tho Idea has adopted a policy of util
izing tho services of experts who are
abroad, and of enlisting tho help of
government appointees sunt to foreign
posts. According to a Washington dis
patch he has consulted ' with several
recently appointed ministers and con
uls with the result that they will for
ward reports as to certain llncB of ag

which they are sent. Consul 13uck, the

To enjoy celery perfectly blanched,

man straddles the row, and In each

holds them up till tho other men put

progresses the soil is to be somewhat

handy men will do this work very
lulckly after a little practice. On soils

much ditferenco of opinion among

that celery can bo blanched Just as
well and be Just as tender by tho use
of boards as by the earthing up pro

method 'has the advantage of clean,
rustless, and wormlcjs stalks. For

rieties only should be used.

Ex-Representative Lemuel Animcr
man. who was elected from the
Lackawanna district and served in
the Fifty-second Congress, and who

Prosperity Coming.
The crops this year are not larger
than they have been for some years.
The four largest crops of corn ever
raised In the United States yielded
f3UO.UOO.000 leas than the tour smallest
crops. Not only Is this anomaly true
of eorn, but also of potatoes aud to
some extent, of wheat. ,
The foreign demand for wheat Is ex
cellent. European countries will not
give the yield that was expected, and
the dellclency will be tilled by Ameri
can wheat, which now is twenty couts
higher this year than last.
The price of potatoes Is double what
it was last year. . Corn has advanced
three cents over last year, and cattle
fiity cents per 100. Wool Is a third
higher and sheep has advanced a
fourth In value. There has been little
change lu the price of oats or dairy
products.
The increases in pr-lce will result in
putting money Into the hands of far
mers. This will be used to pay credi
tors, vho will liquidate Indebtedness.
Thus prosperity will illuminate the
whole country within a short time.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture J.
H, tfrlgharu In au Interview.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
of trade says:
While failures were the smallest
ever known in any quarter since 1892
and business payments through banks
the largest by $168,000,000 ever
known in September the speculators
who profess anxiety about Cuba, or
fever at the south, or a municipal
election, still have some influence.
Helping them just now is the fact
that after extraordinary purchases for
replenishment of stocks from any sec
tion or town there must necessarily
be for a time less buying from that
quarter. Yet business is still increas
ing, the productive force steadily en
larges, the distribution ot wages
affords an increasing fund for pur
chases, and the foundations are laid
for a larger business hereafter.
CroD reporters who have widely dif
fered no v agree in putting the yield
ot wheat about sSo.ooo.ooo to 590,-
000,000 bushels, which is nearly 200,
000,000 bushels more than will be re
quired for home use, keeping stocks
as thev were lulv 1. the lowest for
- j 4 .
seven years.
A lame increase in the production
of niir iron, with heavy realizing sales
of lots held on speculation, has caused
a decline of fifteen cents to $10.60
for Bessemer at Pittsburg, though
gray forge there has advanced 25
cent?, and pig iron is stronger at
Chicano and eastern markets. But
finished nroducts crow stronuer, with
a demand outrunning the capacity of
works in operation in many branches
so that delays in delivery are in sheets
and tin plate bars embarrassing, and
in some other branches orders can
not be filled within one or two months.
With many of the iron mills report
ing a better demand, with a number
ot concerns passing from the receivers'
to their owners' hands, ind with long
idle plants being put in operation,

Havana, Oct. 7. Colonel Rotgcr
has been engaged with an insurgent
force at Carmen, this province. The
enemy, the Spaniards say, occupied
Inch positions in the interior ot the
mountains in that Vicinity, and in tnis
manner they explained the fact that
Colonel Rotger lost 19 soldiers killed
and that he, two of his officers, an
army physician and the man who
guided the troops, in addition to 26
soldiers, were wounded, showing, the
Spaniards admit, a loss of nearly 50
men killed and wounded. As against
this, the Spanish officials only claim
the insurgents left one captain and
one private killed.

According to the bulletins issued
to-day from the headquarters of the
Spaniards a Government force has
ambushed and captured a boat haying
on board 207 boxes of ammunition
and has also seized 249 boxes of am
munition, which the troops lounu

The officials of the National Guard,
through, the governor and adjutant
general, have drawn warrants on tne
state treasury to the amount ot $115,
000 for the payment ot expenses inci
dent to the calling out of the Third
brigade and Philadelphia City Troop
for the suppression of disturbances in
the Hazleton coal regions. The $115,
000 represents the cost of pay of the

fads in Medicine.
There are fads in medicine as in
everything else and a "new thing"
frequently sells for a short time sim
ply because it is new. But iu medi
cine, as in nothing else, the people
demand and will be satisfied only with
nnsitive. absolute merit. The fact
that Hood's Sarsaparilla has stood its
ground against all competition, and
its sales have never wavered but have
remained steadily at the top, demon
strates, beyond any doubt, the intrin
sic virtues of this medicine. The new
things have come and gone but Hood's
Sarsaparilla rests upon the solid
foundation of absolute merit and its
power to cure, and its sales continue
to be the largest in the world.

Remarkable Claim Against a Favored Son in
a Will Case.
The preliminary steps to the organ
ization of a great combination of
Pennsylvania breweries, with the title
of the Central Pennsylvania brewing
company and an enormous capital,
was taken at a meeting held in Phila
delphia on Friday.
The firms concerned therein are
Casey D. Kelley, E. Robinson & Son,
M. Robinson & Son, the Lackawanna
brewing company and the Michael
Hand brewing company, all of Scran
ton ; the Reichard & Weaver brew
ing company, of Wilkes-Barre ; the
Hazleton brewing company, of Hazle
ton ; the Hughes brewing company
and the Hughes & Glennon brewing
company, of Pittston ; the Hartung
brewing company, of Honesdale ; the
Krautex brewiug company, of Car-
bondale, and the Dixon brewing com
pany, of Dixon. The capital will be
$10,000,000.
To day's meeting was attended only
by the attorneys who arranged the
legal details of the consolidation and
looked over the titles to the plants
and properties of the various brewer
ies, all of which, according to the
plan, are to be transferred to the
general company. Another meeting
will be held later when the brewers
will be present to sign the contracts
and give official approval to the plan.

It used to be tho fashion to recorn
tnent poultry keeping n just the one
thing tor invalids. In these later times
we read thlnzs like this: "We must
caution tho invalid, as we would tho
lazy man or woman, to keep out of the
poultry business. We know of no busi
ness which is bo exacting In its re
Quirements, nor whleh demands longer
hours, nor closer application." Isn't
the-ie a middle ground somewhere?
And Is not the fact that those in the
business en trace so small an amount ot
help partly responsible for the long'

ra., was taken to Doylestown on
Thursday by Constable Burgstresser
on a process issued by Coroner Kuns
man, charged with "unlawfully caus
ing the death of H. Oscar Home, a
youth aged 18 years, of near that
borough. The charge is virtually one
of involuntary manslaughter, and is
the result of the finding of the Coron
er's jury in investigating the death of
young Home, who was found dead in
his father's barn on Sunday morning,
September 19.
The testimony showed that Home,
with several young companions, had
been drinking heavily the night be
fore at a hotel in Richlandtown,
where the deiendant tended bar, and
the post-morlem showed he had died
of acute alcoholism. Judge Yerkes
held Kline in the sum of $acoo to
appear at the December term of
Court.
A contest has arisen over the will
of Thomas R. Morgan of Canton, O.,
whose estate is placed at something
over $1,000,000. Three sons were
made beneficiaries to the extent of
one-twenty fourth each of the estate.
Another son was given ten-twenty-fourths.
It is charged by the three sons and
o;her heirs that the favored son used
some hypnotic influence over Mr.
Morgan, which induced him to give
him more than his legal share. It is
known that the son favored has fre
quently exercised mesmeric power
over the others, and the contestants
of the will set up the claim that such
power was used on the decedent.
Morgan and President McKinley
were ultimate friends. The president
was about to make public appoint
inert to a Consulate for which Mr.
Morgan had been chosen when death
suddenly came.
