does not attain its full growth until
| the second year, as the greatest part
Of its energy is spent the first year
III making roots.
1t is estimated that under the most
unfavorable circumstances an acre of
properly cultivated willows during the
first three years will produce from 5000
to 5000 pounds of peeled willows, ready
for market, the price of which is 10
cents per pound, wholesale
Taking the lowest estimate of the
produce of one acre, 5000 pounds. at
the lowest market price, 6 cents. the
marketable value of the product of
one acre is $50. The cost of planting.
including plants and labor, is $40 per
acre. The highest estimated cost of
cutting, hauling, steaming and peeling
is about $50 per acre, making Il total
expense of 500 per acre, and leaving
a profit of 800 per acre on the raw
materials the first year. If these as
sertions are capable of practical demon
stration it can readily be seen that it
will be only short time before the
farmers of st. Louis county turn their
attention to the cultivation of a crop
that offers such lucrative returns.
A visit to the Attention farm will
convince the most skeptical that the
popular notion that willows will prosper
only in low, swampy ground is an
erroneous one. This rule applies only
to certain varieties of the American
willow, which are of a very inferior
quality. The Belgian and French vari-
cites thrive best on high ground and
in 4 sandy or loamy soil.

RESULT OF THE RUMPUS.
General Master Workman Powderly
Tenders His designation.

t Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 23.-General
! Master Workman PoWderly rendered
his resignation tC the general assembly
of knights Of Labor this afternoon.
The reason for his resignation is
! that he is unable TO keep the delega ties
! III the line he had marked out for
! them. Immediately after his reslgna-
! ton was offered he left the hall, it is
said, to attend to some personal bust
! ness.
/ This step is Il surprise TO all dele
/ gates, although ii few Of them said it
! was what ne should have done long
| ago No action was taken Oh the mat
! ter, although it was the topic Of the
discussion which lasted until the as
| Scmbly adjourned at > O'Clock.
| Mcclure Of New York, was the only
one elected and the assembly adj
| journed yesterday without getting
any further along. Today new life
seemed to have been instilled into the
Powderly faction and they began to
! elect 4 board that would suit them.
P0Wderiy was almost fruitlesS III
his cndeavors to impress upon the
! assembly that he was only exercising
the powers his office gave him.
His opponents told him he had mis-
construed the meaning Of the consti-
tuition. This only added fuel to the
flames. pOWdelly would not accept
the committee the delegates had elect
ed. He declared their elections il
legal.
Then the climax came. The defeated
leader spoke with remarkable cleanii-
ness. He said: "Gentlcmrn, you must
either obey the spirit Of the constitu-
ton OF declare the office Of general
master workman vacant | now ten
der You my resignation
The causes which led up to the resig-
nation are as follows: After Powder
/ ly had been repeatedly urged by the
assembly to substitute 4 new list of
names Of members of the executive
committee he acquiesced in the de-
mands. The second list was not much
more favorably received than the first
one, but he was most persistent in his
efforts to have it accepted.
gates were more than surprised. They
were aStounded. PoWderly was asked
tonight if he had really resigned. He
replied:
Il told the delegates that they must
either declare my office vacant or ac-
ccpt my resignation, as 1 would not
longer serve. In day or two [ will
make Il statement, but at present | do
not feel that l shold do so. When 1
left the hall it was to attend some pri-
vate business"
While the outcome of Powderly's res
ignation is still III doubt, there is some
talk as to his probable successor being
INDUCED in. Sovereign, of Iowa, and
Mcclure, of New York, are those most
prominently named, with the former
somewhat i'll the lead.

SAY NOT GOODBYE.

Say rot goodbye, for we shall meet
again
Perhaps it may be soon
Somewhere on earth, in sunshine or in
rain,
Benea til the sun or moon.
And if not there, then in some other
sphere
Perhaps it may be soon
In some rose garden where the flow,

Keeps always in its June;

Some night or dawn or noon;
Say not goodbye, for we shall meet
again;
Perhaps it may be soon.

AS he was about to leave the room she
asked him where he was from.
From Texas, madam.'
" We'll, let me show you how this
a match to it so; and when you get
through turn it Off So.
" But | understand al about gas
We have it at home
" Yes but l have had a good DEAF
Of trouble with Texans about gas, and
it doesn't do amy harm to show you.
! Turn it on SO, and turn it off this way.
Don't try to blow it out
. But madam protested my friend.
You needn't go to all that trouble II
it will relieve your mind any, | lived
III Chicago for six months before com
ing here
. You did, eh? Well, | want you to,
understand that this is il respectable
| house, and | won't have any poker
! playing or drinking and carousinS up
here ="
"HaW, hawr laughed the congress-
man, that is one Of the best stories
| ever heard" and his sides shook with
laughter.
But" said the correspondent, tho
boys are sending that story ont tonight
and saying that you are the Texan"
The deuce you say. Wei, that is "A
pretty low down sort Of IA yarn to
spin on anybody" grumbled the con
gresham.

urPITEIsS FIFTH SATELLITE

Later Observations Of the SWiftest
Moon Known to Astronomers.
Hartford Times newer and more
accurate computation by Professor
Barnard now determines the true peri
Oh Of The dying little moon to be II
hours, 81 minutes and DO 90 seconds.
1t Is the sWifteSt known moon in the
solar system. 1t flies around the giant
planet at the wild rate of 1874 miles a
second, 4 rate twelve times swifter than
that Of little phoboS, the inner one
Of the two satellites Of Mars. CFhese
two little moons of Mars also were
discovered by an American Observer
The fifth moon Of Jupiter is not only
very small-so small, indeed, that even
the penetrating eye Of the giant
refractor on Mount Hamilton fails to
reveal it as Il disk, and leaves it a
mere stellar point of light-but is also
very near the great planet. Prof. Bar
hard does not believe it can exceed,
even if it equals, a diameter Of 100
mlles-truly a wonderful Speck to see
by an observer stationed on our globe,
gazing through profound gulf of space
about sbO,Oe0,0OO of miles deep! And
the tiny object is flying around the
majestic orb Of Jupiter at the least pos
sible distance consistent with its own
safety; for it IS found to lie at q dis
lance of $1,000 miles from Jupiter's
surface, just outside Of certain limit,
inside of which, it seems, no satellite
could exist, because of the enormous
attractive power of the great planet
which would pretty certainly tear the
little moon to pieces. 1t is also com
puted pretty certainly that any freely
movable object on the surface of this
newly discovered moon, as man, a
chair, Il cart, etc, must be instantly
drawn Tor rather hurled through the
ii 900 intervening miles directly to the
big planet, rs soon as Jupiter rises
above the horizon of any such object
A man, on that little satellite, would
have to be anchored with something
heavier than Senator Stewards long
silver speech, if he would avoid a
cannon-ball flight to Jupiter, with the
prospect of being dashed to bits on
landing And then he would stiu be
over 10000 miles from the center of
the great planet-So vast is its bulk
Indeed the little moon is believed 70
be already losing its bulk, in the shape
Of various material, drawn off into Il
ring; thin ring like one of Saturn's,
epoirclinS Jupiter, but, as yet, invisible
from earth tt may be true Even tv
he drawn into Il ring wouldn't hurt
80 bad rs to 90 the whole distance to

think that our earth was once encirc!ed
by Il bright ring.
