The State Agricultural College.

Governor Mellette in his retiring
message uses the following language
with reference to the State
Agricultural College at Brookings.
This institution, which is endowed
by the Federal Government for
experimental purposes in agricultural
science, is at once the best equipped
and most important of our edu-
cational institutions. Its benefits to
the state are widely diffused both
from the large number of it's students,
and the practical instruction before
farmers Institutes during the vaca-
tions by the learned and able pcesi-
dent and the corps of Efficient
teachers"
This school probably stands nearer
to the common people than any of
the other state schools. Its
instruction is intended to be OF the
most thoroughly practical kind.
doing for the common people what
the higher professional schools do for
professional men. Its courses cover
agriculture, domestic economy,
mechanic arts and pharmacy In
addition to the ordinary book work
of the schools instruction is given in
this school in dairying, stock-feeding
and stock-breeding, gardening, veter-
mary practice, shop work in wood
and metal. dress making cutting and
fitting, cooking, shorthand and
typewriting, telegraphy, drawing,
wood carving, clay modelling, etc.
Short courses in steam engineering,
and in practical dairying are
offered for the next spring and
summer terms. The one course is
intended to fit young men to care for
and manage threshing machine
engines, and the other for conduct
ing creameries. "A fine new traction
engine was recently presented by the
manufacturers to the College as Il
part of the outfit for this short,
practical steam engineering course.
A dairy building, furnished with all
the modern cheese and butter MAX
ing apparatus, has recently been
finished. The shops, laboratories,
library, apparatus, tools and other
appliances are eQualed by those Of
few schools in the northwest.
The rates of tuition are only one
dollar per term, and board of students
and all other expenses are kept at the
lowest rates.
-Four hundred acres of land are
owned and used by the school fer tae
purposes of experiment and instruct
ion in farming, gardening, fruit
growing and forestry. Fourteen
separate buildings are in daily use
during term time for the purposes Of
instruction or of experiment. Few
people in the state are aware of the
extent of the equipment of the
Agricultural College, or Of the
breadth and variety of its work.
The young men of the school do Il
large part of the work in the gardens
and on the farm, and many Of the
young women assist about the build
ings. offices and in the boarding halls;
and both are paid for their work at
its proper value per hour. 1t Isl
! laudable purpose of the school to-
keep its students in close sympathy
with manual labor. 1t is indeed a
school for the laborer, and yet a
school where brain power is recog-
nized as necessary to the highest
kind OF hand power.

tructive Conflagration.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov 22.-Fire
burst out in the Worthington street block
owned ty ]. X. Dexter & Co., about 1920
this morning and spread rapidly. AL
though brick partition separated the
adjoining building the rags burned with
such heat that the walls gave way.
The first structure burned was built
four years ago at cost of $40, 900 and
was occupied by A. +. Leonard & Co.,
seedsmen, the Stearns paper company,
and the Graphic company. The upper
floors were stored with rags.
The second block was worth about $50
O00 The first floor was occupied by the
Union cycle company, and the rest by }.
K. Dexter s. Co.
The third block, owned and occupied by
James Doolan, also rag dealer soon went
up In smoke and the fire continued to
spread.
At 2 o'clock five blocks were destroyed
and the fire was still raging.
The Glendower hotel and the Fullei
block, the largest and costliest in the city
were threatened, and help was then sum
moned from Holyoke.
At 2.50 the fire spread to the Abbt
block and Glendower hotel.
1t was only after TIE fercest struggle
on the part of the local and Holyoke de
partments that the fire was finally gotter

One Freight Allowed to Move.

Valley railroad through Bound Brook

W. WAsHINGToN, Nov. 23.-Affairs in
Hawaii are left in very interesting con'
dition by the reports brought by tho
steamer Australia, particularly AS viewed
in the new light cast by the publication Of
Commissioner Blount's report. Every
body is now anxiously waiting for the ar
rival of the Alameda, which sailed from
Honolulu last Thursday and is due at
San Francisco to- morrow AS this vessel
will bring advices five days later than
those brought by the Austral !, it has
been assumed that they will lie more
significant and important as indicating
more clearly the policy to be pursued by
Minister Wills. But there are what'may
be regarded as good reasons for the belief
that the curiosity of the public is again
to be disappointed. 1t is doubtful whether
the islanders, at the date of sailing OF the
Alameda, had received the news con-
tanned in Secretary Gresham's letter.
He was born In Morgan county, o., SO
years ago, and 30 years Later moved to
Wisconsin, settling near his present home,
In what was then Bad Axe county. Few
men have held so many public positions.
Up to war times he had served in many
local offices; was member of the assem-
bly, in 1862, and during the summer fol-
lowing was commissioned major of tho
goth Wisconsin, of which regiment he
afterwards became colonel, and at the
close of the war was commissioned brevet
brigadier- general In 1866 he was bank
comptroller, and WAS elected member Of
the 42nd, 43d and 44th congresses; was
rendered by President Garfield the mission
to Paraguay and Uruguay, the mission to
Denmark and the chief of the bureau Of
printing and engraving, all of which were
declined. He was elected governor of
Wisconsin in 1881, and served for three
terms a distinction never accorded to any
citizen of state with the exception Of
Gen. Lucius Fairchild. When Gen. Har.
rison became president in 1880, he called
Governor Rusk into his cabinet as secre-
tary of agriculture.

TARIFF BILLS WE'RE MISSING.
For a Time the Comm ittee Was
Greatly Excited.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--There was quite
an excitement yesterday afternoon in the
ways and means committee room. Two
copies of the newly prepared tariff bills
were found to be missing when the COM
mittee met for the afternoon session The
member who was responsible for the loss
confessed that he had carried them over
to the pie counter of the senate restaurant
and laid them by his plate while he swal-
lowed his noon-day repast. He supposed
that he had forgotten them and hurried
back to the senate wing Of the capitol, bus
the bills had disappeared.
One OF the members of the committee
suggested that they had probably fallen
into the hands of the newspaper men and
that the entire bill, SO far as outlined,
would appear in all Of the morning
papers.
This remark caused great consterna-
ton.

room, in which all the members partici-
pated, followed When the excitement
was at its height the copies We're found
where waggish member of the commit
tee, who had taken them from the pie
counter, had hidden them, and quiet was
| again restored.

Capt. Zalinski said that the new cruiser
sailed little before 9 o'clock Her ex-
act destination was not known even to
her commander as she was under sealed
orders. The captain said that every man
in the crew seemed entirely satisfied and
even enthusiastic over his mission. No
fear was evinced either at the prospect of
encounter with one of Mello's war ships or
of accident in handling the dynamite
gun.
The gun worked splendidly and the men
selected to man it showed remark able
aptitude.
They had used dummy projectiles in the

aware, no one on the vessel knew.

THANKSGIVING DAY PARDoNs.


An old Custom OF "Surprising" in
Massachusetts to Be stopped.
BosToN, Nov. 90. 1t is understood that
the great event of the year at the state
prison-the formal ceremony of 'surpris.
ing" the two lucky life-term men who are
pardoned according to custom on Thanks
giving Day, by apprising them of their
good fortune before all their assembled
fellow prisoners-will be done away with
under theme warden. With many others
who know the feelings of the convicts or
who have witnessed the proceedings and
its effect, Warden Bridges considers the
ceremony bit of refined cruelty.
The usual public reception and festivi-
ties at the state prison will be dispensed
with this year. The pardons will be read
to the two lucky convicts in private, and
they will go quietly to their chosen dasti
nations. The public will be denied the
privilege of visiting and only the priso-
ners will be allowed to attend the services
in the chapel in the morning. This is the
wish of Warden Bridges, who says that
the strain OF the suspense on the life men
while waiting through the hours of the
entertainment to hear who the chosen
ones are, is terrible, and has more than
disheartening effect upon those who are
not selected.
