would have. With a materially In
creased appropriation, secured at
the last session OF Congress, exper-
iments are to be made with full
sized projectiles, at actual war dis
tances, and at actual tlicknesses OF
armor plate. For instance, a tar
get covered with twelve inch plate
will be subjected to the fire OF a
twelve-inch gun, at distances OF
three, four or five milts, which will
closely approximate actual battle
conditions and serve to prove the
accuracy, or the reverse, OF the
mathematical calculat ons which
heretofore have been the sole gu de
of the ordnance experts. Expert
ments will be made, also, to deter
mine the actual explosive force OF
twelve-inch shells against given
thicknesses of armor plate.

Judge Clothes Jury.

Realizing that it was very un-
comfortable for jurors to sit during
a trial in a hot. sultry Court room,
Judge Harris, in the criminal ses-
sion of the Superior Court sitting
in Boston on Tuesday ordered IL
alpaca coats for the jury. His
Honor wore a thin, light weight
coat and felt none too comfortable,
though an electric fan was perched
on the bench. Now and then he
turned to the jury and saw its
members mopping their brows with
handkerchiefs and nervously
twitching in their seats while the
evidence was being put in. The
Judge called Court Officer Paine to
the bench and told him to get IL
alpaca coats for the members of
the panel. His Honor paid for the
coats.
AS the jurors arrived after the
recess they were taken into room
and given a light coat to put on in
place of their own coats and waist
coats. All the jurors appreciated
the kindness and consideration Of
the Judge and when Court came in
after o'clock, the jurors were
sitting in the jury box each wear
ing his new coat and smile.

Shippers May Use Paper Gases.

shipping interests appeared before
the meeting of the Southern Class

land, the principal speaker, quoted
figures to show that shippers with

out means of packing their goods
unless some new method similar to
that proposed is adopted. Permis-
sion to use the paper boxes which
are made from old newspapers and
such other waste products as can
be turned into pulp has been
granted and the present meeting
will specify the exact weight and
other details necessary to protect
shippers against loss.

Crops Menaced by Lack of Rain.
Secretary Of Agriculture Issues Warning to
Farmers.

Deputy Secretary of Agriculture
A. L. Martin has uttered a serious
warning to farmers on account of
the drought conditions which are
prevalent all over the State to a
greater or less extent.
This has been fine harvest
weather recently" said Mr.. Mar
tin, but it has been correspond
ingly bad for crops not yet ready
for the harvest.
Corn and potatoes are at pres.
ent in the greatest danger from
lack of rain. want to give this
warning to the farmers: Cultivate
your crops in time of drought. No
matter how busy you are with the
harvest run your cultivator through
your corn and potatoes and keep
it up.
SYSTEMATIC CULTIVATION.
Mr.. Martin explained that this
systematic cultivation is the only
safeguard against drouth which is
available to the farmer who lacks
an irrigation which a /
Pennsylvania farmers do lack.
Continued breaking up of the hard
crust on top of the ground tends to
draw moisture from below and
spreads it among the roots.
In some sections Of the State,
says Mr.. Martin, who spent last
week on the northern tier, the
Drought which has prevailed here
for the past fortnight has lasted for
six weeks. This is especially true
of counties in the valley of the
North branch OF the Susquehanna
river.
The wheat crop has been har.
vested in good shape and is an av-
erage crop all over the Common
wealth. Hay is not so good in
yield, but the quality is excellent,
ton of this years timothy being
worth half as much again as in a
rainy year.
RECEIVED COMPLAINTS.
Complaints have been received
from some sections that paris green
is sold this year at much higher
prices than formerly, but that the
stuff is so adulterared that it doesn' t
poison potato bugs.
eff that is true," said Mr.. Mar
tin, "let the farmers who have
been swindled send the department
of agriculture samples of the adul.
terated poison. We have our
chemist for just such work and if
the adulteration is proved fine or
Imprisonment for the guilty manu-
facturer or merchant will follow.
In sending such samples the farm
er should be careful to keep an ac-
curate record of the brand and the
place and time at which it was pur-
chased"

New Pennsylvania Law.

Pennsylvania has recently placed
herself in line with other states in
the matter of progressive legisla-
ton affecting the horse. An act
went into effect May 6, making it
unlawful to offer for sale or to sell
diseased, lame, or worn out horses.
Provisions are made for its enforce
ments by policemen, constables, or
agents Of any anti-cruelty society
incorporated in the state. This
law was secured by the united eff.
forts of the societies in Pennsylva-
nia, working through the Federat-
ed Humane societies of which
Thomas S. Carlisle is secretary.

ton under the new law was made

Friends Say.

William J. Bryan is contemplate
ing another foreign lecture tour.
He will leave America in a short
time, his intimate friends say, to
spend three years abroad. He told
newspaper men that carefully
planned trip through Australia and
England is now being arranged for
rim, and he was enthusiastic in
,mmenting upon the field for his
. trres which exists in those two
untries. He is getting all his af-
irs in readiness for this tour, and
'-ople close to Mr.. Bryan say that

will include all the large cities OF
Australia and he will spend almost
two years in that country and the
other English-speaking islands OF
the Pacific. Then he will go to
England and tour the whole of
Great Britain.
Several of his lectures are now
being translated into French and
German, to enable the Nebraska

Pennsylvania Prosperous.

Pennsylvania is in the position
of being practically out of debt,
the only State in the Union so sit
uated. This was demonstrated at
the meeting of the Sinking Fund
Commission Tuesday, when it was
shown that the net debt of the
State is s. 1854, Ola and to pay this
there was in the sinking fund $2,-
600, 37e, the net State debt being
figured at $IS,237.
In the next few months there
will be due the sinking fund $26,-
4S6, and that wipes out the State
debt.

MEN JUMPED; WOMEN
MET DEATH AND INJURY

A verdict of accidental death was
rendered by the eoroner's jury i'm
paneled to consider the Koolau rail
road accident of last Saturday, in the
case of Mrs. Sylvester, who was killed
on that occasion. From the testimony
it seems that people from Kahana were
en- route to Laie to attend dance.
Another party started from Kahuku to
make visit near Hauula. Both par
ties started about the same time from
each end of the line, each party on a
handear.
The Kahuku car carried light and
when the persons on the Kahana car
saw it coming the men jumped off let
ting the car run away down grade. The
women sitting on the ear were caught,
Mrs. Sylvester being killed and a. part
Hawaiian woman receiving broken
leg. Other women were cut and
bruised.
The people on the Kahnku ear did all
they could for the injured and sent a
car to Kahuku for the plantation doc
tor who returned on the plantation
company engine.

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS

which will be opposed by army officers.
in these dispatches, has to do with the
formation of general supply depart
ment, composed of the present pay,
quartermaster and subsistence depart
ments, which will constitute divisions
under brigadier generals of the general
supply department, which is to be in
charge of a major general.
A part of the plan is to transfer
from the quartermaster S department
to the subsistence department the item
of clothing. This is an important duty
Of army quartermasters at present, and
they are not likely to view without
opposition such subtraction from their
Importance. In fact, the quartermaster
general of the army has fled pro-
test agaist any change of the sort.
He is in favor of maintaining the in
dependence and integrity of the or
ganization and duties of his depart
ment.
The idea is also opposed by the pay
master general of the army, although
in less emphatic terms. The PROPOSE
ton is to have the pay department dis
burse all money for public works and
on contracts for supplies, as well as
paying officers and troops. While this
would increase the Importance of the
pay department, 1t would also involve
that branch in many difficultis and
there are those who insist it would
be impossible TO carry out the scheme
without an increase of liability on the
part of the disbursing officers and at
great Inconvenience to those who are
to be paid for contracts performed
The eommissary general of the army
is in favor of the consolidation and
has made a report TO that effect, add
ing that it would be well TO. transfer
to the proposed general supply depart
ment the purchasing branches of the
medical department and the ordnance
department, which suggestion is
viewed with disapproyal by the sur
geon general and the chief of ordnance,
who are able to point out the disad-
vantages to their own branches of such
a change.
