Raising Tobacco Under Cover.
Baltimore SUM

Tobacco is being raised under cover at
Tampa, Fla, and the experiment is a sue
cess. An acre or more of ground In Il
patch is covered with a framework ana
cheesecloth. They have a number Of
these patches, amounting to nine acres
under cultivation. The covering stands
ten feet above the ground. The cloth also
runs around the patches. 1t affords pro-
lection from heavy rains and from winds
tkat would injure the plants. AS 1t is
beautiful leaves for wrappers are raised
AS filler, the tobacco is also good, but
IL is particularly fine when used for wrap
pers. The advantage Of raising the plants
under cover is found in the excellent
colOring they take on. There is demand
for light wrappers, and this shade Is
taken on by the plants.

THE SPECULATIVE ERA.

Every revival of industry with it's at
tendant era of prosperity. which has
ever been experienced by the country
has been followed closely by period of
wild speculation. The present condf
tions are proving no exception to the
rule, although spectators are travelling
a new and unbeaten path. They are
confining their operation chiefly to
stocks and bonds. containing more or
less water and based on real or imag-
mary industrial enterprises.
Scarcely a day passes that does not
witness the formation of one or more OF
these gigantic schemes for the control
of certain lines of manufacture or COM
merce. Millions of stock are issued in
each case and put upon the market, to
be eagerly snapped up in many cases
by those who have money and are anx-
ious to get action on it.
In due course of time will come the
collapse which always follows when a
financial fabric is placed on stills and
many will be buried in the ruins. But
as long as speculation is confined to its
present lines the masses are not likely
to suffer much for the catastrophes
because they are not being led into
debt by it.
The trusts will go right along sup
plying the needs of the people and CIV
ing employment to labor and those on
the inside of the deals now being made
will pocket the results of the clean up.
There will be the usual number of
friendly receiverships and the army of
small stockholders will be squeezed out.
People with desire to get rich quick
ly have always been subject to such
financial epidemic as the one now pre-
vailing and perhaps they always will be
SO. 1t is not that they do not see
clearly but they always expect to get
out in time. But somebody must be
left.
ers, artizans, tradesmen and laborers
of the country are caught and over
whelmed when the crash comes. This
result seems improbable this time. 1t
Is harvest time for the promoter.

COLLINS LAST HOPE
Is to Have His Case Held Open Until
Next Term.

The future of the Collins murder case
seems to depend largely on the question
of finance.
Application was made to Judge Ha-
zen today, as a result of the conference
between the attorneys for the defense
and Mrs. Collins yesterday, to defer i'm
posing the death sentence on John Col
Inns and allow the case to stand open
until the next term of the district court
with the hope that Mrs. Collins would
be able to secure additional insurance
money. There is some of the insurance
money still unpaid, and in the event
this could be secured, and the case al
lowed to stand by Judge Hazen, an ap-
peal would be taken to the supreme
court.
Judge Hazen told the attorneys he
would take the matter under advise
ment and decide on the request in few
daYS.
