Washington. Feb 5.-There was no
distinct change in the condition of Sen
ator Hanna who Is suffering from the

will recover in n reasonable time.
After the consultation Of the physi-
clans Dr. RiXey made the following

"There is no change in Senator Han

DR. RiXey said that Mr.. Hanna by
no means had exhausted his strength.
The senator is unable to take any
solid food and his nourishment has
been confined to milk. He is conse-
quently very much weakened. His
pulse is said to be normal, with tenn

FOR THE FARMERS.


At the last meeting of the Business
Mems Association of this city, a com
mittee was appointed to ascertain
the feasibility of holding a farmers
institute here in the spring. We
heartily endorse the movement, and
believe it will meet with the approba
ton OF the farmers OF the counties
adjacent TO this city. The institute
held here on the 2Sth day OF Janu-
airy was a great success, both from
the standpoint OF the subjects treat
ed and on account OF the large atten-
dance, considering the condition OF
the roads at the time. There is one
feature in connection with the insti-
tute which, however, impressed us
as a necessary drawback to such
meetings, and the proposition to
hold another will in measure cor
rect this. The question OF agrlcul-
ture is such broad one, embracing
such variety and diversity OF sub
iects, that it is impossible TO discuss
more than one or two features of the
subject, or the general subject, in a
very brief way at one Of these meet
ings. We are glad the suggestion
has been made to the Business Mems
Association to hold another insti-
tute. There are mutual advantages
both to the business men Of the city
OF fredericksburg and 30 the farm
ers In these meeting and We make
the suggestion that the Association
arrange to hold at least four farm
ers' Institutes in fredericksburg a
year-one during the spring, one in
the summer one in the fall and au-
other In the winter. The subjects to
be discussed at such meetings are
practically inexhaustible, and in ad-
dition to having one or more scien-
lists here at each meeting from the
T.. S. Agricultural Department and
the State Agricultural Department,
the farmers themselves should pre-
pare papers setting out their ideas
and methods, one or more OF which
could be read at each meeting.
The farmers are now deprived OF
the privilege they have enjoyed for
so long of assembling on the court
green at the monthly meetings OF the
county courts, where they have been
accustomed to discuss crops and
farming, and a series OF institutes
such as we suggest wouldprove vel
come substitute.
The Free Lance will be glad to hear
from the farmers In reference to hold
ing these quarterly farmers institutes
in Fredericksburg under the auspices
of the Business Mems Association,
and will publish all letters received
In this connection. These meetings
are &c cost the farmers nothing, and
the benefits to be derived will be
great.

The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1904-02-06

Some thoughtless fellows threw
mud on the escutcheon attached to
the United States Consulate at Glen
iuegos the other day, and the indig-
nifty was reported to the Cuban au-
torities. The President of Cuba ex-
pressed deep regret and ordered the
guilty parties punished. No one can
throw mud at Uncle Sam without
It's being promptly:and properly re-
sented.
