A Philadelphian who has been visit.
ing Jamaca says that the photographer
of the party induced a group of native
girls to pose for him. After arranging
them to his satisfaction, he prevailed
upon of the other girls to take peep
thro' the camera. What she saw quite
astonished her, and she lost no time in
imparting to the posers the fact that
she had seen them all standing on their
heads. The effect was ludicrous. When
the photograph was taken it revealed
each maiden frantically clutching her
skirts about her knees, while look Of
great distress appeared upon each black

For Success in TObacco culture.

|
DIR. William Frear, chemist of the
Pennsylvania Experiment Station, and
Edwin j. Haley, assistant chemist,
have completed a report to the State,
giving the results of the experiments
i'll tobacco culture and curing pro.
cesses carried ON in accordance with the
Act of June s, 1898. The experiments
were confined to Lancaster County,
the principal district of the State, but
were OF such general nature as to be
OF value to growers of tobacco in any
locality. A few of the more important
features of the experiments were:
First-What is the physical structure
of the soil best adapted to the tobacco
plant?
Second-What are the food require
ments of the tobacco crop9
Third-What kind of fertilizer ingre.
dients can be used most cheaply to pro-
duce the largest yield compatible with
Its high quality in structure, surface,
color and burning quality?
Fourth-What means can be applied
to prevent the destruction of the leaf
by insect and fungous enemies without
imparing its quality and without in
jury to the consumer?
Fifth-What are the effects of the
several potassic and nitrogenous fertil-
izer ingredients commonly used on to.
bacco, upon the quality of the leaf and
its yield?
Sixth-A test of the relative merits
OF the various curing processes in prac-
tice in the different tobacco raising
countries.
A study of the leading tobacco soils
Of the world, especially those upon
which fiue wrapper leaves are grown,
shows that the best crop is raised upon
spongy, well aerated soil, with fair
humus content, dry, rather than wet;
given which, the necessary mineral
foods can be readily supplied in fertil-
izers, though naturally fertile soil is
preferable.
The results of two years of careful
experimentation with various fertil-
izers seemed to indicate that an addi-
ton of phosphoric acid in the form of
dissolved boneblack led to pronounced
increase of large sized leaf; the double
carbonate of potash and magnesia pro.
duced slightly better results than sui
phate of potash. 1t is usually supposed
that yard manure, by supplying more
humus, secures more even supply of
moisture to the plant in the dry season,
but no marked advantage was manifest
from its use.
Five processes of curing tobacco were
tried; the ordinary air curing, stalk
and leaf being harvested and cured
together; the same, with leaves de.
tached from the stalk as they ripen;
the Snow Flue Curing leaves har-
vested as they ripen; a modification of
the Snow process, requiring moro time
and less degree OF heat, and the so
called Cuban process, -" in which the
green leaf is subjected to forced
sweat before the air curing begins.
Samples of the cured leaf from the
above processes were submitted to
New York experts for inspection, and
with single exception favored the
artificial heat cures in preference to
the air cure chiefly on account of the
superiority of the filler. The general
character of the rapidly cured tobacco,
the Snow process taking but seven
days for complete curing of the leaf,
was not inferior to that of the more
slowly cured leaf.-E. j Haley, Penn.

DURRANT ON THE STAND.
He Tells of His Movements on the
Day of the Murder.

Day of the Murder.
San Francisco. Oct. 9.-Theodore Dur
rant unexpectedly took the stand this
morning. When Gen. Dickerson called his
name, the defendant arose from his seat
and with an elastic step walked to the
stand. Ho answered the questions put to
him in a steady voice. He testified that
he was "a years OF age. He knew Blanche
Lamont, having been introduced to her by
her aunt, Mrs. Noble. He associated with
her every week when she visited the
church. He acted as usher at the morning
services and also assisted In the choir.
Whenever there was anything wrong with
the sun-burners he always repaired them.
He met Miss Lamont on the morning of
April at the corner Of Twenty-first and
Mission streets while on his way TO the
residence Of George r. King, to get him
to help him repair the sun burners. She
told him she was going 10 school and he
invited her to walk along the block with
him. Il said that would then accompany
her 10 school," continued the witness.
"She said she had no time, was already
late but would be pleased to have me ac-
company her"
II acceded to her request. We took a car
and transferred at Larkin street, and
again at Sutter street She got off at
Cough street to go to school, and / con-
tinued on to Webster street and went TO
Cooper College"
did you see Blanche Lamont again?"
II never did, replied Durrant firmly.
He had attended college for three and a
half years. About noon he left the college
and went north on Webster street, bought
few nuts at a fruit store on Clay street,
near Webster, and ate them. He was
away from college about an hour. On his
return he saw on a blackboard the words
'Dr. Stillman viii not lecture to-day"
He then took walk to Broadway, on
which street he met Student Carter. He
returned to the college about / o'clock
and went to the library to look up author
tiles connected with his graduating exer-
cises. He had there a talk with Student
Diggins about catarrh. and advised Dig
gins TO get an atomizer. Durrant was
still giving his evidence when the court ad-
1ourned for the noon recess.

Constantinople, Oct. 9.-The police took
extreme action yesterday in regard to the
Armenians. who took refuge in their
churches. and refused to leave. by closing
all the Armenian churches in the city
and it's suburbs. These churches are now
surrounded by police In strong force The
refugees are allowed to leave, but nobody
except the priests is permitted to enter.
In addition to this the guards refuse to
allow food or water to be passed inside,
hoping thereby to compel the refugees to
come out.
London, Oct "A Dispatch from Trebi-
zonde to a news agency says: Serious
conflicts took place here yesterday be-
tween Turks and Armenians, in which
many Of the latter were killed"
London, Oct "a dispatch to the Cen
tral News from Constantnople says that
massacres of Christians have occurred at
Rodosto in Roumelia; at Silivri, forty
miles west of Constantinople, and at Is
mid, in Asia Minor. hfty-six miles south
east of ConstantinOple The dispatch adds
that 1t Is rumored that Said Pasha. minis
ter of foreign affairs, is suffering from a
slight stroke of apopleXy.
The Standard will tomorrow publish a
Constantnople dispatch dated Oct. s, say
ing that the council OF ministers sat all
night considering the demands of the
powers in reference TO Armenia. 1t Is
now announced that the porte has accept
ed the scheme. with the notifications the
powers declared were admissible. Moth
ing certain, however, is known. The dis
patch adds that IL Is learned from Turk
ish source that the six powers, in their
recent joint note, demanded besides the
adoption of provisions for the public safe
ty the immunity of Armenians from fur
ther arrest and violence. and that a com
mittee of inquiry into the outbreak be
appointed, delegates of the powers shar-
ing In the investigation.
The dispatch further says that Russia
has assured the porte that although she
has formally Joined the powers in their
demands, she does not Intend to take ex-
treme measures.
Evidence accumulates that the action
of the Softas and Kurds last week was
directed by Turkish officials. Turkish
newspapers say the sultan ordered that
several hundred sheep and a quantity of
delicacies be given the Softas as a reward
for their loyalty.
Berlin. Oct. "a Constantinople dis
patch to the kreuz Zeitung says that the
Armenian affair is gradually becoming
the starting point of a struggle between
Great Britain and Russia for paramount
influence in the Bosphorus. IL Is not i'm
possible that Said Pasha will be recalled
to his old position of grand vizier Rus
sian diplomacy is now trying solely to
secure the removal of Grand Nizier
I<iamil Pasha, to which end Russia will
even support Turkey against Great

Wreaths Placed on the Tomb of In
Sale by the Delegates.

Breslau, Oct. 9.-The arrest and expul-
sion from Germany of DR.. Ellenborgen, an
Austrian delegate to the socialist con-
gress, yesterday, is attributed to a speech
delivered by him in laudation of social
ism, together with the fact of his enter
ing Germany without proper papers.
The report of the expulsion from the
congress of Frau ZellSin, the editress of
the Etuttgart Gleichheit, was erroneous.
She delivered a speech in the congress
upon the subject of the emancipation of
women.
The authorities forbade the delegates to
march in procession to the tomb of La
Sale to-day as they had intended to do,
and they were obliged to proceed TO the
cemetery in small groups and laid wreaths
upon the grave. The tableaux vivants,
which had been arranged for tonight were
also forbidden by the police.
