of men and horses inside. The mer
were drilling the horses. The officers
all stood on the outside of the fence.
We saw some men riding bareback as
fast as the horse could run. The man
would reach down and pick up some
thing of of the ground, or jump of
and run and catch something, then run
and jump on his horse while the horse
was in full run. saw a man riding
who all at once would make his horse
stop and lie down and the rider would
lie down on him, sit on him, crawl all
over him, and go through all sorts OF
exercises, and that horse would lie as
if dead; would not move an ear or bat
an eye. l saw men run and jump over
their horses backs as they stood; then
they would run and jump up behind
their horses and turn around facing
back. 1t was equal to any circus / ev-
er saw. | was so interested l almost
hated to leave.
When we left the Barracks we drove
out towards the Meramec river past
acres and acres of gardens, the roads
running right through the gardens
the rows of corn, potatoes, sweet po-
tatoes, cabbages, and all sorts of stuff,
growing right up to the road-and it
looked so singular to see no fences.
Down with US we build fences to keep
things out, and up there they only
build to keep things in; nothing is per-
mitted to rnn at large. [ did not see
an animal of any kind-no, not even a
dog-runnlng by himself, only with
his master. As we passed some of
these great fields of vegetables, we
saw great many men at work. We
asked them, "How is gardening?"
The early stuff was good and we
made good thing of it. but our late
crops are almost an entire failure -
We saw acres and acres of potatoes
that would not make anything; cab
bages not worth pulling up. You see
those gardens to make it pay must
make the same ground produce two or
three crops year. They would soon
play out if they only made one crop off
of the same ground in one year. We
saw good many things that were new
to me. | saw one man whose horses
were standing almost in the road. He
was digging sweet potatoes. His
horses were hitched to a machine that
cut the tops of the sweet potatoes off
right at the potato, and two disks cut
on each side of the row which cut the
vines at the foot of the hill and lifted
the potatoes out of the ground, with
not bruise or scratch on the potato.
We passed acres of horse radish, cell
cry, and down in the low ground where
they had deep wells with windmill
pumps to irrigate the land, we saw
large patches of green things, such as
lettuce, leeks, radishes, onions for
punching, for salads. and all such
stuff that we on the farm don't bother
ourselves about.
AS it was SO pleasant and we lad
nothing else to do we drove way out
past and through six of the cities of
the dead. and we saw that time had
more sad havoc among the inhabitants
of earlier days-that the city was
thickly filed with the marks of the
past. 7. P. R.

London. July LIN the house of lords
the Marquis of Salisbury. replying to
Lord Connemara, said the delay In the
settlement Of the peace terms between
Turkey and Greece was entirely the
fault Of the former.
There was no delay so far as the
powers were concerned, but Turkey had
carried deliberation and circumspection
to such an excess that the delay was
not without danger.
Though the danger was not lmmedi-
ate, they were at present no nearer to
a solution Of the question than before.
Having referred to the situation in
1875 pointing out that then a Russian
army was at the gates of Constantine
pie, the Marquis of Salisbury remarked
that as, I'm proportion TO the circum-
stances, the year 1897 became analo-
gous with the year 1878. so his hopes OF
a satisfactory result increase.
IF Prince Bismarck was presiding at
the conference. as he did in 1878, the re-
suit would be different. A powerful
Russian army was then within a stones
throw OF Constantinople, and any sug-
gestion from Prince Bismarck that a
failure of the conference would result
in the movement of that army undoubt-
edly produced that effect on Turkish
deliberations which Is desired now"

to Admit Were Wrong.
Occasionally science must admit fail
ure. One night young man in Divinity
hall at Yale undertook with toy rifle
to hit lamp. But his aim was poor
and the ball passed through the window
of an eminent and venerable professor
of science and embedded itself in the
wall.
This was the opportunity for the pro-
fessor and for science, says the Hartford
Courant. He set to work and computed
the curve, and with the exact skill of in
fallible figures he traced the ball right
back TO the room of an innocent col
league who didn't even know the rife
had been fired.
The unhedged minister fatty denied
all knowledge Of the affair. But men.
even ministers. have been known TO
make denials in self-defense, and the
professor had the proof with him.
There was the bullet, there were the
marks of its course. and there was the
computation worked out. IL looked as
If pulpit career was to be nipped in the
bud.
But the guilty student heard what
was going on. He called on the pro-
fessor, confessed the offense. pointed
out that the man of science was 200 feet
out in his computation. and advised
that the matter be dropped rightwhere
It was.
And that was done.

STATESUESFORFEES
New jerseys Attorney General
After Former Officers.
A SUBJECT OF SENATE DISCUSSION.
One OF the Parties to he Sued Claims
That the Fees Properly Belonged
TO Him and Takes Refuge
Under the Statutes.

Trenton, July attorney General
Grey, after consultation with Governor
Griggs, has decided to institute suits on
behalf OF the state against Henry c.
Kelsey, former secretary of state, and
against the estate Of the late George S.
Duryee, formerly bank and insurance
commissioner. These suits are to be
brought In the supreme court TO recover
about $4,000 which these officials col
lected in fees and retained under their
construction Of the laws providing for
the fees. The suit against Kelsey is for
about $4,000 and that against the Dur
yee estate for about $4,000.
The retention Of the fees in question
by Secretary Of State Kelsey was one
OF the subjects of the statehouse in
vestigation Of two years ago William
II. Corbin. the counsel for the investi-
cation committee at that time. express
ed the opinion that Mr.. Kelsey had no
right to the fees which he retained. and
this view was sustained by the commit
tee in its report to the legislature.
Mr. Kelsey collected and retained the
fees for his own use under the act of
April 18, 1891, which defined certain du-
ties Of the secretary Of state and pro-
vided that for such duties he should be
entitled to charge and receive fees.
This act Mr. Kelsey held to mean that
the fees belonged to him and that the
act was amendatory of the act of 1881
giving him a salary of $4,000 in lieu of
all fees. Mr.. Kelsey claimed at the in
vestigation that he was advised by
counsel that he had right to retain the
fees.
The suit to be brought against him
will be based on the contention of the
penate investigating committee that the
act of 1891, providing for the payment
Of the fees in dispute, should be con-
strued to the effect that the secretary
Of state was to charge and receive the
fees for the benefit of the state. and
that the act did not and was not in
tended to increase his compensation as
a state official.
The matter In dispute was the sub
ject OF a conference between Attorney
General Grey and counsel for Mr.. Kel-
sey, and the result Of the conference
was an agreement that suit should be
started TO the end that the courts may
determine whether the fees were legal
lyretained or not. The suit TO be brought
against the estate of the late Bank anC
Insurance Commissioner Duryee is ex
actly Of the same nature as that to b'
brought against Mr.. Kelsey.
