Embexxler Landed in jail.

LANSING, March Y.-Edward H. Spen-
Ger, the agent of the American Express
company at Sunfeld, who fled recently
after embezzling several hundred dollars

correspondence between the editor
and writer, during the course of which
it was suggested to the latter to ex-
tend her boundaries by submitting
specimen of her work to the School
fellow, published in Charleston, S. c.,
by w. G. Richards, the brother-in-law
Of Neal, and the proprietor of two
southern periodicals, prominent in
their day.
Introduced by his sister, Mr.. Rich
ards took kindly interest in the
young girl, even making the trip to
Virginia for the purpose of becoming
personally acquainted with her. His
visit was followed by one from Mrs.
Neal, with the sister of Mrs. Richards,
and thus a friendship was formed be-
tween the authors and editors which
was strengthened with advancing
years.
The first literary venture of Mrs.
Festetils katharine Nelly grew out
of q little banter on the part of her
elder brother, who declared if she also
would write something and have it
published he would present her with
the handsomest book to be procured
in Baltimore. New books were treas
ures in those days, and his challenge
was accepted, the result being the pro-
duction of bright little story, which
was not only printed in the School
fellow, but was made the subject of
fattering editorial comment. The
youthful writer was only 10 years old
at the time of its appearance, but the
book which rewarded her efforts,
1.-The Gem of the Season." beautifully
bound and illustrated, is still pre-
served as souvenir of her early initia-
ton into authorship.
For several years after this event
Katharine Nicely remained at school
in Washington, Pa, where she grad
uated, after which she made her home
with her sister in Brooklyn and occu-
pied herself with various literary un-
dertakings. She edited the Children's
Guest, paper published by the Church
Book society in New York; wrote
number Of books for the same society;
contributed TO Harper's Magazine and
other prominent periodicals, and still
found time to be the most helpful

Electricity in Aeronautics.

Hiram S. Maxim says that it is yet
to be demonstrated that an electric
motor can be built that is as light as a
steam engine. He has considered the
matter thoroughly, and finds that any
form of electric motor is quite out of
the question owing to its great weight
If wires were used and the machine
travelled, say, forty miles an hour, a
few seconds would suffice to draw a
large amount of cable into the air; be-
sides, a machine attached to the earth
by cable can not be considered fly
ing machine.

WASHINGTON, March 12. - Secretary
Smith has decided In favor of the COM
pany the suit brought by Angus Smith
and others against the Portage Lake and
Lake Superior Ship Canal company. The
case was brought in the form of an ap-
plication to the secretary to have the gov
eminent bring suit to set aside the certi-
fication of lands which it had made to tho
state of Michigan, and by the state pat
ented to the canal company as grant in
the aid of the construction of certain
public works.
The lands affected by the case amount
to $751; CAT acres and are mostly located in
the rich copper and iron region of the
Gogebic range in northern Michigan.
The law making the grant to the state
was passed in 1865, and by its terms gave
all lands embraced within its limits, mot
designated by the United States as min
eral lands" The contention of the
plaintiffs in the present case was that the
Intention of the government was not to
grant any mineral lands to the company.

WHEAT EXHAUSTED.
STARTLING STATEMENT IN THE
STATE CROP REPORT.

The 1894 Stock All Gone and the People
Are subsisting on the Production of Pre-
vious Years--Tigures Given Out by the
Secretary OF State.
LANSING, Mich, March lin the
Michigan crop report for March, issued
by the secretary of state, the startling
statement Is made that the wheat crop
of the state for the year 1894 is exhausted,
and that the people are now subsisting
on the production of previous years. The
figures given are as follows:
Bushels.
Wheat crop Of 1894, estimated in Octo.
1874 2l ,627, $40
Used to seed 1,l0S,O acres ......... 1862, 600
Bread for farmers for one year. ...... 6,627, 900
Sales reported to March /, 1895. ...... 8,O06,6lS
Fed to stock, 22 per cent. of the crop
as estimated by correspondents. .... 4,75S,000
Iolai ''....'s's...'........... ..~l,UQo,olo
Wheat unsold. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 5H.U3l
The report says that in the above calcu-
lation only sales actually reported are in
cluded. The sales in February and previ-
GUS months. not yet reported will wipe out
the remainder shown. The marketings
by farmers, as returned to the secretarys
office and published in his reports from
month TO month, seem TO confirm this
conclusion. They are less each month
than in the corresponding month of the
preceding year. The quantity of wheat
reported marketed from all points in the
state in the seven months from August
to February is 2,273. AL bushels less than
reported marketed in the same month last
year, but as no reports for February of
this year have yet been received from
large number Of stations, the actual de-
crease is less than this total
The amount marketed at 273 points in
the state from which reports were re-
ceived monthly from August to February
each year was 6l7337 bushels less in the
six months from Aug. /, 1894, - Feb l.,
1895, than in the six months ending with

normal in all sections of the state; snow,
however, covered the ground fairly we'll

ing good protection to wheat. In the
southern counties the snow was all gone
at the end of the month, but in the CEN
trail and northern counties the covering
was ample.

SO long have succeeded in screening
themselves from public view. For
many years their books have covered a
large space on the shelves of Sunday
school libraries, while their miscel-
laneous prose and poetical productions
have given pleasure to readers of prom
inent magazines all over the country,
and yet outside of their own immedi-
ate circle of acquaintance few have
identified them with their work.
The two sisters are of Scotch and
English ancestry, descended on the
one side from Scotch Rutherfords and
on the other from English Scar
boroughs. Their immediate progeni-
tors, John Nicely and Amelia
Bayly, were, the one of Penn
sylvania, the other of Virginian
birth, and the two girls, with their
five brothers and sisters, grew up part
ly in Washington and partly in their
country home on the eastern shore of
Virginia. In their early youth they
were orphaned, their parents dying
within year of each other, but the
family was kept together by an older
brother, under whose guardianship the
sisters remained until the marriage of
Mary, in 1853, to George Bradley of
New York city, and the sending of
Katharine to school in Pennsylvania a
short time afterwards.
A pleasant visitor to their secluded
home in those early days was Phila-
delphia weekly, formerly published by
Joseph c. Neal, the author of 'Char-
coal Sketches" but then conducted by
his young widow, who, under the nom
de plume of 'Cousin Alice" was win
ming a reputation for herself as a
writer of juvenile books. The two
children watched eagerly for its COM
ing, and it was while reading story
which appeared in its columns that
the possibility of becoming herself an
anthoress suggested itself to Mary, the
older of the two girls. The youthful
aspirant for literary honors was only
IA years old when her maiden effort
was made, but it's merit met with
prompt recognition, and it was ac-
corded place in the Gazette. Other
contributions followed, which led to a
