JERSEY lightning must have been on a

state yesterday.
AMERICAN vessels used to do little of
the carrying trade of New York, but last
year Of the eight million dollars paid for
freights on grain from that port not sin
gle dollar was paid to any vessel flying the
American flag. Great Britain is still gain
ing in rank as the ocean carrier, and the
next to her is Norway, although tine latter
furnishes no steamships.
THE disgraceful brawl that enllvened
yesterdays proceedings in the lower
branch of the New Jersey Legislature was
more worthy representatives of the Prize
Ring than Of the people. The Mulhooly
element was largely represented aud the
"Tm agin him" of the political rough was
supposed to be conclusive. Verify, in
these latter days Drawn is becoming

THERE is pleasing interest il not q
manifest moral in the story of a newly
hired grocery clerk in Peoria Ills, who
was presently called upon for a quart of
vinegar. He went to barrel and filled
the measure. That afternoon the mer
chant was surprised to find that all his
customers in the neighborhood were max
ing run ON vinegar. At the last
moment, when it was too late, he found
that the new clerk was selling vinegar
from the whisky barrel.
In the ways and means committee, yes
terday, the chairman was directed to ap-
| point two sub committees of five members
each, one to have charge of all bills relat-
ing to the creation of tariff commission,
the other to consider all bills proposing
changes in the internal revenue laws. Mr..
Randall requested the members to care
fully examine the bill introduced by him
and now before the committee relating to
the refunding of a portion of the national
debt, as he desired to have it considered at
the next meeting.
As a further manifestation of German
feeling in this country in regard to the re
script OF Kaiser Wilhelm, it is mentioned
that private meeting of well-known per-
sons who are exiles from Berlin, was held at
hotel in Hoboken, with a view-itis un'
derstood-of completing arrangements for
the great mass meeting in New York city,
to sympathize with the friends of liberty
at home. Among them are Herr Goegg,
the celebrated revolutionist, and friend OF
Victor Hugo, Garibaidi and CASTELAR,. An
other is DR.. Kudlich. The proceedings
were secret, but in due time the public
will be acquainted with results. Two ad-
dresses will be issued. one to the friends of
freedom in the fatherland, the other to
sympathising Americans and the defenders
Of human rights everywhere.

The Watermelon District of Missouri,


The St. Louis Republican gives some
account of the melon district of Missouri.
1t is in Scott and Mississippi counties,
and takes in a stretch of country about
twenty-five miles in length by twelve in
soil, underlaid with bed of sand, in
feet. The roots of the vines penetrate the
subsoil easily, and draw from it an ex-
haustless supply of moisture. About
10000 acres were in cultivation last season
and the shipped product was l, 454 car
loads-about half a crop. The average
yield in a good season, is a carload to the
acre, the price ranging from $50 to 500
per carload. The crops are sold on the
ground to purchasers who visit the dis
trict, gather the melons, load them in cars
and make their own arrangements with
the railroads. The farmers have nothing
to do with this part of the business. The
rates charged by the railroads last season
were To Cincinnati and Chicago by
the Illinois Central, $55 per car by
the Iron Mountain, $50 per car :;
to Cleveland, SIS per car to New Orleans,
S65 per car to St. Louis, $25 per car.
Melon lands rent for 81 to S6 par acre.
The following examples of individual
crops are given F. Ostner of Dichistadr
shipped from 130 acres 80 car loads, which
brought him SO, 600. The highest price lie
received for car load was 1928, and the
lowest s22. Average price, $50. Henry
Misefeld shipped Is car loads from 81 acres,
which yielded him s1,50O. Peter OLSON
cultivated so acres and received for tho
first 10 car loads 81, ,050. w. Thomas sold
20 car loads from 35 acres, for $1,000.
Edw. Gibson planted 60 acres and sold his
crop for 81, 100. 1t will be admitted that,
considering the drouth of last summer,
which, it is estimated, cut the crop short
one-half, these are very satisfactory re-
suits for work which lasts only about
four months, and involves little or no ex-
penditure of money. Only about one
fiftieth Of the melon district was cult.
vated last season.

\ Drunken Mans Crime.

Floyd Holly visited Richburg. n. y,
tue new oil town in Allegheny county, and
became intoxicated. He went to bowl
ing alley, where George was fatally shot
by Whipple a few weeks ago, and fired
three shots into crowd present. The
ball struck Dowrie Wasson, and Holly i'm
mediately turned and started to run down
the street. Several persons pursued
him, among others Wasson, and the
latter soon overlook Holly and
struck him with a tcnpin, fell
ing him to the ground. Wasson
then threw up his hands which was the
first intimation his friends had of his be-
ing shot. He was taken on stretcher to
the hotel and his wounds was examined
by physician: 1t was found the ball en- :
tered the right side and passed through
and lodged in close proximity to the kid
neys. The wound was probed. but the
ball could not be extracted. Wasson is
still alive. but the physicians think the
wound will terminate fatally. Holly was
imprisoned, and after hearing was re-
committed. The only cause assigned for
the shooting is frenzy occasioped by
drink. The wounded mans wife and
mother reside at Meadville.

six feet in diameter, laid in hydrulic

"Suppose the pipe gets clogged?''
q If it once gets started there will be
no danger Of that. I know of no reason
why such a pipe should get clogged. That
reminds me of an experiment made with
natural gas taken from one of the PENN
sylvania oil wells. a factory, eighteen
miles distant, was to be lighted with the
gas. The owner of the factory, not know
ing whether the thing would be success,
did not care to goto the expense of dur
able pipes, so they bored logs and under
took to use the wooden pipe. When the
pipes were laid the gas would not pass
through them, in spite of the application
of enormous pressure. 1t was evident
that there was something wrong. Then
it leaked out that some rivals had plugged
the pipes with wooden plugs. When they
got the pipes clear they tried the expert
ment OF forcing an India rubber ball
through. Strange and almost incredible
as it may appear, that ball tr avelled the
entire eighteen miles in just sixteen Sec
onds-faster than 4 mile a second. We
expect to lay our iron pipe and to supply
anybody that needs gas between New York
and the coal fields. There is no reason
why one pipe should not go on to Boston
and the East. 1t is not anthracite gas,
nor gas from an oil well, nor natural gas,
but gas made in the ordinary way and
in the ordinary way through
very long pipes.''

There is one particularly interesting pas

Shipherd The representative of the
Peruvian Company, it seems, felt it was
his duty to call the Secretary's attention
to certain evidence on record affecting the
reputation of public officer serving
under Mr. Blaine We need not concern
ourselves with the character of this evil
denee. 1t was very damaging; If true,
the public officer serving under Mr..
Blaine was rascal and no mistake.
Il asked Mr.. Blaine" says Shipherd,
if he knew about these serious charges,
and especially about the adjudication of
the Supreme Court"
The energetic reply of Brother Blaine,
as we are told. was, sOh, bless your soul,
I went through these years and years ago.
l knew all about them, court report and
all; and, for my part, never could see
anything really out of the way in that
business. At any rate" added Brother
Blaine. lit is of no Importance, for Steve

times on that issue, with the whole record

No wonder Brother Blaine blessed Ship
