MINNESOTA NEWS.
Available for Forestry.

Gen. C. C. Andrews gives some inter-
esting figures regarding lands in the
state which can be successfully planted
with trees He says:
''There arc in central and northern
Minnesota, in scattered localities, g.
600, 900 acres of land which is too hllly,
too rocky or too sandy for agriculture,
but on which pine forest, when in nor
NAL condition, will annually and per-
petually yield a25 feet board measure
per acre. This would be an annual
crop for the whole 3,00O,O 900 acres OF
CTS, 900, 900 feet, which would now have
the average net value, standing, of VI
per 1000 feet, or in all, So 800, 900; a
revenue equal to nearly 3 per cent on
capital of 500, 900, 900, the value of the
forest. The forest, besides many other
indirect benefits, such as beauty OF
landscape, water supply and the like,
would give employment to $4,000 work
men and support population OF
quarter of million people.
A part of these 100000 acres OF
waste land belongs to the United States,
which would doubtless grant them to
our state as soon as selected by the
Geological Survcy-which it can do
without any. new legislation. The
other part belongs to private individu-
ais from whom the state would have to
buy the lands.

publishers suggesting another and the
authors friends advancing third. 1t
will be a romance dealing with life in
Indiana, in the vicinity of Terre Haute
during the time of the Mexican war,
and it will convey not few OF its in
cidents to the famous Catholic school
near Terre Haute, est. Marys OF the
Woods" The book, however, Mr..
Harrington insists, will not be classed
as a historical romance. This he says
in the face of anticipating critics who
have endeavored to predict the char
acter of the work.
The love story is delicately woven
round the lives of girl studying at the
Catholic institution and a young man
of the clear-brained, horny-handed
class peculiar to the early period of
Indiana's history.
Mr.. Harrington said: 81 will doubt
less hear more from my friend at
Seattle now. Shortly after the pro-
duction of The Gentleman from In
diana friends of mine residing in Seat
tie, Wash, sent word to me that
a certain resident of that city was
parading under the name of Booth
Harrington. claiming to have written
nv book He was buying copies right
and left and sending them to his
friends with a neat little picture of
himself and card saying that this was
his first venture into literature and he
wanted their criticism. My friends
desired to know whether would have
them expose him or not. It seems that
he also claimed that while he had writ
ten the book was reaping the golden
benefits in the shape of royalties. 1t
did not take me long to decide what to
do. wrote them to encourage him in
his pipe dream explaining at the
same time that every copy he bought
was putting that much more money
in nv pocket. I needed the money.
'sThis latest effort of mine is in some
respects a more elaborate one than any
of the others preceding. At least
have worked harder on it. Of course, I
cannot say what success it will meet
Within fact, there are as yet several
incomplete chapters.
II have endeavored in my book,
nameless as yet, to combine romance
and character delineation. At the
time of which have written the farm
ers and townspeople were of such
character as to attract the most fas-
tidious student. I have also endeav-
ored not to become historical, and I
think have succeeded to a certain ex-
tent. The life of the story will, rest
in the hands of the people in very
short time"

and a number of wealthy and distin-
guished relatives
The staff of an ambassador is much
the same as that of legation, but
there are more privileges and great
er distinctions. An ambassador is
called upon to do a great deal more
entertaining than minister, and is
required to make greater show OF
splendor and magnifcence. The rank
is much higher and the recognition
is more courtly and official.
The elevation of the Austra-1un-
garian legation to the United States
to an embassy is an important diplo-
matte move on the part of Austria-
Hungary and marks an important
epoch in the relations of the two
countries. The fact that there has
never been an embassy is generally
supposed to have been due to a cool
ness on the part of Austria Hungary
to the United States on account of q
disturbance in this country in which
mob of Hungarians was roughly
handled. The action of the Austria
Hungarian government in appointing
it's minister, Ladislaus Hengelmuller
Won Hcngelvar, to the rank of an
ambassador, is taken in this country
as an indication that the government
wishes all former breaches to be
healed and spirit of cordially es-
tablished.
Mr.. Mccormick is very popular in
Vienna, and it is rumored that he
has had more than q little to do
with the recent action Of the Aus
Hungarian government in elevat-
ing it's legation to an embassy. The
initiative in the matter was taken
by AUSTRIA ungary's' foreign minis
ter, Count Goluchowski, and as it is
the custom in diplomatic relations
to always respond to such an eleva-
ton by a similar one in this coun-
try, Mr.. Mccormick will be made am
bassador as soon as Mr.. Hengel-
muller is officially recognized as such
in this country.

TObaccO for the Wards.

The state board of control has under
Amusement a plan for manufacturing
tobacco for the use of inmates of state
institutions. Every quarter the state
buys two tons of plug chewing tobacco
and half ton of smoking tobacco 1t
is furnished to inmates of the state
prison, insane hospitals and asylums,
and the school for the feeble-minded.
The intention is to manufacture the
tobacco at Saltwater for the use of all
the institutions. If this can be done
without paying the revenue tax, the
board of control will undertake it. 1t
is thought that the tax would not be
imposed, as no tobacco will be sold,
but the question is being investigated.

A NEW RURAL NOVEL
Will Deal with Life in Indiana in
Mexican War Time.
Booth Huntington, Noted HOOsier
Author, IL Now Putting Finish-
ing Touches to It-AbOut to
Become Benedict.

Booth Harrington, of indianapolis,
the well-known author and playwright,
is completing the concluding chapters
Of another Indiana novel.
The new book will make its appear
ance in time, the authors friends as
sert, to answer a double purpose. 1t
will come not only at an opportune
time for the publishers, but will not
be amiss in assisting the author in
furthering his political ambitions.
For Booth Harrington, the author,
expects to become Booth Harrington,
the politician.
Then, in addition, there is strong
rumor going the rounds that Booth
Harrington, the bachelor, is about to
become Booth Harrington, the bene-
dict. Mr.. Harrington, however, does
not admit this assertion. He will not
:, countenance the rumor. Neither does
Mr.. Tarkington's family, unless, in
truth, the authors mother be except
ed. She has been quoted as admitting
that the author and the young woman
whose name has been linked with that
of Mr.. Harrington by the gossips like
each other-nothing more.
Yet an intimate friend of the Indiana
author said only a day or two ago:
<'Mr. Harrington is working on the last
novel he will write before he is mar
ried."
However," as Mr.. Harrington, him
self, says, "the rumor does not affect
the novel now in hand"
AS in his first success, says the Chi
cago American, the author will return
to Indiana for the plot of his story.
It will be laid in the city of Terre
Haute, where, by the way, the authors
father met, wooed and married the au-
thor's mother, and it will deal almost
exclusively with bits of Indiana char
acter. Mr.. Harrington considers it
his most pretentious and most success

reception at the Germania club imme-
diately following the luncheon which
the men of the club had given tho
prince. The vase has on one side fig
ure of Aurora in relief. She stands, or
rather floats, in the rays of the rising

present was not offered until after per-

and others.
