Pretty tough work digging potatoes
now, on account of the rain. Those
who dug their potatoes week before
last had the good advantage of not
getting muddy.
Some of onr farmers say they have
uever seen so much rain in these parts
so late in the fall as this year.
Some of our boys went on a visit
last Sunday, and then the rain came
so they had to stay all night.
Nearly all the grain is threshed
around here. Considerable damage
will bedone to that which is unthreshed
on account of there being so much
rain.

William l.. henson and His Alabama
Industrial school.

William e. Benson. young colored
graduate of Howard University, ad-
dressed an appreciative audience in the
First Congregational Church last night on
the birth and growth of the Kowaliga In
dustrial School at Kowaliga, Ala.
The speaker stated that he was the
founder Of the school and told of the good
work being done among the ignorant col
ored people in the backwoods of Alabama.
Boys and girls, he said, are given good
educations and taught trades and knowl-
edge of housekeeping. and according to the
speaker the school is slowly solving the
great problem which is now agitating the
South.
we make the negro respectable said
the speaker, ''and have no trouble with
him. We teach the moral responsibility
of which he is now ignorant. We show
him how TO make the best OF his condition
and be content with his lot. Still, were
we to educate every negro in the South
and allow the ignorant white class to re-
main as at present, we could do no good

STATE FORESTS AND FORESTRY.
Suggestions in the Report of super
intendent COlvin.

Albany. March l-Superintendent YER
planck Colvin. of the State Land Survey,
in his annual report to the legislature to
be submitted on Monday night, tells what
has been accomplished in making surveys,
especially in the Adirondack region. He
speaks of the magnitude of the task un-
dertaken by the State in establishing the
forest preserve. He says that it will take
many years to organize skillful system
OF forestry in this State, and says:
In the haste of travellers TO enter the
great forest, the great possibilities ami
enormous advantages which would accrue
TO our State, If the barren uplands (beyond
the limits of the park could be recovered
with timber. are often overlooked. 1t may
be estimated that there are a million acres
of these barren upiands existing around
the exterior of the Adirondack Park, be-
tween the borders of the park and the set
Elements; lands which are hardly utilized
for any profitable purpose, the soil being
exhausted, and the country unattractive
and less known and visited than many
more remote sections in the interior /
would not advise that these lands be pur-
chased. but / would respectfully suggest
that if this State is to have a system OF
forestry the encouragement of individual
efforts in the care of timbered lands. and
in tree planting. if fostered in these bor-
der lands between the park and the set
Elements, would, within a generation to
come. develop large class of skillful for
esters, thrifty, economical, and industri-
Gus. to whom the future care OF the great
forests of the interior might be entrusted
in proportion as they are proved to be
faithful to their private work and able in
the management of their own forest lands
and in their business relations in connec-
tion with such industries.
THE proper method by which to en-
courage tree-planting in those border-land
districts, and TO secure wise and uniform
forest management and an administration
without expenditure of money for the pur-
chase of lands, would seem TO be the fur
nishing of seed. the cones of conferous

MARTHA PLACES LAST
SUNDAY ON EARTH
Before the Dawn of Another
Sabbath She Will Die.
The GrewsOme Scene to Be Enacted
at Sing Sing.
She Receives Knowledge of the EN-
act Hour When She viii Have to
Die With Wonderful Courage.

Sing Sing N Y, March 19.--Mrs Place
spent Sunday in a much quieter manner
than was anticipated. Her brothers visit
yesterday afternoon considerably unnerved
her and it was believed from her manner
that the reaction which many have ex-
pected since she was told she had TO die,
had come. These predictions were not
borne out, however, by her actions today,
which indicated that her marvellous
courage had again reasserted itself.
Although Warden Sage, in the course of
a fifteen minute visit this morning, told
her the exact time at which she would
have TO die Mrs. Place received this an
nouncement in much the same manner
as she showed upon his preceding visit
when he told her of the governors deci-
sion not to interfere. There were signs
that il was a hard struggle to maintain
her wonderful self-oontroi in the nervous
twitching of her hands and an occasional
biting of her lips, but that was all.
The warden said after leaving her that
it was probably the last visit he would
make before the time when he will summon
her TO the chair After the warden left
her Mrs. Place laid down for a while and
when dinner was brought in at noon her
appetite appeared to be better than it has
been for several days. After dinner she
laid down again. and Mrs. Riley, the mat
ron on watch during the day. read to her
from the Bible at her request.
Mrs. Place appeared TO be more relig-
iously inclined today than she has ever
been. Frequently after arising this morn
ing she prayed at her bedside and almost
the entire afternoon was spent by her i'll
reading the Bible or religious pamphlets,
many Of which have been left in her room.
The gloom in her room became so great
about the middle of the afternoon that
reading was made almost impossible. Mrs.
Place requested that the electric light
be turned on. which was done. For some
time Mrs. Place has been engaged in max
ing a pin-cushion for the wife OF her
spiritual adviser. Upon learning of the
governors decision Warden Sage ordered
that all her sewing be taken from her for
fear of her using needles as means OF
attempting suicide. Yesterday Mrs. Place
expressed a desire to finish the cushion
and the warden decided to let her resume
her work. but the matron will be seated
near her when she is engaged in this man

THE ANSWER TO PRAYER.
Father McGIyun's Sermon in ST
stephens Catholic Church.

stephens tnthottc hurch.
Inspiring in its sentiment. beautiful in
its simplicity. and withal thoroughly prac-
tical was the sermon delivered by the
Rev. Father McGlynn yesterday morning
in st. Stephens Catholic Church. Pennsyl
vania Avenue and Twenty-fifth Street
northwest. The auditorium of the church
was crowded to its full capacity and many
were compelled to stand in the aisles and
vestibule to hear the distinguished speaker.
After reading several passages from the
gospel of st. Matthew descriptive of
Christs Sermon on the Mount. the speaker
said that it was particularly appropriate at
this holy season of the year to hold COM
munion with the Father. and that this
could only be done through prayer.
Prayer in its genealogical sense" said
Father McGlynn. lis the asking of things
proper from God. Just as a child goes to
its mother when in need so we when buff
feted by the world should go to God with
cur burdens and he will always help us
The speaker said that frequently our pray
ers are not answered, but that this was
because of the Fathers love for His chill
dren. knowing that what they asked would
be detrimental to their interest.
God never fails to answer our petit
tions in some way" said the speaker. "and
that way is ever the best for us. Some
times we wonder at Affections and imagine
that God has forsaken U.s. but never fear.
His loving arm is ever around us and will
support us until the end"
The speaker then said that it was the
desire of everyone to secure pardon for sin
and that the only way to be forgiven was
to ask it OF the Father, who in His loving
mercy and tender kindness never turned
deaf ear to our appeals.
In conclusion, Father McGlynn said that
by intercourse with God men became more
like Him, just as in earthly associations
their characters were influences by con-
tact with men and things.

WHISKY VS.. MEDICINE.
Under War Revenue Law Only One
whisky Is Taxed as n Medicine.


Under the new Revenue Stamp Law
whiskies are exempt from taxation, but
medicines are taxed. 1t is a notable fact
in connection with this truth that there
is one whisky which is acknowledged by
the Government to be a medicinal VIII sky.
and which is, therefore. stamped.
This unusual exception is made in the
case of Duny's Pure Malt WHISKY, the
Government recognizing its medicinal
qualities, which 60 not belong to any other
whisky. 1t is a complete confirmation of
what has been known to the medical pro-
fession and scientists fer many years,
namely, that Duffys Pure Malt Whisky IS
a medicinal whisky, as different from
other kinds of bottled whistles as strong
medicinal waters are different from orii-
nary waters; as different from ether whis
kies as medicinal preparation can be diff
ferent from a preparation containing ro
medicinal qualities.
1t is gratifying to know that people who
are not slow to take advantage of all that
is meritorious are using Duffy's Pure Ma
for medicinal purposes and that it contin-
ues to accomplish wonders.
