Farmers VIII Take a Hand.

The Baltimore American claims to have
positive information that the farmers of
the United States are completing an or
ganization for the purpose of forming a
vast trust. Quoting an authority who fol-
lows closely all movements pertaining to
the welfare of the agricultural population,
and generally attends the meetings of the
state grange, it says "ln nearly every
county in the state farmers oranges are
now established. The grange is to be
made the nucleus of the vast organization
which will within very short time appear
under a new name before the public. Or
ganizers are already out through Mary
land, Pennsylvania and the Nirgnias and
in the West, getting together the best men
among the farmers in each county to un-
dertake the great work of organizing a gi-
gantic agricultural trust, which will put
the farmers on a footing to hold their own.
With thorough organization and intelligent
direction, the farmers trust will regulate
the production of grain, fruit and vegeta-
bles as wei as the production of cattle,
and in fact. everything that comes off the
farm. The organization will be established
in every state of the Union and in the ter
ritories before many weeks"

DEWEY COMING HOME,
The Admiral Left Manila Last
Saturday Afternoon on the
Olympia.

A Royal Send-of Given Him by the Re
naming ships OF the Fleet and by
Merchant Vessels and FOrts---IIe VIII
Come TO Ills Home in Montpelier.
The United States cruiser Olympia steam
ed out of Manila bay homeward bound Sat
urday afternoon, having on board Admiral
Dewey. AS she passed down the harbor
an admirals salute was fired by the Oregon,
Baltimore and Concord. At the sound of
the shots the band on board the flagship
struck up lively air and the home-going
sailors gave tremendous cheer. As the
Olympia passed the Oregon the crew of the
battleship gave three times three for the
Olympians who responded by throwing
their caps so high into the air that many of
them were left floating in the waters of
the bay. The half hour which followed
was the noisiest known in Manila bay
since the battle whose name is linked with
that of Dewey.
The din of guns and bands echoed through
the smoke, a fleet of steam launches Shrek
ed their whistles, the musicians of the Bal
timore played Home, Sweet Home" her
flags signalled "good-by," and those of the
Oregon said pleasant voyage" The
merchant vessels dipped their flags, the
women on the decks of the vessels of the
fleet waved their handkerchefs, and the
great black British cruiser Powerful,
which Law the furtherest out saluted the
Olympia. The latter's band then played God
Save the Queen" and to this the crew of
the Powerful responded with hearty cheers
for the Olympia The last music heard from
Admiral Dewey's ship was Aud Lang
| Syne," while the guns from the forts at
| Cavite and from the Monterey, on guard
| off Paranaque, too far to be audible, pulled
white clouds of smoke. The Olympia was
disappearing past Corregidor island, when
a battery before the walled city spoke
Manila's last word of farewell
| Admiral Dewey sat on the deck of the
| Olympia and received the farewells of his
friends during most of the day. The
launch of Maj Gen. Otis was the first to
arrive alongside the cruiser at Z O'Clock
Saturday morning, and afterward the
| Admiral called upon the ma jor-general
and the United States Philippine commits
sioners Admiral Dewey is enthusiastic
over his homecoming, but when mention
was made of the welcome to be extended to
him he said he appreciated the friendship
| of his countrymen deeply, but hoped they
would not be too demonstrative. He in
tends to come to his home at Montpelier,
and live there.
On it being said that people wanted him
to go home by way of San Francisco and
across the continent, the admiral replied
"lf was 20 years younger, and had politi-
cal ambitions, l would not miss that
chance" Speaking of the situation, Ad-
miral Dewey said: 81 believe we are near
the end The insurgents are fast going tc
pieces. The sending of a third commission
shows that they believe this commission
means business" Capt. Walker of the
Concord, the last of the commanders in
battle at Manila, went to the Admiral and
said, Don't leave me behind" So he wa:
relieved and is coming home ON the Olym
pia.

Progress of Yukon Hallway.

r. p. Eliot, mine owner of Dawson,

gold fields of the Klondike. He is full of
enthusiasm over the new country. He
said; 1.-THE Yukon and White Pass rail
way is completed from Skaguay to the sum-
init of the pass, a distance of about Is
miles, and for a distance of 10 miles farther
the roadbed is ready for rails. By July 4
the management expected to have the
trains running between Skaguay and Ben
nett, where the passengers can take a
steamer to White Horse rapids, thence by
the tramway around the rapids, about four
miles in length, to the other side, where he

Big American Liner strikes an Guilty.
ing Ledge of the NIanacles Near Fall
mouth. Eng. --- Passengers Taken
Ashore with Little Trouble.
The American line steamer Paris, from
Southampton and Cherbourg to New York,
ran ashore on an outlying ledge of the
Manacles near Falmouth, Eng, early Sun
day morning about mile from the wreck
of the Inflated Nlohegan. The steamer left
Cherbourg late Saturday afternoon having
on board about $50 passengers. During
the evening dense fog arose, and it was
i'll this fog and at high tide that she struck
the reef. From the first there was no dan
ger. Lifeboats and tugs were at the yes
sells side a short time after the accident &C.
CURED, and the passengers were taken to
Falmouth, where they obtained lodging for
the night.
The first intimation of the vessels strik-
ing the rocks was a slight grating sound,
which was followed by a second and more
pronounced shock. The lookout shouted
that there was something looming ahead,
but before there was time to reverse the
engines the ship had gone on the rocks,
200 yards from the shore. Assistance was
summoned by means of rockets and the
coast guards promptly telephoned to the
life-saving station for boats A majority
of the passengers were not aware that an
accident had happened until they were
called up by the stewards. On reaching
the deck they found the ships boats in per-
feet readiness for their reception. The
sea was perfectly calm, and the only dis
comfort that the passengers experienced
was caused by the slight rain that was fall
ing. Owing to the calmness of the sea the
boats could be managed with entire safety.
The cargo of the Paris was removed Sun
day and Monday with the hope that the
vessel, thus lightened, would float, but it
was found that she was fast upon the rocks.
An immediate effort will be made to float
the big liner, however, as she is in dan
gerous position in case of storm. The
passengers are on their way to this country
on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse which
sailed from Southampton Wednesday.

more than 70 years old and once belle in
society, was taken to the poorhouse Satur-

ed the young widow into marrying him.

of William H. Cox and in a few months
Mrs Thomson became Mrs. Cox. There

they returned the husband prevailed upon
his wife to mortgage all her property in
this city for 100000 He then secured the
money and deserted her. Cox went to

A despatch from Diaz, Mex, says that
there is great excitement in the town of
San Dialo, 10 miles from Diaz, over the
lynching of seven colored laborers on the
Mexican Central railroad, Jose Santo, a
Spanish negro, attempted to assault the
wife of Senior Duply, ranch owner. Es-
Gaping from the plantation he was tracked
by bloodhounds, and in company with nine
others, was captured in hut on the river
bank opposite Eagle pass. The regulators
did not attempt to prove the guilt of any
of the negroes, but hung three of them
and shot four more who were attempting
to escape. Four of the negroes killed were
Americans, and all had served sentences in

You Can't
Dodge Them

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops ? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try 10 escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about us
on every hand and we are con-
stantly taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease ? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold in a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be well supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body is thin. If your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you
should not delay another day.

The startling discovery was made at
Santiago de Cuba Sunday that the famous
shrine of Nuestra Sonora Carload at Ell
Cobre had been robbed of jewels valued
at $25, 900, and that the head of the statue
had been broken off and removed. The
report caused great excitement in the town
where the shrine has long been the princi-
pal attraction. 1t is supposed to have mi
raculous healing powers, and is visited an
nually by thousands of pilgrims from all
parts of Cuba, from Mexico and even from
Europe, who have loaded the image with
rich gifts. The secret police are making
great efforts to discover the perpetrator of
the outrage.
