mental in having him taken to the Police Court
as an 'habitual drunkard" Policeman Kendall
OF the first precinct was standing at Pennsylvania
avenue and 18th street having his shoes
BACKED, when the doctor stopped and asked
for money. He was under the influence of
liquor at the time. The officer told the Phila-
delphia doctor that he had use for all the
money he earned.
'Well, buy these" he said, taking pair of
sleeve buttons from his pocket.
How much do you want for them?" the
officer asked.
Twenty-Five cents" was his reply

THE MEETING OF HUSBAND AND WIFE,
He showed the officer newspaper contain

his death she remained widow until Decem

doctor did not seem much affected by his wife's
appearance at the police station Saturday
night. She had with her some of the Doctors
old clothes, which she brought here from Phil
adeiphia with her. Her husband was good
natured enough to give up his good clothes
and put on the old ones, and Mrs. Dean left the

left twenty cents i'll his pocket. 1t is stated
that she gave her husband 5000 some days ago

THE MILITIA REVIEW.

Why It Threw General Viscount Mel.
VILE in Towering Rage.
There was to be review of the Lam
AYRSHIRE militia when the commander
of the forces in Scotland was General
Viscount Melville. He was strict dis
ciplinarian, an excellent soldier, but
most particular as to detail. 1t was said
he could detect a missing button on a
private's coat. He was the inspecting
officer. The review was to take place
in the park of the palace. Luncheon
was prepared for the whole county. A
large party was invited in honor of Lord
Melville, who arrived at the palace the
previous day to meet Lord B.. the
Colonel of the militia regiment. There
were few people as popular as Lord B.
His geniality equaled his hospitality, and
his residence was house widely known
and highly considered; but he was very
forgetful, and despised all those mill
tary details which Lord Melville consid-
sidered of the first importance-som much
so, that at dinner the General expressed
ton the Colonel should give the next
day to the equipment of the corps, and,
above all, to his own personal appear
ance. Trust to me-" said Lord B;
'you will see how well l shall turn out
tomorrow"
However, it was evident that the COM
mander in chief was full of doubt; nor
were his apprehensions unfounded. The
next day was beautiful. Crowds assem-

without it's Colonel. Lord Melville was
purple with rage. There we all waited
half an hour. At last appeared tho
Colonel, and in the most motley guise-
no cooked hat, his sash slung rather
than tied round his waist, his trousers
without straps, half way up his legs.
He logged along in perfect indifference
as to his appearance. Lord Melville was
too overcome with Indignation to speak
when Lord B. said: 'tWell, General, 1
hope you think me all right to-day"
Low-muttered anathemas were the
only reply to this salutation. However,
the review proceeded, but very slowly,
for the Colonel had to read the word OF
command from paper which he did
not even try to conceal. Lord Melville
dashed about in frenzy. At length
the last maneuver and final blow came

What Are the Southern Farmers Going
DO Next Fall {?

What Are the Southern Farmers Going d
DO Next Fall
For two OF three years the farmemd
the South have tried, through their On.
CARNATIONS, to overthrow the Jute Baq.
ging Combine. Various plans for &.
complishing this object were discussed.
and the one agreed upon was to use a
substitute. The leaders of this move.
ment argued that if the farmers would
use some other article besides iute, that
it would leave the trust with their
bagging on their hands. This plan
would probably have worked admirably
if all the cotton-growers had used the
substitute, but not more than one-hal
of the farmers would use it. This re.
duced the price of the bagging, and
this benefited those that used the lute,
while it was those that used the sub
stitute that did the work and they are
the ones that ought to receive the bena-
fit.
The question now is, are the farmers
organizations going to use this substi-
tute for another year and benefit the
outsiders, or are they going to get up
something that will be a benefit to
themselves. This substitute business
has been tried and found wanting. New.
why not try some other plan? II the
Alliances, Wheels and Unions would
use their influence in trying to have the
tariff taken off the jute bagging, and, IN
fact, off all the necessar1es of life, upon
which a trust exists, the trusts would
burst into a thousand pieces, and i
would be impossible for another to b.
found.
This substitute business won't doi il
is impossible to get the farmers 50 well
organized that all will use the substi.
tute, and even if they did all use i
and succeeded in bursting the trust
what is to hinder there being trust
formed on the very substitute itselfl
1t seems to me that instead Of fighting
the trust, the farmers have been light
ing the jute bagging itself.
Taking every thing into considers
ton, jute bagging is the ckoapest ans
best covering that have ever seen USED
for the present sized bale q
cotton, if it was not for trus
prices, and I think 1 can brinl
argument to prove this assertion
1t is getting time for these things to b
put before the people for their consider
alton, for it is impossible to break
trust by fighting the article instead
the trust itself. By this means itmay

HOGS AND COTTON.
They Should Constitute a Consolidated
Interest in the South.

They Should Constitute a Consolidated
Interest in the South.
By nature of climate and other adj
vantages the Southern States of this
great country must, for many years to
come, if not for all time, be the great
source of supply for that most important
of all textile fabrics, cotton. 1 say
"most important because the most
universally used of any article for
clothing in the civilized nations of
earth.
AS an evidence of the supreme inn
portance of Southern cotton in the
worlds commerce, look back at the
fabulous prices it reached during and
Just after the civil war. l have read
statement in some statistical report
that the average price of cotton in New
York City during the latter part of four
years of war and blockade was
S131. Think of that. One pound
of cotton then was worth as
are worth now. A 50O-pound bale then
brought the handsome price Of $685.
against from $40 to $50 now At these
war prices for cotton the Southern farm
er could afford to make its production
the sole object of his labor. At present
prices he can not afford to do so. To
make the most of his time and labor
now he must diversity his products.
Pages might be proftably devoted to the
great diversity of productions to which
our sunny cline is adapted, but at pres
ent it is my purpose to speak only OF
two-hogs and cotton.
Every Southern farmer knows that ii
takes plenty of hog-meat to run farm,
especially if he has negroes to feed.
''Old Ned (bacon) plays a most impor-
tant part in the production Of cotton.
Without his abundant aid scant would be
the supply Of this great staple. If baeor
is not raised at home it must be bought
abroad. The Southern farmer who
sends North for his bacon has learned
to his sorrow what an expense it is tx
have his smoks-house so far away. HI
that raises his own ''hog and hominy'
has found out that home-raised meat il
not only cheaper, but better than thu
average bacon sent down from the gres
packing-houses of the Northwest.
One very important connecting linl
between hog raising and cotton cuftur
is the seed product of the cotton crop
1t is well known fact that dry cottol
seed, fed to hogs, as it comes from tn
gin, is fatal diet, if fed in any cor
siderable quantity. Thoroughly wetted
