MORE INDUSTRIES.

ApropoS OF the crying necessity,
In this country for more diversi-
fed agricultural industry, many
valuable and interesting lessons
may be drawn from an article ON
the new farmer of the Southern
States by Prof. Dabney of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The writer points out
that the depression In the cotton
and tobacco markets has Indirectly
proved beneficial to the farmer of
the South, since it has forced him
to cease giving all his attention 30
one product. Prof. Dabney states
that many a Southern farmer
through bitter experience has dis
covered that cotton and tobacco
are not the only paying crops, "and
many of the more intelligent who
turned their attention to truck
crops or fruits have established a
business which pays them far bet
ter than cotton did even in the days
of high prices"
As the result of this awakening,
the past five years have witnessed
a remarkable change in the agri-
culture of the South. Farm crops
have become diversified. Where
corn was once purchased from the
Northwest, it is now produced at
home. With various other foods
stuffs and fruits the same change
has been noticed. Cattle are
raised In sufficient quantities to
supply the home market and stats
tics show an increase of over two
million head of hogs in the cotton
states from 1890 to 1896.
Hawaii today is in much the
same position as the cotton states
of the South in their palmiest days.
About all It's hope for the present
and the future is locked up In the
sugar barrel. Sugar has been the
money product and to sugar the
industry of the country has bowed
a willing knee, because there was
profit In it. The nation and the
people have Jared well, so well in
fact that the possibility of rainy
day. seems to have escaped the
minds of the community. The
minds of the community. The peo-
pie have followed in the same path
that has led many another nation
through fields of valuable, though
most disagreeable experience. So
many examples have been furnish
ed us In recent years, 1T seems rea-
sonable that our citizens should
profit from those lessons and fore
stall the always possible evil day
when depression may surround the
staple product. Hawaii needs
more houses of refuge on its indus
trial battle ground.
An evidence of this was brought
out by the Hilo Tribune in its last
issue. Reference was made to
large shipment of hogs that sold
In Hilo at eight cents pound.
The fields about Hilo can produce
nearly three crops of corn year,
enough to feed all the hogs re-
quired for the Hawaiian market
and then have plenty to spare.
This is only one instance among
many where Hawaii is paying out
its money needlessly for necessi-
ties that can be produced home.
In the days of prosperity the big,
rapid money making schemes are
binding the eyes of the people to
the small affairs.

Tropical Fruits
A recent visitor to these
shores remarked the other
day, "HoW is 1t, that with
the abundant supply of Tro-
pical Fruits one sees grow
ing in the grounds of private
residences here, it is difficult
to obtain choice fruit from
the stores. :"
The answer is simple.
because the fruit is
roughly plucked from the
trees, with the natural CON
sequence that it is bruised
and spoiled" The evil can
easily be renedied by the
investment of 50 cents in a
Wire Fruit Picker. This
useful article will pick all
kinds of fruit, from the ALI
gator Pear to the Rose Apple,
1t can be attached to the end
of a pole and manipulated as
successfully as in the hand.
While on the subject of
fruits and trees, let us add a
word or two on the inhabi-
tants thereof. Some birds
are pests, others are not.
What can be nicer about a
home than a couple Of canar-
les, especially if you have a
pretty cage for them.
By the Australia we i'm
ported a variety of Bird
Cages in painted wire at
$50 to S2.5o; and in brass
$50 to $40; in the most
unique designs imaginable.

satisfied no House on the

ONE OF THEIR RACE In VIEW
A Movement Is Being Made for the
Selection of Representative Col

Race Grounds.

The colored Republicans are quietly at
work gathering influence in support of a
demand upon President Mckinley for the
appointment of a representative of their
race as the successor OF District Commis-
! sioner Truesdeil. The movement is based
ON racial considerations more than on poll
tics, and its supporters will not be con-
fined TO the District people nor TO party.
A leading colored Republican said today
thai the matter will be matured by March
4, and that Immediately after the inaugu-
ration the request will be placed in the
Presidents hands IL is the intention. he
said, TO agree upon one man, and press that

pyrotechnics We consider that the col
ored people are numerous enough in the
District to entitle them to that recogni-
ton"
He was asked il the selection OF a man
had been yet made, and replied:
Not yet; but he will be named within
the next two or three days"
He declined TO state who are in the list
OF possible candidates for the place, but
said the choice would fall upon an actual
District resident-a man who is RESPONSE
ble, and of respectable ability and char
acter

AN EFFIGY IN HER BED.
How Alice Trumble Deceived Her
Mother and EIoped.

Cochcton, N. Y, Feb. 1o.-A skillfully
constructed effigy of Miss Alice Trumble,
| of Russell Centre, snugly slowed away
in the young woman's bed last night, rem
dered an elopment successful. Although
possessed of considerable money and a
good reputation, Albert Shows efforts
TO gain the consent of Mrs. Mary Trumble
TO marry her only daughter, Alice, were
unsuccessful. The widow had positively
declared that the marriage of the young
folks should not take place during her
lifetime.
The fact that several unsuccessful at
tempts had been made by the sweethearts
to deceive the willy widow only served 20
emphasize their woes. Finally it was
agreed hetween the young couple that one
more effort to get married should be made,
and last night was selected as the time.
Closely following the Instructions of her
sweetheart, Miss Trumble prepared the
effigy, which she placed in her bed. Then
she escaped from window by means of
ladder, which her waiting companion had
provided, and the two were soon speeding
away to the home of minister.
Before the couple had left the yard, Mrs.
Trumble, with her accustomed caution,
pushed aiar the door OF her daughters
room. She saw the figure in bed, and, be-
lieying her daughter to he peacefully slum-
bering, contentcdly retired to her own
apartment. Mr.. and Mrs. Snow drove to
the home of the bridegroom's parents i'm
mediately after their marriage. They re-
ceived word from Mrs. Trumhle, acknowl-
edging her defeat and inviting them home.

A QUARREL AND MYSTERIES
Carrie Jones Thought She Would
Frighten Her Lover.
SAID SHE HAD TAKEN POISON
The Young People Had a Row Be-
cause of Another woman-She
Was Soon Sorry for 1t All-Un-
der a Physicians Treatment She
Rapidly Recovered.

Miss Carrie Jones, a comely young wait
ress in an F-street restaurant. caused a
mild sensation In her clearinghouse, No.
81 fS Tenth street northwest. last night, by
drinking a quantity of bromide with the
alleged belief that it was poison A hur-
ried call was sent for the Emergency Hos
pital ambulance, while another messenger
summoned DIR. Wade Atkinson, No. 7O7
Twelfth street. Ambulance and ph ysician
arrived simultaneously, but the former
did not 20 into service. 1t was soon dis
covered that the alleged drug the young
woman had taken was harmless, and she
recovered after a BRIEF spell OF hysteria
The young woman's actions all grew out
OF trouble she had had with her lover it
was said. She discovered that he had an
other sweetheart. and thinking she might
frighten him, she took the contents Of the
bottle she supposed contained poison.
In her capacity as waitress Miss Jones
formed the acquaintance OF young man,
who came TO the place for his meals, but
whose name could not be learned. Last
night he called to see the girl and they
had lovers quarrel OF the old-fashioned
sort, where neither really meant what was
said.
The trouble arose from the fact that the
young man has another charmer, to whom
he is paying attention, and allowing his
affections TO oscillate between the two
Miss Jones became aware OF her lovers
actions yesterday, and last night accused
him OF having another sweetheart, and
thereupon the dispute enSUed She had
learned that her rival, already eognizant
OF the fact OF the unknown young mans
attentions to Miss Jones, had threatened
to pull the latter's hair the first time
she set eyes upon her
One OF the young ladies, day or two
ago, reported to the police that the other
had made Serious threats about her, all
on the young mans account, but as no war
rant was procured nothing was done in the
matter. Things came TO climax when
the much-CoUrted gentleman left the house,
after spending the evening IN Miss Jones'
company. This was hortly after 10
o. clock. About an hour later, when a
Company OF young people, who live in the
house, and had been TO the theater, were |
passing the room occupied by Miss Jones, |
they heard the young woman groaning and |
on Iii a manner that indicated she |
was in deep distress
When admittance was gained 10 the room |
tile young lady was found lying upon the |
bed She told her inquirers that she had
aiken n dose of laudanum and wanted to
die. A call was sent to Emergency Hospital
for the ambulance.
Dr Atkinson arrived at the same time
and the ambulance was sent back The
physician found the young lady suffering |
from hysteria and fright, fIom which she
shortly recovered

DESCRIBED BY SYMPTOMS.

Hosts OF people suffer from the various
malignant poisons in their blood, which
produce or result from catarrh. Many
other persons suffer from nervous diseases,
liver diseases, kidney diseases and skin
diseases, as the result OF irritating crystal
Io!sons in the blood. A majority OF such
sufferers do not have a definite under
standing or the nature of their affliction.
The following symptoms have been ar
ranged by DR.. Mccoy TO enable sufferers
to understand just what it is that ails
them. Although written and copyrighted
by him, they have been extensively COpied
by other concerns without his authority.
The proper course of those affected is this:
Read these symptoms carefully over; mark
those that apply 10 your case, and bring
this with you to Doctors Mccoy and
Cowden.
