DEDICATION AT MANASSAS
New Rowland Hall to Be Opened for Good
Work.
The Industrial School Successful De-
spite Disaster-PrOgrnm to
Be Followed.

The new Rowland Hall at the Manassas
Industrial School is to be dedicated tomor-
row with interesting exercises, and large
number of Washingtonians who are interest
ed in the success of the institution will be
present and participate 1t will be remem-
bered the first building erected on the
grounds of the Manassas Industrial School
and dedicated by Frederick Douglass on
September 3, 1891, known as Rowland Hall,
in honor of the donor, Miss Emily Rowland,
was destroyed by fire during the blizzard of
last winter. Renewed energy in behalf of a
Eew building has resulted in the erection of
more attractive and commodious structure
than the other, which is still to be called
Rowland Hall. The first Rowland Hall con-
tanned but sixteen rooms, without cellar
attic or furnaces, and the fire resulted from
a defective f1ue in stove heating. The new
building is much larger and safer, contain
ing thirty-nlne rooms cellar with four
furnaces and a spacious attic. Special at
tention has been given to the furnace set
ting, and the fues are fire proof, the sheet
iron pipes being 1nclosed in terra Gotta,
that there may be no possibility of last win
ter's disaster being repeated.
Valuable Friends of the School.
Of the many friends who most generous
ly aided in the collection of funds for re-
building, none were more Jealous than
Mrs. Bernard Whitman of Boston and
Mrs. Burton Harrison of New York. These
two gifted women. each the center of lit
erary society in her own city. We're the
unfailing friends of Jennie Dean, whose
untiring work for the Manassas school is
now so we'll known, and through their
combined efforts, with the gift of another
thousand dollars from Miss Rowland, add
ed to the insurance received from the first
building. this larger Rowland Hall was
made possible.
The Manassas Industrial School bids fair
to be one of the most reliable and sue
cessful institutions for industrial training
in the country. Experienced educators
have pronounced the first years work ex-
cellent, Notwithstanding the episode of the
lire, the manual methods being modern
and scientific, the English training thor
ough, and the school maintaining a high
standard of morality and discipline.

The dedicatory exercises tomorrow will
begin on the school grounds at 1870 am.

The democratic state convention Of New

chose as their nominee for governor Chan
ceIlor of the State Alex. 7. McGill of Hud-
son county. The convention, as compared
with that held a week ago by the repub-
licans, when John W. Griggs was selected
as their standard bearer, was tame, al
though there was no lack of interest in the
work to be accomplished by the gathering.
Chancellor McGll's nominate was a
foregone conclusion, the fight put up by
the friends of his only opponent, ex-Con-
gresham Cutler. being rather feeble Only
one ballot was required, McGill receiving
all but 143 of the 800 votes cast, and be-
fore the vote was announced every vote
polled for Cutler was changed to McGill, so
that the honor came TO the latter backed
by the unanimous vote of the delegates.

Care lcssness in Handling Powder
Leads to FrIghtful Accident.
The worst accident that ever occurred at
Leadville, Col, happened yesterday after
noon at the Belgian mine, resulting in the
death of six miners and the injuring of
four others. The dead are ]. H Gray, John
Hanlill, Clark McGinnis. John Beggs, Chris
Phillips, Ed Kuhn; and the injured, ]. H.
Reynolds, James Baxter, Alex. Parker and
John Waters.
The men were working in a drift and
slope about ten feet above the lower levels
where fifty pounds of powder had been
stored. Superintendent Doddridge had posi-
lively forbidden more than five pounds of
powder to be taken into the mine at one
time, but it is known that fifty pounds was
in the slope at the time. Five and ten
pounds of this was in an oil can warming
with lighted shuffies under it. In some
manner it exploded. and the conclusion set
off the remaining powder. This terrific
shock caused dirt to block the SLOPE and
the men could not get out, and six of them
slowly srnothered to death.

thought they were devotedly fond of him.
But If you had heard them talking about
him, when he was not present, you would
have reconsidered this conclusion.
One misfortune. to be sure, he had met
with it; it concerned his only son, Peter.
This young gentleman had been put in the

Irrigation Methods.

A Nebraska correspondent Of Amer
can Agriculturist writes: l have OBJ
served irrigation methods in California
Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska and
many other states, and my conclusions
as TO methods and results are as follows
/. The best method is the old and well
known one of gravitation, taking the
water from streams and conveying in
bitches to the land where it is to be
used. Subirrigation, where it is prac
ticable, gives good results Where wa
ter is raised by pumping with lift of
10 to 40 feet, water wheel or turbine
wheel connected with a centrifugal
pump is cheapest and most satisfactory
Windmills for lifting water for the or.
dinary farmers garden or small truck
farming are desirable, provided wooden
tanks are used or the soil is such that a
watertight reservoir can be built Cen
trifugal pumps, water elevators or other
pumps when driven by steam or gaso
line engines horse power or other ex
pensive methods, are impracticable.
do not regard any method practicable
for general grain farming except where
water flows direct from streams in
bitches at nominal cost.

cabbage family require great deal Of
water. All plants in dry climate
should be pushed in their early stages

water is applied, which is sad mis-
take. When to irrigate and the proper
amount of water to apply the farmer
himself must decide. The humidity or

The best time to irrigate is early in
the morning before the sun becomes hot
or in the evening when it is about to go
below the horizon. A good time is when
a cloud comes up and a shower is ex
pected. The work should not be done
when the sun is shining hot, as the

SOME FACTS
Relating to a Valuable Dis
COvGTy
hich 1t is Claimed
Will Cure Every
Form of Piles.
Interesting Statement of a Well
Known Druggist of Ypsi-
lauti, Mich.

Mr.. Frank Smith, the we'll known and
popular druggist of Ypsilanti, Mich, in
speaking of the Pyramid Pile Cure, says
"A year ago 1 sold @. @. Potter, 11f
Hamilton street, Ypsilanti, Mich, box
of the Pyramid Pile Cure. He made the
following statement to me today: 81
have been troubled for twenty years with
itching piles. Have tried nearly every.
thing that promised relief, but got very
little help until one year ago called on
my druggist, Frank Smith, and got box
of the Pyramid Pile Cure. The one box
used according to directions was, in my
case, perfect cure, as year spent with.
out any symptoms of the trouble has con.
vinced me-"
The Pyramid Pile Cure not only gives
instant relief in every form of piles, but
the relief Is permanent. The piles are
cured and stay cured, and whether itch.
ing, protruding or bleeding piles, the
results are equally satisfactory. 1t is
rapidly taking the place Of ordinary
salves, ointments and lotions, as well as
surgical operations; first, because IL cures,
and further, because 1t is cleanly, con.
venient painless. One can use 1t and &c
about his daily occupation as il is applied
at night and no attention Is required
during the day. Furthermore, It is also
absolutely safe, containing no opium,
cocaine or mineral poisons so common in
ordinary pile cures. Send to the Pyra.

THE T SUPER.

ent were recently illustrated in Ameri-
can Gardening, either Of which has its
advantages and stanch advocates. The
first pattern shown is the older method,
and is known as the 7 super. 1t is par
ticularly intended for tiering up in Sim
plicity hives. These supers are made to
set down inside the upper half story
and to contain four rows of seven one
pound sections, or 2S pounds in all This
number just fills ten frame Simplicity
hive. When filled with honey the entire
super may be removed at once. Or, if for
want of proper storage room or for any
other cause this course is inconvenient,
just raise the filled super from its place,
substitute one containing empty sections,
set the filed super on top, surround
with two half or one full story, and re-
place the cover. There you have your
honey Mt the same time safe from harm
and out of the way. Indeed the practice
is very generally in vogue Of raising the
super before the sections are filed, the
bees being then compelled to pass
through the added empty sections i'll or
der to reach those in the super nearly
finished This gets them much more
promptly at work in the empty sections
and stimulates their production, as they
work much more readily when there is
plenty of space to fill than after they be-
lieve their work Of filling up nearly
done. Care must be taken, however, not
to resort to this tiering up process when
the honey flow is too nearly over, else
the result will be two partially filled su-
pers instead of one properly sealed and
ready for market.
The other process illustrated consists
of section holders in place Of the super.
These are not unlike the sides and bot
tom of the brood racks except that they
are wider and only half as deep. They
have no top bars Into each of these
holders four one pound sections are
placed, just filling it, One of the advan-
tages claimed for this contrivance is
that if one wishes for any reason to re-

Corn For sIIaee.

Corn has been the main silage crop,
though some sorghum, Kaffir corn and
other green folders have also been used.
But, all things considered, there is no
crop which will yield more nutrition to
the acre, one year with another, than
corn. For ensiluge we plant somewhat
closer than we do when a crop is grown
for grain. An experiment showed that
we got the heaviest yields when the
rows were 3. 3 feet apart and the stalks
four inches apart in the row.
Several plans for covering the silo
have been tried, but of them all we
have found nothing better than layer
Of green grass some six or eight inches
thick when settled, spread evenly on
top Of the silage, and this covered with
a few loads of earth sufficient in weight
to pack the grass down closely and thus
exclude the air. Covered in this way,
there is comparatively little decayed ST..
