Worked Hard for School.

1t is due largely to his efforts that
the school holds the place it now does
among the schools throughout the coun-
try, as he has made it his practice to
spare neither his time. talent, nor his
own private means in the interests of
his pupils. For a number of years he
paid the portrait models and life models
himself, and gave the Corcoran Water
Color prize of s25 in gold each year to
the successful competitor, besides as
sisting many promising students to con-
tinue their work abroad.
The Corcoran Art School has grown
so wonderfully during the last few years
that the post of instructor to all the
classes is a most difficult one. In many
schools the students consider themselves
favored If they succeed in getting more
than two or three criticisms a week. 1t
has, however, been Prof. Andrews Gus
tom to make the rounds of his classes
twice daily. besides being in attendance
at the night school from p. m. to 10
p. m. each evening.

Wisconsin is a marked success.
Missouri Experiment Station.
A similar investigation is being car
ried on at the Missouri experiment sta
tion upder the direction of Prof. II. J..
Waters. Apples. strawberries and nurs-
cry stock were the crops irrigated. Sum-
marizing the results of his work. Prof
Waters states that the season was very
disastrous to strawberry plants which
were not irrigated. many of the old
plants dying, and practically no runners
being formed under ordinary treatment.
The irrigated plants developed strong
crowns. and undoubtedly stored an
abundant supply of food for next years
crop. The strawberry nurseryman. the
man whose business is to supply plants
for the commercial strawberry grower.
Will find in irrigation absolute protec-
ton against failure" 1t will require
next years record of the yield to deter
mine the full measure of the benefits of
this years irrigation. Referring to the
result of this years watering OF nursery
stock. Prof. Waters believes that nurs-
eryinen will find irrigation exceedingly
profitable. that it will result in securing
larger growth in young trees, trees with
better formed heads. and possibly saw
ing of one year in the time when nursery
stock can be placed on the market.

Southern Rice Fields.

The rice fields of Louisiana and Texas.
which have been given careful study dur
ing the past season, furnish striking
illustration of the profits to be derived
from the adoption of irrigation in this
section. Even with the expense of pump
ing, rice growing in these States has
proven remarkably profitable. Lands
which were formerly worth from 81 to
SO per acre. and used only for grazing,
now sell for from $50 to $40 per acre.
and yield an annual return equal to the
value of the land.
The report points out the need of early
reform of irrigation laws. Interstate
questions are arising which cannot long
be ignored. although laws to provide for
the proper division of water within
States are urgently needed. To prepare
these. requires careful and impartial in
vestigation of existing conditions by
engineering and agricultural
experts.
Appended to the report Is list OF
publications of the office Of experiment

from the car, and as he did so he said
to number of newspaper men present:

famous in the country. Standing back

hands of workmen for many months.
The improvements consist of two new
buildings facing Fourth avenue and
the deepening Of the chancel Of the

Of Mrs. William Aston, Said to Be
the Cause Of the Tragedy.
Newport, R. L, Aug. 9-Disappoint-
ment over a broken matrimonial en-
gagement is believed to have been the
cause of the suicide here yesterday of
Robert Reading Remington, of New
York. Mr.. Remington came over to the
club house from his rooms at the La

afternoon, and after reading the papers
for some time, went to the committee
rooms on the second floor. An hour
and a half later two muffied reports
We're heard, but those in the building
paid no attention to them. Later Mr..
Remington's body was found by a
member who went to the committee
room. Remington had evidently been
dead for some time. A local undertaken
took charge Of the body.
Mr.. Remington was we'll known
among the summer residents in this
city and had been closely identified
with the social world here for the last
seven or eight years. His engagement
to Miss May Van Allen, daughter of
James Van Allen and granddaughter of
Mrs. William Astor, has been discussed
for some months. At first it was de-
MED, and then affirmed, but it is gen
orally believed there was definite en-
gagement, which, however, was broken
some three weeks ago. 1t is said that
Mr.. Van Allen was greatly opposed tc
the engagement from the beginning.
Since then Mr.. Remington has been
respondent although when asked about
the engagement he steadily affirmed
that he was to be married in the fall

American Traininu For prIeste

Manila, Aug. 18.-Father McKin-
non, who first came to the Philippines
as chaplain of the First California
Regiment, and who is now pastor of
the Catholic Church in Ermita, Ma
Mia, suggests when the Philippine
hierarchy is reorganized that 400 of
the younger native priests be sent to
the United States for a years train

McKinnOn believes such a training
would impart to them the spirit of
American priesthood and a beneficial
knowledge of Americans and their
language. He proposes to ask Ameri-

The Elmira Advertiser is authority
for the following story of an experience
of Chancellor Epson with a plagiarist.
During his pastorate in Albany DR..
UpsOn was presiding at a meeting at
which a speaker of wide reputation as
an orator and writer delivered an adj
dress. The two were not acquainted,
save by reputation. The orator had
made but little progress when DR.. Up
sons attention was attracted by the
familiar form Of the words and line of
thought. The conviction soon was
forced upon him that he was listening
to his own production, delivered some
years previously in distant city. And
to the end the speaker spread out the
stolen goods as his own. While listen
ing to the orator DIR. Upson decided it
would be ungracious for him to expose
the piracy, and when at the conclusion
he had to comment upon the address
he said he had followed the argument
with much interest and found himself
in close agreement on the position TAX
