A friend of Murat Halstead relates
an interesting story concerning the
wife Jas. G. Blaine, Jr, He says Miss
Nevin studied for the operatic stage.
She had much talent, and as her peo-
pie we're not rich their friends raised
money to send her to Europe to COM
plete her musical education, Mnrat
Halstead was one Of her special cham
pions. He wrote to George W. Childs
describing the talent, beauty and
promise Of Miss Nevin, without mem
tioning her name, and asked him to
contribute to fund to send her to
Europe, Mr. Childs wrote back let
ter inclosing a check for $500, but
there was a condition attached to his
subscription. He was not to know the
name Of the recipient and she was
not to know his name. He added :
"If she is all you describe her l am
quite sure she will be married before
she ever reaches the operate stage"
A few days after the marriage of Mr..
Blaine, Jr., Mr.. Halstead wrote to Mr..
Childs saying, "0ur protege has gone
and done it. Your prophecy has
been fulfilled" 1t was in this letter
that Mr.. Childs first learned who was
the object of Mr.. Halstead's friendly
interest.

Agricultural Chunks.

With cropping, save among excep-
tional farmers, farms grow poorer;
with sheep they grow richer.
Colts and other young stock love
the fresh air and sunshine as much as
romping boys and girls.
To raise cattle you must get your
land in good condition. There's no
use talking about doing it on barren
fields.
When the turkeys are regular fed
every evening they learn to come
home, which is very good thing for
them TO do.
Some farmers get discouraged at
the low price of an article and stop
raising it; the best plan is to keep at
it and trust to the rise in price.
Most farmers have learned that cut
hay or even straw wet and sprinkled
with meal is better feed for working
horses than whole grain and hay.
Try to raise something Of almost ev-
erything, and hence if one thing fails
another comes out well. We don't
believe in putting all the eggs in one
basket
No soil, no matter how rich it may
be, is available for plant use until it is
very finely pulverized Hence, much
crushing, stirring and culture are nee
essary.
/ A man, to succeed at anything,
must give himself wholly to it; and
one reason so many farmers drag
along, barely keeping soul and body
together, is that they have no high
ideal of their calling.
He who intends 10 succeed in agri-
cultural must be an early man early
in rising, early in getting in his crops,
early in reaping them, early in meet
ing his men, early at fairs, early in
markets, early at home and early to
bed.
Grass responds surprisingly to top
dressings of manure or litter Of al
most any kind and perhaps manure
+, spread on growing grass is subject tc
less waste, goes farther and accom-
r plishes more than it does BY any other
mode OF application.
No good farmer will pasture hi.

i best farmers We know do not pastur,

The story Of the day-how majestic
in its simplicity, how comprehensive
in its significance. Betting the
globe, from point to point the current
ran, telling to all the nations of
the earth the consumation of long
anticipated incident in the marvellous
progress of new land to her place in
the community OF nations, wherein, so
long as time shall endure she will
shine radiant and benefcent in all
that is good and strong and lovely.
Interesting as the occasion was, it was
not so alone by reason of the personal
presence of the great artist who de-
signed and completed the statue, Bar
tholdi, attended as he was by men
whose names are known in every civ
ilized land as types OF the intellect
the enterprise, the pushing zeal which
combined, create empires and bind
them together by political as
well as comercial ties; moi
alone by reason of the per
sonal presence Of the Chief Magistrate
of the nation, surrounded by officers
OF the army and the navy high in rank
famed for their deeds-nor by reason
alone Of the extraordinary assemblagC
OF favored sons, Cabinet Ministers, Sen
ators, Governors, Mayors and dignita
ries OF varied names--all this was in
teresting, but by no means the chic
feature Of the day. That, by common
consent, must be conceded to the won
drous outturning-the unprecedented
outpouring Of the men, women an,

EDITOR STEAD ON IRELAND.
The Farmers More Urgent About Re
duced Rent Than Home Rule.
Disnafch fn TnE i,yfcN1Ne SrAR.

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE kvENING STAR
LONDON, Nov. S.-Mr. Stead, editor of the
Pal Mall Gazette, has been IN Ireland the past
six weeks Investigating chiefly the question OF
agricultural depression and the general issues
between landlords and tenants. He has been
in all parts OF the country and seen landlords
tenants. national leaguers and government
ofhcials alike, having been provided with cir
cuiar letter of introduction To the branches OF
the national league and recommendation from
the home secretary and Sir Michael Hicks
Beach. He is in London to-day, and his first
special commissioners report covers seven
columns of the Pal NdH Gazette. Ii begins by
saying that the problem in Ireland is not home
rule, but rent. There is no urgency in The
popular demand for the former. but il is the
latter which occupies public attention. Home
rule can wait till next year. Rent must he re-
duced this month. The references TO Ireland
as nation may serve as garnlshing for the
speeches OF agrarian agitator> but the one pract-
cal question Il how much OF the rent which falls
due ia November will be paid this month and
next Stead replies with great detail OF stalls
Ties ana reaches the result that, eliminating Tie
items OF nay aud potatoes, the losses OF the
Irish farmers in the two years 1850 ana 1Ss6
estimated upon the average returns of 1881 10
1854, amount roughly 10 thirteen and hali
millions sterling. This, he says, does not pre-
TEND To be more than a rough calculation which
assuredly does not err on the side Of eNagger;l-
tion but il enables us To form some idea oil the
ment of rent. In other words, ii the Irish ten

years, the TALL In prices would wipe out The

THE kALORAMA PROPERTY.
A Division Of the r Property Ask ed For
The Probable Action ON the Avenue
Extension.

hearing was had before the auditor of the
District to-day by the owners of the Kalorama
Heights property to secure division of that
property. AT present it is held in undivided
nfths and some of the owners wish to avail
themselves of the present opportunity and sell
the land. Mrs. Lovett is unwilling to sell the
fifth owned by her, but is willing to take the
equivalent of her share in land. For this
reason a partition of the property Is asked and
II this can be secured the property can be
placed on the market. 1t is situated on the
other side OF Boundary street directly in the
line of Massachusetts avenue extended, and in
the past Jew years it has become very valuable.
IL Is reported that as much $780, 900 has
been recently offered for this property, contain
ing some sixty acres. 1t is understood that the
owners propose to contest in the courts the right
OF the District Commissioners to extend Mass;-
chusetts avenue on the lines laid down through
their property. The owners object to the circle
with which II is proposed to mask the defiec-
ton IN tue line OF the avenue from being
located III the center OF their property. 1t is
stated that there is no objection to donating the
land needed tor the purpose, but it is proposed
to contest the right of the District authorities
TO use their land as they may desire in making
the extension. While no injunction has yet
been applied for it is stated that some action of
this kind will not be long delayed

HOW TEXAS RANCHMEN SETTLED A FEUD-oNE
SHOT DEAD.

CHICAGO. Nov. S.-A Times special from San
Antonio, Texas, says: Information has come
OF duel which TOOK place Friday afternoon i'll
Seavalla county between two wealthy ranch
men, Hiram Bennett and John Rumleld. The
men for several years were close friends. and
owned many cattle and sheep Jointly. About "a
year ago they dissolved business relations, and
O difficulty arose regarding the number oil cat
tie in a certain bunch, which figured in their
settlement a valuation ot $4,000. The breach
grew wider with time, each sending word that
ne meant to kill the other. Friday afternoon
the two ranchmen, with a few cowboys, hap
pened TO meet near the edge of the little village
OF Batesvile. They We're both horse back,
and carrying Winchesters. 1t was agreed they
should dismount and fire at the word of COM
mand from one OF the cowboys. They stood
about one hundred yards apart. Both were
crack shots, and each fired at the word. Ben
nett fell dead, with a bullet hole through his
brain. One report says Rumfield was wounded
in the thigh; another account says he is unin-
jured. No attempt has been made thus far to
arrest RumfieId, who is on his ranch and would
doubtless fight before being carried To Jail. The
dead mad was worth about quarter OF mil.
lion dollars. He leaves a family
