companys credit and manufacturing operations.
The case did not come TO a final hearing until a

to largely increased cost Of transportation. and the
bananas have deterioratsd while being lightered.
Captain Rasmussen of the Danish steamship Tyr.

The resignation Of W. Il. Coolidge was
not acted on by the board at the meeting
on Saturday last. 1t is hoped that Mr..
Coolidge will see fit to withdraw his
resignation. He presented his resigna-
ton as commissioner because the duties
of the Office interfered with his private
business, which takes up so much of his
time. Mr.. Coolidge makes first class
commissioner. and there is a general de-
sire that he continue to discharge the

John II. Churchill, some days ago, re-
ceived copy Of an agricultural journal
published at Cape Colony, a province in
the southern extremity of Africa, that
contains an article written by him, on
"Fish production and irrigation in Kan
sas," credited to the American Agri-
culturist. The article is part Of an
address delivered by Mr.. Churchill be-
fore the Kansas State Board of Agri-
culture. some months ago. The agri-
cultural Journal at Cape Colony is
published by tie Department of Agri-
culture. That portion of Africa is under
a sort of rebellion, the residents, the
Beers, resisting English domination.
The colony contains many English and
American residents, but the principal
residents, the Beers. are emigrants from
Germany.
We notice the market reports in the
African agricultural journal, and prices
of certain articles at many places in the
province 10 given. We note few.
Wheat, 100 lbs. II shillings pence.
Flour 100 lbs. Is shillings.
Oats 100 lbs. 20 shillings.
Potatoes, per bag. 25 shillings.
Beef per. Id. five pence.
Butter per Id. shilling 6 pence.
Eggs, per dozen, shilling 2 pence.
The English shilling is nearly equal to
quarter of dollar Of United States
money. 1t will be seen that things are
high, excepting beef. Cattle must
abound in the country. But, if the BOsrs
and colonists will adopt Mr.. Churchill's
plan of fish culture and Charming by
irrigation in Western Kansas they will
probably increase their agricultural pro-
auctions.

We understand that the Rev. DR..
Krum, rector of st. PauI's church of this
city, has been appointed by the Bishop
of IA neighboring diocese to very im-
portant and responsible position. The
appointment was made some weeks ago,
since which he has been considering the
question Of its acceptance.
DR.. Krum has now been Rector of
st Paul's church for over three years.
He is an able pulpit orator, a most ex-
cellent sermOnizer and faithful pastor.
To his recognized ability as theOloSian
he adds fine literary attachments. and
rare culture.
Beside being, what is usually under
stood by the term ''fine classical Scholar"
he is we'll versed in the original Ian
guages in which The Scriptures were
written.
While it will be no doubt greatly to
his advantage to accept the position which
has been rendered him. his friends will
hope to retain him as Rector Of st.
Paul's church. Hesperian,
