Farmers Insittuto.

On Monday, 10th inst, a Farmers
Institute will be held at Accomac @
H., under the auspices OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture of Virginia aud
the personal direction OF commits
sloner Koiner The meeting will be
called promptly at $50 II. H., and af-
ter short interval for dinner will be
resumed in the afternoon and con-
tinue throughout the day.
Similar meetings were held In five
counties of the State during October
and there was but one opinion ex-
pressed by those who attended, that
the institute far surpassed all expec
tations and had resulted in almost
incalculable good in those sections in
which they we're held.
Such Institutes, though something
of an innovation Ia this State have
long been held In Ohio, Pennsylvania
and other progressive agricultural
Stetes and are now established In
itltutions, acknowledged to be of
great benefit to the farmers in Civ
ing them practical instruction in
various branches of their vocation.
Those who have taken part ia them
say" that there is nothing theoretical
about them but the most practical
things imaginable-that they know
the subjects which they discuss, not
as the man does who has obtained his
information from books, but from the
knowledge he has obtained in the
hard school of experience. The lee
turers are ready to answer any ques-
tions that may be put to them as
they are to talk. Indeed, 1t is in the
answering of the many inquiries with
which the experts are piled that the
farmer is most helped. He cites cases
that have come under his observation
on his own farm, and the explana
tions and discussions that follow, are
not on supposition, but on very
real fact, which has probably caused
the questioner no end of trouble"
The exercises of the Farmers Insti-
tute, to be held at Accomac @. H
will consist of four lectures, by speak
ers with practical knowledge, on fol-
lowing subjects:
Mfr. s. Il. Heigis, of York, Pa, one
of the best authorities on fruits in
this country, will talk on that sub
ject. He will give instructions how
to plant and cultivate an orchard,
how to prevent all kinds OF diseases
in fruits, the fertilizers best adapted
to fruits, &c.
Mr.. s. F. Barber, practical dairy
man, will lecture on Little things
that cause us SO much trouble in the
dairy; how to make the best butter
with the least expense; best combi-
nation of feed, showing how to COM
bine food so as to get the most bene-
fit from them at the least expense;in-
formation as to hog raising, &C."
Commissioner Koiner will discuss
fertilizers, the proper use of them,
&c, &c.
Diseases of potatoes and other
vegetables will also be discussed by
some one with practical information
them.
The institute is TO be held without
expense to the farmers in any way.
No hat will be passed around and no
asked for. No farmer
on the Eastern Shore can afford to
be absent on the day.

Saturday to perform a marriage cere-
mony, uniting Jewish maidens to
gentle friends OF the governor. DIR.
William S. Lynch and Lawyer H. G.
Askins were married to Esther Ben
jamin and Rose Lillian BENJAMIN
respectively. The governor was ask
ed to perform the ceremony as a
compromise, the BRIDES declining to
be married by Christian ministers
and the grooms objecting to the Jew
ish ceremony. The service and prayer
used by the governor contained about
800 words and were made up from the
services of several denominations.

details.

The income of the Countess he went
on to set forth, was 100000 francs
tS519,000. Since the marriage S15,-
100000 francs $50 1895, 900 had been ex-
pended and the debts now amounted
to fully 100000 francs (Si,439,000).
The Gould family had met in consul
tation and unanimously decided 10 au-
thorize George Gould to make the pres
ent application.
The debts, Maitre Bonnet said, were
the following:
3,702.000 francs (S714 1850 in connec-
ton with the Charity Bazaar building
and the hotel in the rue Malakoff,
etc. etc.
G,5S5.2G0 francs 1870, 300 on mort
cages payable from 1900 to 1909.
4,293,155 francs ($S28,57S) on bills,
money borrowed.
100000 francs ($1,756,300 owing
to curio dealers.
Maitre Bonnet went on to assert that
the creditors distrained on the Seine
ct Disc property and that the family
had to intervene to prevent the sale.
With regard to the fitness Of George
Gould to be trustee Maitre Bonnet
pointed out that his fortune was larg-
er than that of the Countess, that
authority based on affection would be
great, and that nobody was better
qualified, as it was George Gould who
was appointed executor of his fathers
will. Another consideration was that
the clearing away of the debts would
take number of years, and that
therefore it would be wise to econom-
ize and not to go to the expense of a
paid trustee.
The tribunal, taking this view, &C.
clared the plaintiff possessed, better
than any other, of the necessary posi-
ton and authority to assist the de-
fendress."

staying in the country together.

city to inaugurate preparations for
the laying OF the cornerstone of the
new state house, which will take
place during the middle part of Feb

Clarion-Ledger states that the event
should be made the grandest and

history of Mississippi, and suggests
that invitations should be extended
to the officials of all the southern
states, the members Of the Mississippi
legislature, Inc judicial, county and
city officials and the iratcrnal organi-
cations and business bodies to be in

Mr.. Gould, Brother of the Countess,
Brought the Suit Because the Young
Nobleman Had Impaired His Wife's
Vast Fortune-The Latter's Debts and
Experimentation of Gould Family
Paris (By Cable).-The Civil Tribu-
nal has appointed George j. Gould
trustee for the Countess Boni de Cas-
tellane, his sister.
The action, in the case was the result
of a suit brought by Mr.. Gould against
his sister. The proceedings were con-
Quoted in secret session.
Maitre Bonnet, when applying for
the trusteeship, informed the Presi-
dent of the court that the Countess
herself recognized that the eXpendi-
ture had been too lavish, and that it
was necessary for some one of eX-
perience and authority to manage her
affairs. He went on to say that, al
though the Countess was q consen-
tial party to the trusteeship, it was de-
sirable that he should furnish precise
details.

He Will Try Again.

Since the celebrated decision by
the supreme court last spring, declar-
ing the judiciary amendments un-
constitutional, an impression seems
to have been formed throughout the
state that the question would not be
brought up again for discussion
at least not for several years,
But Hon. Z. F. Noel, the author of
the former amendments, now an
nounces that at the next session OF
the legislature he will offer concur
rent resolution embodying amend
ments to the constitution providing
for an elective judiciary, and he ex.
presses confidence that the resolution
will be adopted. Mr.. Noel further
more says that he will have the reso-
luton so framed that it will meet
every objection pointed out in the
supreme court decision.
