ParkcrsburS Man Finds No Fault With
Division OF Estate. RI
WEST CHESTER, PA. October 90.
David Harry. who before the war was
q young blacksmith at Parkersburg,
and who served in the Civil War to
his credit, has turned up in his native
town. to the astonishment of the few
relatives and friends yet remaining
there.
Forty years ago he dropped, out of
sight and his relatives. believing him
dead, settled and distributed his small
estate. This was done more than
twenty-five years ago. He says that
he located in Iowa, where he has had
fairly good luck. and it is limited that
he may see fit to. remain here with
his three sisters, whom he will meet
here this week.
Harry is perfectly satisfied with the
distribution of his estate, and offers
not u single objection to the proceed
inss under the very plausible belief
that he was dead. flc finds only a few
acqnaintances to greet him.

TURKISH TOBACCO,
Supplying Cigarette Makers Great
est Industry of Trebizond.

Consul M. A. Jewett Of Trebizond gives
the following account of the cigarette to-
bacco trade Of that part of Asia Minor:
Tobacco for cigarettes is the most i'm
portant product Of the Trebizond province
OF Asia Minor. The tobacco-growng re-
gions embrace Bafra. Samsoun, Platena
and Trebizond. Last year 9.O63 tons Of
cigarette tobacco were exported from Sam
SCUM, Of which 600 tons went direct to the
United States. The annual product of tho
whole province is about 1900 tons. The
value Of the declared exports of cigar
ette tobacco to the United States for the
whole province during the year ended
June 80. 1907. was $4OO, O,629.
The crop for this year, In spite of the
damage done by insects, promises to be
large and Of good quality In the Trebi-
zond and Platena districts a cut worm did
some little damage in the early part of the
season, but the crop is estimated at 80 or
40 per cent more than last year. AS prac-
tically nothing was done to. destroy the
cut worms 1t is feared that next year
they may be much more abundant and
cause serious damage. In the Bafra re-
gion the locusts did considerable damage.
and the crop is reported as considerably
below the average"

WARNS COTTON GROWERS.
Speaker at Banquet Says Gambling
viii Cripple Trade.

CHICAGO, October ia warning to
American cotton growers that cotton
gambling and attempts to maintain prices
at an abnormally high level would re-
suit ultimately in the Gripping of the
country's export trade was sounded last
night by c. w. Macara at a banquet given
for 115 European cotton manufacturers.
Mr.. NIAGARA is the largest Individual
cotton manufacturer in the world, being
the head Of the International Federation
Of Master Cotton Spinners and president
Of the English federation. In reply to an
address Of welcome extended by Health
Commissioner w. A. Evans. in behalf of
Mayor Busse. Mr.. Macara declared that
continued high prices of raw cotton in
America would force England, France
and other countries to develop their own
cotton-growing industries in their colo
MES.
America now stands at the head of the
cotton growing industry" said Mr. Ma
cara, but II the American growers at
tempt to maintain abnormal prices for the
raw material. we foreign manufacturers
will be forced to go to some other place
for our cotton.
I'VE do not want price that would not
be remunerative to the grower, but we do
not want fancy price simply because
we. across the water. look to the United
States for our supply of material"

PHRYNoMANTI's B1FAscIATus.
New Specimen Of an Interesting
Frog,

DR.. l.. A. Periguey, director OF the
South African Museum at Cape Town, re-
ports the gift of a specimen of the inter-
ssting frog. Phrynomantis bifasciatus,
whose habits. he says, would seem to
put IN the shade all 'toad-in- -the-hole'
stories The animal was sent from KIM
berley, where IL had been dislodged from
inside log of wood which had no visi-
bic aperture. Probably the most inter-
esting instance OF this character is the
following from a book recognized as an
authority: On the banks OF the Limpopo
river massive tree was cut down, to
obtain wood TO repair wagon. When
Q division into equal halves was effected
by the workman 1t was discovered that
the saw In its course had crossed a large
about an inch In length. Every exertion
was made to discover a means of commu-
nication between the external air and the
cavity, but without success. Every
point OF the latter wa; probed with the
utmost care. and water was kept in each
half for a considerable time without any
passing into the wood. The inner sur
face OF the cavity was black as 4
charred. ana SO was the adjoining wood
for half an inch from the cavity The
tree at the part where the latter ex-
listed, was nineteen inches IN diameter;
the length of the trunk was eighteen feet
When discovered the frogs appeared in
animate. but the influence of a warm
sun to which they were subjected, soon
impaired to them a moderate degree of
vigor. In a few hours from the time
they were liberated they were tolerably
active

lBANDONS OLD POSITION
Believes Her Sex Has No Place in
Country's Politics.
INCIDENT OF BIG CONVENTION
Miss Couzins introduced at Demo
cratic National Gathering to
Present Appeal for Ballot.

Miss Phoebe Couzins has abandoned the
cause of woman's suffrage. She re-
nounces 1t with regret, but she renounces
1t just the same. She stated to Star re-
porter that 1t was like parting with a bit
OF herself to give up the dearly cherished
ideas Of her girlhood, ideas for which she
had spoken upon the platform in every
state in the Union. She was the first to
present the cause Of woman's suffrage In
political convention. This was at the
request of Miss Susan B. Anthony, and
in those days. Miss Couzins remarked
parenthetically, it was Susan and
Phoebe"
Miss Couzins said she had never before
appeared upon any public platform. 1t
