DUCK FARM IN VIRGINIA.
Largest Institution of Its Kind in the United States-Fowls xare
 10000 in Number.

A flock of snow-white Pekin ducks, numbering 10000, and requiring solid carload of food every week, Is the show" to which the villagers of River ton, Va, take strangers, who happen in" the Shenandoah valley town, says the Richmond TimesDispatch.
 ThS duck farm is said to be the largest in the United States. h the laying de- partment 1,500 mothers are kept busy in the ten pens set apart for their use-- 150 to the pen. Each of these subdivi- sions contains vat of water, which sup plies both drinking and bathing liquid. The matching is done by incubators. Two thousand fuzzy little ducklings are brought into the world each week.
 The ducklings are first placed in a room where the temperature is 98 de- grees. After eight days they are trans ferred to lower temperature room, and i, later still, are turned into the open air, under a protecting shed. At this stage of their development the growing fowls are moved into the fattening depart ment, and at the end of 12 weeks are fat and plump and ready to be slaughtered for the markets of Washington, Balti- more, Philadelphia and New York.
 Nine men and dozen youthful pick cts are employed to attend this feath- cred army.

NEW HAVEN STIRRED UP.
Thirty Citizens Start Gut to Improve
 the Police Force.

New Haven, May 27.-Thirty prom inent citizens of this city, residents of the eighth ward, met last evening and made preparations for a campaign for the bettering of the police force The meeting was held as the result of the three assaults upon young women in the eighth ward within a few weeks without the arrest of the culprit
 The citizens met at he home of Jo- seph D. Porter on Whitney avenue. MT Porter presided and Professor Yan- dell Henderson, whose servant girl was the first victim of the unknown as- sailant, acted as secretary of the meet ing. Among those present were Judge Lynde Harrison, Colonel N. G. Osborn of the New Haven Register, and several members of the Yale fac ulty. City Attorney Webb and City Clerk Isbell were present as guests. They do not live in the eighth ward.
 No definite action was taken as to the means of improving the police force. but it was voted that commit tee of five, not yet named, consider the best ways for the committee of thirty to attain their ends.
 It is intended to form permanent organization, with the object of inn proving city government in other branches as well as that of policing. It will probably be sort of municipal reform association.

.9MRS WIGGS. '

z Polfs ought to hold large audience this evening, for one of the genuine comedy successes of the present sea- zsOn will be offered in Mrs Wiggs of he Cabbage Patch. It is no second z1and company either that presents the play. being the original one. with Mrs Madge Carr Cook in the title role, hat has made such a pronounced sue eess and played for three months at he Park theater, Boston. Liebler & Co made careful and judicious selec- Zion of players for the different roles with the result that a stronger com, hdy organization could hardly have been gathered together Each individ- lal in the company is an artist in his pwn particular line of work, and Mrs PIadge Carr Cook, who takes the char lcter of Mrs Wiggs, is second to no Pne as character comedienne. Her Reputation was well established before khei ever met Mrs Wiggs, but in this Fole she has completely outdistanced
 eff nearest rival and received a mead p4 praise from Boston critics seldom P4fore accorded in that city. She is q
 tfange mixture of brusqueness, ten l4rness, philosophy and humor, meet S S4g every requirement. of the eharac- 49r which Mrs Cook so skillfuIly ere ! Jed. In fact, watching her work on
 he stage reminds one most forcibly of Ehe triumphs of Denman Thompson hAnd the late James A. Herne in coun- Ey characters. Following her closely
 lp the ladder of success come Mabel
 'aliaferro, Helen Lowell and Will T.
 Hodge. and others who score distinct 1riumphs in the play are Oscar Eagle,
 hurston Hall. A. w Matiin, Argyle
 Campbell, Taylor Granville, Edward S. Phillips, Beth Franklyn, Lillian Lee, Anna Fields and child actors whom it would be hard to duplicate for talent
 n the whole country. They scored a treat laughing hit In Boston with their Geographical names. In no particular .vill the presentation of "Mrs Wiggs" bere differ from that in Boston. The
 lame strong cast will be seen in the different characters and the same seen Rry and effects will be brought for 8he local engagement. Prices are 25, sb0, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

SOLD GHOST STOCKS
Charles Lester Murphy, Coun-
 try Lad, Swindled Lambs.
SOLD WESTERN UNION AND WIRELESS
Advertised Profits In Interest of 50 Per Cent-Shares Existed I'm His Vivid ImnginatiOn-CauE
 Many Suckers.

NEWARK. N. J., May 27.-Charles Lester Murphy, a barefoot country lad, has been committed to the county jail here in default of $1,000 bail on charge of swindling. When arraign- ed before United States Commission CT Whitehead, Murphy admitted that he had purchased a mail order list from firm that furnishes addresses of persons living in rural districts and that he had written to many of those on the list asking if they did not wish to purchase stock that would yield "a profit in interest of 50 per cent" He remembered selling r. J. >Robb of Sa- lem, O., the complainant against him, $75 worth of Lunar Oil stock;" also of selling $50 worth of the same stock to a Captain Cairns of Lima, O. This stock, he admitted, existed only in his imagination, and his part in each transaction ended with the receipt of the money. He also sold Western Un- ion Telegraph stock and "AIarconi Wireless" stock in the same way.
 Murphy is twenty-one years old, but looks to be no more than eighteen. He is tail, light haired and awkward, and his hands are generously decorated with tattooed designs. He lived with his parents in ramshackle cottage in a farming district outside of Berkeley Heights, N. J., and received his mail at Scotch Plains and Fanwood under the name of James B. Murphy.
 Postal Inspector Mohary, after see- ing the young man, could not believe that he had originated the swindling scheme and delayed making the ar rest for some time in the hope that he should find principal for whom Mur- phy was the tool.
 When asked where he got the idea of selling bogus stock Murphy said:
 i've read considerable, and I learn ed about such operations that way. But didn't expect so many answers"

POWER OF DESERT PLANTS.
Mysterious Strength of Growths Put to Good Use by Roaming
 Indian Bands.

A complete solution of the mysterious strength of desert plants will prove of great economic value to the United States, aside from the important infor- nation it will give regarding the fun damental processes of protoplasm, says the National Geographic Magazine. In former times bands of roaming Indians inhabiteds the desert regions of the southwest. They lived in comparative abundance, and all the country was no less arid than it is to-day. Doubtless they obtained food from the plants of the desert just as easily as the Papago In dians obtain drinking water from the barrel cactus. White men can do like wise as soon as they understand these plants, and will find many practical uses for the cactus and yucca. An under standing of the source of strength of desert plants will also enable the farmer who irrigates his semi-arid land to judge how much water to apply and how often in order to gain the best results. 1t will also help him to develop alkili and draught-resistant types and thus to re- claim new areas.

Rising Sum Murder Trial Closing

NAn1n& SuM huruGE SAOhAMBs
 RISING SUN, Ind, May 27.-In the Gillespie murder trial Attorney Shay spoke the last words in behalf of the defendants appealing to the sympa- thy of the jurors. He dwelt in emo tional sentences and with dramatic climaxes on the character for genera tions of the families of Gillespie and Barbour and urged the jury to believe with him that men and women of such stock could not descend to plotting as- sassination. The strongest point of argument on evidence was made in a discussion of the testimony of Dr. Hell of Cincinnati, the former army sur geon and firearm expert, who has de clared his belief from the conditions as he found them that sixteen gauge shotgun was not the weapon that caused Elizabeth Gillespies death.
