ELOPED WITH HIS TYPEWRITER
A Prominsnt Albany Lawyer suecumbs to
the WiIes qf Pretty Girl.


ESPECIAL TELEoRAM TO TIE DIsPATCH.l
ALBANY, N. z, November 16.-A sens&
ton was created to-day by the discovery
that Colonel w. W. Thompson, a promi-
nent Albany lawyer, who recently served as
Pension Agent under Secretary Noble, had
eloped with Bertha Denton, his typewriter,
and had taken with him s., 200 in money
belonging to his clients. Thompson disap-
pesred Sunday, telling his wife that busi-
ness called him to New York. His female
companion, who is pretty, buxOm girl Of
about 10, met him at hotel here, and the
two left on a night train for the West.
It appears now that the couple have been
intimate since last August, when Thomp-
son first took the gay Bertha into his en-
ploy. In September she came to live with
the Thompson family, much against the
wife's will, as she already felt suspicious Of
the pairs relations. Finally Mrs. Thomp-
son elected the girl and her baggage from
the house. Then the pretty typewriter
brought suit for 81, 600 damages for slander,
but nothing came of it. The affair has caused
much tall, owing to Thompson's prominence
in the profession.

A GOOD CLOSE,
UuusuaI Activity In Stocks for the Last Day
of the Week.

The stock market wound up the week yester-
day without a symptom of excitement but
with good business for short session, the
total sales reaching 37S shares. The active
properties were Pittsburg Traction, Central
Traction, Airbrake and New York and CleVe-
land Gas Coal.
Central Traction was fractionally stronger,
but Pittsburg was weaker. Airbrake about
held its own, though it has been higher within
q short time. Yesterdays movement was the
first for several weeks, and the price paid is
hardly tair indication Of the market Gas
Coal has been neglected so long that it is hard
to tell what it is worth. 1t brought 81
OF the inactive list, Pittsburg, Allegheny
and Manchester Railway showed a disposition
to weaken, but the feeling was probably more
nominal than real. Its prospects are too good
for a material decline. There was the usual
Saturday demand for bank, bridge and insur-
ance stocks, and with the usual result They
were all firmly held. Transactions follow:

THE FIRST STAGE OF HER CAREER
Completed in Honor, She Takes Fresh

HOW TO AVOID POSSIBLE DISASTER

Pittsburg has reached q critical point in
her career. She has finished one stage Of
her progress, and is starting out upon
another. Old Pittsburg is behindi new
Pittsburg is before. Her past has been hon.
orable, full OF noble achievements in peace
and war, but the future promises to crown
her with still brighter laurels.

An Item About Ducks.

If the incubation is natural the duck is
in the opinion of many the best setter,
but the hen is the best mother, especially
if pond Or water course is accessible.
The eggs once Matched, away hies mother
duck to the nearest water. Whether
anxious to reduce the number of bills to
be met or what, she with her little brood
is soon afoat. If the mother duck would
hover over her charge after leaving the
water until they were dried, no harm
would follow the swim, and the plumage
would be the better for it. But this she
will not do, and instead she leads the
chilled ducklings upon foraging expedi-
ton from which, if any survive, they are
stunted, and from such drawback the
bird never fully recovers. 1t is for this
reason that the hen is the better mother.
With the hen they can be kept within
the limits of pen, whereas the duck
mother would be restless in the confne-
ment. After the first week the ducklings
may have water in shallow pan to
dabble in, and if with hen motherm
have fully liberty.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-02-20

in one place, and you will have the pleas
ure of seeing your trees always golden
with fruit.
With proper management of fowls in
the grove you can do away with two
great bills of expense, viz, fertilizing and
hoeing. All the working the trees will re-
quire is to occasionally run an Acme or
wheel harrow through the grove to loosen
up the soil, and the fowls will do the rest.
The benefit the hens do the grove will
more than pay for their feed and care, so
you have the eggs clear profit. Give the
matter thorough trial and be convinced
that poultry-keepingis profitable in Flor
ida. c. G. p.

In assuming the responsibility of the

do so from desire to encourage an
industry that is in it's infancy in Florida,
and to encourage new beginners, more
than to instruct those of experience, and
hope all will lend q helping hand in maxi
ing this department q success. We all
see the necessity of a diversity of in
a bright star in the new South. We can
all help each other by giving our expert
ence with different breeds of fowls, in the
use Of incubators and brr~ ders, how to
feed, our method of combating all
the insect enemies the fowls are subject
to in this State (and their name islegion)
shall be glad to receive letters for pub
lication from any and all of our numer
Gus readers who are interestedin poultry.
We will answer all questions through the
columns OF the paper; il a speedy answer
is required, by enclosing a stamp for re-
ply we will answer by mail. In writing
please state if the letter is intended for
publication or not.
We are enthusiastic in cur calling, and
believe there is money i'll poultry culture
in this State, in all of it's branches. We
state this at the outset that you may
make due allowance for some statements
we may make in the future. After four
years experience OF alternate success and
failure, our ardOr is not calmed down,
and we shall increase our business as fast
as our means will admit.
The poultry business is considered by
most people as a littleside-show, indulged
in by weakly persons not strong enough
to follow other occupations; bntconfront
them with statistics and they are aston
ished. The poultry products for 1888
will reach not far from 500, 900,
being twice as large as the dairy product,
.one and half times as large as the wheat
produced land about the same proportion
more than all the cotton, and yet we i'm
port several millions OF eggs every year.
Our increase Of production does not keep
pace with the increase of consumption.
We will present q complete statistical
report in the near future, showing the
number of fowls and number of eggs pro-
duced and the value of same. We are
pleased to state that there has been more
Improvement in fowl culture in the last
six years than in twenty years previous.

are in the United States, and more chick

Poultry in the Orange Grove.
Editor Poultry Department:

Orange and poultry culture should GER
tainly go together. The trees furnish
shade and the fowls hoe and fertilize
Some people claim that fowls will give the
trees ''die-back, = but if they ever do, it is
caused by having too large flock roost-
ing in one place year after year, and no
attention paid to cleaning up droppings.
Now, the proper way is to divide the
grove into yards, say three-fourths to oone
acre yards to every twenty-five or thirty
hens. Clean the droppings from under the
roost at least once a week and use the
same to fertilize your garden patch or the
trees which are in distant part of the
grove where the fowls do not run much.
good way to do is to have the coops
made so they can beeasily moved around
Once or twice month move the coop a
short distance; in this way there will be
no danger of getting too much fertilizer

The Commissioner of crown lands in the
province of Quebec, in his report for 1871
SAYS, the most formidable agent in the de
struction of our forests is certainly fire. All
the most active operations in numbering which
have taken place since the settlement Of the
country, and all which are likely to take
place for the next twenty years, have no,
caused and will not cause to our forest so
much devastation as this destroying elemen,
has effected to the present time"
In 1878 select standing committee of the
the Dominion Parliament instituted an inquiry
INTO the condition of the forests of the coun-
try, and the extent, value, and prospects OF
the lumber trade. In the course of investi-
CATION Mr. Stewart Thayne, an English jour
nalist, who had for the last i've years been
engaged in researches having reference to
the lumber interest, and who had been for
two and half years exclusively engaged in
studying the subject of timber re. ources in
Canada, gave his opinion that So 900 900 was
the lowest estimate of the average annual
ioss thiouRu tue iofest nfts IN the otta"a
valley alone.
Hon. k. W. Phipps, in his report on the
necessity of preserving and replanting for
ests, compiled at the instance of the govern
ment of Ontario, published in 1883 says
The great difficulty in maintaining forests
in this country lies in protecting them from
ha nf fra 10 frh bay
liarly subject. Our hot summers dry the
edge of the forest, the cuttings left by the
lumbermen greatly increase the danger the
cattle of the settlers dry and impoverish the
edge Of the forest for many miles, dry sea-
son comes, fire is ignited by the clearing
fires of the settlers, by those of the lumber
man or the hunter, or it may be at some
point where the railway has touched the for
est line by spark from the locomotive.
The terrible devastation caused by these
fires, when under full Roadway, is ruinous
beyond Imagination. Hundreds and thou
sands of square miles of beautiful forest
have been reduced to ashes in periods of a
fortnight or even week. 1t has been well
remarked by persons fully competent to ex-
press an opinion on the matter that fire de-
stroys more timber in Canada than the axe. "
In report on forestry and forests of Can
ada, by Hon. II. q. Jolly, member of the
Dominion Council of Agriculture, it is esti-
mated that more pine timber has been de-
stroyed by fire than has been cut down and
taken out by the lumberman. Not only is
all the young trees, too, upon whose growth
we must depend for the restocking of our
forests"
