May Make Peace imperative.

BOSTON, March 22.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, was the principal
speaker at the peace meeting held in
fremont temple under the auspices
of the Good Citizens Peace society.
Mr.. Gompers referred to the position
of organized labor on the question Of
expansion and said: IF it was RICH.
for the founders of this government
to fight for free government it is not
today right to fight against it,, We
are today fighting against the only
Asiatic country that has ever made
an attempt to establish a republican
form Of government, and we are to-
day seriously considering taking part
in plan to divide up China because
1t will help our trade.
THE organizations of labor recog-
nize that large standing. army is a
menace to liberty and a fomenter Of
trouble between man and man. II
peace cannot be secured in any other
way, the time is coming when labor
will refuse to make implements tina:

lowmen; when ship builders will re-
fuse to construct vessels of war; when
sailors will refuse to navigate ships Ut

to contribute their labors in any way

treaty being formulated by the union
workers of Great Britain and America
which will make peace necessary with
out the Intervention of governments.
There never has been a conference of
workers that has not declared for
tranquility and peace"

Stamps on Bonds, Etc.

Collector Patterson of this internal
revenue district calls attention to the
ruling in the matter OF stamps to be
appned to bonds or notes and mort
cages. The law reads as follows:
Whenever any bond, or note shall
be secured by mortgage, or deed of
trust, but one stamp snail be required
to be placed upon such papers; pro-
vided, that the stamp tax placed there
on shall be the highest rate required
for said instruments, or either OF them.
Approved February %, 1899"
To make this clear to tax payers
tho following example will illustrate:
If the required tax on a mortgage
is Is cents given to secure a note on
which the tax would be IS cents, the
mortgage should be stamped and not
the note, and in cases where the lax
is the largest upon the note, then 'lo
note should be stamped and not the
mortgage. j. w. PATTERSON,
Collector Internal Revenue.

CINCINNATI, March 21.-A local
paper prints a story that the location
of the keyboard of which the Maine
was blown up in havana harbor has
been found by an American engineer
officer The story is that Captain
Huston of the volunteer engineers,
who had been assigned to the duty of
Gearing out the Notifications of Ha-
vana, had discovered in the gun room
Of the Quartet lie Forste a wooden box
or hut, in which he found gutta per-
cha tube conta ming one large copper
wire and several smaller wires. He
also found evidences of keyboard
having been torn away. Captain Hus-
ton had confided his discovery to War
rem J. Lynch, newly appointed gen.
eral passenger agent of the Big Four,
who was visiting Havana, and said he
was about to trace the wires to prove
his theory that the Mains
was exploded from that point. The
wreck of the vessel can be seen from
this gun room not more than 100
yards distant. The room itself was in
a part of the prison to which access
was only allowed to a few officers.

ReyiyIng Farmers Institutes.

Secretary Van Houten of the State
Agricultural society has inaugurateG
a movement to revive the State Asso-
citation of Farmers Institutes that ex-
listed a number of years ago, back in
the sos, but which has disappeared.
The plan is to have general con-
ference during the coming state fair
at the fair grounds, among members
of these organizations, the officers
when possible, relative to state or
ganization. Secretary Van HouteR
desires to get an expression of senti-
ment by letter or through the press,
from those who take an interest in
tn work CT the institutes relative to
forming such central organization.
IL it Is found that the movement Is
popular the state fair management
will take steps to extensively advertise
the fact that there will be such a
meeting at the fair in order to assure
a large attendance.
There is no state organization or
association Of the institutes. There
is no means of communication among
them. The result is that there are
many conflicts of dates. Frequently
outside speakers who are desirable
cannot be secured when invited to
attend, and there are many ways in
which embarrassing conflicts occur.
This, it is thought, can be avoided by
the state organization proposed. 1nere
might be a sort of central bureau to
which each might report and from
which each would receive information
concerning all the other organizations
to the benefit of all.
Secretary Van Houten was the Sec
rotary of the former organization for
some time. 1t died natural death.
No effort has been made to form a
state association recently until this
was made by him.

Important Insurance Decision.

Clinton dispatch: Judge Wolfe of
the district court rendered a decision
today in the case of Freda VS.. the
New York Mutual Life Insurance
company which is of especial interest
to insurance companies and policy
holders. The ruling is on point Of
law which heretofore has never been
brought up, and as the decision was
in favor of the plaintiff, adds addi-
tional interest to the case, the history
OF which is as follows:
December 81, 1896, an insurance pol
icy of $4,000 was issued to John
rreda. In order to tane advantage OF
the rate for % years of age, the policy
was dated back 20 september %. Be-
fore the year had expired for the ac-
tual time the policy was paid, viz:
December 81, 1897, Freda died, but
more than one year had elapsed from
the time the policy was dated, and
the premium had not been paid for the
succeeding year. In his decision
Judge Wolfe holds that as Freda had
paid for one years insurance he was
entitled to protection for one year
from the time the policy was issued,
which was December 81, 1896, and not
from the time the policy was dated,
as claimed by defendants. In his de-
cision the judge stated that inasmucn
as Freda had paid for insurance one
year, he was entitled to value received
He further holds that had Freda lived
and kept up the insurance it would
have been necessary to nave paid the
premium on September % each subse-
Cuect year

Take Sherman Aboard Friday.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March o.
Secretary Long received word today
from Captain Cooper of the cruiser
Chicago, saying that vessel had met
the Paris, on which ex-Secretary Sher-
man is passenger off Kingston, ia
maica
The Chicago was dispatched by the
navy department to Kingston to bring
Mr.. Sherman to the United States i'm
mediately, as the Paris was not to re-
turn with her excursionists for some
time. The Chicago did not reach
kingston in time, but on meeting the
Paris made arrangements to take Mr..
Sherman off the latter vessel on Fri
day, the change to be made at Caima-
nera, a few miles east of Santiago.

State School Fund.

State Auditor Merriam says that his
report of the condition of state school
funds, which will be compiled in few
days, will show that there is over $780,
900 in school funds in the possession
of counties unloaned. There is no de-
mand for this money. and with inter-
est rates falling the fund cannot be
invested in accordance with legal re-
uuirements. The law requires that
counties shall not loan at less than
6 per cent. and only in sums of $500.
but permits a loan of $1,000 when less
cannot be made. None over $1,000 can
be made, and each loan must be on real
estate. The counties are compelled to
hold all money they cannot loan and
| are compelled to pay the state gar
cent whether invested or not. The
funds are not in demand because 9TH
err money is cheaper and things are In
snch a bad state that there is talk 81
/ revision of the laws relating to school
money.

Fruit Trees From the Station.

John Craig, superintendent of the
horticultural department of the state
agricultural college, says: Quite a
number of letters are being received
by the writer, containing the following
question: Are you still selling fruit
trees from the college nurseries," To
those wishing information upon this
point l would like to say that we have
on hand this spring a considerable
number of hardy plum, apple and
cherry trees These will be disposed
of as long as the supply lasts at the
same rates as formerly, namely, 10
cents each for apple trees and Is cents
| each for the plums and cherries.
No fruit trees were propagated here
during the past season, and 1t will be
the future policy of the department to
keep out of the nursery business so far
as commercial varieties are concern
ed. | conceive it, however, to be a
legitimate function and the proper
province of the department of horti-
culture of the experiment station tc
propagate for sale at price which
shall be sufficient to cover the cost
of production of such fruits, flowers
or ornamentals as are produced by the
work of the department.
