines.
Representations of Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore stated they
could offer superior facilities for freighting
dairy products by ocean steamers, cold stor-
age, and the conclusion was reached that
more judgment in the application of cold as
preventative of perishable articles was de-
slrable to make it success. David Ward
Wood, of Chicago, addressed the convention
on the frauds and aduiteration in dairy pro-
ducts. The next annual meeting will be
held April 9Th, at a place to be decided on in
the future. Adjourned sine die. There has
never been before so general an attendance
at convention by dealers and producers as
to-day.

Apostle and Religious Worker.

Death of the Distinguished Temperance
Apostle and Religious Worker.
HARTFORD. March 7.-Elihu Burritt died
last night at his residence in New Britain.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
Mr.. Bnrritt was born in New Britain,
Conn, Dec 8, 1911. The son CT shoema-
ker, he Was educated in the common schools
OF his native village, and at the age of 16
was apprenticed to a blacksmith. An early
conceived project Of reading the scriptures
IN their original languages led him to phiio-
logical studies in the intervals of labor, and
by diligence and q remarkable facility he was
soon able to understand works in several Ian
guages. He removed TO Worcester to have
advantage of the library of the antiquarian
society there, and while still plying his trade
became acquainted with the principal an
Gent and modern languages. A few trans
1ations are the only results of his phiologi-
cal learning given to the public. In 1914 he
edited at Worcester the Christian Citizen, a
paper advocating a peaceful settlement
of international difficulties. To the
same end he delivered many public lee
lures. In 1916 he went to England, where
he formed the ''League of Universal Broth
erhood,' whose object was ''to employ all
legitimate means for the abolition of war
throughout the world" He was constantly
engaged in writing and lecturing, and took
prominent part in all the European peace
congresses. He returned to America in 1853.
The promotion of temperance, cheap
ocean postage, and the abolition of Ameri-
can slavery, have been objects of his con-
tinued exertious. Among his propositions
was one that the national government extn-
guish slavery in the Southern States by pur-
chasing and freeing the slaves. His princi-
pal publications have been "Sparks from the
Anvil in England, 1913, and ''Thoughts
aud Things at Home and Abroad" Boston,
1874

New YORK, March flames r. Keene, a
well-known stock and grain operator, stated
tonight that his name was forged last night,
Thursday, to half rate telegraphic message
TO J. K. Fisher & Co., grain dealers, of Chi
cago, directing them to sell three million
bushels of wheat on his (Mr Keene's) ac-
count. This caused decline in wheat at
Chicago to-day from So to 50 cents. Keene
knew nothing of the transaction until this
afternoon and rcpudiates the entire sale,
which will compel the repurchase by Fisher
& Co. of the amount sold for his account.
keene says he had no intention of
making any sales of grain at present, and
certainly not at 50 cents per bushel. The
message was sent through the Atlantic and
Pacific company and Keen states was evil
IDENTITY the work of an agent in New York of
Chicago parties. Steps have been taken to
discover the author of the telegram. Keen
says suspicious are strong against persons
short of provisions, and hoped by this means
to depress the market and cover short. A
large reward will be undoubtedly offered by
Keen for the discovery of the forger and his
associates. The original copy of the dispatch
Is now in Keen's possession.
AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, March THE furry on change
to-day in the wheat market was occasioned
by the sudden appearance in the market of
Archie Fisher as seller of wheat, presume
bly, on account of James Keene, who recent
ly bought great quantity of wheat III this
market. speedy decline followed his large
sales, which was only partially recovered at
the close. Fisher states to- night that he
sold about two million bushels but refuses
to state on what account it was sold. The
total sales for the day are said to be nearly
four mi lion dollars decline on April wheat
was 5a8 cents, on May 51s cents. Various
rumors we're afoat, but none were traced to
reliable source. The most generally accepted
was that forged order to sell had been sent
Fisher, with Keene's name signed, but this
did not secure much credence

Working Up the Case of Smith.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 7.-The Common
meaJM this morning contains the following
editorials 1t is understood that the inves
tiyating committee stopped taking testi-
mony at noon on Wednesday and that they
will make their report to the House to-day,
yet no action is taken in the case of Smith,
the Western Union Telegraph manager at
Topeka. This answer was referred to Mr..
Randolph's committee, on the 9th of Feb
ruary, over week ago. Why don't the
committee report? That answer was print
ed, and has been pretty generally read, and
it is regarded as a complete defense, not
only of Smith himself, but of the course
taken by the telegraph company. It is clear
that Mr.. Randolph's committee acted in I'm
due haste in reporting Mr.. Smith as having
refused to appear before the committee.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, March 1.-The resi-
dence Of Daniel Shaw, presidenct of the
Daniel Shaw Lumber company. in the lower
part of the city, was almost totally destroyed
By fire last night. The fra was first discov-
cred at a quarter before O'Clock, and being
situated about mile from the engine house,
it had made such rapid progress that tie
tiremen were only able to save the mere
shell of the building. Most of the furni-
ture was saved, although many articles of
value were lost in the hurry and confusion.
The house was one of the old landmarks of
the city, having been erected by Mr.. Shaw
soon after he came here, some fifteen years
ago. The fire first started in the wood
house, and its cause is unknown. The
building and furniture was insured for
$500, which probably covers a large part
of the loss.

New York Special, March ~
petition was yesterday put in circulation
for signatures among the prominent Catholic.
of this city, asking his eminence Cardinal Nc
Closkey to place himself at the head of a
national Catholic movement for the raising of
subscriptions to relieve the unfortunate arch
bishop of Cincinnati from his financial embar-
easements. The wisdom of such course is
questioned by many. So tremendous is the
burden of debt that many leading members
both OF the clergy and the laity deem it i'm
polite to the cardinal to give his countenance
Tor any movement until it is clearly
evident that the best attainable measures
of relief have been fonnd. The cardinal has
not yet seen fit to make any public expression
OF his sentiments. 1t is believed, however bv
those who know the opinions and desires of the
highest church circles, that the deplorable
event In Cincinnati will result in the proh1bi-
ton, by authoritative mandate, of the practice
of making the church depository for financial
trusts The Times correspondent called this
afternoon upon the editor of prominent
Catholic weekly to learn what measures of re-
lief are regarded here as most feasible and
what part the Eastern church is likely to take
in the work. Il have talked with many of the
clergy and with our leading business men ),
said the editor, "and have no doubt that the
matter will soon be presented to the Catholics

tion of such means as will accomplish the best
results. That matter is under discussion now.,'
DO you think a national movement to raise
relief funds by subscription will be started -
This will probably be one feature of the
scheme, but if effective relief is attained. ali
the usual appliances of the church for raising
funds must be enlisted. It is now perfectly
evident that the churches in the dioceses in
and about Ohio can contribute only COM
paratively small part of the relief needed and
to make national aid available will REQUIRE
plans of organization which will take some
time to perfect

tire debt?"
1T is hard to say how much can be DONE II

For the FARMER AND MECHANIC.
New Crops.

Among the new crops introduced in our
State during the past few years. which we
believe worthy of trial by our farmers gen
orally. are chufas, Egyptian or Pearl millet,
and Early Amber sugar cane. We have
given them all a trial the first. or chufas.
an extensive, the others a limited trial. We
wrote and spoke a great deal In favor Of
chutas last year, and now that we are rea-
lizing and seeing our ~neighbors realize the
present crop, we reatfirm our confidence in
this crop, and advise all farmers to give it a
trial. Some parties planted them this year
on poor land without manure of any kind,
and besides failed to work them. To all
such we say you had best quit unless you
mend your ways. Lit IS true this crop has
been affected by drought in many sections,
even in my own section it is not more than
half what it was last year. Yet at this it
will pay far better than any other crop we
have cultivated. We believe, at a cost Of
fifty dollars on this crop, that we will rea
he the equivalent of one hundred barrels of
corn, and we will not gather any for sale
either. Relative to the fears entertained by
some that they are a great eXhauster OF land
we can only say as good cotton as We have
seen this year Is now growing on land we
planted In chutas last year, and we use no
guano either.
We made a few gallons of syrup from the
Early Amber sugar cane. and for richness of
flavor and beauty Of color we have meyer
seen it surpassed. 1t is earlier and smaller
than other canes, but will yield about as
much to the acre. The Egyptian or Pearl
millet yields forage most abundantly. From
one seed, when planted in good strong land,
we frequently see ID to 20 stalks shoot up.
When about = feet high it may be cut down.
1t can be moved about three times during
the season. A few rows across the garden
will supply a COW or horse from July 10th
to September Goth. Either or all of these
are worthy Of trial by any one who
will give them good cultivation. No seed
for sale. Ii. c. OLIVE.
