A good story is told on william A. Eddy.
scientist and inventor of the tandem system
OF kites for registering the upper currents
OF air. He resides In Bergen Point, ". j..
and on Sundays he would experiment ali
day with his kites, sending dozens OF taem
10 at a time. One of his neighbor's little
boys used TO help him fly the kites for the
sport. one day ne said frankly to the sci
enlist: do you know, / am so glad you
are crazy" The man OF science smiled and
asked who said he was crazy. Oh. papa
and everybody says you are crazy" re-
Piled the boy. and / am glad, because they
say you would not fly kites II you were not
crazy" But when Helm Clayton. Mark
Harrington and other meteorological experts
visited Dir. Eddy and watched his kit ex-
periments the boy admitted that his father
said he was not so crazy as he appeared
Il amuseS Mr.. Eddy immensely. :

American farmers almost always desire
more land than they can properly work
II they do not make money they generally
think the reason is they have not land
enough. and often run in debt for more.
but the mortgage which they acquire with
IL runs on increasingly. while the land pro-
duces only in the growing season. So in
the end the mortgage often wins. some one
else takes the farm and the old process is
repeated, with only new actors in the pro-
grainme. This thing often repeated has set
farmers thinking as il should. Possibly
they have been mistaken in thinking more
land was the requisite condition 70 prosper
ity. Fewer acres and better will usually
give better promise of success.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Senate
Sugar Trust investigating committee was
in session to-day, with the intention of de-
voting its time exclusively, as long as
should be necessary, TO the question which
has been raised by the refusal of the news
paper correspondents, Edwards, Shriver
and Walker, to answer questions as to who
gave them certain information printed in
their dispatches. The committee is under
stood to be unanimous in the opinion that
the correspondents canno be excused from
replying to questions put, on the grounds
laid down by the Supreme Court in de-
cisions bearing on the constitutional rights
of witnesses and all of them are reported
to be of the opinion that, under presidents
established in former Senate and House
Investigations of like nature, the witnesses
can be compelled to divulge the sources of
the on which they based their
newspaper contributions.
Bourke Cochran appeared before the COM
mittee and denied that he h1d said or knew
anything about the subject which the COM
mittee was investigating or that he had
ever given any person the impression
that he had such Information. After hear
ing Cochran the committee adjourned until
Monday without reaching a decision on the
question of the course TO be pursued to-

derstood that the decision of the committee
on this point will be reached on Monday.

county Republicans are disposed to accept
the result of the Hammond convention with
out protest and the talk Of holding another
convention finds nc supporters here. While
it is true that Judge Johnston has many
warm friends in the county, there is no
talk OF a bolt. The Goodland Herald, a
pronounced Johnston paper, says, editor

Of the convention and pledges support to
the nominee. Mr.. John AIDE. County Re-
corder Higgins and other prominent john
ston men, talk in the same vein. The re-
port that six Johnston delegates bolted the

a Johnston man, was chairman OF the del
egation and remained with it from first

correspondent of the Hong Kong Tele-
graph, under date of April Is, says: AN
epidemic which has already wrought con-
siderable havoc in the congested parts of
the city claimed its first victim about a
fortnight ago, and since then has carried
off thousands Of natives. The symptoms
of this disease are somewhat similar to
to the ravages of a plague hat decimated
the population of Hochow ten years ago.
The first indication is high fever, speedily
followed by an enlargement of glands sit
uated in the region of the arm pits and
groin. Death usually ensues about twenty
four hours after the first symptoms have
developed. The cause of the malady is I'M
doubtedly foul water and bad drainage.

A PUT UP JOB.
A Bit OF Clever Work ssets the
United Press in the Hole.

New York, Nov. 12.-The natives of
the tributary state of Newyauhaur, in the
province of Orissa, have revolted against
their ruler, Shit Ell Otspueht.
SO reads cablegram sent to the Asso-
ciated Press from Calcutta last week,
with the exception of the name of the
Rajah. The New York Press says to-day:
Now the Associated press is nothing,
if not truthful. There was a method in
the fiction quoted about the name of the
Rajah telegraphed to all newspapers it
served. The management had grown
confident that the United Press for a
long time has been in the habit of ap-
propriating dispatches put on the wires
by the Associated Press. To prove be-
yond peradventure the truth of this sup
position, it was decided to send forth a
cablegram of alleged news, true or false,
that could injure no interests in the
United States and be of little moment.
Not only did the unfortunate Rajah
figure in the Associated Press news
papers Saturday morning, but strange to
say, he appeared in all his shameless
mendacity in the United Press papers as
well. Readily the bait had been taken. The
United Press had appropriated it's rivals
news and that treacherous Rajah had
audaciously placed together letters of his
name in such way that, reading back
ward, they rscite fact undisputable
