ing much to aid human Drawn in caring for
the golden kernels.
Whereas progressive farmers have In many
instances worked out their own salvation as
regards the improved methods Of corn cultiva-
ton, 1t is perhaps only fair to give the major
portion of the credit to the United States
department of agriculture. which has worked
In cooperation with the State Agricultural col
ieges and experiment stations to bring about
better understanding of the requirements Of
the corn crop. Many an old-fashioned farmer
has been wont to assume that every tiller of
the soil knew from his boyhood apprenticeship
on the farm all that there is to know about
growing corn and yet the experts Of the agri-
culture department found that In reality there

Delawares trip will naturally be compared
that Notwithstanding first leg" of the mem
orable roundtheworld cruise when Rear Ad-
miral Bob Evans led fleet of 16 battleships
around the lower half of our continent. In that
event conspicuously was there exemplified the
adage that In union there is strength, and
aside from the selfconfdence inspired by the
coordinate action Of a whole feet of battle
ships there was the further insurance against
the unexpected offered by the presence with
the fleet of a repair ship, supply ships and ma
val Golfers. The Delaware, on the other hand,
must traverse the same sea track fgurativey
as well as literally ION her own bottom as
the seafaring men say.
However, without Understanding the pres
tige that will come to the Delaware through
all these unusual attributes Of her present trip,
it must be admitted that the greatest signf
cance of all attaches to this 1911 cruise be-
cause of the mission of the Delaware. The
fleet of battleships that visited South Ameri-
can ports a couple of years ago went solely
on the initiative of President Roosevelt as a
practise cruise and sort of object lesson TO
other nations, but the Delaware goes on a
specific mission of coincidence, out of respect
to the memory of an International statesman
and in compliment to friendly nation. She Is
to convey from our shores to his native land
the body of Senor Don Anibal Cruz, the late
minister of the republic Of Chile to the United
States
When foreign diplomat dies at his post of
duty in an alien capital 1t is customary for
the officials of the government to which he
had been accredited as envoy and for his fel-
low diplomats to accord him every possible
honor In death. Elaborate ceremonials are
prescribed not merely as a tribute to the
statesman whose work in behalf of interna
tional good feeling has thus been interrupted
by death, but also as a compliment to the
country and the government whose accredited
agent he was. All the unwritten laws were
carefully observed in the case of the late Chi
lean minister. His funeral at Washington
was made the occasion OF an elaborate mill

means that she is fully one-fourth larger or
heavier than any other vessel now in commits
sion in our navy except her sister ship, the
North Dakota She is also the speediest OF all
our battleships built or building, being capable
of gait Of "a or rs miles per hour, which Is
dictinctly going some" for so ponderous craft,
and which will enable her to make good time
on her round trip beyond Cape Horn if neces-
sity, should arise.
The Delaware is the heaviest armed of all
our "peacemakers," excepting of course her
twin sister, the North Dakota. She carries ten
of the big 12inch guns, four of which were a
few years ago considered ample for any battle
ship, and in addition she has ranged on her
sides Ia of the tremendously effective 5-lnch
guns, to say nothing of whole array of smaller
naval shooting irons" Some Of these latter
the three-pounders, for instance, will be the only
ones used on the present cruise and then merely
for firing salutes. The Delaware has ships
company of record-breaking size--55 officers and
nearly 900 men.

honorary pallbearers But there was one other
courtesy which international etiquette pre-
scribes shall be offered under such sad clrcum-
stances. In accordance with the usage OF
friendly nations the president of the United
States cabled to the president of Chile oHer-
ing the use OF United States warshlp to con-
vey on his last journey home the body of the
deceased dipomatst The offer was accepted
and the Delaware has been assigned to act as
funeral barge on this voyage of thousands of
miles to Valparaiso and return. In accordance
however, with the wishes of the Cruz family
the battleshp did not start on her journey i'm
mediately after the funeral, but the trip was
deferred until this month, the fag-draped cas-
ket reposing in the meantime in receiving
vault in a cemetery at Washington.
The United States government has been
called upon twice before, within comparative
ly few years, to convey home the bodies of emf
nent anAmerican statesmen who have died
in this country. Some years ago the body of
an ambassador of Mexico was thus conveyed
home in state and only year ago similar hon
ors were paid to the remains of the late Senor
Nabuco, who was for years the ambassador of
Brazil at our seat Of government. On neither
occasion, however, was there employed for the
service so imposing vessel as the Delaware.

will appreciate the significance of Uncle Sans
sending his largest and finest warship is the
expectation of the American authorities and
there is plain intent to thus create an espe-
caly favorable impression possibly the more
so because Chile is one of those South Ameri.
can countries with which the United States
has at times in the past been on the verge of
Ill feeling, and it Is the desire of our statesmen
to allay any lingering suspicious and cement
friendship in this quarter The Delaware was
not, of course, member Of the roundthe-world
squadron that visited Chilean ports several
years ago so that not only will she be nov
city to eyes beyond the Andes but she will af-
ford the people of Chile their first opportunity
to inspect an example of the worlds latest

There are three distinct classes in Neapoli-
tan society-it would be better to call them
castes-the nobility and aristocracy, the gal
antuomni" or middle classes, and the ''laz
zaroni" or the submerged multitude"
The first class it is unnecessary to de-
scribe, the other classes live side by side
and are yet distinct and hostile. They differ
in religious and political convictions, in NOR
ais, in social customs, in food and clothing.
The galantuomini include the shopkeepers
the small manufacturers, tradesmen, book
keepers, persons engaged in clerical occupa-
tions, and practically all who are compelled
to earn their living, but who are not engaged
in manual labor.
They are generally liberal and often radical
in politics The men express an open in
difference and often contempt for the church,
but require their wives and daughters to OBJ
serve all the conventional religious duties,
and they themselves never fail to reach for a
cruciix or call for a priest whenever they
imagine their own lives to be In danger.
They are fond of dress and display and In
dulge their taste as far as their means will
permit, but their wives and daughters are
kept in seclusion and are never allowed to
leave the house without duennas to protect
them
The lazzaroni regard with contempt as
we'll as aversion the families of the galan-
tuomini, who are not wealthy and have to
struggle to keep up appearances The laz-
zarohi are strongly attached to the nobility,
have often given practical evidences of loyal
ty and on several occasions have been Of SUI
preme service to the crown.

THREE ORDERS OF SOCIETY IN NAPLES

They live cheaply in the open air with a
room in the basement or the attic of some
old tenement, to which they can retreat for
shelter in case of storm, and when the hour
comes for sleep
They delight in garlic, shell fish, raw vege-
tables and fruit. The women pay little at
tention to their dress and always go bare
headed. There are probably not dozen hats
or bonnets to the thousand OF the women
population of the lazzaroni,
The lazzaroni are so accustomed to fetid
odors the misery, the loathsome filth of the
"Fondaci" as the slums are called, that 1t is
difficult for them to be happy under any other
circumstances They are born in 1t, they live
in it and they die in 1t, and -et there are
grades of misery, just as there are grades OF
prosperity.
There are lazzaroni who are rich and COM
Portable, compared with others who may oc-
cupy the adjoining attic, but it is said by
those who have studied this class that they
are never reduced to condition which Is be-
yond their philosophy to endure that they
will always Jest about their hunger and laugh
about their pains.
Sentimentalists who have made study OF
them insist that the poorer and more loath
some the family the stronger the love and at
tachment AS misfortune comes upon them
they seem to cling more closely together, pa
rents to children, children to parents and
brothers to sisters, and not one is so low or &c
destitute as to be unable now and thea to dc
an act of charity or express compassion to
neighbors who are even more badly off thar
themselves.

paratiVely shallow Potomac river
to Washington to receive the body,
and so the presidents yacht May
flower will be used TO convey the
casket from the capital to Hamp-
ton roads, Va, where the transfer
will be made to the big vessel.
When The casket is conveyed from
the receiving vault to the May

will boom in salute and high off,
cials of the government will stand
with uncovered heads while the
casket is swung by means Of the
long arm of crane from the cais-
son used as hearse to the deck Of
the vessel. A high official Of the
state department will accompany
the body to Hampton Roads as a
representative of our government
and, in all probability, one or more
Chilean diplomats will go with the
body on the battleship all the way
to Chile.
Captain Cove, who will command
the Delaware on this important
cruise, is one Of the most capable
officers in the United States navy
He was for years the commandant
of midshipmen at the United States
naval academy and is thus known
personally to almost every one Of
the younger officers of our sea ser
vice. The Delaware, of which he

One cannot tell what force is going

story may be told, or pretty well fore
told, by the conventions and the gen
eral political movement Of 1912. That
party has g great opportunity, as
shown in the elections of this year,

be a bad idea either, for the Latin Americans
are very Jealous of receiving their due need OF
respect and recognition from their big brother
of the north This focusing of the attention
of people on the east coast of South America
will come about through the circumstance that
the Delaware, being unattended by coal or sup
ply ships, will find it necessary en- route to and
from Chile to put in at ports in Brazil, Argen-
tina and other places for fuel, supplies, etc,
OF course the natives at each port cannot fall
to be impressed by the vessel and the impor-
tance which Uncle Sam attaches to her mis-
sion.

upon a doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,

health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo

made a canvass by mail Of several

SAW ABRAHAM
LINCOLN ASSASSINATED

Those who attended the Metho-
dist church last Sunday evening
were treated to very interesting
lecture by DR.. T. B. Bancroft, civ
il war veteran, who drew very
thrilling picture of those stirring
days.
DR.. Bancroft was with John
Brown during the border war Of
1886 iii Kansas, and a member Of
the Frontier Guard CHARTERED in
the White House and slept on the
velvet carpet Of the big E,ct room
in 1861. The company was com
posed OF 10 Kansas men, and acted
as body guard for President Lincoln
and when the Capitol was threat
en-d, saved it from the rebels. DR..
Bancroft was present in Ford's the
atre, Washington, D. c., on the nigh
that Lincoln was assassinated by ].

men that helped to clear a passage

could be carried out of the house,
and secured a piece of a program
with drop of Lincolns life blood
upon it, which he has presented to
the Kansas State Historical Society,
at Topeka, Kan.
The most interesting part of the
lecture was the description given of
the assassination of the great presi-
dent. He describes all the little de-
tails as wildly as if they had hap
pened but yesterday.
Before leaving this city Monday
morning DR.. Bancroft gave his lee
ture on Lincoln before the children
at the school, and it was thoroughly
appreciated by them.
