Fifty cents month or six dollars n
year is the estimated cost OF insur-
ance against fatal accidents In a plan
commented to the miners by President
Nichols In the district convention In
Pittston. The cost is not beyond the
means OF the men. and the Insurance
would be OF very great value TO the
families OF those killed In the mines.
The proposal has everything to recon-
mend 1t, says the Philadelphia Record.

"Let us be unashamed OF soul"
writes Browning, aud the rest OF his
gospel is let us be unafrald OF suf'
ferlng. When man looks upon his
past from vantage point OF ten
years it is never the rebuffs Of fate he
regrets unless he was a coward and
ran from them, comments Harper's
Weekly. II he met W tn them. COPIED
with them, and conquered. II is OF
such stun that strength is made. The
true dignity OF human nature lies In
Its power Of meeting evil and trans.
forming It into good. After all. good
and evil are relative terms, not abso-
Lutte, they exist lnterrelated. as do dark
and light Good means simply that
figure that stands with its foot on the
neck Of n struggling wrong. As the
nature OF the dethroned evil ascends
In the scale OF oneness and OF power
so does the good above 1t. To hold
drunkenness and ordinary self.lndul-
gences under way seem but low
achievement, but to hold under all de-
sire Of self-aggrandlzement. all envy,
malice. hypocrisy and revenge Is liter
ally to love our enemies and do good TO
them that despltefully use US, and this
is making gradually for the type set
for humanity. But II Is not done with.
out suffering. The very conditions Of
growth are change and the process is
pain.

ALL BOSTON MOURNS
Senator Hoar's Death Subject
Of Profound Regret.
DIED IN MASSACHUSETTS, SERVICE
"a Great Statesman Has Gone From
U.s." Prociaims Governor Bates.
''He Won Respect of the Nh
ton az u Sincere Man."

BOSTON, Oct. News Of tie pass.
Ing of Senator George +, Hoar, although
long expected. was received with great
regret by all classes of citizens. In
politics he had no enemies in this state,
and Democrats were not behind the
members of his own party in paying
tribute to his worth.
Soon after daylight the flags on the
statehouse were half masted, and later
similar tokens of mourning were dis
played on the city hall and other build
ings throughout the city.
Upon learning of the death of Sen
ator Hoar. Governor John L. Bates ut
once issued the following proclamation
to the citizens of the commonwealth
of Massachusetts,:
at becomes my solemn duty to an
nounce the death of our senior United
States senator, George Frisbie Hoar
who died at l SO u. m. on this day at
his home in the city of Worcester.
"A great man has gone from us He
lived and died in the service of Massa-
NiihNNtt'' iiNN Ht was tOiiliIIlS-
stoned by this commonwealth to repre-
sent her in the highest council chamber
in the nation, and under those COM
missions he served longer than any
other man who has represented this
state. The character of that service
may be measured by the highest stand
ards, and it will not he found wanting.
1t made him national figure for
generation. BY great abilities and I'M
swerving rectitude he won the respect
of the nation and established himself
in the hearts of his fellow men. They
gladly honored him because they be-
lieved III him. He was a scholar of
deep learning, an orator of impas-
stoned power but, above all, sincere
man, wholly devoted to conscience,
hewing close to the line, scorning the
arts of the demagogue, not anxious to
please, but TO serve them. not seeking
to be popular, but determined TO be
right. Intensely conscious of the loss
our state has suffered, we find even in
the hour of extreme sorrow great
cause for qualification in that the rec.
ord of his noble life will ever remain to
us as precious legacy.
I'm recognition Of his eminent serv-
ices 1t seems fitting that the state de-
partments be closed on the day Of his
funeral, that the flags throughout the
commonwealth be placed at half staff
and that our citizens by such other APP
proprate methods as may suggest
themselves express their respect for his
memory"

SILK REEL IN OPERATION DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURE

| been planted. The new commission
bought every year supply of eggs.
which were distributed in small lots
among the Mormon settlers. In the
course of time number OF women
were selected from among the more
skilled silk growers to go from place to
place and teach the Keeling Of silk to
children. They received no salary. and
their only compensation was free board
from the farmers. The reeled silk was
for time sold in New York, but later
the market was closed. In the mean
time a small silk factory sprang up in
Salt Lake city. which. in time, bought
small proportion Of the silk produced
in Utah. The cocoons were reeled upon
hand reels built according to Japanese
models, and part Of the raw silk was
woven by the people themselves. Silk
dyeing was not attempted. but the silk
was sent to New York for that pur-
pose.
In 1901 the present secretary of agri-
culture, who had been travelling extern
sively throughout the country, and
particularly in the south. investigating
the agricultural conditions and posi-
bilities, came to the conclusion that ev-
cry possible effort should be made to
ameliorate the condition of the ex-
tremely poor people of the southern
states, and particularly of the colored
race. Among the many ideas which
suggested themselves to him was that
OF silk culture. which he very well
knew was household industry in 9TH
er countries and added materially, not
only to the national wealth and pros
perity OF those countries in which It
was carried on, but also to the family
incomes Of the extremely poor. He
therefore. during the following session
of congress. asked for an appropriation
of $4,000 for investigations in silk cul-
ture. which was allowed.
Congress during its session Of 1902
1903 repeated the appropriation OF $10.-
900. adding to 1t the clause making ap-
preparations for chronological investi-
cations. and under this appropriation
the division Of entomology is working
at the time Of the present writing.
All Of the correspondents to whom
silkworm eggs were sent were notified
that the department would buy their
cocoon at European market prices.
and several hundred pounds we're pur-
chased in this way and were reeled
during the summer. The raw silk thus
produced. while excellent in quality.
has not been large in quantity. and OF
course the expense Of production has
been prohibitive from commercial
point of view. II Is the object Of the
department in thus purchasing domes-
tic cocoons to create what might be
termed an artificial market fora time.
in order to interest individuals
throughout the country in learning the
art Of silk raising. tn stimulate efforts
in the production Of the best possible
cocoons (since the prices paid are
graded). and to keep alive the interest
so far rs possible until the time comes
when other and moro natural markets
shall be supplied

Silk Culture Experiments
in the United States w
THEY HAVE BEEN TRIED WITH VARYING DEGREES
OF SUCCESS SINCE COLONIAL TIMES

established after the congressional ap-
preparation became available-oIe at
Philadelphia and the other at New Or
leans. At Philadelphia 51S pounds Of
cocoon3 were reeled, producing SO
pounds OF raw silk. The quality Of the
cococHs handled was thus shown to be
very bad They cost on the average SIS
cents per pound, so that the raw ma
terial used in the production Of .
pound OF raw silk cost Sass. The raw
silk produced was sold for s4.4O per
pound. by which II was shown that the
cost OF the raw material was greater
than the value OF the manufactured
product.
The California work during this year
was reorganized, and there was reeled
at San Francisco A pounds Of silk. An
effort was made during the winter Of
1SS4-S5 by Mr.. Joseph Neumann and
some others to launch the California
Silk Culture Development company"
with a capital of 100000, but the at
tempt was failure.
The last appropriation made by con-
gress was $4,000 for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1891. An estimate for
a continuance of this appropriation was
made by the then secretary Of agricul-
ture, but the appropriation was not
made by congress. and the work Of the
department in silk culture ceased for
the time. June 30, 1S9D.
From that time on very little was
done in the United States in the way of
raising silkworms. The Utah people
formed. during the nineties, a ladies'
silk association. Five persons served
as commissioners. and received pay
from the state. In various parts Of
Utah, settled by the Mormons. an
abundance of white mulberry trees had

1T HE efforts that are being
dNC3M made by the agricultural de-
INN partment to stimulate inter-
ON N est in the lkindustry In this
SN,VS country revives interest in
TX the various previous efforts
in this line.
Since early colonial days there have
been spasmodic efforts made at estab-
fishing silk industry in this country.
AS early as 1860 Mr.. Aspinwall estab-
lished nurseries of the mulberry at
New Haven and Mansfield, Conn, and
on Long Island, and imported eggs Of
the silkworm. These efforts were con-
tinued for more than 100 years without
achieving other results than to keep
the interest in the subject alive. and
were finally arrested by the wGr Of the
revolution. About I'LL silk culture
was attempted in both Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, and was continued un-
til the war put stop to practically all
industries, but 1t was partly revived
after the treaty Of peace with England
had been signed.
A few people retained their interest
in the industry during the early part
Of the nineteenth century. and in the
late twenties resolution was intro
duced into the house Of representatives
directing the compilation of a manual
on the culture of silk. House document
No. 226 Of the Twentieth congress, first
session (1S2S), is q treatise on the rear
ing Of silkworms, by Mr.. De Hazzi. Of
Munich, translated from the German,
apparently by Mr.. James Mease, Of
Washington, d. C. This seems to have
been the first congressional action ia
voring silk culture.
Following the publication Of the
book mentioned there began a deter
