LOOK FOR HAMlLToNS GRAVE.
The Remains of the Son of the Man
Who Fought Burr Lie in
Sacramento. 49,.

The Historical Society of Wisconsin
is making a search for the spot in Cali
fornia where William S. Hamilton, son
of Alexander Hamilton, lies buried.
The burial place of the son of the great
statesman was revealed as in the city
cemetery of Sacramento.
Alexander Hamilton, it will be re-
membered, met his death in duel with
Aaron Burr. Young William S. Ham,
ilton then challenged Burr to a duel,
but the latter declined because of his
extreme youth. Hamilton was of an
adventurous spirit and came to Cali
fornia. He died in Sacramento Of the
cholera, August z, 1850. The monu-
ment over his grave bears a bronze
medallian of his distinguished father,
donated by the citizens of Quincy.

HAVE NOT RISEN IN PRICE.
New York Dealers Deny That Ola.
monds Are Moro Expensive
Than Formerly.

In spite of many articles which have
appeared recently stating that the
price of diamonds had risen since the
beginning of the Boer war, the whole
sale dealers of New York city are
unanimous in saying there has been alb
solutely no advance in the price of
gems.
It is admitted that diamonds are a
trife higher at present than they were
a year ago, but the dealers claim that
the loss falls upon them and not upon
the retail buyer. The wholesalers
claim that the prices of the stones sold
over the counter have remained prac-
tically the same as at the beginning of
the war, and, should hostilities cease
tomorrow between the British and
the Beers, the value of the gems would
neither advance nor decrease.
The slight advance which occurred
shortly before the war is assigned by
many to natural causes; others affirm
that the diamond syndicate in Africa,
which is controlled by Cecil Rhodes,
foresaw the war and advanced prices,
trusting that the public would think
that the war had lessened the output.
In view of the recent relief of Kim
berley, events will probably demon
strate in the near future what truth
there may be in the latter conjecture.

STARTS FAST IN BAKERY.
Woman to Attempt to Duplicate Rath-

ing circumstances

Mrs. Herman Kolb, of Nyack, N. j.,
who is too stout for her own satisfac-
ton, tipping the scales at 238, has
started out to reduce herself to suit
able weight by fasting. The idea
came to her from reading of Milton
Rathbun's long fast. She had already
tasted seven days, and is so pleased
with her loss of weight that she is de-
termined to continue for the full 40
days.
She wants to bring herself down to
200 pounds, and her neighbors say she
has the will to do it. She took her
last meal on February %. Since then
she has taken no food. Her only re-
freshment is large quantities of spring
water. She lost 4A pounds the first
six days.
Her appetite is good at all times,
she says, and it has been sorely aggra-
waited by the fact that she spends her
days behind the counter of her hus-
bands bakery surrounded by every
variety of tempting cakes and pies.

UPHOLDS SH LA THING
Admiral Dewey Strongly 0pposel
:. Change In Warships.
Says Sheathed Vessels Have Great
Advantage Over Those Not Thus
Protected-Experien In
Asiatic SQUADRON.

Admiral Dewey drove spike into
the guns Of the opponents of sheathing
in the navy and took occasion to COM
ment upon the intelligence Of the ex-
perts who are responsible for sending
back to congress the law, which au-
thorized six large ships originally in
tended to be sheathed. There was q
hearing at the house naval committee
and Secretary Long and Admiral
Dewey appeared to give their views in
regard to the new ships.
The only official advocate of sheath
ing was Rear Admiral Hichborn, chief
constructor, who submitted long re-
ply to his critics on, the board, with
tables which show that his position is
sustained by foreign practice and re-
suits. Secretary Long promised to
send his rejoinder to the committee in
a day or two.
The committee asked Admiral Dewey
for his views on sheathing and he gave
them in emphatic terms in favor of the
system. He was able to furnish specific
instances of the advantages of sheath
ing from among the ships on the
Asiatic station. He said that aside
from the possibilities of galvanic &C.
tion-which is denied in Hichborn's
report-there was much to commend
the idea. The revenue cutter McCul-
loch at Manila was the only sheathed
ship, and it was kept uninterruptedly
in service between Manila and Hong
Kong. He noticed that ships newly
locked had vastly greater speed over
ships which were not sheathed and had
not been locked every few months. !:
This meant great deal, he added,
when vessels were on foreign station
in time of war. He volunteered the in
formation that he was surprised that
experts could be found to oppose
sheathing." Admiral Dewey's views
made profound impression on the
committee and may settle the mooted
question of sheathed or unsheathed
ships for all time. Several members of
the committee said that they were in
favor of allowing the provision for
sheathing to stand and of requiring the
ships authorized this year to be
sheathed. Rear Admiral Hichborn's
final report, which disposes of the al
legged chemical results of sheathing,
and which quotes literally from Brit
ish expert opinion, will add to the
Dewey testimony.

TELLS or RICE cULIURE

produced in this country, and 1e5, 0oo,-
600 pounds were imported. DR.. s.. "a.
Knapp, Of the agricultural department,
has written q pamphlet in which he
deals with the possib ilities OF this coun-
try as a rice producer. He says tho
outlook for the future extension Of
the industry is promising.
According to the best estimates,
there are about Il, 900 acres Of land
In the five states bordering On the
Gulf OF Mexico well suited to rico c,,l-
ture. The amount which can be sue.
cessfully irrigated by present meth
DDS, using the available surface and ar.
tesian flows, does not exceed 5000 900
acres. The best results require rotation
OF crops, consequently only one-half
that amount, or 100 900 acres, would
be In rice at any time. 81.
The remainder Of the II, ooo, 900 acres
could also be brought into cultivation,
were 1T necessary, but the cost would
perhaps be prohibitive. at an aver
age yield Of ten barrels per acre l,5o0,-
600 acres would produce nearly $780,
600 pounds of clean rice, nearly six
times the amount of the present con-
sumption.
There is no satisfactory reason why
the United States should not grow all
its own rice and become an exporter.
The employment of machinery in the
rice fields of the southwest similar to
that used in the wheat fields of CAL
ifornia and the Dakotas is revolution
ling the methods of cultivation anil
greatly reducing the cost. The Amer
lean grower, employing higher priced
labor than any other rice grower in
the world, ultimately will be able to
market his crop at the least cost and
the greatest profit.
