 New York July 7.--Now the dairy trust! A company backed by $30.oo0 900 of New York capital subscribed by Levi P. Morton, Thomas F. Ryan, H. F. Whitney. Anthony Brady. and other financial leaders, has secured possession of a new butter-making process, said tc De far superior to any previously in use; it now operates butter plants with a capacity of 100000 pounds day, and is soon to erect factory in the West which will double this production. Bggs and poultry are also to be han dled by the trust. The object of the company Is to receive the e.00O, ,o00. 900 pounds of butter which the country annually produces, purify 1t and re- manufacture 1t into the highest grade of butter. The closest scrutiny by the government and the public is to be fa- cilitated 1t is said, and every product is to. be safeguarded In every possible way. The trust announces that 1t in- tends to eliminate the middle man and to pay the farmer more for hls butter.
 New York's new branch postofice. tuc sue ioI Wuicn mas Just been pur- chased in the Pennsylvania terminal station, will be the largest in the world, with a ground floor space of 114,375 square feet, far surpassing in area the postoffice in London, until now the most extensive. The building may be finished in 1908 and will cost s4.0oo.000 or s5.0o0,o00. Since nearly all the great railroads entering the city will ultimately concentrate their terminals in the immediate nelghbor- hood of the new branch. the work of handling the enormous masses of mall matter brought in by rail will be done there. At the same time the old post office will have plenty to do in attend ing to the downtown and steamship mails, both of which are stsadi1y in- creasing in volume. There has never been more striking evidence of the growth Of the metropolis and the steady march of business northward than this new postoffice affords, and 1t Is plainly to be seen that there muss be great readjustments and shiftings of trade centers within very brief pe- riod.

Our children ara being murdered by the, doctorsi This rumor went out among the East Side Jews the otfer day and started a panic which became so serious that twenty public schools had to be closed. It was said that doctors werc going through the schools preparing to cut the chiidrens throats, and thereupon thousands of Jewish wo- men storyned the school houses in the district east Of the Bowery and be- tween Hester and Grand Streets, cry- ing, shricking and in some cases ss- to be such. So violent did the tumuit become that the schools had to be closed and the police reserves called out to dispersa the crowds. Next day the Italians became infected with the same madness and mobs of frantic wo- men assaulted the public school build ings In Mott, Baxter and Marion Streets. Again the police were called out and again the schools had to be dismissed. The only foundation for these scares was the fact that some children had been found to be suffer- ing from enlarged tonsiis and were op- erated upon for their removal. The Important and rather oniinous lesson drawn from the senseless disturbance is that New York's immense foreign population is so excitable and unrea- soning that it might easily prove source of serious danger at any time of real peril and q problem Is present. ed to the city authorities which they will do well to carefully consider.

J0YS FROM A
MEMORANDUM

March 7th, 1898 was one of
those usual bright days SO CON-
mon to the charms of our own
North Star State. Clouds foated
high on the horizon, the air was
calm with a gentle cold snap per-
ceptible to the senses. The sun
rose fair in the east, gliding the
lofty towers ane church steeples of
Minneapolis, while the glow Of life
was reflected from the woodlands
where stately pines and staun ch
oaks domineered over the slender
poplars and the somber willows.

one.
Suddenly a colored man entered
and sbroke the silence saying:
Dinner is ready in the dining
car" Three times he made this
announcement. The silence was
but little disturbed. The sun was
fast taking leave in red robe,
when the train was on the border
line of our sister state. Fargo was
reached and new crew boarded
the train to take the place of those
who had worked during the day.
Half an hour was given for sup
per and the passengers frightened
up. The train was again under
way. Sleep did not seem very in
viting, passengers were shifting
about and general conver-
sation was Kept up till the early
hour of morning, but ere dawn
most heads were bowed and eyes
closed. The silence only now and
then broken by the shrill sound
from the whistle. At every meal
time the colored man would pass
through the coaches extending a,
cordial invitation to the diningy
car. A CHEEKY halo, was respond"
ed by many whose countenances
expressed that fresheartedness
which indieated sshat they were
drummers, ~ it proved to be
such in this case with the excep-
ton of some very hopeful Klondike
prospectors. The monograph pre-
sented by the slightly undulated
Dakota prairies is rather lengthy
monotony to the observing passen-
iger especially when mother Earth
wears the white robe.
Please pardon me for relating
how I saw these same plains at
different time, to show the con-
trast.
A very striking change took
place as soon as she shifts gar
ments and appear in her green at
tire. The atmosphere is then
laden with fragrant odors of flow
ers and luscious grasses from the
wavelike plains. A little later and
the fields are uniformly covered
with golden hull cereals impressing
on ones mind that an colorado is
met with, where sublimety has
done it's utmost to combine all the
features of grandeur.

GUS mass of rocks, of every conceiv-
able formation as far as outline is
concerned. Some were like stat
ues towering to the skies with
bowed heads as though wondering
why providence should leave them
utterly without a robe or garb of
any kind to shield their Naked
ness. Not even tuft of grass re-
lieves their barrenness. At the
foot of one fire treated and wealth
er beaten forest like mass lies an
apparently rectangular block of
stone which is said to be 200 feet
long and so feet high.

were sought more quickly than the
previous evening and soon sweet
slumber held the scepter.
Leaving the Badlands we soon
met some CHEEKY faces under wide
brimmed white hats, whose poses-
sors held fine horses, all saddled;
and wore buckskin riding snits.
The large herds of half wild ponies
were prancing over the plains,
while the OK and COW were stroll

corral. Suddenly one of the big
steers gave a below and the whole
herd stampeded with curved necks

Dear Ones at Home: 4
Today, the eighth day Of our
voyage, we are ploWing along thfh
an almost level se& Our trip thus
far has only been delightful. We
haXa had no rough weather and
nothing worse than a steady
rolling of the boat-a motion to
! which we have. now become so
used to that we do not mind it,
even at night when lying in our
berth The only inconvenience
]: we have, was caused by the great
!. ocean river, which heated in
it's tropical caldron, the Gulf of
MEXICO flows north east, modifying
with its mild influence the climate
of England and Europe. We en-
tered the gulf stream Sunday even
ing and almost Immediately the
change in the temperature was felt,
It had not been cold before nor is
it now that we are out of the
stream; but it was very much
warmer during. the several days
that we were in it. Here it where
l caught the cold which has been
my only annoyance threatening me
with grippe. The gulf stream
causes much discomfort by head
aches, and the ships surgeon told
me that it usually causes a return
; ofmalaria to those who have had
it, H was while we were in the
i streamsthat my wife was troubled

that we are out of it.
Our most interesting experience
since 1 closed my last letter to
you was passing thru the Azors.
Yesterday friday morning aris-
ing at Z, saw thru our window
that we were passing land. It
was F yal, next came Pico a vol
canic island with a lofty summit
towering above the clouds; the
first mountain 1 had ever seen. It
is 1000 feet high and when we first
saw it, its peak was clear of clouds
which they say is rare sight this
timeof the year. Then the clouds
settled around its sides and we left
it thus obscured. Next on our
north came the island of st. George
much larger and more beautiful
with its high abrupt cliffs back
from which and up the mountain
sides sloped the orange groves and
vineyards for which these isles are
!, famous, most beautiful in the
morning sunlight were the little
white Portuguese villages which
nestled in the terraces of the hill
sides or lay in the well protected
harbors. About half way down
4 the island our steamer slowed
before one of these white villages

The Barn Owl.

This owl should be protected, for
it fulfils in the highest degree the
three possible relations of bird to
man. One of the best methods of
studying the food habits of the barn
owl is by examining the disgorged
pellets, which are composed of the
undigested parts of their food. Those
which / have examined have been
composed almost entirely of the re-
mains of mice, rats and moles. In
parts of California, where this owl is
plentiful, it has 80 persistently fed
upon the gopher as to become a
prominent factor in holding this de-
structive rodent in check. In the
South the cotton rat is quite de-
structive in the cotton growing dis
tricts aud, according to the eminent
authorities, Audubon and Bachman,
the barn owl renders good service in
destroying these rats.
