SAGE OF NEW LEBANON" DEAD.
Milo Mead Gave Away Nearly $1,000.
900 10 Pcrpctuate His Hobby.

Milo Mead, known as the Sage of
New Lebanon" Greenwich (Conn)
philanthropist. who has spent nearly
s1,000,000 on public improvements
during the last few years. died M his
home, at Bryan Shore, recently, after
n short illness. He was eighty-two
years old.
Mr.. Mead was born in East Port
Chester in 1924. in the house which
he occupied during his entire life.
He was descended from one of the
original settlers Of Greenwich, and
was eat-grandnephew of General
EbeneZer Mead, a noted Revolution.
airy commander. He inherited about
$50 acres Of land in what is now the
centre OF the thriving village of East
Port Chester.
Mr.. Mead'S one hobby was to have
East Port Chester known as New
Lebanon" and to-day the inhabitants
are about evenly divided as to whether
chat or East Port Chesteris the proper
name for the place. In the vicinity
all sign posts are duplicated. Wher-
ever one points 10 East Port Chester
another beneath it points to New
Lebanon. These sign posts were
erected by Mr. Mead.
The sum which he gave to the COM
munity and to various societies and
enterprises for the words New Leb-
anon" is thought to have been nearly
Sl,000,000. He gave n large tract of
land for public school to the town
of Greenwich, with the proviso that
it should be known as the New Leb-
anon School. He gave another large
tract to the Danish Society with the
same proviso. He has brought many
new enterprises into the town, often
giving the land or selling it at a re-
duced rate If the firm would use New
Lebanon in its business. He was
noted for his wit and his pointed ar.
ticles on public matters in the public
press.
Much )f his landed estate will
probably go &c the town for n New
Lebanon park.-New York Times.

SILK CULTURE.
Its Slow Progress in the United
States in Spite Of eounties.

States IN 0pIle OF GOGHN'cS'
AS early as 1882 French Huguenots
introduced silk into Georgia, where
lands were granted TO settlers who
would agree TO plant 100 mulberry
trees to every ten acres OF land which
they cleared. Seven years later Par
lament passed an act eXempting from
taxation silk grown in Georgia or
Carolina, and an Italian expert was
sent out TO establish filature. With
in a year the receipts of cocoons at
this factory exceeded 10000 pounds,
while the quality of raw silk produced
brought three shillings a pound in the
London market. Toward the latter
part of the century the culture of silk
was introduced into New England.
Mansfield, Conn, became the centre d
an important silk growing community
and proved the site Of the first silk
factory in this country.
The Revolution, however, dealt a
blow to silk culture, from which ii did
not recover until 1925. BY that time
congressional investigation had given
an impetus TO it, putting the industry
once more on its feet Soon the cul-
ture OF silkworms became a mania.
Speculation followed, and brought di-
saster TO thousands who had invested
their fortunes in what promised 10 be-
come one of the great money making
enterprises Of the times. The embers
of the industry which remained were
snuffed out by the hard times of 1897
and the drought of 1914. Congress
came 10 the rescue again in 1884 with
an appropriation for Investigations,
which were continued from year to
year until 1890. The appropriation
was renewed in 1902 and has been
granted each year since. In the mean
time, aided by State bounties, silk had
been grown with profit in Utah and
to-day sericulturists of the State do a
paying business in the expectation Of
silkworn eggs to the south Of Europe
In spite Of our slow development OF
the raw material the United States five
years ago passed France and became
the leading silk manufacturing nation
of the world. 1t is estimated that 500
SILK mills are HOW III operation, ulSlII-
buting annually to 10000 persons s2l,-
000,0O0 in wages and producing silk
goods valued at $4,000, 600. China
leads the world in the production of
raw silk, and Of the worlds annual
output of about 81 ,00O,000 pounds pro-
duces more than half. Japan comes
next with production of less than
fourth Cf the total. India, Siam, Per-
sia, Turkey, Greece, Italy. France,
Spain, Portugal and the Balkan States
follow as producers in this order.
That American grown silk can COM
pete in quality with the products of
other silk growing countries is evil
