DISTRICT oF coLuNRIA.

The report of the Commissioners of the
District OF Columbia, with its accompany
ing documents, gives in detail the opera
tions of the several departments of the
District Government and furnishes evil
dence that the financial affairs of the
District are at present in such satisfactory
condition as to justify the Commissioners
in submitting to Congress estimates for de-
sirable and needed Improvements. The
Commissioners recommend certain legisla-
ton which in their opinion is necessary to
advance the interests of the District. in
vite your special attention to their request
for such legislation as will enable the Com
missioners, without delay, to collect a d.
gest and properly arrange the laws bv
which the District is goveined-and which
are now embraced in the several collections
making them available only with great diff
hculty and labor-the suggestions that they
make touching desirable amendments to
the laws relating to license granted for car
rying on the retail traffic in spirituous IL
quors; TO the observance of Sunday; to the
proper assessment of taxes to the speedy
punishment of minor offenders, and to the
management of the reformatory and chari-
table institutions supported by Congress
ional appropriation. All are commended
to your careful consideration.
| again call attention to the present in
convenience and the danger to life and
property attending the operation OF steam
railroads through and across the public
streets and roads of the District The pro-
priety of such legislation as will properly
guard the use of these railroads and better
secure the convenience and safety of citi-
zens is manifest.

CONCLUSION.

The consciousness that l have presented
but an imperfect statement of the condition
of our country and its wants occasions no
fear that anything omitted is not known
and appreciated by Congress, upon whom
rests the responsibility of intelligent legis-
lation in behalf of a great nation and q
confiding people. As public servants, we
shall do our duty well if we constantly
guard the rectitude of our intentions, main
tain unsullied our love of country, and
with unselfsh purpose strive for the public
good. GROVER CLEVELAND.

OF SUGAR FROM SORGHUM



AND SUGAR CANE.
During the past four years the process of
diffusion, as applied to the manufacture of
sugar from sorghum and sugar cane has
been introduced into this country and
fully perfected by experiments carried on
by the Department of Agriculture. This
process is now universally considered to
be the best economically, and it is thought
the sorghum sugar industry has been es-
tablished upon firmer basis and the road
to its future success opened. The adoption
of the diffusion process is also extending
into Louisiana and other sugar producing
parts of the country and will doubtless
soon be the only method employed for the
extraction of sugar from the cane.
FOOD ADULTERATIoN.
An exhaustive study has also, within the
same period been undertaken on the sub
ject of food adulteration and the best ana
lytical methods for detecting it. A part of
the results of this work mas already been
published by the Department, which, with
the matter in course of preparation, will
make the most complete treatise on that
subject that has ever been published in any
country. The Department seeks a pro-
gressive development. 1t would combine
the discoveries of science with the econo-
mics and amelioration of rural practice
EXPERIMENTAL STATION SUPERVISION.
A supervision of the endowed expert
mental station system recently provided for,
is proper function of the Department,
and is now in operation. This supervision
is very important and should be wisely
apd vigi1antly directed to the end that the
pecuniary aid of the Government in favor
OF intelligent agriculture should be so ap-
piled as to result in the general good and
o the benefit of all our people, thus justi-
flying the appropriation made from tie
public treasury.

Domestic Disquiet.

Mrs. Frances A. Stiles of Columbia,
by Mills, Osborn IL Goss, her solicitors,
alleges that she was married to one
AlOnZo X. Stiles on the first day of
April-a proceeding by which she seems
To have been badly April fooled. She
further alleges that her said husband
has treated her with great cruelty ''in
divers different ways" that he has used
up her own private property; that he
has become addicted to the use of
strong drink; that he has followed after
strange women; that he has neglected
her and refused to support her; for all
which and for various other causes she
prays the court of chancery to grant
her a decree of divorce from her said
husband.
Mrs Adelphia Craig of South Haven,
comes into court by VIM. n. Cook, her
solicitor, and gives it to understand
and be informed that she was married
to one Ralston Craig on or about the
first day of April, 1S7S-another April
fool-and that she, also, has been the
victim of extreme cruelty at the hands
of her husband, such rs personal vio-
lence by beating, striking and bruising
her in an inhuman manner, and this on
various different occasions; that he has
been in the habit of applying foul and
indecent epithets to her and has other
wise misused and maltreated her, so
that she deems herself well entitled to
the decree of divorce for which she
humbly prays.
A. H. Chandler, solicitor for one
George b. johnson of Covert, has filed

monial VOW and against the will and
wish of the said George b., wilfully and
wantonly deserted his bed and board
which said desertion and abandonment
took place four years ago and was with
out any just cause or provocation
wherefore the said George b. humbly,
but hopefully, asks the court To issue
its decree separating him entirely and
forever from wife who manifestS So

ness that pertains to welded life.

A Dream Fulfilled.

A. F, McNeal, a well.known citizen of
Rawson, died yesterday, after short illness,
and now comes a weird story connected with
this fact, which Is as fully authenticated as
his death. On the night of the 2Sth of
January of this year, he, like Joseph,
t'dreamed dream that he died and went
to heaven. In this dream the date of his
death, April 26, was firmly fixed upon his
mind. In tthe beautiful city, whose maker
and builder is God" he dreamed that he
met Mr.. Mahlon Povenmire, of Ada, an old
acquaintance and friend, and asked him
when he had died and left earth. Proven
mire replied that he had died and come to
the eternal world week before. There We're
other striking circumstances in the dream
equally as strange, and the next morning
when McNeal awoke he reduced the details
to writing.
He was then in excellent health. His wife
found the manuscript few days after it
was written, and it worried the good woman
a great deal, but the said nothing to her
husband concerning it. Yesterday, April
20, McNeal died, while Povenmire Joined
the silent majority one week ago yesterday.
The case is remarkable y;'e, but it can
not be laughed down, for every word of it is
true, and the substance of MeNeal's dream
is in manuscript, just as he Wrote it three
months ago. IL is all the talk in Hancock
county. M
