FOR SONS OF FARMERS.
Winter Course I'm Agriculture mt the

The opportunity to satisfy recent de-
mand from a good many quar-
tiers for information regarding the
short winter course in agriculture" Of
fered by the State University has been
given the Morning News, through a
chance encounter with Maj. c. NJ
Ryals.
Cant you give us some facts about
this short winter school of agriculture
that the university is about to give?"
Maj. Ryals was asked, yesterday.

plans of the university. However, pos
sibly may be able to supply some Of
the details you are after, as Chancellor
Hill has just paid our town a flying
visit, and I'll try" said Maj. Ryals, ito
do that In a very few words. The
university, as you know, among other
courses. offers a regular course in ag-
riculture, which IL requires several
years to completes standard college
training-all right as far as Il goes. It's
thorough and practical enough--under

but of necessity takes time to complete.

confidence in himself that all those
with whom he comes in contact are
inspired to the same Judgment. How
he thus impresses people is dicfi1ult
to say. He is not one of your glib and
ready takers. His enthusiasm is rather
OF the suppressed kind. Upon his pres
emit success he has staked more than
the chances of fame and fortune in
cident to the achievement. He has
been for two years engaged to
charming young New York girl Miss
Josephine Holman. When his engage
ment was announced last year a friend
asked him when the wedding would
be.

There was no great amount of out
side selling in the stock market last
week. Conditions which prevailed then
were the severest tests the market has
been subjected to and the way 1t stood
that test was the most encouraging
sign the DullS nave nad TOT IWJ
months. Everything was against the
market. Everything favored the bears.
The result justified two conclusions.
One is that there is no disposition on
the part of the public to sell out. We
have seen the operators trying to in
duce outside buying, now we see them
making their utmost strenuous efforts
to bring about outside selling. In both
cases they have failed: II the bears
had succeeded this week we should
have had panic. The second conclu.
sion is, that the bears are partly or
ganized and have no strong leaders.
James r. Keene used to lead them, but
he turned bull after the election Of Mr..
Mckinley and 1t was said that the So
called large interests In the street gave
him financial and Official connection in
the bull plans. 1t was he who managed
the rise. So far as the street can make
out, he is still the bull leader. The con-
dition of the market last week would
indicate alone that the bear campaign
failed. Another effort will be made this
week, and the test will still be worth
watching, namely the outside selling. If
the market sustains the pressure of
this week, Wall street is confidently
expecting a sharp turn for the rise in
the last week in December and after
the opening of the New Yeark

A NEW TELEPHONE INVENTED
The Constructor Declares II Superior
TO Any Present system.

HAZLETON, Pa. Jan. 2s.-Stephsn En-
gel, local jeweler and inventor, has con
structed a telephone transmitter which.
experts say. will greatly lessen the cost
of equipment of telephone plants and viii
make the same much clearer and more
distinct over long distances. The tests
made with the new transmitter have
shown that with it only half the number
of batteries will be needed while the
sound is much more distinct.
Over a circuit of fifty-four miles the
tick of watch was heard as clearly as
II it were within a foot Of the ear. Mr..
Engel has not patented his device. nor
will he do so. for fear that some big tcle-
phone company might surreptitioasly &C
quire the secret of its construction and
involve him in expensive litigation
Mr.. Engel says his transmitter is df
,erent in construction from any other
ever patented; that he can make trans
mittcr which will be no larger than
common thimbie, and that. when manu-
featured in wholesale. they will cost
hardly cent each.
Mr.. Engel' is a skilled mechanic ard has
invented and patented a number OF in
genious devices. He is also the inventor
of the Engel clock. which he sold for
! $50 600. and which was exhibited through
out the country. Its construction is SINH

Yards that failed to receive awards for

battleship; Cramp G. Sons, who were
awarded two armored cruisers: the New
