The Confession is False.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE al
legged confession of Convict John
Rosenberg, of San Quentin prison, that
he murdered blanche Lamont, is utter
" discredited here, no one placing the
least credence in it. The police pro-
nounce it baseless fabrication. The
ship Hospidar, on which Rosenberg
SAYS he came hither from Hamburg,
arrived, according to the records OF
the harbor commissioners, in Novem-
ber, 1895, but the police say she ar
rived in June, 1895. In either case,
ner arrival was subsequent to the muir
der of Blanche Lamont, for which Dur
rant is to be hanged. She was mur-
dered in April, 1895, SO Rosenberg
could not possibly be her murderer.

Sweet potatoes may be kept in a cellar
that is frost proof, by being laid down

Put a good coat of manure on the

this is done it will be in condition to

CHEAP GRAVEL ROADS.


How They Are Successfully Main
tanned in scott County, Ia.
In some sections of the country, nota
bly, in the western states, are counties
in which the character of the soil and
absence of suitable road materials
make road improvement very diff
cult problem Besides much level coun-
try there are frequent hills, many small
creeks and rivulets that only run after
hard rains or in wet season. Numer-
Gus bridges need to be maintained, and
the soil becomes mud under slight
provocation. Such conditions obtain
in Scott county, Ia, where an attempt
has been made to build roads at mod
crate cost that will stand traffic and the
strain of breaking up of winter.
The methods employed by the super
visors have been to first grade, fill and
gutter the road selected, and in particu-
larly wet places lay drain tiles with
good fall and free outlet. Then such
stones as can be had are laid as flat as
possible to a depth of about six inches,
The spaces are filled up with small
broken stone, and a smooth surface is
secured of the contour desired. On this
is laid four inches of gravel, and a
three-ton roller gives it a surface, regu-
lar travel doing the rest. Itpacks well,
becomes smooth and hard and improves
with use. The small broken stone used
is a limestone that is found in the coun-
ty, which is not hard enough for surface
use, and the gravel is obtained in an
adjoining county. With 16-foot road
way as Il rule, and a 12-foot on the
sleeper grades, the first cost was about
$1,000 per mile.
In the numerous bridges required for
small streams, old mill boilers, about
four feet in diameter and over 90 feet
long, have been used in some II cases.
Their walls are of five-eighth inch steel,
and capable of carrying any amount of
filling and traffic over them. The ex-
pense has been comparatively small.
The few repairs that are required on
these gravel roads are made by the in
mates of the county poorhouse, on
whom the moral effect is excellent

Enwls md the Grnin hin.

Many farmers are in the habit of al
lowing their fowls the free run of the
farm and this includes free access to
the grain bins. Under such conditions
it is impossible to keep the birds from
eating too much grain, and the result
will be seen later in the season when
the fowls begin to die of indigestion. In
such cases, where the farmer cannot
prevent his focks from filling up on
grain during the day, it would be better
10 keep them shut up at night and not
allow them to go out in the morning
till they have had hearty breakfast
of scalded soft food. This may tend to
prevent them eating such large quaint
ties of grain.-Farmers' Review.

SAVING GOOD ROADS.
The Importance of Wide Tires Point
ed Out Clearly.


The Importance of Wide Tires Point
ed Out Clearly.
Probably every discerning rider has
seen with Indignation the rapidly with
which good maeadam roads are cut into
ruts by the narrow-wheeled vehicles
which pass over them. From the fancy
buggy with its inch tires to the heavy
farm wagon or truck with tires two or,
possibly, 2K inches wide, every vehicle
cuts and unnecessarily wears the road.
Dirt roads are rendered impassable;
stone roads arc made rough by such sys-
tematic destruction.
Under the influence of the L, A, W.,
multitudes have been educated TO want
good roads," and many miles have been
built. Does 1--WE want good roads mean
that we want them for few weeks or
months; that we want them built to be
as quickly as possible destroyed?
In our campaigns for good roads we
have been wonderfully successful, not
only in getting many, but in showing
their economic value. Yet how much
more we might have done If 1--WE want
good roads" had been clearly under
stood to include caring for them in
telligently as we'll as building them, we
would not now have so many stony
wrecks to ride over. Having done as
much as we have, does not the obliga-
ton rest upon us to take the next log
ical step? Having created, must we not
care for our creation?
Can we not, then, every time we have
opportunity, preach good care of roads?
And, to be very definite, can we not sys-
tematically and constantly preach wide
tires? Pictures of rutted roads can be
shown with the legend: result of mar
row tires" Local consuls, when they
put up signs or advertisements, can add
to 1--WE want good roads" some such
phrase as land wide tires to keep them
good" Education in these and kindred
ways will rapidly bear fruit, and only
little thoughtfulness is necessary to
make every citizen an advocate of wider
tires.
1t would seem that only improvement
would follow such change. Wide
tires are said to draw as easily as mar
row, and, in many cases, more easily.
They roll the road instead of cutting it.
Now we have a ton or more drawn on
wheels which track, and have tires, say,
two inches wide, thus making two
sharp cutting surfaces. Were tires for
such loads gagged at, say, three inches,
and tracking forbidden, there would be
two rolling surfaces of six inches each
This would make road, not destroy it,
On our dirt roads such rolling would
soon produce astonishing results, SC
that neighborhoods which really can
not afford the expenses of stone roads
because of insufficient traffic, would
soon have greatly improved roads
which would be in excellent condition
the greater part of the year.
Let us not only want good roads, but
strive to keep them after we get them.--

Especial Correspondence

The expansion of the market for
goods of American production and
manufacture is considered by the is
landers one of the natural sequences
of the annexation of the Hawaiian is
lands. This was set before the Manu-
facturers' club of st. Louis by Lorrin
A. Thurston, eX-minister from Hawaii,
In the following language:
IL submit 10 you that no one in this
country has more direct interest in an
neXaton than the manufacturers. Up
to five years ago the United States de-
Vcloped and progressed while paying
very little attention to its foreign re-
Iatiohs and its foreign commerce. II
prosperity and development are to con-
tinue, you must find markets beyond
the present boundaries of the union for
both your agricultural and your man
uractured products. Where are you to
lind these markets? In England and
Europe? Perhaps, to limited extent;
but they produce the same manufac-
lures that you do. They are your nat
anal competitors, not your natural Gus
1cmers. The one great undeveloped
natural market of the world for the
products of the United States is the
islands in and the countries bordering
upon the Pacific ocean.
Nearly SO years ago William II.
Seward said, on the floor of the United
States senate, that the Pacific ocean,
its islands, its shores and the vast re-
gions beyond will be the chief theater
OF events in the worlds great hereafter.
This prophecy is being rapidly fulfilled;
nut ten years ago the Pacific coast of
Siberia was an ice-bound wilderness,
and VIadivostock an unknown village.
To-day Vladivostock is city of 10000
people, with wharves, dry docks and
warehouses, and with Notifications
equal to any port in the world. The Pa

One evening we received orders to re-
turn Immediately to town, and while
packing up a soldier found a box OF
papers and reported the find. lnvesti-
cation showed them to be Quarter
master Igo's regimental accounts, and
instructions were given to take them
along and deliver them to him the first
opportunity. This occurred at MUIR
freesboro, and the box of papers was
returned. On receiving them lgo broke
out:
"'Well, this beats thunder! I've been
losing these papers all over the state
of Tennessee. and some blame fool in
variably finds them and brings them
back. How are my accounts with the
government ever to be settled if can't
certify that the papers are lost"
1T was reported afterward that the
government had imperatively called
upon Igo to settle up, and in answer
he had boxed up all his papers and
forwarded them to Washington with
a letter stating that these were all the
documents, and, as the department had
plenty of clerks, they could settle the
accounts at their leisure to suit them
selves."-N. Y. Sun,

he avoided disfiguring his face with a

your room. Oh, save him, general;
they're to shoot him this very day for
desertion if you don't stop them!'"
By this time Mr.. Washburne had di-
vined the nature of the situation, and
tried his best to soothe her and to eN-
tract from her coherent account Of
her troubles.
Her young husband, it appeared, in
moment of uncomfortable homesick-
ness, had deserted from his post to go
home and see her. He had been cap
tured, court-mnrtialed, sentenced to be
shot, and the sentence was to be eXecut-
ed that very day; she had heard of it
only just in time to reach camp and beg
his life of Gen. Grant.
Meanwhile, the connection had awak-
enet the general, who slept in the next
room, and he now arrived upon the
scene from within, just as Gen. Porter,
who had also heard the sound of eX-
cited voices, arrived from without.
"The spectacle partook decidedly of
the serio-comic. The dignified member
of congress was standing in his shirt
sleeves in front Of the pleading woman,
his face covered with lather, except the
swath which had been made down his
right cheek; the razor was uplifted in
his hand, and the tears were starting
out of his eyes as his sympathies began
to be worked upon, The woman was

ly, and was almost hysterical with
grief. appeared at the front door
about the same time that the genral

The poor wife soon had cause to cease
crying, for her husband was reprieved
and afterward pardoned; but Gen
Grant frequently required to the scene
in conversation, and leased his visitor
good humoredly about the extraordi
nary figure which he cut in the presence

"What has all this to do with Ila-
wailan annexation? 1t has just this
to do with 1t: From the Hong Kong to
the Jsthmus of Darien II Is $500 miles;
as far as from San Francisco across
the continent, the Atlantic, the Medit-
ernnnean and Turkey, to the boundary
of Persia. From the Aleutan islands
on the north, to the french colony of
Tahiti, 900 miles south of the equator,
the distance is $500 miles; as far as
from Greenland to 500 miles south OF
the Amazon river. In all this vast
area there is but one spot where food,
fuel and water can be obtained, and
that is Hawaii.
at has this TO do with II, that the
Pacific Is so wide that no nation mas
naval station near enough to the
Pacific coast to be available as naval
base of operations against it or its
commerce. 1t means that no battle
ships now built or building in either the
American or Japanese navy can cross
the Pacific between Yokohama and San
Francisco without recoalinG, because
they cannot carry coal enough to get
across.
at means that with Hawaii In pos
session of any hostile power there
would be established naval base of
supply and repair within five days
steaming distance of the Pacific coast.
Ii means that, with other nations shut
out OF Hawaii, they are pushed back the
entire length of the Pacific, distance
so great as to be prohibtve of hostile
pavul operations, and thereby secur-
ing immunity to the Pacific coast and
its commerce.
ALREADY six of the seven trans-Pa-
cific steamship lines make Honolulu
way-station. AS soon as the isthman
canal is completed, thereby opening up
the countries of the Pacific to the trade
of the Mississippi valley and the Gulf
states, all of that vast and growing
tide Of commerce will flow past Ha-
wall. Can the United States afford
TO take any chances as to any other
country obtaining control Of Hawaii?
The strategica key of the Pacific, the
commercial crossroads of the Pacific,
can now be had for the taking. Is it
worth having?
"None of us expect to die to-mor-
row, or that our houses will burn next
week; and yet we insure ourselves and

tween the United States and any Pa

It is said that Gen. Crittenden used to
tell with great glee a story of the re-
ply once made to him by his son, then
little boy of eight or nine years. A
day or two after the battle of Chicka-
manga the little fellow into camp.
The general rode during the battle
n horse which went by the name of John
Jay, a great favorite with his small
son. The child showed great delight at
seeing his father again, but at last, in
the midst of a vigorous hug, he asked,
suddenly:
Papa, where is John Jay?"
"Oh," said his father, gravely; "your
horse behaved very badly during the
fight; he insisted, like coward, on
taking me to the rear"
The boy looked at him searchingly
for an instant. Then his eyes CLEANED,
and he held up a remonstrant little
finger, pointing it to his parent.

because, in his opinion, the people
would never again submit to a mon
archy. In reply to the question: why
do they not desire to continue as an
independent republic" put to him by a
New York World correspondent, the
president said:
"As the islands are so far away from
other countries and as the Asiatic pop
ulaton is fast increasing in numbers
it is a serious question, If they are left
alone, whether the republic could sur
vive with the willing consent OF the
