Farmers Club.
The Brittan's Neck Farmers Club met
April 9Th at NJ. J. T. Johnson's The
proceedings of the last meeting were read
and approved. The rep IT ofthe axamiEing
committee was as follows:
We, the examining committee, have
walked over and carefully examined Mr..
Johnson's beautiful farm, and can safely
say that he has a model farm and is a mod
el farmer as 20 fences, houses and general
division of fields. We find the farm-stock
in fine condition for the time of the year;
corn field nicely plowed and tobacco land
heavily covered with barn yard manure;
farm implements in good order and in their
proper places; sheep in fine condi ion and
lambs numerous and well grown. We re-
greet to note the loss ola valuable colt, three
years old, by getting hung b. the natter
while in the stable. Owing 30 excessive
drought last fall. like most Others in this
neighborhoOd. he failed 10 fallow for wheat.
but he has the finest corn field wheat we
have ever seen; the yard and garden need
a new fence, otherwise the surroundings
are neat and comfortable. We also notice
well of good wateE in the farm yard,
which is great convenience for watering
stock, particularly in bad weather and
working season.

Railroads Have a Right to Live.

1t is pleasant to note, writes Thomas L.
Greene, in the Engineering Ndqdzine
New York;, that the law courts through
out the country have shown a wish to
protect railroad revenues against unjust
legislation. The Supreme Court in the
Minnesota cases struck the keynote with
which the utterances of inferior courts
since that decision have been in harmony.
In Texas the Legislature created a State
Board of Railroad Commissioners, ap-
parently with the intention of making
their rate opinions final in effect, though
nominally the Act was drawn to meet a
United States Supreme Court decision.
Not expecting justice from a State court.
the Eondholders began in the United
States court an action 10 restrain the Texas
commission from promulgating certain
tariffs said TO be unreaSonably low. and
won their preliminary case. The railroad
fright to live" has also been affirmed in
other States. Those decisions, with a
growing sense of Partially toward car
riers under present low-rate conditions.
have generally throughout the country
kept the various Legislatures from enact
ing any drastic measures affecting rail-
roads 1t is also proper to mention that
the authority of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the supposed efficacy of
the interstate commerce law to cure our
transportation ills have both received
rather severe blows during the year from
various courts before which questions
touching the Act to regulate commerce
were argued and by them decided.

dable proportions the Siamese may make
1t very unpleasant for foreign residents,
including a few American residents
there. Ifsuch state of affairs obtain,
however, the United States will not be
without vessel in Siamese waters, as
the United States ship Concord, now on
her way to China, will be in the neigh
oorhood in the course of two months.
About twenty missionaries are at pres
ent in Siam, mostly Presbyterians, and
friends in this country have become con-
cerned about their welfare, now that hos
tllities have broken out between the
French and Siamese. Rev. DIR. Gillespie of
New York, representing the Presbyterian
Mission Board, to-day telegraphed Secre-
tary Gresham to inquire as to what pro-
vision would be made for the safety of
missionaries and numerous children in
their charge.
Secretary Gresham replied: 81 am in
formed by the Secretary of the Navy that
there is not at present in the Asiatic sta
ton any vessel capable Of entering the
Siamese waters. The missionaries should
communicate with the Legation at Bang
kok for usual diplomatic protection"

PURCHASES OF SILVER.
Clause of the sherman Act Relating to
the Subject.

Clause of tho sherman Act Relating to
the Subject.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-It is under
stood that the Treasury Department is
not required by the Sherman law to
purchase 100000 ounces OF silver each
month. The law reads: "That the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is hereby directed to
purchase from time to time silver bullion
to aggregate 100000 ounces, or so much
thereof as may be offered in each month,
at the market price thereof, etc.,
Under this construction if the price
does not suit the department it is held
that purchases need not be made in a
special month, so long as the aggregate is
maintained. The decision as to what is
the market price is made by the Director
OF the Mint, who makes the purchase.
The Acting Director expects to get his
full quota this month.
The gold reserve in the Treasury has
been increased 100000 since yesterday,
and now stands S9S,O93, al. But on the
other hand currency is decreased from
S27, 1853, SSl to S26, 9O4, $50, in the same time,
owing to heavy payments on account Of
pensions and Postotfices.

WISE DOG FOR ST LOUIS.
A Canine Which Shows Possession
InteIlfpeuce Ahove tho A ,-.4ro,,.

A Canine Which Shows Possession of
Intelligence Above the Average.
There is gentleman in st. Louis who
owns dog he would not sell for 81 600
says the Globe Democrat The gentle
man is a paralytic, having lost the use of
his lower limbs, though he can use his
arms and hands as well as anybody. and
his mental faculties are unusually bright
The attendants are accustomed to bring
his meals and place them on q little roll
ing stand by his bed, and he helps HIM
self when he pleaSes, and, in order to at
tract attention to his wants, keeps a large
cane by his bedside with which he knocks
on the floor. The dog is greatly attached
to the invalid, sleeps under his bed at
night and sits in the room most Of the
day, but is born thief, and nothing has
ever been able to break him of his pro-
pensity to steal.
On several occasions, a few months
ago, the invalid detected the dog stealing
his breakfast from the stand, and gave
him sharp rap of the cane as an incen-
tive to honesty. The canine apparently
took the hint, but few days later, see
ing the dog devourlng a piece of toast
from the plate, the gentleman put out his
hand for his cane, when, to his astonish-
ment, he discovered that it was gone.
He looked around, and there was the
cane on the other side of the room, lying
III LILO 44OCIs ~ llG CullHu Ill6 uO8 WITH
his hand and drove him away, and
thought little more about the cane, sup
posing, naturally, that it had been
thoughtlessly moved by one of the family.
The next day, however, he was reused
from doze by hearing the cane fall. He
cautiously opened one eye without NOV
ing, and saw that the dog was drawing
the cane away. Curious to sec what
would follow, he awaited developments.
After the dog had dragged the cane to
safe distance he came back. took hold of
the bottom round Of the stand, which
moved lightly on rollers, with his mouth,
and dragged it five or six feet from the
bed, then helped himself to what he
wanted. The cunning Of the dog in get
ting dinner without running any risk
of beating at the same time was so
amusing that after watching the per-
Torrance the gentleman burst into a
hearty laugh. The dog was startled, but
kept on eating as fast as he could, as
though perfectly well aware his master
could not get at him. The owner did not
have the heart to scold the dog, and now
one OF his principal amusements, after he
has eaten his meal, is to pretend to 20 to
sleep and watch the dog carry away the
cane, pull back the table and help him
self to what is left.

HOPEFUL FEELING.
Money VIII Probably be Easy Right
Along.


New YORK, July 13.-This afternoon
the hopeful feeling among bankers be-
came more pronounced. Frederick d.
Tappen, President of the Gallatin Ma
tional Bank, said that one of the most
necessary things was the resumption Of
the normal relations between the Sub
Treasury and the Clearing house. No
Clearing house loan certificates were
issued to-day, and none were retired, but
it is known that if the same easy condi-
ton prevails next week some large
blocks of certificates will then be retired.
Tappen said this afternoon that there
would not be any more trouble in the
money market. Money, he said, would
probably be easy right along, and within
a week or ten days there would be a
superabundance of currency here, partic-
ularly in notes of small denominations.

FLAGSHIP PHILADELPHIA.
She is Expected to Touch at Samoa at
the Earliest Possible Date.

She is Expected to Touch at Samoa at
the Earliest Possible Date.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Depart
ment of State is without information
further than that contained in the news
paper dispatches regarding the revolt in
Rio Grande do Sui. 1t is not believed
necessary to issue orders OBTAINING the
United States ship Philadelphia at Rio de
Janeiro, as Captain Barker has discre-
tionary power to remain for any time If
the emergency appears to justify it. But
it is assumed that he will proceed on his
voyage as soon as he has supplied the
ship with coal, in view of the prevalence
of yellow fever on the Brazilian coast
and the necessity for her presence at
Samoa.
The latest official reports from Samoa
make no direct reference to active hostil-
1tles, but do state serious complications
nave arisen in connection with the adj
ministration of the tariff laws and the
operations of the Land Court, which is
burdened with an almost inextricable
mass of conflicting claims. These reports
nave, IN measure, prepared the DEPART
ment to give credence to the unofficial
reports of impending hostilities between
Malietoa and Mataata, and it is felt de-
sirable the Philadelphia should touch at
Samoa at the earliest possible date.
