To show the value of sorghum hay
we will recite an incident told us bv a
gentleman who shipped to this coun-
ty lot Of steers, last fall, from Kan
sas City, to be wintered and grass
fattened for the market next summer
A steer had got down in the car and
had got badly trampled and severely
bruised and injured internally. so
that by the time he reached his desti-
nation he could hardly stand on his
feet, and was off his feed" and the
owner looked upon him as a dead
steer. The animal was turned IN an
enclosure where there were several
kinds Of cured feed, sorghum hav.
corn shucks, millet, prairie hay and
straw. That steer moped around a
couple Of days and commenced to eat
a little. He had his choice, but he
ate nothing but sorghum hay. The
feed loosened the bowels, the fever
went down, the bruises healed and
the steer is good for $50. next fall.
Two crops of this sorghum hay can
be raised in ordinary years, a yield
of four to five tons per acre. It beats
prairie hay Winfield Courier

ROCK ISLAND AHEAD.
The Latest Thing in Tourist Sleep
iEg Cars.

The Rock Island has inaugurated a new feature
which promise to create considerable interest in
railway improvement, it being free tourist car
service, with nearly all the conveniences of the
palace car including coIOTed porter in attendance
fine hair mattresses pillows, blankets, soap, etc.
When made up for the night, the fourteen sec
tons are partitiOned off with sliding panels and
curJalned with heavy damask drapeFies Tables
attachable TO the sides of the interior are DrO-
yided Tor each section. The cars are heated by
steam, the aIsles caFpeted and CuspidOrs for the
cleanliness OF the cars are added. The duties of
the porter accompanying each viii be similar to

Kept perfectly clean. In one end is the iades'

which are as nicely appointed and furnished as the

the Chicago, Kansas q Nebraska is to furnish
these cars free of charge to tourist or excursion
parties when the number of persons is sufficiently
large To justify the Hse of car or cars With
Such accommodations, and without charge, there
Is no further necessity of Western tour without

During the year 1888 the popuIa-
ton Of Ireland was decreased by en-
igration to the extent of 1864 This
fact we have from the latest report Of
the Irish registarar-general. It is
hardly necessary to comment upon it.
The moral it contains needs not to be
pointed out nor emphasized. It is
the outcome of British claw and or
der in ireland in one year, and, of
course, that one year is but a sample
Of the decades that have preceded
it. The Northumberland tells US
that the total number of em1grants
natives Of ireland who left Irish
ports from May 1, 1851, to December
81, 1883, is 3,37G,1O3." He does not
give us for the famine years, but at a
low estimate they might be taken at
a million, which would make the
grand total from 1846up to the end
Of last year close on four and a half
millions, or very nearly a number
equal to the entire population Of Ire
land at the present time. WoefuI
history is wound up in these terrible
facts! Irish World.

Real estate dealers, conveyancers
and property owners in Baltimore
are very much exercised over the eff
feet of a recent decision of the court
of appeals, which virtually clouds the
TITLES to nearly one-th1rd Of the prop
erty of Maryland The decision re-
ferred to is one in regard to the hold
ing Of property by married women
and the transfer to them of TITLES.
The sentence touching this matter in
the supreme court decision, is as fol-
lows: 1T can hardly be necessary
to say where a conveyance is made to
a married woman, the burden of
proof is on the wife to show that the
property was purchased and paid for
out Of the money belonging to her
and that, in the absence OF such proof,
the presumption is that the husband
furnished the means to pay for it." It
is claimed according to this clause
that wife's property, no matter how
acquired, whether it was left her by
her father or other relatives or was
earned by herself, is responsible in
the absence of this proof for the debts
of the husband The wife holds no
property in her own name, and, wish
ing to mortgage or sell it, must fur
nish proof that it was not purchased
by money furnished by her husband.

THE AMERICAS.
Comparative Areas of the Central and
South American Countries.

Comparative Areas of the Central and
South American Countries.
From the CleuelGnd Plain Dealer (Denl.)
The coming of the delegates to the pan
American congress makes it pertinent to
remind our readers that Central and South
America embrace an area little greater
than twice the extent of country in the
United States and territories and a popula-
ton of about $4,000, 000 or about one-sixth
smaller than the population of the republic
Mexico covers an area Just about equal to
that part of the United states east of the
Mississippi river, exclusive of the states of
Louisiana and Mississippi, and has IL, 900, 600
inhabitants.
The five Central American republics of
Costa RIGA, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicara-
qua and Salvador cover an extent of coun-
try about the size of the five state, of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and
Illinois, and have population equal to both
New Y ork and Indiana.
Brazils area is somewhat greater than
that of the United States, exclusive Of
Alaska, and her population is about that Of
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The Argentine Republic, with about half
the area of the United States, has a popula-
ton not quite as la ge as Pennsylvania.
Colombia is nearly equal in extent to
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana.
Illinois, Michigan aud Wisconsin, with
population probably little less than that
of New York state.
Bolivia's territory is somewhat greater
| than that of the Atlantic states, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Michigan, and has popu-
lation about Indiana's figure.
Peru is little larger than the Atlantic
states and Pennsylvania, and her population
is about that of Illinois
Venezuela is larger than Peru by about as
much territory as is embraced in New Jer-
sey, and her population is about equal to
Indiana's.
Ecuador could contain Ohio, New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Illinois, but
her population Is not quite up to that of
Michigan alone.
Chili's domain cut up would make states
as extensive as Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Indiana. Her population is somewhat
greater than that of Indiana
Paraguay is big enough to include Ohio
and New York within her borders, but her
entire population scarcely exceeds that of
Cleveland.
Uruguay is not quite as large as Ohio and
Indiana combined, aud just about the same
number Of Inhabitants as Brooklyn. n. Y.
The Guianas are English, French and
Dutch colonies. British Guiana, twice as
large as OHIO, has just about the population
OF Cleveland. French Guiana, somewhat
larger than Ohio has about as many inhab-
itAnts as Toledo. Dutch Guiana, nearly as
large as Pennsylvania, has no more inhab-
itantS than Columbus

Acting Secretary Batchelier Directs a
Suspension of Work Until Congress
Decides Whether it Will Change the
Site, and Increase the Appropria-
tion-About $4,000 Spent on the
Building So Far.
A Washington dispatch to the MORNING
NEWS last night stated that Acting Secre-
tary Batcheller yesterday directed the sus-
pension Of the work on the government
court mouse and postoffice in this city until it
can be ascertained whether congress will
authorize the selection of another site. and
will increase the limit Of cost Of both the
site and the building. The present site was
selected in January. 1888 The limit of cost
is 5000, 900, and is not considered sufficient.
The departments action is based upon a
peti ion signed by Gov. Gordon, members
OF the legislature, state and city officials,
and large number of citizens.
The acting secretary took a similar action
in regard TO the proposed public building at
Statesvills, N. c., because of representation
by the mayor, aldermen, aud merchants of
tnat city that the site selected by the last
administration is unsatisfactory 90 the
business community.

Col. William Garrard in the interest of the
Savannah Volunteer Guards Battalion,
which will offer its site to the government,
and it was backed by Col. Buck. Only two
or three objections were received. They
were set aside as inconsiderable. Congress-
man Lester has promised the treasury de-
partment to use every effort to secure the
needed legislation.
The announcement of a suspension of
70 %
said several days ago that he would not be
surprised to receive at any time an order to
that effect. The walls are nearly COM
pleted up 70 the first story, and about
$4,000 have been spent on the building.
Supt. Peck is in Atlanta but it is probable
that work will stop at once, and the fence
around the site will be closed up until after
congress meets and the matter of a change
of site and an increased appropriation is
settled

A SAMPLE GEORGIA FARM.
w hat the Georgia Southern is Doins
on Its "Patch."

W hat the Georgia Southern is Doing
on Its "Patch."
The Georgia Southern and Florida rail
road is The first road in Georgia to establish
farm to show the utility of that section of
Georgia through which the road passes.
Traffic Manager Knapp said yesterday that
the farm is "model farm" 1t was called
an experimental farm" when the establish
ment of the states experimental farm was
being talked of, but the name is incorrect.
The farm is not established for the purpose
of making any experiments, but the man
agement of the road proposes to do as other
farmers in that section have done: colduct
a farm on correct principles, make it self
sustaining, profitable, and, at the same
time, show the adaptibility of the land to
diversified farming. The farm is located
about 100 miles south of Macon, near Triton.
The land lies alongside of the railroad track,
in splendid view from the cars. A station
house is erected at the farm, and the train
makes regular stops there. The land was
cleared and planted this year, and the
produce has matured and is being har-
vested
at required quick work." the traffic
manager said, "but by persevering we
accomplished what we started out to do.n
Prot. Erby, formerly president of the
Mississippi university, is at the head Of the
farm, with the best corps of assistants to be
found in the south.
"Has the farm proved self-sustaining?
he was asked.
30, yes. The road has expended a good
deal of money preparing the land for culti-
walton, but the outlay upon the production
of the crop will be fully covered in the
yield"
"What is planted on the lands"
"The staple products, and also side crops.
The crops are diversified. In addition we
have established stock farm, where
thoroughbred animals are raised"
Maj. Knapp said that the finest stallion
ever imported to this section of the south
has been recently put on the farm. He was
| imported from Germany.
"Do you expect to have visitors to the
farmP'
so. yes We have already had them,
and we expect a great many this winter
The farm has already reputation, and all
of upper Georgia is familiar with it,"
1t is understood that some of the other
Georgia roads will soon start farms along
their lines to develop them and show the
| resources of the land.

the corporation attorney took the word OF
Mr.. Cohen that :here had been steps
before whAD az n matter Of
fact, the floors Of the houses on the lane
were raised and steps put in the lane where
steps never had been, aud that the only
thing approximating steps were blocks OF
wood at two or three of the doors, which
were placed there for convenience by the
colored tenants.
OPINIONS on THE CITY's ACTION.
Opinions were divided among the specta-
tors who witnessed the removal Of the curb
ing. Some argued that IL was an outrage,
and condoled with Mr.. Cohen, while Others
who were conversant with the ordinance
prohibiting encroachmonts on the est ib-
lished lines of the streets expressed them
selves very positively that the ordioa &c
should be enforced, and held that Mr:
Cohen, having no title to the encr nached
ground, exercised bad Judgment in not
signing a waiver to the title when the coun-
Gil was willing to let the encroachment re-
main after guarding the city against any
future claim of eminent domain.
