ho0NEY's BOND SIS. 900.
Not Yet Decided What Charge Will b
 Brouiht Atainst Him.

It has not yet been decided upon what charge Thomas Mooney, who in. fiicted fatal bullet wound upon James J. Dunn in Maurice McCarthy's saloon last Thursday, will be tried. In the city court this morning MOOney's bond was raised from $1 900 to S15O00, and Judge Burpee informed Clerk Me Mahon to notify the county sheriff to hold Mooney without bail in case tina coroner's verdict .justitics such d course. The action this morning of Prosecutor Meigs in asking for the increase of the bond was based on what is called common knowledge" of Dunn's death. It was merely to prevent any possfbili- ty of Mooney procuring bail and to hold him for the grand jury.
 Were there any other case as serious as this awaiting disposal by the Febru- ary term of the superior court. criminal side, Assistant States Attorney kel- logg said he would call in the grand jury upon hearing from the coroner on the Mooney case.
 What is delaying the coroner's yer dict is causing some speculation. for the facts are said to have been as clear as they could possibly be. The charge against Mooney now is assault with intent 10 murder.

CONNECTICUT TOBACCO.
History of Shade Grown Tobacco to
 Be Made Public.

(From Our Special Correspondent, Washington, Jan 9.-The recent criticisms in Connecticut of the de partment of agriculture, in connection with the shade grown tobacco expert ments, have stirred up the department officials here. and they will probably in the near future issue statement showing the real history of the com panes that started the shade growing industry in the state. They do not | relish the statement that the depart ment issued false reports, and they claim that the reports are backed up | by the tobacco merchants who bought the tobacco.
 The report of the agricultural de partment for 1904 speaks of the ex. pertinent work done by the depart. ment in 1900. as follows, in part: 'The tobacco grown on this small plot was submitted to leading leaf dealers and brokers in New York for their opin- ion. On their judgment. which was very favorable, the department felt justified in conducting further work in Connecticut upon considerably larger scale. In 1902 larger acreage was planted by the Connecticut farm CTS, and leaf dealers of New Ymk-- l men who had spent their lives in the l tobacco trade and who were every. where recognized as good judges of ! tobacco--invested money in the pro i duction of shade grown tobacco. not upon the reports of the bureau of soils. but upon their own judgment of the satisfactory character of the leaf Tobacco of this type. grown under shade in Connecticut. was exhibited by the department at the Louisiana Purchase exposition at St Louis. and to it was awarded the grand prize as being leaf of the highest standard of cxcellency for cigar wrappcrs." ,,
 The officials of the department cal attention to these facts. which art based upon results and upon the tes timony of manufacturers of cigars who have sent to the department tn, results of trials of the tobacco in theil factories. As one official put it ''POor business managing and fakt companies are responsible for large part of the loss to investors in shade grown tobacco" The department sidC of this question promises to be sensa tional. should the present intention of the officials be carried out.

HIGH IN I: TIN PAIL "a. |. e. E..
Hen MADE NEST
~. -E,....E. =. =. h.,t.tl1-G Z
There She Matched Ten Chickens
But How to Get Them ~
Down? ~ @s>'5 =

Riverhead, L. l., Oct. Plan old
hen owned by Asa D. Fordham chose
tin pail, hung about ten feet from the
floor, as the place in which to bring
up a family. She laid ten eggs and
Matched every one Of them, the family
looming off, last Saturday. This
high-minded hen selected the tin pail
home unknown to her. owner. Being
released from the coop daily she went
to an old building, wherein hung the
pail. It must have been quite
"stunt" to fly up to the pail and get
safely within without breaking the
eggs that had been laid from DAY to
accident, in spite Of the fact that there
was not the least bit of straw for the
nest. The pail was deep one, which
made the feat of balancing her hen
ship on the edge while she got in all
the more diffcult: How she ever got
out is still more wonderful. After the
chickens were Matched the hen was
cup against a proposition-how to
get them down to the ground. Mr..
Fordham happened to 90 into the build
ing last Saturday morning and heard
the peep Of chickens. He looked care
fully around but could find none for
a long time. Finally he traced the
peeping to the pail and there found ten
chickens with none of the comforts of
home. He took them outside and pre-
pared a new home in the sunshine.
