The Production Of peanuss,

There is the succulent peanut.
Maybe you think it doesn't play q

The yearly production of peanuts in

Was city sheriff rwenty-seven Years.

New London, March 14.--William H. Winthrop died this morning after an illness which began with a shock two years ago last October. He was a son of the last Winthrop to own Fishers Island, which had been i'm the possess sion of the family in an unbroken sue cession of years from the time of the original grant from Charles l. In his early manhood MT. Winthrop was a conductor on the New London, Willi- mantle and Palmer railroad and also on the Hudson river road, which in those days had it's passenger station on College Place and Chambers street. New York.
 For a number of years Mir Winthrop managed the agricultural operations on Fishers Island, and then dwelt in the old place at the west end, called in those times the Mansion house. Life on the island was then baronial, and there were horses, sheep, cattle, swine, poul- try and everything else of that kind in great quantity with fish abounding in the adjacent waters and manure in abundance simply for the gathering from the shore.
 It was while MT. Winthrop lived on Fishers Island that the ill-fated Att lantic was lost on Thanksgiving night, 1842, and the survivors were kindly cared for at MT. Winthrop's house. Since he had lived on the main land now many years, MT. Whitney had served a number of terms as city sheriff and for years stood at the polls at every election and called the names as voters presented themselves.
 He knew everybody and was known to everybody. His service as city sheriff extended over a period of twenty seven years. MT. Winthrop was of a very genial disposition and kindly heart and much esteemed. Mrs. Vim throp, three daughters, Mrs. B. M. Car roll, Mrs. Robert B. Smith and Mrs. Edward A. Colby, and one son, Henry c. Winthrop, survive him. He was in his seventy-sixth year.

The Speculation on the Exchange Was
 Rather Irregular.

Rather Irregular.
 New York, March 14-The uncer-
 tainty regarding the dividends on St.
 Paul and New York Central led to a
 rather irregular speculation at the
 stock exchange to-day. At the start
 Sugar was strong, promptly recovering most of it's dividend, selling up to 101k,
 which is equivalent to 1041s dividend on. The grangers were easier. St
 Paul sold down fraction on the re- iteration of the reports current for a week past that the dividend on the common would be reduced to 1 per cent. for the six months. This was subsequently, borne out, the directors having announced a reduction in the rate to 1 per tsnt on the common for the six months. The lction of the di- rectors was not made known until after the close of the stock exchange. Vice President Bond in am interview stated that the action of the directors was unanimous and the company really earned 11a per cent. on the common for the period for which the dividend is declared.
 Jersey Central. Delaware and Hud- son and Laclxawanna were notably strong. Jersey Central rose from 86% to SS7s, Lackawanna from 157% to 160 and Delaware and Hudson from 124M to 125M. New York and New England sodl up to 331s on the progress making looking toward the reorganization of the property Manhattan advanced 11s to 1091S, General Electric 1 to 29A, Consolidated Gas 11s to 139 Cotton Oil 1 to 24, Louisville and Nashville B to 4S3s and New York Central M to 95A and the other leading issues A to % per cent. Near the close American Sugar fell to 98% on realizations and teh general list ran off 1s to B per cent, Jersey Central and Northwest being most prominent in the reactionary movement,
 At the close Sugar rallied ito 99B@& and the railway group also developed more steadiness and left off firm. Net changes outside of the anthracites and New England, which rose 1@2A per cent, were fractional either way. The bituminous coalers ruled firm, Hooking Valley selling at 23@24, Wheeling and Lake Erie at 101s@5s and Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred 3S%@41A.
 In the specialties Great Northern preferred rose 3 to 103. The decision of the New York Central directors in the matter of the dividend is awaited with unusual interest by the street. The di- rectors will meet tomorrow for action. Nothing has developed to indicate the directors policy and the street opinion is divided as to whether the regular rates will be maintained or not.
 The activity i'm the railway bond market attracted considerable atten- tion. The demand was brisk, especially for the Atchison issues, which were benefited by the announcement from, London that syndicate to underwrite' the reorganization plan had been form

given him certain large and fairly defin- ite conceptions of history and politics. But his practical education! What a polishing and sharpening he had had against the revolving world moving many times faster then than in most ages He was a master in the art of civil war, for he had been not merely an interested observer, but an active participant, in it during five years in two countries. The victim of wiles more secret than his own, he had grown most willy in diplomacy; an ambitious poli- tlcian, his pulpy principles were repub- lican in their character so far as they had any tissue or firmness, His acqui- sitions in the science of war were sub- stantial and definite. Neither q mar tinet himself nor tolerant in any way of routine, ignorant in fact of many hateful details, among others of obed- fence, he yet rose far above tradition or practice in his conception of strategy. He was perceptibly superior to the world about him in almost every apti- tude, and particular so in power of combination, in originality, and in far sightedness He could neither write nor spell correctly, but he was skilled in all practical applications of mathe- matics town and country, mountains and plains, seas and rivers, were all quantities in his equations. Untrust- worthy himself, he stroVe to arouse trust, faith, and devotion in those about him; he read the hearts of others like an open book.
 Of pure-minded affection for either men or women he had so far shown only little, and had experienced in return even less; but he had studied the arts of gallantry, and understood the lever age of social forces To these capaci- ties, some embryonic, some perfectly formed, add the fact that he was now cosmopolitan, and there will be out line, relief, and colcr to his character. q am in that frame of mind" he said of himself about this time, fin which men are at the eve of battle, with per- sistent conviction that since death is imminent in the end, to be uneasy is fol- ly.

My reason is sometimes astonished at all this but it is the effect produced on me by the moral spectacle of this land Gee pays-ct not patrie), and by the habit of running risks" This is the power and temper of a man of whom an intimate and confi- dential friend predicted that he would never stop short until he had mounted either the throne or the scaffold, d,-Pro- lessor w.

Bonaparie,s Arprentice Years.

At this point Boneparte's apprentice years may be said to have ended: he was virtually the man he remained to the end. A Corsican by origin he re- tained the national sensibiIity and an enormous power of endurance both phy- sical and intellectual together with the dogged persistence found in the mediae- val Corsicans. He was devoted with primitive virtue to his family and his people, but was willing to sacrifice the latter, at least, to his ambition. His moral sense, having never been deyel- oped by education, and, worse than that having been befogged by the extreme sensibility of Rosseau, and by the chaos of the times which that prophet had brought to pass, was practically lack ing. Neither the hostility of his fath- CT to religion nor his own experiences with the Jesuits could, however, entire- ly eradicate a superstition which passed in his mind for faith. Sometimes he was scoffer, as many with weak con victtons are; but in general he had formal and outward respect for the church.
 His theoretical education had been narrow and one-sided; but his readings and his authorship, in spite of. their superficial and desultory character, had

John Ford, deaf mute of Strat- ford, asks for the recovery of his home, of which he claims his son, William J. Ford, defrauded him. In April, 1892 he intended deeding four acres of his farm to his son as a present, but the latter dictated the instrument to a real estate agent Recently the father learned that the deed transferred the entire place to his son. He thereupon appealed to the superior court. The son claims that the transfer was honest He is said to have been jealous of his sister, who was the favorite.
