Speculation in Farm Products.

Atlanta, Ga.-Between 500 and SOC
members of the National Farmers
Union gathered here today for their
fifth annual meeting. Most of the South
ern States and several Northern and
Western States were represented. The
organization numbers 1000, 900 mem
bers throughout the country, gathered
in various State organizations. The
first session, which was held behind
closed doors, was presided over by
President Charles S. Barrett, of At
water, Ga. The annual address of Pres
ident Barrett discussed at length the
aims OF the organization and its accom-
plishments from its formation five years
ago. The appointment OF large num-
Der of committees occupied most OF the
day.
At the afternoon session resolutions
were adopted to cooperate with the
National Wool Growers Association,

erecting one or more wooden mills, to
which the wool growers will sell their
product, one such mill now being in

Interesting Wives of sordid Men.

Occasionally one comes in contact
with number of ladies' who are
much more interesting than their hus-
bands. They know more outside Of
the sordid and dull business Of money
making. ! know a farmer and his
wife. writes correspondent of Mon
treal Herald. who hardly seem to live
in the same world. The farmer is a
nice fellow, but his interest In things
Is bounded by the fences of his farm,
with hazy-eyed look occasionally at
party politics. His wife, on the con-
trary, is an intellectual force in the
neighborhood. She has made reading
of the better sort popular within her
sphere of influence; and there are
few subjects OF human interest upon
which she has not formed an intelli-
gent opinion. It Is not that her orr
ginal education was any better than
her husbands; but that she has had
more time since to supplement 1t, or
at all events has taken more time.
In many cases it is opportunity which
gives he wife the better education
the higher culture. The husband is
SO busy manipulating stocks or hand
ling his business that he has no time
or mental force for the study of art,
the reading of good literature OF the
cultivation of a musical taste. His
wife, on the other hand, is put by his
efforts in so happy a financial posi-
ton that she enjoys considerable
leisure; and she spends it on mental
culture instead OF taking an empty
course of Afternoon functions" and
keeping up to the latest thing in fash
ion and gossip. Europe is full of
travelling tourist wives who are both
interested and interesting, touching
all that makes up the culture of that
continent, while their husbands will
only run over occasionally for its curl
osities and amusements. For the vast
majority who cannot go to Europe
there is the home culture of the H.
brary.

eral instances of the sort of late. A
woman who took poison woke up and
told the undertaken not to be SO

in New York hospital jumped out Of

had shot her, made her husband think
that she was dead so that he wouldn't

Washington-Mr Eame Howard,
| charge d'affairs at the British embas-
sy. called on Acting Secretary of
State Bacon and presented letter
from Earl Gray, principal secretary OF
state for Great Britain, regarding the
request of Gov Swettenham of ia
maica that Rear Admiral Davis leave
the island with the battleships In
| diana and Missouri, and the torpedo
boat destroyer Yankton. The admiral
| had gone to Jamaica TO render aid to
| the people of Kingston after the city
had been destroyed by an earthquake.
In his message Earl Gray says he Is
causing an official inquiry TO be made
| to determine the authenticity OF the
letter purporting to have been writ
ten by Gov. Swettenham to Rear
Admiral Davis.
IF the press advices prove to be
| correct, he said, Great Britain will
deeply regret that any British Of
| fetal should have written such let
ter to the gallant admiral who had
rendered such valuable assistance to
British subjects at a time of great suf-
fering and distress
Secretary Bacon assured Mr.. How
ard that President Roosevelt and the
officials of the state department are
much gratified to receive these mes
sages from the British government,

fhaf prif n in hac wait
ed to receive official advices concern
ing the unfortunate event.

bark his men.

cooks in the hospitals. The men
from the American warships gave
valuable assistance before their de-
