KING IN QUEST OF A BRIDE
Portugal's Youthful Ruler Has Search
ed In Vain for Suitable Wife
to Share Throne.

Young King Manuel of Portugal is
looking for suitable bride, but none
of the manageable princesses Of Eu-
rope seems to be Over-anXiOus to share
his somewhat unstable throne. His
failure to secure a wife during hts re-
cent tour is source of great disap
pointment not only to Manuel himsel.
but to his advisers
Manuel is not wealthy as monarchs
60. His civil list is just $1,000 a day,
and it was hoped he would be able to
make a match with popular princess
possessing large means in her own
right. The father Of one princess was
strongly opposed to the alliance, not
that he disliked the young Portuguese
king, but because of the unsettled state
of the country.
Since the assassination OF the late
King Carlos and his eldest son, the
condition of Portugal has not i'm
proved. and there are fears that be-
fore very long serious trouble will
break out. A well-known Portuguese
politician, in a letter to a prominent
Engkshman, says that the people are
intensely dissatisfied with the existing
regime and the growing influence Of
the old clericalism at court, and II re-
forms are not quickly initiated and the
members of the old camarilla dismissed
a revolution may break out at any mo-
inert
There Is. of course, the alternative
of Manuei's abdicatlon and the success
sion of his uncle, the Infante Alfonso,
duke of Oporto, man of forty'fve.

tons Of Any Kind.

London, Eng.-Dr. Hawley H. Grip
pen, the American dentist, and his

turned to London Saturday from
Canada, where they were apprehend
ed by the police on suspicion of being
connected with the disappearance of
Dr. Crippen's actress wife, Belle Ell
more, and with having knowledge Of
the mutilated body, believed by the
police to be that of Mrs. Crippen,
which was found in his Hill Drop
Crescent residence
1t has been just seven weeks since
Dr.. Crippen and his companion, dis
gulsed III boy clothes, secretly left
London. Following their disappear
ance the Scotland Yard officials be-
gan search for the suspect in every
part of Europe, and had watch placed
on the principal ports on the Atlant-
ic side of the Western hemisphere
1t remained to wireless telegraphy,
however, to locate the dentist and his
typist, that agency being utilized by
Captain Kendall Of the steamer Mont
rose, to notify the London authorities
that the pair was on his vessel, then
in midOcean.
The Crippen party, composed Of the
two prisoners, Chief Inspector Dew
and Sergeant Mitchell, of Scotland
Yard, and the two wardresses who
had in charge Miss lie Neve, arrived at
Euston station Saturday morning from
Liverpool where they disembarked a
few hours earlier from the steamer
Meganic. Three taxicabs were wait

mediately was driven to the police
station, where the accused man and
woman were formally charged with
the crime and then placed in cells.
An immense crowd which had gath
cred at Euston Kissed and bOoed the
pair when they emerged from the sta
ton, but the police prevented further

II the chance occurs sell themselves 70
that corporation against the interests
Of the public. Their corruption is no
more due to the action Of the cornora

duty IS to war with eQual sternness
against the corrupt man Of great
wealth and the small man who makes
a trade of corruption; our fight Is
against both the swindling corporation
ana the Matchmaking or bribe- taking
politician.
We cannot afford to limit campaign

pen to have certain social status, We

special privilege In all its forms: do

corporation to control legislation in its
interests and to interfere in politics in
order to secure privileges to which It
Is not entitled. But I regard the essen
ton factor In this campaign as being
an aroused civic conscience which will
unsparingly condemn dishonesty IN
every form, and in every man, high or
low. The reckless. would-be reformer,
who, in speaking or writing, seeks to

II they both do justice to them and
rigidly exact it from them. Unless
they do justice to rich men, they put
premium upon injustice and dishon

them to the strictest accountability
for any wrong-doing; but let US in
sist upon honesty in our own ranks. no
less than theirs; let us war on crook
edness Of every kind in the man Of
small means as we'll as the man Of
large means. Let US Judge each man
by his conduct. and not by his social

Fully $500 acres of this article will

number of cars of cabbages the COM

last wear was very successful and
brought big returns to the farmers.
The cotton crop is about half gather

CORN HEADS The LIST
THE VALUE OF 1909 YIELD GIVEN
AT S1,720,OO0,0Oo.
COTTON HAS SECOND PLACE
Wheat Ranks Third in List, Hay
Fourth and Oats Fitth-Larqe
Potato Yield.

Washington.-"It has paid off mort
cages, it has established banks, it
has made better homes, it has helped
to make the farmer a citizen of the
world, 1t has provided him with the
means for improving his soil and
making it more productive" In the
statement that follows concerning
the crop quantities and values for
1909 no figures should be accepted
as anticipating the final estimates OF
this department, to be made later.
Only approximates can be adopted,
such as could be made by any COM
petent person outside of this depart
ment. The most striking fact in the
worlds agriculture is the value OF
the corn crop of 1909 in the country
1t is about $1,72O,Oo0,OOO.
This corn came from the soil and
out of the air in 100 days-Sl4,000,.
600 for one crop, nearly enough for
two Dreadnoughts, daily for peace or
war.
The value OF this corn crop is the
highest on record. In quantity of pro-
duction this years crop stands sec
ond with 2,767,000,000 bushels.
Cotton is now by far the second
crop in value, and this years crop
is easily the most valuable one to the
farmer that has been produced. With
cotton lint selling at 1899 at the
farm Nov. l and cotton seed selling
for about $25 per ton, the lint and
seed Of this crop are worth about
$S50,000,O00 to the farmer.
There have been three cotton
crops of more than 13,500,000 bales
of 500 pounds gross weight, the first
one being in 1904, and commercial
expectations are that the crop of this
year will be below the figure of the
five years preceding
Third in order of value among the
crops is wheat, worth about $T25,00O,,
600 at the farm, and this exceeds all
previous values by large amount.
In 1901 and in 1906 slightly larger
crops of wheat were produced, SO
that the yield this year, 725,000,O0
bushels. is third in size.
For years hay and wheat disputed
with each other the honor of the place
next after cotton in value, but this
year the separation is distinct, and
hay, with its value of about $665.000,-
600, is considerably below wheat and
far below cotton.
THE quantity of the hay crop is
100000 tons.
"The fifth crop in order of value Is
oats, worth this year at the farm
about $4OO,O0O,OO0, which is consider.
ably above high water mark. In pro-
duction this crop is very nearly lea
der with its 9S4,O0OOOO bushels, and
would have been a leader had not the
crop of 1902 been about 100000
bushels larger.
This years crop of potatoes Is
more valuable than any one before
produced and Is worth about S212,.
100000. The large production is
what makes the crop so valuable a
production, that has not been equal
edit is 367,0OO,000 bushels"

Frequent Changes Of Name.

The political rechristening of streets
In Paris is outdone by the case Of the
Island of Reunion, which changed its
name four times in just over half a
century. In 1893 it was Bourbon, as
1t had been for a century and a half,
but the convention then changed 1t
to Reunion. Under the empire it be-
came lie Bonaparte, at the restora-
ton it reverted to Bourbon, and final
ly. in 1848, it became Reunion once
more. So the septuagenarian island
ers of this last year could recall an
UNPARALLELED series of compulsory
changes. They must have thought
themselves lucky few years later
when the second empire refrained
from Bonapartizing this island again.
