STABLE FIRE DISASTROUS.

New Milford, Conn.

Flames Spread to Fifty Buildings In
New Milford, Conn.
Danbury, Conn.,, May 7.-Between
100000 and 100000 is the estimate
Of loss by fire which destroyed the
business section of New Milford, six
teen miles north of here. Nearly fifty
buildings, including most of the stores
in the place, two banks and three no.
tells, were burned.
The fire started in the stables Of the
New Milford House on Railroad ave-
nue., opposite the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford station. The cause Is
unknown. Stablemen first discovered
flames bursting from the hayloft. In
ten minutes the stables the hotels and
several small outbuildings were in
flames, and the railroad station was in
grave danger.
The village fire department, which
consists only of hose company and
hook and ladder apparatus, was unable
to get sufficient water from the six inch
main which supplies the place to COM
bat the fire, and the flames spread
quickly.

Only One Witness Heard by the

Washington, May 7.-Henry G. Mott.
raw sugar buyer for the American Sug-
ar Refining company, continued his tes-
timony before the senate committee on
relations with Cuba. He said the trust
purchases of Cuban sugar from Oct. /,
1901, to Jan. l, 1902, were 45, 100 tons.
There was no way of showing from
the books Of the trust what Americans
own sugar plantations in Cuba.
Mr.. Mott said that owing to the cost
of storing sugar and deterioration of
stored sugars the refiners kept very lit
tie on hand and made an effort to keep
only sufficient supply to meet the de-
mands, amounting to $4,000 tons per
week. The committee then adjourned.

Famous Literary Lights Who Rev.

Famous Literary Lights Who Rev
eled In Coffee and Tea.
Famous literary men have all had
their favorite beverages.
Tea and coffee. however, head the
list, and these two drinks, which the
famous William Goblet denounced as
"slops," have been the means Of spur
ring many a drowsy journalist to re-
newed energy.
Voltaire, the king Of wits and littera-
teurs, was a confirmed coffee drinker.
In his old age he often took fifty cups
a day, which sadly hurt his digestion
and fastened his death. Balzac never
drank anything else but coffee, and
during the early hours Of the morning.
for be began at IL o'clock midnight, he
used to take copious drafts of this
stimulating drink.
Sir James Macintosh was so fond of
coffee that he used to assert that the
powers Of a mans mind would gener-
ally be found to be proportional to the
quantity Of that stimulant which he
drank. Cowper pays tribute to tea in
the Task" when he says "the cup that
cheers, but not inebriates." He was
very fond of the Chinese beverage.
But the king of tea drinkers was sam
uel Johnson. On one occasion Sir Josh.
VA Reynolds reminded the great man
that he had drunk eleven cups Of tea.
whereupon Johnson retorted: "Sir,
did not count your glasses of wine.
Why then should you number my cups
of tear"

Asserted That Uncle Sam Should De-
mand Apology From Italy.


London, May 7.-Private letters re-
ceived here from Rome give eery diff
ferent complexion to the arrest of the
American naval officers at Venice.
They say that instead of thanking the
king Of Italy for his clemency in par
doning the Americans the United
States should demand an apology and
assert that the members of the Ameri-
can colony were too eager to take the
Italian view Of the situation and be-
lieve everything the Italian papers said.
One correspondent writes that when
the United States ambassador, George
Won l.. Meyer, first heard the news he
was "inclined to let justice follow its
course, but on second thought he was
touched by the probable ruin of the
future career of the American officers
and therefore approached the foreign
minister to arrange matters if posi-
ble."
The action Of the American consul at
Venice, Henry A. Johnson, was much
criticised by some people as showing
want Of tact" but, according to re-
ports which have now arrived here. he
acted in the most energetic manner and
with proper backing would have had
the officers returned to their ship.
The United States consul's failure to
exercise tact seems, according to the
correspondence from Rome, to have
been failure to "offer Immediately ade-
quate pecuniary compensation for the
damage done and to those who were
wounded in the fight"

One Row of Corn * Miles Long.

Kansas is simply inexhaust stable ip
the matter of oddities. Just when it
might be supposed that she had run
the whole gamut, she appears with
another novelty such as nobody else
in all the world would ever have
thought of.
For example, Kingman county
farmer is growing a row of corn lit
tie more than twenty-five miles long
and for no other reason than to be
singular and extraordinary. He COM
mepced in a fifty-acre field and went
round and round in a circle with a
lister until he had planted the whole
in single row, which commenced at
one of the edges and terminates in
the middle. When he cultivated it,
of course he had to plow the same
way. AS appearances go the field
will make as much crop as it would
if planted in the ordinary way.-Kkan-
sas City Journal,

Union which would be the better for
being occupied by sheep; and still the
sheep are not there and we do not
grow wool enough for our own use,
out import much of it from the other
side Of the globe. This is the case of
both Individual and national stupid
dty. 1t is stupid, too, for the indivi-
dual Eastern farmer to emigrate West
to grow sheep and wool and then ship
them back here two or three thcus-
and miles to a market where there
are plenty of good unoccupied, cheap
sheep lands near his own door. There
are millions of acres of such lands be-
tween the Atlantic Ocean and the
Mississippi River and south of the
Ohio River which are almost begging
for occupancy. The best results that
can be hoped for to come from these
hastily written reflections is that some
sheepman, and, some who think OF be-
coming such, will be induced so study
the subject closely and then help
build up the sheep industry of the
COUNTRY to point worthy Of so ex-
allied nation.-The Tomahawk.

The Farmer to be the Future
Sherman,

In our issue of last week we called
attention to summary of the sheep
and wool situation as made by DR..
Galan Wilson. In view of the data
there stated and of the actual seondi-
tions which now prevail this same au-
thority points to the farmer as the
coming sheep and wool raiser. DR..
Wilson says we must look to the farms
alone for our supplies of sheep in the
not far distant future. Farmers cam
not begin too soon to increase their
sheep holdings. The business is re-
munerative and will continue so in
definitely. Almost any farmer could
grow few sheep and scarcely feel
the cost. Sheep will eat many kinds
OF weeds both in pasture and in the
form Of hay that no other stock will
consume. They are cleaners and saw
ers of much on the farm that other
wise would go to waste. 1t is amaz-
ing to reflect upon what a great
amount of unoccupied, waste land
there is in almost every state in the
