the InformntIon incorrect.


Williamsburg. Va. February 10, 1898.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In your issue of the 18th instant we
note a statement said 10 have been made
by the president Of William and Mary
College 10 the effect that owing 20 the
excitement incident TO the report OF the
Committee on Retrenchment and Reform,
recommending a withdrawal Of State
support from the college, the Peninsula
Bank had refused 10 make loans on real
estate I'm this city; and we beg 10 say
that Mr.. Tyler's informant Is entirely
mistaken on this point.
While we duly appreciate the value OF
the college to this entire community.
and earnestly hope its appropriation may
not be even reduced, still the incident re-
ferred 20 did not In any manner affect our
securities, nor aid we for that reason de-
cline any applications. We endeavor TO
make our loans on such basis that they
will be safe. even under emergencies, and
we think we have done so. That Mr.. Ty-
Ter thought the statement was correct We
DO not. OF course, question.

TWO PROSPERITY ITEnS.
Prosperity I'm Delaware.

The cry for food has been going up
from the families of the 600 idle iron
workers for weeks is becoming louder
every moment. The situation is so
alarming that the Rev. F. NJ. Munson,
rector of the Episcopal church, has APP
pealed from the pulpit for subscrip-
tions to buy food and fuel for the suf-
ferers.
A special commission has investi-
gated the situation by entering the
homes of the sufferers to ascertain
their condition. In one block in Clay
ton street in the extreme western sec
ton of the town six families were
found on the verge of starvation.
A woman was found who had been
feeding her three children on the peel
ings of potatoes found in the alley.
Fifty families have left the town in
the past week to escape starvation.
Several storekeepers are on the verge
of bankruptcy. Eighteen hundred
persons in the town are suffering from
the lack of food and fuel.-Newcastle

Wanted the Kansas Article.

A unique and interesting item is
told in connection with Kansas but
ter, especially along with the fact
that Minnesot butter won the highest
honors at the National Creamery But
termakers' convention at Topeka. A
formerly prominent Kansau, whose
business now requires him to live III
Minnesota, two weeks ago wrote to
Secretary Coburn of the State Board
of Agriculture, that he had found no
butter in Minnesota that suited his
taste so we'll as the Kansas article,
and he wished Mr.. Coburn to buy the
tub of Kansas butter scoring highest
at the convention and ship it to him.
Mr.. Coburn went to Mr.. Irving
Mitchell, who bought the entire ex-
hibit, told him what the Kansas but
ter was wanted for and Mr.. Mitchell
at once made him present of it, and
it was forthwith shipped by express
to the hungry erstwhi1e Kansan,
whose appetite cannot be quite salts
fled with even the best of butter made
elsewhere. This tub was made by c.
j. Walker, of Maryvil1e, Marshall
county, and scored 961a in a possible
100.

New Plan.

Legislation goes wrong because
the people don't know what is going
on,' declares Gov. Pingree. eff the
people knew exactly what laws were
being passed and what their represen.
tatives had to say about the bills, SO
much fool and crooked legislation
would not be showed through in the
dark. Now am going to have four
stenogI aphers employed, taking down
all that is said at the special session,
and then have the speeches printed in
the house journal. I will call upon
the people to send for those journals
and read them carefully, so they can
see what their representative is doing.
If he can find any good reasons for
not voting for equal taxation it is only
right that his constituents shall know
of them, becauee we are going to get
them all on record this time''

A Hay Trust.

One of the largest trusts formed in
years has been organized by Chicago
men under the name of the American
Hay company. Although the incor-
poration is under Michigan laws, the
headquarters will be in Chicago. The
organization, when completed, will in
clude more than 100 of the largest
buyers and shippers of hay i'll the
states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan. The capital stock is S.
600, 900. A tract of land near Buffalo
is to be purchased as site for an i'm
mense warehouse. Buffalo is selected
as the place for the warehouse because
the bulk OF the hay to be handled will
be marketed in New England. F. w.
Lope, president of the Allen Line
company of Chicago, is the originator
of the scheme.
