THEY ARE STARVING.
A Thrilling Appeal for the Porto Ricans

A Thrilling appeal for the Porto Rlcans
bv MRS Guy V. Henry
Mrs. Guy V. Henry, wife of Gen.
Henry, United States Army, who was
with her husband in Porto Rico, during
the time he served as military governor
of that island, addressed large meeting
of down town business men in New
York last week, Cuisines is at a
staIdstiIl in that island" said Mrs.
Henry, "and the people are very poor.
The sugar mills have no one in them
except half dozen people. The women
are poor and idle. There is no work
for them to do. There were many wo-
men n Porto Rico who were supported
by pensions from the Spanish government
That has been taken away from them
and there is much poverty in Porto
Rico.
1.-The question now is: What shall we
do with our new colonies? Send them,
say. our very best. Let US not look t.
Great Britain to see what she has done
in India. Let US act as a country foI
ourselves. Let us send the very best OF
everything that We can give, the best of
every profession, the best OF everything
in commercial sense. I want to say to
YOU that we must DO this work at once
that it can be done by putting our
shoulders To the Wheel the same as the
Aid SLciety down in San Juan.

CROPS In BAD SHAPE.
The Hot Sun Has Played Havoc With Cot
ton. Corn Has suffered Badly.

Many reports received at the 1epart-
ment of agriculture show that
throughout all sections of the state
corn and cotton are suffering because
there has been no rain. State Ento>
m0logist Scott says:
"The sun has practically sealed the
fate of the cotton crop in the state, for
the intensity of the rays has rushed
the plant to maturity long before the
average growth has been attained"
Mr.. Scott noticed that in many of
the fields cotton had attained what is
called the stunted growth and that
further growth was impossible now,
even though the best seasons were to
prevail.

NEGROES BACK FROM AFRICA.
SAY THEY FOCND LIBERIA WORSE
THAN SAHARA DESERT.
We're Looked Down Upon, and Had
No Chance to Earn a LIY-
ing There.

The Baltimore Sun prints the follow
ing dispatch from Boston;
Partly as result of fear on account
of the alleged prosecutions by the
south. and partly from spirit of ad-
venture, Cate Shack and Harley Kirt~
lev, both colOred, recently got their
families together and set sail for Ii
IBERIA. They gathered together all the
money they could, went to England,
and there took boat to Liberia.
But the supposed Paradise of the col
ored man in Africa, according TO their
story of their experiences, was worse
than the desert of Sahara. The recep-
ton they got surprised them. Instead
of being welcomed with open arms and
offered plenty of work, they were look
ed down upon, and, although willing
to earn their bread, they were refused
a chance.
Thew have returned to Boston. They
say the negro has absolutely no chance
to earn living in Liberia. All the
wealth of the country is in the hands
of few PERSONS Though Shack and
Kirtley were expert farmers, they
were not given any kind of farm
work.
Broken-h hearted and respondent, the
men Of the families appealed to the
captain of an Elder Dempster Line
steamer to give them passage to Eng
land. They told him of the trials and
sufferings they endured. They said
they had spent what money they had,
the savings of almost a lifetime, and
that they were willing to do anything
on the ship If they could get passage
TO England.
The kind-hearted captain believed
their story, and they were taken to
England. At Bristol, England, they
found Captain z. A. Evans of the
steamer Etolia, AMI he brought the
party to Boston.

The Feeding stun. 1nspsct,on Law.

The farmers of Vermont pay something
over 50, 600, 900 year for grain feeds for
their live stock. Over so per cent of this
sum is paid for corn, oats and the wheat
offals, which are of fairly uniform COM
position. Several hundred thousands are
spent, however, for the by-products of sun
dry manufacturing processes, such as cot
tonseed and linseed meal, gluten and oat
feeds, etc, which are more or less variable
in composition, and open to adulteration.
These materials sometimes bear misleading
names, and their selling prices often have
no relation to their value as feeds.
These conditions, among others, have led
to the passage in practically all of the
northeastern states of law known as the
feeding-stutfs inspection law. Such law
was passed at the last session of the legis-
lature in Vermont. 1t places the sampling
and analysis of these feeds in the hands of
the experiment station, which publishes
the result of its inspection work from time
to time. The law requires the wholesaler
to state upon each package his name and
address, the brand, weight, percentages of
protein and fat that the goods are guaran-
teed to contain. A tax of 10 cents a ton
is laid by the law upon all cotton-seed, lin
seed and gluten meals and feeds, corn and
oat chops and feeds and prov
enders other than pure grains ground to-
gether. The law took effect on July last
All bags of the materials described above
should now bear a green tag certifying to
the payment of the inspection tax, and the
sale of any and all goods of this class not
carrying this tag is illegal.

Admiral Dewey's flagship, the Olympia,
was built at the Union Iron works, San
Francisco, the same yards where the Ore
gon was built. Her keel was laid in June,
1891, and she was launched on November
5, 1892; completed April 1, 1898, and first
commissioned February 8, 1895. She is a
SECOND class armored cruiser, carrying ar
NOR varying from IL to 4 1-2 inches In
thickness. Her main battery consists Of
ten five-inch rapid fire guns and four eight
inch breech loading rifles mounted in tur-
rets, and her secondary battery comprises
Ia rapid fire six-pounders, seven rapid fire
one-pounders, two Colts and one field gun.
She also carries six Whitehead torpedoes.
Her displacement is $50 tons, and she
requires "a officers and 416 men. Her hull
and machinery cost $1,796,000. She was
first sent on several short cruises, and then
was attached to the Asiatic station.
In May, 1898, her name became known
the world over through the battle of Ma
Mia bay. In that fight she was commanded
by Capt. Charles Vernon Gridley, who
later, on his way home on sick leave, died
at Yokohama, Japan. The death Of Capt.
Gridley, who bore an honored and import
ant part in that battle, was due to the ner-
vous shock sustained during the fight. II
was one of the fortunes of war that at a
moment when Capt. Gridley was in the
coming tower of the ship this mass Of ar
NOR plate was struck by one of the enemy's
proiectiles, and Capt. Gridley never recov-
cred from the effects of the conclusion.
