terrible disaster when perhaps eighty
men lost their lives in the collapse Of

scene of the disaster.
The people are literally crushed by
the awfulness Of the calamity, and lit
tie has been done in the way OF re-
covering the bodies No list Of the
dead has been compiled and no
steps have been taken to explore the
great mass Of broken and twisted

PRITCHARD AGAINST RAILROAD.
Important Decision in South Carolina
Damage Suit.

Asheville. n. c., Aug. 29.-Judge j.
c. Pritchard in the United States
court. rendered a decision today in
the case Of Charles ]. Morrow versus
Charlotte Air Line Railway company,
remanding the case back to the South
Carolina State court.
Morrow sued the railway for s1O.-
600 on account of personal damages
sustained by him. the suit being en-
tsred in the State court Of South Car
olina. The railway company petition
ed that the case be moved to the Uni
ted States circuit court on the ground
OF diversity OF citizenship, the rail-
way company alleging that it was a
citizen OF North Carolina, while the
plaintiff was a citizen Of South Caro-
lima.
Judge Pritchard after hearing the
argument remanded the case back to
the South Carolina State court from
whence 1t was removed on the ground
that the railway company was a do
mestic corporation.

the plants of the poor yielding rows
should be discarded The best plants
Of the best yielding rows should be
saved for the next years breeding
patch, and the general seed from best
yielding rows can be thrown together
and ginned for field purposes. If
these seed are separated by the grav-
ity method perfected by DR.. Webb
and Mr.. Bokyin Of the plant breeding
department Of the government your
system will be we'll nigh perfect. This
method carried on from year to year
VIII quickly result in a big increase
in yield and quality.
The correct method Of corn breed
ing is even simpler than that appli-
cable to cotton.
Select 25 ears from the best field Of
corn you can find, OF q variety you
like. Pick ears of good size, straight
rows and deep grain that are well
filled at butt and tip. Take none that
have been attacked by weevils. Select
only from upright stocky stalks that
have their ears set low.
Plant 25 rows with these seed, us
Ing one-half to two-thirds Of the seed
from each ear, reserving the balance
to use IL case Of disaster Give each
seed ear and corresponding row a
number. Take note Of the features
which each row displays during the
growing season. When the tassels be-
gin to appear, detassel alternate
halves Of each row. Select ears for
the next years seed and plant from
the detasselled ends Of the best rows.
This Is important, as it has been prov-
ed that the detasselled stalks produce
much better seed-their seed being
all cross-bred and none inbred. All
are familiar with the disastrous re-
suits of continued inbreeding of ami
mails, and similar results follow the
inbreeding of corn.
The Illinois experiment station in
1908 and 1904 got an average yield
of IL bushels more from the seed of
detasselled plants than from the seed
Of plants of the same variety that had
been allowed to tassel.
Take all the good remaining ears
from the detasselled ends Of the best
yielding rows for fell seed the fol-
lowing year.
Continue to carry on this system
for few years and the results will
surprise you,
In the scope Of this paper I cannot
begin to cover all the features of seed
breeding that are important to our
farmers and would advise all those
who are interested to write the Uni
ted States department Of agriculture
for bulletins, giving full details Of
how to proceed with the work of Sc
lection and breeding those crops in
which we are most Interested
Eevery year important problems
are being worked out and proved BY
the department OF agriculture at
Washington by the State experiment
stations and by our best farmers, and
the progressive farmer must keen in
formed and use all that will benefit
him. In other words. he must keep
out Of the ruts, and to do this, he
must keep wide awake and watch the
road.
The splendid reception given the
Williamson plan should reassure ali
who have doubted the progressiveness
OF the southern farmer. 1t is to my
mind the longest step forward by
southern agriculture in several gene
rations. 1t makes me believe that this
work Of seed selection and breeding

IDLE GOSSIP SENDS =
YOUNG WOMAN TO JAIL.
Her own Jocose Remark About Robbery
the Only Foundation for Charge
Against Her.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 12.-Etta
Reed, a pretty girl, spent last night in
the county jail, but she has now been
released on nominal bail. The charge
against her was grand larceny, and was
made ION information and belief" by
Mrs. Cornelia Voorhees,, of South
Brunswick. where Miss Reed also lives.
Some days ago Mrs. Voorhees, lost
jewelry valued at s25. She says it was
stolen, When Miss Reed heard of the
loss she exclaimed:
Gracious, 1 hope they don't suspect
me-"
1t appears there was no reason why
she should be suspected. as the girl
never mad an opportunity to take the
jewelry. Gossip followed the joking re-
mark, which went around the country
side, and it became twisted into such
shape that by the time it reached Mrs.
Voorhees, it amounted to a confession
by the girl that she had stolen the
articles.
Hence the complaint ION information
and BELIEF and the issuance of the
warrant. After the arrest Deputy
Sheriff Overman traced the gossip. On
the strength of his report the bail bond
was made only $50.

UBHAUS ACTING CHIEF;
CONNELL MAY RUN BUREAU.
Corbitt and Carroll Begin Vacations,
Conjecture as to Acting Po-
lice Heads.

Chief of Police Corbitt started or his
vacation last night. Captain Ubhaus, of
the Fifth Precinct station assuming the
duties of that Office.
There was considerable speculation as
to who would be put in Corbitt's place
during his absence. 1t was thought
that Captain Michael J. Ryan. of the
First Precinct station, would be Sc
lected by the Police Board to fill Cor
bits pr3ce during the chiefs absence.
However, according to a precedent that
has been lived sup to, the office of chief
of police is filled by the senior captain.
1t was perhaps on this account that
Ubhaus was CHOSEN to take Corbitts
place.
Chief Corbitt will go on the grocers'
excursion to the Thousand Islands, and
with him will go Captain Carroll. Car
roll made up his mind last week that
he would take in the grocers' excursion,
and with Chief Corbitt on the same
excursion there has been considerable
speculation as to who would be placed
in charge of the bureau during the
commandments absence. Many thought
1t would be Detective Sergeant Long,
the oldest member. of that department,
geant Tuite would be in charge, as he
acted during Carroll's absence a short
time ago..
However, the chances are that Ser
geant Cornell, of headquarters. will
look after the bureau In CAROLS alb

new NIGHT SCHOOL
FOR ITALIANS IN ST. ROC
cos PARISH.
Will Teacf-English to the Scholars and
Instruct Them in American History
and Political Economy.

A new feature of the parochial
school work in this city will be taken
up during the coming winter by the
Rev. James Zuc ,arelli, rector of St.
Rocco's Church In Bedford street, when
he will open a night school for the in
struction of young men of his parish
in the, English language and in Amer
lean history and primary political
economics.
The latter feature will be adopted
in connection with the former for the
reason that foreign-born residents of
this country are now required to have
a knowledge of the English language
so that they may be able to read the
American Constitution and become
acquainted with the laws of the land.
Professor Hannibal Cozzolino has
agreed to give a complete course of
lessons at theanight school in both Eng
lish and italian from the first of Oc-
tober TO the first of May.
The school is at 7 Bedford street, and
is maintained by the large congrega-
ton composed of ItaliSeps in the Hill
section of the city. The regular
p%arochial school was reopened last
Monday with an attendance of about
300 pupils.
The children are instructed by three
English-speaking Sisters of Charity,
assisted by a lay Italian-English speak
ing instructor. Father Zuccarelli is re-
garded as a man OF progressive ideas
among the Italians of the city as we'll
as by native-born persons who are acc
quainted with him and his work.

CAR LEAVES THE YACHT
WHICH WENT AGROUND
Strenuous Efforts to Keep News of the
Accident from the Russian
Public.


ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 12.-No
official announcement had been made
here regarding the grounding of the
imperial yacht stranded off Horsoe,
near Hango, Finland, yesterday after
noon. The new has been withheld even
from the embassies .ano hint of the ac-
cident has been allowed to reach the
public, and the newspapers have been
forbidden to publish a word on the
subject under pain of heavy fines and
imprisonment, as provided for by the
recent drastic order prohibiting the
publication of unofficial news regard
ing the imperial family.
The Associated Press. however, learns
that the grounding of the yacht, on
board of which were Emperor Nicholas
and Empress Alexandra and their fam
lily, produced a depressing effect upon
Captain Stagin, the commander of the
vessel. The STANDARD lies in a most
unfavorable position upon some rocks.
which are Submerged at high tide. EX-
emplary order was maintained on
board, and news of the disaster having
been ~telegraphed to the naval authori-
ties, several warships and a salvage
steamer wefe hurried TO Horsoe.
At 10 o'clock last night the imperial
on board the dispatch boat Asia, while
urgent orders were telegraphed to St
Petersburg to have the yacht Alexandra
sent to Horsoe, where she is expected
in the course of the day.
