GIFT FOR NOT MARRYING.

One of the dazzling gifts that haA
made New York sit up and take notice
is that of $4,000 in cold cash given
Mrs. James L. Kernochan, young widow
of clubman,' as reward for not
marrying again. The gift comes from
her late husbands mother, Mrs. James
P. Kernochan.
The young widow has always been a
favorite with her late husbands mother
and the latter was shocked at the an
nouncement last summer that Jack w.
Forster, professional master of hunt.
imported to handle the hounds for P.
F. Collier, had won her as his promised
bride. Mrs. Kernochan, the elder, would
not credit it. And In due time her
view of it prevailed. Forsters faded
away to his ancestral village In Eng
land. and Mrs. Kernochan, the younger,
continued to enjoy yearly income Of
$4,000 a year, made possible by the
generosity Of her mother-in-law. Now
the young widow gets $4,000 besides.

INTENSIVE FARMING.

Some Object Lessons for the Tillers
of the Soil.
The Wall Street Journal suggests
that intensive agriculture be more gen.
orally adopted as an investment 1t
argues that thousands of people have
left the country and entered the cities
because of actual necessity. They
skinned away the cream from the soil
and, by extravagant methods, exhaust
ed its vitality. Then there was no
refuge left except the wage-earning cen
tiers. But their presence in the cities
does not prove that they are any better
off in the possession of this worlds
goods. On the contrary, it demonstrates
the opposite. In commenting on the sit
uation the Journal says:
Intensive cultivation of ten acres
should give better returns than extern
sive cultivation of a hundred acres
This Is what the agricultural depart
ments of the State and nation are all
seeking to accomplish. They are ac-
complishing it much more rapidly and
thoroughly than is generally under
stood. As they accomplish this work
agriculture will come to be a more and
more attractive field for capital invest
ments, even on the part of people who
live in cities. Dispatches of few days
ago stated that throughout the South
west investors from the city were put
ting their surplus funds into farm
lands. The same thing has been going
on for ten years throughout the surplus
corn States. Land values have risen
rapidly in the South also"
We have reached the day of intensive
soil cultivation. It has required many
years Of experimenting and unsuccess-
full crop returns to bring about this re-
suit The farmers wanted too many
acres to plant to corn, cotton, wheat or
tobacco. They permitted the rains to
wash away the surface soil and leave
the clay or limestone strata. There
was no economic system In the work
Of retaining soil fertility. Now all is
changed. The farmer, who does not
60 to the city to find work, Is an edu-
Gated man In all that makes up prof
table tiller Of the soil. He works not
only for home and temporary abode,
but because there is profit in handling
the products Of his fields.
The trend of thought toward the land
as an investment will not be changed
In many years. There is something
tangible in the cultivated fields, or
chards and gardens. The world must
be fed from the products Of the land.
If that which humanity requires IL not
grown in the United States It will be-
imported from other countries. The

Judge Wickersham Says Muck Mining
Will Hold Claim.
Dawson, Y. T., Feb. 23.-Import-
ant news to all owning claims in the
Forty Mile, Tanana, Circle and other

L. Sale. just from Fairbanks, in re-
spect to the rulings of Judge James
Wickersham, of the United States dis
trict court, sitting at Fairbanks and
the United States appellate court, sit
ting at San Francisco.
Mr.. Sale says that the appellate
court has held that discovery in the
muck or surface rgound is deemed
sufficient to hold claim, and that the
gold does not have to be discovered in
the lower gravels so long as found
elsewhere on the claim.
Even paintings with pie plate, says
Mr.. Sale, we're held to be sufficient to
hold q claim. It matters not how few
or how small the colors, so long as col
ors are obtained.

PRUNEs CUTTING OUT PRIsMs

Supply of Fruit Coming from Cali
fOrnia Encouraging to Landladies.
When one thinks of all the board
inghouse breakfasts in the country it
is not surprising that more than 1OO,-
100000 pounds of prunes are eaten
yearly In the United States.
Prior to 1886 the supply came al
most wholly from France and the Dan
ubian provinces, and sold under the
designation of French and Turkish
prunes.
In that year prunes Of American
growth appeared on the market and
with each succeeding year the supply
has increased, until the Importation
Of foreign fruit has been reduced to
extremely small proportions.
Most of our prune supply is from
California. In Santa Clara County
alone there are 100000 trees grow
ing on $1,000 acres, 100 trees to the
acre. The quantity of prunes there
exceeds 11OOOO,OOO pounds more than
enough for the requirements Of the
whole country, but the excess Is need
ed to supply the export demand.
In September the fruit ripens and
Is gathered by spreading sheets under
the trees and shaking the branches.
The fruit Is taken to the warehouse,
where it is graded in size and passed
through boiling hot liquid, in which
process it is cleaned and the outer skin
softened. It Is then spread out in
trays feet by 8 feet in size, and ex-
posed to the heat of the sun for three
to eight days, depending upon weather
conditions.
Ten thousand trays of fruit spread
out in one unbroken tract may be seen
in Santa Clara In the drying season.
When sufficiently cured the prunes are
stored in separate bins and there al
lowed to sweat, this process taking
from ten to twenty days, when they
are ready for neutrality-suspicious. to

WANT NO SUBSTITUTE

Railway Unions State Their Preference
for LaFollette Bill.
Washington, Feb. 23--H. r. Fuller,
Legislative representative of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive engineers, Fire
men and Trainmen and the Order OF
Railway Conductors, talked with Pres
ident Roosevelt about the bill pend
ing in the house limiting to l6 hours
a days work on railroads.
Mr.. Fuller told the president that the
railroad labor unions are opposed to
the house substitute forthe La toilette

no legislation at all than that OF the
house bill.
The D. esident, it is said, favors the

LUXURY IN RANCH HOUSE.

Cut Glass and Silverware-C0stly
Gifts for Guests.
A little One-stOry, six-room, long
ranch house in Lander, Wyo., with
sage-brush land stretching away from
it in all directions and with only a
numbering mountain stage coach,
drawn by four horses, connecting it
with the outside world, has In 1t more
than any other house, public or pri-
vate, in the State.
Arapahoe boasts not near fifty souls
all told. But the traveller going by
stage from Lander to Shoshone will
find its ranch an uncommonly good one
at which to stay over night, for Mrs.
Becker, its gracious hostess, does not
spend all her money on ornaments for
her table. She always makes enough
to pay two first-class Chinese cooks
and to supply her table with delica-
cies.
Many ranch houses look neither more
nor less inviting from the outside
than does this one. Dirt, poor food,
cracked dishes, wretched service and
insufferably bad beds compose the ac-
commodations. The traveller is agree
ably surprised, then, when he finds the
wealth of cut glass, china and silver
ware which graces Mrs. Becker's table,
excellent service, every delicacy that
a city market affords, cleanliness ev-
erywhere, easy chairs and couches,
beds fresh and comfortable, and an at
mOsphere of refinement.
Mrs. Becker's cut glass, china and
silverware are the pride and the de-
light Of Arapahoe, and all the coun-
tryside round about it. Even the In
dams who have got glimpse of them
regard them with a sort of proprietary
interest. Not long ago Mrs. Becker
sent an order to New York for thou
sand dollars worth Of cut glass, and
that thousand dollars worth is not all
she has. Besides her valuable collec-
ton of cut glass, china and silverware,

wife a present of $500 or 5000 worth
of blankets and curios recently and
thought nothing of it.. She is West
ern woman and does things in a West
ern way.
Not long ago Mrs. Becker gave a
party at her ranch house, to which she
invited some of the best known folk in
Lander, and army officers and their
wives from Fort Washable. 1t was a
unique society function. Each of the
numerous guests went home with a
costly gift from the hostess. One
young lady was given a saddle, an
other beautiful and costly souvenir
spoon, with an elk's tooth set in the
handle, and others received gifts equal

No tendency Of modern times has
caused so much uneasiness in the minds
of social philosophers and reformers as
the drift of population from the rural
districts to the cities. That this ten
dency is deplorable is admitted on all
hands, but there Is no general agree
ment as to what should be done to dis
courage it. Recently, however, public
speakers and writer's have been insist
ing that the way to keep the bright
young men and women on the farms
is to ameliorate the conditions OF coun-
try life The extension of telephone
lines into the country and the rural
free mail delivery are steps In that
direction. But the general improvement
of the country roads would be far
more important step. Bad roads 40
more than anything else to promote
ignorance, isolation, encouragement,
and disgust among the country people.
Good roads promote attendance at
school and the church; they make So
cial gatherings, literary societies, dra-
matte entertainments, and club and
lodge meetings possible during the WIN
ter and spring. With bad roads the
farmer is compelled to hibernate, So
cially, for three or four months in the
year. With good roads, these months
become the most pleasant and in some
respects the most profitable in the year.
The improvement Of the country
roads is now recognized as one of the
greatest questions before the American
nized as a question which concerns not
merely the rural population, but the
whole people. Many public men have
declared their conviction that road i'm
provement is a proper subject for ma
tional as we'll as State legislation.
Among the reasons offered in support
of this view are the following:
First-The improvement Of the high
ways is too great burden for the rural
population to bear alone. If left to
them the problem will never be solved
Second-The improvement of the
roads would benefit all classes through
out the entire country hence, the Whole
people should share in the necessary
expense.
Third-The improvement Of the roads
is necessary to the extension Of the
rural free delivery system, and Con-
gress is authorized by the Constitution
to 0octo blicb poSt-roadSo
Fourth-The improvement of the
roads is certainly as fit subject for
national legislation as improvement 81
rivers and harbors.
Bills are now before both Houses Of
Congress providing for an appropria-
ton of twenty-four million dollars to
be used during the next three years as
fund for national aid to road improve
ment The fate of these bills depends
largely upon the attitude of the farm
ers on the question. If they would
unite in a strong demand for national
aid, it would speedily become an ac-
cOmnliShed fact

sTUYvEsANT FISH.

| sTUYvEsANT FISH. q personality that
10 refreshing for its rarity. Mr.. Fish,
although he has made his own mark in
the world and has risen to his pres.
ent high standing through his own
merit comes Of family that has fur
nlsned warriors of note In every con-
nict In which the United States has
been engaged, from the revolutionary
struggle to the recent scrimmage with
Spain, and has produced as well states
men who have taken a leading part
In the building Of the nation.
He Is 81 years old, and the youngest
son of the late Hamilton Fish, former
governor of New York State and Sec
rotary Of State under Grant. He is q
grandson of Nicholas Fish, who served
In the war Of the revolution with dis
tlnction. On the maternal side he is
descended from Peter Stuyvesant, the
famous Dutch colonial governor.
Though with forbears of wealth and
high social standing, Stuyvesant Fish
had to work like any poor mans son
when young, and to this day shows the
effect of that hard training in the
school of life. He was graduated from
Columbia College, but got his prepara-
tory education in the public schools.
In 1871, when he was 20 years old,
having just left college, he was put to
work in minor place in the office of
the president Of the Illinois Central
Railroad. He was often so hard up
that he had to walk from his boarding
place to his Office.
He did not remain very long a clerk
in the Illinois Central office, but Sc
cured place in the banking house of
Morton, Bliss & Co. There, in the
language of the street, he "made good"
to such an extent that in 1874, when
he had been with the firm three years,
he was promoted to the position Of
Office manager. By 1876 he was thought
Of enough consequence to be placed on
the directorate of the road in whose
presidents Office he had first worked
for wages. Thence he rose to the
presidency in 1887. Thus fedged, Mr..
Fish took his place among the substan-
tial business men of New York.
1t is amusing to contrast the absence
Of public prominence as regards him
self to the prominence which for years
has been accorded to his wife, the lead
er Of the New York 400" While Mrs.
Fish has been making social history
with her illimitably varied entertain
ments, her peasant Dances" her fetes
"a la Trainon," her dinners, Mr.. Fish
has gone on his unnoticed way, work
ing as hard as If he really had to.
Mr.. Fish feels personal love for his
railroad. It has been his life work.
The matter of diffusion Of personal In
terest in the welfare Of the corpora
tion, In fact, is one Of his most inter-

RESCUED
PRINCE DOES GALLANT WORK IN
BERLIN DISASTER.
That Any of the Passengers
Were Saved Largely Due to
Determination of Henry of Hol-
land--Thirty Hours of Danger
GUS Work By Lifeboat Men.

London, Feb. 23.-The worst disas-
ter in many years in the history of the
busy cross channel traffic between
England and the continent occurred
during heavy gale shortly before
O'Clock yesterday morning, when the
Rotterdam mail steamer Berlin, from
Harwich to Hook of Holland, having
satisfactorily weathered the hurricane,
was wrecked as she was entering port.
There we're 143 persons on board, and
a large majority of them have un-
doubtedly persisted.
The terrific seas broke upon the
steamer with such awful suddenness
that all attempts to save life appear to
have been hopeless.
Hook of Holland, Feb. 23.-Largely
as the result of the courage and deter
mination of Prince Henry, of the
Netherlands, the prince consort, that
which last night appeared to be an
impossible task has been acnhieved,
and the heroic and uniflnching efforts
of the Dutch lifeboat men have sue
ceeded in rescuing alive eleven more
of the survivors of the Inflated steam
er Berlin.
The gallant Dutch lifeboat men we're
rewarded after more than thirty hours
of hard and dangerous work. Bufeted
and driven back time after time, they
refused to relax their attepmts to res
cue the handful of shipwrecked peo-
pie, and finally at 1920 in the after
noon, the receding tide and some i'm
provement in the weather having made
some conditions easier, their long
fight was crowned with success.
Although several of the persons we're
in the last stages of exhaustion, they
are now on the road to recovery and
some Of them have been able to tell
of their awful experience. Two
women and child are still on board
the wreck, but 1t is feared they are
dying. Nothing daunted, however,
the brave Dutchmen are preparing to
make further desperate efforts to res
cue them. The prince consort, after
his frs tattempt to reach the wreck,
when he saw there we're still some sur
vivors on board, declared:
"We won't return to The Hague be-
fore we save them. We must get them
somehow"
Rescuers Are Cheered
The news that this determination
had been fulfilled reached the waiting
crowds and there was wild rush
of the people to the various points Of
vantage overlooking the harbor.
When the prince consort anne
ashore his face was radiant with CRATE
full joy. Every Dutchman present for
feited his national reputation for sto-
lidity by joining in rousing cheer.
