it had accomplished a great deal, and many
of the embarrassing features of the situa
tion had been eliminated.
It was decided te abandon what are
known us the syndicate schools, Including
Mount Jey, McAlllstcrv ille, Mereer and
Chester Springs. The Mansfield school
will also have, te go, although ex-Auditor
General Nlles made a strong speech iu
favor of this Institution. He Bald that 60
of the pupils had connected themselves
with the church during the pest year, and
that the moral Influences surrounding the
place wcre of the best. The principal run
son for cleiiug the Mauslluld school is said
te be the fuel that the boys' dormitories nre
se located that a strict, watch upon them
cannot be maintained.
Hen. C. C. Kaufman, of Laticastci, the
active young IcgMiter who made the
fight against the se-called syndicate last
winter, spoke in behalf of the Mount Jev
school, but his clequcncew as of no avail.

A number of tobacco men wcre seen Iu

report of the Eriiminev last week that the
cropeflsSSwas hugely Inrocted with black

true. Theso who have had their crop of
1SS sampled, and a number have had,
say there Is less black ret in Iho crop of
ISM than tliere was in that of 1587.

Thore tire two theorles glv en by local to
bacco men for the circulation of the rumor
of black ret iu the crops of I.uuchenbruch
and Kchreeder. One Is that these linns did
net get all Iho Pennsylvania- tobacco they
wanted and had the "black ret" story sent
out te scare funnel sand holders of small
packings Inte selling their lssi crop. The
ether theory is that that these and ether
linns who bought largely of Wisconsin and
Ohie tobacco want te depreclute the value
of Pennsylvania tobacco se as te create a
boom for the! Wreslern product.
When all of the lmciister county tobacco
eflbSS has been sampled It will be found
that the "black ret" Is 11 myth, originated
for selfish purposes. Dealers are net at all
alarmed about the future of their isss crop
ami they will net part with Hat lodnced
pilees beciiuse 11 few dealers huve started

a crop as ever was raised Iu Umeaster

sensations, has undoubtedly made 11 wuler

Frem Lancaster comes the alaiinliig news
that tlie 'H9 Pennsylvania seed Is ln(octed
with "black ret," te a very considerable
extent. Attempts ut sampling these goods
had te be given upon account ofthe tee
great piopeitlouot ret In them. Most or
the 'tH Pennsylvania seed has been ite
fiulrcd for expert te replace paitly in
the German market the Ilrimlliiu leal

business will greatly stiller by the dlscov dlscev dlscov

German manufacturer would htitdlv object

may be considered 11 delicacy for the Ger
