CAPTAIN HEALY ON TRIAL.
Court of Inquiry in the Case to
Sit Daily With Closed
Doors.
The Accused Elected to Have the
Investigation Conducted
Secretly.

The court of inquiry appointed by the
Secretary of the Treasury to investigate
the charges against Captain Healy OF the
revenue cutter service organized at the
United States Appraisers building in this
City yesterday.
The court is composed of Captain D. B.
Hodgdon, Captain L. NJ. Stodder and
CAPTAIN W. G. Coulson. First Lieutenant
Rodgers is recorder Of the court and First
Lieutenant Reynolds prosecutor.
In accordance with the regulations gov
erning this branch of the United States
service the officers comprising the court
wore the prescribed uniform during the
session of the court.
The court will sit during the investiga-
ton with closed doors. and if any of the
proceedings of the inquiry are dVulged
for publication the publicity will be given
without the official knowledge or consent
of the court.
All courts of this character are not con-
Quoted in this sta1-chamber fashion, but
the rule has been adopted in the revenue
cutter service to allow the accused to elect
whether the court shall sit with open or
closed doors. In this investigation Cap
tain Healy, through his counsel, Barclay
Henley, Signlfied a desire for an inquiry
with closed doors.
The president OF the court, Captain
Hodgdon, was seen at the Palace Hotel
last evening. He said that under instruc-
tions proceedings of the investigation
could not be made public at present. A
report would be made to the Secretary of
the Treasury, and the Secretary in his
discretion could give it to the press.
Captain Healy did not care to discuss
the matter as he is on trial.
Apart from the organization of the court
little was done yesterday. The inquiry
may last for three days or may continue
for three months. 1t is thought, however,
that great many witnesses Will be called
and that the inquiry will take wide
range. The court will convene daily at 10
A. NJ and, barring recess, sit until P. NJ.
1t may be explained that the Navy De-
partment has nothing whatever to do with
the investigation. The detail for the court
was made by the Treasury Department
and all the facvs and findings will be trans
mitted to Secretary Carlisle. 1t is pre-
sumed that the officers Of the revenue cut
ter service sent out here to ascertain the
whole truth concerning the wrangles and
Jars OF the Bears cruising expeditions to
the Arctic are unbiased and impartial men.
Their duties at Washington are not so i'm
portant and pressing as to demand hasty
survey OF the allegations against Captain
Healy, hence it is safe to predict that time
will not be pinched in the Investigation.

UNIQUE REFORM CLUBS,
The Rev. Dr.. Wherry on the
Efforts of the Liierati in
China.
Clubs Have Already Been Started by
Them in Peking, Shanghai
and Canton.

The Rev. DR.. J. Wherry, the senior rep
resentative of the Presbyterian Church in
Pekiug, VINO has been thirty-one years
there engaged in mission work, is in the
City.
He says that many of the literati among
tire Chinese of the highest literary
standing-in Peking, Shanghai and Can
ton have lately formed themselves into
reform organizations.
Their objects are in the interests of
better government, general advancement
and in some cases the overturning of the
Government.
1.-THE movement in favor OF reform in
Peking," said DR.. Wherry. "has resulted
in the formation of club of sixty men,
hers. They are going TO erect building,
which will be sort of polytechnic school.
''In general, this object is to introduce
modern civilization, extend the railroad
open up the various gold, silver and coal
mines, and inaugurate new school sys-
tenn, substituting for Confucian works the
works of modern science.
''They also advocate reform in the Gov
ernment; that is, honest officers and hon
est salaries.
'Since the Reform Club was started in
Peking, one is being started at Shanghai
and another at Canton. At Canton they
proposed to attain part of this work by
revolution. The project was secret, but
the Government heard of it, and is now
keeping a close watch On them'
DR.. Wherry is on his way to New York
to visit friends and enjoy the advantage of
a change of climate.
He has only been home three times in
thirty years, and it is eight years since he
was last home.

You don't call that prosperity, do vou?''
Mr. Mares, who had been an attentive

81 have not been here long enough" he
began, ito speak very authoritatively on
the matter at issue; but must say am
convinced that things are daily looking
brighter. In any event here in California
we have advantages far above anything
dreamed OF in many prosperous countries,
and in the long run California is bound to
be rich, happy country. But, coming
down to the present question the strained
conditions which Mr.. Harris has noticed
arc rapidly passing away.
''Of course the idiots who give up in
weak despair and throw away their earn
lngs on gin and gewgaws may not be able
to come up to the scratch; but the sensible
farmer is about to see his land. his labor
and his products take a long stride in ad-
vance,"
well, no doubt you're right" answered
Mr.. Harris. After all, the real estate
business, and, indeed, almost every other
business, depends in a great measure upon
the earning capacity of the land. If agri-
cultural products find market, the farmer
becomes, not the serf Of capital, but its
right hand. Capital gladly advances to
the aid OF all enterprises for the develop
ment of land resources, and the whole
country is benefited. If such state of
things is going to come, am sure that
rich and poor will welcome it with open
arms"
And here the impromptu convention
dissolved, its members sallying forth to
meet the golden chances which they seem
to think the immediate future has in store.

The Love of Work.

Man is said to be lazy animal. Some
OF these lazy philosophers have con-
cluded that no man works when he is not
necessitsted to do so.
If this were the rule we would have
very many poor farmers; for we believe
that no man can succeed as a farmer
unless he is in love with the work he has
to do. He may love it for it's results or
profits, but he is not fitted to be success
full unless he loves the work for it's own
sake.
No man can be successful dairyman
who does not love his COWS; nor can
man be successful breeder of horses
or cattle unless he becomes so attached
to them as individuals or in the mass
that he takes delight in feeding and car
ing for Them, and has real pleasure in
seeing them enjoying themselves.
Never undertake to do anything about
cattle, horses, sheep, or even hogs un-
less you have some concern for their
welfare and comfort, apart from the profit
you expect to realize.
II you do not in some sense love your
work you will never succeed in any
thing you undertake. Such indiffer-
ence and laziness must always result in
fRilure.-FGrm NeaDs.

use his own property as not to unneces-
sarily and negligently iniure his neigh
Dor. Therefore every proprietor may,
according to the Supreme court Of
Nebraska (City of Kearney vs.. Theman-
sen, &C N. W. Rep. 096), lawfully i'm
prove his property by doing what is
reasonably necessary for that purpose,
and, unless guilty Of some act of negli-
gence in the manner of its execution,
will not be answerable to an adjoining
proprietor, although be may thereby
cause the surface water to flow on the
premises OF tho latter, to his damage;
but if, in the execution of such enter
prise, he is guilty Of negligence, which
is the natural and immediate cause of
injury to his neghbor, he is accountable
therefor. One may not, the same court
holds, in the equally recent case of John
son vs. Van Booming, accumulate surface
waters on his own land, and, by means
of ditch, discharge them in volume
upon the land of another. Against a
continuing injury to land caused by an
unlawful discharge Of surface waters by
an adjoining proprietor, court of equity
will grant an injunction. Farm, Field

Intelligent Effort.

A farmers success surely depends
upon effort, but in reckoning the value
OF his effort the quality is of greater
Importance than the other amount. A
little intelligent effort goes much
farther than great deal of misdirected
effort. There are here and there rugged
sons of toll who, having wrested wealth
from the forest and field by the might
OF their brawny arms, are inclined to
bellttle other methods than those which
they employed, and to pooh-pooh at
what they call. "new-fsngled notions"
but times and conditions change, and
we must change with them. The law
yer, the doctor, the preacher, the
mechanic In every line, if he would
achieve the greatest success, studies
constantly and never fails to adopt every
good new thing he finds. Would the
farmer belittle his vocation by saying it
is 80 purely the work of drudgery that
there can be no improvement Certainly
not; in hardly any other occupation of
man is there such broad field for the
application OF scientific knowledge, such
great opportunities for constant and i'm
portant improvements, and it is upon
his ability to make these improvements
his own, that the farmers success
depends. Farm Ne,OS,

A Few Words With Farmers.

Have all the farm help to quit work in
the fields on Saturdays at p. M, ex-
cept in the very busy season, and clean
and tidy up the door-yRrd, the stables,
shop, ETC., and quit early. If you never
have tried this do it now; our word for
it you will like it.
The most important crop Of the farm
is a sound boy. Take good care of him,
teach him to be honest, virtuous, indus
triouS, economical and patriotic. Exam
pie is better than precept.
Don't let the phsntoms of the past
blast the budding hopes for future. A
brilliant achievement is prefaced often
by mountains of obstacles and the worst
discouragements.
The farmers future place in this re-
public will be fixed by himself. If he
let other people do his thinking for him
he will become a clod as in Europe,
This is a solemn truth.
Silver is the dollar of the daddies and
gold is the dollar of the "uncles." Both
will yet become the dollars of the sons
and daughters.
Hard hand work and no head work
have never piled up money. Hitch the
two to one evener,
The borrower is servant to the lender.

them with small farmers whose labor
will add to our output.
"Our lands produce cotton, and fax,
and other fibrous plants, useful in the
manufacture Of cloth and cordsge.
There is no better region for the growth
of sheep and wool. We have timber,
iron, coal, lead, zinc, copper, tin, silver
and gold. Southern iron and cotton
cloth are produced as chesply as any
where; and lumber can be made with
out the aid of duties on the foreign
product. Surely If our trade is not
wanted Fest we can manage In few
years to accommodate ourselves to that
state of fact. We have votes enough
to change the financial policy Of the
government and get rid of the usurer
and extOrtioner, when money will be
abundant and ready on call to move
the crops and meet our pecuniary obH-
cations.
"We shall always be able to take
care of ourselves, and now that we
have notice served upon us that the
interests of the money centers of the
East are more important than the COM
merce of the West and South, we need
not further trouble ourselves about
protective tariffs nor tariffs for rev.
enue. If rich men have determined that
this government was established for
their benefit, let them bear the burdens
Of national taxation. Let tariff duties
be levied only ON luxuries, let the rest
of the needed revenues for government
uses be raised by taxes on large landed
estates and on incomes above the line
of fair living.
eyes, Mr.. President, God rsigns and
the republic will live to encourage and
to bless mankind. The law of progress
will impel us forward and we shall rise
as we 60. But we must contend with
all the powers of evil. Evolution

The Law Relating to Use Of Surface Water.
Surface water is regarded by the COM
mon law as a common enemy, which a
landowner may defend his premises
against by dyke or embankment; and, if
damages result to an adjoining proprie-
tor by reason Of such defense, he is not
liable therefor. Yet this is qualified by
another rule, that proprietor must so
