COST OF a ROYAL PROGRESS.

Although King George has travelled
more extensively than any other royal
Iersonage. his bills have not run into
a very large amount Thus. the Ophir
trip TO Australia was estimated at
100000 pounds, which is not a large
sum, taking everything into consider
nuon-the charterIng of special
steamer for so long time, the eX-
penses of naval escort and travelling
charges. His little jaunt to Canada
Il year or two ago was done for the
modest figure of 1000 pounds, but
the tour In India In 1905 cost a large
sum, although the exact total has new.
er been published. as n good deal of
the expenditure came out OF the royal
purse. Parliament voted 10000 pounds,
while the cost of altering the Re
nown was borne by the naval cSti-
mates, and most OF the ceremonial
charges by India. The total probably
came TO about 100000 pounds.
This was not so much as that in
currel by King Edwards visit TO In.
dla as Prince of Wales in 1916. This
tour was arranged by Sir Bartle
Trere, who was keut busy for seven
Iconths making all the arrangement Is.
Parliament voted $4,000 pounds for
tGe general expenses. which Sir Bar
tie said was quite inadequate. as the
presents to native princes amounted
10 nearly that sum, and he asked for
100000 pounds. This was not forth
coming. so he made the best OF mat
ters by going to Lord Northbrook the
ylceroy who induced the Indian treas
ury TO grant another 10000 pounds 10
the presents fund
People In England thought that the
10000 pounds. together with the 52.-
coo pounds which came out of the
naval estimates. was too much, and
there was actually a meeting of pro-
test in Hyde Park Even MI Faw.
cett protested in the House OF Com
mons, but public opinion became rec
orcilcd when it was seen that the
Prince was not merely having a holt
day at the country's expense. Presents
to native princes ate up the nice
little sum OF 10000 pounds. which was
really very small when we consider
1t was generally estimated that he
received gifts worth pretty well 500.-
Goo pounds. one maharajah offering

pounds. while English shopkeepers
and manufacturers nctted some ESQ.,
600 pounds out of presents sent from
England The total cost OF the trip
Was considerably over 300, 900 pounds
Every one remembers the spectacu-
lar trip OF tho Kaiser to the Holy
Land some ten or twleve years ago
AS MessrS. Cook arranged that tour,
the exact cost has not been made pub
lie, though ii is reported TO have
amounted TO no more than 5000
pounds. But the Kaiser can be lavish
when he likes. and his visit to Ho-
henberg a year ago cost $4,000 pounds,
although he was only there one hour.
Royal visits TO foreign countries
arc usually borne oy the king own
privy purse, although ii he is en-
gagged In national business he nav re-
ceWe a grant in aid. For instance.
when King Edward and Queen Alex
andra went TO Scandinavia parliament
voted 3.66S pounds. Queen Victoria'S
last trip to the continent cost 1882
pounds. exclusive of 1900 pounds in

viding for a State Board Of Examiners
for teachers certificates PROVOKED
much discussion and was Withdrawn.
The superintendents believe they
should have in charge the granting
of certificates. They believe In Local
self-government and do not think the
State authorities should pass on the
matter of certificates.
At the night session, matters OF farm
life schools were discussed.
The discussions all along have been
very informal, and many superlntend-
ents have taken part. Some very in
teresting and useful suggestions nave
been made, and at the same time a
good deal of time has been killed IN
talking about non-essential matters.
The personnel Of h BODY OF super
intendents is fine. Good men are ar

the most part the county superln-
tendents are a conservative lot, ana

time since the superintendent ar
rived, and the pleasures Of the visit
here have been marred to a certain

Studying Their Business.
Stanford Expressly

Messrs. w. 1. Brooks and w. B. Sell
fers, of this county, went to Raleigh
Saturday to see some fine cotton and
corn nea that city. They went down
not only to see this cotton and corn,
but to gain all h information posi-
bic In regard to its cultivation. Both
MIR. Sellers and Mr.. Brooks have fine
crops Of corn. MI. Brooks tells The
Express hat he has nine acres in
corn from which he expects to gather
40 bushels. He has one acre that he
thinks will produce more corn than
he has ever raised on an acre before.
Mr.. Brooks has never a to buy corn
but has always made enough for his
own use and some to sell. His broth
er, Mr.. George Brooks, who has made
his home in Mississippi for the past
ten years, is now in with his family to
visit him. Mr.. w. I. Brooks showed
him fodder that he raised before he
left the State. It had been housed
away all that time. He says that
while the sandy soil is not as good for
corn as the clay, yet if built up it can
be made to produce a big yield.

SILENT THIRTY-ONE YEARS.
Voluntary Mute Makes Effort to
Speak When Dying, But Fails.

GFrom h New York Tribune.)
Silas Hoffman,, the strange man OF
Bedminster, who kept his bed while
apparently in perfect health and re-
fused to speak for thirty-one years,
is dead.
He passed away last night without
breaking the silence which he had pre-
served for SO long a time, but just be
fore he died he mad an effort to
speak to his devoted sister, Mrs. Mar
garet Lane, who cared for him in his
lonely habitation throughout his &c
centric career. It was too late, how
ever; the years of silence had deprived
him Of the power Of articulation.
Hoffman's strange conduct had made
him a subject Of comment among the
country people Of BedminSter township
for SO many years that he had ceased
to be al object of curiosity to his
neighbOrs, who were inclined to shield
him from public gaze, and even now
are attempting to keep his death a
secret, out OF fear that it would cause
a curious crowd to gather there from
all the countryside.
His funeral will be held on Thurs
day from the house where he died.
He was 81 years old. Whether he was
insane was never determined, although
he had been examined by a score Of
physicians, witt a view to ascertain
ing his mental condition. His eternal
silence and his blank smile bafied all
alienists, and physicians often said he
could not be declared insane, as his
condition was apparently normal.
Hoffman was one of five sons of a
prosperous farmer Of Bedminster
township. The other four are living
and are prominent in the agricultural
and business life Of Somerset county.
Hoffman spent his early life like his
brothers, on his fathers farm. At
the age OF 80 he possessed a farm
and was the owner or a SDank1ng
team Of gray horses, Of which he was
very proud. He was fond eff society,
and was known all around as a gay
young man.
Misfortune overlook him. He lost
his farm and his pet team Of horses
went to bed and turned his ace to
the wall, and for a long time refused
either to speak or eat. Food was
left on a table near his bed, and when
he was nearly starved he arose one
night from his bed and ate and took
a stroll out of doors.
He continued to arise each night
thereafter and eat and take a walk,
until one night when he slipped on the,
ice and broke his arm. After that
accident he never arose from his bed
or passed out Of the door
In all these years he was cared for
like an infant by his widow sister,
Mrs. Margaret Lane. out Of her scanty
income and SO a Week which she re-
cefved for his maintenance from Bed
minister township.
Physicians have been expecting
Hoffman to die every year for the last
decade from sheer Inactivity. His
vitality for a number of years had
been SO low that at times his heart
almost failed to beat, and for several
days before his death his attending
physician could not detect any pulse.

College Bred Wheat.

The demand for higher education
is growing rapidly in the Northwest.
A farmer at Summit, Idaho, now ad-
vises his fellows to plant nothing but
~college-bred wheat. BY this he means
seed raised at the agricultural col
leges, which, he claims, has yielded
him 63 bushels to the acre, where only
40 was harvested before. Still 40
bushels Of wheat to the acre is not a
BAD record for ignorant seeds.
