Offers Made to Directors of st. Vim
cents Orphan Asylum.
The board of directors of St. Vincent 8
Asylum is considering the matter of the
selection of site for the new home for
the asylum. which. 1t is expected, will be
built some time during the course of the
next two years. Under the terms of the
agreement with Messrs. Woodward &
I4othrop for the purchase of the property
now occupied by the institution on G street
between 10th and 18th streets northwest a
payment of $4,000 was recently made and
the balance of the purchase money. $780,
600. is In notes. which do not bear l. rest
until after the property is turned over to
the new owners. This will be within two
years from the date of the agreement.
The preliminary payment having been
made. the board of directors has taken up
the subject of the choice of new location
with the view of reaching prompt
conclusion as possible. so that the work of
erecting the buildings can be begun at an
early date Since the announcement of the
sale of the present property, last fall, and
1t became known that a new location was
to be chosen. the attention of the members
of the board has been called to a number
of pieces of property, inside and outside of
the limits of the city. which were thought
to be available for the purpose A meeting
of the board was held today, when all these
offers were brought together. and 1t was
found that the aggregate number was quite
large, some fifty or sixty in number
No formal notice of the requirements has
been made, but in a general way it has
been understood there would be needed at
least ten acres of ground. The offers made
1t is understood. include tracts of land in
practically all sections in the vicinity of
the city. The offers made are to be sched-
uled. and at the next meeting the list will
be examined. 1t is probable before a choice
is made the members of the board will visit
some of the sites offered.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
Testimony as to Agricultural Conditions in
the South.
Prosperity Expected to Follow the
New Development in That
Section.

Mr.. John Franklin CrOwel1 of Brooklyn,
N. Y. was before the industrial commission
at the Bliss building today. and talked on
| the subject of agriculture.
Vice Chairman Phillips called the COM
mission 70 order and Mr.. A. L. Harris of
Ohio led in the examination. The witness
said his business was that of a teacher and
writer on economics and sociology. His in
terest ir agriculture was entirely scientific
and not financial. --sz ia. r.s.- 81 arms
Mr.. Crpwen exhibited chart which
showed the comparative Importance of
farming in the United States. The capital
invested ir agricultural pursuits was
shown to De $4,000 100000, with S.466 1858
workers: that of manufactures being &c.

ing s1,3to.000,0Oo with 6S6,41o workers.
Speaking of agricultural colonies in the
United States. he said these colonies had
maintained q high agricultural standard
hetter than had the American farmers.

the education of their children and in the
betterment of their farms.
New Development in the South
The witness said he thought a new gen.
Grafton In the south would develop a pros
porous agricultural industry, but 1t would
be very different from the old agriculture
o. that section Cotton to meet foreign
demand had been the purpose of the old
agriculture. while in the future the local
demand about manufacturing communities
would be the basis Of such industry. The
trouble with the agricultural industry of
the south was that it lacks today directive
genius. That he Thought would be sup
piled by the new generation provided the
people are properly educated. He thought
the most ambitious people In the south to-
day are to be found i'll the colored families.
He thought the schools do not properly
educate the children in agricultural mat
rural districts are the worst in the Coun-
try. He said that the cost of educa ton per
pupil in the rural parts of Pennsylvania
was but. half of the expenditure made in
Philadelphia. He was sure that If the
cities had the same school facilities as have
the rural districts the people would not
move away; they would remain in such
communities.
He said that farmers organizations had
going to the cities. though that tendency
Is still very great. He said that while three
times as much capital is invested in agri-
culture than IN manufactures the per cap
tia product of manufacturing is $500 against
$3.50 in agriculture. If the farmers boys
had these figures before them, he said
they would be likely to go to the cities In
order to share, If possible, in this larger
per capita earning.

up the crews of the men-of-war as these
boys make better men for such work than
