PORK RAISERS HIT
BY HOT WEATHER
Very Little Hog Killing Has Been
Possible-Plum Trees Reported
Killed in Georgia.

The past warA weather Is reported
TO nave brought almost inestimable
damage to the pork raisers OF south
ern Georgia. and 1t is said that there
Is every indication that the plum crop

count Of lac high temperature which
has caused the trees to bloom,
According to the statement OF
Commissioner T, G. Hudson, of the
state agricultural depaY.TSent. there
have been hardly three or four days
for hog killing in south Georgia up to
the present time. The two or three
days of cold weather about Christ
mas caused a number of the stock
raisers to kill the hogs that had al
ready been fattened for thirty days
longer than before.
Warm weather followed almost I'm
mediately and Thea meat was hauled
away by wagon loads. The damage
to the live stock will amount to at
least $4,000 while the maintenance
of families viii suffer as far as the
homo industry Is concerned. The
corn fed to the hogs has also been
lost
Plum trees are reported to be in
full bloom throughout the lower pc

DIRTY PAPER MONEY.

A correspondent in the New York Sun asks: Why Is it that filthy cur rency. carrying microbes of disease, is allowed t0 remain in circulationl Why should not every national bank be compelled to give new bills In ex- change for old or tattered currencyi Paper surely is cheap enough. Pay ing tellers In banks takes delight in handing ont to those other than de- poSitors the dirtlest bills they can find. The stamp clerks and money order clerks do the same thing.

There are some things that we can learn from England in this respect. The Bank of England al- ways issues new notes and never issues the same note again after il once gets hack fo inc bank. That is to say. in giving you a new bank note over the counter, fl you conclude tO change it for gold or silver one min ute sfferEari the note in question is cancelled and destroyed.

VANISHING HATS.
Surprises for Two Men Taking Com
 fort in a Trolley Car.

He was an alderly man of portly appearance and he sat in a trolley car bareheaded with his straw hat pressed tightly against his waistcoat while the air from the rush of the speeding car blew his scant locks about his head in a merry dance.
 The day being hot. the general comfort of his hatless head and calm, almost somnolent expression, proba- bly suggested to his next neighbor ! similar cooling and soothing process. for he rem6-ed his own straw hat, placing it on the seat between them, and, unfolding his newspaper, was soon lost in it's contents.
 After,s long interval when the car was approaching the corner where the second nlan intended 10 alight. he slowly folded his paper and reached mechanically for his hat. But. alas, it was not, His amaze ment was greater than his consterna- ton, however. for that a hat ot its size could have vanished ino thin air was evidently to his mind trick that outshone any he had ever wit messed on the vaudeville stage
 He searched the floor. the straps, the advertisements and even looked under his own coat tails, to say noth- ing of taking cursory glance out of the window Of the rapidly moving car. and then, Well. that's the Iim-." he was about to exclaim tn his elderly neighbor, but paused and stared at him. for-vhat had long been perceived by the other psssen- gers-he saw that the portly man was still staring placidly Into space still looking cool and comf1rtahle but with the hat of the seareher re posing on his head. while his own was still clasped against his expan. sive waisfcoat.

Speaking of the return of Conduct or Maroney whose train killed several workmen some time ago, the Hart ford Times gives the New Britain people who were responsible for the removal of the third rail service the following stab: The surrender in court of the conductor of the suburb an train, which went wrong" and killed nearly a dozen men on the New Britain line a few weeks ago, may serve as a reminder of the fact that if the electric third rail system had not been abandoned on this line, in obedience to senseless popular clamor, that sad accident could never have occurred. More than five times as many persons have been killed on this one suburban connection since the steam service was substituted for the electric service, as were ever killed on that line during the same length of time, or there would have been killed if the change had not been made.

HE PLANTED HIS FLAG. Mexican Sailor Receives Medal for Struggle Against Waves and Sharks

Julian Santos, a sailor on the gun boat Democrata, has just been gianted through the department of war, Il medal for bravery in planting the green, white and red over Clipperton Island in the Pacific, under circum- stances of most peculiar nature. He fought his way through an army of sharks in rough water, with no other weapon than flag in metal casing.
 As is customary, at regular inter vals the government sends a boat to On this trip the boat pulled as close in On this trip tn boat pulled as close In to the usual landing place as was pos sible and a small boat was sent out to make the landing. The great breakers kept the boat from landing. It returned. and another crew was sent out. In which was Santos.
 Having received his orders to plant the flag on the island and being un- able 10 effect the landing in the boat, he watched his opportunity to get the best advantage of surf conditions, dropped over the edge of the boat with the encased flag and started for land. He was immediately attacked by man eating sharks. The terrible breakers in themselves seemed almost un- weatherable. but added to 1t was the fight in the water. He used the en- cased flag as a weapon and finally reached land where, after having rested sufficiently to recover part of his strength he planted the flag and waited for the boat to be able to make a lanaIng to take him back to the gum boat-Mexlcan Herald.

But this vast increase in wholesale prices is not the worst of the matter to consumers for retail prices have been put up to much higher level, so that those with liber- al incomes are beginning to feel the necessity much more with limited in comes for economy. Rents, groceries, dry goods. meat, vegetables and fruit, not to mention the luxuries are high CT than ever before, except when gold was at a premium and prices were in- flated to meet the depreciation of paper money during and after the civil war. Wages are also higher, but not in proportion to the increased
 cost of living, except perhaps in those industries in which the workmen are thoroughly organized and have been
 able to meet high prices with hign
 wages. Yet we are told that the re-
 publican leaders have agreed to op- pose any proposition to reduce the

 competition possible through imports from abroad. Congress will meet in

The biggest national convention of the year will be the fifteenth na- tional irrigation congress that con- venes in Sacramento in September. It is confidently anticipated that the attendance of delegates will reach three thousand. This is more than double the number present at any previous meeting of the body. The congress will be also the most repre- sentative in the history of the or ganization. The delegates include the vice president of the United States, members of the presidents cabinet, senators and representa- tives in the federal congress, from nearly every state in the union. In addition to these representatives of the national government, governors of states, legislators, state officials and municipal officers from every important center in the United States are among the members of the same body. There is not an organization of national prominence in the coun' try that will be unrepresented in thi' great convention. Educational, pro, fessional and commercial association: and institutions will send delegates No unofficial national convention 1T the United States approaches this IT the broad scope of its purpose ant the distinguished personnel of it' membership.

And according to similar figures prepared by Bradstreet. price, have advanced over per cent during the year ending June 90. 1907. As very many Of the articles included in these figures are controlled by trusts and are virtual monopolies and the trust protecting tariff practically pro- hibits competition from abroad. this enormous increase in the cost Of liv- ing is a most serious question for the consumer of restricted Income.

 Next month, when the vacation season is over and the frost is on the pumpkin and the corn is in the shock, some attention will be given to poli- tics, but even then the municipal brand only will be considered, and the question among Ohioans will be, not who will be candidates for presi- dent, but who is the man for mayor, and who are the best men for the board of public service.-Toledo Blade.

The question for a leader for the democracy in Connecticut is discussed by Trumbull in the New York Sum day Herald. Of course every one knows Trumbull is Editor Osborne of The Journal and Courier, formerly of the New Haven Register. Every one knows also that unless the breach has been healed there is no love lost betweea Osborne and Troup, so that the reference to the latter as lead CT for the democracy may be bit of that suitable sarcasm of which Trum- bull has a plenty. Here is what he says: Plainly the immediate future of the democratic party in this state depends entirely upon the action of the national convention. If Mir Bryan is made the candidate of the national party it is perfectly clear to see what will happen here. By all the unwritten laws of consistency his personal friends will wield the power and determine the attitude of the or ganization. The state leader should logically be Alexander Troup, of New Haven. or a man designated by him. He has proved his loyalty to MT Bryan and Mir Bryan's ideas in a thousand ways and in event of that gentleman's nomination occurring the leader should be Mr Troup with out a question. The nomination for governor would then logically go tc Senator McNeil. of Bridgeport. who, like MT Troup. is a loyal supporter of Mir Bryan and Mr Bryan's ideas That much accomplished in the way of party organization, the rest would follow as a matter of course.
