Colorado, New Mexico and central Tex
as. The most remarkable thing regard
ing macaroni wheat is this: 1t is not only
true that it can be grown in dry districts,
but it must be grown there in order to
produce the best quality of grain, and
up to a minimum of about ten inches Of
an annual rainfall the drier the better.
Probably the most important announce
ment from a commercial standpoint as
result of the new wheat industry is the
fact of immediate market for these
wheats. The entire present crop of this
year, which will be about 100000 BUSH

HOODED IN YALE PoMP.
Roosevelt and Other Great Men Re-
ceive Honorary Degrees.


The ceremonies concentrating the
close of Yale's second century are now
part of the rich history of that great in
stitution. Wednesdays exercises, the
most imposing of the celebration, We're
held in the Hyperion Theater and were
the eliminating features Of the bicenten-
NAL, including, as they did, the bestowaI
upon men of great achievement the hoods
Of the university's honorary degrees.
There was an impressive procession
through the campus to the theater, in
which these men of many creeds and pro-
LESSONS marched behind Yale's banner,
under arches of Yales colors and to the
music of Yales anthems.
Besides the comforting of degrees there
were classical music, commemorative
poem and a Greek festival hymn Doth
composed for the occasion) and an adj
dress by Justice David J. Brewer of the
United States Supreme Court. In the
audience which listened to the exercises
was the President of the United States.
A big crowd met the Presidents party
at the station. AS the President drove
away with President Hadley, the Gov
ernor and the Mayor guard of tho
States military and naval forces formed
behind. After short rest at Battell
Hall the President was escorted to his
place in the academic procession. Ho
marched with the president Of the univer-
sity, directly behind the chief marshal,
Col. Theodore A. Bingham, U. s. A.
Among those who received the degree
of doctor of laws were the President,
Chief Justice Fuller. Marquis Ito, for
mer premier of Japan; Albert Abraham
Nicholson, professor of physics at the
University of Chicago; Admiral w. L.
Sampson, T. S. n. and President Har-
per of the University of Chicago. The
presidents of many of the Western uni
versities received degrees.

els, was contracted for even before har-
vested at a good average price. Another
important business enterprise may be
brought into existence, for the reason
that the macaroni wheat from southern
Europe is succeeding so we'll in the great
plains as to warrant the establishment
of macaroni manufacturing. About To-
100000 pounds of foreign macaroni is i'm
ported into this country each year, solely
because being made from true macaroni
wheat, it is considered to be of better
quality than our domestic macaroni,
which is made from bread wheat. All
the costs of the imported product can
now be saved to this country if the farm
ers and millers will furnish our factories
with the right kind Of material and the
factories are anxious to have the same.

MAcARONI WHEAT.
May Become One of the Great Staple
Products of This Country.


The United States Department of Ag-
riculture has just announced one of the
most valuable discoveries of recent years.
1t is the introduction of the drought-re-
sisting macaroni wheat, imported from
the Nolga region of East Russia. This
wheat is adapted to semi-arid districts
and can be pro6tably grown in the great
plain regions of the United States far
beyond the Tooth meridian.
Already astounding results have been
obtained by the government In South
Dakota, where the crop has just been
thrashed from one locality, it is reported
that the yield Of macaroni wheat will be
from 30 to 40 bushels per acre, which is
one-third more per acre than the average
yield of the regular wheat from this Sec
ton. The establishment Of this new
wheat industry will be of incalculable
benefit to agriculture in the semi-arid
plains. A million or more Of acres can
thus be given to profitable wheat rails
ing, which, ON account of drought, have
heretofore been entirely idle.
Macaroni wheat differs radically from
the ordinary bread wheats. The grain is
much harder, and in the best varieties
contains an unusual amount of nitrogen
and a CORRESPONDENCE small amount Of
starch. The quantity and quality of the
gluten make it exceedingly valuable for
making macaroni. The area outlined by
the Department of Agriculture where
macaroni wheat will succeed best Is
long belt extending northward and south
ward through the great plain from North
Dakota to the Texas coast. In width it

STAMP LOOT S74,6IO.
BURGLARS TUNNEL INTO THE
CHICAGO POSTOfFiCE.
Plumber of 700 Pounds Taken Awayin
WaEon-Safe in Which There Was
100000 Barely Missed - Biggest
Postoff1ce Robbery on Record.

Thieves entered the vault of the whole
sale department. of the Chicago postoftice
between Saturday evening and Monday
morning and accomplished the biggest
postage stamp robbery on record. They
secured $74,61O in stamps of various de-
nominations and escaped. Skill, inegnu-
ity and wonderful endurance were requir-
ed successfully to carry out the plans
that evidently had carefully been laid.
Two brick walls. each two feet thick.
were tunneed through, and a hole nine
teen inches square was made in the bot
tom Of the steel vault. They, took from
the vault booty enough to load a good
sized wagon and drove away.
Entered Through Tunnel.
Entrance to the vault was gained
through Il tunnel which had been left in
the construction of the postoffice. En-
tering the basement of the postofiice from
the southeast corner Of the building, they
followed the windings Of a tunnel be-
tween piers and posts that support the
structure. They had to go nearly across
the entire space covered by the postoffice
until they reached the stampYault on the
west side.
With drill they perforated the cast
iron bottom a the safe and knocked out a
piece large enough to make a space to
admit man. The rest of the work was
easy. With six men it would have been
necessary to make several trips to and
from the wagon to despoil the vault Of it's
treasure.
The robbers did their work we'll, not a
stamp being overlooked. Within few
feet of them was the cash safe containing
nearly six hundred thousand dollars,
greater fortune in currency than was
represented in the stamps that were stol-
en-. The stamps were placed in wagon
that was driven to the southeast corner

1t was not without difficulty that the
robbery was accomplished. The location
OF the safe and the trip from the point
of entrance were the least difficult. Ar
rived at the spot over which they had
assumed the vault to be the men found
their way barred by piece Of flooring
and a large box.
They cut hole through this floor and
then found that a big box barred further
progress. This was large enough to re-
Quire the strength of more than one man
to remove it. 1t was thrown to one side,
however, and the rest was easy. The
sharp drill was brought into play against
the iron floor of the vault. The work
of perforating the iron required work Of
hours. Nearly half a hundred of the
bores were necessary before the burglars
could knock the piece out. 1t is suppos-
ed that one man worked in the vault and
passed the stamps out to his accom-

NEWS FROM
OUR COLONIES.
OCNOcOCNOC$OC<NO


Gen. Leonard Wood, military governor
of Cuba, said in discussing Cuban af-
fairs: Cuba is a totally undeveloped
island, and has a great future. Yellow
fever in another year will cease to be
epidemic. We have not had a single case
of yellow fever at Havana this summer,
and none in eastern Cuba for two years
past Cuba's resources require capital
for development The last enormous SUI
gar crop was raised on per cent of the
entire sugar producing lands. We have
100000 in our reserve fund and can
pay all our debts and get out of Cuba
within the next eight months. We have
established 5000 fourishing schools.
Two years ago we were obliged to pro-
vide over 100 orphan asylums to protect
the destitute children. Since then we
have abolished sixty, and expect to be
able to close more before we retire from
the management of the Cuban affairs.
Our troops have been well cared for, AMI
their health compares favorably with that
of the troops in this country, showing the
island is healthful."
The school teachers colony have won
their fight against the excessive charges
for provisions in the Philippines and i'll
the future they will be allowed to pur-
chase supplies at about the same rate as
charged the military officials. The Sec
rotary of War, through the bureau of in
sular affairs, has notified the Taft COM
mission to organize a series of depots
where the surplus supplies of the COM
missary generals department can BIO
sold in bulk to the families of the teach
ers. This arrangement will place the
teachers on the same basis as officers of
the military establishment in the cost OF
maintenance.
There are now 900 lepers and 164 clean
persons at the Moloka leper settlements
in Hawaii, according to a report receiv-
ed from Chief Quarantine Officer Cofer,
in charge of the marine hospital work in
Hawaii. All these are housed, fed, cloth
ed and governed for $4,000 year. The
number of commitments to the settle
ments each year during the last decade,
ranging from 1872 in 1891 to 50 in 1900,
show a gradual decrease despite the fact
that the hunt for lepers throughout the
islands never before has been so vigorous.

WISCONSIN TAX LEVY.
TOTAL AMOUNT TO BE RAISED
is So, 257,854.
Increase of Almost a Million Is Due to
the One Mill School Tax Under the
New Assessment Figures Figures
by Count.ei.

The State tax levy fer 1902 from the
Secretary of States office will show that
the total amount of State tax to be rails
ed next year is s., 257, S54, as against ST.
340,57O in 1901, or an increase of almost
81 200, 900 over 1901. Because of the in
crease in the valuation of all property in
the State made by the State Board of AS
sessment at its recent sitting the rate of
taxation is only .00157201, as against
.OO2135S25 last year. or more than half
mill less than for 1901. While the
amount that will be raised for school pur-
poses by the one-mill tax is $S06,2S4
greater than for the previous year, owing
to the great increase in the assessed val
uation, there is an increase in the State
tax of $1O60OO over and above the 1-mlll
levy That is, the total amount of taxes
to be raised for the year 1902, outside
of the 1-mill tax, is 1921, $40, as against
S715,570 for 1901. This increase is due,
not to any extra expense incurred in the
actual conduct of the State government,
but to the university fund income, the
normal school fund income. and to the
aid the State is now giving graded
schools This can be readily understood
from a glance at the following table show
ing the various items which were put into
the State levy for 1901 and for 1902:

The money for free high school, State
aid for graded schools and the interest
on the State debt is usually taken from
the general fund, but when the general
fund is not sufficient to carry them they
are included in the annual levy made by
the Secretary of State.
Figured upon the basis of the valuation
fixed by the State Board of Assessment
at its last sitting and at the rate of

The reason for the reversal of the judg-
ment of conviction, in which reversal all
the Judges of the New York Court of
Appeals agree is that the trial court
erred in receiving in evidence the declara-
tions Barnett made to Drs. Phillips and

agree also that the authorship Of writ
