By Associated Press

Stockholm, May 2o.-Tne Swedish government has been requested to establish model electrified farm to be located, if possible, near Stock holm.
 In view of the fact that more than one-third of agricultural Sweden is now electrified, 1. is proposed that the model farm be as nearly 100 per cent electrically operated as possible so that Swedish farmers, who are now in a position to change horse for electric power. may be enabled to view demonstrations of how white coalp can be utilized in the country.
 The request for the electrified mo- del farm comes from the National Association for Electrification of Rural Sweden In it's communication to the government this body points out the necessity for training Swe- dish farmers IT, making use of elec- trical power. It proposes that farm electritication be made 8 special subject of study at the agriculture schools andFcolleges of the country.

 New York. May 20.-Take it all in all, this was ladies' week. Women contrived to grab most of the lime light from serving hot dogs on tho street to getting into the Hall of Fame, things practically synonymous from news point of view.
 The hot dogs were sold at the street fair on Park avenue in aid of charity. Four bloc1s were roped seff and traffic had to detour for three days while the avenue, with it's strip of green parkway. was turned into the gayest outdoor bazar this side of the orient. Of course, the United States is q democracy. and all this and that. Yet it was surprising how much nicer hot dog lasts when bought at large expense from the hand of debutante. And surely never has hand organ with q mon key had such d fascination as when monkey and hand organ were man aged by an heiress.
 At about the same moment. the average citizen was getting his sand wieh from the jeweled hand of aris- tocracy, woman was also edging into the local Hall of Fame. Among the five busts unveiled today was one of Maria Mitchell. the Nantucket Quaker who became 8 foremost as tronomer. Not until now would the managers of the Hall of Fame permit women to be set up side by side with the men, But from now on,. women are officially as famous as any other sex.

It is said by musicians that the violin family is composed of two pygmiest--he violin and the viola and two giants-.-the violoneello and the double bass. II is reasonable 10 suppose that the great gap between these two extremes could be advan- tageously diminished.

that the humor in prohibition

that the humor in prohibition has
been overdone and to continue its
use by the artists in the Keith thea.
tiers is irritating to those who favor
prohibition.
In addition to these instructions,
Mr.. Albee's order to his managers
also says the theaters should not be
used for political propaganda, giving
that as still another reason why nc
mention of prohibition is to be per.
mitted.
1t is understood that this order
will hit a great many acts, as many
of them have in some way or other
some reference to the Volstead Act
or the prohibitory law in general. II
is even stated that many headline
acts use this form Of joke, but those
who have followed the course of e.
vents have noticed in the past few
months a decided objection among
patrons of the theaters to reference
in any way to prohibition. The feel.
ing seems to be among patrons that
the prohibitory law has long since
passed the joke stage and, aside from
the ethics in the matter, such jokes
are so stale that there is no longer
any humor in them. 1t is understood
that some such order was issued
once before, although not so strin.
gent as the present order, and was
adhered to for a time, but for the
past two seasons the use of The pro-
hibition gags, songs and lines, and
small talk, has been quite general
When seen upon the matter, Mr.
Hamilton, the local manager, stated
that he was very glad such an order
had been passed; that from what
he knew of the Portland people in
general and his own audiences in
particular, he knew that Mr.. Albee's
order would meet with general ap.

Capital Tourists Honor U. S
Heroes.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Homage to
Washington and Lincoln is being
shown by more than 100000 peo-
pie a year. Washington's home, Mt.
Vernon, the mecca of virtually all
Americans and foreigners who come
to Washington, is being rivaled as
a shrine by the beautiful Lincoln
memorial, while the Washington
monument is the most popular of the
three shrines.
Visitors numbering 34,112 went
during July to the top of Washing
ton monument, conveniently located
a few hundred yards south of the
White House. More than one-ffth
of them clambered up the 89S steps
in order to see the memorial tablets
on the various landings inside the
shaft. The remainder rode to the top
in the electric elevator which has a
capacity of 35 persons. More than
5.25O,OOO people have visited the top
Of the monument since it was open
ed for observation purposes October
9, 1888. No entrance fee is charged.
The Lincoln memorial, recently
completed and opened to- the public,
was visited by 1888 persons during
July. Located in Potomac park di-
rectly west of the Washington monu-
ment it is rather inaccessible for pc
destrians, visitors usually go there
by automobile. On a recent Sunday
1000 persons were recorded els en-
tering the great building. 1t is rapid
Ily becoming a shrine for tourists. No
entrance fee is charged.
General George Washington's old
home at Mount Vernon on the Po-
tomac river in Virginia, 16 miles
from Washington, long has been the
mecca of pilgrims from every part
of the world, who go by steamboat,
electric train and automobiles. Kept
as nearly in it's original state as pos
sible by the Ladies' Mount Vernon
association it is a delight to all
Americans. During July approx
mately $4,000 persons visited Mount
Vernon and during the fiscal year
admissions numbered 100000. A
25-cent entrance fee helps to keep
the estate in frst-class condition.
The house where Abraham Lin
coin died, located opposite Ford's
theatre at SIG Tenth street, North
west, this city, is another shrine Wis
tied by many tourists. 1t was bought
by the United States in 1896 for
100000.

Fires at Another and Kills
Wife.

Perry Butler, a young negro, liv-
ing on 7. j. Briggs farm in Edge
field county, about eight miles FROM
North Augusta, vas arrested on this
side Of the North Augusta bridge
early last night by Augusta officers
and is being held for Edgefield cum
ty authorities, as a result OF an al
legged shooting in which Mary But
ler, wife of the arrested negro, was
shot and killed yesterday afternoon.
The shooting took place III the
Bethlehem Baptist church yard at
about 4 o'clock. The negro told the
officers here that the church is sit
uated in Edgefield county at a point
about ten miles from the North Au-
gusta bridge. He did not deny hav-
ing used a weapon, but said that his
intentions were to shoot a racial
brother with whom he had had some
trouble.
"The other negro shot az me-"
Butler told the officers, "and shot
back at him and left in a hurry.
There was a crowd of people in the
churchyard, and l may have shot my
wife in mistake" he said, in his
story to the arresting officers.
Butler told of the difference be-
tween himself and the other negro,
who shot at him, he claims. He said
that he had gone to church, and that
following the services, when many
of the negroes were gathered in the
yard, the other negro produced a re-
volver and shot at him.
He said that he returned fire, and
after firing n shot, left the place
and came toward Augusta. 81 did
not know whether I shot the negro
or not" Butler said, "until 1 was
nearly to the North Augusta Bridge,
when I was told that I had shot and
killed my wife, Mary" Butler said
that he was not making any attempt
to elude arrest, and declared that
he was ready to answer any charges
against him.
ST do not deny having shot my
wife," the negro said last night, "for
I did not want to see. But if I did
kill her, it was by mistake, for I
meant to shoot the negro man who
had shot at me in the chugchyard."
T. M. Butler, chief of Police of
North Augusta, stated last night that
the negro came through that town,
and upon seeing a buggy coming to-
wards Augusta, requested the driver
to carry him to Augusta. The white
man driving the buggy being una
ware of the shooting just a few
hours before, picked the negro up
and brought him to this city. Chief
Butler upon learning that the negro
was headed towards Augusta, noti-
fled the authorities here, and the ar
rest followed.
The sheriff of Edgefield county
was notified last night by the local
authorities, and the prisoner was
turned over to him at a late hour.
The sheriff carried the negro TO ed
gefield for investigation and trial.
