Nova Scotia People Not Concerned d
About the Schooner Seizure.

Nova Scotia People NOT COncerned
About the Schooner Seizure,
HALIFAX, N. S., May 25.-As the schooner
Sisters was seized at Portland for violation of
American customs laws, it is not probable
that the people of Nova Scotia will attach any
Importance thereto, or show the slightest de.
gree of excitement. In ordinary times such
an event would have no interest except to
those Immediately concerned. The affair oc-
casions no excitement here.
FISHERMEN PLEASED.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, May 25.-The fisher
men here were much elated when the news
came that Nova Scotian vessel had been
seized at Portland. Dispatches from Nova
Scotia indicate that extra eXertionS are being
made there to be in readiness to seize some Of
the American mackeral catchers when they
arrive during the first part of June.

BIG STONE FARMERS.
An Interesting Institute Session at
OrtOnVille.

OrtOnVille.
Special to the Globe.
ORToNvILLE, MIMI, May 25.-This was the
opening day IF the Farmers institute and the
attendance was large. J. G. Gregg of Lyon
county opened the session with very learned
and able address upon dairy farming in Min
nesota. He has very pleasing and effective
way Of illustrating his subjects by diagrams,
so all can comprehend his meaning. His
strong points were that Minnesota has the
most favorable climate for dairying, the best
feed and the best general equipments,
so that with proper care in the selec-
ton of breeds Minnesota ought to make
the very best butter and cheese in the world.
In the afternoon w. ID. Hoard, president of
the Northwestern Dairymen's association,
spoke on the dairy COW as a speciality. His
description of such COW was so graphic that
the verieSt amateur in such matters could
hardly go wrong in the selection of q dairy
COW. The Jersey and the Guernsey, he said,
are the best for butter, the Holstein for
cheese, and for beef the shorthorns and
Herefords. nThere is no such thing as best
COW for several purposes. Each
breed has its points of excellence,
but you can't combine them. Mr.. Hoard
was followed by Dairy Commissioner
Rice, who went over the oleomargarine ques-
lions and reviewed the struggle in the courts
that had been made to crush it, and closed
with
AN EARNEST HOPE
that congress and a judicious state legisla-
ture would pass laws that would event
ually thoroughly do away with the evil. At
the close of the afternoon session the speak
ers and directors accepted an invitation from
Hon. G. X. Orion for short fishing excursion
in his steam yacht, returning in time for tea.
The party had captured nearly 150 pounds of
fish. A vote of thanks was rendered Mr.. Or
ton for the courtesy extended. The even
ing session was addressed by H. E. Hoard

An Awful Affair.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May ga dispatch
was received from Rhinelander, in the
northern part of this state, that house of
ill-fame about mile from that village, was,
together with four of the inmates, destroyed
by fire at an early hour yesterday morning
A fifth escaped alive but is so badly burned
that his life is despaired of. The dead are:
A. J. Smith, keeper of the place; Maggie
Conville. Dan Doyle and woman reputed
to be Doyle's wife. William Clark is
fatally burned. 1t is thought the fire was
the work of an incendiary, and two per-
sons who escaped from the burning build
ing were arrested but were dismissed for
lack of proof by the coroner's jury.

The following should teach young
people the danger Of making love on
tombstones:
A young couple were strolling through
the Western Cemetery in Portland, Me,
Monday, when the mouldering wood
work over large tomb gave way, and
they fell sixteen feet downard among
the dead. The tomb had not been
opened for many years and was filled
with bodies. The unfortunate couple
were alone in the cemetery and could do
nothing except to try to make them
selves heard, and at last Mr.. James
Mcdonald went to their assistance and
found them wedged in between cofins.
Had the accident occurred little later
they might have remained for hours in
this terrible place of confinement, as
very few persons visit that part of the
grounds. Both were badly injured, and
the young lady received what is feared
may prove to be q great mental as well
as physical shock.

"The Rice Fields of Carolina" is the
title of an illustrated article by Hugh
n. Starnes, which is to appear in the
Southern Bivouac for November. The
methods prevailing on the rice planta-
tons are described at length and all the
various processes in rice culture are
carefully illustrated. The subject is
one OF unusal interest and the article is
the best of the series on Southern in
dustries appearing in the Bivouac:

Ouachita Telegraph: We are graft
fed to state that the crusade inaugura-
ted here against miscegenation has not
been without success. Several parties
who have been living openly with ne
gro women have become impressed
with the enormity of the sin they were
committing against Anglo Saxon race
purity and with the fact that society
has some rights which must be respect
ed, and have voluntarily abandoned
their evil ways. There are several
hardened cases, however, who persist
in defying public opinion and the ques-
ton arises, how can they be prevailed
upon to heed thedemands of society--to
"read the hand writing on the walS' as
it were? We suggest such an organiza-
ton as that in Bossier parish. Let
whatever is to be done, be done openly
and within the pale of the law. A per-
sonal appeal, couched in earnest, strong
language, coming from a committee of
such an organization composed of good,
aw-abiding, respectable citizens, would
we submit, prove highly efficacious.

Figures are dry. but sometimes they
are interesting. For instance it is com
forting to know that the earthquake at
Lisbon in 1915 which killed 10000 per-
sons, was felt dangerously 2700 miles
and was family felt 1000 miles from its
seat Earthquakes travel fast even at
the rate of 14,OO0 feet a second, yet
electricity can beat that, for in 1870, the
time of the earthquake i'll Quebec, W ord
was sent to Montreal about it and
reached the latter city so seconds ahead
of the disturbance. Our own earthquake
reached from here to Illinois ON the
west, a distance of 700 miles, and Cana
da on the north distance ST 900 miles.
On the south it barely reached Florida,
so that in extent of territory it does not
equal the earthquake of February Sth,
1S42, for that was felt in IA direct line go
or 70 miles in width from the mouth OF
the Amazon to the coase@wfA6o Caro-
lima, distance of 5000 miles. In the
frequency of shocks we are, no doubt,
an object of envy to the citizens of
Lima, where they have on an average
OF forty shocks year They are so used
to having their buildings thrown down
or cracked that it has no more effect on
them than our equinoctial gales have
on US.

The demagogue who recently said
sia than in America, should note re-
cent cablegram, which says that hun
dreds OF women in st. Petersburg
would be glad to accept work at 20
copecks a day. Twenty copecks is
about equal to 10 cents, and the pur-
chasing power of 10 cents in St. Peters
burg is not greater than that Of cents
in New York. We eare not all that we
should be in America, but one strong
indication that we shall be SO, some
time or other, is to be found in the fact
that we are conscious of our imperfec-
ton. But, as compared with any ott el
nation, we are in condition to arise

WHAT BRINGS THE EMIGRANTs.

People are apt to lay too much stress on
the soil and products as the main factor in
bringing emigrants to this portion of the
state, and leave out the very important one
of health, which really has as much TO dc
with pointing the steps of the home-seekel
as anything else. In every other country
where rich soil is extant, health is on q
lower ebb than the less favored soil. The
rich river lands of the middle states were
settled at a very great sacrifice of human
life, and almost every old settler was racked
half to death by the torturing pains of ague
and his mind almost dethroned of its reason
by miasmatic fevers.
This is not the case in the rich and fertile
Valley of the Arkansas, but on the contrary,
the reverse in the case. The atmosphere is
clear, healthy and invigorating; the soil i.
rich, fertile and inexhausta5le The death
rate i. lower than in any section of the west
and health is the prevailing characteristic OF
Of Southern Kansas. 1t was an old saying
among the old trappers ard pioneers of thi:
section that white MAN never died here
sunless he was struck by thunder ard light
ming"
These reflections are drawn from statistics
Of the death rate of the past year as gained
from the reports Of the superintendent OF
the cemetery, which is the recepticle of all
the oead of not only the city but large
portion of the county. The astonishingly
low figures presented can only be credited
by citizens who know the past record of the
deaths of the city.
The whole number Of burials during the
year Of 1885 were, l76, of this number l0l
were children, leaving but IS adults. lie,
this be borne in mind when the attractive.
ness of Sedgwick county is discussed, that
the lowest death rate is shown here than ir
any portion of the United States for the
number of inhabitants.

RIDING SCHOOL.

The rink was open last night for its riding
lessons,and though the weather was bad and
the night being the first lesson, there was a
good deal of interest taken in thu horseman-
ship going on. The floor of the rink has
been covered with sawdust and is really a
very eommodious ampitheatre, splendidly
adapted for the purposes Professor Pasahro
has adapted it for. The ladies and gentle
men there last night receiving instruc-
tons were being drilled in all forms of
style, double and platoon riding. The
horses were nicely caparisoned and being all
blooded saddle horses made an excellent
appearance. The rink hiss capacity for
forty mounted students, and under the
splendid guidance and command of the
professor that place will become quite the
attraction of the season. A splendid band
was playing lively airs last night ard a real
good time was had. The ponies were rode
by two little girls who are taking Lessons
and number of classes will be formed to-

ADELAIDE MOORE.

Probably the greatest event Of the pres
emit theatrical season will be the appearance
of the great English actress, Adelaide
Moore, who is supported by her own superb
legitimate company of twenty-three people,
will be seen here on next Friday and Satur-
day nights, January 9Th and 9th, upon
which occasions she will produce Shake
speare's charming creation Of "As You Like
It," and Romeo and Juliet" To speak of
the merits of so distinguished an artist as
this lady would be, to say the least, super
Huous. Let it suffice to say that she has not
only brought all England to her feet, but
has captured critical New York city and all
other places in this country that she has
visited. Her tour has assumed the form of
one tremendous ovation. The press unites
in speaking of her as wearing nobly the
mantle let fall by the death of the lamented
Adelaide Nelson, which is certainly the
highest praise which could be melted out to
any actress. Miss Moore bears q very
strong personal resemblance to the late Ade-
laide Nelson. whose friend, pupil and pro-
tege she enjoyed the distinction of being.
She is an earnest, worthy woman, a devout
church member who stands on her merits
alone, and has not sought cheap nsteriety
at the expense of her good name by undue
associations with wealthy and Babylonian
libertines as was the case with the "Lang-
try" The American tour is under the d.
rection of that prince of managers, Mr..
Harry 1. Sargent, who will be remembered
as having brought "Modyeska," "Phea,"
"Ianish" and several other celebrities to
this country. The supporting company is
one of the strongest ever organized for the
production of the legitimate on the road.
The ladies have quite treat in store for
them as Miss Moore will display some mag
niicent costume made by Worth. of Paris,
and Mathews & Co., of London and Berlin.
Although the usual price of admission is
Sl.50 the management has wisely decided
not to increase the usual prices here, blu.
will leave them at IS and so cents with the
best reserved seats at Sl.0O, and it is safe to
predict crowdeG houses.

RUNAWAYS,

Two runaways occurred yesterday on
Douglas avenue. One was the team of Fred
Bruhn. which is grocery delivery team.
The horses got away and ran east on Doug
las avenue, upsetting the wagon and spilllng
its contents in the street. The fore wheels
got loose from the other gearing and the
frightened horses made Log time along the
streets. A wagon came along and the
wreck was picked up.
The other team was not SO badly damaged
but was ready to run, all the same.
