The Curse OF Farming.
The flrst great lesson that we must
learn 10 avoid waste. That has been
the curse of farming. We pay taxes on
land that we do not farm; we only half
cultivate our fields. and so waste both
land and labor; we have large per-
centage Of n crop in a field; we waste
time and capital raising inferior AMI,
mails; we waste money In buying what
we should raise ourselves; we waste en-
ergy in trying to DO more than any one
man can do right; we waste opportuni-
ties TO improve our condition by staying
away from Institutes and by neglect
ing to read papers; we waste--in thou
sand and one ways we waste, and then
we are ready to say that farming
doesn't pay."-Troy IN. " Times.

Lynch, Former Reporter, Says 500 Gang
Members Fought Him.

John j. Lynch, former newspaper re-
porter, who has been on the police force
for six weeks, arraigned nine prisoners
yesterday in the Essex Market police court.
charged with interfering with him in the
discharge Of his duty. One Of the prisoners
was Solomon Jacobs, letter carrier.
Lynch made some Of the more hardened
policemen perspire when he told Of bis
desperate struggle with what he termed he
jackson and Whyo gangs.
Il ordered Jacobs to move on. he said (,
sand he wouldn't move. Then I placed
him under arrest. At that minute the
Whyos and the Jacksons bore down on
me and tried to rescue Jacobs. They
took nv club away from me and knocked
me down There were fully 500 Of them
This was at Jackson and Madison streets
Then raped my club on the sidewalk
for assistance
Il thought they tool your club away
said Magistrate Breen.
"Let me tell YOU" said Lynch.
Il showed my gun into the ruffians mouth
and compelled him to give it back. As
sistance arrived promptly, and We caught
eight Of the gang. I held on to jacobs
and landed him"
Under cross examination Lynch and the
other policemen could not identity any
Of the prisoners as having interfered with
Lynch, and they were all disebarged, in
Guiding Jacobs.
Il am resolved" said Lynch, going out
Of court. -that, as the Magistrate let my
men go, when am attacked again / will
shoot to protect myself
There were no marks on either Lynch OF
any of the prisoners as result OF the des-
perate fight he told about.

Macy MCGEE Waters, whose sermon Of
the Sunday before last in the Tompkins
Avenue Congregational Church was strik-
ingly similar to one preached by the Rev.
Dr.. Newell Dwight Hills last April, had
once before done the same thing while
preaching in Evanston, ILL.,, eight years ago
The story alleged that DR.. Waters, on
Oct. 20. 1895, preached a sermon on "The
Pattern in the Mount in the Emmanuel
Methodist Church in that city, and that
persons connected with the Northwestern
University there, u few weeks later. pointed
out that the first part OF DR.. Waters's sermon
was remarkably like one published by
LYMAN Abbott in the Christian Union
afterward The Outlook, on May "a, 1895,
while it's second part was remarkably like
n sermon by Phillips Brooks, published under
the title "The Pattern In the Mountain
Last night DR.. Waters admitted that some
such outcry had been raised about one OF
his sermons eight years ago, but refused to
discuss or even to read the printed account
OF the affair.
