SAW INTO FUTURE
SAMUEL TILDENs PREDICTION
THAT HAS COME TRUE.
In 1877 the Statesman Declared That
a Crop Of s,ooo,ooo,ooo to 4,ooo,-
100000 Bushels Of Corn Would
Be Years Harvest.

About week after the return from
Europe of Samuel j. Tilden. in Septem-
Der, 1877, he delivered an address from
the steps of his house at Gramercy
Park, the Philadelphia Ledger says.
An impromptu, spontaneous gathering
OF many of those who had voted for
him for president the year before was
the occasion.
Governor Tilden did not refer to pol
itics. His theme was the opportunity
OF the United States for increasing its
foreign markets. He had discovered
In Europe, he said, that it would be
possible to make a great market for
Indian corn, provided the American
farmers would only cultivate thai
market He excepted Ireland, stating
that in Ireland it would be impossible
for many years, probably, to overcome
the prejudice against American corn,
because the people of Ireland attribute
the scourge of cholera in 1848 to the
use of cornmeal sent from the United
States to relieve those who were suf-
fering from famine Governor Tilden
said that he would not live to see the
day when the American farmers would
be found to have raised as many as
2,OOO,O0O,000 buslpls of corn, but he
thought that American farming should
be so developed in the course of a gen.
GRAFTON that from 5000, 100000 to A.
OOO,OOO.000 bushels Of corn would be
harvested IN single year.
Some of those who heard Governor
Tilden's impromptu speech were dis
appointed, because they hoped that he
would make politics his theme, alluding
to the disappointment Of his party that
1t had been unable to seat in the
White House the president the party
was convinced 1t had elected. Others
thought that the governor was talking
wildly, not having given due consid-
GRAFTON to what he was saying. But If
1t should prove to be the fact that the
American farmers this year have har-
vested 3,00O,00O,000 bushels of Indian
corn, then the prediction made by
Governor Tilden that this would be
done in generations time will have
ben almost exactly fulfilled.
In the offices of some of the railway
companies, particularly those in the
of Forty-second street, much |
is expressed over the
of the corn harvest So far
as the railroads are concerned, that
will go far to make good any falling
off In the harvest of wheat Prepara-
lions are now well under way for Sc
curing and placing at convenient
points all the cars that may be needed
or the transportation of the harvests,
particularly in corn. Some of the rail
way officers are confident that no mat
er how large the demand for transpor-
alton may be, 1t will be well met by
he railway managers, so that there
Vtll be no congestion of traffic

Wheeling W. Va, Nov. 25.-Some-
thing OF, the nature Of the defense
Counsel for Mrs. Laura Farnsworth
Schenk, accused of poisoning her mill
lionaire hueband, John O. Schenk, was
learned today. The defense will make
every possible effort to delay the case
until the sick man is we'll enough to
testify, believing he will testify in
his wife's behalf and do all in his
power to have Ter acquitted Of the
charge. It is said DR.. Gregory Acker
man, who first discovered symptoms
of poisoning in Schenk. will testify
there were no Indications of lead
poisoning and that his conditfon-might
have been brought about by inhaling
fumes of oxalic acid and ammonia
while at work in the packing house,
these being used in curing hams. ~
It is now contended that after all, Mr
Schenk's fate will rest with her bus-
band and that his testimony will de-
eide the case. The only evidence
against her, it is claimed, will be that
of the attending physician, DR.. Hup.
Another strong witness for the defense
will be Mrs. Lash,s Quakeress, neigh

time in attendance ON The sick man

University Head Beginning
at Early Age

Richmond, Nov. a6. -Regaroing the
report that he had been offered the
presidency of Princeton University &c
succeed Woodrow Wilson, now Cover
nor elect Of New Jersey DR.. George
H. Denny president of Washington and
Lee University stated here that he pre-
ferred to say nothing for publication
at this time. He did state, however,
that so far AZ he knew, no meeting Of
the Princeton trustees had been held
since Dr.. Wilson, q resignation had been
accepted, and that no formal action
could have BEEN taken regarding the
selection nf successor.
The publication Of the report was
the cause of much comment among
the educators gathered here, and Dr..
Denny was pesieged by numerous in
quiries. That the Warrington and Lee
head, who has had what might be re-
garded phenomenal success in enlarg-
ing the scope and attenaance OF the
Lexington institution, and who has
served with distinction on the Carne-
gle Foundation Board, of which Wood
row Wilson was also member, as we'll
as in various other important educa-
tion capacities, has been approached"
from authoritative sources, is founded
upon excellent authority. It seems
undoubtedly true that he is being con
adhered as Woodrow Wilson's success.
sor. On the other hand, DR.. Denny
remarked that he was happy in his
present position and glad to be where
he was.
President Denny is a Vifginian,
Hampden Sidney master Of arts,
University Of Virginia doctor of phil
osophy, and doctor of laws Of sever
al other institutions. When he became
