DON'T PUSH.
There Is Room Enough In tho United
states for 945,76G.3OO People.

There Is Room Enough In tho United
states for 94J 76G. 800 People.
Have you any idea of the number of
persons that the United States would
sustain without overcrowding the popu-
lation or even going beyond the limit
of density now shown by the state of
Rhode Island? The last census of the
pigmy state just gives it population
of 500, ZOO. The area of the state in
square miles is only 1850; thus we find
that there is an average of SIS persons
on every square mile of her territory.
We can best illustrate the sustai ning
capacity of the whole of the United
States and of the other states by making
some comparisons. The state of Texas
has an area of 265,7S0 square miles; and,
were it equally as densely populated as
Little Rhody," would comfortably sus-
tain a population of SO, 523, 62s inhabi-
tants-a greater number of persons than
the whole country is expected to have in
the year 1900. Scatter people all over
the whole land from the Atlantic TO the
Pacific, and from the gulf to the Brit
ish possessions, as thickly as they are
now in Rhode Island, and we would
have 945, 766, 800 inhabitants, instead of
an insignificant 81 900, 900.
In other words, says the ST. Louis Re-
public, If the United States could be peo-
pied TO its utmost sustaining capacity,we
could take care of nearly two-thirds of
the present population Of the globe.

FARM LANDS IN DEMAND.
Pennsylvania Mechanics Anxious tn Leave
the Towns and Go Farming.


the Towns and Go Farming.
There has been brisk demand dur
ing the past summer and winter for
farms adjacent TO the city. says the
Newcastle Pa Guardian. This, no
doubt, has grown out of the uncertain
" of steady employment and reduction
of wages. Oecasioncd by the industrial
and business depression which has pre-
vailed. In tins city, although our in
dustrial establishments have run with
remarkable regularity under the circum-
stances there have been cuts in wages
which have made the man who earns
a living by the use of his hands very
uncertain regarding the future. His
past experience has taught him that
further regular employment cannot al
ways be looked forward TO, and the re-
duction in his earnings has caused him
more uneasiness, because IL makes it
more difficult for him TO provide for a
rainy day"
A reporter dropped into the Office of
one of the leading real estate agents,
and during the talk learned that there
had been quite demand for farms
within few miles of the central por-
ton of New Castle. Said the real es-
tate man: Farm property in Lawrence
county has been in good demand dur
ing the past fall and present winter.
There has not been much enhancement
In values of real estate growing out of
this call for such property as yet, but it
will undou btedly lead to it. Not only
are there quite number of persons
who desire to buy land of this kind,
but it is considered just at present the
best security by people who have money
TO loan at interest. A well-known
Lawrence county man just the other
day wanted me To loan for him six to
eighteen thousand dollars on farm
lands. He probably thought it a safer
investment than city property. Country
property is not subject to the fuctua-
tions of New Castle real estate by rea-
son of the fact that in the latter place
the shut-downs of industrial establish
ments have marked effect on the real
estate market. know of a number of
New Castle men who want to buy
farm property adjacent to the city.
One of these desires to invest six thou
sand and another five thousand dollars.
Mechanics in all trades have been here
during the past few months getting in
formation regarding farm values.
Some of these, should they purchase
farms, will quit working in our indus
trial plants, while others want their
property near town SO they can con-
tinue their vocation here"

ISlNGuASS MODELS.
A New Device to Enable Them to ShOy
How Their Goods Look.

How Their Goods Look.
recent device of the tailors to lure
customers into contracting bills is the
figure of man done in isinglass, says
the New York Sun. This figure is
about foot high, and is set in square
of cardboard. Sometimes it is in the
shape of man wearing sack suit,
while in others he wears a cutaway
outfit, and in others again frock suit.
The man himself is transparent as to
body, but his face is painted on, and he
wears collar and necktie of the latest
style, in paint He serves as an illus
tration, and he is designed to do away
with one of the banes of tailor's life,
the man who comes in to look at goods
and says:
"Ah, yes; it looks very nice in the
piece, but I'm not sure it would suit me
SO well made up I'll wait until you
cuts coat for some one else, and then
I'll come around and see how l like it."
Now when a customer springs this
ancient remark the tailor produces one
of his isinglass manikins, lays him over
the piece of cloth in question, and 10!
he stands forth fully clothed in a
wrinkleless suit of that pattern. With
cloth of uniform color or small pat
tern this device works very well, but in
a large check or stripe the pattern is so
greatly out of proportion to the size of
the suit as shown on the model that
the customer is likely to be affrighted
by its apparent loudness, and the wise
tailor uses his isinglass figure only
with the more modest designs of cloth.

HER SON A VICTIM.
Strange Poisoning story Told ny Mrs
Adams Darling

New YORK, April l9.-Mrs. Adams
Darling, the Virginia poetess whose
volume of southern war poems was re-
Gently published in this city, called last
week upon District Attorney Fellows
and made startling charge against
Mrs. Irving |. Darling. her dead sons
wife. She said:
my sons wife is "a wealthy Washington
girl. not more than IL years Of age. and j be-
lleve she l. weak-minded. She owns forty
houses in the best part of Washington, other
real estate. representing In all about ~ ,OOO-OOO
and bond holdings OF $4,000 more. They were
married in this city last year and shortly after
removed Co Detroit. where he met with a seri-
Gus accident Ultimately he fully recovered
Then. upon a second illness occurring. his
wife called in "a physician in Detroit. My son
frequently told me that some one was poison
Ing him"
From this point Mrs Darling's story
becomes less coherent. She relates the
death of her son. 1t is learned that
samples of the medicine taken by the
dead man have been submitted To eX-
perts for analysis Darling died in De-
troit, February 10, 1894. and his body
was cremated two days afterward. Pre-
vious To death Darling made a state
ment that his wife and DIR. Spranger
had Systematically poisoned him and
that he would die from the effects of
the drugs given him.
The motive, according TO the dead
mans mother, has now been established
through the public marriage of Dr.
Spranger to Mrs. Darling in Baltimore
on March 6 of this year DR.. Spranger
and his wife are now in southern Cali
fornia enjoying their honeymoon.
Mrs. Darling's son, Edward Irving
Darling, was musical composer and
poet Prominent among his best pro-
auctions was "a book entitled Echoes
of the Lake" Among his musical
works was THE Viking" which is to
be produced in short time. Others
