on the point of striking the first chord
of the wedding march.
Just at that moment a curious COM
motion seemed to arise about the open
door of the vestry; several persons ran
out together; there was a confused
sound Of voices; q little crowd that
seemed to be blocking the way; whilst
in the midst Of them was suddenly
seen the dark head Of the bride in its
coronct OF orange blossoms.
Surely something was wrong! A
questioning murmur went through the
crowd. A few left their seats; the
country doctor. who happened to be
present, stood up in his place.
Then, all at once, Agatha burst from
the restraining hands that were trying
to get her back, and to the astonish-
ment and dismay of everyone came
running quickly down the nave-alone!
She seemed distracted; her face was
white as death, her eyes wild and pan
ic-stricken: her lace veil, flung back
from her head, floated wildly behind
her. No one could stop her; till, half
way down the church, her flying feet
becoming entangled in her long satin
draperies. she fell heavily forward,
with outstretched arms, without max
ing an effort to save hemself. and lay
face downwards upon the tessellated
pavement.

Big Aeroplnne Company.

A corporation to be known as the
Wright Company, with Wilbur and
Orville Wright as its head officers and
$1,00O,000 capital, has been formed I'M
der the laws of New York State for
the purpose of building and selling
aeroplanes to the public. In it are
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Theodore p.
Shonts, Allan Ryan, Morton f. Plant,
Howard Gould, August Belmont, Rob-
ert J. Collier and a number of other
wealthy New Workers. The stock of
this company is not to be offered to
the general public. 1t is expected that
orders for these flying machines placed
now will be filed in about six months.
A factory is to be erected at Dayton,
Ohio. The price will probably be ST.
500 each. The company will control
the Wright patents only in this coun-
try and Canada. An experimental
field is to be opened in Florida for the
use of prospective owners of the

VAST RICHES IN EGGS;
ADVICE FOR FARMERS
Agricultural Bulletin Tells Poultry
Men How They May In
crease Profits.
NEED CARE IN KEEPING HENS
Heavy Losses in Spoiled Product
May Be Averted by Following
Certain Rules.

In his report last year Secretary
Wilson asserted that the eggs and
poultry produced upon the farms of
the United States are worth as much
as the wheat and the cotton crops, and
that the income from the henhouses of
the land was one of the four or five
most important sources of the wealth
of the nation. This surprising state
ment is confirmed by a circular which
has recently been issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture, entitled The
Egg Trade of the United States. by
Milo NJ. Hastings, scientific assistant
animal husbandry Office
The loss of wealth in this country
due to the actual spelling of eggs"
Mr.. Hastings asserts, constitutes an
enormous waste which could in a
large measure be saved were eggs
given reasonable care from the time
of laying until they reached the GUS
TONER
This is due, he says, to two main
reasons: 1. Lack of realization of
the Importance of the egg crop, and
CD ignorance of the correct methods
of caring for them. Under our present
system the individual farmer and the
individual storekeeper have no induce
ments for exercising greater care The
storekeeper who receives eggs in ex-
change for merchandise reckons his
profits on the goods rather than on
the eggs, and knows that he can dis
pose of the eggs at the market price
whether they are good or bad
The remedy is to be found in COOP
Grafton. The farmers should organize
to control the egg market and to COM
pei buyers to establish agencies where
eggs can be sold at prices regulated
according to their quality. At present
the best eggs are in demand at pre-
miums ranging from l or 2 cents to
double the ordinary market price. In
the large cities soda fountains, clubs,
high-class hotels and many private
families will pay as high as 70 cents
al uOZeH lOT the DtSl QUA the
farmer who has shipped them derives
no advantage and the profit goes en-
tirely to the retailer. Under the pres
ent system all grades-good, bad and
indifferent-bring the same price at
the country stores, and therefore there
is practically a premium upon care
lessness.
| Mr.. Hastings gives us an idea of the
items that make up The cost of a doz-
en- eggs. Assuming that they sell for
% cents in a New York grocery, the
money is divided as follows: The
farmer gets 10 cents; the country mer-
chant three-fourtbs of 1 cent; freight,
IL cents; profit of commission mer-
chant, y cent; profit to jobber IL
cents; loss from spelling and break
age, 2 cents; profit of retailer, cents

RAILROADING IN KANSAS.
A Game of Chance at Times Under

spent within her borders.
1T is a game of chance sometimes,
to get from place to place and it isn't
all due to the fact that the farther
you get away from the East the more
railroad schedules go awry. They
have a law in Kansas that no railroad
employee shall work more than sixteen
hours on a stretch and it's that law
which plays the dickens.
"A few superb trains pass through
Kansas-that's what they do, pass
through. scarcely stopping long
enough to say howdy. They are going
to the coast or returning. and once in
a while | can make a trip from one
big town to another in true Eastern
style, but for the short local trips that
my business demands it's mixed
freight and passenger trains most Of
the time.
And here's where the law to pro-
tect employees works like wheel of
fortune. The schedule may call for
arrival at particular place in ample
time for the crews to be changed le-
gally, but if a lot of freight is to be
handled at preceding stopping places
the delay may be so great that the
sixteen-hour limit may expire miles
and miles short of destination.
And if this limit does not expire
there's nothing for it but to run the
train to the next place that resembles
a stop, If it's only a siding, and lay
It off, The next train that comes
along doubles up with the stalled
train and takes the law-protected
trainmen along as passengers.
They mustn't work, mind you. IN

sionally there is no next train for
more than eight hours. In that case

may resume work.
This is gospel truth I'm telling
you. for have been held up in these
stalled trains many time.
"One night / was going up the Lin
coin branch of the Union Pacific, hop
ing to reach Marysville late that
night The train had only one pas
senger car. There was a lot of way
freight and we kept losing and losing
time.
THE sixteen-hour limit of work for
that crew came at midnight when we
were about twelve miles out of Marys-
vile. We were near a siding and into
this we ran, prepared to wait for an
other train or for the eight hours to
expire
There wasn't a sign Of a house
anywhere, so the passengers, only six
men. then spent the night as best they
could in the car. The trainmen had
the more comfortable caboose.
There we stuck until daylight. No
next train had come then, so the six OF
us trudged along until we found a
farmhouse. We got the farmer to
drive us into Marysville and beat the
train in at that"

Many Millions Invested.

are being used more and more for edu-

the general farms in the Mississippi
valley. The value of poultry and eggs
sold in Kansas in 1903 was $6,49S,S56
and this total increased at the rate OF
a million dollars a year until 1907,
when it reached the enormous sum Of
S1O,300,0S2 for that State alone.
The largest number of eggs are
traded for merchandise at country
stores, and pass through the commits
sion houses in the cities to retail deal
ers. Regular poultry farms, which are
numerous in the East, but are almost
unknown in the West, ship their prod
uct direct TO fancy grocery dealers,
hotels or clubs under contract. Many
big hotels either have their own sup
ply farms or else make permanent ar
rangements with poultry farms for a
regular supply of eggs, broilers and
roasting chickens, ducks and geese
which are received daily. They pay
fancy prices and get the best quality
of eggs within twenty-four or forty
eight hours after they are laid. Mr.
Hastings suggests the establishment Of
cash markets at the larger towns like
the markets for cream and butter fat
where the farmers will be independent
of the country merchants. where they
will come in contact with men who
will educate them in the production
of high-grade eggs, and offer induce
ments to improve his product and
bring it promptly to market, because
the freshest eggs will command the
highest prices.
Mr.. Hastings gives several sugges-
tions for the production of good eggs
and for marketing them in good condi-
ton, as follows:

goodly number of eggs, but eggs of

F0UR-BiTS DAMAGE
AROUSED THE BURG

Fifty cents worth of damage to the
roof of a disconnected kitchen at the
dwelling of a Portuguese on Pauoa
lane yesterday, at one O'Clock, aroused
the town when the fire alarm was
turned in. The machines from the
headquarters went to the fire, and the
machines from Palama and Makiki
came into town. The police patrol
wagon made a hurried run to the
scene, and reporters ran their legs off
trying to catch the patrol wagon to
get a quick ride.
Downtown insurance men, real estate
men, trusts which looked after the res
licences of clients, business men, clerks.
and, in fact, almost everybody, took
an interest in the alarm of fire. In
surance men hurriedly called for autos
and told them to hurry-breaking the
speed limit was of no consequence
under the circumstances. Hacks did a
rushing business. In fact, all business
seemed to head towards the fire.
And when everybody got there it
turned out to be a blaze on a couple
of dry shingles, necessitating perhaps
three or four new ones to make every
thing watertight.
