lively that the way should be allowed

tiv ely that the way should be allowed
as a way of necessity.
Authorities differ as to how urgent
the necessity must be in order to give
rise 10 a way of necessity, but this is
not a case in which such a way can be
implied at all, however urgent the ne
cessity. A way OF necessity may be i'm
piled from a grant in favor of either the
grantor or the grantee, and cannot be
implied in favor of or against a stran-
ger to the grant. One cannot take the
pi ioperty of another against his wHl for
his own private use even for compen-
satiOn, however much he may need it.
Neither the Commissioner nor the
Judge could lawfully appropriate the
defendants private property to the use
Uf the plaintiff. The statute recognizes
rhis by requiring that the decision shall
be in conformity with vested rights and
shall be just and equitable between the
parties-the defendant as well as the
plaintiff

ment road as public road from the
end of his way to the new road, does
not appear 1t was assumed in the
lower courts that he had not, but that
the old roadbed was the defendant s
private property.
The decision of the Circuit Judge
cannot be reversed because he gave
wrong reasons. provided he came to a
correct conclusion. II cannot be re-
versed In this case as being contrary to
the law and the evidence. which is the

1t is cultivated in a way that would
surprise our bonanza farmers. The
grain is first sowed in seed beds and
the stalks transplanted, plant by plant,
like rice. The stalks are set out in
rows about six inches apart, in little
lunches of five or six stalks. The crop
is kept free from weeds. 1t is hoed
and sprinkled with liquid manure.
In the larger wheat regions which
Captain Rich saw the wheat is sown
with rude drills which drop three rows
at time. The crop is hoed and scien-
tifically cultivated, although the piow-
ing is very shallow.
Several hundred miles above here in
the Yangtse valley the farmers plant
their wheat in hills. They hoe it regu-
larly and weed it. They cut it with a
sickle and fail it out on a threshing
floor.
A BIG CHANCE FOR AMERICAN
CORN.
Uncle Sam should profit by the ap-
preaching famine to introduce Ameri-
can corn. The beggars will be legion,
and thousands will starve. Ship loads
of corn might be sent and the food thus
introduced. Sooner or later China will
be our greatest corn market. When
the Nicaragua canal is completed the
Ichief fleet of the Pacific will be the corn
feet Hundreds of steamers VIII then
carry Indian corn from the Mississippi
valley to the countless millions on the
opposite side of the Pacific. Asia has
more than a half billion people who
want the cheapest food that will sus-
tain life.
There is no cereal that has as much
lnutriment as corn. 1t is better and
cheaper than wheat, rice, or any other
and we can raise enough to supply the
world. Our corn crop is our biggest
crop. ~Ve raise about two billion bush
els every year, and even as things now
The Pacific commercial advertiser., 1900-12-28

lare this has a value almost double that
of the wheat crop. With the increased
demand from Asia 1t will be worth
much more and the area can be so in
creased that we can feed the world. At
present about three-fourths of our corn
is consumed in the United States, while
about half our wheat is exported. In
the future there will be as great a de-
mand for corn as for wheat.
FAMINE AN OPENING WEDGE.
The coming famine should be the
opening wedge There will be a great
demand for cheap bread stuffs, and If
corn can be sent out at a low price 1t
can be sold A large amount could
be given away at a profit. The cooks
here are organized into a trades union
or guild If a few of these cooks were
taught how to prepare the product for
the public restaurants the food might
soon become popular. 1t could be also
given out through the famine kitchens
and charitable restaurants, which at
such times are often established by the
Chinese, and in this way might get a
foothold which would be permanent.
So far our people have not appre-
ciated this market. Some of the Chi
nese have tried to get corn and failed.
1t was only last year that one of them,
according to John Fowler, the United
States Consul at Chefoo. sent an order
to the United States for $4,000 DusnelS
of our corn. He offered to pay $4,000
dollars in gold for it provided it was
delivered in ten weeks, but notWith-
standing this, Consul Fowler could not
| find an American who would take the
order. He cabled the offer to the State
/ Department at Washington, but got no
reply Either the State Department
could not find an American who cared
to sell 60 900 bushels of corn at sl25 a

ON THE MISSISSIPPI.

Fifty years ago a Mississippi river
steamboat OF the name of Bon Accord,
Captain De Haven, piled between Ga
lena and st. Louis, carrying pig lead
on her down trip and bringing back
among other things green hides for a
tanner of the name of Jesse Grant,
whose son afterwards became known,
recalls Victor Smith, in the New
York Press. She was originally low
er river boat as her name and that of
her captain would imply The third
pilots name was Clemens, a royster-
Gus, boisterous sort of fellow, much
given to dance and song, and the only
person on board who could jump up
and crack his heels together three
times before coming down. When his
turn at the wheel was ended he would
come out on the deck singing:
Wheel about and turn about and do
just so,
And every time YOU wheel about Won
jump Jim Crow.
lie accompanied the song with a fu-
rlous jig, and at the end sprang into
tue air, struck his heels together three
times ana came down with a concus-
sion that shook the whole forward end
ol the upper deck. The captain. who
was oIten On the deck below. would
snake MS finger at song-and-dancer
ana say: Young man, il you do that
again l Will throw you overheard. -
ahd clemens would reply in an aside:
III ne does he will have to upset the
boat, or The captain has no idea of
running good suit of clothes by anv
such foolishness." The captain was a
blond, thirty years old, as handsome
as picture, and good deal of an
athlete, as was Clemens, who was
much younger. This third pilot after
ward took to writing, which brought
MIN some money, but rich wife
brought him more. The universe
hlCws him today as Mark Twain.

the Hospital for the Convalescent Poor of New

old house has been undergoing repairs.
James Ciarcio, of Mount Vernon an expert land
scape gardener, is contractor, IN charge of part
of the work For time he has had in his
employ a large number of men. Recently dissatis-
faction manifested itself among the laborers owing
to Ciarcio's tardiness in making payments. Many
times tke made application for their money,
but, 1t is said, the contractor told them that Mr.
Iselin had not yet paid him, and that he un-
able TO give them their money. The aborers learned
that the contractor had received from Mr.. Iselin's
representative full payment for the work he had
performed. Several Of the laborers struck and de-
manded their money. but their appeals were in
vain.
The disappointed became violent yesterday

Michelo-agsin demanded their money and threat
ened to kill Ciarcio If he did not pay them. The
contractor endeavored to avoid them but Marguil
