A W eak Sister,

President Palma, OF Cuba, may be a
patriot all right, but he Is certainly a
weak sister,says the Globe. He is al
ready in trouble. He is a great man
to make sentimental speeches, and
weep, and tell how he loves America,
but he won't do.
General Wood, who has just relin-
pushed his place as the head Of the
Cuban military government, does not
believe that the independent govern.
ment under the guidance Of Palma will
maintain longer than nine months or
year. He thinks, after the passage
of this period, 80 per sent Of the edu-
Gated Cubans will be clamoring for
annexation to the United States. No
man has had equal opportunity with
Wood for observing actual conditions
in the island and knowing the people.
As the head Of the military govern.
ment he was supreme dictator. He
knows Of the difficulties which the new
republic has to face. and which were
temporarily overcome by the united
power Of the United States. The en-
barrassments Of President Palma have
begun in the clamor which is already
reflected in the Cuban congress for
liberal provision for the members Of
the insurgent army. One Of the
members Of the congress has bolted,
and threatened to resign because Of a
minor difference with bis colleagues.

The action Of President Palma in
appointing bis brother.in.law, Gen.
Rus Reverb, to succeed Col. Bliss as
collector Of customs at Havana, has
started q storm Of protest. While
the United States is not in position
to admonish or advise, and will not
do SO, it is known that the appoint
ment is not approved here. The
qualifications Of Revere seem to lie in
his relationship to the president Of
the new republic, and the fact that
he has been identified with the mill
tsry party and has stood with them
In their demands for liberal pro-
vision from the insular treasury.

Maintaining Our Wheat Crops.

Ono vi tno mUst PgactiCul hItlcIe
for the West to appear in the jun
magazines is that In Scribner's OF
1.-The New Agriculture" by ". s
Harwood, telling Of the work being
accomplished at the various expert
ment stations Of the United States
toward increasing the yield and util
ity OF the farms. OF especial interest
is this concerning the development Of
wheat:
1.-THE fear which was quite recently
expressed in scientific circles in Great
Britain that the end OF our capacity
to raise the greatest Of all cereals,
wheat, was already in sight, had in it
much to disturb. The spectre Of ul-
innate starvation for a very large
number Of the race, however, seems
to have been laid for all time by the
investigations which have been car.
ried on for the past decade at one OF
the stations in the great wheat re-
gion OF the Northwest. This station,
q department Of the School Of Agri.
culture in connection with the Uni
versity Of Minnesota, has been at
work testing old varieties Of wheat
and creating new ones. Wheat,
selt.fertilizing grain goes on repro.
ducing itself through any number Of
centuries. The grain OF pre.Adamic
periods would, il planted through all
the centuries, produce precisely the
same wheat grown in that far time.
so, to produce q new wheat, man
must come to the aid Of nature.
ITO create new wheat, pollen
from one wheat flower is placed on
the stigma Of another wheat flower in
the dawn Of summer morning, the
fertilized wheat is encased in q mask
Of tissue paper to keep away the birds
and insects, and, in due season, that
which nature alone could not accom-.
plish has been done-a new wheat has
been added to the plant life Of the
world. Hundreds OF new wheats
have thus been created at this station.
Hundreds have also been found want
Ing when tested, lacking in some one
essential, or in many; but out Of the
a few, less than q dozen all
told, have been found to be superior
TO those from which they were bred
better in yielding power, stronger to
resist disease, as rich in food quail
lies. Selection, too, has been an i'm
oortant feature Of the work, the
choosing of the choicest types for seed
md breeding"

CRITICS WERE HOSTILE.
Sarah Bernhardt's Berlin Engagement Not the Success Expected.

Berlin, November 1.-Sarah Bernhardt finishes her Berlin engagement Sunday evening. Though the tickets sold at high premiums and she had abundant applause her engagement has not been the sue cess expected.
 The critics were rather hostile, especial- ly In the case of Hamlet" The negotia- tions for the actress appearance at Dresden and Loipsic have been dropped owing to a disagreement about the terms. After playing at Hamburg, Mime. Bern hardt will return here for a performance for the benefit of the German and French consumption cure fund. The proceeds will be divided equally among them. Mme' Bernhardt's playing in Germany has re- called the ruin of Baron Won Magnus through a dinner given in honor or the actress at Copenhagen. The baron who was German minister to Denmark ana most of the members of the diplomatic corps were present, and various toasts were drunk The baron politely suggested that they drink to France.
 "Yes," cried Mime. Bernhardt, we orinh m to France; but to all France-to Aisace and Lorraine"
 The baron drank to the toast, Prince Bismarck dismissed him and the paroh died in an asylum for the insane.

 A pea from his blower struck the eye of John Paul. motorman. on a Fulton street electric car just as the car was going down Franklin street and Paul smartlng under the pain elapper his hands to his face. It was only for an instant that he neglected the controller and brake but in that time the car crushed into the Larrabe street station patrol wagon that was conveying two pa- tients to the Washingtonian home. The patrol wagon was wrecked by the impact and all of the five persons riding in 1t were injured Four persons in the car also were hurt
 The police were unable to learn the identity of the boy whose pea blower caused the accident.

deference to the opinions of the strict Sabbatarians of the community. The community has also another side, con- sisting of people who are not irrelig- ious, but who are obliged to get little recreation on Sunday or have none at all.
 So far as l am personally concerned, I am aware taht few extremists will ex- claim that I am not consistent, and that I have broken my promise to keep the fair closed on Sunday. In reply to their criticism I will only say that my con- science Is entirely clear on this point. Nothing but good can come to any living soul from hearing the splendid rendition of the worlds choicest religious music by such band as that of the great Liberatf. If it were otherwise I would exclaim as loudly as the most extreme person in Birmingham against any departure from the original plan.
 The fair of 1902 stands on It's record as the most orderly. the highest toned and the most interesting state fair ever held in Birmingham. The chief of police has himself testified to it's character in every respect. Every person who has at- tended will say the same thing. l feel that we must not be too narrow or one- sided In this matter. 1t is better to do good than to be consistent, and 1t is better for a man to change his mind, If he finds he is wrong. It Is our duty to consider the working people of this dis trict and to give them an opportunity to hear Liberati perform the elevating music which is on the programme for to- morrow. ALLEN J. hhhbS.

HIGH PRAISE
Bestowed Upon the Davis Boiler Feed ing System By Expert Mechanics.

All during the period of the state fair praise and commendation of the display of the Davis Boiler Feeding System has been heard on every side. Men from all over the state have visited the exhibit and expressed high approval of the sys- tenn, and congratulations for its maker, MT. H. J. Davis, and it's packers, the Moore & Handley Hardware company. The letter printed below, from a com mittee inspecting the machinery at the fair grounds, should be especially gratify- ing to the men who have perfected this system.
 It reads as follows:
 Birmingham, Ala. Oct %, 1902. MT. A. H. Sims, Superintendent Alabama Fair Association, Birmingham, Ala: Dear Sir-We, the undersigned, have made very careful examination of the Davis Automatic Boiler Feeder. and we believe it to be the most perfect auto matic boiler feeder now on the market. It is so sensitive in operation and has so few working parts, that 1t requires fully recommend same to those inter- ested in a first-class automatic boiler feed. Yours truly,
 JOHN w. S. JONES. Mechanical Engineer, Superintendent Bir- mingham Machine & Foundry Go.
 H. w. ENGLISH, Late Master Mechanic Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power Company.
 W. H. HERRICK, Master Mechanic Continental Gin Co.,, Avondale Factory.
 When one considers the undertaking of devising a system of boiler feeding that will feed water into a steam boiler just as the boiler evaporates 1t from any pres- sure from ten pounds to one thousand pounds, 1t will be realized that the task is a difficult one and that the committee above named have given deserved praise to Davis system. After years of tIreless work and study MT. Davis has accom- plished this task and Birmingham is proud of him and the large and ex- cellent firm with which he Is affiliated, the Moore & Handley Hardware com pany, on Powell avenue.
 The feeder is fast gaining favor all over the country and Moore & HandIey have just had inquiries concerning it from France. which goes to show the far reaching influence it is already exerting.
