Broom-Corn Growing.

President Kincannon of the I. /.
& G., speaking of the Industrial OUT
look in his section, said that
broomcorn would be probably ex-
tensively planted next season. The
report of the special committee
from Noxubee county, that went out
West to gather data on the culture
Of broomeorn, is SO favorable that
many farmers announce their deter
mination to try it. Mr.. 'Kincannon
stat~ that the demand for the crop
is SO heavy and the supply SO linn
tied that it is easy to make con-
tract in advance for all you can
raise at high figures. One farmer
has been offered $3.50 per acre for
all he has in sight. The estimate
is that one-third of the gross pro-
ceeds is net profit to the planter.

The rains of the past week have
improved the condition of the crops
of the Delta very materially. The
corn was suffering severely from the
drouth and the rain came just in
time to save it from utter ruin.
There are still few sections of the
Delta that are without rain for sew
eral weeks, but only in small sec-
tions. The hail that accompanied
the rain last week did some damage
to young corn and cotton. The crop
conditions on the whole, however,
are very favorable.

NO INVESTIGATION.

West Haven Authorities Will Not Probe
 Into the Death of Clara Barton.
 The statement made yesterday that the death of Miss Clara Barton, who died in West Haven Saturday, would cause rigid investigation to be made by the West Haven medical authorities, was emphatically denied last night. Dr, Wilson, who attended the young woman for a week before her death, said that there was no thought of an investiga- tion and that the reports to that effect were groundless.
 Miss Barton was buried yesterday af- ternoon from the house of her cousin, Mrs. John Shuttleworth, of Washington avenue, and the funeral was a large one. Rev. MT. Squires, of the Congre- gational church, conducted the ser vices.
 It was stated yesterday by an after noon paper that Miss Barton had been treated cruelty by Philadelphia detect ives and that while in that city she was thought to have had smallpox. Dr. Will son, who attended her, however, said that Miss Bartin died from consump- tion from which she had suffered for a long time. There was nothing suspi- cious concerning her death.

The lace department is not alone one 1 of the most attractive to this store, but
 one of the most complete outside Of
 New York city, and reflects unbounded 1 credt on the member of the firm, John l Desmond, to whose selection and ex- 1 quisite taste the patrons of this firm 1 are indebted for the magnificent assort- | rnent. MT Desmond has made this one of the most artistic departments in the store, one that is appreciated by the | fashionable women of New Haven and vicinity. The duchess scarfs were beau tiful The heck ruffs of lace and chiffon were nnumerable There were scarfs of crepe de chine embroidered with tieur de lis and clover. Last but not least were the Gamble & Desmond importa" tions of lace robes. To be appreciated they must be seen. Laces and robes were in duchess, flo, escurial, Irish cHo- chet, noniton point de gausze, and others too numerous to have space for even a reference and too beautiful for description.
 The silk and dress goods department positively eclipses all former displays. In the silk department the French in fuence predominates. In addition to plain silks the lowered are in evidence. The taste in selection is marvellous. This firm takes the lead in the sale of silks.
 Nothing less than a good sized volume would do justice to the wool dress goods. which are all plain Venetians, broadcoths Etamine, Henrietta cloth, nuns yelling, crepe de Paris and voile, which is really beautiful, send forth the edict that women to be stylish this sea- son must be artistic.
 The hosiery, underwear, upholstery china, art department trunks, boys clothing notions, etc, demand the at tention, elicit admiration, even if space prevents chronicling their use beauty and the completeness of each and all departments of this immense firm of Gamble & Desmond, who certainly re- Ceive the hearty congratulations on the success of their spring opening of 1902.

MISS ADDAMs TO SPEAK.

Under Auspices of Association of Col.
 lege Alumni-All Interested Invited.
 The fact that Miss Jane Addams oi
 Hull House, Chicago, is to speak in New Haven tomorrow evening is ol ! great interest to everyone who has fol- 1 lowed the course of the development of the social settlement idea. Miss Addams will speak in the Historical society building, under the auspices of the Con 1 Collegiate Alumnae.
 | To Miss Addams, Hull House owes it's real life. She was one of its two founders; she is It's head worker, Throughout it's history her personality has been dominant, and her many es- says have been among the important contributions to the history of the set clement movement, possessing literary as we'll as scientific charm.
 | Hull House is on South Halstead street, Chicago, where the old, pillared house was 40 years ago, the home of l Charles J. Hull. Fallen from its high estate, it had become junk shop and tenement at the time when the new settlement took possession of 1t. Found ed in September, 1889, the same year which saw the organiza tion of the New York College Settlement, it has grown until it now has evening classes, man ual training, gymnasium, coffee I.house. social clubs, music school, play ground, kindergarten, a day nursery and diet kitchen, besides college ex- tension classes for which the students pay a fee of 50 cents for each class for twelve weeks. In these classes more than 30 courses are offered
 Nevertheless, to quote Miss Addams herself, Hull House Is not a college settlement, but a soeial settlement" It is the residence of a representative on the state board of charities, and of the probation officers of the juvenile court. Tn spite of itself, Hull House does good deal of legal work We have se- cured support for deserted women, damages for injured operators, furni- ture from the clutches of the install ment store. One function of the settle ment to its enighborhood somewhat re- sembles that of the big brother whose mere presence on the play ground pro- tects the little one from bullies."
 A large number of cards have been sent out for Miss Addams talk, and 1t is probable that an enthusiastic audi ence will greet her, not only on account of her own fame, but also because of the growing local interest in all that pertains to settlements.
 After the address, the members of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae and a very limited number of their guests are invited to meet Miss Addams in the home of Miss Clara Seymour, 34 Hill house avenue
 During her stay in this city Miss Addams will be the guest of Miss Sarah Scoville Whittelsey, 8e7 Prospect street. Miss Whittelsey is the president of the association.
