Man Trying to Sell History of Span ish

Washington, October 5.-Acting Score
tary Meiklejohn has been advised that a
short time ago~a young man called at a
house in Augusta, Maine, and presented
card on which was printed: "Com.

Chalmers"
The young man was dressed in uni
form ike that OF officers Of the army ex-
cept that it lacked shoulder straps and
had as collar and cap ornaments the
letters Nv. r. -
He informed the gentleman of the
house who happened to be an officer Of the
army, that he, Chalmers, represented the
records Office Of which General Marcus J.
Wright had been for twenty years the
head and he wished to sell the Records
OF the Spanish War;
The work proved to be pictorial ac-

under misleading title.

CONVICTED OF MURDER.
Northampton Furnishes First Victim
OfEIectric Chair.

Northampton, Mass, October 5.-Con-
victed of murder in the first degree,
Franceszek Umilian, a Pole, tonight
sleeps unconcernedly in his cell in Hamp-
shire county jail, while the electric chair
at the State prison at Charleston awaits
It's first victim. For over five hours the
jury which had listened to the evidence
which showed an exceptionally brutal
murder, wrestled with the question of
degree of guilt, and finally after explana-
tion by the court brought in its verdict.
Umiian seemed unaffected by the decis-
ion.
The trial was a tedious one as most
of the evidence had to be translated into
the Polish tongue. UmiIian was accused
of killing Kaimierz Jedrusick, or Jack
as he was called, and throughout
Umilian stolidly denied knowing how
Jack" met his death. Today the trial
was dramatically ended by Umilian say
ing in his own defense, just after Judge
Sherman had finished charging Ethe jury:
me no kill Jack nor any one."
The session Of the court was a special
one and Umilian viii be sentenced at the
regular one although it is anticipated
that motion for a new trial will be
made and a date set for arguing the ex-
ceptions already taken, This trial was
the first for murder ever held in Hamp-
shire county.
Jedrusick and Umilian worked on
Keiths farm in CRANKY the former mysteT-
iously disappeared on the night of Onto-
Der 81, last. His mutilated and headless
body was found in an unused well on
the farm several weeks later, and when 1t
became known that the two men had
had trouble owing to jealousy on
Umilian's part, the latter was arrested
for the crime,

ODDS INCREASING.
Three to One Offered on Mckinley and
One Bet of Three and a Half to One
Was Made.
New York Herald.)

Betting odds on the Presidential cleo
ton yesterday shifted to to 1 with no
takers, and one bet was reported to have
been made on the general result last
night at s., 500 on Mckinley to 81, 900
on Bryan. This bet is at odds of 351z to 1.
1t is also reported on good authority
that Richard Croker has ceased betting,
but that he has already wagered on this
election upward of $500, COO 1t Is also
said that up to date about 81, 900, OOJ
has been wagered on the election in Wall
street. One brokerage firm has negoti-
ated bets aggregating more than $3.50, 600.
The shift in the odds favorable to the
Republican candidate began last week,
when Louis V. Bell offered to wager
S10O, 900 to $4,000 on NICK inley's election
and then made the proposition that If
that bet was taken he would wager $780,
600 to S1OO OOO, the only condition being
that this sum should be taken in one bet.
This offer was made because the hackers
Of Bryan had complained that they could
not get Mckinley money in large enough
sums to suit them.
Just prior to that bet betsof S22, 900
to $4,000 at odds of II to 3, was made in
the Office Of Bell & Co., but there have
been no odds like that since.
Bell & Co., for a customer offered to
bet S12, 900 against S. COO on the general
result This is $4OO bstter than 21S to l.,
There was no taker for this bet, and lat
er any quantity of money was offered in
Wall street at to /, but there was no
Bryan money to cover it.
These wagers and betting propos itions
have been made or offered in the office
of Bell & Co. during the week:
Fifteen Thousand dollars to S., 600 that
Bryan would not carry Indiana, Illinois
and Kentucky. This bet was taken.
A proposition of $50, 900 to 1000, OF
any part thereof, at 3 to 1, that Bryan
would not carry Indiana, Illinois and
Kentucky. This was refused.
A proposition to bet 5000 to $4,000
that Mckinley would carry Illinois.
This also was not taken.
Henry W. Bull, of the Stock Exchange
firm OF Edward Sweet & Co, offered to
bet $4,000 against 81, 900 on Mckinley
No takers.
J. J. Judge reported that he had
wagered 800 on each proposition that
Bryan win carry Kentucky, Maryland,
West Virginia and Delaware.
Edward La Montague. a Wall street
broker, was reported to have bet 50, SOD
to $1,000 on Mckinley at the Waldorf
with a member of Tammany hall. Fur
ther details of this bet could not be
learned.

Brewster, driver of Corbrino, was
thrown from his seat and his horse went
after the rest without him, trotting a
full half mile or more and was caught
at the wire. None Of the horses or drivers
was injured. Drummer Girl took three
straight heats and the race.
Only two horses started In the unfn-
ished 10 trot. Philip E., yester lay S
heat winner, was slightly favored, even
with bad reputation for unsteadiness.
He acted badly and was second to Al

The children Of a Maine lawyer were
never allowed to speak to him when en-
tering his Office until he stopped his work
and looked up at them. One day a little
girl rushed into the Office, but papa was
busy and paid no attention for about five
minutes, when he then looked up, and the
little girl said, Papa, the house is on
fire." The house was on fire, as she had
said, and ever since then the children are
allowed to speak to papa anywhere or at
any time.

miles, 1O45 yards, beating the record Of
Chase, made two weeks ago at the

The new record is phenomenal from
the fact that Elkes rode with the ordinary

had all these prote ctions.

up in the tree, get a pole long enough to
reach them and fasten the basket to one
end Of it. When the basket is right up
| under the cluster, give the pole a sharp
jerk upward, which motion will jar the
limb and the bees will drop into the bas-
ket. Have the hive under the tree and
dump the bees in front Of it, and they
will march in like an army. The hive
should be raised an inch or two in front
to give them air; the bees will commence
to give a contented hum, and if there are
any remaining on the tree they will hear
it and join the swarm.
In the evening the hive can be carried
to where it is to remain. Sometimes a
swarm will cluster on the trunk ola tree
or on a fence or wall. Then 1t will be
necessary to use brush to get them into
a basket and proceed as described above.
The ringing Of bells and the beating of
pans and all such old fogy notions are, of
course, of no avail. A prime swarm Of
bees will almost always settle. / have
never yet seen it miss, providing the
queen was with them, and If the queen is
not with them they will most surely re-
turn to their hive. Sometimes swarm
will hang on a tree all day, and then
again they may depart in little while.
1t is best to hive them within a half hour
after they have issued.-F. G.. Herman,
in American Agriculturist.

Intensive vs.. Extensive Farming.

The successful farmer Of the future
must farm fewer acres and grow more
per acre. Rotation Of crops and diversi-
flied farming and stock raising are the
plans to be adopted for laying the best
foundation for the success of the future
farmer, and, as it costs no more to raise a
well bred animal than it does to raise a
scrub, better sell off the inferior stock
and in the future raise none but the very
best to consume the crops raised. Fewer
animals in number and better ones to
consume the grain and grass raised on
fewer acres is the road to success in these
days Of small margins and sharp compe-
tition. The writer has observed one great
| mistake made by many farmers: They
| un dertake to do too much, so that they
have not time to give growing crops
proper attention at the right time.
Better drop off one or two things in
| which there is the least profit and put
| more time on other crops that pay better.
| The successful farmer of the future will
/ find that he cannot afford to undertake
more than he can do well. / have had
| experience enough to know that in far m
| ing many things must be done at the
right time to secure good and profitable
crop. If we would have our potato patch
do the best, the ground should be stirred
as soon as dry enough after every rain
! that falls, forming crust on the surface
| Every ton of clover hay that a man sells
off his farm robs it of about 81. 20 worth OF
fertility; every ton of timothy hay that be
hauls away robs it of about $5.46, and
every ton of wheat, $7.75.
| Hence it is evident to every man that il
we grow clover and timothy for the mar
ket it is only question Of time when the
best Of farms will become unproductive
We must practise more intense farming
