An odIty of the EruptIons.

In the Century, Professor Russell prints the following bit of personal observation among his conclusions concerning the West Indian eruptions
 The stones and dust shot upward from La Soufriere, rose through the trade wind layer and were carried eastward by the upper air current. On falling however, they again met the influence of the west ward blowing trades, and were given a slant in a westward direction %ifficient to allow them to pass through windows and enter houses. The windows of some of the houses near Georgetown which face eastward have the appearance of an abandoned house which has served as a target for stones, while the westward facing windows or those looking toward the volcano are but little injured.

Father of ThIrty-two Girls.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 John w. Street of Mount Vernon, Ill, was arrested at Evansville, Ind, for the non-payment of his board bill, and had a hearing before Judge Thorning of that city last Friday. In Indiana, as in Illinois, the laws for the protection of hotel, inn and board in3 house keepers are numerous and stringent, and their violation is gen. any followed by severe punishment in the nature of fine or Imprisonment, or both.
 It was necessary, then, in order to escape conviction, that John w. Street should set up @ strong defense in the way of palliating circumstances, at least. He did so by declaring under oath, first, that he vas 98 years of age; secondly, that he had incurred the debt for board and lodging pend- ing the success of his efforts to ob- tain employment; thirdly, that he was the father of thirty-two children, all girls, and, fourthly. that a large num- Der of his daughters were still depend ent upon him for support. Despite the fact that the proof the debt was positive and conclusive, the case was dismissed and he was set at liberty,

THE MONEY sTRlNeENcY.
V. hat Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
 Has Done.

From the Wall Street Journal.
 The following has been read and ap- proved by Secretary Shaw-as complete statement of what he has done to relieve the money market:
 First He has dispensed with reserve against government deposits in national banks which are secured by government bonds The effect of this will be to reduce the net deposits of the New York banks, as shown in the next bank statement, by about $40, 000 and of the banks all oyer the country by $13S, ,000000. This releases reserve sufficient to carry loans 70 the amount of these deposits at once.
 Second. He has authorized the substi- tuition for the per cent. bonds now held as security for deposits of government money. such securities as savings banks are permitted to invest in at a sufficient margin, upon condition that circulation Is taken out to the full value of the per cent. bonds thus released. Arrangements have been made with certain banks here, in Chicago and elsewhere to take out $25.- GOO circulation at once, and the notes have been printed and are ready for is- sue This relief will not go beyond the s25. 100000 referred to, and may not reach that far. A reserve must be carried against deposits, secured by other than government bonds.
 Third He has offered to anticipate the interest on all United States bonds to the end of the fiscal year at a rebate of the rate of 2.4 per cent per annum be- ginning October 1. This offer will be &C., eepted generally by banks upon bonds which they own, but not upon borrowed bonds.
 Fourth. He will continue to deposit current collections from internal revenue and from miscellaneous sources in na- tional banks for 30 or SO days, as hereto fore, against United States bonds
 Fifth He has offered to buy the $19,- 100000 of per cent bonds at 105.

Made a Fast Run from Ocean Liner
 to His Pulpit.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 Rev. pr. Parkhurst landed from the White Star line Celtic yesterday in time to get into the pulpit of the Madison Square Presbyterian church for the morning service. but it was close shave. He never cut 1t so close before.
 The Celtic drew into her slip at s:3o o'clock yesterday morning and 1t was nearly 10 before Dr. Parkhurst was able to start uptown in a cab. His service begins at Il. He assumed that his robes were where he had left them before he went away last spring, in a closet off his study in the church, and he knew that the notes of his sermon were in his pocket. Therefore, if the cabman had no III luck. the doctor ciphered 1t out that he would get to the church about fifteen minutes before ii.
 He did. Jumping from the cab, he hur- ried into the church, donned his robes and entered the pulpit. Owing to the weather and the fact that the morning papers had not been able to discover the Celtic in the fog off the Hook the night before, many of the regular worshipers at the Madison Square church stayed at home, taking 1t for granted that their pastor would not be in the pulpit
 
 Dr. Parkhurst walked into the pulpit at a brisk gait and came to a sudden stop before the reading desk. Then he looked over the congregation, and gave vent to something which sounded like:
 ''Pfwhewi'
 litter went through the church. Then the congregation settled back to listen. The sermon was from the text, Acts xviii, B. The theme was the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.
 After the sermon he said
 Capital cannot afford to ignore labor. If the oppression of the masses continues, the people will resort to desperate means, and will take up the old and the crude methods of obtaining their rights.
 T mean revolution, though I do not predict it. It may come, though. and I am confident that ii Is only matter of time when great power will be taken away from capital, and labor will reign supreme"

 That's your voluntary contribution for campaign purposes blandly replied the superint endent.
 But 1t isn't voluntary contribution. You've no right to hold it out on me. That wasn't in the bargain. I never heard anything about 1t before. It Is a gouge and l won't stand it.'

en. the best thing to do is to cut the crop at once for hay.
 Last spring. while up in middle Tennes- see. my attention was called to oeauu= ful field Of wheat, which if the rust had only left alone three or four days longer would easily have produced thirty oush- els Of fine wheat per acre. But the rust struck this field of wheat just as the bloom was falling and the result was that the grain was not merchantable and the crop did not pay for harvesting
 Fares.
 These are also common in wheat. what we call cheat for chess being perhaps the worst tare we have in our Wneat- fields. Then we have the purple bloom cookie plant This is easily gotten fld of by going through the fields when the plant Is Tn bloom and pulling them out. If seed pods have formed on the plants, they should be carried out and buried for if thrown down on the ground the seed will ripen and remain in the ground for years and come up again whenever wheat Is sown on the land.
 Chess or cheat Is not so easily to get rid of, for it looks so much like the grow ing wheat that much of 1t Is likely 10 De overlooked when going over the fields In search for 1t. Hence the importance of sowing pure clean seed free from these pests, for It Is much easier 10 get ms seed out of the wheat before sowing than 1t is afterwards.
 Varieties.
 We have a number of good varieties Of carly wheats to select from, some Of which will prove satisfactory for many sections We have the Red May, Blue Stem, Fully and Fulcaster. all good vari- cities. But one can tell best by actual experiments with a number of varieties which is best suited for his soil and sec ton.
 In conclusion will say that should be glad to see our people take more interest in wheat growing and prepare their lands for growing such crops of wheat as will pay. It is hardly fair to say that wheat crop will not pay until we have learned the methods necessary in preparing the land for growing the crop. We need not use our lands in growing cotton and corn until they will no longer produce these and then SOW these run down lands expecting a good crop. for if we do we are sure to be disappointed The land must have plant food which the wheat plant requires or failure Is sure 10 result. Then, again, the grain of itself is not all the benefit to be derived from growing wheat. The improvement of the soil Is quite an object, and the wheat crop when properly used in a regular rotation of crops, will be of great benefit to the soil. Let the soil be prepared as here re- commended and the methods here given be fully carried out, and then if they fall to produce paying crops 1t will be time to say that wheat growing in the south will not pay.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Montgomery. Ala, Tuesday, October 14
 2-Following are the general condi- tions for the week ending Monday Octo- Der 13 1902:
 The week as a whole was very cool temperatures averaging somewhat below the daily normal but the first three days were dry and generally favorable for cot ton picking and minor crops; heavy to ex- greater portion of the state on the 10th and 11th retarding all farm work and stopping cotton picking. but putting ground in good condition for fall blowing. The heavy rains beat out and stained much of the cotton remaining unpicked: practically all the cotton Is open, though there is still some fruiting in favored localities; some few report bolls rotting on bottom land; 1t Is very nearly all pick ed. and Is being ginned and marketed rapidly; reports now confirm previous es- inmates that the seasons cotton crop will make the lightest yield in many years with the top crop hardly worthy of note Corn Is being housed rapidly with a gen. orally light yield some hay was saved but much grass and pea vine hay was damaged by the rain; sweet potatoes, field peas, sorghum, sugar cane. peanuts, and turnips are making good progress. and will give generally fair yields. ex- cept sweet potatoes, which will be light :; more fall oats. and rye, and some wheat were sown The present indications are that the average area will be devoted to wheat and oats.

EXTENSION OF STREETS.
Request of Citizens' Association Com
mented Upon by District Omcial.

mented Upon by District Omcfa1.
The District Commissioners have re-
ceived a communication from the North
east Suburban Citizens Association ask
Ing for the extension of various streets and
avenues Reporting upon the request, the
computing engineer, Mr.. Hunt. states:
''The Commissioners have recommended
to Congress an estimate for the extension
of Goth street. but it is not known whether
it will be retained in the appropriation
bill as finally passed by that body. Gin
cinnati street is at present substantially
on grade, and when improved the changes
from present conditions will be minor ones.
The approved grades of Detroit and En-
poria streets between Goth and ODD streets
are as near substantial agreement with
the wishes of the writers maximum
rate of grade would allow and the exact
relation of the present approved grades to
his expressed wish can only be explained
in the office The grading and macadam-
izing of Baltimore street from 18th street
to the Queens Chapel road would have to
be the subject of a special appropriation,
and this WI We borne in mind in the prep
aration of ture estimates, and every
practicable consideration given to it. The
opening of oath street from Rhode Island
avenue to the Bladensburg road would
involve the acquisition, by condemnation
or otherwise of very considerable
amount of land. and expectations cannot
be held out at this time that such action
and improvements in Langdon are not at
present contemplated. other than such mi
nor ones as current developments may in
dicate."

DISTRICT AS AGENT,
Assessors View of Duty Regarding
Property Sold for Taxes.

c. H. Wiltsie of Rochester, N. Y, who is
probably the largest purchaser of property
at tax sales in the District of Columbia, has
written to the District Commissioners pro-
testing against the practice in the asses
sor's Office of notifying persons when their
property has been sold for taxes. Mr.. Wilt
sic holds that after property has been sold
to a private party it is beyond the jurisdic-
tAon of District officers, and as the private
party has to take all risks connected with
the matter he should be left at liberty to
handle his investment in his own way He
says he has no objection to the advance
preparation of the bills, but he does not
think that bills for property sold to private
parties or any other form of notice should
be sent without the previous consent and
direction of the party who holds the GER
tificates and is charged with all liability
and responsibility connected with the mat
tor
The assessor has reported to the Commits
sioners that it was the intention to send
out bills for all property sold for taxes at
the sale of 1900. He says: I'm the tax sale
law approved February %, 1898, 1 failed to
discover that the purchaser of property at
tax sale Is entitled to any more than his
certificate of sale and a deed hereunder in
case the property Is not redeemed within
two years.
I'm my opinion, the District of Columbia
is the agent Of both parties during the pe-
rlod In which property so sold may be re-
deemed
''The question of notifying owners that
thelr property has been sold for taxes is
one of the administration Of the office of
assessor, and it has been found that such
notlncatlonS have been the means of cor
recting many errors and otherwise protect
ing the taxpayers of the District
