No Danger of DETERIORATION.

Bolton Hall. in Practical Ideals
I 1t has been said that the time is not
far off when the United States will be
unable to support her inha bitants. But
those who think that have either for
gotten or have not reckoned with the
new intensive cultivation of the land.
The Island of Guernsey, in the south of
England. is from four to seven miles in
length, and about four miles in width.
1t has a resident population of Al 600, and
a visiting population of 10000 a year,
which il supports. About s4.50000O worth
of farm and garden stuff, a little
less than $500 worth to the acre. is pro-
duced annually. with only l1,623 acres
under cultivation. Now, if the whole
state of New York were cultivated and
populated as that Is cultivated and pop
ulated, it would yield annually $4,000
600, 900 worth of farm and garden pro-
duce. and support 233. 641. 473 people--that
is. about four times the population of
the entire United States. Wherein then
lies the danger of over-population? Only
in monopolizing and holding idle the
land; where there are unused lands there
are bound to be idle hands, for all that
we eat, use and wear comes from the
land by labor. "Over-population' and
''pauper labor" are not the works of ma
ture, and IL they should ever come. the
people themselves will be responsible.

almost a regimental auota-and yet the
participants probably take as much in
terest in it as do most of the soldier boys
who parade the streets to be admired by
sweethearts. friends or unattached spec
tators.
They are interested because it furnishes
relief from the monotony of their life
within confines through which they can
not break until tile unseen hand of the
law opens an easy way out: because
also it affords break in the old swing
together step which has been In use for
several years. The new step-several are
being tried-SeemS to5 leave the choice
open to either a single column or double
column, marching with the ordinary mill
t;try stride. With these the hands are al
lowed to remain at the sides and the
marchers are supposed to look to the
front and hold their heads erect as IL on
parade.
Since the famous lockstep was dropped
quarter of a century or more ago the
men have been accustomed to marcl,
each with his right hand resting on the
shoulder of the man in front of him and
with a peculiar swinging gait which made
the entire gang appear to move as a
many iointed whole. 1t has been claimed
that TINS gait. once well acquired, was
hard TO overcome, but there seems no real
ground for the assertion. The men, even
in walking about the prison yard alone
drop all traces of the Swinging-togetheT
gait. 1t was deemed best, however, to
experiment with a new and simpler
method to see if 1t would not furnish re-
lief and make The whole marching prob
lem much simpler for all.
With that end in view Warden Bridges
has had his staff of prison officers busily
engaged for several days in drilling the
men on their parades in and out of the
cellrooms. morning. noon and night, in
the single and double column formations.
AS yet it has not been decided which will
be adopted. although it is settled that
one of them will be used hereafter.
There are nine factories with numerous
''shops" within the Enclosure. and the
men have to be formed outside each and
marched into the prison proper. The
cells to which the different prisoners are
assigned have reference to the shops
wherein the men work and so the shop
gangs are kept pretty well intact Be-
gateways and receive their rations pass
ing in single file the double-column
formation presents difficulties. Then, too,
another source of trouble in rehearsins
the men is the fact that some gangs are
located so near their particular gatewayS
that the march from their shops is not
more than 80 to 100 feet, condition
less to put into effect any marching
order But il one gang marches in GER
tain fashion it is deemed desirable that
all should follow the same plan.

COUNTY NAMES.
Many in America Called in Honor

Letter to the New York Sun
In an article in the Sunday Sun few
weeks ago on county names in the United
States, the writer says that none of the
large number of "Scotch-Irish" settlers
is remembered in the names of the coun-
ties of the Tar Heel state. While I don't
know what "Scotch-Irishman" Is. I do
know from an examination of the records
that eight of the counties of North Caro-
lima are called after plain Irishmen, with

Garibaldi, a Soldier of Fortune.

There were many soldiers of fortune in
the Italian war for freedom, and Garibal-
di had been one himself, serving in the
French navy and in the army of the Re
public of Rio Grande"-the present Cru-
quay. Even after the height Of his fame
had been gained, he. with his sons, served
in the French army in the Tranco-Prus
sian war. In the wars of Servia and Bull
garia there were Austrians and many 9TH
err foreigners, while in Spain one has only
to study the names of present statesmen
10 see how many Irshmen have served
under the standard OF the most Catholic
king The wars in Africa were won by
ODonEell. who was born in SPAN, but
whose ancestry is we'll betrayed A war
rior named O'Higgins was famous in the
wars Of the Argentine. In China the lead
ers have been time and time again men of
western race. and it would be interesting
to know how many graduates of Annap-
oils have served in the Chinese navy. In
Morocco was only the other day that
Ka:d Mclean was at the height of his
power.
The way in Central America was paved
by William Walker, who has had count
less others following in his path But
there are many things which combine to
make the trade of the soldier of fortune
less picturesque than 1t formerly was.
Walkers efforts were defeated by the gold
OF steamship company; other soldiers of
fortune have as their motive a force no
less mercenary. But war today is much
more highly organized thing than 1t was
years ago. Before they fight nations are
apt to sum up carefully the force with
which they have to fight, and every step
| which is taken in organization means one
less place for the soldier of fortune and
his trade.

1t appears, however, on the land records
of the District that number of the Ham
bursh lots were disposed of by lottery. In
some records it is recited that ticket
had been purchased of Funk for five shil-
lings-two-thirds of a dollar-in return

other case, it is recited, G1J had been

1t seems that Funk conveyed what lots
that had not been disposed of to Benjamin
Stoddert and William Deakins, December
