of the department of agriculture. Mr..
Patten not only discredited the de-
partments estimate of the wheat crop,
but said that the supply of wheat was
scarcer than the governments esti-
mates showed.
"The reporters OF the department
Of agriculture are farmers living on
and have knowledge, if anybody has
knowledge, of the faces" declared the
secretary.
The large majority of wheat has
left the hands of the farmers" con-
tinued the secretary. "A fictitious
price has been created. The farmers
are not benefieiaries of such condi-
tions They will naturally plant more
wheat and next years crop is likely
to be abnormally large, when the gam
blers will not be in the market and
mischief will be done by the disturb
ance of the crop system.
I'm the corner of 1898, when the
price of wheat was run up to s1.S5,
tn, price was depressed the following
year below so cents, the result, un
doubtedly, OF the upsetting of the
equilibrium of normsi supply and de-
mand"
To show that a scarcity of wheat In
this country is not the cause of the
present abnormal increase in the
prices Secretary Wilson points out
that the amount of wheat produced in
the calendar year 1908 was 665 900,
900 bushels, as compared with 4,000,
600 bushels for the crop year 1907,
making 31,000,000 bushels more for
the last crop year than was found the
year previous.

was an answering Democrat, having an
abiding faith in the traditions of his

The Whiteleys came to America in the

They attained great professional distinc-

very prominent in Colonial affairs and
we're also conspicuous in the Revolution.
DR.. Albert Whiteley was a man OF
broad culture, large benevolence and
great tenderness of heart. He was very

afflicted. No day was ever too cold or

TO his carriage and brought large pack

for nourshing and strengthening the
sick woman. The motive for this act
was purely the prompting Of a benevo-
lent soul, for be knew full well that he
never could receive any pay even for his
professional services.
In 1857 he was appointed Aid to Gov
ernor Biggs with rank of Colonel, and
as one of his staff, accompanied the
Governor TO New York City for the cele-
bration Of the one hundredth anniversary
Of the Inauguration Of Washington as
first President, April 8Oth, 1889
Much to the regret OF his many friends
he removed from Frederica to CantoRs-
vile, Md, a suburb of Baltimore, in
1895 There he gained a large practice
and made many friends. He was an ac-
tive member Of several medical organiza-
tions and was warm supporter Of every
measure calculated to elevate his pro-
fession. He was a strict member Of the
Order of Free and Accepted Masons, and
a eonsistant member and honored elder
of the Presbyterian Church. He died
September 26th, 1908, after a lingering
illness Of several weeks, but little past the
meredian of life.
The Baltimore County Medical Organ
ization paid the following beautiful sem
timent to his memory:
Resolved, That we hereby record our
devotion to his memory, as man Of
charming social qualities, true to his
friends, and possessing bright intellect.
He was a close student of nature, but
above all his life as a gentleman and his
example as a christian will ever be cher

DIR. BENJAMIN WHITLEY,
Only son Of Dr. Albert and Elizabeth
A. (Townsend) Whiteley, was born in
Frederica September 18th, 1874 Coming
from long line of ancestors, prominent
in the medical profession, he may be
considered a born physician. Benjamin
Whiteley in childhood and youth was
not only the joy of his parents but was a
general favorite with every one in his
native village. His scholastic training
was received at tie schools of FredeTica
and at college. He read medicine under
the instruction OF his father and gradua-
ted at an early age from Jefferson Medi-
cal College, Philadelphia. For many
years he practiced with his father and
continued with him up to the time of
his fathers death, when he assumed the
entire practice. He amply filled the
niche made vacant by the death Of his
illustrious sire. He possessed a deep,
bright and clear intellect; his mind was
philosophical, penetrating and active,
which caused him to diagnose diseases
quickly and correctly. He was not only
well booked up in medical science, bat
he was well read in almost every de-
partment of literature. He was an in
veterate reader and having a retentive
memory be profited by what he read. In
history, biography, and general litera-
ture, he was a profound scholar. He
inherited many of the characteristics of
his father; he was amiable, he was gen
erous, he was kind, and by his general
readily ingratiated himself in
the affections of the people. As an ex-
ample of the goodness OF heart of Dr.
Benjamin Whiteey, and showing the
sympathetic nature of the soul within
him, the writer cannot refrain from men

tice. On this occasion the writer was
