His StubbOrnness in Pushing His
Bills to Passage.
Gen. Hatch, who died Wednesday night
at his home in Missouri, Is said to have
succeeded in passing every great measure
which he undertook, except the pure-food
bill and the anti-option bill. These meas
ures which were distinctly related to agri-
culture he put through. No man in Con-
gress was ever so stubborn in demanding
his days for action on the bills which he
had in charge. He would get out of no
ones way. Besides the laws mentioned in
The Star yesterday as due to Gen. Hatch's
persistent championship of the farmers
cause it should be stated that he also took
an active interest in the efforts for the sup
preston and prevention of pleuro-pneumo-
mia, eliminating May %, 1884, in the Or
ganization and establishment of the bureau
of animal industry in the Department of
Agriculture. He was also the originator of
the oleomargarine bill, which became
law in August, 1886. The investigat ton of
food adulterations, which has been carried
on by the department for several years,
through his efforts special appropriations
were several times made for continuing
the work. He advocated with great per-
sstency and ability the passage of the
pure-food bill, as well as the anti-option
bill, which. however, never became laws.
Mr.. Hatch was thoroughly familiar with
the details of the work of the Department
of Agriculture and was unceasing in his
efforts for it's enlargement and advance
ment.
1t was his capacity for organization that
brought into one distinct proposition the
subject of agricultural experiment stations.
When the success of agricultural expert
ment stations, established in several states
under state authority, had attracted the
attention of the friends of agriculture
throughout the country various PROPOSE
t1ons for the establishment of similar sta
tions with the aid of national funds were
brought forward In Congress. At the ses-
sion of 1SS5-S6 Mr.. Hatch, who had become
greatly interested In this enterprise, intro
duced a bill providing that $4,000 year
should be given to each state and territory
pertinent stations in connection with the
land-grant colleges. This bill was heartily
approved by the friends of the experiment
stations, and, under the wise and energetic
leadership of Mr.. Hatch, was passed by
Congress and approved by President Cleve-
land, March 2, 1887. Under this act, which
is widely known as the Hatch act, stations
have been established in every state and
territory and are carrying on great varie-
ty of practical and scientific work in the in
terests of agriculture. Many states have sup
plemented the funds given from the nation
al treasury, SO that in the aggregate a mill
lion dollars are now annually spent for ag-
ricultural investigation in this country.
Through their numerous reports and bull
letins these stations have already done
methods of agriculture, and some of the
results of their Investigations, notably in
dairying, have been Of very great practical
value.

dent of the New York Mail and Express,
who was captured In Pinar del Rio during

Intends to Make a Desert of Pinar
del Rio.
TO SrARVE OUT THE INSURGENTS
Non-Combatants to Be Shot on
Sight.
CUBANS ARE INFURIATED

CINCINNATI, December 25.-A special to
the Commercial Tribune from Key West,
Fla, says:
Passengers say that all Havana is wait
ing for reports from Weyler and comment
ing upon his actions so far. He is reported
to have stated that he intended to make
a desert of the Pinar del Rio section, to
starve out Gen. Rivera. According to ru-
mors he has begun strongly on this plan.
His guerrilla bands have orders to shoot all
pacificos at sight, to carry off or destroy
all cattle or provisions of any kind, and to
lay waste the entire country, burning cane
fields, houses, barns, etc. This they are
beginning to do. Fifteen pacificos have al
ready been killed between Artemisa and the
foot hills, among them two women.
The Cubans are infuriated at this savage
ness, and have begun to show a spirit Of
retaliation by hanging, with short trial,
all guerrillas captured. Weyler's arrival
was opportune it is stated, as his COM
manders in that section have been greatly
worried over the various successes of the
Cuban bands. Several attacks have been
made on the trocha in fact, that is now
a daily occurrence, the Cubans seeming de-
Sirous of keeping their foes In state or
siege. 1t is stated that an entire pacnico
family of five persons was destroyed FIJI
day last by Capt. Melguize's band, when
they tried to prevent the removal OF their
cattle. Meguize, irritated at their resist
ance, shot three down in cold blood. and
then binding the two elder sons to mis-
horses tails, dragged them around until
life was extinct. They were then cut loose,
thrown into the house, to which the fire
brand was applied
Cubans swear to burn him alive If they
ever capture him. Several engagements are
reported from the Santa Clara province
with the vanguards Of Gomez army, the
Spaniards being defeated in nearly every
case, though the published records claim
victory.

NEW YORK, December 25.-Dr. VIM.
Shaw Bowen, staff correspondent of the
New York World, who had permission to
pass the Spanish lines and travel through
Pinar del Rio province, has cabled report
Of his observations to the World. He found
few signs of civil war except about the gar
risons. Tobacco was being cultivated in
many places, except that the planting was
later than common, and the inhabitants
seemed to be following their ordinary avo-
cations.
The Worlds correspondent sums up his
observations and information by saying
that Gen. Rivera, who succeeded Gen.
Maceo, has not yet been able to concentrate
the insurgent forces in that province, and
that unless he does SO, all Of Cuba west of
Havana will soon virtually be in the control
of the Spanish army.

yard to test the horn he had found sticking
from the top of his stocking. So it was
that early churchgoing was attended by a
chorus of horns pitched in hundred keys,
and at the hour when the town usually
Slumbers 1t was alive with sound.
The Roman Catholic, the Protestant
Episcopal, the Lutheran churches all held
special services today. AS a rule the Christ

more care been expended in making this
feature of the services more attractive

IL o'clock services were more than usually
crowded, the people who attended them be-
ing of all creeGs, or no creeds, but they
all Joined equally in an enjoyment of the

KIDNEY DISEASE.
Statement OF a PaHtucket Eete-
ran A Well-knOwn Man
Whose Words Garry Weight.

From the Times, Pawtucket, r. l.
81 was born about 80 years ago,
said George S. Pierce, than whom there
is no better known nor more highly
respected citizen in Pawtucket, r. l.,
and who resides with his brother,
Henry A Pierce, Esq, ex-Assistant
Paymaster of the United States Senate,
and have never dwelt elsewhere, eX-
cept temporarily, and that was during
the civil war, when / served IN the
First Rhode Island Cavalry and in the
Eleventh Rhode Island Regiment.
Some little time after the war | had
the operation of lithotOmy performed
upon me at the Rhode Island HoSpl-
tai and the operation was most sue
cessful. About nine or ten years ago
I began to suffer somewhat from uri-
nary troubles. | consulted physician
after physician and resorted to kidney
remedies and various patent medi-
cines, each and all promising, as usual,
a safe, sure and speedy cure. 1t was
all. however, of little avail and my
sufferings seemed to increase with the
intermittent attacks. Repeatedly did
I have to rest from active labor in my
business as a beltmaker and after re-
tanning water for two and even three
days at a time, the only relief seemed
to finally come through the reaction
airy force of nature.
About nine or ten months ago, while
suffering one of those painful attacks,
was advised by fellow workman TO
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
people. He recited his own symptoms
so identical to mine, and of which ne
had been cured and /, with some mis-
givings I confess, procured box OF
Pink Pills To be candid, [ had not
finished the first box before | was
greatly relieved and such a pleasing
reality can best be appreciated by a
patient sufferer. With the second ano
third boxes 1 continued to improve
until | was something like my former
self. Of course, l keep box OF PINE
Pills always at hand as a safeguard
but have to take only few, say once
a fortnight or three weeks, and then
chiefly for the appetite. While leaving
the public TO judge as to whether won
| ders have been worked in my case
I must state that Pink Pills have
| done me the most good of an!
medicinal preparation that [ hav
been able to obtain. Local drug
eists have sent to my door the agents
of various patent remedies, of which
| I have used bottles upon bottles ant
boxes upon boxes, but I could no
honestly or honorably say a word II
their behalf. This testimonial, how
ever. | give cheerfully and volunta
riIly.'' DR.. Williams Pink Pills ar
| sold by Hollister Drug. Co., Hobro
Drug Co., wholesale agents for Hawai-
ian Islands, and all dealers in medl
cine.
