MISS STONE RELEASED.
Dispatch From Constantinople
Says the Brieands Have Re-
leased the Missionary.
Husband of Nine. Tsilka Arrest.
ed for Completely in the
Abduction.
1t Is Believed That He Conspired
With the Brisands to Sc.
cure Ransom.

Paris, Feb. 19.-The Temps publishes
announces that Miss Ellen NJ. Stone
has been released by the brigands who
have held her captive since September
3, last, and has been handed over, in
good hath, to the dragoman of the
American legation. The dispatch adds
that the Reverend Tsilka' has been
arrested on the charge of completely in
the kidnapping of Miss Stone.
The companion in captivity of Miss
Stone was Mime. x. S. Tsilka, a Bull
garian woman. wife Of Mr.. Tsilka, a
Macedonian teacher of Samakov.
Miss Stone, while travelling with Nine.
Tsika and a party of about fifteen
friends, was captured by brigands in
the district of Salonica, September 8.
Since that time vigorous efforts have
been made by the United States gov
eminent and missionaries to obtain
the release of the captives. The brig
ands demanded a ransom of G25,000
(Turkish), but only $4,000 was coll
lected for the ransom and this sum was
by NJ. Gargiulo, chief dragoman of the
American legation at Constantinople,
and w. w. Peet, treasurer of the Am
erican mission at Constantinople. who
met the brigands on the road to the
Podrome monastery Nine. Tsilka
was educated at the Mortified semi
nary AT the time of receiving her
American training and education she
was Miss Stephanora, Bulgarian.
Having been converted in childhood
to the Christian belief, she came to
America after having refused to marry
the man of her parents choice. DIR.
Dwight l.. Moody becoming interested
in her welfare, found place for her
in his noted school. Having finished
her training at that institution, she be-
came acquainted with Mr.. Tsilka,
Macedonian, who had also been edu-
Gated in the United States. At that
period he was preparing for work as
medical missionary. Soon after the
completion of their training the couple
We're married and went to Bulgaria,
where they at once entered upon mis-
sionary work. Miss Stone is one of
the missionaries of the American board
of foreign missions. She has been at
tached to the Salonica mission since
1878. She was born at Roxbury,
Msss., and her home is in Chebea,
Mass, where her mother resides. -Four
of Miss Stones brothers are in bust
ness in Boston.

THE Republicans at Wash
ington are abandoning the pol
icy of denial and defence that
they started when the atrocities
of the war in the Philippines
first became known. Republi-
cans condemn these atrocities
in their speeches in Congress.
and Tuesday the House of Rep
resentatives adopted a resolu-
tion calling upon the Secretary
of War for copies of all orders
and instructions given to the
commanding officer in the Phil
ippines relating to the conduct
of military affairs in the island
of Samar, and especially those
orders issued prior to and relat,
ing to the campaign of Gen.
Smith. This is an effort in the
direction of placing the respon-
sibilities for the horrid atrocities
that have disgraced the war,
but it means nothing more, and
no one will have to suffer for
the wrongs committed.

DEMOCRATIC satisfaction is
the most conspicuous featu
in Congressional circles at this
time, and there is ample reason
for it. The victory that the
Democrats of the House won
when they got the amendment
repeating the differential duty
on refined sugar, which officials
of the Sugar Trust admit would
cut their profits $S,0OO,OOO a
year, put on the Cuban reciproc-
ity bill before it was passed
has been made effectual by a
conference of Republican Sena-
tors, which has decided that the
Senate shall pass as a party
measure a substitute for the
House bill and that it shall not
contain the repeal of the differ
entail duty. That is just what
Democrats hoped for, although
they doubted whether the Re-
publican leaders would be short
sighted enough to give it to
them. By killing the differen,
tial repeal the Republican Sen
ate will show that it cares more
for the interest of the Sugar
Trust than for the interest of
the sugar consumers, and the
showing will be so plain that it
will be useless for Republican
editors and stump-speakers to
try to deny it. That showing
should of itself be sufficient to
elect a Democratic majority of
the next House. Is it any won
der that Democrats in Congress
smile and are well satisfied
with the situation.

THE publication of this year.
Annual report of the Snow Hill
Building and Loan Association
this week together with the
fact of the recent organization
of another new National Bank
in this county-the Citizens
National Bank of Pocomoke
City-and the increase of the
capital stock of the CONNER.
cial and Savings Bank, calls to
our mind and attention the
gradual growth of these and
similar financial institutions in
the county, both as to numbers
and as to strength. A compar.
ison of the number and strength
of the financial organization in
the county reveals facts that
are almost incredible.
We have only to go back a
little more than fourteen years
to find not a single bank, OF
other financial institution OF
any kind in the county, where
as now, we have nine banks
and four Building and Loan As
sociations, altogether having
an aggregate capital and sur
plus of almost a million dollars
and deposits and other assets
amounting to considerable more
than this stupendous amount.
Think of this condition and
compare it with the time when
it was impossible to get the
money on a hundred dollar
check in the county. The won
der is how did we make out with
out them. Another question
confronting us is why have they
become so numerous and strong:
1t is more than we can tell, but
it is a fact nevertheless that
none hesitate to admit.
This is not only the situation
in Worcester County, but we
find the same condition of af-
fairs existing in every other
county in the State and in al.
most every State in the Union.
Banks are springing up like
mushrooms and in almost
every case they are doing well
! --succeeding--increasing in cap
'ital and earnings year after
year. each seemingly helping
the other.
And the end is not yet. Where
and when it will come, none
seem to know, and few even
dare to predict.

LOW STATE TAX RATE.

The people of this State have
good cause to congratulate
themselves on the extreme low
tax imposed by the State. The
rate has been fixed at II cents
on the hundred dollars and it is
believed to be as low, if not
lower than that of any state in
the Union.
The bulk of this is levied for
the public schools-l04 cents go
ing to that purpose; II cents for
consolidated loan, J cent for
penitentiary loan, ! cent for in
sane asylum loan, cent for
State building loan. and cent
for loan of 1902. Thus it will
be seen that noneof the revenue
which comes from this direct
tax upon property goes toward
the support of the State govern
ment.
1t must be admitted on all
sides that the affairs of the diff
ferent Departments are being,
wisely judicially and economi-
cally managed under the tenn
pered guidance of Governor
Smith. whose zeal is the welfare
of the State, and whose inter
est in the people insures a con-
tinuation of good government.
His administration will shine
as "A beacon among contempt
rary luminaries and the people
will point to it in the future as
an example well worthy of
emulation. Cumberland Times.

IMPORTANCE OF THE FARM.

The place of the farm as
leading factor in the general
affairs of this country is not so
generally recognized as it might
be. There are few outside of
the large business operators
who realize that the farm, after
all, is the pivot on which swings
this country's prosperity. 1t
matters not which way the eye
is turned there are marked evil
dences in proof of this claim.
There is a proneness among
many to find all kinds of ex-
plantations but the right one
as to why this country prospers.
Some attribute it to our big ex-
port trade, others to our in
creased financial Importance,
others still to our immense do
nestle trade, while others
ascribe the whole aspect of af-
fairs to the general stimulation
due to the great expectations.
The crux of the whole matter is
found on the farm. While
there are many who believe
that prosperity moves in waves
or cycles coterminously with
the rise and fall in the prices
for iron, even that theory is af-
fected by the conditions on the
farm.
A moments reflection will
convince anyone that the chief
producer of prosperity is great
activity in domestic trade.
This trade is directly dependent
upon the farm. Abundant crops
with good prices, never fail to
swell enormously the consump-
tive power of the American PEG
pie. The greater the power of
consumption, the greater, in
proportion, is the volume of
general business. That explains
the direct connection between
the farm and the degree of ac-
tivity of our domestic trade.
In exports farm products rep
resent so large percentage
that nothing else approaches il
for comparison. Our immense
shipments of grain and other
agricultural products not only
help to preserve the balance of
trade in our favor, but they al
so regulate the ship freights suf-
ficiently to make possible the
securing of satisfactory rates
for the exports of general
cargo. This balance of trade
in our favor, which is due pri-
marty to what the farm and
plantation send out, is what
gradually shifted the worlds
financial center from Europe to
this country.
AS to the prices of iron and
their bearing on panics and
prosperity, it is not difficult to
remember that the low prices
of iron five years ago were at
tributable to the depression
among the great farming ele-
ment. Low prices for far., pro-
ducts and a series of Ill. ;atis-
factory crops had crippled the
purchasing power of the coun-
try so that the general demands
for iron were enormously re-
duced, and prices of iron fell
accordingly.
The few facts give some in
sight into the important posi-
ton held by the farm i'm the af-
fairs of this great country. The
sensitiveness of the speculative
market to the varying rumors
retrospective good or bad crops
tells a significant story. They
all tend to show that while this
is growing to be a marvellous
manufacturing country, the
roots of our prosperity still
draw their main sustenance
from the soil of the farm. Bal
