and besides the potatoes have raised
other vegetables for their summer and
winter use. We know that we have
been able to bring pleasure and COM
fort out of some vacant lots at least.
The committee also had about fifteen
bushels of potatoes planted and culti-
waited by the superintendent. The yield
of these will be placed at the disposal
of the mayor and county commission
ers for the benefit of the needy this
winter We hope to have several hun
dred bushels for this purpose.
One lot, which adjoins the public IL

way. 1t was rough and untidy, hav-
ing huge bill boards as ornaments, and
always covered with rubbish and
weeds. With the assistance Of the
superintendent of city parks and of To-
cal florists, this has been changed into
a flower garden, laid out in beds. with
sodded borders and filed with orna-
mental and Towering plants. The
Western Fence Company built an or

members of the fire department, locat-
ed directly across the street. have

feeble and very hard of hearing. The
work was not done In the most scien-

kept down, for while the wet season
was very favorable to the growth of
potatoes the weeds also fiourished re-
markably.
The gardens were laid out uniformly.
and an effort was made to have the
planting and cultivating done in the
most approved fashion, but We had
many peculiarities to contend with.
Some of the gardeners insisted that GER
tain seeds must be planted in the
dark of the moon," even IL ii made
their crop late and doubtful. Some
believed that whole potatoes planted
close together would yield much better
than small pieces With plenty of space
between the hills. We could not have
many inflexible rules the first year. as
We were experimenting to some extent
ourselves. The gardeners could not or
did not give equal time and care to
their ground, consequently some were
able to raise a much larger quantity of
vegetables than others. The only re-
turn asked for what we furnished them
was one row of potatoes. The yield has
varied from one to three bushels per
row in the same ground from the same
seed, showing the difference in culti-
walton. Those who have returned the
potatoes have appeared very grateful,

with such hearty cooperation and en-

has been satisfactory and accomplished
much good In different ways.

THE COST OF WAR.
Interesting Statistics Regarding the
Insurrection In the Philippines -
There Were 1851 EnGagementsWith
the Enemy.

Washington, July 24-Maj. James
Parker, of the adjutant generals Of
fee. has compiled some interesting
statistics regarding the insurrection
In the Philippines. There were 2,561
engagements with the enemy, be-
tween February 4, 1899, the date Of
the Manila battle, and April 80, 1902,
fixed as the virtual downfall of the
insurrection. The larger proportion
of these fights were attacks from
ambush on the American troops, or
skirmishes in which only small de-
tachments took part.
"In almost no case in these en-
gagements." say Maj. Parker, did
American troops surrender, or have
to retreat or have to leave their dead
and wounded in possession of the
enemy. Notwithstanding that in many
cases the percentage of loss was
high"
The number of troops that have
been transported to the Philippines
and have arrived there up 10 July 16
last was Abs officers and 1913, SOB men.
The average strength for the period
of insurrection, was approximately
10000.
Maj. Parker summarizes the casual
ties of the American army as follows:
Killed or died of wounds, 90 Of
ficers and 936 enlisted men; deaths
from diseases, AZ officers and 553 en-
listed men; deaths from accidents,
six officers and 125 enlisted men;
drowned. six officers and 257 enlisted
men; suicide, 10 officers and 72 en-
listed men; murdered, one officer and
| Of enlisted men. Total deaths, 139 Of
ficers and 4,O16 enlisted men. Wound
ed, 100 officers and 2,7O7 enlisted men,
a total of 2,S91. Killed and wounded
and deaths other than by disease, 2S2
officers and 4,1SS enlisted men; total
| 4,470.
\ large proportion of the deaths
| by drowning occurred in action, or in
active operations against the enemy.
| Mai. Parker makes the percentage of
| killed and wounded to the strength
| of the army 81.

A FLYER WRECKED.
Fireman Killed and Engineer Per-
haps Fatally Hurt. on Rock Island
Road, Near Omaha.

Omaha. Neb, July 25.-A passenger
train westbound on the Chicago, Rock
Island g. Pacific road was wrecked
three miles west of South Omaha
Thursday afternoon. The fireman
was killed, the engineer perhaps fa-
tally hurt and two express messen-
gers badly bruised. The dead:
Victor Erickson, fireman, Fairbury,
Neb., crushed to death beneath the
engine.
Injured: Charles Porter, engineer,
Fairbury, Neb., legs crushed and body
bruised, will probably recover.
Henry Fisher and Charles Caldwell,
express messengers, both badly
bruised.
The train was known as the Chi
Cago-Denver flyer, and carried, be-
sides baggage and express cars, two
coaches, four sleepers and a dining
car. Shortly after the train came to
a stop the passengers rushed out Of
the cars, just in time to avoid an eX-
plosion of the gas tanks. None of
the passengers were injured, beyond
a serious shaking up. The fire which
resulted from the explosion was put
out by the train crew before it did
any great damage.
The accident is believed to have
been caused by spreading rails.

TRADE BULLETIN.
Scarcity of Fuel Is About tho Only
UnfayOrabIe Feature.

New York, July 26.-R. G. Dun &
Co.js Weekly Review of Trade says:
Each day brings the agricultural pro-
ducts of the nation nearer maturity,
and as the possibility of any serious
injury becomes smaller, the feeling
of confidence in sustained trade grows
stronger. Storms destroyed much
property in some sections, and the
prompt restoration of structures has
added to the activity of building
trades. Railway stocks rose to near
high record quotations and gold was
exported, yet money sold easily. july
oats succeeded corn as the leading
speculative cereal, but all distant
grain options tended lower.
Insufficient fuel is the one serious
difficulty in the iron and steel indus
try, interruptions and delays from
this cause becoming more noticeable
each dav. In market where there
IS comparative dullness because de-
liveries cannot be made promptly, the
outlook for long continued activity
seems favorable, especially as search
ty of fuel cannot continue factor
indefinitely. All forms of pig iron
have sold far ahead and there is no
evidence of overproduction in the
near future.
Footwear factories have returned
70 almost full operation, contracts
coming forward freely from whole
salers.

MIR. Bryan Censures Those Prominsns
Wen In tho Democratic Party Who
Have Opposed Him and the Doc
trines He Advocates.


Boston, July 25.-Nearly 1000 demo-
Gratis gathered at Nantasket yester-
day and participated in the 'har-
mony' meeting, arranged by the New
England Democratic league, the new
political organization which is ex-
pected to develop its strength in the
fall campaign. Mayor =. \. Collins,
OF this city, acted as moderator" as
he expressed it, and presented in or
der, Edward NJ. Shepard, of New
York; Senator Carmack, of Tennes-
see, and William j. Bryan, of Ne
braska, who eXpounded and discussed
the issues of this campaign to the
marked satisfaction of the audience.
Col. w. \. Castor and Charles S.
Hamlin, rival candidates for the
democratic gubernatOrial nomination
in Massachusetts, were both present,
while Lewis Nixon, of New York, and
Congressman Wilson, of that state,
and John X. Thayer, of Massa-
chusetts, were conspicuous among
the guests.
Hon. Henry +. Hollis, secretary of
the league, who was the active spirit
in arranging the meeting, marshalled
his forces at the boat, leaving for
Nantasket shorty after II o'clock,
the party including all the Organza-
tions guests. 1t took an hour to
make the run down the harbor and
on arrival the party was escorted to
the Rockland house, where a meet
ing of the league was held. 4 recep-
tion by Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Shepard and
Mr.. Carmack followed and then 800
members of the league sat down to a
banquet in the great dining room of
the hotel.
Mr.. Carmaclt followed Mr.. Shepard
and for nearly an hour and a half he
held the attention of his hearers. His
discussion of the trust issue brought
forth applause which was repeated
frequently during his argument on
the Philippine question.
The presentation of Mr.. Bryan de-
veloped great enthusiasm. Cheers
greeted him as he stepped to the
front of the platform and he was sew
eral times interrupted by demonstra-
tions of approval. Among other things
he said:
''In view of the numerous harmony
dinners and the discord they have
created, it may not be out of place
to consider the basis of harmony.
Harmony is but a synonym for order
and is not the result of chance, but
a product of ineXorable law.
ut is impossible to secure har-
mony between people of opposite
sympathies, and it is a difficult thing
to change a mans sympathies.
at requires political regeneration
to make Il democrat out of an aristo-
crat.
There are some who call them
selves democrats who have them
selves undergone n change which has
alienated them from the democratic
party or from any party worthy of
the name.
ITO attempt to patch up an ap-
parent harmony between those who
are not in sympathy with democratic
purposes is not only waste of time,
but would prove disastrous"
