During fifteen years. 1t appears. the area

about 81 per cent. as against n population
Increase OF 10 per cent. in the ninth decade,
while the aggregate value OF the products
diminished 81 per cent. in fifteen years. and
were worth 4.3 per cent less in 1899 than in
1870. There Is here nothing suggesting
that products had increased even one-third
OF TAO per cent.
So great was the effect of intensive cul-
ture In Louisiana between 1874 and 1889.
that the yield OF corn fell from nm aver
age of 175 bushels an acre in the first half
OF the eighth decade to l6.l bushels in the
latter half of the ninth decenniul period,
while the yield of oats shrunk from 1875
bushels an acre to 11.3 bushels, and the
yield OF cotton was greater in the first half
OF the eighth decade than until 1890.
Unfortunately there arc not at our COM
mand. whatever may be the case with our
esteemed contemporary. data showing con-
clusively that intensive culture has In
creased the acreablc yield of sugar. while all
the evidence in our possession goes to show
that nearly II not quite all such increase OF
the sugar product as has obtuined is due TO
an expansion OF the acreage and to such an
augmentation Of the sugar recovered from
ton OF cane as is due to improved milling.

Furthermore, as population increased, and
settled Industrial conditions once more OBJ
tanned, the lands formerly in cultivation
failed to furnish the needed employment
and new acres were reduced to cultivation.
These were necessarily lands OF lower aver
age fertility. and aided in still further re-
ducing the average yield an acre. The de-
terioration Of the older lands and the in
fertility OF the recent additions necessitated

MIsSsLIrIAN WHITING.

In the brief space of three days she
accented the chair of editor in chief
of the Boston Budget, which position
she still occupies. On this paper she
does wide variety Of work, all of the
strictly editorial matter, the literary re-
views and the distinctive and delightful
column called .Le Beau Monde" In this
she discusses with clairvoyant clever
ness and marked acumen all the topics
that engage tie earnest Thought Of ad-
vaneed, broad 1u;naed men and women,
and it is a have III garnered sweets, nour-
ishing sa1 patAs5hle.
Besides All Tits, Miss Whiting contrib
utss wssssss letters to the New Orleans
Times-D Democrat, st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat and Chicago Inter Ocean, each one
separate and distinct. She writes also
essays and poems for magazines and has
made some lovely songs that have been
set to music. She is actuated always
by noble aspirations and works toward
high standards. She believes in "jour-
nalisn as a ministry, as means by
which the journalist may contribute his
part to the general progress, and that
this aim is the supreme one, its material
rewards being Incidental to its higher
possibilities"
Tt would seem that worker so indus
trious as Miss Whiting and so prolific a
creator would be entirely absorbed in
this pursuit, but she is close student as
we'll and finds time for social duties and
recreations. She entertains many noted
people in her luxurious apartments at
the Brunswick, in Boston. and is as
eagerly sought by the givers of fashion
able receptions as she is welcome in the
most exclusive circles of art, music and
letters.
As to Miss Writings personality, an
adniring woman friend has written:
"Si1e is an unusually aesthetic woman.
She has a purely spiritual countenance,
and at times it is like perfect poem

Especial Correspondence.l


Especial Correspondence
BOSTON, March 9.-One of the bright
est of Boston's galaxy of literary women
is Miss Lillian Whiting, who for the past
two years has edited The Budget Of this
city, winning great deal Of well merited
praise and admiration. By the sound
ness, maturity and wisdom Of her writ
ings Miss Whiting has attained position
in Journalism that is unique, and a few
words about her may be interesting and
instructive to the general reader.
Though she was born at Niagara Falls,
Miss Whiting traces her ancestry back
to the Rev. William Whiting, an emil
nent New England divine of the sew
enteenth century, and on her mothers
side to brilliant old French family.
Her parents moved to Illinois when she
was an infant and became the principals
of graded school there. Later her IA
Their was an editor, afterward member
of the legislature, and for IS consecutive
years state senator. Both father and
mother were literary in their tastes.
Miss Whiting was educated for the most
part by private tuition.
In 1879, when mere girl, she formed
a connection with Mr.. Murat Halstead's
paper, the Cincinnati Commercial (now
The Commercial Gazette), and remained
there a year. In 1880 she came to Bos-
ton, where she was engaged by The
Evening Traveller to ELL the responsible
position of art critic. Four year later
she was appointed literary editor, which
position she filed with decided ability I'M
til the year 1890. when the paper changed
hands, and Miss Whiting resigned.

The House took up the amendments to
the ballot law today and passed the bill.
Several attempts we're made to amend it,
but without success.
Mr.. Emerson spoke briefly for the bill.
Hestated that the committee had very
carefully considered it and had heard
suggestions from all parts Of the state.
The bill had been amended as best to
comply with such suggestions and he
hoped it would pass as it had passed the
Senate.
Mr.. Scott of Patten introduced an
amendment providing that the voters In
the booths shall face the outside rail so
that his hands shall be screened from
view.
Mr.. Emerson hoped this amendment
would not pass. 1t had been incorporat-
| ed in the bill as originally reported and
| stricken out because Of the expense it
| would place upon towns in changing
| booths already constructed.
Mr.. Scott said he didn't see how there
could be much expense in turning about
the booths and tearing off the top boards
| and it would prevent the people outside
| from seeing how a man marked a ballot,
| it could be done now.
The amendment was rejected and the
