CIENCE IN FARMING PAYS.
Efforts of Secretary Wilson to Edu-
cate the Agriculturists of
the Country.

The secretary of agriculture, Mr..
Wilson, halls from a farming state
and is himself successful conductor
of farm. He believes that not
enough attention is paid to scientific
agriculture by the colleges of to-day
and he has taken up the agitation
of this matter as hobby, says a
Washington report. Wherever he
makes a speech he tells his hearers
that his department. utilizes the serv-
ices of every young man it can find
who has had thorough training in
some branch of scientific agricul-
ture. There is a great demand for
this kind of service, and the depart
ment has the utmost difficulty in
holding on to it's experts because of
the growing outside calls that are
being made on them.
There are about 1000 people in the
department of agriculture who are
engaged on scientific agricultural
work, vet hardly one of them came
into the government service fully
equipped. Secretary Wilson calls at
tention to this fact to emphasize his
statement that the colleges should
give more thought and attention to
the development of agricultural sci
ences. There are some so agricul-
tural colleges in the country calling
for competent teachers and 60 or 70
agricultural experiment stations
where there is always an opening
for a trained scientist, There is
money in becoming an agricultural
expert and Secretary Wilson thinks
that our young men would do well
to choose such profession rather
than the overcrowded fields of law

THE TOWN HAD OFFSETS.
So the Drummer's Claim for Damages
Didn't Bring Him as Much as
He Sued For.

81 had been knocking about Kan
sas town in the evening"" said drum
mer with a limp, according to the Dal-
las News, land in heading for my hotel
| walked plump into an open sewer
which had no red light of warning.
II had bad fall and broke my hip
and wasn't yet out of the sewer when
l made up my mind to sue for $4,000
damages. l was taken to the hospital
and next day the city attorney called
on me to know what was going to do.
81 am going to sue the town, of
course replied.
"'Rut what foFq' he asked.
"'For personal damages. There
should have been a railing or light,
but there was neither, and my injury
will lay me up for weeks
"'But don't you know what you es-
capped by falling into the sewer% he
asked.
"'No.',
"'Then let me tell you that the roof
of the hotel fell in last night and killed
three men and if you had been in your
bed you would have been crushed to
pulp. You really owe this town some
thing instead of talking about dam
ages
"When able to get out" continued
the drummer, Il found that public
opinion was against me and the peo-
pie ready to stand suit, and by ad-
vice of a lawyer L settled the case for
$125.
II didn't even get all that. In
tumbling into the sewer l broke two
planks and brought on a cave-in and
the damages were assessed at $3.50 and
taken out of the money"

Mr.. SAGE CAUGHT MAPPING.
Heavily Mortgaged Property Accepted
From Concern in Difficulties.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Attorney Gen
eral Davies has brought a suit to wind up
rs insolvent the German american Real
Estate Title Guarantee Company, of IFS
Broadway, and Justice Gildersleeve has
appointed John Henry Hammond tempo
rary receiver. The State Insurance De-
partment, which recently made an investi-
CATION of the affairs of the company, re-
ported that its capital of $4,000 had
been impaired s40S.4iS. or 81 SO per cent,
within year.
Russell Sage was director OF the COM
pany up to ten days ago, when he re-
signed Mr.. Sage had lent the company
s315 200. 1t is said that before his resig-
nation he insisted on a settlement, and
finally agreed TO accept some thirty par
cells of real estate owned by the COM
pany. The appraised valuation of the
property is in the neighborhood of what
was owing to him.
An official OF the company said today
that Mr.. Sage was advised to take the
mortgages, but that he took the deeds in
stead. Nearly all the property he took,
the official said. t., mortgaged beyond what
il will bring at auction.
The troubles of the company are attrib-
uteG to poor management and to inaDili-
ty, with its small capital. TO compete with
the larger companies.

MANY SACKS OF MAIL LOST.
Orders for Thousands of Dollars Burned in
Charlottesville Wreck.


BALTIMORE, March 25.-Thousands OF
dollars worth of cash, checks. drafts,
money orders, stocks. and negotiable Sc
curities addressed to Baltimore banks and
fast mail train on the Southern Railway.
near Charlottesville, Va, last Sunday
morning. The total face value of the
checks. etc, destroyed is estimated at
close upon 100000.
Nearly every Baltimore bank and hun
dreds of wholesale and jobbing houses will
sustain losses as a result of the wreck.
Hundreds of enquiries have been address,
ed to Postmaster Warield in the last two
days regarding the likelihood of any part
of the mail on the wrecked train being
recovered
He. in turn. asked the officials at Wash
ington regarding the situation, and they
replied that the two mail cars attached
to the train were completely destroyed.
and that the mail matter which they car
ried is now absolutely worthless. Not half
dozen letters, it is said. were recov-
cred from the wreck of the two cars.
Baltimore houses and banks are just
at present making heavy collections in the
South on account of the spring trade. and
in consequence. all northbound mails
bring great amounts of money or the
equivalent. The mail destroyed on Sun
day morning was particularly heavy one.
This was especially true of the registered
pouches, which were more numerous than
usual.
There was money in them destined not
only for Baltimore. but for Philadelphia,
New York, and other Northern cities.

Another Line From Cherry Run to Mar.
tinsburg, w. Va, Planned.

BALTIMORE. March 25.-An important
improvement has been authorized by the
Baltimore and Ohio management. This is
the building of new line from Cherry
Run to Martinsburg, W. Va. 1t will be a
cutoff line and built solely to escape the
grade upon the present route. The line
as it now exists has a grade of about
1.257 per cent and the new line will be
less than one-half of one per cent.
This Improvement is made to cheaper
the cost of carrying freight over this d.
vision of the system. The present line
will be used for passenger trains when
the new line is finished.
The company has put into active SER
vice the third-rail system installed on the
belt line between Camden station and
Wayerly. Final tests were made on Sum-
day. and now one of the electric locomo-
tives is regularly using the third rail.
The other two locomotives will follow
suit as soon as they are equipped for the
purpose.

That He Betrayed Confidence.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 25.-Ex-
Gov. Dan W. Jones caused a great sensa-

attacking Senator James K Jones on the
Senator's alleged deception regarding the
Governors candidacy for the National
Worlds Fair Commission. Governor Jones
closes his statement as follows:
II never had the slightest intimation
from Senator Jones that he was not urg-
ing my appointment to the last. I be-
lieved him sincere and relied upon him.
He deceived me shamefully, and, as / be-
lieve now, Cor the sole purpose of keeping
me from appearing before the President
in person. / have the most cogent reasons
for believing that / would have been ap-
pointed If l had gone in person to the
President.
I'm conclusion, | will add that Mr.. Neill
did not publish Senator Jones' letters to
me without my consent. and while it is
painful to me to give testimony to the
perfidy of a man for whom l had enter
tanned a most lively feeling OF friendship,
L might say affection, for full half CEN
fury, i have felt it my bounden duty to do
so, and / have stated merely cold. naked
facts; nothing but facts"
