TURKESTAN ALFALFA.

If there is a better variety of alfalfa than that used in the west, our people are certainly interested in finding it. and there should be no time lost nor money spared in the search. The an nual report of the secretary of agri- culture contains the following ac- count of a new plant known as the .Turkestan alfalfa.
 'The unusually severe winter of 1SsS-99 killed off probably half of the alfalfa of western Kansas. Nebraska. Colorado and Wyoming, and many fields in the central prairie states to the eastward were badly damaged, but the Turkestan alfalfa grown in the states mentioned was not affected. At the Wyoming experiment station q plant of Turkestan alfalfa was exposed for two weeks without injury to dal- ly temperature of 35 degrees F., the lowest point reached being 45 degrees. In California it was subjected without damage to a drouth which seriously in jured ordinary alfalfa. In view of th- notable success of this plant in with standing drouth and cold, it has been decided to purchase a large amount of the seed grown in American from our imported stock and distribute 1t widely over the arid west until 1t has been thoroughly tested under all the differ ent climatic conditions existing in that region. From the results already se- cured it is believed that this one pro- duction will add millions Of dollars to the annual hay product of the United States"
 N. lE. Hanson, of the agricultural coi- lege of Brookston. South Dakota, says that at the experiment. station in con nection with that college, with a mini mum temperature last winter of 40 de- grees below zero, with the ground bars,

GERMANS ORGANIZE FOR 1901
When the Task Is to Pluck the City
 Away From Tammany's Grip.

New York, Dec. 1.-The German. American league, which grew out ot the German-American Mckinley and Roosevelt league. was permanently or ganized last evening at the headquar- ters, 1O2 East Fourteenth street. Pres ident Thoma made the following re- marks:
 Tn this years national campaign ther was only one issue-National honor and prosperity against National dishonor and ruin. There is also but one issue in next years municipal campaign-a clean and honest city government against corruption All other issues are insignificant as com pared with taht one great issue.
 I've al know that Tammany Hall is the hotbed of corruption. It must be deprived of it's power before the clti- zens of our great and beautiful city can hope to find any relief from eN- orbitant taxes and shameful oppress- ion. In order to be successful, we must be united. The German-Ameri- cans have the balance Of power, and they ought to use it in the interests Of our city. They owe it to the city; to their German names, and to them selves. Let us put aside all petty jealousies and differences of opinion. and let us take a united stand against the common enemy"

BETTER THAN A PLEDGE.

A Cleveland man tells this pathetic and characteristic story of the late Rev. Dr. John Wesley Brown, the in cident occurring while he was rector of Trinity church in this city. The story was told the narrator by the doe tor himself.
 One evening a stranger called at the rectory on Superior street adjoining the church. He was a well dressed. well appearing man. but evidently in deeI trouble.
 "Dr. Brown" he said, q have come to you for advice and assistance. I am the victim of the drink habit I have an excellent position-I am cashier for wealthy corpOration-and I know I cannot retain it unless I reform. want you to draw up a pledge for me make it as strong as you can. please and will sign it and you will witness it."
 Dr. Brown leaned back and looked al the man.

ATTACHING INGALLS, DEAD.

William E. Connolly of Topeka who writes an article to defame John J.
 Ingalls, does not injure his reputation
 in the slightest. The personal great
 ness of lngalls is above attack. The
 amounts to nothing. Even if it were
 true, some of the greatest names in history are those of the men who were only orators-not rhetoricians but ora tors-men who could iil!uminate the highest topics of statesmanship and
 inspire the hearts of the nations. It was as orators that Demosthenes, Cic- ero, Mirabeau, c. J. Fox. Edmund Burke, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Daniel O'Connell and Gladstone did their best work and won deathless fame. There is a difference between an orator and a mere rhatorician or fluent speaker. Ingalls, was an orator and it was his high mission to repre- sent to the nation and the world the heart and brain of Kansas.
 The genius of Kansas fired the noble scholarship. the polished diction. the vivid imagination of the orator. No empty or hollow talk came from him: Ingalls, was a logician. a profound lawyer a man Of broad and sincere soul. His true statesmanship was seen in his leadership when he was acting president of the United States senate. He was not only a man of the highest culture. but a man of letters with d rare talent and a unique style. Many of his exquisite utterances are house. hold words with the Kansas people and his character and mind have deep ly influenced the Kansas public. The shaGs of his satire ard the scourge of h.s invective were used to chastise and pierce what was false and fraud ulent.
 MT. Connolly puts Ingalls, side by side with Jim Lane. and quotes against Ingalls, the vivid description of Lane he wrote for Harper's magazine of April 1885 Both men are dead. They were so different in character and ideal that no comparison can be made. No doubt lngaiis wrote what he believed to be the plain truth of Lane. But there is nothing in this incident to justify the general charges made by Connolly against 1nGalls.-Leavenwor Times.

MAIL THIEF A HIGH ROLLER.
Spent Money He Stole for Champagne
 and Diamonds

New York, Dec. L- Edmund J. Bell. clerk in the registry department of
 the general postoffce, was arrested yesterday afternoon at his home. 53S West 162d street. by Chief Postofice Inspector King and Postohice Inspec- tor Jacobs on a charge of stealing reg istered letters from the mail. Bell. who is only nineteen years old, was ap- pointed a clerk from the civil service lisc only seven months ago. lie had been a clerk in an Amsterdam avenue grocery store.
 Early in November, a registered lst- ter from Hatfield, Mass, containing $201, was missed. Soon after suspic- ion attached to Bell. who was on what
 is known at the midnight tour" Of clerks, by displaying a roll of bills containing $125 and asserting that he had won the money on a ten-to-one shot in a poolroom. Inspector Jacobs investigated the story and found that no such bet had been made in ti@ pool room on the day named. On Novem- Der 2, a letter from the Eufalia Ma tional bank, of Eufalia, Ala. address d to the Western Natlcnal bank of this city. was N-4SSGQ- IL COIlIsllIeU F--OOO in ten, twenty and fifty-dollar bills.
 Inspector Bell, who had been watch ing Bell pretty closely, had satisfied himself already tha5 the young man was living far beyond his means. For the past few days he haG an especially large amount of ready money. On
 Wednesday night, Inspector Jacobs followed him into the Haymarket, where he spent most of the evening drinking with a woman. His cham -pagne for the evening was S20. On Thursday noon he called on a young woman living with her parents in up uer Eighth avenue. near 125th street, and presented to her diamond ring, for which he paid $45.
 After Bell was arrested he confessed to the theft of the letter from the Ala bama bank. The inspectors recovered $1,597 of the stolen norey, which was found hidden away in Bells house. He also gave them a diamond scarf pin, for which he said he paid $G5
 Later, in Chief Inspector King prl- vate office at the Federal building, BeH signed a full confession, acknowledge ing the theft of the $2.000 and also of the $2O1 which was missed a few weeks ago. When arraigned before United States Commissioner Alexander, he

 never drank at other times. When ht was with his friends he would forge himself and overstep the limit. Some times he didn't go on a spree for 3
 whole month, but the attacks were growing more frequent. He seemed tC be losing his will power.
 My friend" said the doctor, ''you don't need a pledge. I see in you a victim of good comradeship. You are far from being an ordinary drunkard. If you signed a temperance pledge and broke it-as you undoubtedly would do-it would still further degrade you in your own eyes. I do not advise the pledge"
 The man looked dumbfounded.
 But what am to do?" he gasped.
 The doctor drew a card from his pocket and rapidly wrote a few lines.
 There" he said, read that"
 This is what the man read:
 ''To my friends: I find I am becom- ing victim of the liquor habit. If I do not quit I am sure to lose my posi- tion and ruin myself. For Gods sake. don't ask me to drink with you''

 q expected you long before this" said the doctor as he greeted the stranger. ''Tell me about it. Did you show the card?"
 "Yes." replied the man. "The first time was the very next night after I road man, came into the office and af- ter had checked up his accounts said: Charlie. I'd sooner cut that hand off. than ask you to drink again. Well, sir, showed that card several times after that, and every blessed man l showed it to took it seriously. Some times they said, All right, old boy Sometimes they laid it down without a word. And then-it was last night-I forgot all about it and here I am.''
 You are doing well,' said the doctor. Have courage and try and make the interval little longer next time"
 It was three months before the man came back. The next time it was six 
 And now" said the doctor to the narrator. "it is nearly two years since his last call, and I have every reason to belive he will not find it necessary to come to me again. So, you see. I was quite right. It wasn't a pledge that he needed.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

This variety of cotton, whose fibre is so highly prized, is indigenous to the Lesser Antilles. and probably to san Salvador, the Bahamas and other is- lnds between 12 and 26 degrees of north latitude. By cultivatio- it has been extended throughout the West Indies. the maritime coast of the southern states, Central America, Puerto Rico. Egypt and other favorable climatef. Bulletin No. 10 of the division of bio- logical survey of the United States ag- iicultural department says that it may be cultivated in any region adapted to the olive, near the sea, the principal requisite being a hot and humid atmos- phere but adds that the results of ac- climatizatfon indicates that the humid atmosphere is not entirely necessary if irrigation be employed, as this species is grown extensively in Egypt
 This bulletin further says that al- though the area in which sea island cotton is produced in the United States is very small, and although large quantity is manufactured in our coun- try, still the value of the crop export ed in 1897 amounted to over .$4Oo0,0o0 and then adds that ''it is quite probable that both Sea Island and Egyptian cotton could be cultivated with profit in parts of southern California and southern Arizona"
 Again, this bulletin says: While considerable progress has been made in ascertaining what agricultural pro- ducts are adapted to the climatic con ditions of southeru California and southern Arizona, this has been done at a knowledge of the subject has been at tained $ Nature has not been over-generous in the distribution of water in this part of the country. but she has been lavish in her gifts of soil and climate. The fruit growers of Cal ifornia were long in finding out that their state comprises all of the agricul- tural belts of America, except the hu- mid tropical, and that its different areas are naturally adapted to a great diversity of agricultural and horticul- tural products.
 It is believed by those who have in- telligently studied the question that the great Colorado desert, when reclaimed will successfully grow the Sea Island cotton. or at least the modified Egyo- tian long staple cotton which is used
  high lustre. It gives to fabrics soft finish somewhat like silks.
 In 1897 our country exported cotton to the value. of over $212. 900, but during the same season it imported from Egypt the finer article to the value of $5,OOO,O00.
 In climatic conditions there are prob- ably no two countries in the world that will more nearly resemble each other than will Egypt and the Colorado desert, after the latter has been re- claimed by irrigation. If this country can raise the long staple cotton of equal quality of that grown in Egypt, portion of that $5, 900 can be kept at home.
 The growth of this long staple Sea Is | land cotton has been tried on a small | scale at Yuma, and the result was very | satisfactory. The yield per acre is greater than that of ordinary cotton | and the price per pound much higher.

HORRIBLE EXAMPLE IN PULPIT

Kokomo, Ind, Dec. s.-There was a dramatic scene at the Presbyterian church in this city last night, where a revival is in progress. conducted by Evangelist Merton Smith of Chicago On front seat near the pulpit sat a drunken saloon porter, who had wan dered into the place in a dazed condi- tion.
