COURT SAVES PERKINS.
Chief Judge Cullen, Dissenting, Sc
verely Condemns Morgan's Partner.

Albany, N. Y.-Divided and voting
four to three, the Court of Appeals
sustained the judgments of the court
below to the effect that J. P. Nor
gan's partner, George w. Perkins, as
a vice-president of the New York Life
Insurance Company, was not guilty of
larceny in the use of funds of the
company for contributions to the Re-
publican campaign fund in 1904. Z
The decision sustains also the ex-
pressed opinion G District Attorney
Jerome that whatever the moral and
ethical aspects of Perkins action, it
was not criminal under any existing
statute.
Judges Gray, O'Brien, E. I. Bart
lett and Hiscock concur in the judg-
ment of the court, the prevailing opin-
ion being by Gray, with a concurring
opinion by Hiscock. Chief Judge
Cullen and Judges Werner and Chase
dissent, Cullen and Werner writing
opinions, Chase concurring with Gull
len.
The dissenting opinion OF Judge
Cullen is especially severe in its char
acterization of the use of. the COM
pany's money for political contribu-
tons.

Montreal Woman Principal and Six.
teen Pupils Perish In Flames.
Montreal, Canada.-Miss Maxwell,
principal, and sixteen children per-
ished in a fire in the Hochelaga
School of the Protestant School Com
mission. The school is m OF the
smallest under the boards control,
and was in a brick two-story building
in the east end of the city and at
tended by about 200 children, whose
parents are mechanics living in the
neighborhood.
Contrary to custom, the kindergar-
ten department was on the second
floor, and it was here the loss OF life
occurred. The children were started
out, but on reaching the landing
found the lower hall full of smoke.
Into this they refused [ descend,
though the way was safe.
Assisting in the work was Miss
Maxwell. The fire by this time was
making it's way upward, and the
smoke was growing so dense that
even the 1remen could not stand it.
Captain Carson endeavored to get
Miss Maxwell to go down the ladder,
but she refused, and eyading the at
tempt to detain her, rushed back into
the back part Of the building in search
of others. When the 1remen were
able to make their way to the back
part OF the building, she was found
lying on the floor with a child beside
her.

ARMY TO aDlG THE CANAL.
President Places Work Under
Government Engineer Officers.
Contractors Bids. Rejected; Stevens
Resigns and Major Cocktails
Takes Hold.

Washington, d. C.-The Panama
Canal will be built by army engi-
neers; all Of the bidG submitted by
private contra tors have been reject
ed; Senator BlackbuBn. of Kentucky,
will, after leaving the Senate on
March 4, be appointed a member of
the Canal Commission; John F. Ste
Vens, chief engineer of the Panama
Canal, has resigned, and his resigna-
ton has been accepted.
These facts were announced at the
White House, after a most exhaus-
tive inquiry into the merits of the pri-
vate contract system, and after am
pie opportunity had beer afforded to
all the interested contractors to dem
onstrate their ability IL undertake a
task of the magnitude which the en-
terprise on the lsthmus is certain to

Chief Engineer Stevens, who has
carried on the work with brilliant
success during the last eighteen
months, and who heartily concurs
with the President in the belief that
all bids should be rejected for the
best interests of the Government, will
be succeeded as chief engineer by
Major George w. Goethals, an army
engineer of great experience and ex-
ecutive ability. Major Goatha1s viii

to take from Mr.. Stevens the COM
mand of the work. Major Goethals
will be clothed with all the powers
now in the hands of Chairman Shonts
and Chief Engineer Stevens, and
should he at any time in the future
become incapacitated for the work or
leave the enterprise; he will be sue
ceeded by other army engineers, two
of whom are design led by the Presi-
dent to go to the isthmus with him,
and who with him will also become
members of the reorgenized Canal
Commission.
Nearly all of these interesting facts
we're made public at the White House.
aud most Of them were found in the
text of a letter the President wrote to
the chairman of the Isthmian Canal
Commission.

over these temporary frames. The
board on the north side being wide
and the canvas sloping to the south,
catches the southern sun nicely, and
lettuce so protected grows during the
winter season so that it goes to mar
ket two or three weeks earlier than
that standing in the open air.
The canvas is lifted during the
many warm sunny days of winter,
and the plants grow slowly and stead
lily until ready to ship. There is no
artificial heat used in such cases. The
extra expense is in the boards, the
canvas. and the extra labor involved.
The extra price received o than
makes up for the extra expense, and
the business seems to be growing.
The lettuce is shipped in what is
termed half baskets. If the heads
are fair sized it takes about thirty
FIVE to fill a basket. In some cases
which have come to our attention,
eighteen heads have filed the basket,
while in other cases il takes as much
rs fifty heads. This means that an

down in Northern markets, SO that
all above that is profit. The price
received in Northern markees ranges
from sixty cents to SO per basket.
The crop is entirely a winter crop.
Being transplanted in November and
December and marketed in April, it
leaves the land during the entire
summer growing for two or
three other crops.
The lettuce grown in the Norfolk
trucking section is either grown close
to the city, or in close proximity to
the many navigable farms of the sea"
or al to the electric lines which
penetrate the trucking section in all
directions. A single wagon load may
contain fifty baskets, and a little sail
ing vessel may bring at least 200 or
more baskets.
1t is a crop requiring and repayins
intensive culture and care. 1t gen.
orally receives about two applica-
tions of fertilizer, and the land must
be in good heart in order to get best
results.-Progressive Farmer.

Poultry Notes.

The beginner who buys a trio Of
good birds will get eggs enough to
hatch a big flock. This is the cheap
est way to start.
When out of two piano boxes a
floored poultry house six by eleven
feet can be made it seems as if every
one should be able to have good
houses.
Infertile eggs will keep longer than
those that are fertile, hence it is
more profitable not to have male
birds with the flock from which eggs
are to be saved for the market.
For the ordinary farmer who can
not give all his time and study to the
care of chickens a hardy breed that
will lay large quantities of eggs and
are good foragers / the most profit
able.
Some say that a mating of a cock
and pullets will produce a larger
number of females than males, and
with a hen-cockerel mating the result
will be the opposite. The idea is that
the young stock, being more vigorous,
will have greater influence on the
offspring.
A fair estimate for the cost of feed
and care for a fowl on the farm is
about fifty cents per year. Often the
grain a flock of 200 to 800 hens will
consume would hardly be missed on
many a farm. They will vi I'D a profit
of from 81 to $3.50 per head per
year. Where is the other live stock
that can make as good a shoWing?-

Sausage TO BE USeO Next summer.
The Raleigh IN. CO. Progressive
Farmer gives the following recipe for
putting up sausage for next sum-

mended:
Grind the meat fine. To fifteen
pounds of meat add teacupful Of
salt and four level tablespoenfuls of
black pepper-nothing else. Mix well
with the hands. Make into cakes and
fry nearly done. Be sure to place the
fried cakes where they will get cold.
After they are cold (which is very
importantly pack them in a tin can
closely. Now pour the surplus lard
fried out over the packed cakes. If
there is not enough melt more lard
and pour over until the cakes are
covered half an inch with it. When
you begin to use them (about next
July or August) scrape the lard of
enough to get enough from the top
layer, then press it back carefully so
that the air is excluded, and your
sausage will be all right to the last
