70 Boom New Jersey.

The State Board of Agriculture in
tends to boom New JERSEY as a o
favorable home for foreign settlers than
the West. The baIrens and pine re-
gions of the state have been derided as
of but little good for farming but the
thrift, enterprise and prosperity which
are witnessed III Vineland, Hammon-
ton, Egg Harbor and Alliance go to
show what New Jerseys siDdy wilder
ness can be made when under the
tillage of hard working, and economical
foreigners. Railroads give easy access
to the two principle markets OF Ameri-
ca and with the same economy and
thrift as has to be exerted in the West
the people have IA much better chance
to accumulate u competence than in
the West where the climate, nor mark
cts are not so favorable.
The State Board of Agriculture dur
ing the next year will inaugurate a
scheme that will bring the State into
notoriety. For the first time in many
veal The State Board will have a little
cash in hand aud this will be devoted
to setting up New Jersey exhibits in
the fairs, both State and county, held
in %neighbrring States. The exhibit
will probably be the best productions
of some one county; for instance, an
exhibit of the products of Monmouth
County will be shown in a New York
fair and that of Burlington County, in
a Pennsylvania fair and that of Salem
in a Delaware fair.
The railroads are disposed to be gen
erous in their advertising of other
States in the far West for 10 otl.er rea-
son than to receive the fare for trans
porting people. They do nothing to
correct the general impression that
New jersey is a wild, barren country.
The people who are seeking invest
ments and seeking homes should be in
formed that, for a mere nominal sum,
they can get land upon which can be
grown some of the finest fruits of coun-
try, and which will respond we'll to the
demands Uf The cultivator.
Because of the general attention that
these subjects are receiving the meet
ing of the State Board of Agriculture
will he of much Importance, and will
be no doubt productive Of a scheme to
open Il new era of usefulness for the
State of New Jersey.

Gladstone, the greatest Commoner of
England, who celebrated his S1st birth

been prominent in English politics for
nearly half a century and his still brilli-

no doubt, greatly due to his temperate

The Ledger says: New Jersey has
done very good work On her W nc
count in making govioglcai surveys OF
the State, and now has entered into an
agreement with the United States Gov
eminent whereby the United States
Geological Survey will take charge of
II new survey of the upper part of the
State and make a close study of all that
region, preparing maps on the scale
adopted by the Stale Geological Board.
This kind of work is of the highest
value to the community, but cannot be
done by private parties to advantage.
Thorough surveys of any region help
to develop new industries suited there
to, and save a waste of energy in the
prosecution of individual enterprises
that must be fruitless. State and ma
tion should be liberal in the expendi-
ture of money for such surveys, which
will be returned to them an hundred
fold.

Earineer McFadden Knew He Would Re
Killed. and He Was Killed.
The sudden and awful death of En-
Kineer McFadden recalls very wildly a
story that is told about the brave and
nervy man who met his fate while at
his post Of duty. Engineer McFadden
was connected with the old Oregon and
California Railroad company for many
years. During that time extending
over a period of twenty-five years. he
bad been in a good many accidents
and had run many narrow escapes.
All viii wildly remember the fearful
accident at Lebanon Junction, in which
Engineer John (''Big jack Miller and
Fireman Quint Guthrie were killed.
The tragic fate Of big Jack" seemed
TO have made a very strong and lasting
impression on the mind of Engineer
McFadden. and had been regarded by
him somewhat i'm the light of "a PRESENT.

latter. and natural, the circumstances
Of the accident and the fate of Miller

station. The train was coming down
the track at a lively rate when the To-

of frightened sheep. The crushed and
mangled kept piling up in

a height Of several feet. McFadden
put on brakes and reversed, but the
locomotive climbed up OF top of the
bleeding mass of mutton and went over
into the ditch. McFadden and the
fireman had a very narrow escape from
death. and did not come out of it with
out serious injuries. McFadden was

CONSUMES LOST CHARM.
Missed 1t In Atlanta and Had 1t Served
90 Him in a Seattle

Missed 1t In Atlanta and Had IL Served
90 Him in a Seattle Restaurants
H. L. Constine. of New Orleans, La,
Who has been in Seattle for several
DAYS. tells a story that would rival in
its i~mprobability the tales of the Ara
bian Nights" Mr.. Constine, however,
declares that his story is true, and says
that he is willing to swear to it.
when l wa in Atlanta, Ga, some
time ago" said Mr.. Constne, Il was
invited by a friend, Mr.. John Sawyer,
to visit a peach cannery in which he
was employed. After l bad completed
my tour of the cannery l missed a very
valuable charm that l had been wear
ing on my watch chain. The loss was
= sad one TO me, inasmuch as the
charm was a gift from a dead sister. =
offered a liberal reward for the return
of the charm, which / supposed | had
dropped somewhere about the cannery,
but ali TO no purpose, as l never heard
from il.
Il had returned home and had given
up all hopes of recovering the charm.
About We months ago | conceived the
idea of visiting the Pacific coast, and ar
ranging my business in short order,
started at once for the west.
Il arrived in Seattle and was visit
ing friends who live neal Yesls- avenue.
One day l was down town and stepped
into a restaurant for lunch.
after eating a hearty lunch / called
for some peaches and cream. started
to eat the peaches, and was in the act
of cutting one of them with a sp<on,
when the spoon struck some hard sub
stance which appeared 10 be imbedded
in the heart Of one Of the peaches. ]
worked the substance out with my
spoon and held it up 10 the light. My
surprise can be better imagined than
described when I found that l held in
my hand my missing charm, which ]
had long ago given up for lost.
The story is a strange one" con
cluded Mr.. 1Constine, and ! should
hardly be willing TO believe it myself il
told 70 me by a stranger, but neverthe
less every word of it is strictly true.
The only way | can account for the
mysterious disappearance and recovery
of the jewel is that it became Olsen
gagged from the chain when | wa
watching the performance Of a new
coring and pairing machine in which
was much interested while | was visit
ing the cannery in Atlanta, and it fel
in among the peaches without my no
ticing it,"
The charm, which Dr. Constin'
showed the reporter, was a gold cross
with a small diamond set in either enc
and a larger one in the center, and wa!
of very unique design. The story is 4
strange one, but vas told in a cOncis'
and straightforward that ar
gued well for its veracity Seattle
