CLARITY-In this city, at the residence
OF his sister, Mrs. T. ]. Murphy,
Sunday, June "a, 1900, after pro-
tracted illness, Thomas r., son of
Michael Clarity, aged, p years.
For more than a year deceased was
patient sufferer from that most in
sidious of diseases, consumption.
Last fall he went to Arizona, in the
hope that the change of climate might
benefit him, but he derived little or no
benefit. The disease was too deep
seated to admit of relief although
everything that medical skill or devot-
ed nursing could do was, his. The de-
votion Of his sister, Mrs. TT. Murphy
has been beautiful indeed. He fought
heroically against the inevitable, and
through it all was a patient sufferer.
He was born at Howard Lake,
Wright Co.. and removed to Sank
Centre with his parents when he was
mere child and his entire life has
been spent here. AS boy and man he
has enjoyed the confidence and esteem
of large circle of friends. He was
of bright aud genial nature, incap-
able of anything low or mean, and had
promise of a long and useful future.
Stricken down in the vigor of young
manhood, his death is felt to be sore
affection, and to his aged father and
near relatives heartfelt sympathy is
extended.
When it became evident that there
was no hope, his brothers and near
relatives were summoned, and were
with him at the last. $50
After largely attended funeral SER
vices at the Irish Catholic church in
this city, his remains were taken to ST..
Paul for burial in the family lot.
His brother, Peter L. Clarity, a
division superintendent of the Great
Northern, provided special car, and
his remains were accompanied by a
large number of friends, among them
being his father his two brothers,
Peter L. and Frank, Mr.. and Mrs.
Murphy, Peter Clarity and daughter
of St. Cloud, Miss Nora Giblin, Miss
Della Connolly of ST. Paul, Mrs.
Hanrahan of ST. Paul, Michael Connel-
ly of Swanville, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Connolly, Mesdames Hogan and Ben
nett, Miss Louise Whitefeld. The car
was met in ST. Paul by large number
of friends who were present at the
interment.

I Peter McNally, brakeman on the
Great Northern railroad was so severe
ly injured in a railroad accident at Mel
rose on Saturday afternoo that he
died in four hours. The accident was
caused by the spreading of the rails
due it is thought. to the intense heat.
The train was an east bound freight

yards. McNally was about % years of
age and had worked on this division
several years. He was unmarried and

The Fodder Problem.

The drouth has cut the hay crop
in two. The grain yield will be
seriously reduced. Farmers must
look to stock for their years profits.
The greatest crop for stock is fod
der corn. 1t may be planted as late
as July LIST. By putting in crop
of fodder corn profits on live stock
can be saved. PloW and drill crib
corn on fields containing unprom-
ising grain. Every acre of fodder
corn planted before July fst will
winter five head of cattle. Fodder
corn is better feed than timothy
hay. Common dent corn is our
best variety for fodder corn. Plant
thickly in drills and cultivate.
The hay crop will be so short
that live stock must be sacrificed if
something cannot yet be done to
produce cheap rough feed. Com
mon corn planted thickly for fodder
is the best of all substitutes for
hay, it is our best hay crop. Thick
ly grown fodder corn is better
feed than timothy hay. This plan
has been extensively tried by
dairymen and others and all agree
that it is success. Ten to twenty
tons of green corn, or four to seven
tons of cured fodder corn can be
secured from an acre.
Every farmer whose hay crop is
short should at once secure seed
for a large crop of fodder corn.
The best place to secure this seed
is from his own crib. Dent corn IS
a little better than flint corn. Dig
into the crib and secure 100 ears.
Take ten kernels from each ear and
plant them in soil which can be
kept moist, a few days will tell
how much will grow. If over 90
per cent terminates it will do for
seed.

HOW TO PLANT CORN.

~ ilSlu SllOulI a. OliSS DS luouC
ready by blowing under wheat,
oats, barley. or other crop which
the drought has cut short. Harrow
the soil and plant bushel per acre
if all the seeds will grow; or two
bushels if only fifty per cent ger
inmates in the test. Use the COM
mon grain drill, allowing two tubes
to be open for every row, with
three feet between for the cultiva-
tor. Plant so as to have a stalk
every three inches apart in each
drill in the double row, and thus
secure heavy yield of fine stalks
and blades. A one-horse corn
drill, or a furrow into which the
corn is strewn thickly by hand are
other good methods of planting
fodder corn. A potato planter on
which man rides and lets the
corn run from his hand will put the
seed deep in the moist furrow,
where it, will terminate. The corn
should be drilled at this season Of
the year two, three or even four
inches -deep>in dry Soils.
MANAGEMENT OF THE CROP.
Harrow across the rows till the
corn is six inches high, then cult
vate till three feet high. When
the lower leaves begin to, turn
brown, or when the frost threatens,
harvest the fodder. The corn bind
er is by far the best machine. The
common binder will do well in
short corn. Stand the bundles up
in medium sized or small shocks
and tie at the top with binding
Irvine. In two weeks small shocks
may be collected into large shocks,
as far across as the stocks are long,
that the blades may be protected
and remain green and palatable;
These shocks may be left in the
field till wanted for feeding; or the
fodder may be drawn to the barn
yard and placed in narrow stacks
or in large shocks; or if very dry
it may be moved away in hay
bays.
This fodder may be used, cut OF
uncut, as hay; or the green un.
cured fodder corn may be stored
in silo and used even to better
advantage, as its succulencY will
make possible use of larger quaint
ties of wheat and oat straw. which
will probably be abundant even
the present year.

IN HIS SONS CLOTHES
Attire Of Passaic Clergyman
Startled His Con-
gregation.

Especial to "The Jersey City News."]
I'ASSAIC, Aug. IA, 190o.-Amazement was
depicted on the face of every member of
the Lodi Reformed Church when the pas
tor, the Rev. Mr.. Contant, appeared in
the pulpit on Sunday morning. Then each
OF the trustees and the deacons frowned,
the women looked at each other signifi-
cantly and some of the younger folk
giggled audibly.
A conservative man and conscientious
clergyman the Rev. Mr.. Conant always
had ben content to travel along beaten
paths, the sensational, whether in SER
mon, action or attire, is not to his liking.
Yet there he stood, facing his flock, in
garb the like of which never had been
worn by any other minister. Instead of
the sombre black and conventional fash
ion there was a sack coat of light gray
material. A glance told it never had been
intended for him; so small was it he dared
not move his shoulders, while the sleeves
weer SO short an inch or two of immacu-
late white cuff was revealed
The trousers were of light brown and
they, like the coat were much too small
for him, fitting him so closely that they
resembled tights, and so short they did
not meet his shoetops.
Though it could not be that he was in
norant of the astonishment caused by his
appearance, the pastor conducted the SER
vices as If nothing unusual had happened.
but his congregation was not in sym
pathy, and he knew it, and his discourse
was much shorter than is customary
In his closing prayer it was remarked
some that he dwelt forcibly on the crime
of theft and asked forgiveness for all
who had violated the commandment
against stealing.
Then when he had left the pulpit he
made it clear to his friends In the night
burglar had entered his house, and when
the intruder left he took with him every
article in the Rev. Mr. Contants ward
robe. so that when he awoke on Sunday
morning he was forced to eat breakfast in
his pajamas.
These, of course, were well enough for
the privacy of his home, but, even though
the weather was warm, it never would do
to appear in church attired in them, and
to church he must go. In his extremity
he was forced to don the garments which
had shocked his congregation. They be-
longed to his son, who is foot smaller
than he.
The burglar did not confine himself to
clothing, He had taken the pastors wal
let, in which was S71; his gold watch
and some other jewelry; few articles of
silverware and, what appeared to be
strange enough, the large Bibile which
is on the pulpit every Sunday, but is kept
in the pastors home at other times But
the robbers season for taking it was
revealed when the Bible was found in the
pastors front yard Torn from its cover
was the ornamental cross of gold.
Although the Rev. Mr.. Contant prayed
for forgiveness for all thieves, he is quite
willing that this particular fellow should
be punished. The police have been in
formed of the robbery.

WINSTERN'S WILD SHOT.
Tried to XIII Miss. Paris Because
Another Ran Was With His Girl

Travis Winstern, twenty-nine years old, of
No. 3e1 Railroad avenue, was this morning ar
ragned before Police Justice Hoos charged
with felonious assault on Sophia Paris, of No.
1923 Railroad avenue. All the parties to the
case except Miss Maris are colored. According
to the testimony Winstern went to Miss Pariss
house last evening to cali upon a young colored
woman named Williams. who lived with Miss
Paris. When he was ushered into the parior
he saw Miss Williams entertaining another
young GENT of color. Winstern said things
which Miss Paris says no gentleman would
have said and things which she did not like.
She did not hesitate to tell Winstern so and
he said more things, whereupon Miss Paris,
who is a large, stout lady, hustled him out
into the hall. In short time he made his
presence in the hall felt in manner which
caused Miss Paris to open the door. There
stood winstern with revolver in his hand.
Miss Williams sprang forward and tried to
push the man down stairs, but ne raised the
pistol and fired at Miss Paris, but fortunately
the bullet went wide of its mark. The police
were then called in and Winstern was locked
up Justice Hoos held him in $500 bail.

SOMEBODY BLUNDERED.
Call for Democratic Conven-
tion on September IL
Causes Much
Criticism.

Whoever is responsible for fixing the
Democratic State convention for Septem-
ber y next has raised chorus of re-
monstrances from Democrats not only in
Hudson, but from other counties and for
this reason it is the date of the annual
outing of the Robert Davis Association.
1t is, of course, an oversight, but a very
big one. The date of the outing was fixed
months ago and Chairman w. B. Gourley
in approving of the date should have re-
called that fact particularly, when he Is
an invited guest. It is too late now for
the arrangements for September u to be
set aside for another date so far as the
Davis Association is concerned. When it
is remembered that 5000 Democrats from
Hudson will be in line together with
prominent Democrats from all parts of the
State, it is clear that it will be grave
error to hold the State Convention too on
the same date. These facts viii be
brought to the attention of Chairman
Gourley and he doubtless will change
the date at once.

BIDS FOR AERIAL TRUCK.
Fire Department. Holds Special
Meeting to Make ARRANGEMENTS

Meeting to Make Arrangements,
A special meeting of the Board of Fire
Commissioners took place last evening, at
Fire Headquarters No. 241 Bay street, for
the purpose of advertising for bids for
new aerial truck, to be located on Wayne
street, near Brunswick street. The Com
missioners expect all bidders to have their
bids in before the melting of Monday, Au-
gust o..
The meeting takes place at eight
o'clock. The truck to be furnished will
ibe a seventy-five foot atrial one, with
a semi-trussed ladder fastened and
hinged to the front of the turn table and
operated by two upright screws. A certi-
fed check of $500 must accompany each
bid
The successful bidder will be required to
furnish bond with two suretfes in
the sum of fifty per cent. of the amount
of his bid for the faithful performance
of his contract.
The securing of the truck company In
the Fifth Ward section is mainly due to
the efforts of President Hennessey, who.
since he first became member of the
Board, has advocated the locating of one
in that section. 1t is badly needed. as the
district is thickly populated, and the near
est truck company to it is about a half
mile away.
President Hennessey has not been alone
in his efforts to secure this badly needed
Improvement to the department He has
been greatly assisted by Commissioner
Erickson, who since his adent as a Com
missioner has greatly improved the de-
rartp,apt
