York conductor on one Of our trolley cars
saying this to an outgoing passenger. Why.
the very idea of such thing happening
here In our city would almost fairly take
our breath away. And that this Is true /
would appeal to your readers and corre-
spondents who every little while, write to
the Sun exploiting their grievances in this
regard-to say nothing OF the many. and
oitentlmes fatal, accidents, due solely 20 the
shameful negligence of the conductors and
motormen. which almost daily appear In
your columns
No. There is no excuse whatever for this
truly horrible state OF things. Many OBJ
scure ana unknown persons are thus killed
or irreparably wounded whose cases do not
appear In print. 1 write thus strongly be-
cause feel strongly, and am induced 20
write this merely to show the difference be-
tween washington and New York in this
regard.
Nor. further. is 1t any excuse to say that
we have here so many trolleys running that
motorman cannot attend TO the safety OF
his passengers. On the contrary. statistics
will. think, prove that there are as many
troleys running in Washington as in New
York. The managers OF our street railway
system may well take a lesson from Wash
ington. Still, L do not for a moment sup
pose that this protest of mine will make
them change their ways by instilling into
the minds of their motormen and conductors
the necessity OF different treatment OF the
public. Indeed, my making this protest is
undoubtedly merely "whistling down the

fngtOn Than I'm New York.
A Letter to the Editor of the New York Sun.
Having just returned from Washington.
after sojeurn of some two weeks IL has
been most vividly impressed upon nv mind
how that city differs from New York city in
various ways, especially regarding the libra
ries and trolley cars.
Regarding the libraries. when one con-
traSts the treatment which any stroller re-
cefves in the Congressional Library even IL
he is tramp. SO long as he behaves HIM
self. and that which people receive in our
New York libraries-I do not mention these
as II might be considered invidious-the Diff
ference Is at once seen. In the Washington
libraries every employe, from the chief IL
brarian to his subordinates, does his very
utmost to facilitate the seeker after in
formation. Here in New York, on the con-
trary, IL a visitor gets even civil word he
may congratulate himself that he is not ac-
tually insulted. Indeed, 1t would appear as
IL the librarians in New York founded by
the way, by philanthropic men to enable
even the hoi polloi to partake of their ad-
vantages take the utmost pains TO insult
visitors who wish to consult their books.
That this Is so / would refer your readers
to the many letters to the newspapers.
Haud inexpertus loquor.
Again. take the matter of the trolley cars
and contrast the courteous treatment every
passenger receives in Washington with that
which our citizens daily receive here In
Washington when. for instance car stops
to let on passenger-this was my daily ex-
pertence-the conductor not only brought
his car to standstill, but invariably re-
marked to me. .sNow. be careful, and see II
another car Is not coming on the opposite
track. so you win not be hurt"

DEATH OF J. w. sCHUCKERs.
Prominent I'm journalism, Once Pri

Prominent I'm journalism, Once Prf-
vate Secretary to Chief Justice Chase.
Intelligence was received here yesterday
of the death in Buffalo Saturday last, OF
Mr.. Jacob w. Schuckers. whose illness
was noted in these columns few days ago.
Mr.. Schuckers was born in Wooster. Ohio,
sixty-eight years ago Early in life he
learned the printing business, and was
more or less connected, directly or Indirect
ly, with journalism ever since. In 1861 he
entered the government service in Wash
ington as a clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment, and shortly afterward became pri-
vate secretary to Salmon T. Chase, then
Secretary of the Treasury, and continued
that relation after Mr.. Chase became Chief
Justice OF the Supreme Court of the United
States. After the death of MIR. Chase, Mr..
Schuckers became citizen of New Jersey.
where he has resided ever since. He wrote
an interesting biography of MIR. Chase. and
was engaged in preparing a new edition Of
that work up to the time of his death. AT
one time he was an editorial writer on the
New York Sun, and was a frequent and
valued contributor to the political econom-
ical and social literature of the country.
he was secretary of the New Jersey COM
mission at the Pan-American exposition,
and it was in the discharge of the duties of
that position at Buffalo that he contracted
the illness that resulted I'm his death
During his official connection, and other
wise, Mr.. Schuckers made the acquaintance
and gained the friendship of a large circ,e
OF prominent and influential people. I'm pub
lie and private life. by whom he was highly
esteemed, and his death will be widely and
sincerely regretted.
The funeral took place this afternoon at
CLOCK from the residence of his sister.

FORMER JUDGE A SUICIDE.
M. A. Rogers Kills Himself Wi
Dynamite In Colorado.

M. A. Rogers Kills Himself With
Dynamite In Colorado.
News has reached Denver, COL, Of the
alleged suicide of Judge NJ. A. Rogers for
merly of the supreme court of Colorado.
and one of the ablest lawyers Of the state,
at Steamboat Springs, Col, on Wednesday
last.
Judge Rogers. it is stated, lay down on
the ground with stick of dynamite under
him and. lighting cigar, fired the fuse and
calmly smoked until the explosion ended
his life. The act was committed among
some willows near Bear River, just inside
the town limits.
Steamboat Springs Is considerable dis
tance from the railroad and only accessible
by stage. which accounts for the delay In
receiving the news In Denver. Judge Rog-
ers had been there all summer with his
wife. No cause Is known for his taking
his life.

own, in spite of the assaults that have
been made on it by different writer's.
us quality varies greatly according to
the animals by which it is made and
n material out of which it is formed.
n system of bedding followed also
counts for a good deal. Where straw
or wild hay is cut for bedding it is evil

result will certainly be different than
II saWdust be used. The latter will add
practically nothing to the value of the
manure
But, though the value of manure is
determined to a considerable extent by
IT'S source, its ann of handling has
still more to do with its value. Good
management may increase it's value.
Encouragement may destroy it. When
the manure is properly piled and pro-
tected from Indictment weather and
from Washings a beneficial fermenta-,
tlon, which is carried on by organisms
OF a vegetable nature, can take place
only when the temperature is suitable
to the growth of such delicate forms of
life.
1t is therefore evident that the prev
alent custom of piling the manure out
OF doors as it accumulates in the win
ter does not facilitate the fermenta-
ton OF it. This manure i: all right for
use on land planted in crops that do
not need the extra food till well along
into summer, when it will have under
gone the processes that prepare it as
food for plants. Often this winter
made manure is put on the lands de-
voted to early crops and is the source
of disappointment. Though it NAV be
dlscolored by the weather, it is vet
green manure" and as such is insult
ed to hurry along the forms of plant
life that call for rapid forcing to make
them marketable. Science and experi-
ence direct that for the n a
sheltered place be provided as much
out OF the way of frost as possible.
We will not enumerate the manv
points of detail to be taken into con
sideration when the saving of the ma
r is to be put on a scientific basis:
1t is necessary only to say that the
liquid as we'll as the solids must be
saved. Too rapid fermentation NAV
be avoided by combining the two kinds
to keep down temperature, which
should never be permitted to rise high
er than 80 degrees.
The nitrifytng organisms that are
found in barnyard n increase it's
value.

MI. Frank ID. Winn OF Kansas City.
Mo-, who is n of a committee of
three appointed by the Poland-China
breeders to prepare a special premium
list and push the interests of that
breed at the great swine show to be
neld at Kansas City next October,
writes us that great interest is being
manifested in the enterprise and it is
p that Illinois breeders will make
special preparations for the event and
contribute an exhibit that will be a
credit to the state and to the great
SWINE interests they represent. Such
prize lists as are proposed should call
together the best representatives of
tne breeds on exhibition at that show,
n make 1t the greatest swine exposi-,
tlon that has ever been held. The,
regular premium list for Poland-Chi-
mas will follow the clas%sifications
adopted by the State Fairs, but in adj
dltlon thereto, the following list of
special prizes for that breed has been
prepared by the committee of manage
ment:
1. Boar and not less than four of his
get any age or sex.
2. Sow and not less than four of her
pigs, either sex, under six months.
3. Sow and one of her produce, any
age or sex.
4. Boar and SOW, any age.
.. Two swine, any age or sex, pro-
duce of same SOW.
b. Boa and sow, six months and I'M
der a year.

Knowing as we do the public spirit

ers, we have no doubts about the ex-
hlb1t they will make at Kansas City,
prizes or no prizes. but we are glad the
committee has seen fit to offer such
liberal rewards.

mont makes brands on high, Of middle
and OF low grade. Every man of them
would prefer to sell all of the best and
none of the poorest class, not because
he makes more on them-for the mar
gan OF profit is much the same in eth
er ease-but for the sake of his own
good reputation. The popular demand
Tor quantity rather than quality is the
excuse for the low grade goods. The
FARMER himself rather than the dealer
is responsible for them.
To make the cheap goods, either in
ferlor raw material must be used, OF
else the good crude stock must be di-
luted with what is technically known as
"niier," a material which the farmer
calls dirt. The latter is, it is to be
hoped, and, indeed, is thought to be,
the Q common expedient used,
Inc economy of paying manufactur-
ers. railroad magnates, general and To-
cal agents good money for mixing, bag
glng, treighting and selling from 400 to
So0 pounds of everyday dirt in every
ton of fertilizer, does not appear. 1t is
lar better for the farmer who wishes to
use a low grade of fertilizer to buy less
OF a higher class goods and to make
his own low grade by mixing in more
or less muck or soil at home.

Tor years been preaching this doctrine.

corning the fertilizer trade, none of
which ha had any more certain foun-
oatlon than the one here advanced.

Ter or the goods and their fitness for
special needs-and buy as much plant

times insten the farmer who buys the
cheap goods gets the most weight, but

Colorado, and several car loads of
sheep have gone west from the state
mentioned.
Three hundred Kentucky horses will
soon be shipped to South Africa for
the British army's use. The contract
has been awarded to Thomas Murphy
of Glasgow, KY, and is the first ever
given directly to a Kentucky horse
dealer by the British government.
Murphy has begun purchasing, and he
believes that he will soon secure the
number desired.
Miles City, Montana, is up in arms
against a local butcher who purchased
forty head of lumpy jaw and crippled
beef, rejected from an Indian contract.
and commenced retailing the meat.
Complaint was made to the secretary
Of the Montana Stock Association and
to the State Veterinarian. The latter
says that lumpy jaw is not a con-
tagious disease. and says there is no
law in Montana to deal with the case
in point. He advises getting such a
law on the statute books.
