SUGGESTIONS FROM FARMERS.
Census Director Durand Invites Prac-
tical Cooperation,


tical Cooperation.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 8, 1907
The farmers of the United States are
naturally very much interested in the
census of agriculture and farms that
will be taken April Is, 1910, as one of
the subjects to be covered by the thir.
teenth decennial census. Many are
showing their interest by writing to
the census bureau for the purpose of
making comments upon census infor-
nation regarding agriculture as pre-
sented in the past. The director of the
census welcomes all such suggestions
and gives them careful consideration, as
he is anxious to have the results of the
coming census correspond as nearly as
may be to the desires of the people
most interested.
In addition to studying carefully
these suggestions, the director has on
his own initiative requested certain
professors of economics and agriculture
of the more important universities of
the country, and other persons who
have specialized in agricultural mat.
tiers, to come to Washington for a short
time for the purpose of studying care
fully and critieising plans now under
way.
The department is also seeking to Sc
cure the advice and cooperation, as fan
as possible, of the officers and experts
of the department of agriculture, of the
state agricultural colleges, farmers so
cletles and like organizations.

KILLED IN B. & O. WRECK.
Officials Believe Express Robbery Was
Object of Train Derailment:

Newcastle, Pa, Sept. 6.-The wreck
of train No 5, the Royal Blue Limited,
on the B. & 0. railroad, which occurred
Saturday, is now believed to have been
caused for the purpose of robbing the
express car, which is known to have
contained a large sum of money ship
ped from New York to western banks.
Two miles from Newcastle, at little
place called Chewton, Pa, the best
train on the B. & o. road suddenly ran
into a misplaced rail. Wreckers had
removed two fshplates, moved the
north rail inside and had pulled out
the spikes.
The entire train was thrown from
the track. The great speed with which
it was travelling caused all the cars
and the engine of the train to topple
over on their sides and slip with force
over a small embankment.

POSTAL STRIKE

ers of the movement.
In the debate in the chamber, NJ.
Zembat and Will, socialists, defend
ed the position of the strikers, affirm
ing their right to organize as the
only way of redressing their griev-
ances and charging the government
with failure to keep its promiss at
the conclusion of the previous strike,
and especially in regard to the re-
tirement of M. Symyan, under Sec
rotary Of posts and telegraphs.
NJ. Deschanel, considered the sit
uation grave, He laid the respon-
sibility for the present situation
largely on "parliamentarism" which
he said was working in avacius circle
and he could see that the only rem
edy would be the Introduction of real
civil service, based on merit, to end
favoritism and the spoils system.
NJ Barthou, minister of public
works, the governments only spokes-
man, insisted that neither he nor
Premier Clemceau had promised
Secretary Simyan's dismissal.
A permanent strike and branch
committees were collected and dele
gates were dlSpatcneQ TO the prov
inces to pursue an active propangna
to make the strike complete. De-
spatches were received from many
cities, announcing sympathy and
support, not only of postal employees,
but of various trades unions. The
minors congress now in session at
Lens also pledges aid.
The president of the committee de-
clared that tomorrow. not letter
must leave Paris.
The general opinion tonight is
that the government, with the aid of
soldiers and cooperation of the
commercial bodies, will be able to
maintain crippled services. The main
danger is that violence may occur,
and tai at passions may be aroused by
the appearance on the scene of the
general federation of labor.

TO HONOR ANGEL OF HADLEY.

Massachusetts Town to Celebrate Dc.
livery From Indians by Judge Cote.
A New England tradition that the
100 Inhabitants Of Hadley, Mass, were
saved from an attack Of Indians in
1876 by the appearance Of William
COTE, one of the regicide judges who
sentenced King Charles l. Of England
to death, is revived and will be COM
memorated at the celebration Of the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of the town the coming summer.
Had not COTE forsaken the hiding
place which he had kept for years and
marshaled the disheartened colonists,
legend says, the town would have been
destroyed. The aged mans unexpect-
ed appearance, wearing robes Of IN
known fashion and a long white beard,
and his equally abrupt departure in
the moment of victory left among the
colonists the belief that heavenly
messenger had been dispatched to
them in the time Of need, and Judge
COTE is known today as the "angel Of
Hadley." 49,. ~. =, !.
With COTE in his exile at Hadley
was General Whalley, his father-in-
law, also one of the signers Of
Charles death warrant. These two
adherents of Cromwell found an asy-
lum in the house of the Rev. John Rus
sell at Hadley. Here they passed the
remainder of their lives, Whalley dy-
ing in 1875 and Cote about 1850. d

they travel about upon the snow and

fact that the porcupine seldom makes

his conviction l will repeat story Mr..
Lowell told me when he was minister
to England. 1t is the custom Of the
Royal Academy Of Painters to hold q
private view Of their pictures before

strikes me most forcibly here is the
lack Of Imagination" and he proceeded
to enlarge upon the power Of imagina.

force in the world. In responding to
a toast at the banquet which followed
the private exhibition he dwelt upon
the wealth Of imagination in evidence

Finaneier's Daughter Tells Of Restau-

With Miss ANNE Morgan, daughter

there doesn't really seem to be much
chance that a restaurant to be started
at the Brooklyn navy yard on May ]
can be anything Of failure.
The financier's daughter is going to
start it so the government employees
will be able to get something to eat
without going to saloons outside the
navy yard. Miss Morgan learned of
conditions at the navy yard when she
made visit year ago. 1t didn't
take the energetic young woman long
to get into communication with the
government authorities, and they re-
Gently told Miss Morgan that she
might go ahead and run an expert
mental restaurant.
The government will. turn over q
building formerly used as a machine
shop, and this will be speedily equip
ped to accommodate $50 men. Miss
Morgan will conduct the place as
chairman Of a committee of the wo-
mems department Of the National
Civic federation.
II don't want to claim all the credit
for this restaurant idea," said Miss
Morgan quite modestly. 1.-The whole
women's department of the Civic fed
Grafton is behind it. We want to
show the government what a great
advantage it will be to the navy yard
employees. If we make a success of
it we expect that the government will
take the restaurant OF our hands.
Not only that, but we expect that 9th.
er restaurants will be established in
other places where they will be of
use to government employees. We
shall serve meals at the very lowest
possible cost-just enough to cover
