May Be Nucleus of Beef Merger.

The New York Herald Of yesterday says:
Is the new packing concern Incorporated in
New Jersey Tuesday under the name Of
Morris & Co., with capital stock of s.. OOO.-
CO., the nucleus Of the long talked of meat
trust?
The question is suggested by the blanket
charter issued to the company. and by the
non-committal attitude Of the Chicago in
corporators, who compose the firm Of Nell
son, Morris & Co. -
Edward Morris of Nelson, Morris & Co.
admitted that the principal members of his
firm were the incorporators Of the new firm
of Morris & Co.. but refused to state for
what purpose the new company was Or
gan1zed further than to say that it was
matter of convenience.

The Newspaper Beading Room.

From the Boston Transcript
It Is found that no one room of the Bos-
ton Public Library has SO many visitors as
the newspaper reading room. and 1t is
easily explained. 1t contains not only home
papers all over the country, but foreign
papers all over the world, not free to the
public until this room was opened. News
papers have become necessity OF lie TO
the business man. to the pleasure seeker,
the fdler, all of any avocation. the first to
receive attention before beginning the work
of the day. When DR.. Watson Clan Mac
Laren) was In this country some OF his Bos-
ton friends took him into the library as
one Of the sights Of Boston. Among those
present were Dr. Hale and Newburyport
gentleman. DR.. Watson was comparatively
silent until he came to the newspaper read
ing room. when he seized Liverpool paper
with which he busted himself, and with dif-
ficulty left 1t behind to proceed with the
narty. He exclaimed: Il have not seen a
home paper before since l arrived IN Amer
ica. There Is no institution In Europe. or
elsewhere, like this to provide paper for

The Potato.
From the Springfield Republican.


AS to the origin OF the potato, the CYCLIC
pedias tell us that 1t is well known. They
say that it was first brought into Spain
from Quito, which is south Of Colombia,
but that the wild plant exists in a good
many other places. They do not say that
it was native to North as well as South
America. but that Is the fact, and the In
dams of the Atlantic coast cultivated it..
A river in Nova Scotia, the Shubenacadie.
preserves Its memory, for the name Is q
corruption Of the Algonquin word segeehen,
the wild potato, and the word for place
which is also corrupted to "quoddy," as
Passamaquoddy. and has suffered other
changes, and gave itself to ''Acadie," the
Acadia Of "Evangeline'' and history. It Is
also native in the mountains of Colorado,
whence came the Colorado beetle, the .po-
tato bug" which finds the cultivated po-
tato so much to its taste. These wild tu-
berous plants are all of the solanum fam
n.y. aud are regarded by many botanists
as perhaps all varieties OF the solauum
tuberosa.

Deadly Explosion in pit..bure.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 13.-The Shera-
den yard of the Panhandle railroad
was the scene last evening of the most
disastrous explosion Of oil cars, fol-
lowed by fire, known In this section for
. many years. A score Of lives were lost
and about 200 persons were so badly
burned that, according to the Judgment
Of physicians in attendance, seventy
five per cent. Of them will die from the
effects Of their injuries.
The cause of. the catastrophe was
the explosion Of train Of naphtha cars,
which were being switched at the yard.
In the switching the rear car tele-
scoped car forward. The leaking
naphtha ignited from switch light,
causing an explosion which threw the
flames fifty feet high. Much of the es-
Gaping naphtha ran through Cork's run
to Esplain borough, distance Of one
and One-half miles, and caused another
explosion, blowing to atoms the Sey-
mour hotel and the Collins House, on
River road, and badly wrecking a
frame building near by, In which were
congregated 200 or more men from
Pittsburg and vicinity, betting on the
races and ball games.

The Boys Go B.eh to tn. r.r.


The Boys Go Back to the Farm.
A report from Indiana says that OF
the total number OF men registered
this year in the agricultural college Of
that state not more than 10 per cent
are willing or care to accept salaried
positions. The remainder are prepar.
Ing for work ON their own farms.
There 10 demand for men trained along
agricultural lines, and It cannot now
be supplied. Contrary to the general
impression very large proportion Of
the students In our agricultural, col
leges 20 back to the farms when they
have completed their courses. The
Ohio Agricultural College about a
year ago undertook to find out how
many Of the agricultural students
leaving the college went back to the
farm. Tho proportion was found to be
very large. A considerable number
Of agricultural students naturally drop
into the work Of teaching. For this
opportunities are constantly opening.
The young man that becomes thor.
oughly imb1ed with enthusiasm con.
corning agriculture gravitates back to
the farm. and It takes very high wages
to hold him In any other position.

object to Change Of sabbath.

New York, May 13.-The discussion
concerning the observance of the Sab
bath which arose during the annual
session of the Central Conference of
American Rabbis In New Orleans re-
recently has stirred up more or less ar
gument among the orthodox Hebrews
In this city.
A vigorous protest has been made
against the liberal school of rabbis,
who raised the question in the con-
ference. to the extent of suggesting
that the Sabbath Day should be
changed. The Talmud Torah commit
tee of the Chab Seedok congregation,
this city, met and after denouncing
the conduct of the rabbis sent a tel
egram to the conference at New Or
lenns as follows:
"Rappoport at Braunschweig confer.

A circular Is being distributed

calling on the Jews to remain stead
fast to their traditions, and to aid in
founding schools to keep the faith
alive.
