WEIGHT or CORN AND FODDER
The weight Of grain from an acre oi
corn is about the same as the weight oi
the cured fodder. Forty bushels Of
corn weighs about a long ton, and the
weight of the fodder will be nearly the
same. There may be variations some
times but one can estimate very close
to the weight of the cured fodder by
arriving at knowledge Of the num-
ber of bushels of corn from each acre.

PRINCIPAL GRAVES.

The Hartford Courant says in an edi-
torial note concerning the late J. A.
Graves, a former New Haven school
principal, who was greatly esteemed
For eighteen years Joseph A. Graves
had been principal of the South school.
His death is public calamity as well as
cause for private grief He had man
aged admirably the large work intrusted
to him, and, through the example of his
manly life, had exerted large influence
for good upon the many young people
who looked up to him as their guide. He
was an enthusiastic teacher and edu-
Gator, but that was only a part of his
well-rounded life of a Christian gentle
man. Mr.. Graves was good citizen.
Occupying a position where being com
PEELED to take sides might have its per-,
sonal embarrassments, he did not avoid
the duties and responsibilities of eiti-
zenship He attended caucuses, and,
when he was wanted as a delegate or
member of the council, he answered to
the call. He was not of the larger class
of good people" who stay at home and
complain of the condition of politics.
He took his part, voted as he thought
right and did not consult policy or stand
intimidation. He had the interests of
the city at heart and did much during
his career for it's improvement. Boys
and girls of to-day will be better men
and women for the reason that In their
childhood they came under his infiu-
ence. He will long be gratefully re-
membered and his good work will live
after him.

M. Delcasse's Russian Trip-Rumored
Matters to be Discussed The French
Russian Relations,

Paris, Aug. 2.-M. Delcasse, the min
lister of foreign affairs, started for st.
petersburg this afternoon, to return the
visit of Count Muraveff, the Russian
minister of foreign affairs. 1t is re-
ported that M. Delcasse proposes also
TO arrange the details of the czar's visit
to the Paris exhibition of 1900, and the
newspapers here intimate that the
French foreign minister may raise the
question of continental action in the
event of Great Britain declaring war
against the Transvaal.
There Is no truth in the statement
published by New York newspaper
to-day that strained relations exist be-
tween Russia and France, owing to
President Loubet having failed to tele-
graph to the car his condolences on the
death of the tsesarevitch. The presi-
dent did telegraph expressions of sym
pathy to the car upon the occasion re-
ferred to, and also sent a wreath to be
deposited on the tomb Of the tsesare-
witch.

Concerning John ]. Penrose Of Gem
trail Village, in the town of Plainfleld
who died in New York Saturday, where
he had been for several months for
medical treatment and whose funeral
services were held at Central Village
Tuesday, the burial being in the Ever
green cemetery of that place, the Hart
ford Courant says: until two years
ago Mr.. Penrose was a prominent fig
ure in Windham county, both at the
bar and in politics, for nearly forty
years. He was born in the state of
New York December IL, 1921 His father
died when he was a small boy and at
the age of eight years he came to this
state. After completing his education
he studied law with Governor Chauncey
Cleveland of Hampton and was admit
ted to the bar in 1S43. He practiced law
for two years in Hampton and then re-
moved to Central Village and continued
the practice of his profession until
about 1892 when the infirmities of age
compelled him to retire from active
practice He was the states attorney
for Windham county for twenty years,
being succeeded by the present states
attorney, John L. Hunter, and in 1853
he was the town clerk of the town of
Plainfield. He was presidential elector
in 1860 on the Douglas democratic
ticket. For many years he was trus-
tee Of the Windham County Savings
bank He was man of strong convic-
tons, a critical examiner and an elo-
quent and convincing pleader. He

Kate Penrose, and son, John G. Pen
rose. who is a law student"
The Norwich Bulletin says in speak
ing of the deceased: THE death of
John j. Penrose removes one Of the
coterie of lawyers that made the reputa-
ton of the Windham county bar over
forty years ago. At that time it was
composed of Governor c. r. Cleveland
of Hampton, Daniel P. Tyler, Jonathan
Welch and Uriel Fuller of Brooklyn,
Abel Converse and Thomas Backus of
Killingly, John J. Penrose of Central
Village and Harrison Johnson of Put
nam. The only one now living is Abel

THE MONTREAL BANK FLURRY.
81 q,

The Run Quoted Tuesday, But Renew
ed for Time Yesterday.
Montreal Aug. 2.-Matters in connec-
ton with the run on the Banque d'Ho-
cheloga quieted down very perceptibly
by the close of banking hours yesterday
afternoon, owing principally to the
amount of money paid out by the bank
and the assistance rendered by the Bank
of Montreal on excellent securities. An
other factor which tended much to allay
the excitement of the French Canadian
people was the following open letter
from Archbishop Bruchesi of Montreal:
Following an interview which have
had with several important men of Mon
treal, and, at their request, think it my
duty to make an appeal to all who have
money in our banks not to allow them
selves to be panic stricken by the dis
asters of the past few days. | speak
now in the interests Of the whole people.
A run on our banks at the present mo-
ment can have but the most deplorable
consequences, for these institutions
themselves. for the depositors and for
the whole country. | entreat the public
to remain calm. The archbishop Will
set them the example. The panic will
go by, and our banks, | have not the
least doubt will honor all their obliga-
tons
The directors of the Bandue d'1o-
cheloga made the offer to keep their
building open all night should the run
continue. The run on the Banque Ma
tionale has almost stopped, the authori-
ties declaring that they are able to meet
all their liabilities.
The run on the Hochelga bank was
continued vigorously this morning, but
the extra clerks in attendance paid all
demands. A great pile of American
gold eagles and half-eagles lay on the
teller's desk, and these were paid out to
depositors. The run dwindled down
perceptibly towards the noon hour, and
now it may be said to be virtually over.
The bank has many correspondents in
New York, and one Of them telegraphed
as follows: Call upon us for any
amount you are in need Of" The Bank
of British North America also offered
assistance 1T needed.
The Banque Rationale has so far been
able to meet all obligations.
