DIR. MAXwELEs RESEARCH.

well. director of the experiment
station. at the last annual meet
ing of the Hawaiian Sugar Plant
ers' association merits the atten-
ton Of every person interested di-
rectIy or Indirectly in the agri-
cultural products of the country.
In this report DIR. Maxwell shows
wherein he has upset theories ac-
cepted by the leading scientists
of the world, all of which is q
further demonstration of what
practical scientific research may
accomplish not only for Hawaiian
planters and those gaining their
bread and butter from the staple
product. but for the whole scien-
tific and industrial world.
1t has been held by biological
chemists that plants are not able
to- take the nitrogen they need in
growth in any other form than
that i'm which it il prepared by
the bacteria that exists in soils
Further. the scientists have be
lieyed that these soil bacteria
could not operate and prepare nj
trOgen for vegetation in acid soils.
DIR. Maxwell has, by observation
in the field and laboratory, in the
course of his work, broken down
mt least one of these theories and
shown distinctly that certain soil
bacteria can prepare nitrogen for
the growing crops in sour soils,
or that these crops can take nitro
gen that the bacteria have not
prepared. The great significance
of these observations has immedi-
ateIy appeared to other scientific
men and DIR. Maxwell has already
received complimentary commu-
nications from the two greatest
living authorities on these sub
iects-PrOf. Marcker of Germany
and Prof. Hilgard of America
DIR. Maxwelrs time is too fully ta-
ken with the practical application
of his observations upon the plan
tations to- go into the more sci
entific nature of these questions,
but he has written advising the
study of the question in the lab
OratOries of two experiment sta
tiOns in Germany and America,
and has suggested the lines along
which the subject shall be inves-
tigated. Aside from the practical
value of this work TO the agricul-
tural industry, DIR. Maxwell states
that his observations upon the
conditions in which bacteria can
live and operate may be found to
have also special bearing upon
animal diseases, and thus have an
interest from Il medical stand
point.
We have no doubt the people
of Hawaii, the men reaping the
returns from applied science, will
give DR.. Maxwell the large meas
ure of credit which is his just due;
they will accept the say so of DR..
Maxwell and his brother scien-
fists and let the matter drop IN
til something new is brought to
their attention. This is all very
well so far as it goes, but we
doubt if our people are fully
aroused TO the value of their own
efforts in giving assistance To the
scientist. Particularly in scien-
tific investigation touching agri-
culture does the chemist in the
laboratory require the co-Opera-

the Situation.
Havana, July e. General Arolns, til c
former military commander of the Jucaro-
Moron trocha, and now on General Wey-
ler's staff, in conversation with other
Spanish generals recently had this to say
on the situation:
''To conquer the revolution in East
Cuba General Weyler will require 200, COG
soldiers more, and it will cost 5000, 900,
900. If Spain can afford all this, then
we may make the campaign regardless of
the yellow fever and the heat. If not we
will have to..wait until next winter"
The 90, 900 men that Canovas offers to
Weyler are little better than no men at
all under the present circumstances.
From the Juearo, Moron trocha to the
east end of Cuba $4,000 Spanish soldiers
are dying in the hospitals of yellow fever
The heat is intense. This Is considered
to be the hottest summer Cuba has hat
in 90 years. Moreover, the Cubans il

DISCUSSING THE SUFFRAGE.

The following articles appeored in
recent editions of the Washington Post,
and furnish very interesting reading to
the voters of Wyoming:
"My objection to woman suffrage is
not based on prejudice. but is the result
of close range oXp~crience" said Mr.
D.. A. Newsome of Wyoming at the

Maj. H. Claiche, ex-secretary of Wyo-
ming, who has been in the city several
days. takes exception to an interview
which appeared in the Post, in which
Mr.. d. A. Newsome of Wyoming said
that woman suffrage was a rank fail
urc in the west and that many good
women leave the polls rather than be
thrown with the bad element around
such places. Maj. Glafcke is one of the
most prominent men in Wyoming and
Of the state. When seer last night by
a Post reporter he said:

man suffrage was adopted by the legis-
lature of Wyoming territory in 1869:

GU limitation as to sex. creed or color.

law and adopted it with only one dis

this constitution was approved by an
overwhelming majority of the people.
Equal suffrage is. therefore. as perma-
nently established in Wyoming as its
rugged hills. and cannot and never will
be repealed.

COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING.
Several Matters Taken UP, Discussed and
Passed Upon.


There was a special meeting of the
common council Thursday at which all
the members we're present.
The street commissioner for the north
division was balloted for three times,
John DeFrang receiving five votes on
the third ballot.
The street committee reported that
the G.. & n. w. tracks were l21 inches
above grade at the Prairie avenue
crossing. The clerk was instructed to
notify the company to lower the tracks
to grade.
The fire committee reported against
allowing stairway being built at the
south end of the Kimball block, as
they already had one stairway, and
that if built it would obstruct the walk
and be public nuisance.
A petition was presented from KEN
per hall, requesting the placing of a
fire alarm box on the school premises.
The petition was referred to committee
on fire department. with chief.
A number of matters, such as the
paying of the Carrie Lee $4,000 order,
the David Vaughn petition for rebate,
the Davy claim and opening up of
Cedar street, we're laid over to obtain
legal advice before acting on them.
The difference in the grade of the
sidewalks on Park avenue came up for
discussion, and the matter was finally
referred to the committee on streets,
alleys and bridges with the city engin-

INVITED TO THE STERLING.
The State Meet of the L. A. w. To Take
Lunch at the Factory

The Sterling Cycle company has ex-
tended an invitation to the officers Of
the Racine Athletic association to have
an old fashioned run on one morning of
the L. A. W. state meet, to the COM
pany's factory here. The new cycle
path between the two cities will prob
ably be completed by that time and it
will be most enjoyable event for the
hundreds of visiting and local wheel
men. In their Invitation the Sterling
people include a thorough inspection Of
their plant, to conclude with a fine
lunch to all wheelmen who participate.
The run will take place Friday morning
during the meet and it will undoubted-
ly be participated in by at least 1000
wheelmen. The inspection of the Ster-
ling company's mammoth factory will
be rare treat to the wheelmen, as the
plant is generally recognized as being
one of the best equipped bicycle fac
tories in the country. Their ability to
turn out standard wheels is acknowl-
edged by all riders, and the run and an
to inspect a high grade
bicycle factory will be most enjoyable.
The meeting will be held in Racine

9 When the party had returned to
Main street, from the circuit about the

it was all the mayor could do to keep

If any young man living in De-

he must be able to stand rigid ex-

ment, which they say is sadly needed
at present.
At meeting the first OF the week
the league passed the following resolu-
ton by full vote:
g Be it resolved, That we, the mem
bers of the Manageable Ladies'
League" do hereby agree not to marry
any man who is not patron of his

dence of a want of intelligence, and he
will prove too stingy to provide for a
family, educate his children and en-
courage institutions of learning in the

The marriage of Miss Blanche Y.

the ceremony.
The bridal party marched down
stairs to the strains of q wedding
march played by Miss Sherwood,
cousin of the bride, taking their places
beneath a floral bell extending from the
archway. Miss Jessie Trafford acted
as bridesmaid, and Frank Eddy,
brother of the bride, as best man.
The bride was attired in white India
linen trimmed with lace and ribbons,
carrying cream roses. The bridesmaid
wore white organdie over green silk,
with ribbon trimmings; her flowers
were pink roses. The rooms were
beautifully decorated with smilax and
carnations.
About ninety of the young peoples
triends and relatives were present.
After the ceremony congratulations
