Pennsylvania's Forest Policy.

Another important step forward in
the established forest policy of the
state of Pennsylvania was taken by
the Governor when he recently APP
pointed the Forest Reservation Com
mission under the Act of 1897. He
named as members of this commits,
sion Prof. ]. I. Rothrock, the State
Forestry Commissioner; Major l. b.
Brown, Deputy Secretary of Internal
Affairs; DIR. George G. Croft, Presi-
dent of the State Board of Health.
and Albert Lewis, of Bear Creek, Luz
zerne county. Another member is yet
to BE chosen under the act. He must
be lawyer and conveyancer, and it is
understood the Governor has selected
a man for the place.
The commission will fix and report
on three state forest reservations OF
40, 600 acres, each at the headwaters
of the three chief waters the Deld-
ware Susquehanna and Ohio. The act
provides that the land selected shall
have no agricultural or mineral value,
and the condemnation proceedings will
be similar to those pursued in securing
Valley Forge Park.
The reservations must have some
woodland, and be at least 800 feet
above sea level.

INA BROOKLYN, N. Y. JAIL.

First He Failed to Tell the Truth and
Then He Wouldn't Turn Over Certain
Money to the Public administrators.
Sent to Jail on Contempt Proceedings
He Escapes and Is Recaptured-Now He
Acts Like a Maniac.
"Hetty Green in trousers" This is
one of the epithets flung at the mil
Iionaire and former broker, Josiah j..
White. He is the terror of Raymond
street jail, Brooklyn
Fifty-nine years ago he was born in
Connecticut, at Portland, they say.
Although Yankee by birth, he has
lived in a brown stone palace on
Brooklyn Heights for twenty-five
years. The wealthiest and most dis
tinguished have been his neighbors-
Henry Ward Beecher, DR.. Lyman
Abbot, Congressman Simeon B. Chit
tenden and others.
A man well housed in well con-
structed, well cemented jail is sup
posed to be "caged" and harmless.
This case breaks all rules and prece-
dents 1t is because White is there
at all that the warden and keepers
want to get out of the business and
flee the country.
Lawyers are likewise at their wits

as they came along the passageway.
At any moment during the night he is
liable to yell 'Murderl Help! Help!
They are killing mel at the top Of his
voice. The whole prison and neighbors
for q block around are awake before
he can be made to shut up. He spends
hours inventing new schemes for an
noying us and disturbing the prison
ers, until they want him thrown out
or killed"
When he lowered himself from a
gable window down sixty feet to the
pavement recently and escaped to
Connecticut, he put his new adj
dress on his will, which was left
behind. No secret was made of his
destination, because he would be out
of the jurisdiction of the Brooklyn au-
thorities. And if an attempt were
made to extradite him he would be
able to defend himself successfully in
the Connecticut courts. But the
Brooklyn sheriff and posse found him,
snapped on the irons and carried him
off bodily, and before he could say,
"Help me, Grover Cleveland" he
found himself in the night express,
booked for Brooklyn.
When again in Raymond street Jail
he was the maddest man in forty
states. For once all his plans had
failed. His palace home, overlooking
proud New York and the bay from the
Heights, did him no good. The very
thought of his wealth, his friends and
his Connecticut resources but aggra-
waited his fury. He shouted, scream
ed and howled until the prison was
like Roman menagerie on fast day.
Between his paroxysms he wrote let
ters and summoned lawyers. Sooner
or later they were denounced and dis
missed.

FEEDING THE WORLD.

Americas Remarkable Food Expectation
as shown by Recent Official Reports.
The record of the most remarkable
year in our export trade has been COM
pleted by the bureau of statistics so
far as relates to the expectation of
wheat, corn and other breadstuffs,
pork, beef and other provisions, cot
ton, and mineral oils. These articles
form large percentage of the total
exports aside from the manufactures
The figures show in most cases a
large increase in quantity and value
of the articles exported, though in
some cases, notably mineral oils and
cotton, the export price per unit has
averaged less during the year than in
the preceding year.
The cotton exported during the year
increased from 3,103, 754, 949 pounds to
3,341, 332, 800 pounds, while the. total
value last year was $3.50, 800, 971 and for
the year just ended 2S9, 9O7, 472.
The expectation of mineral oil in
creased from 973,514,946 gallon, to L.
022.21O,379 gallons, yet the total value
in the year just ended was only $685.
171,O0O against $62, 635,O37 in the pre-
ceding year.
In provisions, including beet, pork
and dairy products the value Of the
expectations was greater than last
year, being 1854, 454,074, against $1S7,-
13S,084 last year.
In wheat, corn, oats and rye the in
crease in both quantities and values
was strongly marked. The expectation
of wheat for the year flour included,
amounted to 215,171, 961 bushels, which
exceeded the expectation of any pre-
ceding year except that of 1892 which
amounted to 225, GOSSIP bushels. The
value of the wheat and flour exported
during the year amounted to $212,891,-
639, sum only surpassed in 1880 and
1892, the total in 1880 being $225, 879,-
SOP, and that of 1892 being 1926, 761,-
416.
In corn the exports for the year ex-
ceeded both in quantity and value
those of any preceding year, the num-
Der of bushels Including corn meaD
being 209,859, 102 bushels. valued at
$75,26O,O67 The largest expectation
of corn in any preceding year was 17S,
S17, AIT bushels in 1897, valued at $54,-
989, 213, while in no year prior to 1897
did the quantity of corn exported
ever reach half of the year just end
ed.
In oats, cat meal and rye, the expor-
tation also greatly increased, the to-
tai in each case for the year just end
ed being about double that of the pre-
ceding year The value of the exports
of oats and oat meal in the fiscal year
1898 was $22, ,752 against SO, 1927, SAT
in the previous year.. The value Of rye
exported was $S,795,820, against 3d.
667 sos in the previous year.
Total value of breadstuffs exported
$324,706, $50, against S197 ,S57,219 in the
previous fiscal year.

end-the most eminent devising means
to make the rich law evader disgorge,
while the more quiet practitioners
hope and pray they may escape him
altogether.
What has the man done? Initiated
another wealthy man of history-onel
Ananias. He kept back-so it is al,
leged-the amount of wealth at his
command and thus deceived the tax
gatherers.
1t was told in the papers how that,
as guardian for his son Frederick and
administrator of his wife's estate, he
evaded the law and the payment of
the full tax by declaring the amount of
the personal property to be only $780,,
900, the amount it is claimed the stocks
and securities alone are worth.
1t is a curious story from the be-
ginning Years ago, when White
wanted to marry Miss Trowbridge, a
rich girl in the state of Connecticut,
she fancied he had at least one eye
fixed on her money. To convince her,
he signed a paper, renouncing forever
all claims to her wealth. Later they
moved into the brown stone house at
No 1876 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn.
His friends claim that he was a gifted,
brilliant man, and made a fortune.
Others say it was his wife's money
alone that figured in business and So
ciety
Three children were born to them.
Frederick, the surviving son, is about
fourteen years old, a loyal lad, of
genial disposition, who is said to be
fond of his father and a household
pet He is very fat boy, weighing
nearly two hundred pounds. When
the mother died, few years ago. her
property went to this son. His father
was both guardian and administrator
by law. Legal investigation showed
that the $4,000 personal property, as
scheduled by the father, was worth
