HOWARTH FAv0RS
CONVENTION HALL
THINKS BUILDING SHOULD BE
MUCH USED FOR CONCERTS
URGES FAVORABLE VOTE.

John B. Howarth, OF the Pingree
company, feels that the vote on the
proposition to bond the city for the
construction of fine convention hall
at the primaries next week. should
show a large majority In favor OF the
proposition.
The spirit of competition to which
this COUNTRY owes its development"
says Mr.. Howarth. extends farther
than to individuals and firms. 1t Is
now a moving force among the cities
Of this country. Whereas cities
formerly Wed with one another
10 secure the greatest popula-
ton, the ethical viewpoint Is now be-
ing more considered, and there Is now
being manifested a spirit Of competi-
ton along educational and edifying
lines. -.-
"A convention hall which can be
Iised not only for large conventions.
but for musical entertainments OF a
high grade at popular prices and lee
lures and other similar attractions.
will be a good Investment for Detroit
The bringing OF conventions here will
do much to further advertise Detroit's
many advantages, and II Is very de-
sirable that we should have a suitable
hall for them, but l do not see why
fine concerts cannot be given In such
a hall at prices OF Is. 25 and 80 cents
and be made to pay well with such a
seating capacity as this hall should
have"

MAD Anthony" Wayne.
From the Philadelphia Press.

kAAS ACSS.
Pennsylvania discharges a tardy
tribute to n Of its greater soldier
sons by dedicating at Valley Forge a
monument to Anthony Wayne, just 90
years after his bones were brought
to st. David's church.
He was in life probably as much
irritated by references to his camp title
OF Mad Anthony" as was Sheridan by
references to his ride to Winchester.
Both gave a false impression of two
soldiers, full OF daring valor, but cool,
farsighted and distinguished above all
else by their capacity skilfully to direct
troops on the battlefield rather than for
mere headlong onset in a charge.
Wayne, like SO many of the lead
ers Of the only revolution in history
led by men of large means, inherited
a fortune large for the day. His grand
father came to this country with
money n his father added to 1t. OF
Yorkshire stock, both grandfather.
father and son represented the active,
wiry, hustling and somewhat conscious
type which marks the long list of able
men the three "ridings' of York have
given to English and American history,
Dark, sallow, clean cut, Wayne was
born with fastidious tastes, dressed
with scrupulous care, had, as he wrote
to Washington, IAN ~insuperable bias
for an elegant uniform" powdered his
hair in amp n had a genius for
enforcing dlSclpllne ana winning deVO-
ton.
A Chester county man, he took to
politics. az his father and grandfather
had before him. 1t Is still a habit OF
Chester county men. Before he was
80 he had made his mark in affairs,
and was one of the strong and we'll
organized body Of Pennsylvanians who
carried the state into the revolution.
When war came he organized his regi-
ment and promptly rose to the COM
mand of a brigade, which never failed
to do it's work. He had, as so many
Pennsylvania brigade and corps COM
manders showed in the civil war, a
special power in holding a fighting line
and effectively moving a brigade, even
when the days of drill had been short.
Wayne died, his work in the north
west just over, at 81, and his monu
ment will recall to all who see it one
of the foremost builders Of the nation
whom this state has given to the

FEepiNG LANES ARE CHEAPER,

From the Drovers' Telegram.
TT begins to look very mucn as II
sheep feeders would be able to get their
lambs this fall much cheaper than last
season." This statement was made to-
day by Eugene Daigh, of Palmer Lake,
Colo. The dry condition of most Of
the range country had the effect Of
cutting short the feed, and sheepmen
in most parts Of h range territory
will be willing to sell at lower prices
this fall. The lambs, as a rule, will
not be as large or as good in quality
as they Were a year ago, but the diff
ference In the price will make up for
that. 1t seems safe now to say that
lambs that sold for 50 a head last fall
can De bought this fall for $1.75. Sheep
feeders paid fancy prices a year ago
for feeding sheep Of all kinds and they
are a little slow now about buying.
At this time Last season thousands Of
lambs had been contracted for, but up
to the present time I know Of but very
few hat have been sold for delivery
this fall. This shows the feeling among
prospective feeders. We still hin q
good many sheep will be fed, but buy

Chinese Cows and Butter Fat.

Consul Wilbur T. Gracey, of Using,
tau, transmits the following report re-
garding cattle in the Chinese rovin
of Shangtung:
II am informed by DR.. Martini that
a most curious fact has been discovered
by him and his assistants in relation to
the percentage of butter fat contained
in the milk of the hines cows. These
locally grown animals are much smaller
smaller quantity of milk, but 1t con-
tains Z to s per cent fat, while cows
milk in the United States seldom yields
more than 2 to 3 per cent fat, and
per cent is considered extraordinary.
This increased percentage of fat is said
to be due to the bean cake fed to the
animals here. Peanuts and beans are
grown throughout this province in large
quantities and crushed into peanut OF;
and bean oil, which is exported In large
quantities. The refuse from the mills
is pressed into round cakes, measuring
about Is inches in diameter and two to
three inches thick, which is largely ex-
ported to Japan for use as a fertilizer.
and is fed to cows, oxen and all draft
animals The bean cake when used
Is pounded up in rough granite NOR

all domestic animals in this country
seem to appreciate its peculiar flavor

tanned in the milk here makes II unsat-

TRAINING YOUNG HORSES.

Training horses requires skill and
patience, particularly much of the lat
ter. By controlling your own temper
Q will be better able to gain control
over the horse you wish to handle. Be
gentle with the colts and gain their
confidence. Do not attempt to make
them do too much at first. Instruct
them in one thing uitl it is thoroughly
learned. When horses are two or three
years old it is time to begin to break
them to- harness. At the same time the
young horse should be taught to fear
nothing. He should be taken to places
there railroad trains pass or where
locomotives stand and blow off steam
and whistle. At first the young horse,
particularly II a country one, will be
skittish. Be patient tand he will get
over this. Do @ yell at him. When
you do SO 0 simply make him more
Work with him until you as
sure him he is not going to be hurt and
he will then go with you where you
urge him. Another thing, always train
a horse to lead and to walk fast. New
err strike a colt or any other domestic
animal on the head and never kick or
club them. In fact, the whip is OF very
little use. The horse wants to please
you and will do 81 If given proper
treatment. Try 1t.

Stick to History.

From the Milwaukee Evening wisconsin.
The Watertown Leader contains the fol-
lowing readable paragraph:
Who discovered America? Christopher
Columbus? No, the Irish discovered Am
erica. King Alfonso will declare var on
Ireland when he learns that the famed
glory and historians will turn over in
their graves when they hear of their mis-
take Where did the American Indian
originate? The mystery is at last solved.
Monaghan, of Notre Dame university,
amused the Irish Fellowship club yester-
day with these revelations. He said that
Pat discovered Iceland, Greenland and
America and proved that the Irish We're
here first by the Indian tribe names. The
O~nandagas took their name from the Irish
messy; the vance from S~haughnessy;
the Michigans from the Mick Egans: the
Oregons from the O'Regans; the Omahas
from the O'Mahers; the Osceolas from the
o'scullys- "The early Irish were riding
through the woods one day in Wisconsin,"
said the professor when they missed
oh, let OiConnor walk said another, and
thereupon the Wisconsin Indians were
named Oconomowocs."
In this hot weather, when the telegraph
wires are burdened with reports Of crimes,
and when intellectual interest languishes
except under the stimulus of themes which
inspire the imagination, it is a happy
thought to revive the well known tradi-
ton of the Irish as the original discoveries
of America. But even in hot weather, re-
gard should be had for "the truth of his
tory Both the Leader and Prof. Mo-
naghan have fallen into inadvertencies.
Columbus was not a Spaniard. but an Ital-
tan-an Italian from Genoa, by-the-way,
not AN Italian from Cork and the
concluding anecdote in Prof. M~onaghan's
entertaining string does not accurately re-
port the pregnant remark concerning
O'Connor. which was as follows: Sure,
O'Connor may walk" The derivation of
Oconomowoc from the phrase as mis-
quoted in the report of Prof. Monaghan's
lecture would be difficult to trace.

PHOTOGRAPHS ON
GROWING FRUITS
Method Of Printing Photographs
on Apples, Tomatoes
and Pumpkins.

1t is a simple matter to print photo
graphs upon the ordinary red apple, the
tomato and smooth skinned pumpkin II
one goes about it In the right way. The
skin Of an apple, tomato or pumpkin, par
ticularly at a certain stage OF It's ripen-
ing, bears a strong resemblance to photo
graphic plates and printing paper, for the
reason that 1t is sensitive to light. 1t Is
this sensitiveness that where a leaf in-
tervenes so as to cut Off the light close
to the pumpkin. apple or tomato, will
print a silhouette as 1t were In green
upon the red or yellow ground.
II first hunted out an apple having a
leaf close to Its surface says a writer in
ST. Nicholas, placed q piece OF glass be-
meath the leaf and on 1t cut my Initials
with a sharp knife. I then removed the
glass and pasted the leaf firmly to the
apple so 1t would not be blown away by
the wind, and left it for a week.
AT the end of that time / took the APP
pie, soaked off the leaf and found my In
itials in bright red on a light green
ground having the outline of the leaf. My
success prompted me to try an actual
photograph, or one printed from a photo
graph negative.
IT selected some apples OF the red va
riety that were yet green and encased
them in bags made of the black paper in
which plates and paper are usually
packed. Those bags were left on for ten
Gays 10 exclude the light ana ADD TO the
sensitiveness of the surface.
the end of this time the bags were
removed and film negatives were pasted in
position by using the white of IN egg.
This white of an egg / found later to be
the only adhesive that would not show in
the print.
I'm order that all except the image
when printed might be green, the apples
were again enclosed in the protecting
bags, this time an opening a little larger
than the portrait being cut opposite the
film. This acted much as would a vignet-
ting device over a printing frame and
greatly enhanced the results.
Other apples recorded negatives made
by scratching monograms, initials and
sketches in spoiled films with an etching
knife and attached In the same manner.
and provided with the same protection
for the remainder of the surface. The
richness of color and wealth of detail that
can be secured in this way is astonishing.
"A week was allowed for printing. The
fine, deep red of the picture upon the
delicate green of the ground must be seen
to be fully appreciated. Only nature
could give just the exact tones of the two
colors that would harmonic so perfectly.
The method for printing on tomatoes or
pumpkins is the same as for apples
