| Mr.. EDITOR 1t was with pleasure
read the editorial in your last issue. 1t is
full Of truth, wisdom and good advice. II
| you will now follow up the start you have
made in your valuable paper it can have hut
one ending-succesS.
Ours is the best country in almost every
respect, that have visited, and indeed
think that we should now wake up and
begin to take the position in the world to
which we are entitled
Mr.. Editor, l would suggest that you
call meeting of ten men, property own
ers of the town, have them come together,
form the Improvement Society" you sug-
gest, talk over the different interests of
our community. and we will find we all
want to reach the same end-HnpI oremen'
aud EfpGnSjrn. Do not let us think it
will take any amount of cash from the
several individuals, for it will not Many
capitalists stand ready to render assis-
lance.
We have two examples of this fact ::
Much foreign capital is invested i'll both
the FAIR Association and in the Bank.
With our late friends, Messrs. John W.
Belt and l. S. Wilson, canvassed Balti-
more and Washington to sell stock for
the Fair Association We were met in a
most cordial manner by business men of
all classes. They paid the highest tributes
to our section of Maryland, and were
unanimous in the advice to start industries
in our midst, and many volunteered to
contribute to local industries. l think at
least half Of the stock in the Fair Associ-
alton is held by Baltimore and Washing
ton men, although our committee faith
fully promised mo dividends"
Hence judging the future by the past |
feel confidant we would secure much
financial aid and encouragement in such
industries as we may select.
Now as we have acres and acres of good
land in our midst going to waste, why not
get together and start some one or two III
dustries and form good home market for
our farm products, furnish employment to
our people, giving them more work and
putting more money in circulation. Our
sister towns of Laurel and Rockville are
examples Of what energy can do. They
have one railroad, we have two; their
lands are not as fertile as ours, nor are they
as near good markets. Besides these two
railroads a steam boat could easily come
to Hills Landing on the PatuNent.
Make continuous your appeals ask the
pahlic to ,in ouandeXprcss their views
and call Il meeting for an Improvement
Society"

The PatuXent Planters Club.

The beautiful home of Mr.. Francis W.
Hill was the scene of very pleasant
meeting of this Club on Tuesday last. The
hour for assembling during the winter
m ,..tn, has been fixed at noon. Most of
the guests arrived promptly and an in
spection of the hosts fine estate was made,
Messrs. F. M. Hall and Eugene Roberts

terms to the hosts wheat and tobacco
crops. and the general condition of his
premises
The business meeting was not concluded
when temporary adjournment was asked
to enable the guests to partake of an ele
g.nt dinner which reflected, in every ap-
pointment, the skill of the accomplished
hostess.
Upon reassembling the club listened to
an interesting essay by the host on Farm
ing for Profit in which he advocated a
diversity of crops and attention to details
as contributing to success.
Among other questions discussed was
the loss in farm crops, especially corn,
from shrinkage, and incidentally as to the
best time for marketing
whether it is better to SOW Orchard
Grass in the Spring or Autumn" was an
other query, which Mr.. w. W. Roberts
answered by saying that he had always
met with better success from the Spring
seeding.
The report of the committee appointed
to prepare rules. for the next contest by
members of the Club was made by Mr.
Francis w. Hill, the chaiimln. The rules
will not be formally adopted until the next
meeting, but it was determined that the
scope of next years exhibits shall be con
fined to four kinds of farm products, four
kinds of garden vegetables and fom vari-
cites of fruit, and that in making the award
the quality of products shall be reckoned
at - points, the quantity 90 points and

 Paris, Feb. 20-The trial of M. Zola and the publisher of the Aurore is re- garded as practically ended; and M. Zola's conviction Is looked upon as a foregone conclusion. Public feeling against the Jews is so overwhelming that any other result is almost impossi- ble.
 Two thousand people assembled this afternoon in front of the St. Pelagie prison, (well known as prison for of-S lending journalists), to greet M. Henry Rochefort, editor of the Intrasigant, on entering to serve a sentence of five days Imprisonment for labelling M. Joseph Relmach, conservative deputy for the district of Digne and editor of the Republique Francaise, by charging him with intending to prove the inno- cence of Alfred Dreyfus by the use of forged documents At first there were no signs of force to preserve order, but as the crowd increased, a company of republican guards, headed by buglers and drummers, a detachment of police and two squadrons of cuirassiers were drawn up on each side the suare in front of the prison. The troops were received with cries of "Vive IArme.''' It was 4 o'clock before M. Rochefort arrived. The crowd focked around his carriage shouting 'Vive Rochefort'' and "Vive la Commune the police be- ing powerless to restrain them. M. Rochefort alighted waving his hand kerchief and escorted by the people, walked to the prison gates. About fifty of his friends, including M.

Intimation That Cuban Junta Members

May be "Bought Up."
 Havana, via Key Vest, Fla, Feb. 20.-Senor Jose Congosto. the secretary general, is said to have asserted in a private interview, that the government expected to be able to "buy up" sever al members of the New York junta. It is generally believed, however, that the statement was made in order to quiet discontentment here arising from the military failures of General Blanco and General Pando in the east. Sonora Is-. abelle Rubia, owner of many tobacco estates in the eastern part of the island and an active insurgent, has been cap- tured by the Spanish in the province of Pinar del Rio and Is now in the hospi- tai. At the time of the Maceo incur sion, she induced half the province to join the insurgent cause. Rumors have reached here of the landing of import ant expeditions near the River Maria mao, this province. but as yet the name of the vessel or the leader of the party is undisclosed.

SECRET COMPACT.
Russia to Sell France to Germany for Cer-
 tain Information.

London, Feb. 21.-The Daily Tele- graph this morning publishes an alleg- ed explanation of the Dreyfus minis try. According to this explanation a' secret compact between Russia and Germany existed before the Franco Prussian alliance was arranged. Under it's terms Russia undertook to supply Germany with all the information ob- tainable by spies or otherwise regard-s ing French military affairs, Germany supplying Russia in return with infor- nation concerning another power, pre- sumably Austria Hungary. Dreyfus discovered and traded upon this com pact. Whether the bordereau was written by him or not, it was merely the ostensible basis of the indictment against him. The real secret document referred to compact, the revelation of which would have imperrilled the Russian alliance The same motives of secrecy, says the Daily Telegraph's in- formant, will compel the different gov- ernments to deny the truth of this in-' formation, which is, nevertheless, cor-' rect.
