The Tobacco Acreage.

In general, it may be stated that
there will be an increase in acreage
for all types of cigar tobacco, for bur
ley and for the regie or dark tobacco
grown in Kentucky, Tennessee and a
small section of Indiana In the Vir-
ginia sun cured and the Virginia dark
districts the acreage remains about the
same as last year. In the Virginia
bright district and the old bright belt
Of North Carolina the acreage will be
decreased to some extent. In the new
bright belt of North Carolina and
South Carolina the acreage will be in
creased, the increase in South Carolina
promising to be quite large.-Crop Re

Only within the last ten days have
the American people received the data
upon which the identification of the
body found in Paris as that of Paul
Jones was based. and already that evil
dence has been attacked by experts in
way that at least leaves remnant of
a doubt as to the remains being those
of the naval hero.
The two French savants are con.
WINGED, but Joel Benton, of this
country, one of the ablest of our his.
torians and one who probably knows
more about the career of Paul Jones
than any other living man, thinks
their evidence inconclusive and goes
so far as to say that it rather proves
that it is not the body of Jones than
that it is.
This is rather disconcerting at time
when fleet has been bringing a body
here which was inferred in the new
naval chapel at Annapolis with spec
tacular honors. 1t rather throws a wet
blanket on the whole proceeding,
though we all most earnestly hope
that the savants are correct and not
Mr.. Benton. The snthropologist and
physician who made the tests are emi-
nent in Paris and did their work con-
scientiously and feel that they are JUS
titled. Their principle contentious
are as follows: The height and color
of hair correspond with those of Jones,
the measurements of the head as COM
pared with bust by Houdon are cor
rect to an unusual degree, the general
Rppearsnae of the face is that of Jones,
s-*1n11rTe the body, still in good state of
preservation, shows traces of the ill
ness with which the hero died.
Mr.. Benton considers this inconclu-
sive because body il alcohol for a
century is bound to undergo changes;
because the bust was made some
years before Jones' death and before
he had his greatest trials, which aged
him and brought about his death; be-
cause sculptors do not as a rule, use
calipers 20 make exact measurments,
but rather aim to get expression, and
many busts of living and dead men
have failed to correspond very accur-
ately. The savant who examined a
hundred heads and found in none the
facial measurements Of Jones, thinks il
is remarkable. Mr.. Benton thinks il
strange that a Frenchman should be
compared with Seotchman, and that
the measurments now would not cor
respond with those taken years before
death. Also Jones was severely
wounded, of which the present body
shows no trace. The fact that there il
no mark on the coffin or on the cloth
ing is to him a suspicious circumstanc,
seeing that Jones was given a publ,
funeral by the Assembly.
We do not pretend to know who i
right IN this matter, but we submit {
brief outline of the evidence on boil
sides as being of especial interest a
this time. We are willing to accep
the remains as genuine until other
more authentic are presented. If thi
body is not that of Jones, where is it

Abont o'clock Tuesday morning the
large stable and barn belonging 10
Harry Shreve, just outside of Easton,
Md. was burned together with lot of
hay, farming implements, one horse
and carriage, harness and numerous
other things. There were a pair of
valuable mules belonging to William
H. Kemp of Esston, in the stable,
which were also burned. Mr.. Shreve
says he cannot account for the fire.
He places his loss at between $1,000 and
$500. He carried only $3.50 insurance
on the building. A colored man by
the name of Harrison Rakes in the EN-.
ploy of Mr.. Shreve had a sleeping
room in the barn but that night Rakes
was away from home and at first it was
thought he had been burned up. WheI
the fire broke out the bells were rune
and the fremen turned out, but there
was no water plug near the barn.

CORN SlLAGE.
En Milk Making and Steer Feeding.
Midsummer Benefits.

Midsummer Benefits.
Making corn into silage is a means
of preserving the grain, as well as the
stalk, in the best possible condition for
feeding and without the expense of
shelling and grinding, says WILDER ].
Fraser, chief in dairy husbandry at
the Illinois experiment station. In
feeding whole corn, either in the ear
or shelled, many of the kernels are not
digested. With silage, the grain be-
ing eaten with the roughage, nearly all
the kernels are broken during masti-
cation and, since they are somewhat
soft, are practically all digested.
By the use of the silo the corn is re-
moved from the field at a time when
no injury is done the land by cutting
it up while soft. AS the corn is cut
before the blades are SSy enough to
shatter. there is no waste from wealth
ering. and both stalk and grain being
in good condition the whole crop is
consumed by the stock, while with dry
shock corn large percentage of the
leaves and butts of the stalk is wasted.
Being a Succulent feed, corn silage
tends to heavy milk production and
should be given an important place in
the ration of dairy cows. 1t has
proved an important factor in steer
feeding as well as in milk production,
but steer cannot be finished on silage
alone. any more than a COW can pro-
duce her best yield of milk on such a
ration.
In Midsummer.
A pasture will carry much more
stock during spring, early summer and
fall than it will through the hot, dry
weather of midsummer. By helping
the pasture out at this season with
partial sOiling the cattle not only have
better feed during this critical period,
but more stock can be carried on a
given area than by pasturing alone.
Mr. Fraser also remarks in bulletin
101. from which these points on the
silO are taken, that as land increases in
value and farming becomes more in
tensive there is greater need for soil
ing, and the most satisfactory method
of providing a substitute is by means
of the silO. 1t requires too much labor
to cut green crops every day and haul
them to the cows, and, besides, there
is. necessarily a great loss in being
obliged to feed the crops before they
are fully mature and after they are
Overripe.
Mr.. Fraser concludes that no crop
furnishes more feed to the acre than
corn, and with the silo it can be uti-
lized for soiling, thus permitting the
whole crop to be harvested when at
the right stage of maturity and fed
when needed, saving both feed and
labor

An Exciting Ball Game.

The first of series of five games of
base ball between Paris and Lexing-
ton was played Sunday afternoon at
Hamilton Park.
The game was close and exciting
from start to finish, the Lexington
team winning out in the last half OF
the ninth inning by a score of Z to 6.
Paris had the strongest team in the
field that ever represented the city
and with an even break of luck ex-
pect to win the series from Lexington.
About three hundred Paris rooters
were highly elated until the little Lex
ingtOn pitcher batted out two bagger
in the ninth when there was two men
on bases, giving Lexington the game.
A still larger delegation from this city
will witness the game next Sunday.

there was not Fall style creation in
Millinery worn at the State Fair that

Der 3O,) are vieing with each other
and exerting their utmost talents to
produce the handsomest line of

Paris. Those creations already COM
pleted are perfect gems of beauty and
excite universal admiration.

ADJUSTMENTS.
REAL COMIC OPERA.

NEAL OOhlC OGEtSAs
The Herald Square Opera Co. will
present their own version of "Said
Pasha'' at the Grand tonight.
Said Pasha" was written by a
young California composer, Richard
Stahl, to exploit the remarkable
range of a well-known high soprano
who became famous in the west
through her rendition of the music of
Serena, the Pasha's daughter. Leona
Watson, a recent Cincinnati "dis-
covery,' will be heard in this role.
Although but two years before the
public, she has already made Broad
way appearance in the all-star revival
of Floradora" in New York this past
spring.
"Said Pasha" is a laugh producer
from start to finish and it will be well
worth your time and money to attend
the performance tonight.

has long realized the condition OF
the lowering of professional ethics by
a large and influential class of law
knowledge of law enable them to steer
their clients safely along the neutral
zone that too often separates moral
laws and the statutes, class whose
talents are prostituted to price and
whose question is not of the innocence
of turpitude of the client, but of his
ability to pay. And the private lives Of
the lawyers whose practice fences the
quasi criminal against justice with a
cuirass of technical law may be and
often are unimpeaehable.
1t is this unfortunate double stand
ard that has grown up in the profess
sion under the temptation of fees that
the greatest lawyers of an elder day
would have welcomed as the reward of
an active lifetime, of which President
Roosevelt complains and which Presi-
dent Tucker deplores, a standard that
permits and encourages members OF
the profession to do for their clients
what they would not do for themselves
But when such men as President
Roosevelt point publicly to its moral
deficiency and danger and other men
like Tucker acknowledge and call for
reform there is hope for the square
deal" in the law. Honest lawyers are
not scarce, but dishonest ones are too
plenty. 1t is time. however, for TIE
honest lawyer to raise his voice in pro-
test against prostitution of a noble
profession by it's braves whose legal
stilletos are notoriously for hire
