The re- port recommends modified scale of fees, which would lessen the costs, and the adoption of "postal notes" for sums under $5 at the fee of five cents.
 While the early part of the season was discouraging to tobacco growers this fall has been exceptionally favorable for curing the crop. The reports from diff ferent parts of the State would indicate that the quality would more than make up for quantity, in this years crop. The Homestead, in Q long article on Sumatra tobacco, observes: 'New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin to- bacco growers are beginning to move in this matter though no organized effort to secure favorable legislation has yet been made in those states. They will probably fall in line with New Eng land, and then when the next congress comes to consider the tariff question, there will be such demand from the | tobacco growers of the United States as congress will not dare to refuse. The result will be a heavy duty that will pre- vent the Sumatra tobacco grown with cooly labor from competing with the product of the hardworking American farmer" It is probable that petitions to congress asking heavy tariff on Su- matra tobacco will be circulated ill Con- necticut for signatures, within short time. There is also probability that the tariff commission will hold hearing on the question, possibly in Hartford.

 Stone in thu Bladderis very dangerous afl. ment: but many most remarkable cures have o1 late been wrought by "Kennedy's Favorte Reme- dy"-the invention ol Dr. Kennedy of Rom dout N. Y. Another striking case is now added to the list. MT. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass., states in letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had be n troubled with bladder complaint for l4 years, and had consulted at different times seven physi. clans; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the rrin had been worked. Towards the end of last January MT. Lawler called on Dr. Ken- nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone.s He decided thut Mir. Lawer should first try the "Favorte Remedy" 80 us, if possible, to avoid an operation. Aud hero is the remarkable result; 'Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home I passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones will send them to you." This letter oears date "Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th," and is signed "Peter Lawler." The stones, which are SO large es to war rant for "Kennedys Favorite Remedy the claim that it is the most successful specific for Stone yet discovered are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession.

Southern Indiana is the scene of one of the
most horrible murders in the history of that
state and the details are given by the con-
fession of the assassin, his mother and broth
er who are all safely lodged in the county
jail at Richmond. David II. Smith, an aged
farmer who lived near Richmond, was killed
Jan. 10th by his son Daniel, aud his body was
found few days after under 10 feet of water
in an abandoned well near his house. 1t ap-
pears that there had long been a feud be-
tween the old man and his wife and sons
Not long ago Dan traded one of his fathers
horses without his knowledge, and a dispute
followed which SO enraged the son that be
laid deliberate plans in which he was un-
doubtedly aided by his mother and brother
to get the old man out of the way. Accord
ing to his story, he followed him into the
yard and, with a revolver which he had calm
ly put in perfect order for his bloody work.
shot him three times in quick succession, and
then, dragging him dead to the unused well,
threw him in. Mrs. Smith says that Dan call
ed TO her as soon as he had shot, asking her
to help him drag the dead man away, but
she says indiferently, 81 refused 10 help him."
The murderer's brother, Jake, says that he
was cutting wood at the time of the murder
and did not know of it until Dan said with an
oath, "Fve shot him and put him in the well
and he'll never bother us any more"
smith was soon missed by his acqualntances,
and, as the family troubles were well known
and Dan had publicly threatened to kill his
father, foul play was at once suspected and a
large party of men went with officers to
search the premises. The family answered
questions evasively and tried to appear in
different while the party, dividing the search,
examined the house and Out-buildings,
until the we'll was sounded and the old mans
decaying body found. When it was raised to
the surface the wife and sons feigned grief
and surprise but their attempts were of no
avail, aud the next day they confessed. Not
long before his murder Smith told q lawyer
the sad story of his life at home. A pain
racked, infirm old man, he had been abused
in all conceivable ways by his wife and chill
dren. The whole story of hiS life and death
would scarcely be credited if il was not Of
ioially told. The community in which he
lived is still excited over the crime, and his
unnatural son narrowly escaped lynching.

A 1uI.,ory Of the Nation. Debts.

One of the many interesting features of the
forthcoming census report will be history
Of public debts, national, state and local "
An abstract Of the former has already been
given to the press. It shows that the total
indebtedness of the United States when the
Constitution went into operation was S52,-
7ss, 722 O3. When the new Government went
into operation Mr.. Hamilton, Secretary of the
Treasury, was not only without revenues, but
without laws designed to bring money TO the
treasury. He borrowed money to pay the first
instalments of the salaries due the public Of
fcers. During the first session of Congress,
the first Uuited States bank was chartered
with capital Of $40 OOO, 900, $4,000, 600 of
which the Government took, and peid for
with money borrowed at per cent The
bank was so well managed that the Govern
ment realized profit on its shares of SO,
773, $50. In 179S the Government issued
S711, 700 of per cent stock to fit nine ships
for a navy. The same year 81, 900, 600 loan
was negotiated at per cent, and two years
later an 8 per cent loan sold at premium
Of % per cent. During the war of 1912 the
public debt was increased S6s, 7S3, ,l22. AG
per cent fifteen years loan, authorized in
March, 1916, sold at 95 per cent. to par. In
1916 the Government became stockholder
in a second United States bank to the amount
of $1,000, 600, from which with the loan paid
allied. In 1921 the public credit had 80 i'm
proved that per cent loan was sold at -
per cent premium. In 1886 the Government
was not only out of debt, but had large sur
plus, $2S, 101, GA OF which was deposited
with the several states, which was never re-
called. The next Congress, however, author
lied the issue of $4,000, 600 in treasury
notes, bearing per cent interest Before
1876, S47, 900, 600 Of treasury notes had been
issued. During the Mexican war $40, 600, 600
of and per cent bonds were issued, and
the premiums paid on the redemption of
these bonds was nearly 81, 600, OOO.t During
the Buchanan administration, the manage.
ment of the public finances could scarcely
have been worse than it was. Iu 1857 there
was a financial crash and the Tr a3ury issued
$52, 77S, 900 OF its notes. In 1858 lavish ap.
preparations and falling of in the revenues
compelled the Government to borrow 500
600, GOO Oh per cent. bonds upon which 8!
per cent. premium was realized. In Deem
Der, 1861, the credit Of the Government, in
consequence of the threatening attitude of
the Democratic leaders, was so impaired that
II per cent. was paid on a loan of -, $40, 600,
and offers were made at Is to 3G per cent be-
low par for 6 per cent. bonds The first loan
TO meet the expenses of suppressing the re-
bellion, bearing per cent. interest sold at
the average rate of $50 03 per 500. From
this time until June 80, 1865 Government
securities Of various kinds were issued to the
amount of IS, 1888, CSC, 575. This sum includes
bonds, legal tenders, Treasury notes, seven
thirties aud fractional currency.

Nobody who once saw him ever forgot him.
OF all Americans he was probably the most
imposing in his appearance. Others have
had a finer, loftier, more refined, more spir-
itual aspect, as there have been Americans of
a far higher essential greatness. But there
was a certain grandeur in Webster's look
which was incompatible. His Olympian
presence gave an air of significance and dig
nifty to whatever he said. We have heard him
deliver the most astonishing commonplace in
such a way that the audience seemed to be
listening to a new revelation of great truths.
He had the instinct which assured him that
the prosperity of the Grafton is in the eye and
ear of the hearer. OF the singular charm of
his private intercourse there are scores of
published records But the private circle of
friends seemed to be always little oppress-
ed by the consciousness of his greatness. His
manners were those of what is called the old
school. His dress upon great occasions was
that of the English wings, blue and buf-a
yellow waistcoat, and a blue dress.c coat with
brass buttons. Personally and politically he
will remain always, probably, the most strik-
ing figure of our second political epoch. He
succeeded Washington and Adams and Jetfer-
sou and Hamilton and Madison, but in abili-
ty and the genius of statesmanship he was
their peer. .-HdfpeT's Weekly.

An Instrument TO Transmit Scenes as
Ihe Telephone Does sounds.

A short time after the discovery Of the tel
ephone, an European electrician proposed to
transmit scenes in the same way. For the
past three years experiments have been made
to attain this end, but with the exception Of
Shelford Bidwell, a London engineer, they
have been unsuccessful. At the recent cleo
trical exposition at Paris Mr.. Bidwel exhib-
tied an ingenious instrument which he calls a
dioscope. The apparatus consists Of a small
objective lens fixed so as to command the OBJ
ject or scene of which an impression is to be
transmitted. This lens is connected by a
wire with q small white glass plate. Total
darkness having been obtained in the room
furnished with dioscope, it is claimed that
a perfect reproduction of the image shown in
the lens will be produced on the glass. The
distance is immaterial. So far all that has
been accomplished with this instrument has
been to make visible several letters of the
alphabet. Still, the more enthusiastic claim
that the time is not far distant when the own
er OF a telephone supplemented by dioscope
can spend an evening at the opera in his
dressing gown and slippers, seated in his
easy chair, with one eye and one ear closed.
