FOR NEW YORK's POOR.
The Scheme of Potato Farms Has Been
Adopted.

Adopted.
NEW YORK, March 16.-The New York
charities conference has decided to
adopt the scheme of potato farms for the
poor which was inaugurated by Mayor
Pingree of Detroit last summer. A COM
mittee has been appointed to carry out
the plan on a large scale and active work
has been commenced.
The plan is simply obtaining the use
of idle tracts of land in the city and
dividing them up into patches of one
third of an acre for each family. Pota-
toes for planting and other vegetable
seeds will be furnished. Each man must
then attend to his little farm and all
the products are his own.
& Mr.. VIM. Steinway has offered the use
of tract of land containing 200 acres in
Long Island City and ex- Mayor Hewitt
gives large tract in Inwood and Column
bia college donates seven acres Of its
new site on Morning Side heights. All
these offers were received before any
public appeal was made and it is ex-
pected that thousands of acres will be
rendered when asked for.
New York has large amount of IN
occupied land. According to a census
taken by Postmaster Dayton, through the
letter carriers, there are 1899 vacant
lots, containing over 1000 acres. below
West One Hundred and Forty fifth stree I
and the Harlem river. In the annexed
district are many thousands of acres that
the committee expects to be offered for
the summers use.

GIFTS TO FOOL THE PUBLIC

The condemning of alum as an IN
wholesome ingredient in baking powders
by the Government authorities as we'll as
by physicians generally, has not deferred
manufacturers of such powders from
foisting them on an unsuspecting public
Following is a partial list Of the alum
powders found in the stores:
"Calumet," "Chicago Yeast" ''Kenton,"
"Grant's Bon Bon" "Hotel," "Taylor's
One sR poo .G Gi%a1, u; nsno% Puff"
"Unrivalled," "silver STAR" Davis o.
K" "Forest City," "Monarch," "K. c."
Loyal" "Manhattan.' Crystal"
"Hatchet," "Home," "Echo." "Perfec-
tion." "Rocket." "Town Talk" "Vienna,"
'White Rose,' etc.
1t is safe to reject all brands sold with
prize. All powders sold at twenty five
cents or less pound are sure to be made
of alum. DR.. Wiley, the Government
Chemist, in his official examination of
baking powders at the Worlds Fair,
threw out all 'alum powders" chasing
them as unwholesome.

GOVERNOR McKINLEY's presidential
boom may be said to be fairly launched.
There is perhaps no other way in which
he could attract more attention to it than
by setting it afoat at the QUITO the-way
village of Thomasville, Ga. AS the Re-
publican party of the south is mostly
made up of manufacturers and sugar
planters it is not improbable that he will
be able to enter the convention backed
by an almost solid delegation from be-
yond Masons and Dixon's line. These
are not the states, however, that elect
Republican presidents and Governor
Mckinley should not lose sight of this
fact No candidate of any party who is
not unequivocally in favor of the free
coinage of silver can reasonably hope
to carry many states south and west of
Ohio If the wishes of the people shall
be considered the name of the Republi-
can candidate for president in 1895 has
not yet been suggested.

SECRETARY GRESHAM has instructed
our minister at Madrid to demand of the
Spanish government that it apologize for
shooting at one of our merchant vessels
and do it quick. The demand is made
in such way that unless it be complied
with there will be but one course open.
A war with some nation that we can
whip would be great boon to the pres
ent administration. 1t would not only
divert the minds of the people from the
incompetency and rascality of the Demo-
cratic party but it would afford seeming
justification of the enormous expendi-
lures which have been made in building
a navy. If the trouble should result in
the acquisition of Cuba the president
and his cabinet would retire at the end
of their terms in blaze of glory and the
Democratic party would point with
pride" to the event for the next hundred
years.

A Colorado Convict Who Lost His Mind by
Solitary Confinement

Solitary Confinement.
DENVER, March 16.-The district court
is hearing arguments on a motion for the
discharge from custody of Henry Tyson,
convicted of murder and sentenced to be
hanged, but whose sentence was sus-
pended on account of insanity.
For three years the miserable man was
confined in cell, allowed to see or talk
with no one. He lost both sight and
hearing and the power of motion. But
when Warden McListor took charge of
the penitentiary in 1892, two convicts
were detailed each day to exercise Tyson.
Gradually the tortured man regained
his senses, his eyesight returned and
finally he could distinguish sounds. A
jury has now declared him sane and he
may be re-sentenced to be hanged, His
attorneys hope to secure his release on
the ground that he was convicted under
an ex post facto law.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua. May 1.-The
Nicaraguan government has formally
decided To accede to the compromise
proposition of the settlement of the
pending trouble and this decision has
been communicated To the authorities
at Washington and London.
According to this proposition, Mica
ragua agrees to pay the S77,5OO in Lon
don fifteen days from the time
the British ships leave the harbor
of Corinto. 1t now remains for Great
Britain to agree To this condition. The
governments course is regarded as
shifting on Great Britain all fur
ther responsibility for the trouble.
The most positive assurances of the
prompt payment of the money have
been given, SO that there may be no
question of uncertainty on this point.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May L. A
leading Nicaraguan statesman, IN an
interview Tuesday, said:
'Our government has received no on
cial advices from Washington, by which
we gather that the Americans have
turned their backs upon us, and re-
fuse to succor us in the hour OF trial The
English have at least pluck in their favor.
They have the insolence TO defy, through us,
the entire American continent, while the
United States can never justify their
weakness of action which will remain blot
upon their history. Weak and small as our
nation is we have shown more courage than
the United States, who encouraged us, only to
desert US at the last moment"
In concluding, he said that he would
have preferred to see the much-vaunt-
ed Monroe doctrine die more dlgni.
