The Future Of Farming.

The so called bonanza wheat farms of
the northwest and the big farms of the
California valleys grew out of transient
conditions that no longer preyail-the
California farms out OF the old Spanish
land grants and the Minnesota and Da-
kota farms out of the congressional
grants to railroads. The history of the
northwestern big farms is that the land
was purchased from the railroad COM
panies with deprecated stock and cost
originally about 81 per acre. The low
price of wheat and the higher price of
land have changed the whole aspect of
large farming. There is no bonanza in
the big farm now. 1t makes but a
moderate profit On the capital it repre-.
sents in average crop years, and with a
bad crop it barely pays running eXpen-
SEES. 1t requires as careful management
as a factory. l believe that we are
now in a transition period in agricul-
ture. The influence of machinery has
been fully eXerted. There are no more
fertile lands on the globe to be conquer
ed by civilization and to increase the
food supply. With growth of popuIa-
ton will come better prices for farm
products. Farm life will become more
attractive. The tendency to largefarms
will will be checked. Ahundred acres,
even with exclusive grain farming, will
afford IA good living to family. Bet
ter times for American agriculture are
not far oir.-E. V. Smalley in Forum.

TRAGEDY IN A BATH HOUSE.
A Lover Kills His Sweetheart and Then
Commits Suicide.

The Girls Death Suppored to Have
Been Caused by Chloroform Admins
tered by Titus Without Murderous
Intent-seeing That He Had Killed
Her, He Laid Her Out as if in Her
Coffin and Then Fired a Bullet Into
His Brain.
Sea Cliff, L. l., Oct 1s.-The dead bodies
Of Miss Mary Duff and her betrothed
husband, Elicit l.. Titus of Brooklyn,
we're found late last night in bath house
on the beach belonging to Peter Duff, the
Young lady's father. Titus had called to
see Miss Duff Tuesday evening, but was
missed from the house early, under cir
cumstances that caused the family to
search for him. The next morning it was
discovered that Miss Duff had not occu-
pied her room the previous night. A
search for the couple was fruitless until
last night, when the bath houses were
examined. The latter are merely frame
cabins, large enough for one person to
use as a dressing room, and had been
locked and abandoned for the season. The
keys of Duff's bath houses could not be
found, so they were broken open. In
one of them the couple was
found, Miss Duff was lying on
her back on the floor, with her
hands carefully folded on her breast,
her dress neatly and tidily arranged,
and her face blood-stained.
Titus body was found in a corner with
bullet in his brain. The walls and floors
of the bath room were covered with blood.
The door of the bath house in which
the bodies were found was locked and
the keys had been removed from the lock.
The neat and tidy way in which every
thing about his victim was arranged
shows that after killing the girl Titus,
before taking his own life, must have
paused long enough to compose his
victim for her last long sleep. So far as
known, there was not even the slightest
shadow between the dead couple, and
had they lived they would have been
married next spring Miss Duff was about
% years of age. Titus has resided on
Clinton street, Brooklyn, with an aunt
He has spent a great deal of time in
the family of Mr.. Duff and has been be-
trothed to Miss Mary several years.

brother-in-law, reports that the result OF

and offered Miss Duff small quantity tc

he again prescribed the same in larger

and the drug caused her death. Titus
shot himself. The blood on Miss Duf's
face and clothing proved to have come

WENT TO BUY GREEN GOODS.
A Man Claiming to be From Savannah
Saved From Human Sharks.

Philadelphia, Oct. lS.-The intervention
of the police has probably saved $3.50 for
William L. Fulton of Savannah, Ga, as
otherwise It would now be in the hands
of green goods sharpers. Fulton came
north with a man giving the name of
Seiba King of Waycross, Ga, for the pur-
pose of purchasing green goods with his
$780, King is alleged to be a steerer for the
green goods men, and took Fulton and
another man named Johnson to New
York.
They arrived there Monday, but found
that the stirring up of the police circles
by the Lexow committee made 1t impos-
sible for them to do business in New York
Accordingly they came here and johnson
left them and went to Detroit. The sus-
picious actions of the pair led to their ar
rest tonight. and they were locked up on
the technical charge Of conspiracy Full
ton stated at the police station that he
was in the grocery business, and that A.
nancial embarrassments had led him to
borrow $3.50 and come north with King to
buy green goods.
