Another pleasing side light is thrown
upon the character Of Admiral Dewey
by an incident which occurred at Han
over, N. H., the other day. AS the train
approached the town the admiral said
to the people in his car: "Let's have
no speeches; let's have a good time
There have been speeches enough
And when he saw that the clamoring
collegians could not be refused he
mournfully but manfully rose with Il
said I wouldn't make speech, and I
can't make speech. but I'll do it. ~
Then he went out on the platform and
said, II am glad to see you You are
here simply because you wish to ex-
press your patriotism. Keep it up 1t
is the spirit which should possess every
American. l thank you for this very
kind reception. Retiring while the
thunders Of applause were still filling
the air, he turned to Governor Rollins
Of New Hampshire and explained the
situation as he understood it: ''It isn't
myself; it is simply patriotism that
has stirred the people. They have CEN
tered their patriotism upon me, and if
I can do anything to keep alive that
sentiment-patriotism- am only too
glad to do what I can Coming from
some men the utter sincerity of this
might be open to doubt. but no one
will suspect Dewey Of saying more or
less than he means and believes or of
saying thing merely for effect.

agricultural department at M Washington
10 'promote sugar beet culture in this
country, together with the efforts Of
several state legislatures to stimulate
the industry with state bounties, nat
urally excited public interest in the
latest developments Of sugar beet pro-.
duction in Germany, which is the
greatest sugar beet growing country in
the world. There is much apprehension
in Germany over the probable effect Of
the increased sugar beet area in the
United States upon the bounty fed in.
dustry of Germany. ts< 2..:-5..s.--.
That country's sugar production has
been stimulated by bounties until it
has reached enormous proportions and
any threatened curtailment of the mar
ket for this product ia naturally viewed
with alarm. The United States is a
heavy customer of Germany in this
line, but with the annexation Of several
sugar growing islands and the rapid
development Of the beet sugar areas in
California, Nebraska, Utah and Vir-
ginia, which states raised 52, 900, 00Q
pounds in 1895, it is but question Of
time when this country will be able tc
supply the domestic demand. In fact,
it is not improbable that the United
States may become at no remote periol
an exporter Of sugar.
According to the reports Of our con
Buls in Germany, the sugar beet indus
try, though still fostered by liberia
bounties, is practically at standstill
Indeed there has been slight decreas
in the output, there being 1854, 00
acres under cultivation this year agains
1, 1850, 900 acres in 1878. The crop o
beets grown amounted to 1914, 80
metric tons in 1898, which was 1, 553,
691 metric tons less than the year be
fore.
It is easy to see that the most gene,
GUS bounty system on the part Of tn
German government cannot long MAR
tain the industry against diminishin
markets.

The Automobile In Postal service.

The Automobile In Postal Servipe.
One of the toasts on the programme
of the banquet rendered to Postmaster
General Smith at Chicago recently was
The Automobile, . which was respond
ed to by DR.. Samuel G. Dorr, postmas-
ter Of Buffalo, who discussed the horse
less vehicle with reference to it's utility
in the postal business of the country.
DR.. Dorr expressed the opinion that the
automobile would become an important
factor in the postal department, facili-
tating the work Of both the collection
and delivery of mail matter. ~
The particular department in which
there appears to be the greatest oppor-
tunity for the automobile is in rural
deliveries, branch Of the service to
which the postal authorities are now
giving especial attention. Its employ
ment for that purpose would do more
to promote the improvement Of country
highways than almost any other agency.
Thus there would be accomplished
double good-facilitating the delivery
Of the mails in the rural and suburban
sections and the improvement of the
highways.
In the collection of mail in the cities
the automobile could also be proftably
utilized. It is a fact that the collection
Of mail from the letter boxes in most
cities has not reached that systematic
celebrity which seems to have been at
tanned in other departments. The let
tiers are usually collected in carts at
tached to animals that are not thor
oughly imbued with the idea Of dis
patch that has made the United States
postal service the most perfect in the
world It is apparent that the work OF
dozen or 20 Of these carts could be
done in about half the time by an auto
mobile constructed with especial refer
ence to the expeditions performance of
the work

breed cattle, which the blacks are not

that these stupid savages do not know
how to distinguish between marsupial

white man takes revenge for his mis-

TOBACCO spoTTING DISCUSSED.

SUIT FOR ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF
 A TOBACCO sPOTTING PATENT ON TRIAL
 AT NEW HAVEN.
 A case of much interest to the tobacco growers If the Connecticut valley came up in the United States circuit court at New Haven, this week, before Judge Townsend; It is that of Clyde A. Rick ard and Edward N. Long against John A. DuBon of Poquonock for alleged in- fringement of patent for treating 70. bacco leaves, called ''spotting." The case of the tOba eco growers was present. ed by William K. Simopds and Arthur l.. Shipman. MT Simonds held at the beginning of bis argument that the vital and assimilative function of growing plant is not patentable. There are dis coveries and inventions of high order, he said, which are Hot patentable under the statutes; if one were to discover 8 method of squarIng circle he could not patent it; one cannot patent new meth. cd Of taxation, nor 8 method of drilling troops, nor method of medical treat ment, such for instance, as massage; nor ia any process patentable an essen tial elemeu Ut of which is the vital and az similative function of an animal or plant. Any so-called process which has for an essential element the vital furc- tions of plant or animal is not patenta ble. The patent in suit is void for lack of patentable novelty. It ia plain enougl that since 1850 the tobacco trade has un- derstood all about using of caustics tt produce spots both on wrapper leaves and on cigars. The idea of distributing such 'chemical mordants" upon grow ing plants by spraying, and the other idea that the leaves can be thus spotted, have long been well-known things in agriculture.-GSpringfeld Republican.
