cure good work from authors whose

time immemorial to offer cash prizes
for work in certain lines. The Scran-

TO Mr.. Homer Greene he awarded
thr palm, saying: "His song possesses
many high qualities; it has a singn,
tarly fine adaptal'ility to music; it
has noble lines; its sentiment Is re-
served and strong, and on the whole
it makes an admirable national sea
song"
MIR. Greene is the same person who,
one year ago, captured the prize OF
$500 for the best serial story for boys,

A friend has handed US a copy OF
the Liverpool Daily Post, which con-
vevs, among the other matter OF Its ca
blegrams from America, the following
from New York:
A married woman, named Hamilton,
has been sentenced to two years lIlpris-
onuent for fraudulent isSue OF Louisiana
State bonds to the amount OF several mil
lions of dollars.
Errors must necessarily creep into
the most carefully conducted newspa-
pers, particularly when the matter is
transmitted by wire and passes through
the hands of several persons at both
ends of the line but it would be diffl-
cult to get more error into single
sentence of four lines than is contain
ed in that above quoted. 1t appears
that at the time the cablegram was
sent Mrs. Evangeline Hamilton, wife
of wealthy New Yorker, was sen
fenced to prison for two years for al
assault with u knife upon drnnkeI
woman, nurse to Mrs, Hamilton
. child. At the came time the grea

bit in their mouths, and will hereafter |
act for themselves in the matter of the
sale of the product of their labor. And
inasmuch as the cotton exchanges of
the country have rescindea their own
action, agreed upon in convention at
New Orleans, the farmers would be re-
creant to their own interests and be
entitled to no sympathy il they did
not take proper steps to protect them
selves against unjust and outrageous
impostions.
At a meeting of the National Com
mittee of the Farmers Alliance held at
Atlanta, Ga, on the 30th ult., the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved. That every farmer is
hereby instructed when offering for

ging, to demand payment for eight
pounds more cotton than the actual
gross weight of such bale.
