Judge Page Morris, of my CITY," said
Mr.. George +. Lynch, OF Duluth, at W Niilard q
last night, lis one OF the men who helped
hold the Northwest for Mckinley and sound
money against renegade Republicans
His opponent for Congress was G. A. Iowns,
the member from tie Duluth district, VINO
haG DEMOCRATS, Popul-sts and silver Repub-
licans at his back. Mr.. Towne tectured IN
New York recently on bimetaInsm. Judge
Morris won by 707 votes ia hot contest.
Thirteen years ago Judge Morris ran for
Congress In his native State, Virgin IA,
and his successful opponent was John W.
Daniel, now Senator from that State.
Before that time Judge Morris had taught
mathematics in O Texas agricultural coli
legc. He studied Ia while teaching, IN q
aiter six years practice In LyncnDurg,
Va, went TO Duluth. where he has been city
attorney and district Judge lie was a

Electricians OF high profess 'onal char

gested some years ago that the electric
current might drive tie steam locomotive
wholly cut of use, but the suggestion was
thought By practical railway men to be a
mere chimera. Little by little the mystI
force demonstrated its superiority over all
other motive powers for town and suburban
transportation, until now New York is
almost the only city in America dependent

There is now every prospect said
Mr. ID. c. De Witt, OF New York, at the
Metropolitan. that New York in the course
OF few years win have what it has
hitherto lacked-a public library in a
proper location, and witIi adequate equip
meIt as well The metropolis has been
much more poorly off for libraries than
any other really large city in the country
But with the Union OF the resources Of
the A 5tor, Lenox, and Tilden libraries,
New York should, in time, have one Of
the most splendid collections OF books in
the world The location OF the new
library in Bryant Square could not be
better; but l am afraid that the trustees
are not approaching the question of the
building To be erected III spirit liberal
enough
''New York should have the most splen-
did library building In the world, and
Mere considerations of cost should not
determine the question. New York Is
rich and money can be had to do what
is ut and proper. Moreover, we have
architects quite competent TO design n
building worthy of the pride OF the people
Of the metropolis. Looking at the matter
from Whatever point, considering its ma
terial as well as its aesthetic aspects.

SPEAKING upon the Cuban question, Mr..
Grosvenor said that President Mckinley
had sent special ambassador to the
island 20 ascertain the true conditions.
There is a Chevy Chase Sunday stag party
inaceuracy about such a proposition that
must be apparent to everybody. The Ad-
Mr. Calhoun went to Cuba solely as ad-
visory counsel to Gen. Fitzhugh Lee in the
Ruiz case; and the missionary himself re-
peatedly has asserted that his instruc-
tions went no further.
Perhaps some latitude should be allowed
TO a gentleman forced to plead bad
Mckinley .'sympathizes" with the people
OF Cuba, he owes duty TO laws and the
Constitution of the country. and our
treaties with foreign Eations are part
OF the law
Mr. Grosyenor omitted to mention the
interesting fact that, in order to prevent
a constitutional expression OF Cuban sym
pathy by the House of Representatives, the
Administration, through Thomas Brackett
Reed has thought it necessary TO suppress
that body and openly to violate the Con-
stitution. Neither did he refer to the
other fact, that no treaty, no international
law or duty would have been violated IL
the President had recognized the belliger-
ency of the Cuban republic; but that, on
the contrary, the canons of international
and have been mandatory upon him 10
do Just that thing.
The nerve of Mr.. Grosyenor is monu-

A discovery and its outcome. A
story of linens. Sixteen years ago
our Linen Chief, travelling among
the linen makers of Germany STUN
bled across a gem-a tiny linen fac
tory that could have been set in its
entirety on couple of city lots.
But its ruling spirit was a genius and
the linens he was producing shone
by comparison with the best in all
Germany. We bought a few and
ordered more and the firm of A. Z.
Stiller & Sohn had stepped to the
fame it deserved. Yearly the orders
grew, and the factory at Sorau to-
day is ten times the size of the biiou
we first found.
Stiller linens are unmatchably
good.
Sturdy, slightly stuffs whose char
acteriStics are being unsuccesSfully
aPed by makers far and wide. We
have their product for retail distri-
bution-or rather his product, for the
elder Stiller has been dead these
four years. The son succeeded to
the business in its entirety-and the
qualities that won him high military
rank have ample play in the life
work he has taken up.

There is no such thing as a sea-
son for poultry. The keeping OF
fowls should be made business
every month in the year. If there
are no eggs to sell, sell the fat and
lazy hens, as they are usually I'M
productive. In fact, try and not
only make the hens lay but raise as
many fowls as possible. The COW
and hen can assist the farmer to re-
ceive cash when there is nothing
else coming in. 1t is an excellent
rule to keep in view-have some
thing to sell-for if it is observed il
will lead the farmer to give more
consideration to the details and in.
duce him to adapt every possible
method to accomplish the desired
object. To sell something is what
every farmer aims to do, bat he will
lose time unless he so manages as
to secure an income every month
Poultry and eggs sell for cash and
any attention given the fowls will
always be repaid with a good profit
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-12-31

The avidity with which laying
hens will eat crushed egg shells
shows how necessary they are in the
hens economy for egg production.
There Is no better way to supply
lime required for egg shells than
this. The shells in the gizzard also
act as grit, enabling IL to digest
food. The only care in feeding is to
crash the shells thoroughly, so that
its likeness to the egg may not be
seen. Where egg shells are thrown
out without being crushed, the fowls
soon learn the habit of picking at
the shells on eggs, and from this
they quickly become egg-eaters, a
habit which, when once formed, is
never forgotten.-Dakota Field and
Farm
