DEWEY IN CHICAGO.
WINDY CITY OBSERVES MANIL a
BAY ANNIVERSARY.
Naval Victor Is the Center of In.
terest in the Parade Streets Radi
ant with Banners and Cheering
Multitude Gives an Ovation.

Admiral Dewey arrived in Chicago
Monday to attend the observance of the
second anniversary OF the Manila Bay
battle. He was a little ahead of time,
as he was at Manila bay two years ago.
A big crowd awaited the admiral and his
wife.
The admiral was met at South Chicago
by the general executive committee, head
ed by Mayor Harrison and George G.
Dewey. This committee extended an ON
cial welcome, the Mayor Offering the free
dom Of the city TO the distinguished guest
and assuring him that the town weald be
wide open" for him. In the afternoon
the admiral was given reception by the
Canadian-American Association. In the
evening there was an illumination of the
lake front, and later naval ball at the
Auditorium.
On Tuesday Admiral Dewey occupied
the post of honor in the great parade Civ
en- in honor of his victory over the Span
iards two years before. Down through
the streets, made radiant with banner and
bunting, with flag and festoon. rode the
admiral of the navy, the central figure
in swinging mass of color and music.
Ten thousand men, in resplendent uni
forms of blue and gold, of scarlet and
gray, trooped before and after him. Half
a hundred bands blared the brassy notes
of soul-stirring marches, score of fife
corps shrieked the shrill measures of war
tunes. horses pranced, flags waved, sabers
flashed and an uHcountablc multitude
watched the spectacle.
George Dewey viii probably remember
AZ !. ~ L ~
stand in Chicago. 1t may not have been
as spectacular as the naval pageant
which New York arranged for him, nor
as long as some other parades he has
seen, but it was brilliant procession.
There were regulars, national guards
men, Mexican and civil war veterans,
man-o'- warsmen, soldierly youngsters
who marched like old campaigners, and
Chicago's representatives in business and
the professions. Eight divisions of them
there were, and they swept through the
cheering lines of packed humanity, under
the banners and the steamers, past the
admiral and his party like an army
marching in triumph of a conqueror.
Chicago had turned out TO do honor to
a hero. Political affiliations were forgot
ten. All remembered the terse sentences
flashed under the ocean from Hong Kong
two years ago. That was the keynote OF
the Thought along the line of march. That
the admiral enjoyed the sight and the
sounds Of his welcome was shown by his
smiling face as he passed along.

trade itself is still in a somewhat Hkset-

Chicago.-The most noticeable feature
Of the grain markets during the week
was tbs marked change of sentiment as
regards wheat. For some time back the
feeling generally has been hearish. Crop
prospects have been most CHEEKY and
with the time for May deliveries drawing
near it has been felt that the natural
course of the market was downward.
Thursday the first evidence of a change
in sentiment was shown when France
was found TO be in such disastrous cor
dition regarding her crops. Her mmister
predicted that because Of injury from
various causes the country would &c COM
PEELED to depend upon foreign sources for

condition. Kansas is complaining oe
cAinch bugs and in some parts of the
State the Hessian fly has appeared Liv
eFpool has been bearish but reports that
Argentine arrivals from the interior are
falling off. Because of the uncertainty
of the conditions trade has been quiet.
The price of wheat is about Is ceLts be-
low the average, hence there is no great
inducement to SELL Corn continues to
show the frm undertone that has charac-
terized that market for SO long. Too
much rain has fallen to be OF benefit to
the crop, the truth being that planting
has been hiLdered considerably by the
wet weather. Stocks are light and there
is good demand for the article, especially
| from across the water.

Some persons are disposed to use
green cut bone only in winter, but
small quantity fed once day in spring
and summer will greatly promote lay
ing and be of much advantage to mott
ing hens. The bone-cutter does not
grind bones, but "cuts" those fresh
from the butcher, and pound of green
cut bones, given at night to twenty
fowls, will cost but little and prove
beneficial in promoting laying. For
geese and ducks there is no food that
will show better results, especially for
those that are growing, as it supplies
the elements of growth and thus pre-
vents them from having leg weakness.
Do not give too much, but use it mod
erately in connection with a variety of
other foods.-Kansas Farmer.

Oueenless Hives,

If any of the hives have number OF
bees hanging idly around the entrance
during March and April, and do not
carry pollen like other normal colonies,
it is a pretty sure indication that they
are queenless. They will need watch
Ing until some pleasant day when they
can be examined. Qucenless colonies
are in danger of being robbed, for dis.
couraged bees are not inclined to pro
tect their stores as a prosperous colony
would. If they are not provided with

Hon. ]. Hale of Connecticut says
that COW peas can be grown wherever
corn will grow, and he is strongly in
favor of their being sown both fol-
feed and to turn under as q manurial
crop. We must yield to such good
authority as Mr. Hale, though we had
thought from what we have read about
the COW pea that it was a very uncer-
tain crop as far north as Massachu-
sets. We believe the most profitable
combination for the farmers in New
England have been cows, chickens,
corn and clover, but we may have to
add COW peas to the list when we learn
more about them.

A method for measuring and finding
the number of acres in a field shaped
as shown in the accompanying dia-
gram is to add together the widths of
the two ends, halye the sum thus OBJ
tanned, and multiply this by the length.
The result will give the area of the
field. The problem is one Of the SIM
plest in geometry. When the two
widths are added together and the sum
halved, the width will be precisely as

EARTHQUAKE ONLY JARRED IT
The Damage to Muir Glacier in Alaska Much Less Than Was
 Reported.

The reported destruction of the fa- nous Muir glacier on the .hores of Glacier bay, Alaska, by an earthquake last year is pronounced untrue by William E. Pearce, who got within four miles of the glacier in August of this year on the excursion steamer Queen, says the New York Sun. Pearce says:
 The Muir glacier is just as grand as ever. The trouble this season has been that vessels have not been able to get close enough for passengers to see it. The earthquake shock off large masses of ice from the face of the glacier, which, when floating in the bay, appear as huge icebergs and block the passage of vessels. By next sea- son the bay will be clear again and the glacier can be approached as in former years. .,.
 '"rhe damage by the earthquake is but as a drop in the bucket. l can bet ter explain it's work by saying that-it took off the face of the glacier for 5l feet or so. while the main body extend. back, visible to the eye, 20 miles. Tn. glacier runs back from it's face on Gla cier bay to the head of the Davidson glacier, which faces on Lynn canal, distance of 45 miles.

SWISS NATIONAL INSURANCE.
Report Giving Some Interesting Facts; About a Propo.sd Law That
 Was Recently Defeated.

In report to the state department Consal General Dubois, at St. Gall, gives some interesting facts about the proposed Swiss accident and military insurance law, says the Washington Post. This law, which was recently defeated by two-thirds vote, pre- scribes obligatory insurance in cases of sickness and accident. The govern ment's share of the expense of the entire premium of the insurance was to be 20 per cent, the labor 20 per cent, while the employers of labor were to bear co per cent. The text of the proposed law contained 400 ar ticles, among which was the military insurance clGuse, which met consider able opposition by the military class es. The project was defeated this time by 105,Goo votes. Glarus was the only province out of the 22 cantons which gave a majority in favor of the proposition. There are various causes which helped to defeat this measure In agricultural districts 1t was con- sidered to be of advantage to the in dustrial centers. Great dissatisfac- tion was shown by the peopl- engaged In houss induStries,. because the law was made compulsory for some and optional for others. Strong opposi- tion was met with among the large manufacturers. especially those of the silk industry, because they were con- vinccd that the law would tax them heavier than they were being taxed under the compulsory system which is at present in existence.
