An interesting incident in connection
with the dinner was the reading by DR..

to Nathan Hale by the Continental con-

General Howard and Mayor Gilroy

other singers on the platform.
Frederick Samuel Tallmadge, presi.
dent OF the New York society Sons of
the Revolution, in presenting the statue
to the city addressed these words to the
mayor:
MAYOR 0ILRoY: One thousand three
hundred Sons of the Revolution ask
your acceptance in behalf of the city of
New York, OF the statue to Capt. Nathan
Hale. He stands, sir, with his back to
the courts of justice-that justice de-
MED him in the closing moments of his
life. His face turned to the multitude
who pass him in their daily walks of
life, invites them to pause while and
ask why one who regretted that he had
ONLY one life to lose for his country
should still live in the hearts of his
country men for III years. He will tell
them, sir, OF the source OF their prosper
ity ae citizens OF this great republic and
OF the protection afforded them by our
constitution in the hour OF trouble and
adversity as a nation. Above all, he
will tell them how soldier can die for
his country.
There. sir, let him stand in the majes-
ty of offended dignity, 30 long as his
native hills shall defy the blasts OF
winter or bloom with the flowers of
summer.
One OF the most interesting speakers
of the occasion was Rsv. Edward Ever

nephew of Nathan Hale. He said:

Disagreeable Stupidity.

Commissioner Senner has decided to
send Gustav Weingarten back to Ger
many on the ground that he is weak
minded and that his parents abroad can
care for him. Weingarten came on the
Roland, Nov. IA, and went to the house
of his sister Emma, 16 Garden street,
Brooklyn. She took him to Ellis island
Saturday. Her father, she said, was
Professor Doreus Weingarten of the fac
ulty of the University of Wurzberg.
Having studied dentistry, the boy COM
menced his career i'll this country as an
assistant in a Brooklyn dentists office
Gustav put young woman patient
under the influence of gas and drew six
of her front teeth, all sound, for which
he was dismissed. His sister got him
one position after another, all of which
he lost by reason of his stupidity. New

remarks will appeal to every patriotic
American. This is a part of what he
said:
Our armies have always been COM
posed OF individuals. That army of the
revolution was our army, hence the in
dividuals, and we are not surprised to
find eome of those individuals to have
shown themselves most remarkable
men. Washington, the general, for ex-
ample, in spite of his truthfulness, after
the war became president OF the United
States; Hamilton, battery command
er, in spite of his decision of character
and financial honesty, became secretary
OF the treasury; and more remarkable
still, Andrew Jackson, born between the
governors Of North Carolina and South

Democrat or third-party men shall
have the salaries. And even this doc
trine has been far from realization, on
account of the immaculate courts, the
cosmopolitan navy and the sleepless

If there is man in the world who can
live without money it is the man with

in the world fixed to get hold of money
when money is scarce it is the man with

live on what he produces, and he has so
many little things to sell that he can get
money if any one can. In fact he is
nearer independence than any man on top

man in a corner who has twenty acres of

a man so sustained can get out of debt
very quickly. He is at least the last man

He met his match at Los Angeles, how
ever, as Col. Hinton, representing New
Mexico, seems to have foored him. The
statement that the half billion acres of
the public domain in the arid region are
useless for agriculture, is part of silly
and selfish policy of self-aggrandisement.
Major Powell has rooted idea that the
far west, with its glorious canons, tower
ing mountains and sweeping plains, is a
natural reserve, to be used as summer
camping ground BY himself and other
scientific idiots, so that they may gather
material for winter lectures on what they
don't know about the west.

A PERSISTENT ENEMY.

Major John w. Powell, misdirector OF
the geological survey and autocrat OF
American science, in debate with Col.
Richard j. Hinton and Judge J. s. Emory,
of Kansas, affirmed that the remaining
public lands we're only fit for stock rails

same Major Powell Illuminated the decree
that trees could not grow west of the
Tooth meridian. His persistent enmity
to the west has lead him into many more
silly statements, the result of which has
been his reputation by the arid region
To-day there are 5O,OO0,OOO planted treei

SUGAR BETS.

From the foreign reports it is learned
that the average acreage In Germany de-
voted to sugar beets in 1888, 1889 and
1890 was 100000 acres, and that the aver
age yield was 3,037 pounds of sugar per
acre. The German beets carry about ~
per cent of sugar. The American product
contains from Is to 10 per cent. II the
Germans with their low average of sugar
can produce over ton and half to the
acre, New Mexico, with its high grade
beets, can 90 considerably over two tons
All that is required is the same care and
intelligence devoted to its culture. Every
year the sugar imports increase by about
half million pounds. New Mexico has
a good opportunity for wealth if she will
only start into the sugar business largely

have resided in the territory sixty days
may vote. All except Indians not taxed
will have civil, religious and political
rights. Provision must be made for a
public school system open to all and free

and colleges are provided by the bill, and
