Chicago.-More rigid laws and the
growth of public sentiment for a
sane celebration Of the Fourth have
had their result all over the country
in reducing the number of killed and
wounded on the annual holiday.
Full returns of the two-day cele-
bration from all over the country
this year show a falling off in the
number of killed Of t%wenty-four from
the record of 1908.
ported at midnight, as against fifty
six at the close of independence Day
last year.
Chicago and it's suburbs gave
strong evidence of the progress
which has been made in stopping the
slaughter in the path of the rejoic-
ing over the Nations freedom. The
staggering statistics of twelve dead
and ia injured a year ago were
reyolutionized. Not a single death
had been reported in this city at mid
night, and the total number of in
jured was less than thirty.
OF the accidents which were placed
on the police records only a half
dozen were serious, and it was esti-
mated the fatalities would not by any
chance be more than two.
1t was the quietest and sanest
Fourth Chicago has had since the
city was a village and the din of pre-
Vious years was almost totally
squelched by police regulations and
the awakening of public sentiment.
Cleveland, Ohio, probably made
the best record of any city of its size
in the country in the fight against the
noise and perils of the day. While
there We're ten persons killed and
sixty-two injured during the one-day
celebration in 1908, the two-day fes-
t1vity in 1909 was passed without a
single death or injury serious enough
to require the attention of a phys
1cian. This was due to the fact that
the firing, and even the sale of fire.
works or crackers, was forbidden
within the city limits.
Milwaukee, another leader in the
same Fourth movement, reported
only twenty-five persons injured dur.
ing the two days this year, as against
n killed and s~ixty-seven injured in
1908.
Washington, D. c., escaped this
year without an accident, where forty.

THREE NATIONS At 10LDTr
Private Property, No Shooting
Allowed" Inspires Speakers.
President Taft and the British and
French Ambassadors Talk Peace
Where Once Was Fierce Strife.

Bluff Point, N. - On the field
about Fort Ticonderoga, where bloody
battles, and a lot of them, in different
wars, were fought, President Taft.
Ambassador Jusserand and Ambassa-
dor Bryce talked peace. Az the Presi-
dent reached the entrance to the park
he read a sign, Private Property, No
Shooting Allowed" That proved to
be the inspiration of the speeches Of
the day.
Ambassador Jusserand, of France,
the first speaker, spoke briefly Of
Champlain, who discovered the lake,
the discovery of which was being cele-
brated, then went into a lengthy Ell.
logy of Montcalm, the hero of Que
bee. He put special stress ON the
scholarly qualities of the General. He
ended his speech with the statement
that while the 100 years wal between
England and France had become a
common saying, it would soon be
possible to celebrate the fact that
there had been 100 years of peace be-
tween the countries.
Ambassador Bryce sounded the
peace note in his first sentence. He
said that "a spot so beautiful the Gre.
ator surely had meant for something
else than fighting" Then the Am
bassador took up the cudgels for Cen
eral Wolfe, the opponent of General
Montcalm at Quebec. He showed
that Wolfe, the Englishman, too, was
OF a literary bent, repeating the story
of Wolfe reciting Gray's "Elegy" as
he went up the St. Lawrence River
the night before his last battle. In
finishing his speech Ambassador
Bryce asked what future generations
would say of these famous battle
grounds, and answered himself:
They will say that we admire the
men who fought as heroes, their valor
and their seif-sacrifce, but-don't do
1t again"
The President made his big hit
with the crowd with this passage
from his speech:
For sixteen years it was my good
fortune to go to Murray Bay in Can
ada for the summer. There is now a
limitation upon the Presidential office
that prevents it. While there I
learned some things, and one was
that while the Murray Highlanders
OShSA ANAC VI GaSldAo COu-
quered on the Plains of Abraham,
quite a number of these soldiers went
down the st. Lawrence and were in
duced to settle on the French seen
cries which lie some eighty miles be-
low Quebec. There were Blackburns
and Warrens and MacNeils and Fra
Tiers and Nairns, and all the Scotch
names that bring back the memory of
the Murray Highlander.
"And what did they do? They had
the good EMS to marry French
women.
And what happened?
That country is full of Blackburns
and Fraziers and MacNeils and War
-rens and Nairns, and they don't any
Of them speak a word of English.
There are other ways of conquer
ing a people than merely by guns"
The President closed with a fer
vent hope that the valley never again
would be the scene of fighting.

Each Hen Yields S2.52.

At the Macdonald College, Quebec,
Canada, each hen of the farm flock
yielded a clear profit of $2.52. A
woman poultry keeper near the farm
cleared from a flock of forty White
Wyandottes $500 last year, a result
of good management and good stock.
A farm of $50 acres should carry 100
hens, which, rightly managed, will
net a profit of $500. Poultry sells
here at about fifteen cents a pound

dozen. The most favorable condi.

quakes which equaled in severity the
shocks on last December 2S. which
wiped out a score of cities and towns
in Calabria and Sicily and killed 200..
900 persons.
There was little loss of life this
lme by reason of the fact that there
were no walls to collapse and bury
whole families in the ruins. Six
months, however, had given rs, 900
persons confidence to return here in
the hope of rebuilding the city. and
these fed to the hills, terror stricken

second visitation Messina will be

increase of 120 per cent. in valuation

the improvement of the breeds and
the higher prices OF meat products.

sines now in use are not adapted to
alcohol; and, second, because of its
