Who Mrs. Grundy Was.

Who was Mrs. Grundy2 1t seems
strange, indeed, that so little should be
known about the antecedents of Mrs.
Grundy, no is always so anxious to
know about other people; but the fact
must be admitted that Mrs. Grundys
origin is cnveloped in the profoundest
mystery. Nobody knows who she was
or how she first entered society She
was not even a character in play like
the immortal Mrs. Malaprop. She first
made known her existence to the public
ON the 9th of February, 1900, in drama
entitled "Speed the Plow," by Thomas
Morton, where one of the characters al
ludes frequently to her mysterious inhu-
ence by the words, what will Mrs.
Grundy sayl" Beyond this nothing is
known of her. There is, of course, the
possibility that she was the wife of Sol
ONION Grundy, of the nursery rhyme, who
was born on Monday, christened on Tues
day. etc., and got through his existence
on Sunday; for the rhyme expressly says
that Solomon was married on Wednes-
day. Perhaps Solomon Grundy was a
solar myth, and Mrs Grundy something
of the same kind. Thomas Morton is,
unfortunately, dead, and he has carried
his secret to the tomb; and once more
the world, which knows so little about
its greatest men, will be deprived of all
further knowledge of one of its most in
teresting women,

THE FARMING INTERESTS,
Annual Report of the COmmissioner
of Agriculture.

Commissioner George B. Loring, of the
department of agriculture, has submitted
his annual report to the President In addi-
tion to Mr., Moffat, whose communications
from London upon the trade and industry Of
Europe have been extensively published
there are 1900 correspondents of the depart
ment in this country, who are constantly
furnishing the materials for stat
lsical estimates Of the bureau.
The report of the statstcan shows
increased from S30O010,0 600 to $500, 900, 900; of
corn from $3.50, $50 SIS to 1904, S17,3 4: of
wheat from 1924 ,G35, So to $43G, 90S, 1853; of

products from Sl52350, 600 to S352, 800, C0J; of

United States can be little short OF l,O00, 000-

markets, and not of the Eastern commercial
cities or ports of expectation.
The present years history of crop growth
IN the statistical bureau indicates produc-
ton above the average. The cotton crop has
been injured by the drouth, yet it promises
to exceed 100000 bales, Corn apparently
averages twenty-six bushels per acre which
is about the average of the prior
period of ten years, giving a crop
not heretofore exceeded in abso-
lutte quantity. Wheat has made a yield
OF fully thirteen bushels per acre, and pro-
duct exceeding five hundred millions. The
| supply of cereals will average fully fifty

kinds are fairly abundant, and other products

AN EDITOR SHOT,
Assaulted on the Spot Where His
Brother Was Killed.

Michael ii. De Young, proprietor Of the
San Francisco Chronicle was shot in the
lie t arm and shoulder by Adolph Spreckels
son of Claus Spreckels, the Hawaiian sugar
king. The affair grew out of long-con-
tinued series of attacks made by the Chronicle
ON Claus Spreckes in connection with
the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty, the Hawai-
ian Steamship company .and the Hawaiian
commercial company, in all of which
Spreckels was interested. The bitter feeling
existing between Spreckels and De Young
was increased by the fact that the former ex-
crcsed strong influence in turning the
German vote against a relative Of De Young
who was candidate for county clerk in San
Francisco at the late election, and who was
defeated.
Young Spreckels followed De Young
rs he entered the Chronicle office and ac-
costed him. De Young turned and on recog.
nizng Spreckels attempted to draw his re-
volver. Before he could do so young Sprecb-
els fired, striking him in the left arm A
second bullet struck De Young in the shoulder
and he fell to the floor. A clerk in
the Office of the Chronicle who witness the
shooting drew his revolver and firel at
Spreckels, wounding him slightly in the left
arm. Other clerks rushed forward and
seized Spreckels before he could fire in return.
The police at this moment rushed in
and prevented further shooting Spreck-
els was arrested and released on bail
De Young was taken home in a carriage. His
wound is painful one the bullet having en-
tered at the shoulder joint De Young fell on
the exact spot where his brother Charles fell
when he was killed four years ago by Isaac
NJ. Kalloch, Jr. In 1879 Rev. Isaac S Kal-
loeb, then the Workingmens candidate for
mayor, was shot and dangerously wounded
by Charles De Young. The De Youngs had
attacked kalloch in their paper, rejecting on
his family, and Kalloch had retaliated in
kind. Kaloch recovered and was elected
mayor
April "a, 1850, young Kalloch, a son of the
Mayor, entered the Office of the Chronicle
and began firing at Charles De Young. He
fired several times Intellectually, but the last
shot entered De Youngs mouth, lodging in
his brain. He died in few moments A re-
newal of the old quarrel between De Young
and the elder Kallo ii was the cause of the
difficulty. Young kalloch was acquitted
after a long trial on the plea of insenity.
