TENNESSEE CROP CONOI-
TIONS SHOW IMPROVEMENT
NO FRUIT CROP
AND WHEAT YIELD ABOUT
FIFTY PER CENT.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 24.-Re
ports from more than so per cent. OF
the county correspondents of the State
Department of Agriculture on existing
crop conditions throughout Tennessee
show that the condition of the corn
crop is better than at first thought,
although all the farmers have not yet
finished replanting.
The wheat yield will be about so
per cent. of last year from present
indications. Harvesting is progress
ing all over the State, and threshing
will soon be under way. The condi-
ton of live stock appears to be better
than ever before and gardens are do
ing well everywhere. There will be
no fruit crop in Tennessee
this year, the yield of apples and
peaches being estimated at not over
per cent. ALI the grasses are in fair
condition.

SOME GREAT MEN WHO
BEGAN LIFE As PfDDlERS
Is. Williams in New Orleans Picay

Is. Williams in New Orleans Picay-
une.)
The history of the world is the his
tory of the men who have succeeded in
spite of adverse circumstances. Very
few people, for instance, know that
Marshall Field, the great Chicago dry
goods king, once faced failure, that
Andrew Carnegie was once on the
verge of bankruptcy, that the great
English firm of Barring Bros, once ac-
tually did go into liquidation for the
APPARENTLY trifiing sum OF 100000, and
that Russell Sage, after he had begun
his great career, was once declared
broke. In this connection, it is inter-
esting to note that Mr.. Sage began
life as a peddler. Indeed, the begin
ming of life as a peddler seems to
have been a good stunt in the olden
days, if the lives of great quartet of
financiers are to be taken as a cri-
terion. Four multi-mfllionaires, now
dead, began their careers in the hum
Bile position of peddlers-John Jacob i
Aston, Coils p. Huntington. Jay
Gould and Russell Sage. Russell Sage |
started his business career at twelve !
years of age, when he left his fathers ,
farm at Durhamviile, N. Y; and it did !
not take him long to grasp the princi-
pies of buying and selling groceries,
farm products, and notions, which at
that time were all sold in the same
store. This was the basis or founda-
ton of Russell Sage's fortune. Jay
Gould started his financial career as
peddler of mousetraps in New York
City in 1858. The little machine was
enclosed in a mahogany box and he
tramped all over the city untl he sold {
1t and several of it's kind and the
profits from such sale was the nucleus
of the colossal Gould fortune of more Z
than $7O,00O,O00, which during the last
few years has been employed in so
many different and remarkable ways;
in the philanthropic pursuits of Helen
de Castellane in the railroad scheme
of George Gould, and the social am
billions of three lovely New York
women. Coils p, Huntington started
on his road to wealth as a peddler of t
clocks and watches. He was born in s
the country, of a poor Connecticut S
family of nine children; and at fifteen C
years of age he had to shift for him Il
self. John Jacob Astor was the only d
one from a foreign shore, being the ii
son of a German butcher At seven IL
zen years of age he left his home at Il
Waldorf, Germany, with his wardrobe
,lung over his shoulder on a stick, and
md the munificent sum of two dollars
n his pockets. He worked in Lon ~
Ion for two years and from the money h,
ave invested in seven German flutes tn

BEHEADED BODY
FOUND IN SWAMP
MYSTERY or KIDNAPPED BOY At
NEW ORLEANS SOLVED.

| NEW ORLEANS. June 23.-Two
miles into the interior Of a big swamp
near this city. the headless body Of
Walter Lamana, an italian child be-
tween and years old, who was kid
mapped and held for $4,000 ransom
two weeks ago, was found by police
and vigilates just before daybreak to-
day. He had been strangled to death,
according TO the confession of one of
several Italians held by the police.
The boys neck is supposed to have
been broken when he was being stran-
gled, causing the head to become sep
arated from the body when decompOsi-
ton set in. The head was found a
short distance from the body.
Five Italians, two of them women,
are under arrest charged with being
accomplices to the murder and extra
details of police and deputies are
maintaining order in excited Italian
quarters of the city. All day long
small crowds have been dispersed
promptly by the police, despite whose
precautions a report has gotten out |
summOning a mass-meeting at Elk
Place. Seventy armed deputies have
been placed on guard at the Orleans !
parish prison, the strongest in the
State, where three of the prisoners are
held, and some apprehension has been
felt over the safety of two other pris-
oners, who were last night taken to an
parish. Seldom since the
Malta lynching, sixteen years ago, has
New Orleans been so stirred with
threats of violence as today, when
some of the threats were made by
those who participated in the disor-
lers at that time. The law and order
element is much stronger than it has
been here before. A large number of
eading citizens of all Nationalities
nave pledged themselves to prevent

Alexander Hoagland-Boy Lover.

Last week, in his little room in a
cheap hotel in Omaha, COL, Alex
ander Hoagland, "The News Boys
Friend" and author of the Curfew
law. was found dead, aged 70.
That was nearly all the newspap.
ers said about the passing of a great
soul.
For forty years this dear old man
went from city to city with single
passion-to make good men out Of
the boys of the streets.
In this gracious ministry of turn.
ing young hoodlums into good citi
zens, giving street waits an outlook
upon better life, Alexander Hoag-
land spent a fortune. When the
fortunewas gone he kept on Just the
same. A few friends sometimes
sent him money. Some Of the big
newspapers helped.
1t did not take much to keep the
old mans soul and body together.
His wants were touchingly few.
1t was the glory of Mr. Hoagland's S
work to be in crowd Of newssellers
and boot-blacks-the cheeriest and
wittiest of the gang-and so turn
the talk as to make the boys think
something of themselves and of their
future.

Temperance Sentiment Growing.

At tho recent session of the Ma
tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers
association it was predicted that
anti-saloon sentiments would be in
jected in the platforms of both great
political parties next year. The liq
uor men are alarmed at the growth
OF temperance sentiment. Andthey
have reason for being alarmed.
Temperance sentiment is growing
very rapidly. Probably temperance
has had its greatest encouragement
from the employers of labor who
have put the ban on users of intoxi-
cants. Another thing that is 1e-
sponsible for the anti-liquor senti-
ment is the adulteration of intoxica-
ting drinks. Adulterated whiskey
and beer have been responsible for
a large increase in the numbers Of
those who become victims of the dis.
ease of drunkenness. The growth
of temperance sentiment is the nat.
of observation of the effects of using
concoctions which set the brain on
fire and otherwise utterly incapaci-
tate those who indulge in the use
OF intoxicating drinks. The growth
of temperance sentiment is the re-
suit accompaniment of advancing
civilization. Campaign funds may
operate to keep politicians and po-
litical parties from aligning them
selves with temperance sentiment,
but such funds will not prevent the
growth Of that sentiment among the
masses of the people.-Cedar Rap
id Gazette.
