Spanked by his Wife.

Port Chester, n. Y, June 90
Police Justice Wakefield this
morning decided the celebrated
case of Ausky vs. Ausky IN favor
of the wife. Ausky had had Mrs.
Ausky arrested for spanking
him. The wife pleaded justifica6

in a wagon and shouted, Tell
her III never come back" Then
he disappeared. The Judge tol d
Mrs. Ansky to go home in peace
and if her husband was naughty
to spank him some more. Ausky
was spanked because he refused

Cubans AstOnished.

Habana, June 2O.-The Admin
istration Economica, which is
charged with the disbursement
of the finances of the provisional
government of Habana and the
province, published a statement
showing that from January to
May, inclusive, the receipts were
$763,174 and the expenses $17S,.
22S, sthe balance being cash on
hand. This causes general as
tonishment among the Cubans
and is unprecedented in the his
tory of Habana. Never before
have the figures been published
openly. The officials formerly
merely made semi i-o1icial state
ments which were not itemized.
No two years of the Spanish re.
gime have yielded as much as the
past five months.

The New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat quotes Prof. Wiley, chief
chemist of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington, as say
ing, among other things: "WInes
are frequently sold under false
colors. Many of the wines substi-
tuted for high grade goods are
doctored in a great degree by sal
icylic acid. The so.called grape
juice, commonly used in church
for communion purposes, is moth
ing more than solution of sal
iclyc acid, with a flavorlng Of
grape juice. This acid is colorless
and Is tasteless, which renders il
first class material to use as an
adulterant. 1t Is frequent trick
of produce dealers to color vege
tables with salts of copper and
zinc to give them a fresh appear
ance. Glucose has taken the place
of syrup, and most of the grocery
store jelly Is made by boiling
down shanks and tendons and ad-
ding coloring matter. Seventy
five or eighty per cent OF the con.
diments bought are made up Of
ground peanut shells and other
adulterants." AS We have re-
marked before, there ought to be
a large and profitable business
for some enterprising men in the
south in the manufacture Of hon
est syrup, jellies, preserves, pick
les, condiments, etc, for home con
sumption.

as laborer. Mr.. Brown wanted
the race separated from the whites
and colonized, either in this coun-
try or elsewhere, in the interest
of the southern states.
The great obstacle in the way
of the development is the want
of money.
Mr.. Brown advocated diversi-
fled crops, recommending that
each community should raise suf-
ficient of everyth thing to meet its
own demands.
AT the afternoon session the
commission listened to a state
ment by Mr., p. II. Lovejoy. a
merchant and planter of Hawk
insville, Ga. He spoke especially
of the relations of the local mer-
chants and the farmers. The mer-
chants themselves had not been
prosperous for several years.
They were compelled to make the
ma ajority Of their sales on credit,
and had to take mortgages upon
the land of the farmers, if they
had any, or on their crops, if they
had no land. Many of them were
not able to give collateral Of any
value, and to such men sales were
made on large margins Of profit.

"If he is good we sell to him on a
small margin. If he is a hard case
we take what he has and quit"
He said that freight rates from
Georgia to New York we're about

York to Georgia. The large cities
were evidently being built up at
the expense of the country. Even
the watermelon crop was unfa,

Further Evidence Before the In
dustrial Commission.

Washington, June 2O.-1he in
dustrlal commission tc day con-
tinued it's investigation of the
agricultural conditions of the
south, Mr.. j. Polk Brown, presi
dent of the Agricultural Society
of Georgia, was the first witness.
He agreed with Mr.. Barrett, who
testified yesterday, that the con-
dltion of agriculture in the south
was more depresssed than it had

ploughing bare footed and bare
backed than ever before. He
agreed with the late Henry Gra-

many had claimed, was it entire.
ly with the tariff. One Of the most
prolific causes Of the trouble was
In the fact that cotton was prac-
hcally the only crop.
Education, he considered, was
not sufficiently practical. 1t should
teach people to do manual labor.
SO far as the colored racewas con.
cerned there was no opening for
them in trade or the professions.
Mr.. Brown dwelt on the pres
