 This order was issued with a view to relieving the large accumulations of bullion in western hints and assay of Aces, but the secretary finds that in practice the new order produced un- satisfactory results. and therefore the old method of paying for bullion de- posits In New York, Philadelphia.

THORNLEss CACTUS.

Luther Burbank, who has illuminei the world with floral sunshine and made men glad because of the fruits and vegetables he has coaxed from the earth with scientific genius that spread his name and fame throughout the na- tions. Is about to commercialize his greatest triumph" He proposes tc feed man and beast on cactus plants. The cactus plant is of value because 1t can be grown on land that will not produce alfalfa. Mir Burbank estimates that 300o,000000 acres of unproductivc soil throughout the world may be util- ized to yield the new plant,
 Fruit from the cactus will have great commercial and economic value. The fruit may be canned, pickled preserved, made into syrup, or find ready mar ket in the fresh state, and the leaves of the plant may be eaten by man boil ed as greens. fried like an eggplant or eaten as salad Mir. Burbank and his aids have eaten the products of the plant in every style and know that they are good
 For human beings the product of the cactus Is said to have more food value than any other vegetable, con taining more of the minerals and salts --iron, potassium, manganese, calcium, magnesie and soda-that are upbuild CTS of the nerve cells.
 The thornless cactus will be ready for the market in the spring of 1900 when there will be half a million of the plans fourlshiAg Some Idea Of their present value may be gained from the knowledge that Mir. Burbank sold five leaves for seed to an Australian company for 5000, with the proceeds from which he built a new bungalow at Santa Rosa,-Chicago Record Her aid

PUBLIC BEING AROUSED
William IT. Douglass Tells of Growing Feeling in Favor of Governor Woodruff's Denomination
 This Fall.

Tho demand for the renominaton of Governor Woodruff for another term Is becoming more and more pro- nouncod each day all over the state, and persons whose business calls them to the various districts of Connecti- cut, both In the cities and the coun- try places, find that the demand of the people Is almost unlnlmous for Mir. Woodruff. Nowhere does one hear of demand for MT, Llley, and a constantly growing antlpathy toward him is constantly noticed.
 No one class of people q, ,mands the renomination of Governor Woodruff. but the desire comes from every class and business, except perhaps that If the professional politician, With him the trouble is that he has personally pledged the people of his district to Mir. Lilley and that gentleman hav- ing demanded an accounting he has got 10 make good with the delegates in September.
 Many express doubt. even republi- cans, that Mir. Lilley can he elected. They say that though the normal re- publican majority in Goa lecticut 4 year Of national campaign ls large even this will not drag a man whom few want except himself and a small coterie of professional politicians, Into the highest office In the state And on the other hand, even republicans fear that he will not only be nomin- ated, but that he will be dragged In by the national ticket ani elected, an,l 1 think that this would be catas- l trophe.
 | William II, Douglass. president oi the Mechanics bank. anl member of the firm of Dillon X Douglass travels considerably throughout the state and yesterday afternoon he said to The Journal-Courier:
 ''1 find as, 1 travel throughout tho state growing concern among all classes of people lest Lilley te nomin- eted and elected governor. The peo. l pie do not want him, but they art afraid that the republicans will nom. mate him and that he will be elected because of the strength of .he nationa republican ticket.
 ''l am in favor of Governor Wood. ruff for another term in order that ht may finish up the good wofN he com menced with the last legislature, ant because I believe that he people q, the state are thoroughly m favor o' him
 
 "If Mfr. Lilley should get the nomina ton it would be because Inc people q, not have chance 10 make the nomin atlons. For If they did ,he nomine, 1 for governor would be MT Woodruff.
 There Is a growing inclination tt let the so-called leaders know wh' the choice of the people is and if tht leaders are not bound down by prom ises made months ago, .hef will pu up MT Woodruff for another term Mir. Woodruff can probably defeat an, democrat in the state.
 The public conscience of the stat Is thoroughly aroused and Governo Woodruff would give m administra tion along clean and honest bushes lines that would not dislppolnt an. people interested in tho welfare of tn state"

FAIR HAVEN NEWS
Opinion That Estimated Cost of Abolishing Grand Avenue Railroad Crossing Is
 Too Extravagant,

"I think tho estimate of the city fathers for the expense of abolish'ns that Grand avenue railroad crossing at Railroad avenue. viz, S5o0,000, Is al- together too eXtraVagant. said well known man last evening. Tn my opinion that bridge and Inc assess ments for damages, ,an be put through for from sl5o,O00 to s20o,O0O. That It will be great bensfit to Falr Haven, goes without saying Besides the greater safety 10 life, which is the prime consideration, lust see the delay that it will save. TaKe the ono item of street car travel, All who ride through Grand avenue know how the cars are delayed by the stop that Is made to see If cars can cross and the greater delay when long freight train Is making the crossng Now take all the people who are thus de- layed in year and the loss ls a greater proposition than you would believe. Then just see how many teams are delayed and how many foot passengers It would seem to mo, that this crossing would have been the first that the city would have elim- mated. To my mind, 1t Is ny far more important than the bridging of the crossing at Chapel street md Railroad avenue, It will be good thing for Fair Haven when this bridge Is built and let us hope that the city will be able to get through the improvement next year at the latest"
