London, July 31.-Scarface, the Iro-

patriarch of the Indian village at

silver wedding this week according to
the Indian custom on the thirtieth an

ton, representing several nations, all
in feathers and war paint assembled
in the rallied spstce at the top of the
village, and there solemnly went
through an abbreviated form of the ac

place thirty years ago. Fol half an

After Scarface had finisheti wooing
his bride in song, Mrs. Scarface, who
blushed like real bride, WAS carried
out from the wigwam where. she had
been hiding, and sat on the ground,
back to back with her wooer, while all
the nations declared them man and
wife for ever and ever, with no appeal
to the divorce court Then, amid. war
whoops and eal'-piercing yells in
marched braves bearing poles over
their shoulders from which were slung

Agricultural Scientist Could Have
Made Millions Out Of Invention.
Washington, July 31.-Altho the pa
pers in the case of DR.. George T..
Moore, the former physiologist and
pathologist at the department of agri-
culture, have been referred to the de-
partment of justice, persons who know
the facts are not expecting prosecu-.
ton.
The course of the doctor, it is believ-
ed. has been such that no grand jury
could bring itself to find an indictment
for anything more than childishness.
The principal fact is that Moore had
chance to make millions out of his nj
troculture invention instead of the
thousands he will make by connecting
himself with the company of whose
stock Mrs. Moore held a block, in trust
for himself.
DR.. Moore is not only the inventor of
the nitroculture process, but of the
copper solution process of removing
algae (green scum) from bodies of
water. Had he even an ordinary
amount of commercial sense he could
have arranged his affairs SO that all
the financial benefits accruing from
both discoveries would have come to
himself. Instead, he pursued an all
truistic course. He proclaimed his dis
covery and rejoiced on account of the
publicity.
Any citizen of the United States is at
liberty to make and transport nitro
cultures according to the Moore for

Dublin July 31.-A great deal of in
terest has been aroused recently by the
rumors and reports of the discovery
Of gold mine in Ireland which, its
owners state, is every bit as rich as any
in South Africa. They claim that 1t
will yield about two ounces of gold to
the ton. Great secrecy is being thrown
around the locality in which the alleg
ed Irish gold mine is said to have peen
discovered.
The announcement of it's existence
was first made by Seaton f. MiNigan,
at recent meeting of the Royal So
ciety of Antiquaries at Belfast. He
stated that a friend of his had discov-
cred the mine in the north of Ireland
and that the machinery for working it
was ready. MIR. Milltgan refused to be

on an extraordinary class of clay was

DECREASE in POPULATION.
Plausible Explanation Of Cause in
Iowa.

Des Moines, July 31.-Secretary A.
H. Davidson, of the state executive
council, who has charge of the census
work in Iowa this year, has anaiyzed
the decrease Of population in Iowa and
he sets forth an interesting explanation
of it in a statement just given out. He
declares that the decrease in the rural
districts is due chiefly to the fact that
Iowa's prosperous farmers are buying
up as much as possible of the land ad-
Joining them, both for their own use
and for their children.
Secretary Dawson bases his expla-
nation upon inquiries made in every
enumeration district. Hundreds of
replies have been received and they
indicate that Iowa farmers are buy
ing more and more additional land
every year, thus pushing out OF the
state the tenants and the less pros
porous farmers, who seek cheaPes
homes in other and newer sections.
Speaking of his investigation Mr.
DAWSON says:

ily seems to be actuated by the same

view to adopting forcible measures
should Hungary secede or declare Its
intention to do so in open parliament.
AS 1T was feared that Hungary
might take this step the Hungarian
parliament on the day of it's opening
was adjourned to September 15.
The struggle between the Hungarian
authorities and the municipalities Is
becoming acute and threa,tens serious
mischief, no matter what may be the
ultimate settlement of the difficulties
between Hungary and Austria. Four
teen cities, some of them the most
prominent, have declared that they

IA. Confidence Of President.

Oyster Bay, July 31.-Secretary Wll-
SON of the department of agriculture,
is expected at Sycamore Hill today. All
rllrnors of the intention of Secretary
Wilson to resign from the cabinet may
be put aside as merely conjectural. The
secretary has no present intention OF
leaving the cabinet and the president
knows of no reason why he should re-
sign.
The president, it is said, reposes i'm
plicit confidence in Secretary Wilson
and is thoroughly satisfied that he
will solve the difficulties now presented
to the entire satisfaction OF the eXecu-.
tive and of the country.
tbs probable Secretary Wilson would
have come to Oyster Bay before this
had it not been for the unsettled con-
dition in his department, which render
ed it practically impossible for him to
leave Washington. He Is pressing
every phase of the investtga ton now in
progress and will develop every fact
which the country ought to know. That
the president is confident the secretary
will purge the department of any
scandal that may attach to 1t is
shown by the fact that he has not in
terfered with the pending investiga-
tions. All matters brought to his at
tention have been turned over to Sec
retary Wilson with instructions to in
ouire into them. This the secretary
has done and his work has the approv-
al of the president.
To Clear Department.
It is the determination OF both the
president and Secretary Wilson to
clear the department of agriculture of
every form of CRATER" To this end
the Likelihood that every bureau of the
department will be inquired into care
fully with view to ascertaining
whether any such condition exists as
was developed in the bureau of statis-
tics. Quietly but effectively, Secretary
Wilson has been working to this end
for many months. Many employees Of
the department have been dropped
from the rolls, practically without the
knowledge Of the general public. Some
have been dismissed outright while
others have been permitted to resign.

AS to the suggestion that Great Britain

gladly offer what counsel may seem
best calculated to assure permanent
