Enshnrsh Trial BEGINS.

PITTsFIELD. Mass, July 18.-The trial
of Stuart Fosburgh, charged with kill
ing his own sister, May L. Fosburgh,
last August, was begun today The ar
rest of Fosburgh caused a wave of ex-
citement all over New England. The
members of the Fosburgh family con-
tended that robbers entered the house
and attacked Robert Fosburgh and his
father and that the young womSn was
killed by a bullet fired by burglar.
The prosecution is based on the theory
that the shooting was the result of a
bitter family quarrel in which young
Fosburgh, using his own revolver, shot
his sister, although intending the bullet
for another member Of the family.

PLANT POTATOES.

Anyone who could put a few
carloads OF Irish potatoes on the
market just now would have g good
thing, in fact, would he almost as
lucky as If he had struck an oil
gusher. The high price Of pota-
toes is likely to prevail through
ont the fall and winter, as the
northern crop is almost nal, ow-
ing to dry weather, and IN north
ern ATTITUDES it is now too late to
plant and mature crop this fall.
Farther south, however and espe-
ciallv 10 South Texas there Is still
time to mature a crop before frost,
and the farmer who has already
p9an.ed or who does so at once
may realize very handsome profits
on his product in few months.
Texas Farm and Ranch gives It's
readers the advice TO plant potatoes
at once, and the Galveston News
also says: "Now is the time to
put in potatoes a crop can be
made between now and the season
of frost
Here on the lower Rio Grande
frost comes later than in any other
section of the Union, except per
haps in Southern Florida and
Southern California, and potatoes
planted now would have ample
time TO mature. Hence all our
farmers should turn to and put IN
as big a crop-as they can handle.

THE census OF 1901 shows that
fatalities per hundred thousand
deaths due to consumption are
$40 less than IN 1890, and where
as in the latter year this die
headed the list in the number "
fatalities, the last census puts If
second in the list The remark
able decrease is due, of course,
to the great progress made by
medical science in the treatment
of consumption, and is most en-
couraging to witness. Doubtless
another decade will place this
disease much further down the
list, as wonderful progress Is
still being made in its treatment
as we'll as in the prevention OF Its
further spread.

EPWORTHiANS ENTHUSIACTiC
Ten Thousand Heard Bishop Joyce
Preach In Mechanics Pavilion.


Preach In Mechanics Pavilion.
San Francisco, July 22.-The reli-
gious enthusiasm aroused by the in
ternational convention of the Epworth
League here had it's elimination at
the grand meeting held yesterday, the
last of the gathering at the Mechanics
pavilion About 10000 persons were
in attendance, and not seat was
vacated until the conclusion of the
sermon preached by Bishop Joyce,
president of the league. His theme
was Faith In Christ, and no more elo-
quent address has been heard since
the assembling of the convention. At
it's conclusion the bishop was rendered
an impromptu reception, not being al
lowed to leave the platform until a
large part of the great congregation
had grasped his hand.
The influence of the league was not
alone felt in the central meeting All
over the city, in churches of many
denominations, services were held, and
the local pulpits were occupied by
visiting divines. At Grace Episcopal
church, where Rev. J. M. Buckley, of
New York, preached, it was impossible
to gain admittance long before the
time announced for opening of the
doors, and in none of the churches
was vacant pew. Love feasts were
held in the early morning in more than
a dozen places, including the Japanese
and Chinese missions.

they can call it reform ticket" and
thy can call 1t reform ticket" and
seek to persuade Republicans of this
city to vote their local Wanamaker
ticket, but placing cross mark in the
circle at the head Of the Democratic
column, which would mean a vote for
all the candidates Of the Democracy,
state and local.
If the Wanamaker plans are success
fully carried out, this would mean a

The Savannah morning news., 1901-03-12

A good many years ago, when the son
of Hetty Green, the richest woman in the
world, was a small boy, she paid a visit
to Chicago and stopped at one of the
principal hotels. Her son accompanied
her, relates the Chicago Chronicle. He
was much like other boys, in spite of his
mothers wealth. and found that pillow
fighting was just the thing to work off
his surplus energy. With some other
young boys who were at the hotel as COM
panions he used to so up to one of the
top floors for romp with the pillows In
various rooms that were unoccupied.
The housekeeper was willing TO let the
boys have a good time, but she couldnt
be responsible for the destruction of the
hotel property. Bristling with indigna-
ton, she went with her complaint to Het-
ty Green, and began excitediy:

Lawson STATES HIS POSITION.

Mr.. Thomas w Lawson, the millionaire
copper king of Boston, who is having the
yacht Independence built al an expense to
himself of about $4,000, with the view
of having her chosen to defend the
Americas cup in the contest with Sir
Thomas Lipton's yacht Shamrock, has
taken part in the controversy as to
whether there is a chance for his yacht
to be chosen as the cup defender. The
opinion has been expressed that as he is
not member of the New York Yacht
Club his boat cannot sail in the trial
races, unless she is placed under the flag
of member of the club, and that Mr..
Lawson cannot become a member of the
club, because there is opposition to him,
and he cannot be invited to take part
in the trial races because the club on one
occasion refused to receive him as a MEM
Der. In his statement to the public Mr..
Lawson says that he did not intend to
take part in the controversy at this time,
but yielded to the advice of friends.
What he says is, in brief, that he intends
to sail his yacht under his own name and
under his own colors He sees no reason
why his yecht should not meet in a con-
test the Columbia, the defender of the cup
last year, and the new yacht which the
Herreshoffs are building to defend the
cup this year. The American people want
the best boat to be the defender of the
cup, and If he has that boat he does not
see why it should not be chosen. He
doesn't want to be member of the New
York Yacht Club and has never asked 10
be. He regards the members of the club
as honorable, straightforward men, and he
does not doubt that they will do exact
justice in dealing with his desire to have
his yacht win the position of defender of
the cup. When his boat is finished he win
announce that he desires to race any boat
in American waters, the Columbia and the
new Herreshoff boat preferred. If his
boat is beaten he will retire without
murmur and win do what he can to aid
the yacht chosen as the defender to be
successful.
Mr.. Lawson's position seems to be a
fair one 1t is doubtful if the New York
Yacht Club will permit any technicalities
to stand in the way of the best boat be-
ing chosen to defend the cup. There may
be some members OF the New York Yacht
Club who will endeavor to ignore Mr..
Lawson and his boat. simply because he
is not a member of the club but It Is
doubtful If the majority of the club viii
take that course. AS Americans they will
be more anxious to have the best Amerl-
can boat chosen to meet the British boat
than that the rules of their club shall be
observed in every particular

WILL THE CUBANs ACCEPT.

In our dispatches yesterday it was
stated that the radical element of the
Cuban Constitutional Convention still
showed no intention of accepting the
Platt amendments, and that some of the
leading papers were urging the people to
take a firm stand against them so as to
make the convention feel that it was
supported in standing out for complete
freedom for Cuba.
The President and his cabinet on the
other hand if dispatches from Washing
ton contain the truth, have no doubt
that after a reasonable period of resist
ance, simply to show the people that it
did not act hurriedly, but only after due
delberation and for the best interests of
the island, the convention will accept
the amendments and that the work of
establishing stable government on the
island will go right ahead
The President and his advisers may be
right. The probability is they are. The
Cubans are wise enough to see that they
have the very best terms they are likely
to get. The Democrats of Congress got
those terms for them, by threatening to
force an extra session if some conces-
sions were not made.
In this Congress the Republicans are
stronger than they were in the last, and
therefore If the Cubans do not accent
the Platt amendments they may have to
accept something less agreeable. There
fore 1t is likely that the amendments
will be accepted after there has been a
little more discussion of them.
