Those who are interested in the boy s reformatory will be surprised at the statement that the great steel strike should affect the forty little waifs at Alabama's farm. But 1t Is true that un- til the strike is settled the pipe needed to complete the plugs for the water connec- tions cannot be had for love nor money. The boys at the farm shake their heads over the situation and wash their hands of the whole affair. The women, who are determined that the Johnston Home shall be equipped with water facilities, read the morning papers to see if any agreement has been reached Only three hundred feet of pipe are needed, but owing to the strike the work on the wa ter arrangements at the farm is serious ly retarded.
 The buildings have never been equipped with water works and the boys have brought every drop of water used from the spring. There are fifty persons on the farm and the labor of bringing the water

HOUSTON, MONDAY, JUNE II. 1901
OFFICIAL FIeuRgg Agour RIcE.


The Crop Reporter for June. published
under the auspices Of the department. OF
agriculture at Washington, contains some
interesting statistics relating to the pro
duction and consumption of rice IN the
United states which may prove especially
readable and Instructive in this section.
White production is increasing rapidly
consumption Is also growing, thus indicat-
ing such an awakening appreciation of
rice as a food as promises before long to
tax the full resources OF the rice proluc-
Ing districts Of the United states. There
IS no lintt 70 the possibilities Of the de
mand while there is limit to the acreage
that can he successfully or prohiably de.
voted 10 rice. Ths of course offers great
encouragement to the rice growers.
The average yearly consumption Of
cleaned rice in the United States for the
past ten years has been NOT far from 250.
100000 pounds and the average production
about I50,oo,000 pounds, leaving an aver
age demand for 100000 pounds to be
supplied By Importation. IN the last year
Of the PAST decade, however, according to
the Crop Reporter. there were indications
OF u decided incrcase both in production
aud consumption. Apparently the domestic
1000. amounted 10 upwurds Of 2I5OO0,OCO
pounds. while the production went mp
almost 10 100000. leaving nearly 80.
OoooOo pounds 10 be supplied by hu-
porta,ion. Production has been mcrcas.
ing. It Is true, faster than consump
tion, but the fact that the latter rs
showing substantial growth Indicates the
possibilities OF the market when we reflect
that tho consumption Is yet comparative
ly small for nation Of T6,ooo,ooo people.
The export OF domestic rice is also show.
ing steady aud, during the year 1900. q
phenomenal growth In 1897 those exports
amounted TO $4,000 pounds In 1898 70
G;t7 600; 10 1909 10 $4,000 and In 1900 10
l2,941,0o0 pounds. These exports added TO
the 100000 pounds Of Imported rlce, die.
close an existing possible market for 6S,
100000 pounds more Of domestic rice than
Is now consumed at home
Il the rice growers succeed IN enlargiug
the use oe rice as food 10 the Quilted
States 70 any considerable extent, and as
they must aud viii do, Il is easy to see
that soon every pound that can be pro
dueed here win DC In active demand. The
agricultural departments publication very
scnsihly and very naturally coueludes from
these facts thai "thore are many Indications
Of the approach OF new era" in the rice
interest OF the United States.

Saturday night bad an unpleasant expe-
rience with negro passengers who re-
fused to enter the Jim Crow car. They
remained in the regular passenger

train &C the first telegraph station and
notified the Alexandra police, who
made arrangements to take the negroes
of when the train reached this city.

ductor. and when the cars got In mo-
ton again they one by one repaired TO

cident had been noised around the de-
pot 10 this city, and when the train
stopped here a crowd OF white people
had gathered to aid the police 10 taking
the darkeys In custody, II necessary.
The services OF neither, however, was
