THE CASE or PAN GROVE.

The ubiquitous and cheerful Pat
Grove gives indication of longing to
settle down to a quiet and respectable
life.
He was a well.known crook even be-
fore he kidnapped the son of Million.
aire Cudahy and got $4,000 ransom
He has never been captured, although
n price has been upon his head, and
II broad intimatibns contain any truth
the police authorities Of several cities
have long known whore to lay hands
upon him.
His case only adds TO evidence of
the fact that a criminal with $4,000
an his possession bears a charmed life.
Grove announces that he has been
living Chicago for three years, under
the very noses of the most energetic
detectives in the world.
Maybe that accounts for his discov.
cry that, after all, the law.abiding and
respectable life is the only one that
pays. How much he has been "bled +"
by the Chicago police he is too great
stickler for the honor code Of his pro-
fession to say. But his WEAKNESS of It
is strongly suggestive.
The offer Of reward for the appre-
hension Of man who has first been
furnished with $4,000 is a fine farce.
OF course the $4,000 could not APP
peal TO police who are honest. But
neither could the reward. Honest po-
lice officials are supposed to do their
best without special stimulus
People who might be able to reveal
60 the police the hiding place Of a
much-wanted criminal would do so, II
they are honest, without reward. III
they are dishonest, a blackmailing raid
upon the $4,000 would be easier and
more profitable.
The cancer at the heart Of the Pat
Grove case came with the paying of
the $4,000 ransom.
Cudahy is millionaire and could
well afford to give any sum for the
return Of his son. But in paying he
put a high premium upon kidnapping.
He made the crime immensely profit
able, and at the same time gave the
guilty man means Of securing immuni.
ty from arrest.
II the crime of kidnapping is ever to
be made Improbable and unpopular,
statutory pressure must be brought to
bear against the paying Of ransoms.
There are few Spartan fathers and
mothers among us who would willingly
sacrifice a child for the good of socie'
ty, but no sacrifice win be really called
for.
The instant ransoming Is stopped by
law kidnapping will stop for want Of "A
motive.
And then such a spectacle as that Of
Pat Grove with a price on his head and
$4,000 in his possession, being three
years immune from arrest, with all the
blaekmail and bribery that is implied,
will be spared us.

The veteran is still a young man.
Aside from being farmer he is also
builder, and many are the log cabins

SCHOOL OF HAT MAKING.
Established by Panama to Promote
Manufacture of Headgear.

Consul General Lee of Panama reports
national movement for promoting the man.
ufacture of genuine Panama hats. He says:
"A central school of hat making, and for
the cultivation and Improvement Of to-
quilla straw, has been established in the
district OF ABRAHAM. The school is provided
for by government funds, and will be under
the authority of the minister OF public
works. Fourteen scholarships have been
established, two to be filled from each OF
the seven provinces Of the republic. Besides
the holders of these scholarships, pupils
who so desire will be received in the school
as externs to the number of thirty-six.
Applicants for scholarships must be not
less than fifteen years of age of good con-
duct and health. willing and DESTROYS of
learning hat making, have good eyesight,
be of cheerful disposition and, II possible,
have had some previous knowledge of MAX
Ing hats from toquilla straw. Each pupil
will be expected, as payment for his
teaching to contract an obligation tO\teach
the same industry in whatever place may
be designated by the government; In case
OF refusal to do SO, his father or guardian
will have to repay all the expenses caused
by his education.
The school was opened June 10. The gov
notified TO inform the public, and receive
applications for admission The three off,
ciais of the school have been selected, and
proceeded, on May 4, to Ecuador, where
most of the Panama" hats are made, there
to engage the services of workmen. Gen.
eral interest is taken in this undertaking,
and it Is hoped that in the future Panama
hats will be such in reality, and not in name
only, as they are today.

THE TOBACCO MARKET.
Sales Light and Dull Season at It's
Height


The tobacco year with the Lynchburg,
Va, tobacco trade Is closed, and no more
tobacco will be sold there until September
l. The sales for the year were 6.163 100
pounds less than they were during the
fiscal year OF 19O3-19O4. tho total sales for
the year being 15,346, 400 pounds. The crop
during the year was lighter than was ex-
pected, and the acreage was considerably
less than the crop of 19O3-19O4. The crop
just sold has been the lightest sold on the
Lynchburg market since 1890, when the
total sales were 14499. 400, and with this
exception the sales this year were the
Hghtest since 1875.
The crop just sold weighed rather lighter
per acre than usual The quality and tex
ture were very good, though the size of
the weed was rather small and its color
was considerably off, owing to the dry
season for curing. In many instances there
was not enough moisture for the planters
to control the color. The average price of
the crop was about 1928 hundred pounds
higher than for any crop sold in the past
four or five years. s .... 1855. ...s.
The crop now growing Is about the same
acreage as the crop of last year, and the
indications are that it will weigh heavier to
the acre. .-. .z So
At Durham, N. c.. the crop conditions
were little more favorable last week, the
rainfall light, the days warmer, and much
of the early tobacco beginning to yellow
and ripen. Many fields, however, where
the lands are fiat, badly injured by the
heavy rainfall Of last month.
At South Boston, Va. only few loads
are sod daily on the leaf tobacco market
and this of old tobacco, though the new
crop will soon begin to come on the market
The weather has been more favorable late
ly, the rainfall being much less and tobacco
on the hill planted early is ripening up we'll
on the highlands The total sales this
market to August 1 were 14,571, 725 pounds
as against Is, 443 ,049 pounds to August 1,
1904 and while there Is a decrease Of S92,
324 pounds, the grand total amount paid for
the crop to the first of this month was
81 249 131 SO, being $4,000 more than for the
crop of a year ago.
At Danville, Va, the dull season on the
loose leaf tobacco market Is now at its
height and sales very light. The old
crop Is particularly exhausted. and 1t Is
just a little too early for the new one. The
small offerings consist of remnants Of low
and medium grades. The attendance of
buyers is small, but the bidding has been
active and prices well maintained
The growing crop shows damage from
continuous rains. Excessive rains have
tended to make the leaf thin. light and
otherwise defective. Few sales of pack
age lots have been reported. Total sales
for July, 1905 537,3S8 pounds-s42 135 90;
sales July 1904. 1, 119, 428 pounds 4949

Four White Fetlocks.
From Pearson's Weekly

From Pears0n's Weekly.
In France in former times a horse that
possessed four white stockings had the
privilege of being free from toll. There is
a passage in one Of the works Of Frederic
Mistral. the famous poet OF Provence. to
the following effect: by the rule OF the
road there was an old custom which was re-
spected by all. that the carter whose leader
had four white stockings. whether going
uphill or downhill had the right not to
leave the road-that Is, the narrow paved
part when the rest was in bad state-and
thus arose the proverb, who has four
white feet can pass anywhere

W all street apparently can never be re-
minded too often that it is the unexpected
that happens, and peace between Japan
anil Russia as an outcome of the negotia-
tons to begin this week Is one of expected
things which may come to pass, and hap
piiy 1t looks as though that result would
hardly have been discounted in the Sc
curities markets Of the world.
A direct consequence Of peace should be
the release of a flood OF gold accumulated
ABROAD In preparation for all the contingent
cies of war, and, of course the release of
a far greater supply of credits with which
10 stimulate trade, industry, investment
and speculation. A corn crop in the neigh
borhood Of 2,S00.OOO.OOO bushels. which
seems far from an tmprobability this year
is sufficient prospect in itself to make
holders OF securities reluctant to part with
them now.
