A HOPEFUL SIGN.
CIarksville Tobcco Leaf,


1t is hopeful sign for the farming in
terests of Tennessee that farmers are
taking steps to improve their condit ion.
In West Tennessee cotton has been
planted year after year, and looked to
as the only means of securing cash, un-
til the lands have been in many. places
worn out. So in this part of the State.
SUGGESTIONS of tobacco crops haye i'm
poverished the lands. A change, grad.
ual, it may be, in these two sections
must be had, or the farmer can not look
to that Improvement so much desired.
Other crops must to q great extent take
the place of cotton in West Tennessee
and tobacco in this section. There
must be more bard work on the farm.
Many farmers are land poor. They own
large numbers of acres of worn lands,
which require expensive labor to culti-
vate, and the crops when produced are
of inferior qualities. Tennessee farm
ers need to look to the improvement of
their farms. 1t requires no more labsr
to cultivate rich tract of land than a
tract worn out and impoverished. Bet
ter far have small farm which can be
easily cultivated by the labor which
can be secured and SO increase the quail
ity of the crops raised than to expend
all the profits fer labor required to cul-
tivate q large amount of barren lands.

The suit of May Alice AlmOnt Liv-
ingstone against Henry Fleming, the
wealthy young oil broker, of New
York, has been compromised. She
sued him for breach of promise to mar
ry and the jury, after a rather sensa-
tional trial, awarded her $3.50, 900 dam
ages. After the verdict there was a
motion for new trial on the grounds
that the damages were excessive and
that importan new testimony, very
damaging to Miss Livingstone, had
been discovered. A New York dis
patch of the 10th says that Fleming
has agreed to pay a large amount, but
how large he will not say, the attor-
ney for Miss Livingstone having asked
that he shOusd not. n 4tr

The Anti-HIonOpOIists-L Times even
 Without Denis Kearney.
 CHICAGO, July 5.-At the anti-monopoly convention, which opened here yesterday, 250 delegates are in attendance, John B. Henry, of Brooklyn, being the permanent chairman. Denis Kearney has been refused admission to the convention, and declares he will have convention of his own. The sec ond days session was called to order at Il o'clock. Expressions of regret with refer ence to the disorderly proceedings of yester- day were rife amongst the delegates and many hopes were expressed that to day business would be more free of strife. Chair man John J. Henry, of Brooklyn, said that he had seen the city newspapers had pre- dicted stormy time for to day with possi- ble breakup and free fight before the close
 It was the duty of the conference to let the newspapers and the world see that every one was here with a duty to perform and not for tumuIt and disorder. A communication was received from the anti monopolists of Ore gon hoping that the conference would be conducted in a manner that would strike terror to the hearts of the-of6cers of greedy and soullesl u1 1crations. Letters of sim liar nature from the central once or the Peoples body of New York, 0. c. Carter, the head Of the anti monopoly movement in New 1 Jersey, and others were read, drawing forth hearty rounds of applause. Mir. Anderson, of Michigan. moved that vote Of the con yention be taken on tho formation of the 1 new party. Mir Barnes, of Nebraska, moved ! that every subject be dropped un-

til the question of the suppression of
 all kinds of monopoly, especially railroad
 monopoly, be settled. A dozen delegates
 jumped simultaneously to their feet, all anx-
 Ious to speak on the tariff question. Sam
 uel Keller; of Iowa, yelled until he gained
 the recognition of the chair, then sprang
 upon the platform and denounced the state or things at present existing as diabolical, outrageous and damnabIe. The present tariff system was denounced as 8 scheme of robbery and jobbery and the delegates from Iowa, the gentleman averred, tshad not come here to keep their jaws shut.' MT. Wolff, of New York, amidst cries of ssSit down!"
 AShut upi' implored the convention to leave the tariff alone and confine themselves to anti nti-monopoly, saying it was suicide to drag in another question.
 At the afternoon meeting of the anti-monop- oly conference Revs. M. DeLamatyr and ". Fish of New York, Keiner of the same place and J. Dodge of Washington made rambling speeches on greenbackism and other ques- tions.
 The platform adopted tonight opposes the issue and control of the currency by banks of issue, and demands Q restoration to the peoples govern ment of it's full sovereignty over all money; favors the coinage of gold and silver on equal terms; demands that the na- tional banking system be abolished; asks that postal savings banks be established, and that the patent laws be amended to protect in- ventors, denounces the present tariff as favoring monopolies, and promises not to enter into any alliance with the Democratic pr Republican parties.

EGYPT.

The Cholera Epidemic-suez Canal Stock
 Depressed Thereby-POor Sanitary Reg
 uIatiOns i'm the Infected Places.
 LONDON, July 5.-The cholera outbreak in Egypt has had the effect of reducing the value..of the Suez Canal.company's stock and of throwing some blocks of it on the market, although for years such of it as was not held by the French, Egyptian or English govern ments has been held by small group of in dividuals who have jealously held it back from the market. The original cost of the shares was e2o, but their market value has increased to e1OO and on this valuation paid about ? per cent. The decline in values to- day was due to the report from Cairo that reports by telegraph from Port Said had ceased, that the operators. of whom there were only three, were ill or dead. and that the epidemic had become so serious that the canal company refused longer to make any official statement of the deaths occurring. A Cairo despatch says that there has been no telegraphic communication with the Mediter ranean entrance to the canal for two days. Before that time there had been regular daily reports of cholera losses of six or eight per- sons day. and although the town of Port OnAA 4S SAAdAA eAoS0 u0Sp6tcAo6 "0AO AAAoSA ooO- ed. The temporary closing of the canal or even the serious interference that the cpl demic cannot fail to make for 8 month or two is certain to lower the value of the stock materially.
 The Times correspondents in Egypt charges the blame for the cholera ravages on the Khediye's governmentand the careless ignor- ance of local officials. Large numbers of dead animals are floating in the Nile, and un- til within 8 few days there have been no physicians at Damietta and there have been neither disinfectants or the most simple medicinal remedies. The san itary precautions are still entirely inadequate and the much talked of sanitary cordon can be passed readily by free use of ''bocks- heesh." The carriages that are one day used to carry the dead, the dying or the sick ply the next day on public call. England must insist on an efficient force of capable physi- eians being sent to Danietta where people are dying by hundreds. The city is being de, populated and the end of the plague cannot be predicted.

Death of Archbishop Purcell.


 CINCINNATI, July 5.-Archbishop Purcell died last night at St. Martins, o. He was able just before death to give some tokens of recognition to his friends. His death was peaceful and apparently without physical pain. Slight convulsions appeared toward the end and in one of these he passed away. The body will be embalmed and taken to Cincinnati Friday afternoon, where it will lie in state in the cathedral residence until Mon- day, when it will be taken into the cathedral. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday at a. m- The burial will be at St. Martins where his mother, brother and sister are buried.
 John Baptist Purcell was born at Marlow, county Cork, Ireland, February 26, 1900. He was educated at Emmettsburg, Md, and at Paris, where he entered the Catholic priesthood in 1926. From 1929 to 1883 he was president of St. Mary's college at Elm mettsburg, Md, in 1883 he was consecrated bishop of Cincinnati and in 1850 was made the first archbishop of Ohio. He attended the council in Rome in 1869, where he op- posed the scheme of infalibility; but after returning he fell in with the rest of the Catholic world in accepting it.
 The latter years of the archbishop were made miserable by the memorable financial disaster that overlook him. He is believed to'have suffered from disappointment because the first American cardinRlate did not come to him, but this shadow on his ambition did not disturb his peace as did his financial failure. Father Edward Purcell, brother of the archbishop, is alleged by some author ities to have been the cause, by careless and inefficient system of fnanciering. of the trouble. He received deposits from Catholics without carefully recording them and judi ciously investing them. The funds were drawn upon at will by the archbishop for building the cathedral in Cincinnati and for church edifices wherever they were asked for. In the fall of 1878 the crash came and de- positors with Father Purcell undertook to get their money. The first hesitation about restoring it created panic and thus the archbishop was quickly overwhelmed. He sent his resignation to Rome but it was not accepted. He held his high office until his death. The deficiency in the financial disas ter amounted to fully $4, GOO, 900.

The InsurrectiOn i'm Albania-Inform ma
 tion Held Back by the Government.
 CoNsTANTINoPLE, July 5.-The Turkish government is keeping back the facts con- nected with the insurrection in Albania, and the reports given out from official sources are not only mistrusted, but positively dis believed. Despite the statement that the revolutionary movement had been quelled, it is known that Turkish achievements have been sent west and also that the government forces near Tusi find themselves placed in a very critical, if not fatal, position. The most reliable information comes through the dispatches received at the embassies These say that the fighting between the Turkish forces and the tribes on the Albanian border continues on an important scale and that the disafection and agitation is spreading with great rapidity throughout the entire prov ince. So anxious was Hafiz Pasha to gain possession of Tusi, g point of considerable strategic importance, that he sent his advance guard across Lake Scutari in boats without waiting to take possession of the road The Albanians took the road and the most advantageous positions on the lake and have cut off the Tusi garrison from all communi- cation with the main body of troops. It is probable that they will all be murdered. The government fears that if the facts become known they may furnish an excuse for re- newed interference by the powers.

He passes over in silence the of fensive portions of the letter-is ''unabls to perceive the pertinency'' of their statistical statements he has the official reports on his table, and says that his right of visitation is matter about which he does not require to be informed. What is needed to bring about more satisfactory state of things is not visitation but obedience: Hehas been SO patient with them that some have accused him of timidity, but his love has walked hand in hand with an infexible purpose to vindi- cate the sschurch's laws" MT. Ritchie has apologized to him for 'funkind and disre- spectable words' and has been forgiven The bishop is rejoicsd that his correspondents re- fer to his s'rightful authority in things doubt fur' and invokes upon them the spirit of s'godly quietness'' p Mr. Ritchie's resignation is referred to without comment.
