MAKING GAS AAppY ON FARMS

Mrs. Meredith Tella About the School
for Farm sras Wives In Minnesota.
What the West Is doing In the way
Of training girls to live happy lives on
farms was very ably shown at Hunt
ington hall, Boston, recently by Mrs.
Virginia G. Meredith, preceptress of the
school of agriculture Of Minnesota uni
versity.
Mrs. Meredith has herself conducted
a successful stock farm for many years,
and she believes thoroughly In the
farm life for young people.
'"rhe farm home" she said, 'is to
my mind the ideal home, and l am
glad to say the thought in our school
is always to educate the girl for the
life she will have to live.
"At first we had only boys in the
school, but when these, noticing that
their sisters and sweethearts needed
to learn just what they were learn,
Ing, begged us to take girls, too, we
did so, and now for four years we
have been training farmers daugh-
ters to make happy farm homes.
Our girls study side by side with.
the boys the different breeds OF live
stock and the various developments
of plant life. A farmers wife needs
to know how to tell shorthorn from
longhorn, and what season Is best for
planting corn.
"We have been hearing in the past
much about the mans desire to get
away from the farm. The reason for
his restlessness lies In the dissatisfac-
tlon of his women folk with farm life.
They needed to be taught that 1t was
Interesting to make farm home.
1--WE give our girls special work
adapted to women in the home. such
as cookery, which extends through the
three years, dairy chemistry, and plant
life. Butter-making is not drudgery
to the girl who understands the why
Of 1t, and sewing is rapidly ceasing to
become lost art now that girls see
that patterns are comprehensive
things and not Chinese puzzles.
''The girl Is taught, too, about tex
tiles, most interesting subject from
the farmers standpoint; and she at
tends lectures on household art in
which suitability Is shown to be the
deslderatum of purchase Of furniture.
''The application made in our school
Of mechanical drawing that Of desrgn-
ing model farmhouses will have a
great influence on the coming farm
home Of Minnesota. When the present
generation build houses they win be
convenient ones.'

TIEN TsIN caowpEp.
city Full Of Soldiers .nd OmIe.n R.luraIas
Home

Tien Tsin. July a. The city Of
Tien Tsin is now more crowded than
ever. Officers of ell nations are here
en- route for their homes, and the
hotels are placing cots in every avail
able place. Apartments have been
prepared at the University OF Tien
Tsin for Prince Chuan and his suite
of 40, who will remain there for three
days before leaving for Germany to
make formal apology for the murder
Of Baron Won Ketteler.
Mr.. DENLY, who, when the foreign
troops arrived, was appointed by the
Chinese Merchants Company to pro-
tect its property, says the company,
in its claim against the United States
government, did not use the word
''loot" against the marines, but mere
ly held them responsible. The
greater part Of the company's proper
ty consisted of rice, which was after
wards distributed under orders from
the British and American generals to
assist those in need. Mr.. DENLY
thinks the company's CLAN should
have been added to the indemnity as
legitimate expenditure Other mer-
chants say the company never had
300, 600 taels worth OF property here.
II is pointed out that the company
stored three boxes Of yaluables with
the chartered bank before the trouble
began and did not withdraw these
until October, and that, consequently,
it is quite improbable any jewels
were left to be looted. Moreover, the
place was thoroughly gone through
by local looters before the allied forces
arrived. 1t would be legally impossi-
bic to hold any portion Of the reliev-
ing force responsible for anything but
the rice and coal, which were used as
a military necessity, 10 feed Chinese
coolies who were forced to labor and
also those who were without means Of
livelihood.

RIOT AT ROCHESTER.
Policemen and Strikers Fought and Many
were Injured.

Rochester, N. Y, June 28.-one
thousand striking laborers had a
brisk encounter with the police today,
in which IL policemen and 20 rioters
were injured. The rioters set out, as
several times before, too drive of the
laborers working on street improve
ments. At Mill and Commercial
streets they encountered so laborers
employed by the Rochester Gas &
Electric company in digging a trench,
and drove them from the trench.
The workers sought refuge in the
power house OF the company, and the
police undertook to disperse the mob.
The police reserves were drawn up in
a platoon of 80 across the street, and
upon orders advanced with drawn
clubs upon the mob. Immediately
the air was filled with bricks, stones
and wood, and shovels and picks in
the hands OF the strikers were used
freely. Amid the melee shot rang
out and the sergeant commanding the
platoon ordered the police TO fire over
the heads OF the strikers. This had
the desired effect. The strikers scat
tered and the police chased them
through the streets to the City Hall
Park, where they were held awaiting
action by the mayor.
Police reinforcements were hurried
to the scene of the riot, but their SER
vices were not required. The injuries
sustained by several of the policemen
are of serious nature. The hurts OF
the rioters were mostly scalp wounds
inflicted by the officers clubs.

st. Johns. N. f., June 2S.-The
Orient Steam Navigation Co mpany's
steamship Lusitania, from Liverpool,
June Is. for Montreal, having 300
passengers on board, was wrecked
last night of Cape Ballard.
The Lusitania was bound round
Cape Race for Montreal with q large
cargo and shipload Of passengers.
She mistook her course in dense fog,
and went ashore near Renews, 20 miles
north Of Cape Race, before daybreak.
The ship ran over reef, and hangs
against . clifE The passengers, who
are mostly emigrants, were panic
stricken. They stampeded and fought
for the boats, but were overcome by the
officers and crew The rougher ele-
ments among the passengers used
knives. The women and children
were first landed, and the men fol-
lowed. The crew stood by the ship.
A heavy sea was running, but at
latest advices the Lusitania was hold
ing her own. It is thought that she
will prove total wreck.
The passengers Of the Lusitania
had terrible experience. The first
knowledge they had of the disaster
was when, owing to the ship scraping
over the rocks, they were hurled from
their berths by the shock. A scene
Of great excitement prevailed. Three
hundred people were cIamoring to
escape, while the crew tried to pacify
them and launch the boats. The
male passengers in their attempt to
seize the boats. trampled the women
under foot and fought the crew with
knives. Some of the more cool head
ed Of the passengers assisted the crew
in the efforts TO get out the boats.
The women and children, almost
nude, we're pulled up the cliffs by the
coast people.
The unhappy passengers, after
shivering for hours on the hilltop,
tramped weary miles to reach the
houses Of the fishermen, where they
are now sheltered. Previous to reach
ing the cliffs, the passengers passed
two hours Of terrible anxiety on the
wreck. AS furious rain storm and
heavy sea ragged all night, it is feared
the Lusitania will be a total wreck.
The last reports received here said
the steamer was breaking up, that
her foreholds were full OF water and
that her cargo was being salvaged.
There is hope Of saving the effects Of
the passengers, as, where possible,
they were stored above decks.

Narrow Escape Of Passengers IN an Express
Tain

Tfzim
Baltimore, July 2.--The roof Of the
Union Railroad tunnel in the eastern
section Of the city, used and con-
trolled by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
cayed in shortly before 2 o'clock this
morning. It is supposed that de-
feet in the arch of the tunnel caused
the accident.
A narrow escape from death OF SER
ious injury was experienced by the
passengers and crew Of an express
train which was caught by the falling
debris in the tunnel. AS far as can
be learned, the avalanche 81 earth
and rocks caught the rear express
car, which was Immediately in front
Of the passenger cars. The train was
not running rapidly and the jar was
not severe. The engineer quickly
brought his train to full stop and
word was sent from q signal tower to
the Union station. A yard engine
was sent into the tunnel and the
thinly filled passenger coaches were
drawn back to Union station without
the occupants being aware Of the dam
ger through which they had passed.
