SUMATRA TOBACCO
Successfully Grown Near the Hart
ford Experiment station.

successfully Grown Near the Hart
ford Experiment station.
WASHINGTON, December 30.-The
publication of the successful results
of the experiments conducted by the
Division OF Soils of the United States
Department OF Agriculture in
ton with the Connecticut Experiment
Station in the production of Sumatra
tobacco, near Hartford, and the subse-
quent sale of the crop to a Kansas City
firm, has caused widespread interest in
the experiments among tobacco men.
Numerous communications on the sub
ject have been received by th~e&depart-
ment and two suggestions made as to
the ann In which the tobacco should
have been disposed of. The first was,
that tobacco leaf grown by the govern
ment should not have been sold but
should have been distributed in small
quantities to dealers in leaf tobacco
and other Interested persons. The 9TH
er was, that If it had to be sold it
should have been auctioned off at New
York, Philadelphia and other points
so as to give all leaf dealers an equal
chance.
In reply to these communications
and suggestions, Prof. Milton Whit
ney, chief of the Division of Soils,
states that the tobacco was grown by
and was the property Of the Connecti-
cut Tobacco Experiment Company,
which is virtually a state experiment
station, and wa sold by the company,
the department having no rights in the
matter. The crop was merely grown
under the direction of the department.
Prof. Whitney thinks the proposition
TO sell at auction at a number of places
is a good one, and says If the work is
continued next year and a larger crop
is TO be handled this method of dis
posing of it should be adopted and
doubtless will be by the Connecticut
people.
Growers are again warned against
attempting to grow this tobacco ex-
cept when there is a reasonable chance
of success.
So far as known the successful
growth Of Sumatra will be confined to
Florida and Connecticut.

NEW YORK, December SA.-The BIZ
ennial meeting of the Union OF Ortho-
dox Hebrew congregations was held
today in this city. The meeting was
attended by representatives from nine
ty-six Orthodox congregations in the
United States and Canada.
Rev. DR.. n. p. Mendez. president of
the Union, occupied the chair.
The Union was organized two and a
half years ago for the purpose of adj
vancing the interests of positive bib
lical, rabbinical and historical Judaism.
Not being a synod the meeting has no
authority to amend religious questions.
but as an assembly OF representative
men and congregations it was the in
tention of the meeting to take such
steps as they could for the advance
ment of the interests of the creed.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
That a committee be appointed to
form unions for the purpose OF in
structing the young in English.
THAT on the eve of all Jewish fes-
rivals and holidays an explanation of
the significance of the same be sent
to the Associated Press, together with
a request that they publish the same.
THAT the executive committee take
such steps as they may deem advisable
to further Sabbath observance,
THAT a committee be appointed to
communicate with the national gov-
eminent at Washington asking them to
provide chaplains in the United States
army and navy to minister to the re-
ligious instruction of the Hebrews in
that branch OF the public service"
A resolution providing for special
services for the instruction OF the
young brought forth a storm of oppo-
sition ana the resolution was finally
referred to the executive COMMITTEES
for such action as they may deem prop
er after careful consideration. The
majority of those who spoke Oh this
resolution were OF the opinion that any
special service would tend to lessen
the respect which the children would
have for the regular service and hat
in no way could they be so effectively
taught to reverence the divine service
than by participating in it in common
with their elders.
officers for 1901 were elected as fol-
lows:
Rev. Mr.. Mendes, president; Rev.
De Solo, Montreal; L. N. Denbitz, Lou
%isville: DIR. A. F~riedenwald, of Balti-
more. and DR.. K. III. Sarasch. Of New

CHICAGO, December 30.-Prof. N.
VI. Mangasarian, a well known Chicago
congregational clergyman, tonight de-
livered a lecture on The close Of the
century at the Grand Opera House.
He said in part:
Let the American people celebrate
the birth Of the Twentieth Century
by a memorable act-give liberty 70
the Philippines. Victor Hugo used TO
say that no festival or celebration was
complete which did not bring amnesty
or pardon to some people; let us par
don the Filipinos for rebeIling against
u sovereignty, If that is the crime
we charge them with and in addition
let us confer upon them liberty. Let
America establish a divine precedent
that Of giving freedom freely and
without price to a people who prefer
liberty tt life. Liberty has hitherto
been wrested from rulers at the point
Of the bayonet; let us have liberty in
the Twentieth Century without the
bayonet. Our example. l am hopeful,
will become a noble epidemic: Russia,
Turkey and Great Britain will go and
do likewise; and Poland, Armenia and
South Africa will ono more know the
sweets Of liberty. Such an act on our
part will deal the death blow to war
which a great man has called He'll
and will usher in the thousand years
OF peace.
Let US baptize the Twentieth Gem
fury in the name Of peace. liberty and
progress. Let us christen her-the
peoples century. Let us ask OF the
new century, a religion without cup
erstition; politics without war; art
and the science without matsrialism
and wealth without misery or wrong

The News I'm washington.

WASHINGTON, December 30.-The

les had been directed to sign the joint
note, is a source Of satisfaction to Of
ficials here as indicating a disposition
on the part of the Chinese government
to heed the desire of the powers that
once and the present unsatisfactory
condition of affairs terminated. The
Emperor, it was explained, would in
struct his agents to obtain the best
terms possible. One of the principal
objections said to have been made by
the Chinese to the location of any
great number of legislations guards in
Pekin is that these guards would be a
Elenace to the existing Chinese gov
ernment. AS has been already stat
I'd in these dispatches the United
States government does not desire the
absolute demolition of the Taku forts
but simply their dismantlement so
that ready access to the Chinese capt.
tai of a foreign force would not be
prevented. The demand of the pow
ers in the joint note, however, was for
the destruction of the forts. The in
quiries said t o have been made by
the Chinese government of the en-
voys, of which inquiries, however, no
official intimation has been received
from Mr.. Conger, have been regarded
by the officials of this government as

PEKIN, December 30.-The Chinese
plenipotentiaries have been unexpect-
edly ordered to sign the preliminary
joint note, and have notified the for

The Chinese themselves were great
" astonished at receiving the imper-
ial instructions. Neither Ii Hung
Chang o Prince Ching had expected
success in p~ersuading the court under
ten days.
The Emperor's instructions are to
agree fully to the note, but to endeav-
or to get the best terms possibly, par
ticularly in the matter of limiting the
number of the legation guards and al

Lii Hung Chang's health is bad, and
it is doubtful whether he will be able
to do more than affix his signature to
an instrument delegating his powers
to Prince Ching until another plenipo-
Tertiary has been appointed. He
dressed this morning and was carried
in a chair to the residence of Prince
Ching, with whom he held a long con-
~sultation. Prince Ching then called
upon the Doyen Of the diplomatic

1t is also asserted that Emperor Kwang

Sian Flu to accompany him to Pekin.
The Mohammedan rising in the prov

AS TO MARRIAGE.
States.

In an article on marriage con-
tributed by Winifred Black to the
New York Journal occur these
passages:
"Marry,. by all means, happily
if you can, unhappily if you must,
If it turns out badly makes the
best of it. If you are worth your
salt the misery you undergo will
help and not harm the develop
ment of your especial talent. The
man whose success in life is mar
red by marriage would have found
something else to mar it if he had
remained single all his days"
who knows how much Xantip-
pc had to do with the philosophy
which made Socrates famous? A
happy marriage is beautiful set
ting to any life; an unhappy mar
risge is a poor setting. But nei-
ther of them can permanently af-
feet the real gem of character or
attainment in itself"
"Is marriage a bar to profess
sional success with women? 1t is
not. 1t is q help to success. The
woman who never loved man
we'll enough 10 throw the whole
world aside as q foolish bauble for
bis sake is only half a woman.
The woman who never held against
her heart the child of the man she
loves is but a foolish infant, pratt
ting of things she wots not of, be-
side the humblest creature alive
who has felt the divinity of mo-
therhood. Marriage is the only
key that uplocks the closed heart
Of the world to a woman"
