''What would you suggest the farmers do in
place of raising wheat%'
"Let them raise miscellaneous produce.
There is demand for it now, and as the popu-
lation grows it will increase. Then again we
want the Nicaragua Canal and when it is COM

see better times. Another stiff war and no
drouth in California would also do us good"
The Rev H, w. Barrett of Chicago, who was
at the Occidental yesterday, gave an interesting
account of the latest move OF temperance work
ers in that city against the saloons. "The plan
of operations" he said, 'involves nothing less,
practically, than the opening of home saloons,
conducted by temperance workers, but in
which intoxicating drinks will not be sold.
The most original feature of the whole matter
is tha beer will be sold-not the plebeian stuff
which intoxicates but special brew which
contains no alcohol but still retains the flavor
of the hops and malt. 1t is believed that the
beverage will satisfy the thirst of the average

that characterizes beer, it foams exactly
the same, and in quantity the new
saloon glasses will contain more beer than
is obtained in the ordinary schooner Besides
the beer, unfermented wines will be sold, and
ginger ale, coffee, tea and milk. A hot lunch,
with drinks for 10 cents, will be one of the
features, and after awhile it is proposed to
place piano in each of these saloons, together
with writing desks and material and news
papers 1t has been determined to call these
places 'salons,' the pronunciation being almost
the same, and the adoption of this name per-
mitting US to incorporate, so as to prevent
saloonkeepers from using it. Our patriotism
will be attested by red, white and blue signs
over the door and in the windows, and twill
be the purpose of these resorts to give men a
place where they can gather and have good
time in innocent amusement"
az see the women of San Francisco are swarm

Bowling Green, KY, at the Palace yesterday.
"On general principles | never had much faith
in woman's rights, but occasionally an instance
comes under my observation where / am in
clined to think the woman deserves the right
of franchise. Down in Spencer County, in my
State, lives widow named Mrs A. J. Cut
lady has a son IA years old. and the two plant,
cultivate and harvest a tobacco crop every
year. The cultivation of tobacco, / might
state is one of the most difficult of agricultural
pursuits but Mrs. Cutsinger understands the
matter thoroughly and follows the business
with profit. Her labors in the field have in no
way impaired her womanly graces, and her
fame as hostess is recognized all through the
section in which she resides"
H. F. Smith, an official OF Kansas City street
car line, who was at the Baldwin yesterday,
says that the use of gravel in the tracks in
Eastern cities during heavy snowstorms has
almost entirely ceased. "Salt, and lots OF it, is
the substitute said he. During the last
heavy snow in Kansas City we used tons of it.
| Every branch of our system is provided with a
saltcar, and when snow begins to fall these ears
are kept running and salt is sprinkled along
the rails from one end of the line to the other
! 1t causes the snow to melt rapidly and also
| gives the carwheels certain adhesion to the
| track.
