In this respect the i record is remarkable, but the explana- tion is simple enough. Because of a bill prepared by the State Forest, Fish and Game department, amending gen- erally, the laws under which the depart- ment carries on its work, which passed both branches of the legislature, the comnuttees of the two houses re- to report ouX any~pf~lhe many game law amendments offered for their consideration, with the exception of a few that were deemed essential. Several of these game amendment local laws, gov- ernor has signed provides for a state game bird farm,to supply the depleated covers of the state. Another bill signed by the governor, constitutes Chapter 19 of the laws of 1909, being a consolida- tion of the several acts for the protec- tion of forest, fish and game of New York state. Powerful interests labored during the winter, unsuccessfully, however, to secure the repeal of the law imposing a fine of $25 upon trespassers on private property. One of the bills awaiting the signature of the governor, makes the open season for grouse and qua>r, Items of Interest from Glorious Gotham. A Gloomy Week of May — Jerome's Jump-—Go*ham Grows—Cowardly Crocks—Base Ball Bent. New York, May 11.—Ten of the most gloomy days that ever chilled the spring spirits of the people of this island have to-day left recorded more cases of suicides for this period than have ever been reported in all the an- nals of the metropolis. In almost a hundred instances the dreary pressure of this sunless opehir»g~ ot iViay ~has driven the life weary to the point of death by their own hands in every sec- tion of town. It is asserted by the j coroners, who are to-day telling of this • sad harvest, that the suicide mania al-! ways varies according to the ratio of i sun and storm. \Suicide weather,\; such as has steadily held Manhattan in j its daimp grasp since long before May | Day, has always been the signal fbr , the police to double their night* watch on the parka and piers, and to-day their vigils have resulted in scores of) suicides saved as well as detected. One touch of spring sunshine is all that: is needed now to save lite as well as \ health in this weather-plagued city. Highly Commends Work of Farm Man- ager, J. J.

This is the cardinal fact, in the situation; it .should be freely realized by both coun- .tries.

An interesting provision permits the governor to suspend the ^hunting law, in case of severe drought.

No more powerful campaigner ever drew breath than this man who is now in the saddle and riding hard, the leaders of both parties admit, and no one of them will venture to predict where this start- ling and spectacular burst of blind cam- paigning may lead him. With his peculiar genius for catching hold of the people, Jerome may become a danger- ous contender in the mayoralty or even more ambitious courses it is conceded. Whatever the outcome may be, every political leader in Gotham will keep a duct and milk the by-product. Upon one section this rotation this year will be inaugurated some lime experiments. The use of lime in New York State is not well understood; our plans are such that its effect will be noted over a term of years. We invite special attention of parties to study our methods of potato grow- ing, which will include care of seed, handling, methods of fertilizing, of soil cultivation, level culture versus hilling, and spraying.

To subject scores of horses to linger- ing agony and final death by poison is the object of a daring gang of crimi- nals whose operations the police of this city have to-day set out to check.

Washington, May 19.—President Taft has become a speed maniac and his friends are apprehensive that he will figure in a serious smash up, if he continues riding at the fearful pace his chauffeur now maintains. Three or four times a week he dashes over the subur- bans roads at the rate of fifty or sixty miles an hour and even when within the limits of Washington City at times, he whizzes at almost express train speed. Although his driver is an acknowledged expert, those interested in the execu- tive's safety, assert that it is but a question of time, when a tire will ex- plode, a brake will fail to work or some piece of machinery will give out. It requires no stretch of the imagination to predict what will happen to a man of the President's bulk if he Were tossed into the air from a flying auto- mobile. Robinson, the President's chauffeur, was formerly the driver of General Bell's automobile, and when employed in this capacity by the chief-of Btaff of the army cared mighty little for the speed regulations. Since his elevation to his present Job, however, he has been hitting*4|^D mpra^atad more each week, until now he drives his car as though he were competing in a Vander- bilt cup race.

When he had finished his education there he went to Rome, Italy, remain- ing there fpr three years. During his residence in that famous old city, he or- ganized and conducted the American Chapel, which was under the patronage of A. S.

There was a great deal of - common sense and uncommon truth uncovered here and there in Senator Bailey's two the '• day's speech on thetariff, epecially state, a big factor in redirecting the agricultural business of this northern country. We can accomplish great re- sults upon the farm as well as in the class room if we can have the combined sympathy, interest and support of the agricultural interests and the business our, jurisdiction. JYrite we continue to build up and maintain a first-class fighting navy. \We Americans are ourselves both proud and high spirited and we are not always by any means far-sighted. If our honor or our interest were menaced by a foreign power, this nation would fight wholly without regard to whether or not its navy was efficient. \In the event of a crisis arising, the peace advocates, who'object to our building up the navy, would be abso- lutely powerless to prevent this country goinp to war. A strong navy is the surest guaranty of peace that America can have and the cheapest insurance apainst war that Uncle Sam can possi- bly pay.\ _^__^__^______ ( Trust Employes Indicted.

In spite of the three weeks of deluge, dampness and defeat wheh have opened the season for the baseball followers of Gotham, more enthusiasm for the national sport is to-day corked up and forks. I use a planter, putting in 1200 pounds of fertilizer in the drill and sometimes cultivating in enough more after the plants are _up to make one ton to the acre, of some good special brand of fertilizer. Drop the seed four- teen inches apart in the drills.and have on tap throughout this tow.n than has rows three feet apart. About a week after planting, before the potatoes break ground, I drive di- agonally across the rows a smoothing drag that has a cleat nailed cross wise ! on the bottom to fill the horse's tracks. This levels the ridges left by the planter and destroys the first crop of weeds. Then in three or four days go over the ground with a weeder. This loosens the ground made hard by the dragging and kills more weeds. As soon as the plants are up enough to readily see the rows, begin to cultivate with a riding cultivator, with the teeth set so as to throw one or two inches of dirt on to the plants, which will smother another crop of weeds. The fourth time the cultivator is used a pair of disks is put on to hill up the potatoes, no hand hoe being used. » They are sprayed four times with bordeaux mixture and bug death. I leave them in the ground as late as will be safe before diggng, on account of been known here in twenty years. Each move from day to day upon the diamonds of both big leagues is earnestly discussed in every corner of the uptown district where man and boy may meet. Sporting pages instead of market reports screen the faces of every wayfarer in the street cars and every stock ticker in town draws its greatest crowd when the exchanges are closed and the ball fields openfor re- turns. Unprofitable as baseball may be for a steady diet, no one has yet accused the fans of devoting them- selves to something worse than Wall Street.

Cincinnati, May 12.—Under the, cap- tion \The Nuisance of the Big Hat\ the Western Christian Advocate, a Methodist publication, of which Mr. Levi Gilbert is the editor, takes a fling at the millinery of the day. The edi- toral says: \It quite frequently falls to our lot to sit in the pews with the congrega- tion, and it is not at all conducive to a pious and peaceful frame of mind, such as one ought to have when trying to worship God, to sit behind rows of hats that spread themselves like green bay trees or circus tents. One feels like taking a shot at them with a hymn book and humbling their lofty preten- tiousness and pride in the dust. '•What are our Christian women thinking of? Are they such devotees of fashion that they must needs haul these unseemly, hideous, outlandish constructions to church with them to make the devout groan and the unde- vout almost swear? It's hard enough to get people, especially men, to attend church regularly these days, and we anything that will discour- m reference to taxes. Taking up the plea that an income tax \would make us a nation of liars,\ he said he would not insult the Ameri- can people by repeating such a charge, and added, \I will repel the charge as an unwarranted reflection. If I should find a~man\who would commit perjury ot escape taxation I would favor dis- franchising him. \Whether Senator Bailey li\ i es up to this high principle, and is entitled to cast the first stone, is not to be considered here; but if we get right down to actual conditions there is evidence that if all dodgers of taxes, whether by perjury in letter or spirit, were disfranchised, the voting population would be materially les- sened. Someone has said recently that if all the property in the state could be bought at assessed valuation and sold at real valuation, the running expenses would be provided for a century. There is no denying that there is a great deal g y preached for a few years in the Pres- byterian church at Pelham Manor. His health being impaired he retired from the ministry and thereafter devoted his time and attention to the management of real estate matters, with which he was interested and concerned in New York city. He organized the Institute of Civics in that city and was secretary of the society and a frequent and valued contributor to ita publications. \Mr. Waite married Caroline A.

Manley, a well-known re- tired Presbyterian minister, died at his by Swiss creditors. The mantle of this company that had covered its wonderful shoulders was now laid away, unknown and almost unheard of for more than sixty years. Le Ray was the agent of this Swiss company and acquired a large interest in it, as well as in other! lands which he sold to settlers as he j had opportunity. Joseph Bonaparte, ' ex-king of Naples and Spain, who had | been driven from his capital by hostile armies in 1813, afterwards bought of! LeRay a large tract of land.

In 1828 the Count de Survilliers (Joseph Bonaparte) came to devote some time to his lands in northern New York; had a road cut through to the lake which has since borne his name, Bonaparte. He had a loghouse built on an elevation commanding a fine view of the lake. A .frame house was erected at the outlet of the lake, His forty years of pastoral work were in Oak field, Boonville, Elbra and Cam- den. Later he was assistant pastor for three years in Boston, Mass.

It is difficult to understand the an- tipathy with which a tax of any sort is regarded by most people, who sub- mit without a murmur to being mulcted in hundreds of other ways. Women have been recently up in arms over a proposed duty on stockings which would amount to about five cents a pair. Yet few women would stop to consider a difference of five dollars between the price of a.hat that pleases their fancy, and one that does not. It was recently shown in these columns that the tobacco smokers and Viewers had been robbed of almost $100,000,000 during the past ten years by the unwarranted continu- ance of a war tax, which they paid without objeection because they did not more difficult for the minister. \It is our solmen conviction that know they were paying it. this, which looks like such a trival mat- ter, amounts almost to an absolute moral offense and sin.\ The Oldest Milkman in Maine.

The procedure is this: A council pre- pares an indictment against the Sultan, charging violation of laws of Moham- medanism, and presents it to the Sheik ul Islam. Thereupon he does the thing expected of him. He . decides that no Sultan who has violated the law in the manner set forth in the indictment can remain ruler. It is a mere formality, a concession to regularity of procedure. Still, the technical power of an ap- pointee of the Sultan's to depose the rular is a curious feature of Turkish absolutism.—Albany Journal. and daily rises at four o'clock, and «at an early hour is on the road to deliver to his hundred customers their milk supply.

In 1871 the Utica and Black River Railroad was completed to Carthage and a name was needed for a station between Deer River and Low- ville. An old resident who had known something of the workings of the old Castorland company suggested that the old Castorland mantle be resurrected and placed on the shoulders of the new station, which was accepted by the directors, and named Castorland in honor of the French enterprise which was started more than seventy-five years before the naming of the sta- tion, so that the old Castorland exists only in name and that a railroad sta- tion. In the years following people settled around the station, building fine houses and manufacturing plants carrying on many industries which have made it an up-to-date village, but it is all a new Castorland, and probably not a single family now living there that was there at the time of the spreading the old mantle over the station, in the form of the name of Castorland.

It ought not to be necessary for any person with common sense to have to be notified of the unsanitary conditions of the home or village sur- roundings, made so by his or her neg- lect, but every effort should be put forth to clean up early and keep clean.
