NEW FIELDS FOR HOPS.

Vancouver News-Advertiser
We yesterday gave some interesting de-
tails respecting the large profits made by
the hop-growers OF Washington territory.
one grower in the Puy allgp valley, who has
kept All accurate account OF the proceeds Of
his hopyard for seventeen years, states
that the average yield for tha, period has
been 2os pounds the acre. During that
period the average price has been - cents
per pound or $40 an acre. and. after de-
duetlng all expenses OF cultivation and
picking, the net profit has been abou.
500 an acre. II Is not surprising
that the land planted to hops
has valuation OF 500 Per acre. or that
those holding il are so dislnclined TO part
with their property Eha. ii Is difficult TO
give an accurate statement OF what is the
actual market price ~ the land. Another
person who has cultivated the hop plant

Womsn's influence on Man.


There is nothing particularly new in the
fact that a man OF good birth, careful edu-
cation and thorough breeding should marry
into the Sums said fellow clubman in
the Union League, referring to Robert
Ray Hamilton, yesterday. 1T is because
Hamilton had more or less chivairic ideas
OF what q faan ought TO do that he was led
into marriage with this woman. A toaeh,
or a man OF common breeding, would have
pushed her 10 the wall and told her to po
and support herself and her child after he
got through with her. Tha. is the only rea.
son why adventuresses OF this type succeed
with gentlemen. A boy who is brought nm

MARQUIS THOMAS A. EDISON.
Like Inventor Pullman, His Title Came
from King Humbert.

from King Humbert.
New York Daily News.
"They must not hear of it in New York.
they would never stop laughing at me-"
This was what Mr.. Edison, the electrician.
said when he heard that King Humbert
had made him a marquis. Yet there is
nothing in this honor to be ashamed of.
Bestowed in recognition of great scientific
services, the honor is one that Edison
ought TO be and probably is proud of. This
is the second American whom the italian
potentate has raised to high estate of no.
bility. The first was our distinguished
townsman George ". Pullman. whose
genius has enabled any human being with
SO mot including, however. a quarter for
the porter TO enjoy the ineffable boon of a
nights sleep upon q railway The same
modesty which caused Mr. Edison to blush
to stammer, and to shrink when he learned
that King Humbert had issued a commits
sion To him brought blush to our Mr.. Pull
mans clear-cut platter face. and prompted
that gentleman TO express regret that the
Italian monarch had deemed him WORTHY
OF so conspicuous recognition
Whether Mr.. Edison will, be addressed
by the title of marquis (pronounced

mains to be seen. That title is seldom an
pied to our townsman, Mr.. Pullman.
Among his intimates at the Chicago clnb
Mr.. Pullman is commonly called George
Just as \. X. Fairbank, who gets his
Christian name from the poet y. z. Willis
Is commonly called Nate, and as Mr.
Armour, named by his sponsors in baptism

proud OF his title, but he as properly objects

A CHICAGO PANIC.

Fire in the Exposition Building Precipi-
tates n Mad Rush.
Between eight and ten thousand people
rushed pell nell out of the Chicago expo
sition building the other night, falling
over each other down stairs from the GAL
lery and many jumping through the win
dows in their hurry To escape. A fire had
started in one of the big booths near the
center OF the huge structure, and the glare
of flames and the crash of plate glass
caused a panic. Within five minutes the
excited thousands of people were safe out
side of the structu. and few minutes
thereafter the flames were extinguished
and one fourth Of the interior of the ex-
position was in ruins. The damage to
the building itself was slight and the art
gallery wholly escaped. The losses of
the exhibitors will reach $4,000. No
persons were reported seriously injured,
though doubtless many suffered minor
hurts and others had decidedly disagreea-
bic experiences. Tho FIRE was caused by
an ignited carbon falling from one of the
electric lights into the pit.

EUROPE vs.. AMERICA,

Results Of = Practical Inquiry Regarding

The fifty American workingmen .and
women who went to Europe laet July to
investigate the condition Of European
workmen in the interest Of Scripp's league
have returned to New York. Mr.. Thomp-
son. manager OF the party, is quoted as
saying Of European workmen: They are
not to be compared with ours. Almost
every trade was represented in our party
and they examined carefully the produces
and machinery of the old country. It was
observed that the machinery was cumber-
some and lacks the completeness that is
seen in our country. We have had re-
markable success from the time we sta,t-
ed. We were met everywhere with
courtesy and treated in the best possible
manner. 1t was found that wages were
everywhere on an average 80 per cent.
lower than in this country.

Statement.

The Department at Washington Makes .
Statement.
The report prepared at the pension bu-
reau shows that on June 80, 1889. there
were 4S9, ,725 pensioners on the rolls, an
increase during the past five years of 144,-
600. For the year ending June 80, 1889,
the appropriations were $S0.273, 900 and
the payments SSS, ,275.0OO. For the cur
rent year ending June 80, 1890, the appro.
priation is the same. In July and August
there was advanced to pension agents on
requisitions $34, 700, 900, while the amount
disbursed by agents in the same months
was $ll ,4S6, 900. The statement says
that more than half OF these disburse-
ments were in payment of cases allowed
during the preceding fiscal year, and not
paid then because Of the deficiency in the
appropriation, making it necessary to pay
these claims out of the appropriation for
the fiscal yea: 1880. This accounts in
every particular for the apparent increase
in the payment Of pensions during July
and August, 1889.
