FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Field Day at Snook's Grove-At
tended by Hundreds.

A well-attended open air meeting of
the Farmers Institute was held on
Tuesday last in Snook's woods, near
Utica, this county and although the
weather was anything but propitious
to such an event, still it did not seTi-
ously interfere with the program, nor
dampen the ardor of those who came
to tell farmers about the varions mat
tiers connected with their occupations.
The grove was well filled with teams
and carriages and many brought their
lunches with them and made it the oc-
casion of picnic. Music was furnish
ed by portion of the choir of the Uti-
ca Reformed Church, which was great
ly enjoyed by ALL. A band was also
in attendance. President ID. Column
bus Kemp, of the Frederick County
Farmers Institute, was present and
presided at the meeting.
Addresses were made on farming
and various subjects pertaining to ag-
riculture by Prof. w. G. Johnson,
State entomologist; Prof. S. b. Hagis,
United States pomologist, of Washing
ton; Willis p. Hazard, Practical
farmer, Of West Chester, Pa; Prof.
James s. Robinson, State borticultur-
lists, and others.
From all accounts it was most salts
factory affair in every way and cannot
fail to be of great benefit to all who
participated.

DEATH OF A HERMIT.
Lived Alone For Almost Forty Years.
Was Formerly Physician.


Hammonton, n. j., June S.-A man
who lived in Hammonton for almost 40
years without his name or antecedentS
becoming known to the curious is dead
in the little house he erected on the
corner of the 20 acres he purchased
when he came here. He was a recluse,
and two persons only knew his real
name. He was w. Potter, and he was
formerly a doctor. He attempted rails
ing fruits, but it was never a success
full venture, because he was expert
menting, and tried to raise about twice
as much on an acre as the ground would
support.
Some years ago he advertised for a
wife, but although he received many
answers, none of the women answering
suited him. When he first came here,
the hermit confided his story to William
Frost. Frost died without telling the
story
After the hermit began to fail he
made a confidant of L. B. Joslyn. Mr..
Joslyn cared for him during his last
days and communicated with the dead
mans relatives. Mr.. Joslyn says the
dead man was born in Medina, N. Y,
where he has a brother and sister liv-
ing. He was 72 years old and was the
youngest member of a large family.
He once had lucrative practice, but
for some reason he dropped medicine.
He was said to be Spiritualist.

Decoration Day.

Again has Decoration Day come and
gone, and the graves of the Federal
dead in all our national and private
cemeteries, besides being decorated
with flowers, from each grave floated
our national emblem, the "Stars and
Stripes" This is as it should be. Our
national flag should float over all its
defenders, be they living or dead, pro-
claiming to the world uation's graft
tude to its heroic defenders. DecOra-
tion Day means to perpetuate feeling
of loyalty and love of country. But
does Decoration Day honor all who
sleep in patriotic graves? Are there
not homes where poverty is unrelieved
by Federal pensions? The beautiful
custom of decorating the graves of the
dead originated with the Druids, who
on the annual anniversary of the death
of their saints, decorated the graves
of their dead with their choicest fow-
ers, always believing that there was u
sweet fragance and perfume that lin-
gered about the graves of the good.
Could not the brave afford 10 be gen.
erous? And should not the graves of
the fallen soldiers of the South receive
at the hands of grateful people some
manifestation of thu ir appreciation OF
lofty deeds of herolsm? Men who
through their lives exhibited the
highest type of citizenship and in their
deaths illustrated to the world an eX-
ample OF patriotic sacrifice, unparalell.
ed in the history of modern times.
Death makes no conquest of the conquerors
For now they live in lame, though moi in life
During The last week the graves OF
the soldiers of the South were strewn
with the choicest flowers that grow
in that fair land. Aud though ma.
ton may fail to do them homage, the
people of the South viii ever cherish
the memory of her heroes.
The grand thoughts given to the
world by the philosophers of Greece
will outwear their Pantheon The ut.
terances of the Roman Senators de
claring some great truths will be heard
when the massive walls that hurried
back their utterances have perishtd
1t is the never dying remembrance OF
the deeds of the soldiers of the South
that will make their names immortal
and the people of the South will kee[
green their graves as long AS the foun.
datiOns of her mountains shall stand
and her rivers shall roll TO the sea.
"On fame's eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread;
While memory guards with sacred rounds,
The bivouac of the dead"

Washington, June 9.-The caucus OF
Republican senators by a nearly unani-
nous vote decided to accept the sugar
Schedule in the house bill, with an
amendment making the differential in
tavor of refined sugar one-fifth of a
kent a pound. 1t was also decided to
make the rate 10 per cent less on sug-
brs testing below 81 degrees.
The senators present, on motion OF
bIr. Quay, pledged themselves by a roll
ball to stand by the sugar schedule and
klso to stand by every amendment pro-
bosed by the finance committee.
1t was agreed that this was the only
means by which the traiff bill could be
brought to a vote promptly. There are
eonficting views on many schedules,
but all are TO be reconciled, amicably
d possible and by caucus if necessary
Rrhe next formal caucus Will probably
be over the tobacco schedule, which
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina
wants changed for the benefit of the
tobacco growing states.

SILVER REPUBLICANS
First Meeting of the Provisional
Committee Held In Chicago.
IHIRTY-TWO STATES REPRESENTED.

States, With Equality In Money
Power of Silver and Gold.

Power of Silver and Gold.
Chicago, juno 9.-Thirty-two states
were represented at the first meeting
of the provisional committee of the Ma
tional Silver Republican party, which
met in executive session at the Leland
hotel. Besides the committeeman of
the various states represented over 100
silver Republicans were present from
all parts of the country. The states rep
resented were Alabama, Arkansas, Cal
ifornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Della
ware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, louisiana Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missou-
ri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey,
New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Okla
homa, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington. Wisconsin.
Wyoming and West Virginia.
The meeting was called to order by
X-Congressman Charles A. Towne Of
Minnesota, chairman of the provisional
committee, who delivered the opening
address, in the course of which he said:
Our motives are these: We desire
above all things else of immediate polit-
ical concern the speedy establishment
the same privilege of free coinage at
the mint for both gold and silver and
absolute equality between them in all
money power. when coined, with the op-
ton to every payer, whether the gov
ernment or an individual, to choose
what coin shall be the basis of payment
in every instance. We wish to do all
in our power to advance this happy con-
summation, and we realize that If this
great cause is to succeed in the cleo
tions of 1898 and 1900 it can do so only
through the addition to the allied armies
of 100000 that followed the banner of
the joint standard in 1896 of at least
some hundreds of thousands of Repub-
licans of that contest"
In conclusion, he said the immediate
business in hand was the determination
of the time and place for holding a ma
tional convention, the membership OF
which could make an authoritative dec
laration of principles, and the discussion
and adoption of plan of general or
would follow.
Committees on order Of business and
plan of organization were then named,
of which latter ex-senator Dubois OF
Idaho was made chairman.
A resolution was passed admitting tc
the meeting the visiting silver Repub-
licans who were not members of the
provisional committee and giving them
all privileges except that of voting.
