it will prove very valuable to his profes-

the desired effect.-Philadelphi Record.

oldest in the Mississippi valley, for infor-
nation relating TO She grocery trade and
the articles affected by the passage of the
Mckinley bill Mr.. John W. Welch.
highly intelhgent representative of that
house, upon being applied TO, talked
freely upon the various questions sub

What articles IN the grocery lice have
been affected By the Mckinley bil'T" he
was asked.
Everything, he answered, "or nearly
everything. Among the articles most
commonly in use and which everybody
knows and can form an intelligent idea
of, are foreign fruits, such rs ralsins,
prunes. currants and things Of that ma

other articles would answer equally as
well for al illustration. Their cost, say
in the frs. half of September, would be
eight cents; the next half OF Tat month
would be half cent less, and each sue
ceeding half month q decrease OF half q
cent until the latter portion of Novem-
Der. Now, under the tariff, that de-
crease VIII not be made. and the con-
sumner will have to pay it, as well as any
other advance that the importer may see
fit to put on in consideration of the priv
ilege granted under the new law. 1t is
the same with glassware aud ali kinds OF
goods that come TO US in Gl4ss-such as
pickles and goods Of that nature, coffee
and tea csddies and the various other
lines we receive in tin will also be adj

They were put on the market at four per cent,
and afterward increased to four and q half per
cent, but as none Of the bonds were sold the
rate Of interest was raised to five per cent, and
it is probable that it will have to be increased to
six per cent, before the bonds are sold.

Eliphalet Pace. of Chester, aged twenty-one
years, wanted real estate free of ~incumbrance
in the shape of wife,. and by hypnotic or other
influences induced Miss Mary Howell aged sixty
six years, who wanted a husband and WINS two
farms in that vicinity, to deed to him the two
farms for 1900. He gave in payment for them
so in cash, his individual note for 81, 600, and
promised that a speedy marriage should consti-
tute the remainder of the consideration. Pace
is financially irresponsible and works for $40 a
month and boards himself. The compact was
kept secret for a time, until Pace tried to GUST
the brother Of Miss Howell from a small house
on one Of the farms, when the situation leaked
out. The family and friends of the would-be
bride at once set to work to counteract the stu
alton, and the matter is now in the courts. Miss
Howell's relatives have applied to have her adj
judged insane and o guardian appointed. APP
plication has also been granted for @ commi ssion
to investigate the whole matter.

HERE is a startler from the Phila-
| delphia Press
Some of the South Jersey papers are having
| much to say about Senator John j. Gardner for
United States Senator next year. Senator
Gardeners friends are persistent in their efforts
to lift him up higher. In one year they created
for him three distincts booms. First he would
make a good Congressman, but many de-
manded that he must not be sacrificed as o Con-
| gressman, but must be made Governor. Now
he is too great to be Governor and must be a
National Senator. Gardner is himself content
to have any number of booms float
on the misty air Of expectancy. He is one of
the brainiest men in tho State, and if there is
any man entitled to recognition by the Republi-
can party it is the long-haired Senator from At
lantic. He has been a successful leader in the
Senate, and championed many causes that were
saved by his ingenuity and eloquence. Senator
Gardner will never make any remarkable politi-
cal advancement, for no other reason than be-
cause he sits with folded hands waiting for the
people to come and drag him from pillow and po-
tato patch to honor. Until he turns hustler he
will continue to furnish brains and speeches at
the old stand and get paid in promises.
Well, Welt What will Susie say to
this?

AGRICULTURE EXTRAORDINARY.
Culture Under GIess and Artificial Heat

Culture Under Gloss and Artificial Heat
to Aid Nature.
Soil-making, hot-water pipes in the soil,
and culture under glass at a certain
period of the life of the plant, will be es-
sential features of the gardening of the
future. They will finally dissipate the
childish fears as to the impossibility of
satisfying the needs of a rapidly-increas-
ing population; and they will permit man
always TO have fresh from the soil, the
bush, or the tree, most of what is neces-
sary for his life. That is not O dream of
futurtty; it is becoming a fact of modern
life. Indeed, nothing can De more in
structive on this account than a visit to
the islands of Jersey and Guernsey, such
crete idea of what the world is rapidly
coming to in the way Of culture under
glass.
The island Of Guernsey has to nourish
1900 souls on each square mile, and has a
good deal of u~nproauctive soil. Guern-
sey, like the suburbs of Paris, is a land of
market gardening, which has developed
of late into greenhouse culture. All over
the island, especially in the north, wher-
ever you look, you see greenhouses. They
rise amid the fields and from behind the
trees; they are piled upon one another on
the steep slopes of the hills facing the
harbor. The origin of this new departure
was the raising of grapes, which was
started some thirty years ago, by a few
enterprising men. AT present, Guernsey
exports every year about 800 tons of
grapes, which represent u money value
Of $215, 900, at the low average price of
eighteen cents a pound. However-and
that is the chief ~point-grapes are no
longer the most important crop of the

AS to the results l cannot better charac-

agriculture, wrote after a visit to the

In another column many interest
ing details are given of the attempt
which is to be made this Fall to re-
publicanize Hudson county through
O general exposure of the crimes of
the alleged Democratic Ring. We say
alleged Democratic. because in fact
the ringsters have already been read
out of the party by all that is honest
and respectable in it. They have no
influence in the counsels of the party
at large, they are detested by the
people of both parties alike, and
the only power they retain is
through their ownership of one or
two rotten gangs of office hold
ers like the Board of Free
holders and the Hogencamp-Cleve-
land New Charter combination. That
any revelations Senator Nevius' com
mittee may make should affect the
Democracy of our people on State or
National issues is incredible. Their
principles and ideas are deeper seated.
Hudson will return a Democrati C
Congressman to vote against The
Force bill, and all the investigating
and the revealing that Gardner and
his colleagues can do will have no in
fiuence on that result.
But when it comes to the offices
which the Ring is eager to control,
the offices through which it procures
legislation and fixes juries, then the
Nevius Committee will have the most
important influence if it does its work
we'll, and it may confer i~ncalculable
benefits on the tax-ridden, ring
ridden, tough-ridden citizens of
this community. With the Com
mittee OF work, it will be impos-
sible for the Ring to force bad nom-
nations for the Assembly on the
party. The Murphys and Boyles, and
Kellys, and Byrnes must stand aside
for if they get into the campaign they
will be beaten and their seats in the
Assembly will be filled by republicans.
But not only will the committee
help to make the campaign decent
and to secure good representatives for
the people, and a sheriff who is not
the king pin of corruption, it may also
do much to bring the malfeasant Of
ficials. both of the city and county, to
the bar Of justice. 1t was through
the labors of an Investigating Com
mittee that the sixty-four election
scoundrels were indicted--or at least it
was through the committee that the
conspiracy wa unearthed and the
evidence brought.to light. If another
similar body VIII delye into the secret
history OF the new city budget, if it
will examine as to the relations be-
tween the city's finances and the
banks of the place, if it will sift the
expenditure of the excise money, if it
will find out where the water
department cash hourly leaks away,
if it will investigate the paving
of the streets, if it will rip up the
political management of the Fire
Department, we shall be surprised il

housekeeping Girls.

1t may be true that most girls of
the period know much more about
the proper management of a house
when they marry than their mothers
did" but this is not the experience of
the majority of men who marry
American girls. No one is brighter
or quicker to learn the mysteries of
household work than the American
girl, but in the great majority of
cases she gains this knowledge after
her marriage. Wherever the English
system of enforcing training in cook
ing and household work is adopted
there the girls are found to be
adopts, but unfortunately, especially
in the west, the custom is to
leave all household work to
servants. Thus the girl grows up
with no practical knowledge of this
work, which seems SO easy, but which
in reality requires patient study and
much practice to do we'll. So when
she comes to manage a household she
is at the mercy of servants, who are
quick to take advantage of her ignor-
ance. She generally energies the vic
tor after several years of costly exper-
fence, but she would have been spared
all this worry. veXation and hard
work had her mother insisted, as
English mothers do, upon equal pro-
ficiency in the kitchen and the music
room. San Francisco Chronicle.
