A recently published report by the

by cleavages in existing denomIna-
tions and by the creation of As new
ones.
In these two contrasting ccnsuses
some religious bodies appear under
different designations. Many have d
short popular name and different
official designation. For example, the
Shakers as they We're rated in 1890,
appear in the latest census as the

New York has given up its dream OF
owning the worlds greatest bridge.
SO~far IS Gotham is concerned, the
Hudson will never be bridged. That
is the verdict OF experts, and practic-
adv ends all plans in this direction.
A year agu. ii seemed certain that the
greatest bridge in the world would be
built there. 1t was expected to cost
S25 900 OO0 That it is abandoned, there
is only one reason. which is, that such
d feat is impossible At no place for
Hudson River less than $500 feet
wide. thus making one or two middle
supports necessary. And careful in
veStigation of the riVer-bed reveals
that bed rock cannot be reached on
which to rest such center support.
Behring'S through $50 feet of mud have
failed to reach bed rock. But there is
one consolation which Father Knicker-
booker may sip from the cup of his
disappointment and that is. that half
a dozen tunnels under the river can
be constructed for the sum which he
had planned to put into this enormous
| bridge.

arid regions of America can be rem

noint of view of the European agron-

Secretary Wilson has found that
certain hard wheats of Russia may
be grown to great advantage in tile
United States. Experiments have
proved SO satisfactory that field agents
of the department are constantly on

tables, in foreign lands, which might
thrive in this country. The depart

Stetson Defends Position.

To the Editor:
Recently | have noticed items in the
newspaper criticising the state
Grange Executive Committee for
adopting resolutions demanding the
election of IA farmer to the L. >. Sen
ate. These articles which were doubt
less written by member of the
Grange who has for years persistent
y tried to throw obstacles in the way
of progressive, constructive Grange
work, place the Grange as was no
doubt the intention in a false position.
The action of the Executive Commit
tee was undoubtedly justified by the
laws Of the organization and by our
declaration of purposes.
After all these years of Grange
work along public lines such as de-
natured alcohol. Interstate commerce,

1t Won't Bother Teddy.

At first blush, it would seem to be
a hardship. not only upon the colonel
himself but upon the Republicans of
New York who are depending largely
upon the endeavors OF the former
President to bring about the election
OF the party candidate. 1t would seem
also. that the Pullman car trust had

an act of spite against their old friend,

master-stroke OF incompetency on the
part of the spiters, for any such ar

former President at this time will but
add to the effectiveness of his cam

1t is no hardship for Col. Roosevelt
to travel as other people travel, and
the strongest necessity of a special
car for his service is that of making
the special time in covering "a number
of places and of serving as meeting
place for brief conferences with lead
ers in various sections of the state.
But to travel as other people travel

Mr.. Roosevelt were in luck in securing
this opposition and sudden indisposi-

4 justice of the New York supreme

had restrained. from spending any
money excepting for necessities. until
the Judgment was satisfied. Learning
that his debtor had expended twenty
