There would seem to be material for
many effective temperance sermons in the
records which have been kept by George
L. Harris, the efficient probation officer at
Northampton. Mr.. Harris's records are
very complete, and in a seconds time he
can give the record of any man who has
been before the court and has come under
his jurisdiction.
Since 1891 there have been 3611 drunks
in Hampshire county that have come be-
fore the courts. If TO this should be added
the thousands that have been quietly di-
rected by police officers and constables to
go home the number would be certainly
startling. Mr.. Harris attends the session
of the district court every morning, and
by his admirable system of books and pa
pers is able to give to the presiding justice
the record of any man that has been be-
fore the court before.

American House at Greenfield Sold.

The Americ an House block at Green
field was sold Saturday by Mrs. Sarah ST.
mons to Chas. F. Packard, representing a
syndicate. The property is assessed for
100000, and it is supposed that it was
sold for about $4,000. The block con-
tains the American House of 20 rooms,
five stores fronting on Main street and FIVE
on Davis street. O. c. Allen, proprietor
of the American House, has recently re
newed his lease for five years, and no
change is looked for in the management
of the hotel. Mr. Packard's associates in
the purchase are John II. Sanderson and
Charles H. Keith, and there is a possibility
that others will join the syndicate later.

New Impetu. to Sugar Beet Culture

The secretary of agriculture has intro
duced in the work of his department a new
system of distributing seeds. His object is
to diversity as far as possible, the farm
products of the United States. Valuable
seeds will be selected from all parts of the
country and placed in the hands of farm
ers likely to use them to advantage. The
sugar beet will be made speciality, not
only in its cultivation for sugar but for
the production of the seed, which is now
imported from abroad. In regard TO the
sugar beet the secretary said 1--WE are
importing S100,000,000 worth of sugar an
nually, and it seems to me the cultivation
of the sugar beet is an important matter.
The soil and climate of the northwest are
particularly well adapted to this produc-
ton. The beets in some cases yield as
high as 20 per cent of sugar, whereas in
France the yield is but little above Is per
cent. We are obliged to import beet seed
from abroad, as the supply of the best kind
is not sufficient in this country. Over
there they have been experimenting for &C
years in order to get a high grade of seed.
We have just started in three of our eX-
pertinent stations work for the develop
ment of high grade beet seed. l see no
reason why we shall not be able in a few
years 10 produce beet seed as fine or finer
than the seeds we now import from
| abroad

EVENTS AS THEY PASS,
Grim War

Has Broken out Between Greece and
Turkey---the Fighting During the
Week---Odds Seem TO Favor the Turks.
The expected war between Turkey and
Greece became fact officially recognized
last Saturday, when the Turkish minister
of foreign affairs notified the foreign en-
voys that the Turkish frontier had been
crossed on Friday night by fresh bands of
Greeks, among whom were number of
Greek regulars, and for this reason the
sultan had announced the severing of di-
plomatic relations between the two coun-
tries.
The Greeks hold that it was an attempt
upon the part of the Turkish forces to &C.
cupy strategic position near Mount An
alpsas, not far from Nezeros, In the neu-
tral zone, along the northern boundary Of
Greece, which led to the encounter on Fri
day between the Greeks and the Turks.
This, it is said, was used at Constantine
pie as a reason for ordering the Turkish
commander to assume the offensive, and
led to the rupture of diplomatic relations
between the countries.
A fierce battle was fought Sunday at
Milouna pass, in which the Turks were
victorious. The situation up to Monday
night was thus roughly sketched: On
the west coast and the frontier of Epirus
the Greeks are carrying everything be-
fore them and are making a victorious in
vasion of the enemy's country.
The Turks, on the other hand, have
captured Milouna pass, which is consid-
cred the key of Larlssa, a city of north
eastern Greece, and the Greek position
there and at other points in Thessaly is in
the gravest danger.
The loss of Larssa would mean an open
road to Volo and, eventually, to Athens,
and, unless the Turkish advance is speed
lily and decisively checked, the Greeks will
have little to hope for.
All accounts agree that the Turks are
fighting everywhere like demons, and that
the Greeks, although they are outnum-
bered at most points, are behaving with
no less valOr and fury.
Wednesdays Fighting.
The Turks captured, on Wednesday,
Tyrnavo, the Greek post ten miles from
Larissa, and fierce fighting in which Crown
Prince Constantine and Prince Nicholas
personally engaged, was carried on all day
in the mountain passes and at other
points approaching Larissa. The Turks
greatly outnumbered the Greeks, but the
Greeks are aided by the peasants who have
risen to the defence of Larissa 1t seems
to be nearly a drawn contest, with the
Turks slowly gaining the mastery.
On the coast, just above the boundary
line, to the northeast, the Greek fleet is
bombarding Platamona and threatening
the Turkish port of Salonica, on the north
where great excitement prevails.

Carl Newburg, "a, met with horrible
death at Orange Saturday. He met some
acquaintance, who asked him TO take a
drink. More drinks followed and he be-
came intoxicated he arrived home about
midnight and reached the top stair. His
wife opened the door, when, suddenly, he
reeled and fell backward, down the stairs,
breaking his neck. Newhurg came from
Sweden five years ago and was employed
in the shoe shop here. He leaves a wife
and one child.
W. J. O RQurke, who disappeared from
Shelburne Falls last Wednesday, was seen
by the roadside between Greenfield and
Deerfeld Friday. O'Rourke was asleep on
the grass. 1t is supposed that he is wan
dering about the country in a demented
condition.
The body of Ebenezer Locke, so, was
found in the circuit mill pond at West Or
ange, Mass. last week Wednesday. He re-
tired as usual Tuesday night, but it is sup
posed that while the family were asleep he
left the house, wal ed into the pond and
sat down. He was a native of Wendell,
but had lived Orange 80 years. He was a
well-to-do farmer, and since the death of
his wife had lived with his son. Almon C..

Hampton. the alleged defaulting treas
urer of Livingston county, which has
been out since Wednesday, reported that
It was impossible to reach an agreement
and was discharged. Hampton. who
was serving his second term as county
treasurer. left his office last November.
and an investigation showed an alleged
shortage Of some $4,000. He was ar
rested. Hampton is said to have placed
In the hands of his bondsmen, to await
issue Of proceedings, property equal to
the alleged shortage. His case was pre-
sented to the November grand jury and
it failed to find an indictment against
him. for which the jurymen were un-
mercifully scored by Judge Werner.
The next grand jury found seven in
dictments against Hampton. Court has
now been adjourned until Nov. 15 at
which time another panel Of jurors is
to be drawn, and the same indictment
Is to be tried again on Nov. 22.

what English Papers snx.

LONDON. oct. 3O.-The Daily Chron-
icle says: The news of the death of
Henry George viii come with deep sad
ness to millions throughout the civilized
world. He died In the harness, a victim
to a herculean effort TO raise New York
from the slough of corruption and mis-
lile. He could himself have hardly
chosen a better death. No better or
sweeter man has lived for many a long
year Few will dispute that he was one
of the most remarkable figures among
modern reformers. We doubt whether
his political group in America will sur
vive. 1t will probably be merged in the
great party of social discomfort, whose
formation is perhaps the most startling
portent Of our time"
The Daily Mail thinks the nomination
of Mr.. Georges son viii be quickly re-
pented."
The Daily Graphic deems 1t easily
possible that New York may get a
worse mayor than Mr.. George, with all
his i'll considered doctrines, would have
made"
The Morning Post, commenting on
the tragic element in Mr. Georges
DEATH" says: His own prospects for
the mayoralty were poor enough, the
chief interest Of his candidacy lying in
its effect on Tammany Hall. 1t is re-
marlSable that throughout his career
Mr. George never gained the confidence
of any considerable section of his coun-
trymen. II is highly creditable to the
common sense Of American democracy
that his skirful appeals produced little
or no effect"
The Times, after alluding to the "rar-
ity Of such a dramatic DEATH says:
"Mr. Georges influence was largely
personal and, even if he had been
elected, he would probably have disap-
pointed his devotees. He was sincere,
but he would have had no opportunity
OF carrying into effect his fiscal and So
cial theories, while he would have been
unable. through inexperience. to resist
the steady pressure of the workers anc
bosses. His death gives great ad-
vantage to Tammany Hall, which would
In any case probably be victorious
Scrupulously honest a man as we be-
lieve Henry George to have been, he
might have kept his own hands clean II
such a position put he could not have
reformed the system and he might
have possibly ingrafted upon II som'
new evils. The American people hay
ing strong practical instincts, Mr.
Georges philosophy met with a larger
measure Of support in England than II
the limited States"

A rrIbute From Garrison.

BOSTON, oct. S0.-William Lloyd Gar
rison, one of Henry Georges warmest
admirers and personal friends. when in
formed OF the sudden death OF the sin
gle tax advocate. was deeply affected.
In an Interview Mr.. Garrison said;
1T Is difficult for me. with the tu-
multuous feelings of the moment, TO at
tempt a portrayal Of this great man.
My personal relations with him, my
reverence for his character, my conyic-
ton Of his unselfsh and humane pur-
pose, will contribute to make my tribute
a partial one. But yet 1 am sure that
the perspective of history win reveal
him In larger proportions than are seen
by his associates.
Henry George was one of the great
reformers OF the world. His conscience
was active his sympathies broad, his
purpose indomitabie. his courage un-
failing. his devotion to principle abso-
lutc. Probably no author of the age has
found so wide an audience"
Mayor Quincy was shocked TO heai
Of the sudden death Of Mr. George.
''The writings Of Henry George" n,
said. have made n stronger impression
upon greater numbers Of people thar
those Of any other upon economic ques
tions Of the present generation. and hi.
place in literature is secure. whatever
may be the practical application whicl
the world may give in future TO hi
theories"
