large areas of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations. This
is hardly ever the case, as the large
tracts are very, often owned by hun
dreds of different men, whose individ-
ual plots of ground bearing the tea
plants are carefully mapped out, so
that each individual owner may cult
vate and pick his own crop of tea.
Each owner likewise markets his own
tea and puts his own special mark, or
chop" on the packages. Hence the
term "chop" signifies an individual
growth or picking of tea by one owner.
In an area of tea land of, say, a thou
sands acres, all apparently under one
ownership, there may be some forty,
fifty or more owners of the plantation
and consequently a like number or
chops of tea.
1t must not be imagined that all these
different owners of the tea get the
same price for their commodity-far
from It, as each of these individual tea
growers has his own secrets for i'm
proving the quality and favor Of tea.
Take, for instance, the Annoy and Flu
chau districts, whence most of the tea
for the United States comes. The own
ers of 'chops" of tea varying from 10
to 200 chests of IS pounds each bring
samples of their goods TO the various
foreign merchants for sale. These lat
ter turn the Chinese tea growers over
| to the good offices of the foreign or
| American professional tea faster, who
/ passes on the goods as to price. The
/ tea faster has the samples infused, not
boiled, in his presence and passes upon
the quality, flavor, twang and manner
! OF curing, fixing a price accordingly
/ from which there is never any varia
ton and which the tea grower must &C
| cept or go elsewhere to dispose of hi:
| wares. In single tract of tea LAND
like the one cited above the price ha:
ranged from IA cents, the lowest, L
asa cents, the highest. per DounC
among sixty-one different tea produ
GERS. A matter of great moment tina
also figures in the price Of tea I
that very often tea from the same dis
trict will have the various chops
blended together In order TO produc
special flayors.

DAIRYING in NEW ENGLAND.

Inc importance OF maintaining ana
increasing the fertility of our farms
can scarcely be overestimated. AL
though this has been long and siren
uously urged upon our New England
farmers, there are too many of them
who seem to disregard it, and are
content to go on in the old haphazard
way. AS long as they can swap some
of their products at the country store
for groceries and other supplies and
pay their taxes with the proceeds
from the sale of wool, eggs or few
lambs, and at the end of the year
have "made ends meet" they are
content. True, no Improvement has
been made upon the farm, or prepar-
alton for better crops hereafter. So
they begin the next years operations
little behind the point where they
began the preceding year, for the
farm has deteriorated, and continues
to do so from year to year. This is
the class of farmers who are always
ready to assert that charming don't
pay" and they are doubtless correct,
so far as they speak from their own
experience.
There is, however, large and fort
unately an increasing class of farmers
in New England who have adopted
improved and up-to-date methods of
conducting their business. They aim
to make profit on the products of
every year land at the Same time leave
the farm in better condition than be-
fore. They do not push blindly after
every new scheme, however plausi-
BILE, but adopt an Intelligent course,
and pursue it steadfastly from year to
year. Whatever line is adopted is
pushed ''for all it's worth,' the prod
ucts turned into cash and all purchas-
es paid for in cash. The balance add
i ed to the increased value of the farm,
stock and implements represents the
profits of the year. The improved
condition of the farm results in larger
crops the ensuing year. There is a
steady upward progress from year to
year.
The most successful and in the end
the most profitable line of special
farming pursued in New England is
dairying. This, when properly con-
Quoted, brings steady and reliable re-
turns through the year, and con-
stantly increases the fertility of the
soil at the same time. The dairy COW
is the best and most economical rem
ovator of the farm. Of course the
more intelligent and progressive the
farmer the better will be his methods
and larger his profits. I firmly be-
lieve in this, land have never hesitated
to urge farmers to stock their farms
to the full capacity with dairy COWS,
even if it involved the necessity of
buying all the grain feed at first, and
keeping the roughage down to the
minimum. This will insure the keep
ing of the largest possible amount of
stock on the farm, with correspond
ingly large amount of manure made
and restored to the soil. This course,
as l know from personal experience,
may be pursued with direct profit,
aside from the continuous improve

TEAS THAT ARE

Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China

the First Time Makes an Exhibit

Many expositions of stupendoUs char'

1904. Each part is a vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres of wonderful things-wonderIul
because they are the choicest or theI

represented. Every state and territory
is here with its best and making Tue
most of its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here a prominence
quite exceptional. 1t is a wonderland
of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make dis

embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number of 400.
The teas exhibited vary in price from
a few cents a pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side OF the
scales and pure gold on the other

kind is worth about $50 gold an ounce.

CAPT. II. L. KUHNs DEAD.
Fell a Victim to Apoplexy in Porto
Rico Last Week.

Many in this city will be grieved
to hear of the death from apoplexy in Porto
Rico last week of Capt. Herman Luyties
kuhns. enrolling clerk for the executive
counsel of that island. His remains are on
their way to New York. being accompanied
by the brother-in-law of the deceased.
Charles s. Hartzell the secretary of Porto
Rico. The interment will be at Canton,
Ohio. the old home.
Capt. Kuhns was quartermaster of the
Sth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, known as the
Presidents Own" in the Cuban campaign.
He never recovered from the effects of the
exposure and hardships incurred at that
time. He was born in Lynchburg, Pa,
April 10. 1855. and was the son of the late
DR.. L. M. Kuhns of this city. His mother
resides here with her daughter Mrs. Ham,

THE FILMS DESTROYED.
No Record Left Of Lew Dockstader's
Impersonation at the Capitol.

Lew Dockstader's experience on the Capt.
toll plaza in getting moving pictures. as
heretofore published in The Star, brought
him prominently before the public. but not
in the manner that he had probably antici-
pated. His notoriety gained by the incident
was not Of the kind that even the minstrel
enjoyed. He had impersonated Grover
Cleveland. William Jennings Bryan and
Mayor Seth Low without hearing an objec-
ton, and naturally supposed his work at
the Capitol this week would cause him no
annoyance. After he had read the news
paper accounts Of the affair his surrender
of the films to the New York police was
willingly made, apparently, and he regard
ed the incident as closed.
Detective Hartigan returned with the
films this morning and turned them over
to Captain Boardman. Shortly after 8
o'clock the captain disappeared from head
quarters, and. it is stated, conveyed the
films to the house of Major Sylvester. The
superintendent of police subsequently told
a Star reporter that there was very little
to be given out about the case. The films
were recovered from Mr.. DockStader, he
said and they have been destroyed. He
responded in the negative when asked If
they had been taken to the White House
and shown to the President.
According to information from New York
Captain McCluskey found Dockstader at
the Marlborough Hotel and summoned him
to headquarters by telephone. The photog-
rapher had already started the work Of de-
veloping the pictures, and the impersonator
Of the President showed in the picture in a
way that was calculated to deceive the
Presidents most intimate friends.
1t is said Mr. Dockstader did not take
kindly to the Idea of surrendertng the films
when first approached, but he soon con-
scented to give them up. He Indignantly
denied that he had made an effort to rep
resent himself as Booker T. Washington.
In addition to declaring 1t was his inten-
ton to use the pictures in illustrating
monologue. as published in yesterdays
Star, he is quoted as having said:
They showed a negro falling out of
an airship and landing on the Capitol
steps. He was to be rescued by President
Roosevelt The negro in question was not
meant to look like Booker T. Washington.
That part Is not true
"Another thing that is sadly untrue Is
that the democratic party gave me $4,000
coo to produce these pictures.
I'm the course of my stage career I
have impersonated Bryan, Grover Cleve-
land and Mayor Low. I am surprised that
President Roosevelt is disturbed"

Sale of Subdivision COMPLETED.

Mr.. Howard F. Johnson, the senior mem
Der of the real estate firm of Howard F.
Johnson & Co, has recently completed the
sale of a subdivision of land on the 7th
street road Attention of investors and
home seekers was in the main called to
this property by it's advertisement under
the title of the Red Tent, as tents of this
color were placed on the lots and as a SYM
Dol 1t appeared in connection with all adj
vertisements.
Mr.. Johnson is planning to place another
subdivision on the market. He says he has
the most implicit confidence in the future
greatness of Washington and says that his
great ambition is to eventually organize a
business that will enable people throughout
the entire country to become investors In
Washington real estate.

viii Make Things Interesting.


This suggestion was interesting and not
without force. Yet it is not convincing as
an argument that Mr.. Bryan can take Inc
control of the st. Louis convention away
from the combination that is now being
formed. But, from all indications IN the
west. he will succeed in making it a vastly
interesting gathering, and there are likely
to be wild scenes again.
Assuming that Mr.. Bryan's confidence in
his speechmaking proves misplaced, the
question again will come up whether
he will bolt. According to his own state
ments the candidate is nothing and the
platform is everything. Yet there is good
deal of human nature in him, and if by any
chance two-thirds of the convention should
nominate any one who was identified with
the Palmer and Buckner movement even
on a Bryan platform, Mr.. Bryan would
make things uncomfortable for that candi-
date. During all the campaign of 1896 his
resentment against the Palmer and Buck
ner leaders blaZed out. Even Bourke Cock
ran has not been forgiven by him. Almost
the only occasions when he showed per-
sonal feeling were when he came into con-
tact with the Palmer and Buckner move
ment. CHARLES M. PEPPER.
