Washington. Nov. lS.-An important
conference bearing ON thc subject OF
the Cuban reciprocity treaty was held
at the war department yesterday tbs
participants being Secretary HAY. Sec
Rotary Root and General Tasker Bliss.
The latter was called into che confer
ence at Secretary Hays suggestion be-
cause OF his expert knowledge o. the eA-

hay had talked on this subject with
Senator Cuiion. chairman OF the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations. aud
also with Senior Quosada the Cuban
minister here. senior Quesada was not
able TO submit TO Secretary Hay the
draft OF tho reciprocity treaty which
has been under consideration SO long
by the authorities at Havana. as the
document has not left that place.
So officially the United States GOV

Education That Educates

The improvement 0f our country
schools is the foundation stone of
agricultural progress. and other
foundation no man can lay. This is
not theory, but a fact proved by
statistics. Wherever the percentage
Of illiteracy is highest, there are the
profits OF farming smallest. And for
a reason not far to seek-there has
least progress been made in the intro
duction Of improved and scientific
methods.
We may live out our live dreaming
dreams about the good work that
might be done by our agricultural
college, exeriments stations, and farm
papers, says the Progressive Farmer,
but all this dreaming is a snare and a
delus;on unless we realize that before
the college or paper will be appreciat-
ed, must come the public school,
teaching the people to read and under
stand, just as surely as the foundation
stone must be laid before the rest Of
the structure is worth considering.
We have lately made progress in the
matter of public education, but much
work yet remains to be done. And
since such large per cent Of these
pupils Of the country schools are to
take up farming as life work, it is
not unreasonable to demand that in
them the principles of agriculture be
taught. We do teach these boys much
about banking, selling and buying
bonds, diScounting, foreign exchange,
etc., things with which not one in ten
has anything to doin after life. Why
then should it be thought strange
when one dares suggest that it would
be better to teach them something OF
plant growth, animal life, plant and
animal feeding, etc., subjects that
wo uld be equally useful in training
the mind and would be of continual
benefit to the larger part of them in
their lie work? Let the farm boy
learn little less of foreign exchange
and Greek histoy, need be, but teach
him at the outset that farming is mot
drudgery, but an intellectual pursuit"
that, like other callings, pays hand
some returns for intelligent, scientific
care and management.

Million Dollar Fire.

BY fire which broke out in their
plant at the stock yards Saturday
night in Chicago, Swift & Co. suffered
a loss which is estimated by the Off
cials at 81 100000. The fire was con-
fined to one building standing at the
intersection of Packers avenue and
Broadway. This structure was four
stories high, built of brick, and was
300 feet square. The first floor was
occupied by the wholesale meat mark
ct of the company, the second by the
shipping department and the third
and fourth by the general offices of the
company. The latter are said to have
been the largest single offices in the
United States, more than 500 en-
ployes working on one Of the floors in
single room. The cause OF the fire
is not known, but it was discovered
near the engine room. 1t spread so
rapidly through the building that it
was found impossible to save anything
in the structure. The burned build
ing adioinS portions Of the plants OF
!Armor & Co., and Libby, Mcneil &
Libby, and for a time the fire depart
ment had Il desperate fight to keep
these buildings from the flames. W.
J. McGonigle, the superintendent OF
the plant, said that the loss will ag-
gregate fully one million. The loss
is fully covered by insurance.

Roat Sinksin ConSaree.

\ special from the State says Fri
day night it was stated that large
flat used by Sub-contractor .Ietfords on
the government work on the Congaree
river had overturned late in the after
noon while out in the river with Mr..
JeffordS and about % negroes aboard.
1t was further stated that Mr. JeffordS
and many OF the negroes had managed
to reach the shore. but it is supposed
that about five of the negroes were
drowned. News Of the accident was
not received in the city until about 10
o'clock Friday night and it was ex-
ceedingly difficult by phone or other
wise to get any accurate information.
At night some details were secured.
The story was to the effect that there
were about Is men on the boat, which
was working near the Golfer dam, load
ed with sand when the accident oc-
CURED. Most Of the negroes left as
soon as rescued, before they could be
checked up to see how many were miss
ing. but it is considered more than
likely that from three to five of the
men were drowned. None OF the
bodies had been recovered up to II
o'clock Friday night.

Suicide of an Editor.

Col. J. E. Smithee Of Denver, Col. :,
was found dead in his room at the
Merchants hotel in Little Rock. Ark.
Saturday afternoon. \ pistol claSped
in his right hand and a bullet hole
through his head explained the cause
of his death. \ note nearby gave this
further explanation: For cripples,
paupers, and mendicants have no
use. Fearing that may get in one
of these classes by reason OF the in
jury with which l was recently visit
ed. I end the doubt" While in New
York several months ago Col. Smithee
severely injured his ankle by a fall.
He had been in Little Rock about
two months and was preparing to
leave for Denver in few days.
The coroner held an inquest Saturday
afternoon and decided that bis death
was caused by gunshot wound self
inflicted. Col. Smithee was native
of Arkansas and was so years OF age.
He served in the Confederate army
and after the war became connected
with the Arkansas Gazette Of that
city. In 1874 he was elected State
land commissioner and was subSe-
quently chairman of the State Demo-
cratic central committee. In 1878 he
was an unsuccessful candidate for
governor of Arkansas. He then moved
to Colorado. but returned to Little
Rock in 1896 to become editor of The
Gazette. which place he held over two
wears then returning Denver.

Protects Her Husband.

\ special from Augusta says Thurs
dav afternoon Gus Hood, merchant
in the mill district, in Augusta, shot
and fatally wounded Frank Smith, a
cotton mill operative. Operatives
were gathered around the store dis
cussing the strike situation. Smith
has been trying to get operatives to
go back to work. and in the discussion
some strong talk was directed at him.
Hood came out on the sidewalk and
Joined in when Smith knocked him
down with club. Two Others joined
in the scrap and held Hood while
Smith hit him again. Hoods wife
rushed out with a pistol and fired once
into the crowd. Hood got up, match
ed the pistol from his wife and fired
the four remaining shots at Smith, all
taking effect in the abdomen. Smith
was taken TO the city hospital and
cannot live. Hood was arrested and
taken to jail.

Had a HouDle Thumb.

The Savannah Morning News of
Friday says james Doster, alias Elliot
Johnson, colored, IN, escaped convict
from Columbia, S. c., was captured
Friday by Detective Nose Davis, who
by so doing secures $50, the reward
offered by the Carolina authorities for
DoSter's arrest. The negro, who has
been working at the gas works since
October, denies that he is the man
wanted, but his description SO closely
agrees with that Of the escaped con-
vict that there is no doubt he is the
man. One of the principal marks OF
Identification is a double thumb.
Strange to say it was by similar
malformation that Detective Davis
was enabled to identify and arrest
another man some time ago. 'Doster.
who is wanted for house-hreaklng and
larceny. was sent up in 1898, for a
three-year term, but escaped within a
short time and remained at large un-
1899. He served a little over two
years, and then escaped again, Aug.
10, 1901, and remained at large until
arrested by Detective Davis
