Cardinal Gibbons Tells of Their Great
 Work in Cango State.
 Boston, Oct. s.--Cardinal Gibbons has written a letter to the Rev. Edward Everett Hale in which he says:
 Had I been able to be present I would make lt my duty to say a word in vindication of the policy of Belgium in the Congo State. The representa- lives of the different European powers at the Berlin conference were com pelled to express their admiration and praise of the noble ideals of the found CT of the Congo State and of the splen- did results achieved through his hu- mane policy.
 ''The Italian representatives. speak ing of the perseverance of the King of the Belgians in the civilization and development of the Congo State, said: For eight years, with rare consis- tency. he (the king) has spared neither trouble nor personal sacrifice for the l success of a generous and philanthropic | enterprise
 Tn terms no less flattering spoke the l British representative, Sir Edward Ma | let, and likewise Chinese Gordon. Lord
 Curzon. too. says the civilization, the l department, the present prosperity of
 the Congo State, the peace that now | nestles In its once turbulent bosom, are all fruits of the toll and sacrifice of l the Belgians.'
 Keeping In view all this it would be ! greatly to be regretted that a confer ence which bears the very name of peace should discuss a question which 1 is calculated to cause enmiby and strife Moreover. such discussion would of necessity be one-sided and unfair; in
 so much as the representatives of the | Belgian Government would have no op' ! portunity to reply to the charges made | against its administration of She Con | go, nor to present their own ease"

DUNCAN IN MoNTGomERY.
The Prisoner is Shaved whiie Gaxed on
 By the Curious.

ny Ame C0Ft0WS.
 Frank Duncan, murderer, eracksman, under sentence of death in Birming- ham and recently captured while fore ing a safe in Florida, passed through Montgomery yesterday morning and re- mained in the city two hours. He was | in custody of Jefferson County officers. Duncan, accompanied by Chief of Po- lice W. E. Weir and Chief of Detec- tives G. H. Bodeker of Birmingham, and Sheriff Andrew Burgin of Jefferson County, arrived in Montgomery at 6 o'clock yesterday morning from Pen sacoia. The party was joined at Flo maton by Chief Deputy Sheriff strad- ford of Jefferson County. and Patrol man Burke of the Birmingham Police Department. The guardians of Dun can seem to be taking no chances in al- lowing him to escape.
 All the way from Flomaton, Duncan had begged to be allowed to get a hair cut and shave. When the train reached Montgomery, 1t was decided to allow him this privilege. It was in all probability the next to the last shave the cracksman will ever get. He was taken under a heavy guard to the Windsor barber shop. near the Union Railway Station. Duncan was hand cuffed and in addition, his entire guard sat around the chair with drawn re- volvers.
 A curious crowd assembled ito catch a glimpse of the noted criminal, who appeared entirely unconscious of the attention he was receiving. He paid critical attention to the work of the barber, who was decidedly more con- cerned than Duncan. He insisted on having his face powdered and bay rum applied Ito his hair, which had been neatly combed.
 Duncan Is in appearance a typical crook. His features are strong but coarse, and the gleam in his eye is not calculated to instill confidence in a be- lated pedestrian on a lonely byway Duncan was taken back aboard the train, where he ate hearty meal. It was suggested that he be chained to Sheriff Burgin in order to prevent any possible escape, but the Sheriff ob- jected to any such process. Sheriff Burgin weighs little more than 100 pounds. He said Duncan might jump through car window. and use him as tail for his kite. It was finally ar ranged that he be chained to Detective Bodeker. who is built like football full back and looks like Jim Jeffries. Thus guarded Duncan left for Birming- ham at S:30 o'clock.
 Narrating the dramatic incident in Florida, when it was supposed the noted criminal started to explode a bottle of nitro glycerine, Duncan laughed heart fly. He said the bottle was filled with water which had been colored with mo- lasses He admitted that he had hoped to frighten his guards and then make break for liberty
 The plan failed when a Florida ofi- cer leveled pistol at the head of Dun- can.

The scheme did not work.
 Duncan says that his first intention was to make the scare in the court room, but there were so many women in the room that he was afraid that a stampede might occur and some harm come to the females. He says nothing as to his future. .
 Police officers are watching closely for Myrtle Haas, the wife oS Duncan.

meal with their coarse rye bread. Tho

seems fair 10 assume therefore that
while the eastern barley crop has final
" broken down under pressure from
the west and while in bCckwheat east
ern supremacy is more pronounced
than ever before the oat crop contin-
ues comparatively stable. and farmers
are gradually growing larger crops with
a reasonable prospect of continuing TO
do So
This increasing production and CON
centration in eastern states is the more
remarkable in the light of the rise of
the national yield per capita. Fifty
years ago the country had G.32 bushels
and in 1900 1240 bushels per capita
The per capita increase of oats is prac-
tlcally the same as that of wheat and
far larger than that of corn, which Is
further proof of the heavy proportion
which must have been put on the mar
ket, and in the light Of these facts II
would seem that no eastern man who
has found it to his advantage to raise
oats up to the present need have any
fear as to the future of this particular
part of his farming. for this surplus
from the newer states will not now in
crease faster than the growth of the
cities will absorb it.-Country Gentle

In the oat crop of New York and

bers is as follows: In 1850, 4S.1 million
bushels; 1860, 626; 1870, III; 1880,

THE HAND SEPARATOR.
II Gives Cream That Is Worth Money
In Any Market.

It Gives Cream InQt Is W orth 4"oASs
In Amy Market.
To the isolated dairyman the separa-
tor is a boon. l speak from experience.
For two years and half one has been
in use on our farm. The skim milk Is
fed sweet and pure while warm to
calves and pigs, and they grow faster
and better by far than they ever did
on the stuff that came back from the
creamery watered and rehashed full OF
antaconizing germs from every quarter
of the creamery rounds 1t may be pos
sible to get returned creamery skim
milk in good condition, but when com
pared with the sweet milk fresh from
the fount of supply don't let us talk
about 1t the same day because 1t be-
longs to a different kingdom of food
supply.
When the first buzz of the revolving
bowl sounds outside the milkroom door
the hungry calves begin their call for
food and keep 1t up till they get their
supply. With the centrifugal separator
began the golden age of dairy work,
and it promises to spread its blessings
as the years roll by.
It is natural that with the expendi-
ture of 500 for complication OF ma
chinery that will swiftly separate the
cream from the milk the owner is GO
ing to have other things better than he
ever had them before. His stable will
be lighter and cleaner and his COWS
better fed and groomed. Every feature
of the work will bear neater and
purer aspect. His very step and appear
ance Indicate that he is the owner or
hand separator. That means lie Is
making cream that's worth the money
in any market. The consumer wants 1t,
the ice cream maker knows 1t Is good,
and, bless you, the creamery man
wants every pound he can get OF 1t.
For a time the creamery man looked
upon it rather as an interloper and
stranger to the best interests OF a well
regulated plant. but he has found that
cream separated at the farm is at least
as pure and clean and makes as good
butter as when brought to the cream
cry in milk once q day or likely three
times q week.
do not put myself forward as au-
thority upon this subject. Our cream
does not go regularly to creamery,
only as q surplus product after supply
ing city ice cream plant. The cream
as 1t comes from the separator in sum-
mer is cooled at once In our creamer for
several hours with spring water, then
placed in the icebox and chilled with
ice water and held for shipment.
Sometimes we hold cream for days,
maybe it turns acid and must be dis
posed of either by churning or go to the
factory The latter usually gets the
supply and will in the future. For two
and half years this occasional surplus
has been always welcomed at the fac
tory and has always had age on 1t with
such care as we speak of. The fresher
cream is at all times sent to the ice
cream man.-Ohio Farmer.
