The many friends and acqaint.
lances here OF Mt. Clark, where he is
we'll known, were shocked to hear
of his sudden death last Sunday. Il
appears that for several days he had
been in depressed spirits, was ner-
vous aud afflicted with insomnia.
Soon after 12 o'clock Sunday he LETT
his home on East Main street, Port
Jervis, and evidently walked over
to the Neversink river, which is
nearby, and threw himself in the
stream Some men passing the old
Glenette property about $50 saw a
cap, coat and vest in cellar OF
an old ice house and discovered
tracks leading to the water. Search
was made and the body Of Mr.
Clark soon after discovered lodged
In some driftwood. It is assumed
that he sought death during a tenn
porary alteration of mind.
He was a son OF the late Samuel
Clark of Hainesville, N. j., and was
born in. that place September "a,
1880. Nov. 3. 1858, he married
Hannah, daughter Of the late
Isaac GARNER, also Of Sandyston
township. In 1881 he removed to
Port Jervis, where he has since re-
sided He is survived by his Wild
ow, two sons, Isaiah of Port Jervis,
Eugene of Orange, n j., and one
daughter, Jennie M wife Of Ex-
County Commissioner James H.
Heller of this place. Two sisters,
Mary Jane, widow Of Matthias Car
ner of Port Jervis, and BlondiDa,
widow Of Elias Merrill Of Montague,
N j. also survive.
The funeral conducted by Rev T.

terry.

Rrports of Horses Ind Mules


There were exportsd for the year
ending June 80. 1901, from this
country 1880 horses valued at
nearly nine million dollars. In the
same period the number Of mules
was "a, 405 valued at over three mil
hon dollars. This shows a rapid in
crease in the export trade in these
animals for in IN 1894 the number of
horses was only 5,246 and of mules
2,O68. In 1894 the total value Of
horses and mules exported was
.sl, $40, $50 and in 1901 the value was
s12. .Os9, ,Il2.
By the above it would seem that
the predictions made some time age
as to the future utility Of the horse
and that this was fast becoming a
horseless age have failed Of fulfill
ment. The war in South Africa has
given a large impetus to the trade,
but the day Of tho faithful horse
and patient mule is far from beng
over and prices are likely to be well
maintained for some years.

Trout Fishing Poor.

Reports from different parts of
the state indicate that trout fishing,
the season for which opened Tues
day, was generally poor, the catches
small and the trout of rather infer
ior size. The latter is attributed in
some places to the fact that the
state sends out such small fry, and
II is Thought no trout less than one
year old should be supplied. The
cold weather was a damper on the
fish and fishermen.

Ever since last Tuesday the house
has been the scene of an interesting
struggle between the administration
and the beet sugar forces and every
thing points 90 victory for the for
mer. A prominent republican, who
has vigorously opposed any conces-
sion to Cuba, said Saturday. "The
last gun has been fired in the de-
fense Of the Dingley schedules but /
am afraid it has produced no mater
ial effect. When such men as Payne
and Grosvenor and Long abandon
the ship there is little hope left and
there now seems to be little doubt
chat the speaker and the president
win have their way in the house.
Our plan of taking of the differeR.
tial on refined sugar, which we
realized would have defeated the
whole measure, has been practically
defeated by those men whom we
had hoped to protect. They did not
understand it aud today there are
beet sugar producers in the capitol
protesting against it on the ground
that they are producers of refined
sugar The democrats have nc
hope either They appreciate that
any onslaught they may make on
the general tariff schedules will be
defeated and they viii make such
an attempt only in a half hearted
way.

As soon as the Chinese exclusion
bill was disposed Of and it was vot-
ed on Wednesday, at l p IN, Senator
Lodge called up the Philippine gov
ernment bill. The bill is the re ult
OF some of the hardest work ever
performed by r committee and
while it does not go far into the fu-
ture, it aims to give the Filipinos all
that they can reasonably expect for
the present with the implied prom
ise that in the fullness of time they
shall have a representative govern
ment First, however, they must
demonstrate their capacity for self
government in local affairs and
learn by practical experience the
lessons of self control and integrity
OF administration which are essen
tial to every self-governing COM
munity. The house committee on
insular affairs has framed a meas.
ure providing for civil government
in the islands along lines much sim
liar to those laid down by the SEN
ate committee, except that the gold
standard is made the basis Of Phil
ippine currency in place Of the sill
yer standard provided by the senate.
The minority report of the house
committee is also similar TO that Of
the minority report to the senate, in
that it provides more explicitly for
giving to the Filipinos complete in
depence.

The house committee on agricul-
ture has reported favorably the bill
providing for the establishment OF
the Appalachian forest reserve.
The bill carries an appropriation Of
$40, OO0. 900 Of which $4,000, 600 will
be Immediately available. Repre-
sentative Wadsworth, chairman of
the committee, recently returned
from a trip through the region
which the bill proposes to reserve
and he told me that be strongly ia
vored the measure. "At the same
time, said Mr.. Wadsworth, II ap-
preciate that it is a herculean un-
dertakiug. am in favor OF it and
yet [ am almost appalled, at the
size of the project" Apropos Of
this bill. Mr. clifford Pinchot, chief
forester Of the government, told me
some time ago that the damage ia
the section which it is proposed to
protect by this reserve was almost
incalculable. He stated that tho
loss to property from two storms
last year amounted to upwards Of
SIS, 1000, 900, and he believed that, to
very large extent, this damage
would be obviated in the future if
the bill should become law as the
conservation Of the forests would
prevent the rapid melting Of the
snow and the consequent damage
from rapidly swollen streams.

why Corn Ears Don't Fill Out.

After all that has been said and writ
ten about the corn not filling well on
the cob the past season | have not seen
the real cause given even by our ablest
writer's. They have given as the cause
that the tassels were burned and killed
by the great heat before the pollen
ripened. BY careful examination we
found plenty of pollen even in the
worst tassel killed fields.
The real cause of damage was the
scorching of the silks. 1t should be I'M
derstood that every grain has II silk;
that each silk is hollow tube catch
ing the pollen and carrying it up to the
cob, forming a grain. The outer silks
on the end extend back and form the
grains at the butt of the ear and, being
on the outer side, We're more exposed
to heat than the inner and shorter ones
which form grains at the small end of
the ear and hence were more damaged,
causing in great degree more damage
to the butt than the nib of the ear. 1t
has been proved by experiment that a
greater yield can he obtained if the tas-
sci is removed from eN cry other row
before the ripening of tie pollen. 1t is
known that nature is very generous in
her ways and that one tassel will pol
lenize every stalk for many yards.
