Names Growing Industries.

1.-The growth of the state OF Maine as
commercial power has been more rapid dur
ing the last few years than most people are
aware of, said d. L. Gentry OF Portland
to Star man at the Raleigh this morning.
Most people have looked upon the state as
one huge forest, peopled almost exclusively
with lumbermen, who do nothing but cut
wood and ship down the streams on RATS.
While numbering is one OF Names greatest
industries, granite makes another of its big
industries. Outsiders have seen the logging
roads in the woods, the scattering granite
quarries In the hills. while along every river
they hear the water rushing through sluice-
ways. Few of them have realized that
Maine has taken her stand along with the
other great producing states. is using her
vast water power in cutting into the vast
forests more ruthlessly than ever and Is
seeing more cotton and pulp mills built. Her
schooners go dancing up and down the
coast guided by men who made the state
famous for its fishing and whose sons are
now developing the great interior"

Dairying in Texas.

Texas farmers are being stirred up to a
point where dairying on a large scale will
soon be another of the thriving industries
Of the lone star state" said F. T. Raw
Inns of Austin to a Star man at the Met
ropolitan this morning. They are just be-
ginning to appreciate the natural conditions
for successful dairying, such as mild ell
mate. an abundance of excellent feeding
material, good water and the whole world
for market. Texas cotton seed meal goes
to Denmark and is fed to the cows In that
country and the butter made there is sold
in the English market In competition with
that made in the United States. Now the
farmers have gotten it into their heads IL
the Danish farmers can afford to buy Texas
cotton seed meal and make butter to sell in
England a profit there is no reason why
they should not go extensively into the bus
mess and use their own cotton seed meal TO
feed their own cows and sell their own but
ter in the United States as well as In Eng
land and other foreign countries"

CHARGES PERSECUTION.
DR.. Elsasser Alleges He is the Victim
of an Intrigue.

Having been systematically and forcibly
expelled from Baden with my American
wife and five children. numberless appeals
for justice during fifteen months resulted
in still more cruel prosecutions, and at last
in deprivation Of our civil rights by Baden
courts unduly influenced by political force,
our call to German reichstag having been
intercepted, we appeal to public conscience
Of civilized world represented by indepen-
dent public opinion
The above communication in the form of
a telegram, dated from the Logan House,
this city, and signed by DR.. Elasser, who
subscribes himself as formerly Rechtsan-
walt Baden-Baden, was received by The
Evening Star last night.
When DIR. Elsasser was seen in his apart
ments in the Logan House today, he eX-
planned that his only desire In sending the
statement to The Star was the hope OF
having the same reach the eyes Of members
Of the German reichstag, with whom he
had tried to communicate by cablegrams,
the same. he declared, having been inter-
cepted.
Dr. Elsasser's wife. who is a native of
this country, and their children are in But
falo. The family left Baden-Baden in Oc-
tober. DR.. Elsasser says that he is the
victim of an intrigue by which blackmail
was attempted on large scale, and that
his appeals to the native courts to protect
him from the wrongs and prosecutions Wis
tied upon him have failed to receive just
recognition.
In February, by the perjury of one of the
intriguerS he declares, his personal account
in a Berlin bank, approximate several
hundred thousand marks, as well as his
real property in Baden Baden, was seized
by the courts.
DR.. Elsasser is a member Of the bar at
Baden-Baden. He declares that life was
made so burdensome for himself and family
that he was compelled to leave his country.
He is apparently about forty years old. and
possesses every evidence Of culture and re-
anement.
1.-The cablegrams that I sent to members
of the reichetag were intercepted" he said.
1T do not know why they should have been
so treated"
DR.. Elsasser Is accompanied by the chief
of his bureau, whose Office corresponds in
this country to that OF private secretary.
"A morning paper says have entered no
complaint with the State Department" DR..
Elsasser continued. II have not, of course.
nor can do SO. am German citizen"

other shot. A third shot was fred as Mr..
Seton. jr., started to move away from the
spot, and fourth as he ran around the
corner Policeman Ready FASTENED to the
scene and arrested the defendant.
At the time of the alleged shooting both
men were employed at the government
printing office. II is stated that neither had
spoken TO the other for a year, because of
a family trouble. The defendant contends
that blank cartridges only were used by
him in firing at his brother, and that the
shooting was done solely for the purpose of
frightening the latter.
Attorney Philip Walker appears for the
defendant. while the government is repre-
sented by Assistant United States Attorney
Taylor.

ON A GRAVE CHARGE.
Frederick G. Seton Accused of At
tempt Upon Brothers Life.

Frederick C. Seton was placed on trial
today before Justice Anderson and jury
in Criminal Court No. 1, on the charge OF
committing an assault on his brother An
thony w. Seton, r., with a dangerous
weapon. Mr.. Seton, jr., resides at 7O5 LIST
street. According to his version OF the af-
fair he was standing In front of his home
the afternoon of December Is last, when
his brother approached and fired shot at
him from a revolver. The complaining wit
ness characterized the defendant as a cow
ard, and the defendant thereupon fired an

Singing Schools for School Teachers.

Singing schools are to be established in
all of the Brooklyn schools, not for the pur-
pose of teaching the pupils. but to teach the
teachers how to sing" said d. G. Rattery OF
New York city to a Star man at the New
Willard this morning. In Manhattan the
grade teachers have to instruct their classes
in music and 1t is probable that the same
system will be introduced in all the bor-
oughS when the new course of study is put
into effect next fall. All those who gradu-
ate from the training school are required to
know enough about music to teach it,

CURIOUS ARTICLES THAT
ARE MADE OUT OF MILK

When the exhibition Of hygienic milk
was recently IN progress at Hamburg,
Germany. there was on display num-
Der Of objects which seemingly had
nothing whatsoever to do with by
gienic milk supply. There were shown,
nicely arranged in glass boxes, combs
seemingly made of horn, cigar holders
with arnber-colored mouthpieces, knives
and forks with handles similar in APP
pearance to ebony, ferrules for um-
brellas and sticks, and balls, rings, chess
figures, dominoes. etc, also a small
table with an inlaid marble slab, and I'm
ally a number Of thick slabs and slaves
with every imaginable variation Of mar
Die colors: but Of considerable less
weight than real marble. These OBJ
jects were made OF "galalith'-i. E.,

The principal albuminOid substance of
skinned milk. the casein. is the raw
material out Of which the new product
gaIalith is manufactured. More than
fifteen years ago the idea was origtna-
ted TO manufacture various articles, like
buttons. handles, ornamental plates and
colored pencils, out OF casein.
An advantage OF the new product as
compared with celluloid is the fact that
# does not ignite so easily and is en-
tirely odorless. Trials have proved that
even when kept for weeks in water IL
does not distend more than the best
