FOR R0B3ING The
CHARITY BOXES

Special TO The Mems
NEW ORLEANS, September 1S.-
William Pellisier, of 22734 Orleans
street, and Robert Ivey, of 3O16 st.
Claude street, boys in knee trousers,
were arrested this morning at Canal
and Rampant streets by Detective
Mike Coyle and Robert Stubs after a
several days search and drew con-
fession from them that they are tn
boys who robbed several of the charity
boxes from stores in Canal street dur
ing the past few days.
The young highwaymen first victim
lied the Williams Pharmacy, at Canal
and Bourbon streets. From that plac
they cut the strings of the charity
box and carried it off with its con
tents, So. The charity box in the drug
store of Katz & Besahoff, at 1872 Cana
street, was disengaged from the graf
ing near the cash register by the boys
with the aid of a knife. This box
contained 81. The boys confessed to

CHICKEN Thief

Body Found Warm in Weeds-Circum-

JACKSON, Miss, September 1S.-
The dead body of a strange negro, be-
side which lay a gunny sack contain
ing nine live chickens was found in
the weeds in a vacant lot yesterday
morning, near Mill and Cohea streets.
1t was thought the negro had been
shot by some person whose roosts had
been robbed but the coroner's inquest
disclosed no marks of violence, and
death had evidently resulted from
heart failure while hiding with the
stolen chickens, awaiting daylight, or
while getting away with the fowls.
The body was still warm when

Praises Wisner's Work.

"Mr. Edward Wisner has demonstra-
ted in the vicinity of Raceland that
swamp lands can be reclaimed and
converted into fields of SURPRISING
fertility He has pointed out that
similar lands lying close to the city
can be reclaimed with equal success
and made to yield an enormous and
cheap food supply, essential if New
Orleans is to realize her aspiration as
a great industrial city with a tenn
ing population.
ION my return from the West l re-
ferred particularly to the farming con.
ditions that had impressed me on my
journey and said our own idle lands
were so much richer than those which
the farmers of that section had
brought to a high state of cultivation,
that l believed we ought to devote
some of our energies to an effort to
induce these Woodworking western
farmers to come here and settle in
Louisiana where the natural richness
of the soil would so much lessen their
labors and SO greatly increase their
material returns"

The cigars were we'll made and gave

The Mayor said he was very much
interested in the success attending the
cultivation of tobacco in the neigh

industry would be encouraged and de.

THAT DUTY ON POTATOES

Some of the critics Of Senator
dupont who have thought of his
amendment to the tariff bill pro.
viding for an increase in the duty
on potatoes seem tohave a special
grudge against the farmers.
What matters it if the farmers are
helped by such a duty there are
others to be considered, they say,
others that count, and if Senator
duPont's amendment for pota-
toes goes through-which it will
will not the pocketbook Of the
housewife be looted. Then. there
appears an argument on the en-.
tire question Of a tariff, but that
point as it fits the present situa-
ton is not debatable. 1t certain
.ly should not be debatable from
a practical point of view since the
Democratic Senators topped into
the protectionist camp.
Senator dupont was simply do
ing something asked by repre-
sentatives of the farming inter.
ests of the State. He is attempt.
ing to help develop what may be.
come a large industry to our
fsrmers-the producing of pota.
toes. The fear that a large ex.
pense will be added to the house
wife's pocketbook is nonsense.
The farmers will be encouraged
to produce potatoes in greater
quantities, and if Delaware farm.
ers raise more potatoes it stands
to reason that the housewife
hereabout will really find pota.
toes more plentiful for home con-
sumption and the price not ad.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT

The government report for June from
the Department of Agriculture, on the
conditions of the crops, has been issued,
and is as usual the basis of comments,
criticisms and the like on the part of men
who deal in products Of the farm. While
the government reports play an important
part in the market, their figures and fore.
cast are not accepted always on their face
value. A striking example of this was
shown during the late Patten deal, when
Secretary Wilson and Pstten aired diverse
views as to the crop conditions. The
events that followed would seem TO have
given the advantage to Patten.
The June report gives the condition Of
winter wheat as 80.7, as compared with
SO on May 1st last. On this basis the
production is figured at 2s7, 400, 600 bush.
els. The first report on the spring wheat
was also made, the condition being given
as 95.2, and the acreage as 1891 900,
thus suggesting a yield Of 3OS, 7S4, 900
bushels. While the crop Of spring wheat
is not believed to be misstated, the figures
for winter wheat are generally regarded
as too low. Careful reading Of the trade
journals and letters from those who are
engaged in the trade fail TO show that
crop Of winter wheat deteriorated during
the month Of May. On the contrary the
general acceptation was that there had
been an improvement in the general
status Of the crop. Accepting these fig
ures as approximately correct, the tota
crop this season will be about 695, 600, 900
bushels.
Attempts to lessen the quantity OF
either spring or winter wheat likely to,
be produced, in the interest Of higher
prices, are unnecessary. 1t is recognized
that the supply Of winter wheat is at tie
lowest point reached in years; that eleva-
tors, mills and warehouses are empty and
that considerable quantity Of wheat will
be required to re-establish these stocks
along with the farmers reserves. Indeed
not few believe that accustomed as the
farmers are to high prices for wheat, corn,
pats and other products, and being in
position to hold their crops, there will
not be any wish to market wheat. Ger
iainly cheap wheat seems unlikely.
