to obtain exact statistics. It is absolutely certain that tho disaffected Dutch have joined the Boers In great numbers, which are etlll increases. Most of the recruits, liowever, are young men, General Buller's message, clearly Indicating the punishment for disloyalty, having deterred the actual holders of farms from Joining the Boersv through fear of confiscation of their property. There are row. clear proofs that the loyalty of the border Dutch is unable to withstand the proximity of Boer commandos. The rest of the colony is, apparently, quiet, tut there Is a strong undercurrent of .sympathy for the Boers. The outlook regarding Cape Colony, however, may be regarded as hopeful. The Boers, as well as the British, underestimated the strength of their opponents, and every engagement has evidently tended to establish a hearty respect for "Tommy Atkins."

Jonbrrt Aealn Reported Dead. LONDON", Nov. 2. According to a special dispatch from Cape Town, General Joubert vras killed Nov. 10; but General Buller'3 dispatch of Nov. 2S showed that General "White was in communication with General Joubert or somebody personating him about Hoy. 10. AOT AX EASY TASK. Britain Work of Rectifying the Fnle Military Situation. Copyrighted, iso?, by the Associated Tress. LONDON, Dec. 2. The South African war progresses slowly. The work of rectifying the false military situation 13 evidently none too easy. General Buller's campaign, instead of being aggressive, a3 planned, is now wholly subservient to the necessity of relieving Klmberley and Ladycmith. It sterns that both objects will soon be gained, though not without another engagement between General White's unstrengthened forces and the reinforced Boers. .General Methuen Is described In a weekly as being a bright spot in .the Boer campaign, lie has won great popular favor by his victories on the march to Klmberley. No one, it Is said, knows the topography between tho Orange river and Klmberley better than he does. He traversed, in 1SS4, all tho greater part he now operates on. The general works his men harder than almost any other British officer and Is somewhat of a Spartan in his habits, taking enlisted men's rations and living their life, in contrast to General Clery. who Is accompanied by a French chef, and strictly ordered his staff to take out an ample supply of stores and delicacies. Colonel Baden-Powell's book. "Aids to Scouting." proofs of which he read at aiafeklng, will be published this week. The story is now told as to how Colonel Baden-Powell went to Mafeking. It appears that while on leave, in London, In July, having left his regiment in India, he met Lord Wolseley in Picadilly. "Hullo!" said the commander-in-chief, -you ought to be in South Africa. Can you get out at once?" Colonel BadenPowell left that day. According to M. A. P. (mainly about people), the Queen Is grieving so deeply over the heavy losses on the British side In South Africa that she can scarcely be induced to talk on any other topic, and as a. result she Is subject to severe sciatic and other nerve attacks. It appears that Rear Admiral Harris, commanding; at Cape Town, much disapproved or sending a naval brigade to the front and Sir John Colcomb (a former captain in the navy) and others have written to the Times and service papers protesting against the habit of employing sailors In land fighting on account of the greater difficulty in producing sailors than soldiers, the great cost of their production and the subsequent undermannlng of vessels. The army recruiting returns for November show an unusually low total, almost the smallest on record. It is said, in explanation, that the calling out of the reserves and militia has created a labor demand which is not yet supplied. Two Irish magistrates were deprived this week by Lord Ashbourne, the lord chancellor of Ireland, of their otlices on account of anti-British comments on the Boer war. The proceeding is most unusual, especially as one of the delinquents was a nobleman. Lord Emly, who. speaking to some laborers at Limerick, Inferred that Great Britain might have another Ladysmlth in Ireland. Lord Ashbourne asked for an explanation, but Lord Emly haughtily refused, whereupon he was removed. Lord Emly is prominent in Ireland, both socially and politically, and an ardent home ruler. The only other Instance on record is when Mr. GladStone, years ago. deprived Lord Bossmorc WEATHER FORECAST. Fair To-Dny nnd Mondny In IndianaCooler In Southern Portion. WASHINGTON.

of a magistracy for similar utterances. The society of American women will give a musical and theatrical entertainment Iec. 4 in aid of the hospital ship Maine. These heretofore prominent in the movement arc expected to be present, though It has been decided not to repeat the features which distinguished Mrs. James Brown Pot

ter s entertainment. Many members of this society, which was asked by the orig inators of the Maine Idea to help them, are considerably chagrined at the fact that their efforts were interpreted in such a par tial spirit, many of them at first thinking the hospital ship would indicate a mere de sire to alleviate sufferings on both sides. instead of beins taken to mean a warm support of Great Britain, as has been done. llny'H .Son to Succeed Macrnm. WASHINGTON'. Dec. 2. The President has designated Adelbert F. Hay to proceed at once to South Africa as the representa tive of the State Department and take the place of Mr. Macrum, the present United States consul at Pretoria. The Stat Department has yielded to Mr. Macrum's re peated appeals to be relieved, and he will not await the arrival of Mr. Hay before quitting his post. Mr. Hay is the son of the gecretary of state. As Mr. Macrum has been granted permis sion to leave Pretoria at once, the affairs of the consulate will be in the hands of Mr. Atterbury, a .resident American citizen in Pretoria. He will act as consul until the arrival of Mr. Hay, which, according to the calculations of the officials here, should be within five or six we?ks. DnchenK D'l'ies Indignant. PARIS, Dec. 2.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2. The State De partment will take no cognizance of the party recruited by Gustav Theilkuhl for the alleged purpose of coins to South Af rica, as the department officials say the British authorities have not called attention to the movement and it is not looked upon as in any way serious.

Bride Chosen for the Croirn Trine Bubonic Plnsne Appears. YOKOHAMA, Nov. 15, via San Francisco, Dec. 2. The bubonic plague has made its entry Into Japan, five cases having been re ported at Kobe, three already proving fa tal. The pest is traced to cotton Imported from China, the original buyer, the car rier and the purchaser of the stuff being the three victims. A hundred houses are isolated and a corps of the most eminent physicians in the empire have been dispatched to the scenew The future Empress of Japan has been chosen and her engagement to the crown prince announced. She will have a dowry of a million and a quarter of yen from her own family and from the Emperor, the latter contributing the larger part of the sum. It may be significant that by this marriage the crown prince will become related to the Mirhp:t RunMhist nriest in the empire. In view of the strong Buddhistic movement to secure state recognition, tne ract is commented upon as of greatest interest. The government has decided to build two new cruisers at its own dockyards, one at Kuro and the other at Yokohama. Tho ton of thp Jananese nress on the war in the Transvaal is decidedly pro-Brit-lsn. Left n Wife In Honolulu. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2. Hawaiian ad vices, under date of Nov. 26, say that Lewis M. Henry, who is stated by dispatches from Peoria, 111., to have deserted his wife' In that city after robbing her of $T,000, has a wife in Honolulu. He left her as suddenly as he disappeared from Peoria and San irancisco. I'nifoH Rtntoa Consul General Ilavwood returned to-diy from Manila. China and Japan on the steamship Coptic. Mr. HayWood is a supporter of the policy of General Otis in the Philippines, where he thinks good work, that will soon be completed successfully, is being done. STEAMER WRECKED. IVeeott Ilenched at Humboldt Hay, with Two Lives Lost. EUREKA, Cal., Dec. 2. The steamer Weeott lies a total wreck on the south jetty of Humboldt bay, having struck the rocks there, and of the twenty-four per sons on board all are safe but two. One passenger, Mrs. Carmichael, a resident of Ferndale. this county, and Gus Nelson, a seaman of the steamer, lostx their lives. Mrs. Carmichael was the first pxrson the life-saving crew tried to rescue. She was in the basket which was on the life line run to the doomed vessel from the jetty. A big breaker struck the basket as she was almost in the arms of her rescuers, and she was swept away. Her body was not Recovered. Nelson was killed by a falling spar which struck him, breaking his neck. The steamer went on the rocks at 5:30 last evening. She lay outside nearly all afternoon, waiting for a smooth sea. At 5:30, though It was low tide, Captain Burtis determined to make the attempt. He had barely entered the passage when a great breaker struck the steamer astern, sweeping off her upper works as though they were a board. Hooding the engine room, putting out her tires, and leaving her helpless. In a few minutes the big breakers swept her in up on tho south side of the south jetty, where the seas swept over her. The bar was unusually rough, and it is almost a miracle that there is a single furvivor. To the bravery of Mate Morgan is largely due the rescue. He plunged into the terrible breakers, managed to get to the rocks of the jetty, climbed upon them and then upon the piling-, carrying a line with him. Soon the life-savins crew arrived, slung their basket, and rescued the others, with the exceprfbn of Mrs. Carmichael. The Weeott was owned by the N. It. S. Steamship Company, otherwise the Charles P. Doe Company, of San Fran-, cisco. Drunken Cattlemen Mutinied. ST. JOHN, N. B-. Dec. 2. The Donaldson line steamer Amarynthla arrived here from Glasgow to-day with a mutiny on board. As soon as the vessel dropped anchor in the harbor. Captain Taylor sent for the police to take charge of thirteen cattlemen who were attempting to take possession of the ship. Chief Clark and a squad boarded the steamer, and after a tight, during which knives were drawn, the cattlemen were overpowered and placed In irons. It appeared that the cattlemen broke Into the oargo of whisky Just before the vessel reached port, and drank liquor freely. Movements of Steamers. NEW YORK.

WIRE MILL TO RESUME

ORDER OP COURT REJUVENATES AX IDLE ILLINOIS PLANT. DcclMlon That Strikes n Illovr at the Steel nnd Wire Trntt Other Business Matters. SPRINGFIELD. 111., Dec. 2. In the United States Circuit Court to-day Judge Allen entered an order in the foreclosure suit of S. Leonard Boyce, trustee, vs. the Continental Wire Company, of Granite City, HI., authorizing the receiver, who is S. Leonard I3oyce, the complainant, to enter into an agreement with the Merchants Wire Nail Company to operate the plant. Tho motion for the order was made by the receiver and several Judgment creditors, and was resisted by the American Steel and Wire Company (the steel trust). By the terms of the agreement, whlcw the court makes part of its order, the Merchants Wire Nail Company agrees to pay to the receiver $2,000 per month, beginning Dec. 1, 1S3) for one year, and to equip, furnish the material and pay all expenses of operating the plant and receive all profits arising from the sale of the product. The court directs that within the terms of the agreement the re.eiver shall act as directed by the operating company, but. that outside these terms the company snail act as directed by the receiver. The effect of the order is, while it keeps the control of the plant in the direction of the court. It relieves the receiver of any obligations that may accrue in operating it. The plant has been closed two years. TO 1XCHKASK STOCK. National City Bank May Be Capitalized at Ten Millions. NEW YORK, Dec. 2. The directors of the National City Bank have voted to recommend to the shareholders an increase of the capital stock from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000. This increase, In the judgment of the directors, is advisable for a number of reasons, among them being, It Is said, the desire to avoid the restriction of the national banking act, by which national banks are prohibited from making a direct loan of more than one-tenth of their capital stock to any firm, pen-on or corporation. Although this restriction does not apply to discounts of commercial paper, it does extend to loans, even when secured by the best collateral. And It is precisely such loans for which there is the greatest demand in large sums by single lirms or corporations. MISSOURI ZIXC. Production Last Year Shovs a Grent Incrrnte in Tonnage.

A thousand times there has been shown this friendship that united the American people with the Filipinos in clubs, assemblies, associations and meetings; consequently, these manifestations which the people are to make to-morrow in honor of Bryan and the party dedicated by him. representatives of the good sons of the Nation, as a debt of gratitude and a duty of friendship. "God grant that in no distant time we may see fulfilled the aspirations of the two friendly peoples. Meanwhile, let the organizing committee receive our message of congratulations, which faithfully expresses the desires of the Filipino people, on whose coat of arms appears the gratitude of al! who, yesterday or to-day, have interested themselves In our cause."

The Most Serious Problem. LONDON, Dec. 2. Commenting on tho Philippine situation, the Saturday Review

cays: "We have heard the etory of Agulnaldo's defeat and flight so often that It has ceased to stir our credulity. But, even if true, it In jio.way.dlsnoaes-of. the most serious problem the Americans have to face. This Is not how to conquer, but how to administer the islands. It Is high time the men in the United States who honestly desire to take up the work of civilization should assert themselves and show they do not intend that their officials or soldiers shall be the moral successors of the Spanish."

Still Itnclng Torrnrds Manila. WASHINGTON. Dec 2. The Brooklyn railed to-day from Colombo, Ceylon, for Manila, her next stop being at Singapore, 1,270 miles distant. From that point she will have to travel l.SSG miles to complete her journey. She will require at least ten days to make the trip. The New Orleans Is at Colombo taking on coal, and she will probably get off also for Singapore tomorrow, one day behind the Brooklyn. The little Marietta, also bound for Manila, sailed to-day from Aden for Pointe de Galle, Ceylon. . , Return of the Transport Grant. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-The United States transport Grant arrived to-day from Manila, via Nagasaki, with a number of discharged me$.

HALF A MILLION ONLY FIIAXKLIX SYNDICATE DID XOT REAP A GREAT' HARVEST. Untried Scheme 4 That Might Have Netted Better Results Gudgeons Plenty in Ohio. NEW YORK, Dec. 2. Investigation of Miller's Franklin Syndicate shows that the total amount of money that passed through its hands barely reaches half a million. This is shown by the check books containing the dividend checks that were to have been mailed on Nov. 23. the day after Miller's flight. There aro 8.1GC of these dividend checks, representing a total amount of $C9,29.79. The interest paid being 10 per cent, per week, $GOD,jOQ Jn round figures was all that Miller could possibly have got away with. Even this sum must greatly exceed the real profits of the syndicate since a large number of depositors had left their principals In the hands of the syndicate more than ten weeks, and the sum, therefore, had been repaid by the weekly dividends. A letter to a depositor was also found, revealing a plan which, if carried Into effect, would have greatly increased the Income of the syndicate. This was an announcement that after the proposed Incorporation of the company on Dec. 2 no deposits of less than. would be received, and all princJpata.Adt, that. amount then Jn hand must either be raised or withdrawn. At least a third of the deposits were for sums under $50. and it is safe to say that a majority of them would have been raised to the reciuired sum The Evening Post says: "In looking through the book containing a list of customers of White's -bureau, seized by the police, a New York address is rare, but there are many from the northern part of New . York State, Boston and its suburbs, .Charlestown especially, furnishing a large quota of investors. Massachusetts and New Hampshire contributed largely to the swindler's pile. West Virginia and Kentucky led in tho South, but Ohio was the "banner State" In tho Union for these schemers. Money ilowed in from many towns there, making it appear that wealth and credulous enthusiasm abounded exceedingly In the small towns of Ohio." . -. The Investors ' Trust. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2. A third attachment was Issued to-day against the Investors' Trust, a get-rich-quick concern, on the suit of a depositor. It was learned to-day that the business of the concern was much more extensive than was at first supposed. It ia believed that, there are between 6,0K) and 7.00) subscribers to the stock. Miss M. C Carson, who acted as cashier in the ofrice of "the trust," was to-day closeted with a private detective who has been investigating the matter, and counsel for a number or the victims. She explained in detail her connection with the company nnd said that the lowest interest offered by the promoters was 11 per cent. Charles L. Work and J. Wells Levitt, managers of the trust, are still missing, and the office remains closed. Held on n Charge of Fraud. CHICAGO, Dec. 2. Mellvllle Fuller, whe ran the Alaska Coal and Mining Company, was held to the federal grand Jury to-day on the charge of using the mails to defraud. Fuller is charged by Postoffice Inspector Farrell with duping relatives of dead persons. It is alleged that defendant watched the obituary columns in the newspapers for notices of the death of wealthy persons. He would then send certificates for a number of shares in his alleged com pany. These letters were addressed to the deceased, but the relatives or heirs would gladly pay a small amount, which was said to be the last payment due on valuable stock. DEFIES THE COURT. New Ronrd Member Sncceeds Reese In Handling: Kansas Strike. FORT SCOTT, Kan.. Dec. 2.John P. Reese, member of the national executive board of the United Mine Workers of America, who is In jail here for contempt of the Federal Court for participation in the Kansas City coal strike, has been succeeded in the management of the strike by James Boston, another oi the eight members of the national executive board, who lives at Duquoin, 111. Boston, after a long conference with Reese at the federal jail, announced his mission in a defiant statement to Judge Williams, of Arkansas, who sentenced Reese. Boston says: "I am going into the field to do and say just what Reese did and said. If I am arrested, another member of the board will take my place Immediately. If he is put in jail, another will come, 'ine board may be depopulated, and then another will be at once elected. We would be cowards, and not American citizens, if we were cowed by such a decision." President Mitchell, of the Mine Workers of America, telephoned from Indianapolis to-day that the National Union has employed counsel to institute habeas corpus proceedings to secure Reese's release. Boston will begin active work in directing the Kansas strike next week, and will at once. It is said, be cited for contempt. ' Want Sanitary Lavri Enforced. LONDON, Dec 2. Representatives of S0,000 cotton and cloth workers have appealed to the home secretary, declaring they will go out on strike unless the provisions of the law regulating the sanitary conditions of factories are enforced. They specified unhealthful violations of the law committed by manufacturers. A vigorous prosecution was promised and as the men apparently made reasonable demands, it is not likely the threatened strike will occur.

RlHLIN GETS DECISION

SIX ROUNDS OP LIVELY FIGHTING WITH JACK MXOR3HCK. Had the Phllndelphlan Goluff, but Was Unable to Pat Him OatYonng Griffo to Ile-ISnter It Ins?. CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Gus Ruhlin, the Akron giant, easily defeated Jack McCormlck, of Philadelphia, In a six-round go at the Tattersall's to-night. Both men were in far from fitst-class condition, but Ruhlin's superior height and reach told heavily on his opponent, who was seldom able to land effectively Rhulln scored clean knockdowns in the first and third rounds, and had a long lead in every round. Billy Madden, manager for Rhulin, to-day deposited 51,000 with Colonel Hopkins to match Rhulin against any heavyweight, London prize ring rules, Jeffries preferred. Round 1 Rhulin led with his left, but missed. McCormlck landed left on face, Rhulin put a right on ear, Mac retaliating with his left. Rnulin put a stiff right upper cut on the chin; McCormlck swung a hard right to the ear and brought it straight to the jaw. Rhulin poked a hard left on the mouth, and put two rights on ear, sending McCormlck to floor. He was up immediately and swung his left hard on neck. Round 2 Rhulin forced the fighting and put a hard straight left on the chin. McCormlck grossed his right to the jaw, Rhulin countering on the ear. Rhulin put in a hard right on tho jaw, staggering McCormlck a bit, and put his left to the ear. Mac swung his left to the jaw 'and right to the ribs, Rhulin countering heavily on ribs. McCormlck landed a hard right on ribs and Rhulin planted his right on the Jaw. Mac slipped to the floor In attempting a swing, ana when he got up he met a left on the chin that staggered him again. Round S-Gus led a left, but missed, and was countered on the chin. Rhulin put in a hard left on the jaw, Mac going to the rloor. He arose at once and swung a light left to the face. Rhulin put in three on ribs and chin. McCormlck landed a hard right on the jaw, but was put down with a right on the jaw and took the limit. He got up rather groggy, but fought hard, and poked a hard right to the ribs. Rhuun kept after his man and put in two to the face. Just as the gong sounded Rhulin slammed a right on the chin that made Mac reel. Round 4 Rhulin went after his man immediately, Mac going to his knees in an exchange. Ruhlin put in two hard lefts to the stomach, McCormack countering with left on mouth. Getting his man in a corner, Ruhlin put his left on the law twice and again on the chin. Mac sent in a terrltic right on the stomach. Gus played for the stomach with his right, sending it In twice good and hard and a left to the ear. McCormack brought his right over to the jaw just as the gong sounded. Round 5 Gus missed a right uppercut and got a left in the mouth. McCormack rushed twice, but missed. Qus put a left hook on the car. McCormack countered with a left on the ribs. McCormlck swung a hard right to the jaw and was countered heavily on the ribs. Ruhlin put up a hard left on the jaw, stagering McCormack. The latter rushed and was met with a straight left on the jaw. Gus kept after his man, end with right and left on the jaw made him reel. McCormack fought back blindly but ineffectually, and the gong probably gaved him. Round 6 Ruhlin started rushing and put a right on the ear. McCormack swung a heavy left to the ear, but met a right uppercut. He placed a good left on Ruhlin's chin and repeated it on. the ribs. Ruhlin put a light left on nose, Mac escaping a tight for the face. Ruhlin put a right on the Jaw that stapered McCormack, and repeated it an instant later. Then with a right on the stomach he made McCormack so groggv that he could senreHv keep his feet. Ruhlin kept after his man, but was unable to finish nim before ihv gong sounded. Slier gave Ruhlin the decision. During the preliminaries "Young Griffo" was introduced and the announcement made that the famous Australian featherweight would re-enter the ring In the near future. Griffo has apparently entirely regained his health. -- FITZ AXD JULIAN PART. The PngilUt nnd His Oltl-Time Manager Qnnrrel. CHICAGO, Dec. 2. The News says: ExChampion Robert Fitzsimmons and his oldtime manager, Martin Julian, have parted company. This resulted after a bitter quarrel in the pugilist's room at the Sherman House last night, in which fists were freely swung and a revolver displayed. Fitzsimmons left for New York to-day, vowing he was done with Julian for good. This disagreement comes after a series of misunderstandings. According to the stories of both men, it grew out of Fitzsimmons's Inability to obtain a box at the Lyric Theater during a crowded period. Julian is interested In the Lyric. The pugilist, it is said, made certain remarks of an uncomplimentary nature concerning the Lyric and Julian took him to task. After a little talk Julian slapped the big fellow's face and the fighter swung on his manager's eye, skinning it slightly and raising a slight lump. Fitz declares that Julian drew a revolver and that he chased him out of the room. Julian insists that it was Bob who drew the pistol. CUBAN POLITICS. Mayors neqnented TVot to Protest Against a Civil Government. HAVANA, Dec. 2. Civil Governor Emillo Nunez had a conference to-day with Secretary of State Capote, In the course of which he announced that ho had officially Instructed all the mayors In the Havana province to refrain from joining In the protests against the establishment of a civil government which are being made at the veteran centers, as the mayors and superior authorities cannot, under existing laws, take part in politics. La Lucha says that in war times Marti, Gomez, Maceo and Garcia stood distinctly above all others, but now there cannot be found one who would be accepted by the people as their truest representative or who possesses sufficient talent to cause him to be selected as superior to others. The paper also says the veterans protest against the appointment of an American civil Governor and want a Cuban appointed tc that office, but that if one of their own numbers were nominated the selection would cause protests as energetic as those now being made. The chief aspirants, La Lucha says, would be Senors Lanuza, Capote, Freyre, Andrade. Lacrete. Collazo. Bandera, Rabe, the two Sangulllys and several other persons of sinner position, not one of whom would be acceptable to the people. The Cuban Genemls Lacrete and Acevedo are organizing a syndicate to form into a canal the Conca river. They expect to employ 3.000 men. They declare themselves averse to any change in the public order. General Maximo Gomez presided at a meeting of the Emllio Nunez Club to-day, and proposed that all the provinces In the island should Immediately be asked to send members to a meeting to be held in Havana for the purpose of electing a committee empowered to represent Cuba to the American government and to endeavor to obtain from the United States what the meeting authorized them to ask for. In answer to inquiries regarding the condition of affairs in the various provinces of the island, the civil governors have replied that the greatest calm prevails. GREEN CORN AT CHRIST3IAS. Latest Development of tne Hothonae Vegetable Indnitry. Philadelphia Record. Not content with the early and late crops of vegetables and fruits, afforded by the wide variations of climate in different sections of this broad land, the modern epicure demands of the hothouse an almost continuous supply of fresh vegetables all the year around. Consequently, there Is not a month In the year when the market does not offer fresh tomatoes, eggplants, melons,, cucumbers, lettuce, grapes, etc., not to mention fresh ' strawberries at Christmas and new potatoes at Easter. Notwithstanding this extensive development of the hothouse vegetable industry it is predicted by high authorities that a few years will witness many new departures In the forcing of vegetables. ' . Recent experiments have been conducted by the New Hampshire Experiment Station of the Department of Agriculture in growing green corn and pole beans under glass in order to determine the possibility

of forcing them on a commercial scale, as, heretofore, they have never been produced out of season. Both crops, it has been found, thrive In any greenhouse with plenty of head room, a good soil and carefully regulated temperature. The last should not be allowed to fall below 60 degrees Fahrenheit at night; 70 degrees is better, while during the day the temperature should be 10 or more degrees higher. The atmosphere should be kept moist except during the period of pollination of the corn, and the soli should never be allowed to become very dry. With early varieties of corn, mich as Crosby Early, First of All and White Cob, crops mature in from eighty-three to eighty-six days As sweet corn does not appear on the market before July, hothouse corn will no doubt prove a very profitable crop for the metropolitan hothouse vegetable grower owing to its very extended season without competition. One particularly advantageous feature in regard to corn and pole bean crops is that they aro not attacked by insects or fungu3 diseases, which give a great deal of trouble with other greenhouse crops. During the early stages of growth a "catch" crop, such as radishes or lettuce, may be taken off the ground or the unused space be utilized for starting plants that are to be transplanted. Both corn and beans require very little attention in regard to pollination. With corn it is only necessary to see that the atmosphere is not too moist, and the flowers of the beans are Felf-fertile. Crops of pole beans supported on a trellis of string mature In from fifty-four to sixty-two days and form a profitable crop compared with the forced bush beans now soid in the East I during the winter. 1 Kemarkuble as it may appear, these two common vegetables have never been grown under glass before, so that the work of the experiment station In demonstrating their utility as greenhouse crops will no doubt open a way for their commercial introduction at an early date. STARVING ON A LIMITED. Passenger Without Pood "When the Train I Late. Chicago Chronicle. How many railroad travelers, either casual or veteran, have ever experienced the sensation of gnawing hunger in a palace .car, with no possibility ot appeasing nature's cravings tor hours at a stretch? Hunger is usually associated with squalor and poor surrouifdings. It is rarely associated with the acme of luxury and ease. It is one thing to stand outride a restaurant with an empty pocket and aine, as an fc-ng-lish satirist says, on the odor of cookery. It ia quito another sensation to roll along in a agner or Pullman car at the rate of lifty miies an hour on a limited express train with pockets well lined with banknotes and coin and to stare starvation in the face. Jso timing car, no bullet car, and tho speed of the limited train rendering a stop at refreshment stations impossible! Luxury on every hand, with a porter to attend to every want, except to bring you fcod. Rushing past farmhouses, where the smoke of kitcnen chimneys show the preparations out of a plentiful larder for the midday or evening meal. Dashing past orchards heavy laden with ripe fruit, or past barnyards, where sleek cows are yielding their rich, creamy sustenance into generous milk pails. Plenty to eat and drinic everywhere except in our prison palace on wheels. The fatness of good living in the section man's hut by the track side and a Sahara of starvation in the gilded coach on the limited train! A Chicago man recently boarded a limited train at Detroit, en route to Chicago at 9 in the morning. The train's scheduled time of leaving was 7, but In its Journey across Xew York and Ohio it had fallen behind two hours. The dining car was still serving breakrast when the tram pulled out of ttroit, but as the passengers who got on beard at the latter city had "breakfasted early and hastily at their hotels or homes they ignored the dinner until the hour for lunchoen arrived. Then the trouble b?gan. Sauntering leisurely to the rear, where the dining car employes were making frantio efforts to clear up dishes and tables, the following sample colloquy was repeated at intervals: "Can we have luncheon or dinner?" "Just finished clearing up breakfast. If we can get dinner cooked in time we may serve it on this train, but the chances are we will be cut off before we are ready to serve." "Can't we have an impromptu lunch or anythirg?" "Against the rules to serve anything until tho dinner is cooked." As this particular dining car had to meet the express leaving Chicago at noon, east bound, it was evident that the east-bound passengers would get the dinner and that the west-bound passengers would go hungry. To all entreaties the manager of the culinary department had a stereotyped reply: "Being two hours late has thrown the dining car service out of gear. We must obey orders and get ready for dinner on the other train." So the hours melted away. The eastbound express was met about one hundred miles from Chicago, the dining car was cut off and tho west-bound passengers settled down to a process of slow starvation. Bribery was no more efficacious than flattery or entreaty as far as the train employes were concerned. There was absolutely nothing to eat on the train. The candy butcher and newsman had sold his basket of fruit in a Jiffy and he, too, was helpless. "Can't you get us a sandwich at some station?" "Not a lunch counter between here and Chicago, and if there were we don't stop anywhere long enough." Plush seats and magnificent draperies are well enough In their way, but they do not tend to alleviate the distress of a gnawing stomach. Even tobacco has lost its power to stay the cravings of emptiness or flu the void that has been steadily increasing since early dawn. "How long before this train gets into Chicago?" "Only two hours more." The engineer is evidently trying to make up lost time and the telegraph poles are flitting by like a picket fence. The speed Is snaillike to an individual consumed with hunger who wants food and can't buy it Even the second-class passengers In the far forward coach are reveling In contentment, for most of them are provided with the oldfashioned lunch basket. If this famine endures much longer at least one occupant of the Wagner palace car will have to go forward and asked to be ted, like Lazarus. from crunfts. Piercer explorers often trizj toci tales

It Is only necessary to board a limited train in the heart of civilization, that is two hours behind pchodulft time, to duplicate the harrowing experW nee. Fortunately the limited train has a haf.it of reaching its destination, and when this particular train reached the Dearborn Nation In Chicago, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, it was a half-famlshed party of travelers that astonished the proprietor of the lunch counter with a series of rush ortlr that threatened to tax his refourcos. ttut the rules of the dining car service had been kept intact, even if a compulsory 1ay of fasting fell to tho lot of sundry conndlr.s parsengwa. On another occasion a passenger ro1e la solitary grandeur in a ralace car on a Canadian transcontinental line and breakfasts! on a package of cookies and a bottle of glngpcr ale, bought after excessive ursine at a way station by the car porter. Th! train, too. was late and the dining car was waiting about 100 miles up the line for the tardy and famished passengers. On another occasion he rode from Chicago t Des Moines, Ia,, in a Pullman car on the subsMance of a couple of oranges, while the engineer was doing his best to make up lost time. It would have meant the sacrifice of a few aeconds and a great railroad's refutation to stop at a lunch station en route and there was no dining car attached. Similar instances will occur to the m:rl of every habitual traveler. The pertinent query Is: Shall the old-fashioned lunch basket bo revived? Of course mopt moVrri trains have buffet cars or dining cars galore, but they are not always on schedule time In their connection? Th continental hib'.t of serving package lunches to travelers which are handed in at the doors of coaches when a stop Is made has Its advantages, r.ut the home luncheon, an appetizing sandwich or two. somo fruit, a bottle of milk or tea, and even the homely doughnut or pie is a safe sheet anchor in the perilous times wh'-n railroad FChedules become mixed. The moral of It all Is that starvation on n palace car is like starvation anywhere else mightily unpleasant and provocative of cuss words. Even the porter's grin is only aggravating as he fays in K tone of broad sympathy: "She is ahummln. sir; soon be thar. Kind of hungry myself." A "WORD FOR THE PASTOR. His Flock Shonld Not I!nr Itnelf Finding Work for Htm. Indiana Baptist Outlook. With all clue regard for the wisdom of others, we believe that one line of effort on the part of the members of the church s is wasted energy. We refer to the time and thought given by some of the m mU-r of the church to what the pastor sh-.uli do. Some people seem to think their r.uty consists wholly in hunting something for the pastor to do. They discover a family In need for the pastor to visit; they hear of a soul hungry for a word of encojia ment which the pastor should speak; tfcey flnd a soul ready to give up .!n when tr.e pastor points out the way: they haw eyts all around their head for work needing to be done at once by the pastor. Rut we believe with all due respect that the hunting for work for the pastor to do is mwh worse than wasted effort. He sm.-s much more to do than he has strength to dc. Hi knows best, if he is worthy of being a pastor, what he should do and whit he should leave undone, for much must N: sadly left undone, for strength is limits!.

A startling episode that had a rathr sanguinary ending occurred in a leai;:g hotel cafe the other day. It re.ui:?i :n the discomfiture of a trio of young fellows, who are students in a promir.f r.t educational institution. The three, who were swelled up with sophomore priJe. came into the cafe and called for their favorite beverage.
