WILL TRY TENT-GROWN LEAF
Connecticut Valley Tobacco Raisers
Revive Enthusiasm for It-Rc-
calls Experience.

Springfield, Mass.-The revival Of
the tent-grown tobacco proposition on
a large scale in the Connecticut valley
recalls the disastrous experience of
farmers and others seven Or eight
years ago. The present assertion OF
promoters of shades grown tobacco en-
terprises is that, profiting by the past,
experts have succeeded in producing
strain of wrapper leaf that defles
competition, that this tobacco is bet
ter and cheaper than Sumatra tObac-
co. that 1t passes readily for high
grade of Havana leaf and is In great
demand for wrapping clear Havana
cigars.
The prediction that upward Of three
thousand acres Of tobacco will be
raised under cloth in the Connecticut
valley this year probably insures a
crop Of suff clent size to determine In
single season whether the tent
grown tobacco advocates actually
have overcome the defects which
characterized the crops OF 1902 and
1903.
In the last few years the attention
of the shade, grown contingent has
been concentrated on Cuban tobacco.
The Connecticut Tobacco Corporation.
Of East CRANKY. has raised $50 acres
of the Cuban tobacco under cloth and
the leaves have proved Al wrapper
stock. One or two smaller companies
have also raised satisfactory crops.
That important interests believe
Cuban tobacco is adaptable to the
Connecticut valley is, evidenced by the
entrance of the American Sumatra
Tobacco company, and a dozen small
Ter syndicates have completed ar
engagements to raise crops Of from so
to $50 acres.

Tailors In Annual Convention at ST.
Louis Say Mems Clothes Must
Give Slim Effects.

ST Louis, Mo.-The corset coat is
the fashionable spring and summer
garment for men this year and trous-
ers are to fit so snugly shoe horns
will be necessary to get them on. At
least, so says the international Gus
tom cutters.
Already, they declare, the shadow
of death Is on the foolish over-exag-
gerated man" In his stead will
come the 'under-exaggerat man"
and men Of football physique will ap-
pear so slim their wives and sweet
hearts won't know them.
It Is said that the old caricatures OF
the dandy French counts give a good
idea of just how the tailors expect to
make American men look.
The edict comes forth from parlor
B Of the Planters hotel here, and all
the United States and Canada must
heed the voice from st. Louis. For
here are gathered the custom cutters
of the two nations and they have
with them ITS garments tailored in
the styles they insist are to be.
Shoulders will be slight, the chest
full and the waist small, giving the
effect of corset, they say. Sleeves
also will be narrow. Padding will be
placed about the chest instead Of on
the shoulders. as OF yore.
Coats will be single-breasted, boldly
rounded at the bottom. The "cuta-
way" In many respects will resemble
the frock coat now in style.

TO SELL SPORTING ESTATE
City of Glasgow Plans to Dispose Of
Ideal Hunting and Fishing Re-
sort-Game Is Varied.

Glasgow city is going to sell
its Highland sporting estate. 1t is an
island off the Lorn coast Of Argyll.
Game is varied. The sportsman can
collect a mixed bag of grouse, black
cock, wild duck, rock pigeon, wood
cock and hares. The salmon fishings
are also an attraction. There is an
acreage of lis acres, and the yearly
let is $3.50.
Most of the land is not adapted for
the pillow. Last year the surplus rev
enue was $475. The city fathers have
fixed the upset price at $4,000, and
some capitalist of misanthropical
frame of mind would find the Island
Of Shuna an ideal abode, as 1t Is two
miles from the mainland and off the
track of steamers.

To Honor Carl Schurz at University.

TO Honor Carl Schurz at University.
The establishment of the memorial
professorship at the University of Wis
consin in honor of Carl Schurz will be
celebrated with appropriate exercises
in the armory March 81. The Carl
Schurz Memorial association, of which
Gen. T. G. Winkler is president, is now
engaged in raising the remaining mon
ey necessary to turn over to the re-
gents of the state university, so that
an income Of an endowment fund Of
$4,000 will be available for the profess
sorship.
The exercises will include addresses
by the two German exchange profess
sors now in this country, Ernst Dae-
neel, the German historian this year
Kaiser Wilhelm professor at Columbia,
and DR.. Max Friedlaender, German
professor of the history Of music at
Harvard this year.
The income from the 5000 will be
sufficient to provide for securing a pro
lessor from German universities once
in two years, to lecture for one semes-
ter at the University of Wisconsin
The association also plans to increase
this fund as soon as possible to 100000,
SO that German professor may be Sc
cured for one semester every year. Be
sides lecturing in the university the

fessor will deliver lectures before Ger

Norwegian Overtakes Scared Fugitive

Montville, N. J--Residents OF I'm

pack of dogs and pet deer belonging

Enclosure by breaking the fence, ana
a search was made for 1t by Rutgers
and his employees. The barking or
dogs caused the men to look out On
the Big Piece, fat meadow land
about mile wide and five miles In
length. There they saw the deer, pur-
sued by a score Of dogs.
Koppang ran to his employers home
for his skis and soon took up the
chase. The deer and the dogs had at
least a mile start OF the NorWeg lan
and were headed due north on the five
mile stretch. The snow had good
crust, and Koppang glided along at q
fast rate. 1t was not long before the
entire neighborhood had turned out
to witness the race. The deer held
its own with the dogs, and 1t was
seen that Koppang was fast gaining
on the pursuers and pursued. 1t was
a question of whether the Norwegian
could overtake the deer before 1t got
to the end of the meadow. Ii it did
not it would be hard for him to keep
up the chase, as he would have had
to climb fences.

GOVERNOR-ELECT OF GEORGIA

Governor-elect Hoke Smith Of Geor-

cotton spectators to infect the cot

purpose Of cutting future crops short
and enabling the spectators to win

writer came from New York for per-

HANDLES BIG EDITORIAL JOB

Hugh Chisholm gave q dinner re"
Gently to the American contributors
to the Encyclopedia Britannica.
There are 1900 contributors to this
stupendous work in England and
America. They have written 10000 ar
ticles, comprising 50000,000 words.
Editing all this is an enormous under
taking and even the proof reading is
a stupendous job
The issuing Of the encyclopedia IS
the greatest undertaking in modern
literature. Even the binding Of it may
create a panic in the market for fine
leather. The binding of 1000 copies
requires $4,000 skins. What makes
the task of producing the work more
serious is the fact that it is brought
out in % volumes simultaneously,
whereas the last previous edition was
published one volume at time and
took II years to complete.

Want to Be Librarians.

That nearly $50 young women have
applied for admission to the Wisconsin
library school during the last four
years is shown by the report of NJ. S.
Dudgeon, secretary Of the Wisconsin
free library commission, although only
&c students can be accommodated each
year in the present quarters Of the
school. The demand for trained Ii
brarians which has resulted in all the
graduates of the Wisconsin library
school securing good positions has led
many to take up library work.
The library school was made a part
Of the University Of Wisconsin by the
last Legislature, which, however. did
not appropriate any money to enable
the university to cooperate with the
Wisconsin free library commission in
developing the school to meet the
needs of the many students who desire
to enter. Although the university has
not been able as yet to cooperate with
the library commission in maintaining
the school, a successful joint course
has been arranged whereby students
of ability can complete the regular uni
versity course and finish their library
training in the four years usually re-
CURED for the college course only.
The increase in the income of the
university, which the regents are now
asking the legislature to appropriate,
will make it possible for the university
tn Sot aside funds with which 70 do
velop the library school in cooperation
with the Wisconsin free library com
mission.

No climate in the country has been

that Of the Pine Tree state, but since

of a Democratic legislature or a Dem

any New England state elected a Dem
ocratic senator.

DEMOCRAT WITNESS
FAvORS LOR|MER

Washington, d. c., July 29.---Law-
renee Stringer, democratic caucus
nominee for U. S. Senator from Illi-
nois in 1909, testified favorably for
Senator Lorimer today before the in
vestigating committee.
He said it was apparent that the
legislative deadlock was such that no
republican could be elected without
democratic votes and that Lorimer
was the only man who had more
friends among the democrats than any
other republican.
Senator Kern, nettled by the state
ment of Stringer. as to the democrats
who supported Lorimer, cross-eXam-
ined the witness at length.
Stringer admitted it was known that
Lorimer favored a high tariff and that
his vote might make big difference
in the senate's action on important
schedules.
