IT Is more than lidely that in this
country the custom of granting ninety
nine year leases originated in the city
of Baltimore, where ground leases have
been in vogue since the beginning of
the present century, but that the prac-
tice antedates that period in England
by many hundred years is unquestioned.
It was only 4 few months ago that a
floating newspaper paragraph an
nounced the expiration OF 900 year
lease made during the reign of Alfred
the Great A more striking example of
the stability of a government and the
perfect legality OF long term leaseaolds
could not be given.

A Dastardly Attemp. at Incendiarism.

Early On the morning of the 18th dastardly
attempt was made to burn fve-story tene-
ment house at 1873 Attorney street, 10 New
York, but the plot miscarried, owing to the
vigilance of a policeman, whose prompt action
no doubt averted what might have proved a
holocaust. The house is five-story double
decker" and some 16 or Is families live in it,.
They were sleeping soundly when three sepa-
rate fires were kindled in a barber shop OH the
ground-1oor, The owner of which was absent
at the time. The fire was promptly extin-
guished by the firemen, and the Fire Marshal
summoned. An investigation is now in prog
ress
When the fremen went into the barber shop
they found part of the cupcas and wood work
in the shop burning. Mattresses on a cot in Il
bedroom in the rear were burning fercely.
The space between the two fires was perfectly
clear. Fire had not travelled over it. Assist
ant Fire Marshal Freel found in a drawer in
the cupcase. distinct from the fire in the shop
a towel which was rolled up and smouldering.
The fremen said it smeiled like birthstone
They thought that the birthstone had been
used TO start the fires.

American sympathy for Ireland.

One of the most remarkable statements made
by Mr.. Gladstone in his great Home Rule reply
to the Duke of Argyll was his declaration that
"a gentleman belonging to the Republican
party. and in the first rank of public distinc-
ton in America told me before the last Presi-
dental election that Is, 100000 votes would he
cast at it, aud that of those, l2,5Oo,oO0 would
be favorable to the cause Of Ireland"
1t was learned that Chauncey NJ. Depsw was
the man who made the statement, and on be-
ing interviewed, he said
"Ycs, / remember making statement to
Mr.. Gladstone. 1t was about three years ago
Mr.. Gladstone asked me very pointedly just
how Americans regarded his Home Rule
scheme at that time. replied that out OF the
l3,OOOO 900 votes cast at the last Presidential
election, did not believe there would be 500,
600 who were not in favor of Home Rule for
Ireland l will supplement that statement
now by saying if the question comes to test,
do not believe there 100000 people in this
entire country who are not i'll favor OF Mr..
Gladstone's plans for Ireland"

FARMERS, ATTENTION /!
A SPLENDID PAPER VERY CHEAP.

The american Farmer is the Oldest agri.
cultural paper in America, having been
published in Baltimore since 1919.
Last Winter it passed into the hands Of @
new ID management, who have greatly enlarged
and improved it. 1t is now superb journal
of 30 large pages, with handsome cover,
and finely illustrated. 1t is issued on the
LIST and 18th of each month, and gives q
larger amount of better reading matter for
the money than any other agricultural paper
in the country. All the leading agricultural
writers contribute to it, and great amounts
of money are constantly being expended to
secure the best available information on all
farming matters.
The american Farmer is thoroughly nom
partisan in politics, but is strong advocate
of protection upon every farm product which
comes into injurious competition with those
of foreign countries Ii is particularly
earnest in its support Of the tariff on wool
and the development of the sheep-raising
industry of this country until our own
farmers will supply every pound of wool
and mutton that our people require. 1t
devotes considerable space every issue to
information in regard TO sheep-raising and
the discussion of matters of interest to flock
owners. Besides this it has departments
Horses, Swine, Grain-growing Stock and all
branches of farming.
One of its peculiarly valuable features is
that it publishes in every issue the latest
issued maps of the Weather Bureau, giving
the temperature and rainfall all over the
country for the previous two weeks. This
information is of the utmost importance to
every farmer in judging the probable course
of the market. 1t is precisely the informa-
tion that the grain spectators have been
securing at great expense, in order to shape
their operations. By means of these maps
the readers of The American Farmer are
given just as reliable information as to the
of the crops everywhere az the
spectators and operators have, and thus
are placed in exactly as good position to
judge the course of the market

CROPS OF THE WORLD.
Outlook in Great Britain Worse Than Ever
Before.

Figures obtained from official reports show
that except in Great Britain and Italy the crop
prospects average nearly Is per cent. better than
last year. Italy's wheat crop ia IL per cent. be-
low last years, and that country must import
from 1000. 600 to SO. 000. 600 bushels. The crop
in England is over IL per cent below the nor
NAL yield. In fact, the condition of affairs
throughout Great Britain Is the worst ever ex-
periemced. Last year was thought to be bad,
but this is much worse.
In Hungary the Minister of Agriculture re-
ports that 100000 bushels will be available
for expectation, the greater part of which will
probably be taken by Austria, which appears to
be in the company Of Great Britain in having a
deficit in its wheat yield. The Russian corp is
SO large that there will be for expectation be-
tween 60 COO. 600 and &C, 00o, 900 bushels.
The Spring wheat crop in Minnesota and
North and South Dakota will be less than the
phenomenal yield of last year by 6o,000,O00
bushels. There are some who think the yield
this year will be about Ito GOO 600 bushels, and
this is about tho figure reported by the Govern
mcnt the more conservative estimates being
100000 less. The corn crop was excellent
in Minnesota and South Dakota. The oat crop
was generally short. The farmers, however,
are in good financial condition or account of
the diversity of the yield.
A dispatch from st. Louis says three weeks
of drought throughout the Winter-wheat
States makes the outlook critical for the coming
crop. In the Northwest the crop as whole will
be short, probably not more than 100000
bushels.
At Omaha the corn crop is estimated at 160-
100000 bushels little less than last year. The
wheat yield will probably reach 22.000G00
bushels, or more than laot Joar- Fall ruhnat is
now being gown.
Correspondents throughout Louisiana give
unfavorable reports as to the cotton crops. but
the sugar crop will exceed expectations being
perhaps third larger than last year. The
rice crop is also promising. An advance in cot
ton prices is looked for in New Orleans, and in
Atlanta it is said that prices cannot go much
lower. The crop in Georgia will be consider
ably less than last year.
