Weight of Corn.
Prof. Geo. Z. Marrow of the Illinois
Industrial University Experiment Sta
tioushas tested the weight OF corn ears
to determine the amount required oil
various kinds to produce shelled bushels
of az pounds. He found 70 pounds OF tht
early, 70 of the medium, and Is OF the
late maturing varieties, would produce
each when fresh bushel Of air-dry
shelled corn by the end Of October
There has been found quite a variation
however, in seasons. and more difler
ence in wet seasons than in dry ones
sometimes varying nearly. 20 pei
cent. in the latter sorts which az
not ripen dry. The earliest varieties viii
of course have better chance to become
hard and dry than the later and more
succulent, and there will be difference
greater in more northern regions thar
under longer and hotter sun furthe
south. Farmers who have occasion u
measure or estimate corn in the ear ma.
easily make tests by weighing freshl!
husked ears, and again in winter ant
again the next sum mer, and may ascer
tain what may be Of importance to then

ITALY'S THREAT.

The Italian imbroglio arising out of
the New Orleans lynching has assumed
a serious condition. Baron Fava, the
Italian minister, has been recalled
While this docs not indicate that diplo-
matte intercourse is broken off, it does
mean that the Italian government is
offended.
1t is safe prediction, however, that
there will be no war. The European sit
uation will not permit of any nation, let
alone Italy, taking on any outside COM
plications. France and Russia are getting
very thick, and it looks squally to see
Russia massing heavy bodies of troops
on her southwestern frontiers.
But it must not be forgotten that
Italy has the second most powerful fleet
in the world and if she should take the
notion she can put a fleet eight miles off
the coast and knock New York to
smithereens, and we haven't a gun on
the Atlantic coast to stop it. We have
nice start of fleet, but it is young
yet. In the language of Gen. Grant,
let US have peace.

KELLY DISMISSED.
How the Long Speeches Bored the Hun
CRY Judge.

How the Long Speeches Bored tho Hun
CRY Judge.
Argument in the Barrett Kelly case
was heard yesterday by Judge Williams.
Mr.. Kelly was present and listened to
the argument throughout.
Mr.. Parker was the first speaker for
the prosecution. lie detailed the law
which was constituted especially to pro-
tect the employer. He then told of the
relationship between Kelly and Barrett,
and said that it was positively estab-
lished that Barrett gave his clerk no
authority to collect money and apply il
to his own private use.
Mr.. Parker quoted some very pretty
poetry. The magistrate listened to
it with omuch interest, and thought of
the green hills and sunny fields of old
Missouri. Passages,from several cxpon-
ents of the law were quoted, and Mr..
Parker closed after speaking for over
an hour
Mr.. Northrope followed in speech
nearly as long. He asked that the war
rant be dismissed on the grounds of its
being incorrect in allegations. 1t
charged his client with obtaining Slo6
in money. 1t was not all money. Part
of it was paint.
81 ask that the warrant be dismiss
ed" But Mr. Northrope didn't give the
justice time to dismiss the warrant. He
went on speaking.
Finally the magistrate became tired.
lie twisted himself several times in his
chair. Then with bound like a linn
Der jack he was on his feet, hungry
and bored. 1t was after o'clock
"Now, look here, gentlemen, don't
want to hear these great long speeches.
I've heard the evidence; want to hear
the law. l am getting hungry now, and
adjourn the court till 2:3O o'clock"
The judge then passed sureptitiously
out of the room. He never turned his
head, but with an eye on a hot, smoking
dinner he went straight forward.
When court again convened Judge
Yarrell spoke for the prosecution. His
speech was clear and concise, and the
beauty of it all to the Judge was that
he wound up in about fifteen minutes.
Judge Williams reserved his opinion
till late yesterday evening, when he
made known his decision to TINES re-
porter, dismissing the charge against
Kelly.

AN INTERESTING REPORT.

The special committee of the council
appointed to investigate the subject of
street improvements has done good
work, as is shown in the elaborate report
printed on the sixth page.
The report presents the cost of street
improvements in many Of the leading
cities of the country. 1t also considers
the advantages and disadvantages of
granite, asphalt, brick and macadam
streets.
The report recommends that the cost
OF construction and reconstruction of
streets be divided between the owners
OF property on the streets improved in
proportion to the frontage, with the cx
ception of intersections. 1t also re-
comments that the street railway COM
pany be required to pave between the
rails and eighteen inches on each side
OF all street railway tracks.
In support of this recommendation tbo
methods of paying for street Improve
ments in New York, PHILADELPHIA. Hos.
ton, Buffalo, Providence, Baltimore
Cincinnati, Milwaukee, St Paul and St.
Louis, are cited. In all Of these cities
the property owners pay part or all the
cost of street improvements.
The committee recommends granite
paving for the business streets, asphalt
for outlying streets, around public
buildings, churches and valuable resi-
denct property, brick for the ma iority Of

The report cantains much valuable

be hoped that the committee will OK
tend their Investigations to Washington
where tho most thorough tests havc
been made Of many pavements, and
valuable results obtained. Washington
is the best paved city in tho country,
and gets it's paving done ut lower cost.

The leading feature Of the programme
was the violin solo by little Cyrus Roberto.
The marked improvement over previous
efforts exemplIhes the amount Of good be-
ing done by these exercises. MissI Grace
Durbin's essay on Easter" was both en-
tertaining and instructive. An instru.
mental duet by Prof Pasmore and Miss
Ada Williams brought forth hearty APP
plause showing that their fine rendition
was fully appreciated. Geo. Hunt dis.
cussed the interesting Malta question ar
guing for the majesty and supremacy Of
the law. The duet by Prof. Hutchinson
and Eugeuia RAIDER was pronounced by
many the finest musical treat that has
been listened to this term. Miss RAIDER
has all the natural requirements of an ac-
complished musician. Paul Greene, Cy-
rus Roberts and William Mast convinced
the judges that foreign immigration should
not be totally prohibited. Their oppo-
nent1 struggled maufully but it was Of no
avail.
