presided over the majority conference Of
the United Brethren Church to-day.

DOTY'S DAISY BLONDE.
Our Consul in Tahiti Wins a
Fair Princess.
SHE SEEMS "NONE SO DUsKY."
Dukes and ViscOunts and Earls Re-
fused for a Sovereign Citizen
of America.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Jacob l.. Doty
is Consul at Tahiti, Society Islands.
He had fallen in love with Princess
Polona, of Tahiti. A formal berothal
has taken place, and the approaching
nuptials are the all-absorbing theme in
social circles on the Island. The princess
is beautiful and accomplished lady,
about eighteen years of age, and per-
feet blonde. She is the daughter OF
LORD and Lady Darcy, her mother being
native Tahitian princess, and her
father an English nobleman of distin-
guished ancestry. She has had all the
| advantages of education in France, Ger
many and England. She is the possess
sor OF immense wealth in her own right,
and receives large annuity from France
under treaty stipulations. As may
naturally be supposed, the princess
has not lacked suitors for her hand,
all of whom, including the Earl of Dud-
ley, she has persistentlv refused. Lord
Darcy was himself anxious to have his
daughter marry q scion of the English
peerage, but gracefully yielded to the
wishes of his lovely and only child to
accept as son-in-law sovereign Ameri-
can citizen. Consul Doty is only %
years of age, and has worked his own
way to position and fame. AS boy he
was page in the United States Senate.
He comes from good family. His
father, now deceased, was a prominent
citizen of Brooklyn. Mrs. Doty was the
granddaughter OF Lord Melbourne, and
her English progenitors were relatives OF
Charles Lamb, the McPhersons, Wal
laces, and other families of note in Great
| Britain

A LETTER received at the HERALD
Office last night from st. Louis says "II
is as hot as Tophet here, and ones daily

living in Los Angeles" 1t certainly is
most delightful here these charming
May days. The mercury takes range
of from fifty to seventy degrees, the high
temperature being matter of a couple
Of hours duration between ten O'Clock
and noon, and the rest Of the day rang
ing at about sixty to sixty-fve degrees.
it is common error TO think this fine
winter climate, but rather Indifferent for
summer use. The fact is that if there is
TO be any distinction made, it must be in
favor of our summers, which are really
more delightful as compared with the
torrid East, than are our winters when
compared with The frosty rigors of that
region.

WHEAT and barley are now looking
foe in all parts of the country. The
latter is rapidly turning, and will soon
be ready for the reapers. The wheat is
we'll headed, giving promise of an excel
lent harvest in due time. The fogs have
not been frequent this season, and the
grain is free from rust. There will be a
great deal Of mailing barley produced in
this section this year, which will find a
ready market among the brewers of the
East. How much better it would be to
malt and brew all this at home. There
are many avenues of enterprise open
here fer a fine combination of capital,
skill and energy to build up many profit
able industries.

ARaiiroad MAN suicides.

PHILADELPHIA, May 15,-Gen. Ander-
son, of New York, aged Sc, COM
mited suicide by shooting himself in his
room at hotel last night. No motive is
known. General Anderson was one of
the best known railroad men
in this country. He entered the
railway service as chairman on
the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad twenty years ago.
Since that time he has been connected
with nearly every real in the country in
various capacities, but chiefly as chief
engineer and superintendent. In 1865
he was ches en- as second vice-president
of the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany, remaining there until January 1,
1898

THE local columns of the HERALD to-
day contain carefully prepared article
ON the wheat and barley products of this
county. There is food in it for good
deal Of careful reflection. The exhibit
indicates that there will be a large sur
plus of barley in the county with no
very active market in view to work it off.
The estimate is probably too large,
although the writer does not esti-
mate the crop at sufficiently high
figure. The average yield is more than
IN centals per acre. But he under
estimates the amount used for seed and
feed in the county. If the city for feed
alone consumes 100000 centals, surely
the country for seed and feed consumes
more than a fifty per cent. increase on
that figure. To seed the ground for the
next crop will call for 100000 centals.
Now, the feed consumed in the
country is much more than that
used in the city. There are many
large towns in the county, which call for
large amount of feed, and the farmers
do not measure the grain they feed SO
carefully as those do who buy their
grain. But all allowances made, there
will be large surplus of barley in this
county. What is the best use to put it
to-? Not in selling it to outsiders for fifty
cents per Genital by any means. Here is
section that imports nearly all the
meat that supplies its population.
Why not turn this surplus barley
into pork, mutton and beef? With a
field OF alfalfa to bring stock up to GER
tain point, and then plenty of good bar.
ley to harden the fesh. we ought to pro-
duce all our own meat right here. Our
farmers do not seem to be good business
men. One iron in the fire seems to be
all they can take care of. If they could
only find talent to think of two things in
the course of year, they would not need
to find market for their surplus barley.
Another reflection runs in the line of pro-
duciDg more of the two-row barley suit
able for shipment to England, and less
of the common sort which that market
will not take. 1t would also be we'll to
give more attention to the production of
wheat and devote a less acreage to bar
ley, as we do not produce any surplus OF
the former cereal. and there is great
demand for all we can grow. 1t is quite
time that section, SO richly endowed as
this, should produce its own -four.
It's own pork, mutton and beef, its
own butter, cheese, eggs and poultry.
Ground barley is a most excellent feed
for all sorts Of domestic animals, and for
