DECIDES AGAINST DOWIE.

Lace Works.
Chicago, Feb. 3.-Judge Tuley ap-
pointed Elmer Washburn receiver for
the Dowie lace industries and ruled
against the faith healer in almost ev-
cry contention raised In the suit
brought by his brother-in-law, Samuel
Stevenson. The chancellor held that
the agreements entered into by Dowie
and Stevenson wherein Dowie gained
control of the Englishman's property.
were void on the ground of undue in
luence.
Dowie was also ordered by the court
to give to Stevenson a certificate of
fully paid stock in the lace corporation
to the amount of 100000. The sole
point in which Dowie's contentious
were sustained was that Stevenson
could not recover the $50, 900 given by
him to his wife, Dowies sister. unless
he brought the action in his capacity as
the executor of the estate.
By direction of the court Mr.. Wash
burn will not interfere with the cree
ton of the lace manufacturing plant at
Zion until he receives further orders.

From Farmers Review: Men have
sery different ideas as to the propriety
Of pasturing winter wheat. One man
may pasture his wheat and Justly
think that he has not pastured 1t too
closely. and from the results conclude
that pasturing wheat is q great disad-
vantage to It; in fact, he thinks he
knows that he has injured his wheat
very materially. although he knows
that he has not pastured 1t very close
ly at any time. Another man may
pasture his wheat as closely as the
other one did his. and perhaps closer.
and at harvest conclude that he had
greatly benefited his wheat by pastur'
ing It. Now. think It is probable
that neither Of these men we're mis-
taken. The one injured his wheat by
pasturing 1t at the wrong time. and
the other benefited his wheat by pas
turing 1t at the right time. I think
that IL grasshoppers or any other In
sects or any kind Of stock cut on
wheat near the ground soon after II
comes out of the ground (any time be
fore 1t stools out) it will injure it very
materially and probably kill 1t. But
II pastured very closely after 1t has
made a good growth and is well stool
ed out 1t will do 1t no harm. provided
the stock is taken on before the wheat
joints. Every stalk Of wheat that is

Washington. Feb. 1.-The comment
of Judge Advocate Lemly and Solicit.
tor Hanna upon the appeal to the pres.
ident of Admiral Schley has been
made public by the naval department
1t is charged first that the counsel for
Schley have shifted their ground from
the position taken during the contro.
versy before the naval board. 1t is
charged that all the grave matters
are ignored and the appeal is based
upon unimportant features on which
there could not have been any real
difference of opinion with the court.
Like the appeal a considerable por-
tion of the comment" is devoted to
the question of command and quota

inquiry and the testimony. from re

Progress, Of agricultural Investigates.

Progress Of agricultural Investigates.
The agricultural colleges and exper-
iment stations Of the United States
have enjoyed . year Of unusual pros
perity and have materially increased
their resources, facilities and number
of students. There are now 81 expert.
ment stations in the United States.
The total income during 1900 was ST.
l70,S57. The stations employed 693
persons in the work of administration
and inquiry and during the year pub
lished $50 annual reports and bulletins
which were distributed to over half
million addresses. There are now
some 500 agricultural experiment sta
tons and kindred institutions in the
different countries of the world. The
Department of Agriculture has been
making a special study OF the history
and present status of the farmers In
stitute movement in the United States
and abroad. Many problems regard.
ing better organization and further de-
velopment of the institutes have arisen
and in view Of the national and
international aspects Of the farmers
Institute movement, the Department OF
Agriculture should give the instituted
more help. 1t is urged that the office
of experiment stations be made the
central agency for the promotion OF
the interests of The institutes ana that
Congress be asked for a special ap
preparation to enable the Office to un.
dertake this work. The agricultural
investigations in Alaska have been
continued witt favorable results. veg
etables in considerable variety have
been grown both in the coast region
and in the interior, and barley and rye
matured at the new station establish
ed at Rampant in the Yukon Valley
last year. An experiment station has
been established in Hawaii in the vi
cinity of Honolulu, and experiments
with taro and other crops have been
oegun there. A beginning OF expert
ment station work has also been made
In Porto Rico, where experiments will
be undertaken in the culture OF coffee
and citrus and other fruits.

Some fthe late Randolph Chur-

Herman Thomas Buckles thoughts
and conversation were always on q
high level Once he remarked: Men
and women range themselves into
three classes. or orders, of intelli-
gence: you can tell the lowest class
by their habit Of always talking about
persons; the next by the fact that
their habit Is always to converse
about things; the highest by their
preference for the discussion of
IDEAS"
The Hon. James Brice, M. p. In an
article on VIM. r. Gladstone. relates
this anecdote: "Once In his later life
when a question of great delicacy
and difficulty was coming on In the
House of Commons, and everybody
expected to see him watchful and
alert and perhaps fidgety over 1t, he
deliberately composed himself to
sleep on the treasury bench, and en-
joyed refreshing nap until the time
came for him to speak. when, with no
apparent effort, he awoke. delivered
a speech in which he said exactly
what was needed, and not a word
more. and sat down. leaving his OPP
ponents SO puzzled by the safe and
guarded generalities in which he had
half expressed and half reserved his
views that the subject dropped In
short time. because no one could find
in his words anything to lay hold of.
II was often remarked that the great
er the emergency the more composed
and the more equal to 1t did he
seem"
