SOME FAMOUS MUTINIES.
Notable Instructions That Have oc-
Cured in the British Navy.
From Tit Bits.


| From Tit-Bts.
For reasons which will at once sug
gcst themselves to every intelligent
reader, mutinies in the navy have al
most invariably been more serious and
determined affairs than similar out
breaks happening in the sister service.
Almost everybody has heard of the
mutiny at the More, which blocked up
the trade of the Thames from May 81
until June T., 1897, and left practically
| the whole of our southern seaboard to
| the mercy of an alien foe. This was
undoubtedly the most serious outbreak
that has ever taken place in our own,
| or, for that matter in any other navy.
| The mutineers seized their officers,
| trained the forward guns aft. hoisted
| the red flag on the admirals ship.
double shotted the broadside cannons,
| and told off men with lighted matches
at every portfolio. AT the same time,
| however discipline was strictly en-
| forced
Eventually, of course, the mutiny
was suppressed. and the ringleader
! Parker, suffered death by hanging
with twenty-five of his companions. No
one can. of course, offer any excuse for
the violent conduct of these misguided
men. Nevertheless it is impossible to
deny that they had a genuine griev-
ance, that repeated petitions for re-
dress had been cOntemptuously ig-
! nOred. and that from the date of their
execution the status and treatment of
Jack Tar underwent marked change
for the better.
In 1901 the mutiny of the Bantry Bay
squadron gave rise to the widest ap-
| prehenson. The Temeraire led the
outbreak, the men threatening, unless
| their demands We're complied with, to
! tire the ship, and murder their officers
Other vessels Joined in, notably the
/ Formidable, Majestic and Vengeance.
/ Luckily, the marines remained loyal
and by them, chiefly, the mutiny was
suppressed. Eleven men only were
executed for this affair, but the fog
Sings inflicted on the remainder were,
! in most cases, of such shocking Sc
verify that one would have thought
death itself would have been far pre-
ferable.
| Perhaps the best known and most
| dramatic of single ship mutinies were
those which broke out on the Bounty in
1889, and in the Danae frigate in 1900.
The facts connected with the first
! named incident are almost too well

say that the men, driven to madness

Chauncey olcott at the Lyceum.
The regular dramatic season at the
Lyceum closed last night with the pro-
duction of "A Romance of Athlone," in
which Chauncey Olcott is starring this
season. 1t is one of the modern Irish
romantic dramas that have been in
vogue for several seasons and has much
to recommend it to public favor. 1t has
a strong. well-defned plot, is hand
somely costumed and staged, and Mr..
Olcott has the support of a very COM
petent company and a dog.
During the course of the drama Mr..
Olcott sang MANY Years Ago" Wen
Drown 1t in a Bowl" "Olcott's Lula
by" The Irish Swell' and My wild
Irish Rose" all of which were enthusi-
astically encored. The audience that
saw the performance last night tested
the capacity of the house, and there
was also a large audience in the after
noon.

statistics, which has now developed into one of the most important branches of the departments work.
 In his report made in January, 1S4t, Commissioner Ellsworth stated that SO,00o packages of seeds had been dis tributed during the year and that az riculturaI statistics. as gathered in the census, were being prepared for publ- cation. In 1s42 these statistics were published, with a survey of crop con- ditions and prospects. Progress in az ricultural science was reviewed and special notice was made of the manu- facture of sugar from Indian corn and the use of l~~5 oil in place of whale oil for lighting.
 From this sime on to the date of the organization uf an Independent depart ment the work progressed slowly. The distribution o} seeds and plants was kept up, Ms was also the gathering of agricultural statistics, but inadequate appropriations by congress prevented any elaboration of the work of the di- vision. For long time no clerk was assigned regularly to the agricultural division, the work being performed by such as had the time saved from other duties F. c. Skinner is the first man whose name appears on the pay roll as distinctly connected with the division, This gentleman was the publisher of the Farmers Almanac at Baltimore, and he was employed at a salary of $1.- 500 year as collector of agricultural statistics. By the time an independent division was formed the pay roll had grown t6NS10,0oo per annum.
 Interest in the birth of the agricul- tural department as separate branch of the government was buried beneath the absorbing interest in the civil war. The law authorizing the organization of such department was approved by President Lincoln May 15, 1862. This law authorized the appointment of commissioner Of agriculture. but did not make it an executive office of the first rank. The commissioner was to receive salary of S3,000 per annum, and chief clerk was to receive $2 900 per annum. The chief clerk was to act as the commissioner in the absence of his chief. and no assistant commission CT was provided for.
 Under that law President Lincoln appointed Hon. Isaac Newton, of Penn sylvania, as the first commissioner. Commissioner Newton had, previous to this appointment, been serving as chief of the division while it was connected

 The average soldier or sailor find their greatest comfort in smoking, and the cigarette is preferable to either pipe or cigar among the soldiers for the reason given above.
 This increase in cigarette smoking has followed in the wake of a war ln England as in America since the cigar cite has become common. Ar English writer in commenting on the same sub feet recently said:
 ssThe practice of cigarette smoking has developed in this country almost entirely since the Crimean war. Up to that time Britons had regarded the cigarette as a finicking toy of the for. eigner. whose deft and ready skill in the rolling up of the little wisp of to- bacco came naturally to the effeminate races of the continent and the east. but was altogether unworthy of the emula- ton of our insular manhood. The Briton smoked his pipe, and. il he could afford it, his cigar; but the cigarette n the lips of the dusky stranger ne re garded with eontemptuous amusement.
 "When, however. British officers went out to that memorable struggle in the Crimea among a good many other privations and hardships they had to endure was for long time an inability to get their customary supply of cigars. and, as the best substitute within their reach, tkeF took to the cigarette so generally in use among their French and Turkish allies. When the war was overs such Of them as sur viYed it came home skillful maniFu= lators of the little slips of paper. and confirmed cigarette smokers. What the officers Of the army did could nos of course. be beneath the dignity of our young civilian dapdies. and the thing became fashionable to a limited extent; and to roll a cigarette with graceful ease became q coveted accom- plisbmeHt.a

yelop the agricultural resources of the country, and Commissioner Capron was selected as the principal adviser for this commission, 10 accept which he re- signed on June 27, 1871,
 President Grant appointed Judge Frederick Watts of Pennsylvania, to fill the vacancy caused by resignation of Commissioner Capron. The new commissioners title of judge came from his having been on the bench in the district court in Pennsylvania, but he had quit the practice of law for what he considered the more eongenial occupation of farming in 1858. The new commissioner was especially interested in the timber interest of the country, and through his efforts the division of forestry was established several years later. As a step in this direction he had prepared and on exhibition sections of the most valuable trees ii the country. It was during the administration of Commissioner Watts that the grass hopper rayages in the west caused such destruction, and the department sent out $30,00o worth of seeds to the farm CTS in the devastated districts It was under his administration that the di- vision of microscopy was organized, now one of the most valuable of all the divisions of the department.
 Hon. William G. Le Due was the next commissioner, being appointed by President Hayes July l, 1877. During his entire term an investigation of ami maj diseases was kept up which re- suited in much good to the entire agri- cultural interests of the country. The production of sugar from both sorghum and beets was given much attention, and many satisfactory experiments were mede. He was a firm believer in the successful cultivation of tea, cof- fee, olive and date palms and distribut- ed many seeds and cuttings of these to southern farmers.
 President Garfield appointed Dr. George E. Loring, of Massachusetts, commissioner of agriculture in 1ss1 During his administration the bureau of animal industry was established, and congress appropriated S150,0O0 to prosecute the crusade against pleuro- pneumonia and other diseases. The control of quarantine against diseased animals was transferred from the treasury to the agricultural depart ment; the United States chronological commission was transferred from the interior to the agricultural depart fment, and the publication of traLspor-

tation rates was begun in the monthly reports of the department by the direc- tion of congress,
 Commissioner Loring was succeeded by Hon. Norman J. Coman, of Mis- souri, who began his administration as commissioner and ended it as secre- tary of agriculture in President CleYe- lands cabinet, the department having been raised to an. executive office of the first rank February II, 1889. Dur ing his administration the divisions of pomology, ornithology and nam malogy were established as was also a section of vegetable pathology in the division of botany. The work of the department was otherwise enlarged by the establishment of a station at Au- rora. Ill.,, for the study cf apiculture and the establishment at Philadelphia and New Orleans of reeling-rooms for the purpose of experimenting with the question of reeling silk from the cocoons. The latter were discontinued at the end of year. Scientific investi- gation of counterfeit butter was pushed until the difference between the real and the counterfeit was discovered. The work of the bureau of animal in. dustry was enlarged and total of nearly $50g00O expended in this di- vision alone.
 The new standing of the department made Il change in it's administration necessary at least with each change of president. When President Harrison was iuaugurated he announced as his secretary Of agriculture Hon. Jeremiah NJ Rusk. of Wisconsin. Upon taking control of the department Secretary Rusk immediately began the work of reorganization. He organized it into two principal divisions, the executive under the immediate control of the sec retary. and the scientific, under the con trol of the assistant secretary. Under his administration the division of pub Iieations was establishedi he estab- lished special agents in Europe for the investigation of the markets of that continent. and also department for the inspection Of American cattle abroad. and located inspectors in Great Britain, so that the reports of disease of American cattle arriving in that country might be checked The cattle quarters of all vessels engaged in. the cattle trade were placed under the su- peryision of the department by bilI passed in congress. the results of which
