STEVENSON IN SIN FRANCISCO.
\ TALE OF woE-w1rH \ SEQUEL.


In a recent number of The Pail Mall Maga-
zine" Mr.. II. w. Bell made his little contribution
. to the quantity of literature that has
been accommodating around the memory of Rob
ert Louis Stevenson ever since his death. 1t
was offered as AN Unpublished Chapter in the
life of the novelist. and it was calculated to
make Stevenson's readers very sad indeed. But
along comes Mr.. John p. Young, Managing Edi-
tor of The San Francisco Chronicle" and gives
to The London Times the following chapter"
To be added to Mr. Bells:
The part of Mr. Bells article regarding which
am able To speak with pOsitiveness is that
in which he states with some CiTcumst tantiality
that Robert Louis Stevenson late in December
1919. arrived in San Francisco. and in the
spring of the following year was given job
in the city department of The San Francisco
Chronicle which he performed in such an un-
satisfactory manner that the item he as
signed To write mad 10 be given To another
reporter To put into English suitable 10 the
readers OF the paper and the latitude of Cali
Iornla; and that later he continued to write
articles for the sunday edition of The Chron-
icle,' but there is no Indication that he Thought
affectionatey of Them for he never rescued
them from the files" Both these statements are
absolutely false. L was Managing Editor of The
chronicle at the time. and personally knew
every reporter. whether the regular staff or
doing merely detail work. / also read and ac-
Cepted all the manuscripts published in The
chronicle during the period mentioned and can
assert WIN positlVeness that The Chronicle
was never honored by the offer of one from Mr.
stevenson. do not trust To my memory solely
on TINS point. but have caused the account books
OF The Chronicle to be carefully examined
and no trace of MIR. Stevenson's name can be
touhu IN them Had he worked single day for
the paper or contributed article OF articles

stan or the paper in 1879 and 1880 and they all
unite III saying that there is absolutely no
iiouhdation for the statements 1 am here deny
lhg, as they have already been denied in the
Columns of THE Chronicle" 1 wish to add some
tning that should be conclusive on this point
The Chronicle like most journals tries To
make the most of such facts as the connection
OF distinguished writer's. Does any one suppose
Ior moment that IL Robert Louis Stevenson
had been a contributor to the paper

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NEED IN
SOUTHERN EDUCATION.

This topic has been discussed already
by Professor Addison Hogue. of Wash
ington and Lee University, Lexington,
Va This greatest need. he thinks. is
not better teachers, or longer school
terms, or libraries. or laboratories, or
technical schools, though the need of all
these is fully admitted. It is something
more urgent than these, because it I'M
derlies them all. It is the need of lib
eral pecuniary support Of our own insti-
tutions by our own people. The pressing
need of endowments is SO patent to all
who are acquainted with the facts that
this is not specially dwelt upon. except
to call attention to one thing that every
business man will readily appreciate, and
that is the lowering rate of interest,
which entails serious loss where funds
have to be reinvested The main thesis
which Prof. Hogue maintains is that our
colleges should look to Southern men
for this needed help. instead Of relying
almost entirely, as has been the case,
on the generosity of our Northern
friends. He makes full and grateful
recognition of what these friends have
done for us, and voluntary gifts from
them would, of course, be gratefully ac-
cepted at any time by any Southern in
stitution. In the days Of our poverty,
when we were engaged in the arduous
task Of rebuilding our shattered for
tunes, we could not be expected to 90
much more than tax ourselves for the
common school, which had to teach both
appealing to the liberality Of other sec
tions to aid in upbuilding our higher
institutions. But the war has been over
now for thirty-five years, and the South
is no longer poor. Her material growth
is almost universally acknowledged, but
her colleges have not shared in this pros
perity Hence Prof. Hogue argues that
We are in danger, of losing our proper
spirit of self-reliance, and he appeals TO
the wise and patriotic liberality Of our
men of means He bases this appeal on
the worthiness of the cause, admitted to
be one Of the noblest to which man
can devote either his life or fortune,
and on its pressing needs. which must
be supplied unless we are to fall in the
rear in our educational development. In
the year SO nearly seventy million dollars
was donated to American education; but
very little of this was received by South
ern institutions, and with a few noble
exceptions most of what they did receive
came from generous friends in other sec
tons
It is also shown that no investments
are as safe or as enduring as money in
vested in colleges, which have been bet
ter managed financially than our banks
Several striking Illustrations are given OF
this, one being the remarkable and con-
tinued productiveness of Washington's
gift more than a century ago to the
school that has developed into Washing
ton and Lee University.

ArrLlss. BUTTER. CHEESE AND.

One OF the best customers that the far
MGR of America ever has had is Ta,e
British, cousin Who spends his time IN
manufacturing cotton and iron goods and
has no opportunity left for the cuitiva-
zion of wheat farms or apple orchards
and the yards wherein dwell the succuient
chicken. But without these essential de-
tails it would be not possible for the
Britisi, workman to keep on the even
scfior of his way, and therefore the far
mer living on the broad plains OF the
West or the fertile dairy farms Of the
East in America IS supplying the wants
of the hungry Br.tisher at breakfast,
dinner ard supper
The last statement of the imports into
Great Britain in 1900 showed that the
United States sen. sa2 10000 worth of cat
tie on the hoof. while only sS,o0o, oo0 worth
came from Canada, United States and
Canada, between them, sending 80 per
cent. of all the cattle imported. In addi-
lion 10 this the imports of meat that has
already been killed is going up by leaps
and bounds. being 20 per cent more an
1900 than it was in 1858. Three-fourths
of the tota! beef imported came from the
United States, though Australia was q
large shipper also. The United States
also sent 100000 worth of bacon.
British people are also great apple
caters, and in 1900 they consumed s6.o0o,Goo
worth of that fruit, and 100000 worth of
,ay-,fs also
held steady, and In, 1900 England I'M
ported SIG, ISL, S3s great hundreds OF eggs,
a great hundred being a ten dozen lot
and the total bill for the bosied eggs that
r,,e Britisher eats for breakfast was S29,-
0ooo00 or a million and half more than
in 1899. Germany, Russia, Denmark and
France very nearly divide the egg market
between them, with Canada bringing up
the rear But Canada, though last among
tlhe egg producers stands first in the
cheese trade, sending England s1S,0c3,c0o
worth of cheese, with the United States
serding SS,0V00oo worth. Denmark is
first in the list of those who supply the
needs of the British with butter, and no"
great the value of this trade is may be
seen from the fact that while the total
expenditure of the Danish government IS
only about 100000 year, they ship sS5,-
ooo,OO0 of butter TO Great Britain annually,
That is. every Dane, man, woman ana
child, earns forty dollars a year by the
butter trade with England alone. What
"a field there is for our farmers in dairy
products if they only care to enter it!
We do not believe that Denmark can do
a bit better than Virginia. The population
is the same for both. and we have 4
wonderful grass and cattle country. II
Denmark can earn ss5,9oo.eo5 by selling
butter to England, why can not the Vir-
ginia farmer enter the dairy produce
field?
