BINDER TwlNE.

Not little excitement has been
produced among the farmers by
the statement, which has gone the
round of the press, that syndi-
cate has been formed to control the
manufacture and sale of binder
twine, and that farmers will have
to pay twenty-five cents pound
for all the twine used by them
during the coming harvest. Many
farmers have declared TINT they
will SOW no oats, as the prices OBJ
tanned for last years crop did not
return the cost of production, and
a further increase in the cost
would be ruinous.
The recent attempt to advance
the price of twine should open the
eyes of the farmers to the fact that
they are liable, under the present
conditions, TO have high prices i'm
posed upon them at any time. The
material from which the twine Is
manufactured is grown in foreign
countries and is under the control
Of foreign capitalists. These capi-
talists often compel our manu-
facturers to pay them fifteen cents
a pound for the raw material. Is
it strange that ths price of binder
twine is liable to advance fifty per
cent at any time?
But ouT farmers have a redress,
and it lies in the fostering of home
manufacturing. The twine manu-
factured from hemp grown in this
country is said to be as good, and
guaranteed to work as satisfactori-
ly as that manufactured from i'm
ported material, ami can be pro-
duced at cost to the farmer Of
six to ten cents pound.
Instead of giving up in disgust
would it not be better to SOW about
the usual crops of oats aud all
unite in requesting the manufac-
ture of hemp twine? This would
not only develop a new manufac-
turing industry of great magni-
tude, but would also cause return
to the cultivation of hemp, which
farmers onc3 found so profitable.
By this the farmer would receive
double benefit; he would not

not broken OF any match between my daughter

clent reason that no such match ever existed.
The young gentleman has been lavish enough

son to doubt the character Of his intentions,

child was three months old when
she nrst employed Mary Ann DonneIlt
a. wet nurse. When asked II the child was
born in Pennsylvania witness refused TO answer
and appealed TO the protection Of her counsel,
who entered objection but was overruled, and
the question was only withdrawn when Mrs.
the question would be discriminating to her.
Again did she look up to the court appealingly
when Prosecutor Thompson asked, care you
the mother Of that child?" This question was
Withdrawn under the same ruling, but the
incident clearly made an impression upon the
jury.
WANTED MORE THAN $4,000 TEAR.
The witness acknowledged that in q at Of
anger she had torn her husbands coat, and that
she had demanded more than an allowance OF
$4,000 per year from her husband and that
they had quarreled about 1t.
Mrs. Hamilton stepped from the stand and
sank into an arm chair and again buried her
face in her handkerchief as if weeping.
While Mrs. Hamilton was giving her testi-
mony the husband sat and stared at her most
of the time.
Police Sergeant VIM. Loder was recalled by
the state and told how Mrs. Hamilton viciously
threw herself upon the bench in her cell shortly
after being locked up, the inference being
that the bruises were more likely to be in
ficted in that manner than by the blows Of the
nurse.
Here the state rested. and Counsellor Perry
pleading illness, the court adjourned ct 4:30
o'clock until today. Mrs. Hamilton was re-
moved to her attic prison..
There exists but little doubt among the local
bar that Mrs Hamilton will be convicted and
sentenced, but it 10 thought that she will be

Yellow Fever Cases in New York.

Three cases Of yellow fever were reported to
the New York health authorities yesterday.
On Tuesday afternoon q Finn named Isaac
Elonen, . common seaman on the Atlas line
steamer Alvs, which is now lying at the Brook
lyn pier, asked the health officers to send him
to the hospital. The steamer sailed from Costa
Rica two weeks ago, and when two days out
Elonen was taken i'll. On arriving he left the
vessel and went to the charities department.
He complained Of having chills and pains in
the back. He was sent to the Kings county
hospital, where it il thought TO be . genuine
case Of yellow fever.
The steamer Hindoo arrived at the Atlantic
dock on Monday and yesterday Capt Browning
applied to the health office for o permit to un.
load the vessel He made an affidavit that
there had been no sickness on board during
the trip. His quarantine papers did not look
straight and DR.. Young telegraphed to Health
Officer Smith in reference to IL and received q
reply that Joseph BunnsIl had been taken OF
the Hindoo at quarantine suffering from yellow
fever and died there Tuesday. The permit
was not granted to unload, and on o warrant
for violating health ordinance in making q
false affidavit the captain was arranged before
Judge Peterson yesterday afternoon and fined
$l00, which he paid.

ELOPEMENT OF A CLERGYMAN.
A Blind Preachers Runaway Match and
Loss Of His Bride.

At Louisville, Ky, Rev. Charles Bohannon, q
blind Baptist preacher twsnty-seven years old,
eloped on Saturday with Miss Vics Afford, the
twenty-year-old daughter Of an old Catholic
family. She had been intended for nun
merry. Falling in love with her b.
hannon had converted her. This caused her
mother to hasten preparations for her entering
the convent The elopement prevented this.
The mother found the two and drove them
from the house Of the groom's aunt where
they had gone. The next day she sent for her
daughter, pretending that she had relented.
Getting the girl in her power she spirited her
away and the groom has since been seeking
for her in vain. He got out u writ OF habeas
corpus yesterday, but the girls mother denies
any knowledge Of her daughters whereabouts.

PRESIDENTIAL TRAINS.
Run With the Greatest Of Care and
Expense and Give Little Satisfaction.

I'VE don't like presidential trains" said .
railroad man 70 an Indianapolis Nescs reporter.
''Why?" Ger several reasons. They are
very expensive. The best cars, the most COM
petent trsinmen are employed. The President
seldom is aware Of the fact that his train is
guarded by detectives, but We have our secret
service men there just the same. Every other
train must keep out Of the way of the Presi-
dents train. Fast freights that usually run
within ten minutes Of ordinary passenger
trains are not allowed to be within thirty min
utes OF the Presidents special. You can see,
1t costs considerable to side track train for
thirty minutes. Passenger trains must take
the siding and mail trains lay by. In the case
Of mail trains, we are under heavy bond to
make certain time, and just imagine how a
mail train must run to make up time lost on
side tracks. Bridges must be guarded and
inspected, and nothing left undone that will
insure an absolutely safe passage Of the presi-
DENTAL party. Then the strain on every man
employed is severe. We always feel greatly
relieved when the presidential train leaves our
division and the fellows on the next division or
the other road have to do the sweating. You
never heard Of q presidential train being
wrecked, did you?"
