Charles EL Hyde, former chamberlain of New York city, who was recently indicted on the charge of bribery and with accepting a gratuity as a public officer, had the handling of approximately 6500.000.000 daring his term. Mr. Hyde has been in the public eye since last December, when he evaded service to testify before a legislative investigating committee. He was finally located on a houseboat ia Florida, bnt did not return to New York until the life of the committee had expired by limitation. He resigned his office as soon as the indictments were returned against him. Mr. Hyde is a native of Nora Scotia, about, forty-two years of age. and is a nephew of Mayor Gaynor by the latter's first marriage. During tfie mayoralty contest in New York be managed Gaynor’S canvass and on the latter's election was named chamberlain of the city’s finances. Previously he had been associated with the mayor in the law business. His part in the campaign was mainly to attend to the financial end of the fight. The job of city chamberlain pays SI 2JOOO per year, but Its possibilities in a financial way are tremendous. Hyde did not attract mnch attention in his office until the affairs of the Carnegie Trust company came under investigation. Then it was alleged that be was permitted to borrow large sums from that institution in return for making the trust company a depository for city funds. He claims that the charges are false and that be is the victim of a conspiracy. Clarence Darrow, Labor Lawyer. Clarence Darrow of counsel for the defense of ,John J. and James B.

HE GAME HOME WITH THE SHIP

Drowned Sailor Reappears to His Sweetheart ;C

The United States frigate Pensacola, ordered to Brasil, was getting ap anchor. Lieutenant Edward Fletcher and his fiancee. Grace Banning, were standing in a corner of the deck speaking the last harried parting words. “From all I can learn, sweetheart," he said. “we’B get back here within six months, and when we do”— “Oh. Ned. suppose something should happen!" “What can happen in these times of peace? No: Til be here with the ship, and then”— “Don’t sjßwk so confidently; there are storms and. down there, hurri"Dariing. I tell yon I’ll be here with the ship, no matter what happens.” There was a signal for visitors to leave the ship, a long, impassioned embrace between the lovers, and Miss Banning went ashore. On reaching Rio. Lieutenant Fletcher was ordered to command a boat’s crew to go ashore and bring off supplies. The passage was not considered dangerous. but a strong wind and tide, despite the oarsmen’s efforts to keep the boat steady, carried her bow around so that she fell into the trough of the sea. At the moment a gigantic wave dashed against her side, capsized her, and the young commander and all of bis crew were drowned. The shock to Grace Banning at hearing of her lover's death well nigh uplet bey reason. At first she cried to him piteously to come back to her; that he had promised to come back with the ship. Then she fell into a stupor, a lack of interest in everything about her. In vain her mother endeavored to provide her with such occupation and amusement as would divert her mind All in vain. She constantly brooded over the last scene between her and her lover, especially the words spoken by each, always ending. “Darling. I tell you I’ll be here with the ship, no matter what happens.” Mrs. Banning was pained to notice that her daughter was keeping track of the Pensacola. That ship on touching at Rio received orders to proceed around “the Horn” to San Francisco, thence to Hongkong. Grace watched the government reports. Indeed, her heart was in the ship —fling around the world. Perhaps she was waiting for It to return that she might again stand in the corner where she bad bidden what had proved a last fsrewelL When the ship reached China she began to appear more cbeerfnL It was as if her lover was aboard and. having —fled over half the globe, would now have entered upon the return. Mrs. Banning, not realizing the cause of the change in Grace, began to hope that aba was mending and even looked about for a suitable party with whom aha might make a match for her. She knew Grace would never marry for love »«d being Indifferent as to whom aha married, might be Influenced to take a rich husband. At last it was announced that the ship Pensacola was due. She did not arrive on time, and Grace seemed troubled. When she arrived Grace was in a flutter, acting as one about to be reunited with a lover Instead of with the ship on which he bad sailed. Then came Invitations for a ball given by the officers on board the ship. Mrs. Banning reproved the servant who unwittingly gave the cards to Grace, but was thunderstruck wh n n her daughter told her that she would attend the balL Finding that she could not dissuade her, the mother consented, with a faint hope that the visit under such different circumstances from the last might break the spell. On the night of the entertainment the ship was brilliantly illuminated, while a marine band furnished music. The decks woe in possession of the dancers. Mrs. Banning kept an eye on her daughter for awhile, but Grace seemed to stand np so we* under the ■train that her mother soon gave over watching her. Then Grace was missing. She had walked, on the arm of a naval officer, to the corner where she had parted with her lover. That corner was now in the light, and couples were walking past It to and fro. Suddenly Grace’s form quivered, she threw up her arms and exclaimed: “Ned! Oh. Ned! 1 knew you would be herer She started forward with outstretched arms, but soon sank la a swoon. Her attendant, astonished, picked ber up, while several couples who were passing sprang to his assistance. Water was sprinkled in her face, and she revived. Then, with a strange light in her eye, she walked away, supported by ber attendant. Her mother was Called, and they left the ship to be driven borne. The officer who bad been ber escort, puzzled, went back to the place where Grace bad swooned. There in the corner where she bad seen, or fancied she saw. her lover be picked up several strands of wet slimy seaweed. He wondered bow they came there. 7 Grace waa driven to a borne she never afterward left. She made no mention of the cause of her shock, and her mother never asked for Information concerning 1L The physician who was called In pronounced her case one of hysteria, the result of monomania or brooding ou one subject. However that may be. ber melancholy never left her.

HOW TO BLAST STUMPS.

\ Careful Work With DynamK# J Will Rout Thom Out at 18 Conto Each. Pine stumps should be considered in two classes —those with taproots and tboae without The first part of a pine stamp to tot la the taproot, and a field that looks very discouraging will often be found eaay to clear. In blasting pine stamps the Important feature is to place the explosive close to the point of greatest resist* ance, which Is in the taproot directly under the center of the stump. This taproot can nanallv be located by digging underneath the smooth side of the stump. When the taproot is located dig an opening, one to two feet deep, down by the side of the

taproot; then bore an anger hole two Inches in diameter into the taproot at an angle of from 35 to 50 degrees. The auger hole should be bored not less than three-quarters of the way through the uproot, care being taken not to drill entirely through, for by so doing a great deal of the explosive force would be wasted in the back of the hole, which would then be in the ground. Load with from one to three 114 by 8 inch cartridges (depending on the slxe and age of the stamp), of 40 per cent dynamite, and tamp firmly to the surface with damp clay. The blast will cut off the taproot twenty to thirty-six inches below the surface and turn out the stump lu pieces. These stumps can also be blown out wlthoat taking the time to bore into the taproot if a little larger charge of dynamite be placed firmly against the taproot a foot or two below the surface and closely confined with tamping. A convenient implement for making the hole in the ground when blasting in this way is a three inch posthole auger. Careful record was recently kept la order to arrive definitely at the exact cost of explosives necessary to properly blast out pine stumps. Three hundred and twenty-five stamps were blasted, which averaged in diameter twenty-eight and one-half inches; and the cost of explosives, including dynamite. fuse and blasting caps, or electric fuses, averaged only a little more than 18 cents per stnmpL

To load people to the life of independence that can be found only upon the farm, to help eeefcera of healthful country homes in their search for fertile lands that are producing nothing for the lack of cultivation, is to do a service not only to benefited individuate, but to the nation, for agriculture is the foundation of all prosperity, and a happy rural population, healthy, honest, loyal, is the country’s greatest asset.—Luther Burbank.

Hum of the Hive.

It Is not good policy to thin honey In any way—in fact, most consumers of honey like it as thick as they can set It. By some seedsmen sweet clover is catalogued as Bokhara or bee clover. It is a fine thing for bees, as the flowers secrete fine quality of nectar and large amounts of it v A man who knows “all about bees” and does not believe that anything more can be gained by reading bee Journals, books on bees, etc., will soon be far behind the age. Honey is becoming more and more generally used as a food and bolds Its own in price, and with the advance in price of all other foodstuffs there is no reason why it should not bring a higher price. Bees may be fed a sirup in small quantities made of half granulated sugar and half water, either hot or cold process—hot preferred—and fed warm in an Alexander or Boardman feeder. The Alexander is handier, safer and less liable to encourage robbing. The bees should be fed about sundown and about one pint per day. ' The first few flights that the bees have in the spring determined to a great extent their power for the future harvest. The weak among bees are disposed to be imposed upon by the stronger. Oftentimes when the bees take their first spring flights they find hives unguarded, some hives containing honey and no bees, etc., which they at once take possession of. Bees become frantic over stolen sweets the same as some men become frantic over stolen money.. The bees seem to follow the oft quoted law—the survival of the fittest makes the race stronger. Hera fa where the careless beekeeper often fell* down. He allows the bees to rob each other, carrying disease from hive to hive, making an uproar In the apiary, becoming croes end censing had neighbors, etc.
