The Rush for Sheep.

to rush pell mell into sheep husbandry
 on the hypothesis that it will make
 them rich in few years. It is safe to
 say that some now entering upon the
 business of sheep raising will get out
 of it with much less money than they
 have now. While it is true that there are better opportunities now than for
 many years, the chances favor men who
 know the business and will give it their
 personal attention and prudent, econ Omical and intelligent supervision. There is no other class of stock raising that punishes blunder and mismanage- ment so promptly and inexorably. Many of us recall the fever of excite ment with which men went into sheep raising eighteen or twenty years ago. Many of these were men who knew nothing of life outside of cities. Many others, who had been raised in the country, knew nothing of handling sheep on the range. For year or so providence seemed to favor them and the ignorant and inexperienced found success. This fact built up the idea that experience was unnecessary. All sorts and classes of men bought sheep and turned them out on the vast ranges with herders as ignorant as themselves. In very few years the inevitable re- suit of ignorance and mismanagement came and hundreds of men were hope lessly wrecked. Now at this time we hope that profane history will not re- peat itself.

no SPY on THE HARVARD.

Newport News. Va. June (SpecaD-The
Harvard spy story is without foundation. An
officer from the Harvard stated 10 night 10 The
Tribune correspondent that the Spanish spy who
was detected on board the Brooklyn WAS not
sent on the scout ship 10 Fort Monroe. The
Harvard brought no prisoner OF war whatever
The report sent out from Fort Monroe
last night and later IL rumOrcd that the
Spaniard had been removed 10 n cell adjoining
that In which Jlmines IL confined. Inquiry nj
the fort to- night revealed the fact that only one
prisoner is under surveillance there. and the
statement OF an officer from the Harvard puts
an end 10 stories 10 the contrary.
This officer stated that the man. who may be
either a Spaniard or a Cuban but who passed for
the latter. put aboard the Harvard from the
Brooklyn and taken 10 Jamaica where he was
turned over 10 United States Consul Dent. who
had recommended him as a pilot 20 Commodore
Schley. That is the last the Harvard saw OF him.
although this officer understood that the man
had proved his good faith. and to he sent
