dollars each to become members but
that they could get him in for twenty
dollars. If he would join. They also
told him that they would take him to
their rendezvous and have him initiat-

IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND CLUE
H0 lieht Sized On Recent1 Murder
Mystery
Coroner's Jury Held Inquest Yesser-
day Afternoon and Then Took Re
cess Until Friday-SeVeral Wit
nesses Were Examined.

Absolutely no progress has been
made in the effort to find some clue
which would lead to the discovery OF
the murderer or murderers of Charles
Edwards, colored, whose dead body
was found Sunday morning on Kid
der's Hill in the southern section OF
the city.
The coroner Of the county DR.. c. d.
Bell, aided by several police officers
and others, have made every possible
effort to find some clue which would
throw light on the tragedy, but thus
far without avail.
The coronors jury met yesterday af-
ternoon at 3 o'clock at the county
court house to inquire into the murder.
but after examining several witnesses
they decided not to render verdict
but to take a recess until Friday af-
ternoon at o'clock, it being hoped
that by that time some developments
will have occurred which will aid in
the solution Of the mystery.
The coroner's jury organized yester-
day by electing Mr.. j. w. Branch fore
man and Mr.. B. F. King as secretary.
There were about witnesses examin-
ed, colored men and women, the ex-
animation having been conducted by
County Attorney Marsden Bellamy.
These witnesses were parties who
knew Edwards or who were seen with
him on Saturday but no testimony has
been offered to show with whom Ed
wards left the house on Church street
where he boarded, several having tes-
titled that he was in the house and at
least started to bed about 10 o'clock
Saturday night. At what hour he left
the house and what his future move
ments were are shrouded in mystery
there being no trace of the man from
that time until the dead body was
found early Sunday morning.
Further effort will be made to find
witnesses who can assist in the solu-
tiOn of the tragedy and it Is hoped
that something may turn up by the
time the jury meets tomorrow to again
consider the case.

Socialism in Hungary.

In Hungary a noticeable factor,
writes our Budapest correspondent,
is the enormous influence that Ger
many, Italy and England WELD.
Every work of value dealing with the
diverse forms Of Socialism has been
translated and scattered broadcast in
all disaffected and discontinued areas.
Fines and imprisonment increase, but
the literature of social democracy is
flooding village, hamlet and town
with new ideas and providing new
forces. Certainly one of the best
equipped printing Establishments I
have ever seen outside Of England is
that OF the Socialists in Budapest. It
Is an enormous place. 1t represents
money and it makes money, and
money means organization, and from
this flows pOwer.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A New Pennsylvania Industry.

Paul Firman has bought a 10.
acre tract on which is the largest
grove Of wild persimmon trees in
these mountains. He is now fencing
in the tract as protection for the
'possum, with which he will stock
1t. He says he will own the only
'possum farm In the world.
The opossum does not reach the
height of his glory until persimmons
are ripe. and the layers of white fat
take on the spicy favor Of the fruit.
Mr.. Firman intends to develop the
best variety of pcrsimmon and the
finest breed of opossum, and by next
fall he expects to sell several hun
dred animals at fancy prices. One
OF the sources Of revenue from the
farm will be the sale OF skins to fur
dealers. This fur is rapidly becoming
popular.-Caledonia Correspondence

name as successful agriculturists. Il
is not altogether certain that in the
new century we. deserve it. Our
fame is in large part due to the
skill and perseverance of the men
of the past, the builders of the
shire, the Shorthorn, the Leicester
and the Southdown, as we'll as of our
white breeds of swine, which are al
most as great triumphs of the art OF
the breeder. Speaking for myself,
have found that in foreign countries
reverence for the name of British
farmers has been mainly due to the
great superiority of British livestock
as it has presented itself for COMPARE
son with the varieties which are COM
mon in those countries. It is some
times claimed, not by other people,
but by ourselves, that we grow a
larger quantity Of wheat per acre
than the farmers of any other coun-
try. If this were absolutely true it
calls for no special commentator,
for our wheat area is very small by
comparison with that of other great
countries, especially where prices are
higher, and where, in consequence,
the crop is grown upon soils much in
ferior to those which are employed
for the purpose in this country.
II we submit ourselves to self-ex-
animation and are candid and con-
scientious, we shall find-that is II
we are sufficiently acquainted with
the work Of others-that We are
being distanced in the race. Our but
ter is undersold by the brands of
Denmark and France because of their
general superiority. The average
cheese of our colonies, Canada in
particular, is superior to the average
cheese produced by ourselves. We
cannot compare with the French in
the production Of fine poultry, and
our fruit Is beaten out Of the market |
by that which we import from Tas- !
mania and from across the Atlantic. |
Even among livestock, in which &C. |
partment we are supposed to be pre- |
eminent, we are told by Sir Walter
Gibbey that We are beaten by the l
breeders of carriage horses of the
while the Americans are
preferring the imported Percheron
and Flemish dray horses of France
and Belgium to those upon which we
pride ourselves SO highly. We make
no general attempt to improve any
one national product, such as has
distinguished the Germans. who have
doubled the sugar percentage of the !
,eetroot; the Americans, who have

TACT that our farms are generally to-
large In area to enable the tenant
to produce a sufficiency of manure
If the same capital employed /,

voted to the intense culture of Is,
acres the yield might be so increase,
every rod being cultivated like a gar
den, that the net profits might b,
doubled; and such is the result O

Intense farming not only mean.
abundant manuring and thorough
cultivation. but the employment Of
most carefully selected seed and an
equipment in the form of farm tackle
which will enable the men to gel
through the work with greater speed
and perfection. and thus to avoid
late sowing. late hoeing and late har-
vesting. and all the risks which at
tend each of these operations. It
Is an axiom that late work Is gen.
orally fatal work, and yet there are
so many who postpone haymaking to
the last moment, In the belief that
by obtaining slightly greater weight
they obtain greater value, than which
there can be no greater mistake. In
the late hay crop a large proportion
of the food matter of the plant has
found its way into the seed, so much
of which is shed owing to its over
ripeness, leaving the stems nothing
better than straw. On the other
hand, the early cut grass crop, II
slightly lighter in weight, is much
richer in food value, going further
with stock and giving breathing time
to the farmer between hay time and
harvest, enabling his men to get
among the roots with their hoes,
while 1t practically insures a second
crop Of grass, which in so many cases
never appears when a crop Is cut
late. II we would insure fine grass
crop. we should not only insist on
early cutting. but on the liberal en-
ployment of phosphate manures.
which insure the more luxuriant
growth of the clover family, and
which in consequence 80 improve the
value of the manure produced by
their consumption, owing to the nj.
Erogen they contain, that the grasses,
as they do to heterogeneous
are specially helped in their
urn. Thus it is that phosphates
lave double role, direct and indi-
'ect.

A Tumblinq Brownie.

Here is an amusement for the chill
dren. Little folks, try it.
1t will require one large marble, not
less than one and three-fourths inches
in diameter, one gentlemans celluloid
| cuff and a few inches of thin felt in
| two colOrs Cut the buttOnholes from
the cuff, roll it up into tube just
gether Cut a circular piece of felt
easily through it and sew it firmly to-
gether. Cut cihcular piece OF felt
one-half inch larger than the tube and
sew over the end of the cuff, holding
it loosely, so 1t bags little.
Cut out vest and coat of contrast
ing colors, draw on the upper edge of
the cuff, about one and one.half inch
es from the. top, eyes, nose and mouth
of brownie, such as are found in any
of the papers. This can be done with
a pen and ink or in oil paints. Now
fasten the vest in the back of the
neck, pull the vest down in front to
cover the seam where the circular
piece Of felt was sewn on, and arrange
the coat, fastening in front with large
knots to initiate buttons.
Cut arms and legs of felt. Sew the
legs to the body under the swallow.
tailed coat and attach the arms to the
top Of the coat. Cut a circle of felt,
snip out small triangle from one
side. sew 1t up to make a peaked cap
and finish with tassel; drop the
marble into the body, sew on the cap
and the brownie is finished.
Take smooth board ten inches
wide and eight feet long, elevate one
end on chair. place the brownie on
this end and see him go spinning
heels over head to the bottom, where
he ends with few comical jerks and
twitches.-Ladies' World.
