DA! OF THE MINT JULEP HAS PASSED

No Longer Does the True Southern Gentry Mix Drink as of Yore. Prohibition the cause. ALL THAT SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN GET NOW IS LITTLE BEER AND "TIGER WHISKY," ACCORDING TO MISSISSIPPIAN. Chicago, III., June fi. -The time honored tradition that, the Mint Julep still holds its fragrant reign over the "Kentucky Colonels" and the "Southern gent.'man" was rudely shattered by a party of fifty-five Mississippians who recently Htopped in Chicago on a tour through the North Riven by the M ississippi Bankers' Association. According to them Ihe famous drink which for so many years has tempted the palates of th- people, in '"Dixie Land" is fast dying out. and bids fair to disappear. "No suit," said J. L. Trusty, of Water Valley, Miss., "we all are sure forgettin' how to mix that grand old drink. Our State is rnighty nigh dry now and all we get down yondah is a little beer and "tiger whiskey." The prohibition mov-ment makes ouah private sideboards a necessity. There are very few towns, may hp ten in all, that have saloons." lie sipped lovingly at the brownish mixture and pushed the bright red cherry below the surface where it glistened through the leaves of the mint, like a cigar in the dark. 'You all aren't, quite so fast as we are down yondah," continued Mr. Trusty. "We pet up at five o'clock. Coii'so we all don't have much to do in the 'evenin' ' or what, you call 'afteriuon' up here. Oh yes. we still wear the old John H. Stetson right smart down in our state and we are nearly all for Hryan too. It sure hurts to see the old mint julep go, and the men nowadays don't even know how to mix it It. sure is most discomfiting." And Mr. Trusty gave a gentle sigh of resignation at the deterioration of the present generation who know not how to combine the corn juice with the mint to make that venerable drink once so famous in the South. TOMATOES PACKED Maryland Packs a Greater Amount of Fruit Than Any Other State. Haltimore, June '.- Last year Maryland canned more than two-fifths of all the tomatoes put up in the United States.

Dean's Auditorium Stock company will make its first appearance before n Richmond audience at the Gennett next Monday night. This company, although playing at popular prices, is not by any means a cheap company. The various members are all well known in their various lines in the theatrical profession and have had years of experience in their various departments. Mr. Dean was fortunate In being on the slot when the Lafayette Lyceum companies disbanded for the summer in Detroit, and finding that several of the members of both companies were not averse to summer work, he engaged the majority of the present company on the ppot. The fact that they have been so long associated together adds much to the smoothness of their representa: tions. The company is practicaly one large family, and a pleasanter family could not well be found. Miss Maces the leading lady, is a most charming actress of extended experience. Her last engagement was as leading woman at the Lafayette in Detroit. Miss Ella May Fitch the second in rang among the ladies is also from the Lafayette stock, and adds to a charming personality and fine stage presence, an excellent wardrobe and a charming singing voice. Mr. Harry 15. Sherman, the leading man, although still young, has had an extended experience both in "stock" and "repertoire". Mr. J. A. Sullivan, is another member of the Lafayette players, with whom he was "producer and stags1 director," a position which he holds in the Dean Stock company. The other members of tlj company are well balanced and all are people of experience in their various lines of character. None bettor than Go',1 Medal Flour. Veronica. FURNITURE PACKED FOR SHIPPING.

After a sue cessful search in the Far East for nat ural enemies of pests that, infest Amer-I ican orchards, George Compere, tnto-j rnologist has arrive, here. tie lott in Western Australia a parasite which was reducing the ravages of the fruit fly to a noticeable degree.

By putting the bugs to sleep in India wirh ice, Compere got 100.000 of them alive to Australia, where he woke them in the Australian winter, and the ystarted to work as well as tiey had in India. Three generations of these bugs had been born there before. Comiiere left. He also took to Australia a parasite which swept away the cabbage aphis.

WOMEN MAY YET GEI TO VOTE Movement for Suffrage England Assumes Greater Proportions. in GREAT MEETINGS PLANNED SAID THAT THOSE TO BE HELD THIS MONTH WILL DO MUCH TO AID THE CAUSE ENGLISH WOMAN'S VIEWS. (By Lady Henry Somerset) London, L'ng., June 6. When the National Union of Women's Suffrage societies marches along the South Side of Hyde Park to Albert Hall, there to hold a great mass meeting, demonstrating to the entire world that the movement for suffrage is becoming irresistible, one of t ie most momentous events in the history of the organization will be in progress. This mass-meeting, together with the meeting to be held in Hyde Park, on June 21. is expected by many to" be the fore-runner of success. We want now, and have long been striving for suffrage by constitutional right, but we have not gained a vote. But the coming demonstrations will cause the movement for suffrage being carried on by England's women to be viewed in a new light. There will be representatives here from many different countries and the government may be impressed that, where women from all ports of the world band together for a purpose, there is a determination that justifies serious consideration. There is little doubt that the great meetings to be held this month will be the cause of suffrage movement receiving renewed impetus in all civilized countries.

Although no announcement has been mad1; by the local school board in regard to the reported intention of Daniel R. Kllabarger to resign as prin cipal of the High school, members of the faculty have declared there is every indication to point to the intention of Prof. Kllabarger to give tip his position. He is known to have received :in offer of another position and it is said the new offer presents greater (opportunities than are ro be obtained in his present capacity. Professor John R. Thompson and Prof. X. C. Heironirnus have been suggested as probable successors to Prof. Kllabarger in case he severs his relation with the school. Prof. Thompson has been connected with the high school faculty longer than any of the other male members and he is pointed to as the logical successor. Prof. Heironirnus is principal of the Garfield school. Prof. Thompson has been called upon a number of times to act in the capacity of principal during the absence of Prof. Kllabarger. He has been very successful and a short time ago while serving as" principal had to exercise his authority in a matter that presented a perplexing situation.

Railroad President Hits on Novel Method to Escape From Cares. MUD TURTLE FARM "IT.' Chicago, 111., June 6. A mud turtle farm, which will also be devoted to the raising of mushrooms, gold fish and guinea pigs, is the latest venture of the head of one of the big Western railroads. President H. I. Miller, of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, is the men who has hit upon this novel form of diversified farming as a relief from business cares, and he intends incidentally to show the farmers of the grain belt that 200 acres of terrapins and guinea pigs will pay bigger dividends than even eighty cent corn. The farm is located at Barrington, a suburb of Chicago, and is a tract of rolling timbered land. Numerous lagoons and roads are being dug at various points on the property and an elaborate system of irrigating ditches will be established. The guinea pig yards will cover several acres and will be the largest, it is expected, in the country. The mushrooms will be allowed to grow wild wherever they will in marshy spots and damp nooks in the woods. With the starting of the farm comes to light some interest ing facts about a little known industry. It is estimated that over 10,000 turtles are consumed annually in Chicago restaurants. Some of them are terrapin, but the greater part are mudturtles, soft shell and "snappers." The demand for mushrooms is enormous and several hundred men and women make a business during the summer and fall of scouring the woods along tho "north shore" and gathering the wild varieties that grow there. Others make a living hunting frogs to supply the big hotels and the growing of Belgian hares for market is now an established industry. Car Hierc-.a in China."

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TELLS HOW TO KEEP ROADS GOOD

The Split Log nrag Is Considered One of the Best Treatments for Earth Roads They Are Not Expensive.

One of the latest publications issued by the office of the public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture, treats of the split log drag, an implement which numerous experiments have conclusively shown to be the greatest possible Doon to keep earth roads smooth and passable. Because of its simplicity, its efficiency and its cheapness, both in construction and operation, it is destined to come more and more into general use. With the drag properly built and its use well understood the maintenance of earth roads becomes a simple and inexpensive matter. At the present time there are approximately 1I,h,oxn miles of earth roads in the United States. Some of the most important of these roads will eventually be improved with stone, gravel and other materials. Many others which are equally important,

can not be so improved on account of same manner over tne oiner nan oi lack of funds or suitable materials, j the roadway.

By many it is deemed best to place a strip of iron along the lower face of the front slab for a cutting blade and to prevent the drag from wearing. The drag may bo fastened to the doubletree by means of a trace chain. The chain should be wrapped around the lefthand or rear stake and passed over the front slab. Raising the chain at this end of the slab permits the earth to una pasi uie lace oi ine arag. uic other end of the chain should be passed through a hole in the opposite end of the front slab and held by a pin passed through a link.

Mr. Sanborn said "the least expense per mile per annum for split-log dragging was .$l..r, the greatest a little over Jftl. and the average expense per mile for ,Vi miles a little over .'!., I have lived along this road all my life and never in 4o years have I seen it freer from mud and dust, despite the fact that during the season we have experienced the extremes of weather conditions." The testimony of Mr. Aishton is equally strong. Learning that a township in Iowa had been making an investigation of the split-log drag and had been experimenting with it for a wear on lis miles of highway, he sent an agent to secure information. It was reported that although the town oij tua ,k d and of hJr, two m(,g to operate them, the total expense for one year averaged but $2.4 a mile, and the roads were reported to have bfen "like a race track" the greater portion of the year.
