STAMM
PLAN! IS SOLD
By the Receivers to the Mort-gagors
on Saturday Last.
IT BROUGHT ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
OVER AND ABOVE THE TWELVE THOU-SAND
DOLLAR MORTGAGE.
There is a Mijrhty Poor Show for Peo-ple
With Wage Claims, While Re-ceiver
Murray Doesn’t Expect to
Get Even 66 Cents of the Sixty six
Thousand Dollars the Defunct Far-mers
and Merchants National Bank
of Mount Pleasant Poured Into This
Stove Factory That is Likely to be
Put in Operation Again.
After repeated efforts the Citizens
Savings and Trust Company, receiver,
on Saturday last disposed of the
Searchlight Manufacturing Company’s
plant on the Duncan Plan for 51,000
over and above the 512,000 mortgage
held by Brown Brothers and W. L.
Clark, of Pittsburg, who were the
purchasers and who also paid 5500 for
the stove castings on hand. It is
thought that the new owners will put
the plant in operation.
There is still another asset remaining
to be sold, a hundred or more tons of
pig metal that is going up in price and
when disposed of will bring the total
amount of cash in the receiver’s hands
to possibly $4,500. Of course, not even
that will be left for the creditors as the
expenses connected with the receiver-ship
will be considerable, so that, out-side
the people who held the mortgage,
which was a debt that came here with
the plant, what the creditors will get will
be little or nothing. Even the wage
claims will, it is feared, suffer greatly.
One of the most interested at.endants
of the sale was H. G. Murray, receiver of
the defunt Farmers and Merchants Na-tional
Bank of Mount Pleasant which
institution poured some $66,000 into this
stove plant. Mr. Murray was there with
his claim in that sum, too, although he
is well aware that he will not get 66
cents on it.
Mr. Murray, as receiver, is also a big
creditor of the Anchor Glass Company
whose factory is advertised to be sold on
October 30th by the Citizens Savings and
Trust Company acting as receiver. But
his chances of getting something out of
this financial wreck for the bank deposi-tors
are said to be slim. He has, besides
notes, a mortgage for something like
$50,000 although even that is only in the
common creditor class as it was not en-tered
up until after the glass plant went
into the hands of a receiver.
The bank had, all told, over $140,000
invested in Duncan Plan industries, the
claims, counting interest, being now
about $150,000. The third claim is against
the Acme Lumber and Supply Company
which is also in the hands of a receiver
with ample liabilities. In fact, what the
bank gets from all these loans will
amount to very little in making up the
next dividend for the depositors that
will likely be one of ten per cent, to be
declared earl'’ next year.
PRETTY RECEPTION
Given by Mrs. Joseph P. Keller at the Hotel

SILVER JUBILEE SI ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH.
Exercises That Commemorate the Institution of This Splen-did
Place of Local Worship a Quarter
of a Century Ago.-
THE FINE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE SINCE BEEN ADDED.
Exercises commemorative of the institution here of St. Joseph’s Roman
Catholic chuich a quarter of a century ago were held yesterday and drew prom-inent
prelates and many people from all over Western Pennsylvania and Ohio
who were the guests of the esteemed rector, Rev. Father M. G. O’Donnell,
and his good people who proved themselves royal hosts, had any evidence of
that nature been needed.
The day’s program of this silver jubilee, as it was called, embraced sol-emn
high mass at 10:30 a. m. with Very Rev. M. A. Lambing, of Scott-dale,
as the celebrant, and there was an eloquent sermon by the Rev. Very
Rev. John T. Murphy, of Philadelphia. The service in the church was fol-lowed
by a full course dinner served by the Kuhns, of the famous Rittenhonse,
East End, Pittsburg, whose bill was paid by the local Ladies Catholic Benefit
Association whose fair and faithful members served a nice luncheon in the
evening just before vespers were said closing the most enjoyable day.

Mrs. Wolfe's sisters, Mrs. Kezia Milligan,
of Pittsburg, and Mrs. Edward Bolinger,

Lively Little Joy Bide.
Night Watchman Ed. Davis on last
Thursday night took an auto out of the
Feagley garage and gave a number of boy
friends a spin on the new state road un-til
the machine was wrecked by running
into the bank. None of the joy riders
riders was hurt although the auto had to
be brought back to the shop on a shed
Edward turned up missing the next
morning but is now at home.
There were some twenty-five visiting
priests, headed by the Revs. Fathers Hag-garty,
McDermitt and A. A. Lambing, of
Pittsburg. The last named priest dedi-cated
the church and sang vespers last
night. In the celebration of mass in the
morning Father May was deacon; Father
Cashmari, set-deacon and Father Me-
Garry, master of ceremonies. The church
was crowded.
It was twenty-five years ago ihat the
Very M. A. Lambing, V. F., of Scottdale,
instituted the church here in a frame
building in the rear of the present brick
edifice, conducting it as a mission until
the new building was erected. Rev.
Father P. F. May, now of Braddock and
a close personal friend in his boyhood
days of the present Pope, was the first
resident rector, his successors in order
being Revs. Fathers Dennis Cashman,
Dennis Gallagher, M. Callahan, Nash,
McNellis, Collins, O'Neill and M. G.
O’Donnell, the present incumbent.
While all these priests labored zeal-ously
for the good of the parish, Revi
Father Collins’s and the later regimes
witnessed probably the greatest growth;
lor, it was then that the church and rec-tor's
residence were further beautified
and new buildings erected—the new St.
Joseph's school with its big auditorium
in the rear of the church and the pretty
convent on the opposite side of Summit
street. Cuts of all these buildings will
be found in this issne of THE JOURNAL
and, taken as a whole with their well
kept grounds they certainly make one
of tlie finest church properties in this
county.

HOLY NAME SOCIETY
Ordered Organized in Every Parish of the
Pittsburg Diocese.
Rt. Rev. Bishop J. F. Regis Canevin
on last Thursday issued a circular letter
to all pastors of the Pittsburg Catholic
Diocese ordering the establishment of
the Holy Name Society in every parish
within 60 days. By way of explanation
the Bishop says:
“There is no better or more thoroughly
religious organization for men than the
Holy Name Society. It is a blessing to
the parish in which it is established, by
bringing large numbers of men to the
sacraments frequently, and appeals
strongly to young and old, to men of
every condition, as a means of protest-ing
against the public sins of blasphemy,
obscenity and profanity, and openly
professing the faith of Catholics and
their respect and reverence for the holy
name of Jesus Christ."
Fayette Democraties Bolter.
H. S. Dumbauld, Esq., of Uniontown,
aspirant for the Democratic nomination
for judge in Fayette county last Junet
issued an open letter last Friday evening
terming the Democratic primary a “car-nival
of crime," refusing to support the
Democratic nominee, Judge R.E. Umbel
He calls upon his iellow Democrats to
do the same.

another enjoyable tennis tournament on
the Warden South Side courts Thursday
afternoon. In the finals Jesse Miller and
Miss Viola Stevenson won out over Will
Carpenter and Miss Elizabeth Blackburn,
of Greensburg. The contestants were
then given a most toothsome spread by
President Charles F. Rumbaugh at his
Main street home.
His Friends Quote the Act of Assem-bly
to Prove That There Must be
Physical or Mental Disability Pre-venting
a Judge From Performing!'
his Duty for a Year and Then the
Governor Shall Appoint a Commis-sion
Whose Report Guides the
State Chief Executive With Refer-ence
to Declaring a Vacancy and
Appointing a Successor.
(COMMUNICATED.)
One of the stock aiguments used by>
Hie enemies of Judge Doty is to the ef-fect
that if he should be re-elected that
at the end of five years, having already
served twenty years, he would be placed
on the pension list of the judges of this
state with a pension for the balance of
the ten year term. This is being vigor-ously
circulated among the peopie ot
the county with the hope that it will re-sult
in the election of his opponent.
There is no truth whatever in this
assertion, and it is without foundation,
either in fact or in law. There is no
law in the state of Pennsylvania that
would permit any judge of the state to
voluntarily withdraw at the end of five
years, or in any lesser or greater period
of time and receive any compensation
therefor. Tliese false statements are
based upon an act of assembly passed
on the 11th day of May, 1901, to the ef-fect
that, "Whenever a judge of any of
the Supreme, Superior, Common Pleas,
or Orplians Court of this commonwealth,
by reason of physical or mental disa-bility,
appears to be incapaciated for per-forming
his judicial functions and du-ties,
and by reason of such disability
has not performed such duties for the
period of one year the governor of this
commonwealth shall appoint a commis-sion
consisting of three skillful and dis-interested
physicians, from different
counties of ttie state, to examine the said
judge and if the said commission shall
report tliat the said judge is perma-nently
incapacitated to perform the du-ties
of his office, the governor shall
notify the said judge of ruch finding,
and if the said judge shall resign within
thirty days of such notice he shall re-ceive
for the balance of the term for
which he was elected, daring which he
shall live, one-half of the salary which
he would have received if he had not
resigned; and the vacancy thus created
shall be filled in the manner heretofore
provided by law in case of vacancies in
judicial office.”
The act does not provide for a pension
on account of the age or length of ser-vice
of the incumbent. It purely and
simply provides for mental or physical
disability and retirement under such
circumstances.
It will thus be seen that Judge Doty
cannot be placed upon a pension list.
No mention is made as to the age of the
judge on the bench; and such retirement
could not be possibly made until one
year has fully elapsed after his disability
to perform the duties of his office; in
other words, the act of assembly applies
alike not only to Judge Doty, who is
now on the bench, but also to Judge
McConnell and Judge Steele, and it
would apply in a similar manner to
either Mr. Crowell or Mr. Gill if elected.
This is one of the many canards that is
being circulated against Judge Doty and
it is entirely proper that it should be
refuted in time.
A Cold Auto Ride.
County Controller John H. Hitchman
ran over in his White steamer and spent
Sunday with his wife and son, William,
who are visiting Somerset relatives, and
induced his poor brother-in-law, "Bob’*
Scull, and "Billy" Landis to come home
along that night just for company. Rob-ert
and William were so stiff from cold
that they had to be hauled to the station
the next day in the hospital ambulance
in order to catch a train for home.

Illegal Liquor Selling.
CHARGE BEFORE,
S. E. Porter, a well known druggist at Vanderbilt, Fayette county, W;L
arrested last Wednesday on a charge of having sold liquor without license am
on Sunday. He gave $1,000 bail for a hearing.
The information against Porter was made on the complaint of Vander
biIt people. It is alleged that the druggist has been selling alcohol to men
who are unable to buy liquor at the bars of hotels. Detective McLaughlin
who worked up the case, has nearly 20 witnesses who will appear at the
hearing and testify against Porter.
Porter was convicted a few years ago before Ju l;e I!. H. Pepp rt on the
same charge. He paid the costs in the case, but was never sentenced.

"Sir!” she exclaimed, with freezing

“Give me a kiss.”
“Upon my word. I never before met
such effrontery.”
“That Is quite possible. Neverthe-less
give me a kiss, please.”
“Of all the— You meet uie only this

And yet you hove the conceit to ask
me”—
“For a kiss. Yes.”
“Why, 1 am amazed!”
"There is no occasion for amaze-ment.”
“I am astounded. I am offended.”
"1 thought perhaps you would feel
that way for a moment, but it will
pass over soon.”
“I never was so presumptuously ad-dressed
iu all my life.”
“I have no doubt of that. But do I
get the kiss?”
“For goodness’ sake! I should think
you would have understood my posi-tion
when you first asked me.”
"But you could have changed your
mind by this time.”
“Well, I am simply speechless! Do
you ask every girl you meet for n

“Yes.”
“Every girl?”
"To be sure."
"And do you never meet with a re-buff?”
“Oh, yes. But you’d really be sur-prised

Ten dollars would be penalty

“Iluh!” ejaculated the magistrate.
“You don’t know these city folks. If
this court marked down the fines that
low they would be within the reach
of anybody, and not one of the society

Now I could treat them with sympathy—
Those gowns that button up the back.
Now could I struggle with mien contrite,
Strong in a husband's kind courtesy.
Bravely tolling to get them right—
Horrible buttons! One, two. three.

Queer how they surge through my mem-ory—
Those gowns that button up the back!

COKE MERGER
FALLS DOWN.
The Proposed $60,000,000 Consolida-tion
of Independent Interests
Won’t Materialize.
OPTIONS ALLOWED TO EXPIRE LAST FRIDAY.
It was given out last Thursday by persons in position to know that the
proposed jSf>0,000,000 merger of independent coking interests of the Con-nellsville
region has been abandoned, for the present, at least. It is said that
letters explaining the new turn of events will be sent out in a day or two by
John W. Boileau, chief promoter, from his Pittsburg office. The project
may be resurrected, but not in the near future. Positive declaration that the
talked-of coke combine would not be effected was made by Mr. Boileau to an
official of a Connellsville coke company which would have been a party to
the proposed merger. The majority of the options on the coke plants expired
Inst Friday.

BILL! RIGGS'
By BRUCE PARKER
[Copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso-ciation.
J
During the civil war one of the many
tilings that interested me was the fact
that after a hard day’s march, when
we men were lying about on the
ground resting, the drummer boys
would choose a convenient place and
play ball. One of these boys of our
regiment turned out to be a young
hero. He was known as Hilly, and
his other name was Itiggs. He was
fourteen years old and small for his
age.
No one has ever been able to account
for I lie “blunder” that won the battle
of Missionary Ridge. I happened to
see that blunder at the time It was
made. Billy Riggs was the blunderer.
Our regiment was one of Ibe line at
the base of the rhlge and In one of
the most exposed positions. We were
sufferiug under a fire that we could
not return with any hope of hurting
any one, for we were obliged to shoot
up llio side of a mountain at an enemy
we couldn't see.
Billy Itiggs was standing with the
drum corps looking up the side of the
mountain. Suddenly he made a jump
and, landing on a rock in front of him,
began to climb, in a few moments ho
was sheltered behind a precipitous
bank. There he began to drum like
mad. What lie did It for 1 didn’t know,
but I supposed it was to let the men
know that if they would come up there
they would be under cover. At any
rate, several men followed Billy, and
a number followed I he several, and It
wasn’t two minutes before the regi-ment,
or the bulk of it, was climbing
to Billy’s position.
Hut Billy wasn’t there. Realizing
that there wasn’t room for GOO men
whore he stood and seeing a similar
position higher up, he went there and
stood rattling his sheepskin to let his
comrades know that there was plenty
of room beside him. The most during
ns well as the most chivalrous left
their cover to make room for others
and followed Billy.
By tills time the regiments on our
right and left, seeing our game, conclud-ed
to practice It In their own behalf.
In oilier words, three-quarters of a
brigade were climbing the steep. Other
regiments followed, and regimental
commanders, thinking that an advance
lmd been ordered, took their com-mands
where they saw others going.
Before the general In chief could send
orders to stop the advance most of
the army was halfway up the hill, and
soon after gaining the top the ridge
was won.
So It was that what appeared to bo
a foolhardy movement led to victory
and Is recorded In history ns “the sol-diers’
battle.” The soldier that led
that army was n drummer boy, and
his name was Billy Higgs.
After the fight we men talked the
matter over and agreed that It was a
sort of genius In Billy, of which he
was entirely unconscious, that had
gained an important victory. In other
words, he saw that safety was In an
advance. But the officers either didn’t
see his act or declined to attach much
importance to it.
In time I was given a commission
in the regular army and ten years
later as a major of infantry was as-signed
to command of a three company
post west of the Missouri river. The
day I arrived at my post as I ap-proached
riding across a plain I heard
a sound of drums and fifes playing the
“Rogues' March.” I knew that some
culprit was being drummed out of
camp and put spurs to my horse to see
the ceremony. Entering the gate, I
saw the garrison drawn up in line
before which a drum corps was lead
ing a man with a feather behind each
ear. There was something in his walk
that was familiar to me. X rode to a
position where he would pass close to
me, and when he went by I was sure
I had known him. Halting the squad
I asked ills name:
“Private William Riggs.”
Billy looked up at me and recognized
me. There was a curious expression
on his face, of injured innocence, mor-tification
and pleasure at seeing one of
his old comrades under such distress-ing
circumstances.
“Stop this!” I cried angrily.
"Our commander”— began the ser-geant
in command, but I cut him short.
T am commander here," I said
sharply. And, dismounting, I took Billy
In my arms, pulling Ibe feathers from
behind Ids ears at the same lime.
By Ibis time the officer temporarily
In command of the post, a lieutenant
out of West Point several years after
the war had ceased, came prancing
across the parade to discover who
was Interfering with the execution of
Ids orders. Boeing a gold leaf on my
shoulder, he came on hesitatingly, look-ing
up at me as much us to say, "Who
are you anyway?” and "What do you
mean hy embracing a man under pun-ishment?”
1 explained to Idm that I
was the new commandant, that I lmd
known Private Riggs in the civil war
as a brave hoy and that 1 preferred
to Investigate the case before It went
any further.
The investigation proved that Billy
had been restive under the command
of a man who was Ills Inferior In nil
except theoretic military subjects, an
antagonism had sprung up between
them and Billy Had got the worst of
II, as all rebellious soldiers are hound
to do In the end. Under my command
Private Itiggs became the best soldier
nl the post, rose to la* first Bergen id of
Ids company, and I eventually succeed-ed
In getting Idm a commission. He
fought Indians under me, and. though
lie was brave and cool, lie admitted
that lie inWsec’ the lusplratlnn of the
drum, whli h cannot he used in savage
warfare.

Mount Flnnsnut has within its borders a population of over
8,000; while more than double that number of people live immedi-ately
around about and for them it is the natural center, as shown by
a postofflce distribution of over 16,000. It has both Pennsylvania
And Baltimore & Ohio railroad branches and will soon be given the
main line of the Oolre Region Trolley System. It is completely sur-rounded
by coke plants and has in the town Bryce Brothers Company’s
big tableware glass factory, Acme Lumber and Supply Company,
Anchor Glass Factory, Searchlight Manufacturing Company’s stove
plant, the Mount Pleasant Tool Company. Husband Company’s plan
ingmill, Galley Bros.’carriage factory, foundry, brewery, distillery,
pop plant, two flouring mills, 13 Protestant and 3 Catholic churches,
Mount Pleasant Institute, 2 large Public Schools and 3 Parochial
schools.
There is coal in abundance at the town’s gates and the same is
true of electricity and natural gas for heat, light and power. All of
which things, when taken In connection with the best water system
in Western Pennsylvania, make Mount Pleasant’s numerous manu-facturing
sites ideal.
THURSDAY,
HERE'S WHAT COUNTS.
Orders for 200,360 tons of steel rails,
costing more than $5,600,000, have just
been placed by the Pennsylvania Rail-road
Company for delivery in 1910,
This is the largest steel rail order of a
single railroad since the depression be-gan
in the latter part of 1907. The coin
pany’s orders for 1909 delivery aggre-gated
135,000 tons, and 147,000 tons were
ordered last year.
It was stated that while the major
portion of the big order will be filled by
the Carnegie Steel Company, the Illinois,
Lackawanna, Cambria, Bethlehem, 1 enn-sylvania
and Maryland steel companies
will receive portions of the same.
That is what counts; for, it is only
when the consumer buys and lays down
things that we can expect to have real
prosperity.
October 7. 1909.
ANOTHER FOOD FRAUD.
A Harrisburg dispatch says that Pitts-burg
has been buying sausage loaded
with potato flour, which absorbs more
than its own weight of water, and
thereby defrauds the purchaser. Potato
flour costs only 3 cents a pound, but as
an ingredient of sausage it retails at 15
cents a pound. Agents of the Dairy and
Food Division have been digging up a
lot of samples of this fraudulent sausage,
and Commissioner Foust has sent word
to institute criminal suits in every case.
This announcement may at first appear
as a good joke on Pittsburg; but, if that
city is thus being imposed upon there is
every reason to believe that the fraud
has been put into general practice. The
pure food officials are doubtless handi-capped
at times by political influences,
although they are doing a good work
and should be given every encourage-ment
possible.
and ofleiuling them. Instead of preach-ing
his convictions the minister avoids
anything that might tread upon personal
grounds and lives a lie every day of his
life in order not to offend the influential
members of his congregation.
It was time this reverend gentleman
got out of the ministry; for, he has be-come
disgruntled. Ministers doubtless
have to use a little policy, the same as
people in other professions, but they
should be able to do this without losing
their self-respect as Rev. Mr. Garrick
seems to have done.
Scottdale.
The Woman of Fashion
and the Style Store.
It may seem funny to an
outsider why so many careful
dressers should make Parkers
their shopping headquarters.
To the insiders it is easily
seen that for millinery, coats,
suits, dress fabrics there is
more attention given to the
style note of merchandise
than in any store in Western
Penna. That never was there
a store more courteous in its
treatment or more anxious to
please—these things are evi-dent
if you are a customer of
ours—if not, come and see.

ABANDONED COKE MERGER.
John W. Boileau, of Pittsburg, in de-claring
off the proposed $60,000,000 mer-ger
of independent coke interests in the
Connellsville region, by means of a cir-cular
letter to the different producers on
whose holdings he had options, says:
“This is to notify you that we cannot
at this time accept the option or privi-lege
of purchase on your properties,
such option being null and void after
October 1, 1909.
“In surrendering the rights under these
options we kindly ask the various ven-dors
to bear with us and to keep in mind
the situation, as I am informed it is
quite possible a renewal of the options
or the giving of a new option will be
asked for in case a definite plan is
worked out.
“With good times or bad times pre-vailing,
it should be observed that a
combination of independent holdings
must be more profitable than meeting
competition. The advantages of a con-solidation
are still great, and a merger
of interests should result in order that
economic operation be had.”
There is much of good common sense
in what Mr. Boileau has to say; for,
without doubt a consolidation of the in-dependent
coke interests would be of
much mutual benefit, and the only trou-ble
seems to have been that some ot the
would-be members asked too much for
their properties.
THE Duncan Plan loans are not pan-ning
out right, but Receiver Murray
still has other claims that look good for
the defunct Farmers and Merchants Na-tional
Bank depositors.
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
“The hand that rocks the cradle,” but
there is no such hand;
It is bad to rock the baby, they would
have us understand,
So the cradle's but a relic of the former
foolisli days
When the mothers reared their children
in unscientific ways,
When they jounced them, and bounced
them, those poor dwrafs of long ago,
The Washingtons, Jeffersons and Ad-ames,
you know.
They warn us that the baby will possess
a muddled brain
If we dandle him or rock him. We must
caretully refrain.
He must lie in one position, never sway-ed
or never swung
Or his chance to grow to greatness will
be blasted while he's young.
Ah, to think how they were blighted by
the mothers long ago—
The Franklins and the Putnams and the
Hamiltons, you knowl
We must feed the baby only by the
scedule that is made,
And the food that he is given must be
measured out and weighed.
He may bellow to inform us that he
isn't satisfied,
But he couldn't grow to greatness, if his
wants were all supplied.
Think how foolish nursing stunted those
poor weaklings long ago—
The Shakespeares and the Luthers and
the Bonapartes, you know.
We are given a great mission; we are
here today on earth,
To bring forth a race of giants and to
guard them from their birth;
To insist upon their freedom from the
rocking that was bad,
For our parents and their parents, mud-dling
all the brains they had.
Ah, had they been fed by schedule, would
they have been stunted so,
The Websters and the Lincolns and the
Grants and Lees—You know?

A DISGRUNTLED MINISTER.
Rev. D. H. Garrick, who has resigned
the pastorate of the North Lawrence,
Kansas, Christian church to accept of a
position as conductor on a local street
car line, after thanking God that he is
now earning an honest living, says that
he doesn't believe a minister of the
gospel can lead an honest life. By way
of explanation he adds:
“A minister's wife cannot even make
a pretense of dressing ordinarily well or
the people will think they are paying
the pastor too mueh. If a preacher
preaches the truth he will be condemn-ing
the lives of most of his congregation

THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 7, 1909.
NOTICE TO
BREWERS
That They Must Cease Supplying Ice
to the Public Within 30 Days or
Show Their Authority.
ACTION IS OUTCOI OF 1 LIME KICK.
The Pittsburg Brewing Company and the Independent Brewing Com-pany,
engaged in extensive brewing in Western Pennsylvania, have been no-tified
by Attorney General M. Hampton Todd that unless within the next 30
days they cease supplying ice to the public application will be made by his
department for writs of quo warranto requiring them to show by what au-thority
they do so. This action was the outcome of complaint by the East
Liberty Home Dressed Meat Company of Latrobe.
The Independent company made no defense, but the Pittsburg company
alleged that the ice was made at is plants by the Western Pure Ice Company,
which had leased its plants and sold the ice. It developed at the hearing that
the Western was a new company and that of its 50 authorized shares of stock
but seven had been issued and five of them were held by M. J. Kennedy, a
shareholder in the brewing company, one by John W. Kennedy, superintend-ent
of the brewery at this place, and the other by John F. Malone, book-keeper
at the East End plant.

CORN AND FODDER TIME.
Progressive Farmers Cure the Crop as
They Do Wheat.
All through August uud fnr Into the*
autumn months, according to locality,
the corn harvest will ho under way.
In the south it is called “fodder pull-ing
time.” Wherever corn is grown
the season for gathering it in Is al-ways
interesting. There seems to be
more sentiment in the corn harvest
than in any other. At the same time the
work of stripping corn from the stalk
and in stacking the fodder shocks is
not altogether play. The progressive
farmers of the northern nnd middle
states are more expert in the saving of
fodder than are the farmers of the
south. The plan is simple. They cut
down the stalks, blades and all, nnd
cure them In the shocks ns many farm-ers
do with their wheat and oats.
Many southern farmers have tried
the plan of cutting and curing in
shocks nnd afterward snapping off the
ears and shredding the blades and
stalks.
For a year or two the plan was very
popular. It looked as if it would be al-most
universally adopted. Those who
were fortunate in getting first class
shredding machines and who exercised
ordinary judgment nnd skill In han-dling
the corn crop in this way were
delighted with their experience, nnd
many are still following the practice.
For ten or twelve years the Georgia
experiment station has practiced the
cutting and shocking and shredding
system, and this plan is still pursued
with satisfaction. One or two years,
owing to unusually bad seasons In
m
OOBNHDSKINO TIME.
September (a rare occurrence) or a
little unskillful handling, more or less
of the shredded stuff was badly dam-aged
by dampness and beating. When
sweet and free from damage the
horses, mules and cattle ate it freely,
rejecting but a small percentage.
Work animals and milk cows are
kept in good condition on It, with no
other rouirha're for months at n time
The stalks by this process are out of
the way of the sowing of small grain.
The refuse stalks are not left to be in
the way next spring.
The illustration “Cornhusking Time”
Is the good old way in all sections, nnd,
although It Is tedious, It Is always
sure.
Quality In Farm Labor.
The time lias come when the bar-rier
known as the contract labor law
should be modified so that farmers
could hire the right kind of farm
hands in England nnd northern Eu-rope,
advertising for them in a co-operative
way In the foreign farm pa-pers
or securing them through Amer-ican
consular agents. First class men
could be obtained if they could bo
legally promised jobs in advance. As
It is now, only a few of the best class
care to run the chances of coming
over with no definite prospect in view,
and the bulk of our immigration is
not well suited to labor on northern
farms. Importation of trained, relia-ble
help from northern Europe would
help to solve the immigration prob-lem
and that of farm labor as well.
Sift out the low grade immigrants,
but take down the liars against those
who make the best kind of raw mate-rial
for citizenship.
Value of Cowpeas.
The cowpca is a large beanlike plant
>tmt produces a large amount of for-age.
It is valuable for a green food
or for plowing under for green ma-nure.
It lias been used successfully
for Improving wornout soils, especial-ly
those that are light and sandy In
texture. Its greatest advantage for
this purpose Is Its ability to gather
nitrogen from the air and mineral ele-ments
from subsoil. When the crop
is plowed under these are left near
the surface, where they will be avail-able
to shallow rooted crops and those
which cannot get nitrogen from the
air. it has been little used for hay in
the north, because it cannot be read-ily
dried in this climate, it makes a
good green feed for milk cows be-tween
Aug. 15 and Sept. 15, or it may
be preserved in the silo by mixing
with corn fodder.
Extra Tillage.
Frobably no operation on the farm
pays so well on the investment as
the extra tillage requisite to secure
Ideal conditions. Clods repel the tiny
roots, and vacancies between carry
neither ready moisture nor food.
Sometimes, especially in dry seasons,
the difference In yield between a clod-dy
soil and one open, mellow, with
available food easy to reach and mois-ture
at will, approaches 100 per cent.
Where limbs exceeding an inch In
diameter are cut from the orchard
trees the wound should be painted over
with white lead and oil, colored with
lampblack if desired, which will keep
the wood from checking and becoming
a source of infection for the rot fun-gus.

i am going to walK Dorniy out or
this door," replied Hardy. ‘‘The ex-plosion
will have drawn the whole
neighborhood to the front of the
house, on the other street, and I shall
not be noticed. If I am, I can explain
how I came here, and how I escaped.
I am going to chance it, and the
quicker I go the better”—and he
pushed back the heavy bolt which he
had found by this time. ‘‘Good-by,
my friend, and thank you. 1 suppose
you will rejoin your brethren. You
have saved my life and I shall never
forget it. For your sake, I will say
nothing about what I have seen and
heard this night. The nest is broken
up for the present and the police do
not seem to need my aid.”
The American walked a couple of
squares, then turned sharply to the
right and gained the main street. He
was safe now, and he hailed a passing
cab, ordered the isvoachik to take him
to the Slaviansky Bazar. As he stood
on the walk, waiting for the vehicle
to draw up, he felt chilly and, his ex-citement
having subsided somewhat,
he made a discovery that gave him a
shock and filled him with a feeling of
uneasiness that was destined to pos-sess
him for many days to come.
He had left his overcoat, behind
somewhere in that den of nihilists. He
got into the cab. and, as it tore
through the streets, the wheels
squeaking in the snow, he sat there
shivering, his chin in his hand, rack-ing
his brain to remember, if possible,
whether there was anything in the
pockets, a letter, cards, a cigar-case,
that might betray the identity of the
owner. To save his life he could not
settle this point in his mind.
It was late when he reached the
hotel, and just as the gray light of
dawn began to sift in through the
curtains, he fell into a sound slumber.
It was fully ten o'clock when he went
out into his office and sent for his
coffee. As he was drinking it, Wang
entered in great excitement, with a
newspaper.
“Look at this!” cried the boy. “The
police raided a den of nihilists last
night, and the latter threw a bomb,
killing four of the officers and wound-ing
six others. It was the society
known as ‘The Enemies of Russia,’
made up of disaffected Russians,
Poles, Finns, even Jews—all who hate
this accursed government.”
Hardy glanced at the boy, marvel-ing
much at the revelation of hate in
that ingenuous word, “accursed.”
“Why are you an enemy of Rus-sia?”
he asked.
“Oh, for no particular reason," fal-tered
the boy, turning pale. “I—per-haps
I am not. And the nihilists all
swallowed them up. Not a thing was
left to prove the identity of a mem-ber,
except one costly, fur-lined over-coat,
which proves that this society
numbers among its members some of
the wealthier classes, perhaps of the
nobility. I tell you”—and Wang
struck the paper with his right hand
In his excitement—“that this country
is a house divided against itself.
Leave it alone, and it will work out
its own destruction and salvation!”
The boy's eyes were flashing now
and his cheekB were so aflame with
excitement that the scar nearly dis-appeared.
Hardy gulped down his coffee and
started for the door.
“If anybody calls for me, Wang,” he
said, “tell them that I will be back
in an hour.”
He did return in that time, wear-ing
an exact duplicate of the over-coat
that he had lost the night before.
And still there was no sign of the
police. He felt reassured. Had there
been any telltale letters, cards or doc-uments
in the pockets of the missing
garment, the officers of the law, he
reasoned, would have lost no time in
laying hands on him.
CHAPTER XXXIII.
Hardy Makes a Call.
The Princess Romanovna was at-tired
in a gown of pale blue silk,
decollete, trimmed with dainty cream
lace. Her neck was encircled by a
string of pearls, of priceless purity,
evenness of size and perfection of
form. There was something in the
creamy softness and whiteness of her
skin, faintly, almost imperceptibly
glowing with the warm, red hue of
health and youth, that suggested the
delicate tinting of the interior of a
Bea-shell, or foam shot through with
the first rays of the morning sun, and
the pearls seemed at home with such
a background.
Her shoulders were so exquisitely
modeled that revealment became a
duty and a matter of course. Im-modesty
is the child of ugliness. Her
arms were round and firm and beau-tiful;
when she bent them, there was
no angle at the elbow, or unsightly
projection, but a perfect, graceful
curve, and when she straightened
them out, the skin did not wrinkle
there and corrugate, but dimpled rav-
Ishingly.
As he arose from the chair in
which he sat awaiting her entrance,
iittmy, accustomed to fashionable and
high-bred women, noticed, as she ad-vanced
toward him with welcoming
hand extended, that her soft, light
hair was parted in the middle and
combed low over her broad forehead,
and that the thick, glossy knot, con-fined
in an invisible net, was set low
down at the nape of her neck.
She held her head high and
haughtily as the head of a queen, yet
her red, full lips parted in a dazzling
smile, and perfect friendliness shone
from her blue eyes.
"I received your note at ten o'clock
this morning,” she said in French,
In the most natural way in the world,
as though she had seen him only yes-terday,
“and, fortunately, I had no
unavoidable engagement until 11,”
They stood in the center of a lux-urious
salon, flooded with a soft, rose-colored
light from electric bulbs in-geniously
disposed about the ceiling.
“I was very sorry,” he replied, “to
disappoint myself last evening, and
also to put you to any possible
annoyance in waiting for me. But,
the fact is—” (
“But,” she exclaimed, in her own
tongue, “you are positively speaking
Russian! And so perfectly, too! I;
can hardly believe my ears. It is in-credible!
But don’t let’s remain1
standing here like two posts. Sit.
down, over here, and we will have a
dice cozy talk. I can give you two
rull hours.”
She crossed the room to a low i
divan and seated herself comfortably
an one end of it, among a mass of lux-urious
pillows.
Hardy took his place beside her and i
said, easily:
“The hope of conversing with you
some time in your own tongue, prin
cess, has been a great incentive to
More at Home Than in the Store at
Streyetensk.
cue in my studies of Russian. With- I
cut that incentive, I should scarcely
Cave made such progress as you are
kind enough to credit me with.” •
He was at home now, more at home
than in the store at Stryetensk, or in
the wholesale houses of the Moscow
merchants, and these words of deli-cate
flattery came naturally to his
dps. The princess flashed one quick,
searching look at him. The man was
i gentleman, in the conventional
aense, as well as a hero, and no more
ifraid of a princess than of a Chinese
nrigand.
“3o you learned Russian that you
might talk with me?” she laughed
with a slight tinge of coquetry. “How
perfectly charming! But,” she
pouted, “I fear that your desperate
struggle with the terrible Russian
tongue is but a poor compliment to
my French. Did you then find that
so unintelligible?”
“Not at all,” he replied, “except as
far as my own poor mastery of it ren-dered
It so. But my desire to con-verse
with you in Russian was quite
natural. I used often to wish that I
could understand you when you were
talking on the Amur steamer. Be-sides,
Russian, as spoken by you,
seemed a very beautiful language, and
one well worth acquiring.”
She did not see fit to pursue this
topic further.
“You shall always speak Russian
with me, then. By the way, have you
heard anything further from your he-roic
friend, Smulders? I hope you
have not lost all trace of him. I
should so like to know how his love
affair with the fair but tantalizing
‘Chulia’ came out.”
“Of that I am able to inform you, as
I have recently heard from Smulders.
He and ‘Chulia’ are married and liv-ing
in Amsterdam. Smulders is in
the seventh heaven of happiness.”
The princess clapped her little
hands with Joy.
“Isn’t it delightful,” she exclaimed,
“to hear of a love affair that endB
happily? And I have no doubt that
‘Chulia’ will settle down into a sen-sible,
affectionate wife, and repay him
for all his sufferings. Was that not a
icrriuie Happening last nfght, the
killing and wounding of those poor
officers? The nihilists are becoming
bolder and bolder every day. Only
the severest measures will stamp out
this evil of nihilism. There is no oth-er
way to deal with these misguided
men, who, if they could only be made
to see it, are their own worst enemies.
Could they know how it grieves the

to.”
“May I put my name down for a
small amount?” asked Hardy.
Hardy noticed that the list was
headed “Elizabetha Romanovna, 1,000
roubles,” and that several others had
contributed equal sums. The last
name thus far obtained, and next to
which Hardy must sign, was that of
Boris Romanoff, who was down for
2,000 roubles.
The American was puzzled for a
moment. He knew why this hand-some
daredevil Russian had sub-scribed
so large an amount. That
Boris Romanoff was touched by the
suffering of the poor was a thqught
to bring a smile to the face of any
who chanced to know him.
Hardy was not rich, as we know.
He had saved a few thousands from
his fortune, and his salary and profits
from commissions brought him a re-spectable
income. He held his pen
for a moment suspended, as he re-marked,
looking the princess quizzic-ally
in the eye:
“Your cousin is very tender-hearted,
is he not—quite charitably disposed?"
“He has responded handsomely, has
he not?" she replied, carelessly, but
there was an amused look in her eye.
“But he is rich and doesn't mind a lit-tle
sum like this. Besides, he knows
that I am anxious to make these poor
people comfortable.”
Hardy scribbled his name on the
paper and handed it back carelessly
to the princess.
“But, monsieur!” she gasped, “my
friend, 1 could not accept so much
from you! You have made some mis-take
here!”
He adjusted his gold pince-nez,
looked critically at the paper, and
read sotto voce:
“ ‘Frederick Courtland Hardy, ru-bles
2,500.’ No, that is quite correct,
your highness. I shall take great pleas-ure
in sending you a check in the
morning. You have little idea of how
this cause appeals to me.”
The princess flushed and held the
paper in her hand for some moments
in silence, looking at it.
“The Americans are as generous as
they are brave,” she said at last, in
a low voice. “I shall accept this noble
gift on behalf of my poor people, in
whose name I thank you.”
At this moment a servant appeared
at the door and announced:
"Lieutenant Gortchakov!”
"I regret that I must be leaving you
now,” said the Romanovna; "but stay!
I should like to introduce you to the
lieutenant. He Is a great admirer of
America and Americans. Show the
lieutenant in, Aleko.”
The lieutenant entered, tall, in his
twenties, very slender and handsome.
He was attired In the uniform of the
Imperial Guards. Seeing the princess,
he bowed very low, clicking his heels
together. Then he walked rapidly to
her, and, bending with exquisite grace
and assurance, lifted her hand to his
lips. After which he turned politely
and inquiringly toward Hardy, who
arose.
“Lieut. Gortchakov,” said the prin-cess,
“this is Mr. Hardy, the brave
American, of whom you have heard
me speak. I desire you to be friends.”
"It gives me great pleasure to make
your acquaintance," said the lieuten-ant,
extending his hand.
“The pleasure is mine, I assure
you,” replied Hardy.
“Gen. Catkoff has already told me
of your heroic deeds on the Amur,”
said the lieutenant. “I have been
hoping for some time that I might
have the honor of meeting you. I had
no idea that you were in Moscow.”
Gortchakov was a frank, ingenuous
youth, to whom the American took an
immediate liking.
“I shall leave you two together,”
said the princess, rising, “while I go
and get my wraps. Oh, by the way,
Alexieff, why can we not drive Mr.
Hardy by the Slaviansky Bazar? The
lieutenant has a new pair of white
Arabian horses, which he is anxious
for me to see. I am sure that Mr.’
Hardy can appreciate fine horses.”
“I shall be most happy,” replied the
lieutenant, “if Mr. Hardy will accept.”!
“Oh, I am sure he will,” laughed;
the princess, “if he is sufficiently
urged.”
She left the room, and Gortchakov
began to explain that he was driving
her to a reception, and that the Sla-vainsky
would be on the way. He had
not been talking over a minute, when,
Boris Romanoff entered, superbly
handsome in evening dress. An older
man accompanied him. Romanoff
shook hands cordially with Gortcha-kov,
whom he addressed as “Alexieff,”
and to whom he introduced his com-panion,
Gen. Koukolnik.
He did not introduce Koukolnik to
Hardy, but said to the latter with an
evil, insolent smile:
“Hello, Hardy, how’s trade? But
these Americans are enterprising!”
he explained affably to the general.
“This fellow here is a store-keeper,
who, it seems, is working the Russian
nobility for all he is worth. What’s
your scheme now? Tell us, that’s a
good fellow! You shall have our in-fluence
with the princess—she ought
to be an easy mark, under the cir-cumstances—
eh, general?”
The American paled with rage, but
he looked Romanoff full in the eyes,
returning Insolence for insolence.
CHAPTER XXXIV.
The Princess Commands.
“Being only a merchant,” replied
the American, “I find it necessary to
cultivate good manners to a certain
extent. Were I a prince, I might also
bo a boor.”
"Upon my soul!” exclaimed Hen.
Koukolnik, “but this is a very pep-pery
merchant!” The general’s
cheeks and nose were adorned with
