Secretary Rusk’s Encouraging Report | College “Bays Defeat the Kalorama | Several People Have Team—Coming Games. of the Situation. BOW RECENT CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATION HAS BENEFITED THE FARMERS—MORE LEGISLATION NEEDED — INCREASED EXPORTS OF CATTLE— USEFUL WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT. Secretary Rusk is the first member of the cabinet to compiete his annual report and pre- sent it to the President. Today it is made pub- lie, and throughout the entire length of the interesting document there is not a pessimistic expression. Secretary Rusk looks most hope- fully atthe agricultural situation and indicates the obvions. fits to farmers of certain legis- lation which he specifies. By comparing prices at Chicago for October 16 of 1890 and of 1889 he shows a marked INCREASK IN THE VALUES OF AGRICULTURAL PRO- DUCTS, especially of cereals, A tabular statement of agricultural imports of the last fiscal year, in- eluding live snimals, barley, hay, oate, hops, cheese, eggs, flax, wool, tobacco, wines, &c., the old and new. tariff rates being given for each, indicates # material increase in the im- port duties on these articles and shows each to have been imported in considerable quantities, The Secretary asserts, without ignoring the effects of natural causes, that in ‘ing values it is evident that the economic legisla- tion of the last session of Congress has directly bene: the farmers; the improved val Gare 48 he believes, being largely due ailyex, Jegislation, which, pom influence of Russia and India, our wheat gompetitors in British markets, INCREASED EXPORTS OF CATTLE. Onur increased export trade in cattle and ani- mal products, another cause of congratulation, he traces to the energotic and effective meas- ures adopted for the eradication of pleuro- neumonia and to the growing appreciation at Pome and abroad of the department's ability to suppress or effectually control contagious ani- mal diseases, Asan important step toward se- curing from European governments which have discriminated against our cattle and animal products some official recognition of the immu- nity of American cattle from contagious dis- eases he mentioned the system of inspection established by him with the assistance of the Department of State, enabling American vet- erjnarians in the service of his department to inspect all American cattle landed at British ports and inspected by British official, He declares that not a single case of contagious pleuro-pneumonis has m alleged to exist among American cattle put oe to British ports —_ this action, not, in , since b NERDED LEGISLATION. In the line of further precaution the depart- ment is now prepared to carry out the inspec- tion of export cattle before shipment provided for by the act of August 30. Similar energy has been directed to our pork interests, the de- partment having already undertaken the in- spection called for by the same act The Sec- retary strongly recommends an inspection law still more comprehensive of all animals slaught- ered for interstate or foreign trade. He is con- fident that all yunds for allegations against the purity and wholesomeness of American meat products,or against the freedom of Ameri- can animals from communicable diseases, would be removed by the ations which he could thus enforce; that the government could then insist upon the withdrawal of all such charges, and that in case present discriminations sre con- tinued we should be fully justified in employ- ing the rataliatory measures provided by law. The Secretary asks for greater authority to enable the department to deal more effectively with animal diseases, THE SUGAR INDUSTRY. The outlook for a home sugar industry is considered favorable. A good article of sugar is shown to have been produced profitably from sorghum, varieties of which with large sugar contents have been developed through the efforts of the Department of Agriculture. Analysis by the department chemist of beets wn in various states from seed distributed it sprjng indicatea high per cent of sugar and afford what is regarded as couclusive proof that large sections of the country are adapted to the successful culture of the sugar beet. Practical results obtained in Nebraska and Kansas, he says, demonstrate the feambility of ome grown sugar manufacture. The Necre- tary predicts thatin the near future half of our sugar will be thus supplied, TARIFF BILL INCONSISTENCIES, In the provisions of the tariff bill Seeretary Rask finds what he regards as some glaring in- consistencies in that it gives entire control of sugar manufacturing and bounty payments to a subordinate officer of the Treasury Depart- ment in spite of the fact that heretofore the Department of Agriculture has been charged with the general supervision of the sugar in- dustry, both in its culture and manufacturing phases. of the Treasury, furthermore, to furnish regu- lations as to the importation of animals, the It makes it the duty of the Secretary involving familiarity with the subject of animal at home and abroad; whereas the Secretary of Agriculture is the only officer required by law to be informed as to the existence of animal diseases in foreign countries, and as to the possibility or prob- ability of such disease being communicated to our domastie animals. USEFUL WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT. The Secretary's review in detafi of the work of the department indicates that the year has been one of unremitting activity throughout the several divisions. Some have been con- cerned with mensures to prevent or control the ills of plant etd animal life; others have vought means to promote the productiveness und diversification of agriculture. Large amounts, for instance, are shown to have been saved to vineyardists by methods suggested by the division of vegetable pathology. Valuable dis- coveries rela’ to Texas fever and hog cholera are reported from the bureau of ani- mal industry. Inthe same bureau arrange- ments have been perfected for a dairy division, the establishment of which has been delayed somewhat by the lack of legislation; food adulteration as well as the work relating to the industry has continued to receive tbe Gv oseeane or oe Leora pea operation wit! @ experiment stations has been undertaken on important Hines, including experiments with grasses in the arid regions and the trial of new economic plants; the col- lection of agricultural statistics, of reports of the growing crops and of the probable supply of staple products in the markets of the world forme an important part of the duty of the de- partment, and the Secretary shows how D gai~ a veringly this work has been pursued, and indi- ‘cates means for exten it so as to covers range yet wider than heretofore. Asa pro- tection against illegitimate competition based upon misrepresentation of facts. authentic in- formation has become of the utmost importance to the farming class. SILK AND FLAX. The production of raw silk as an indigenous industry is referred to in not very encouraging terms, though its importance is emphasized by reference to the imports of silk, which have largely increased during the year and are valued for the year at upward of 000,000, but the necessity for favorable legislation, ae well es for im nts in Ser epee , is oo uy our: wi are en reterence to fax. itare, Secre| Cap aa be- lieving that the recent changes in linens will serve to encourage manufacturers to provide a market for home-grown flax, TRANSFER OF THE WEATHER BUREAU. ret esire to widen the present scope of oy tate 80 as to increase its benefits to agriculture.

The Late Hal Dulany. The news of the death of Mr. Hal Dulany, which was published in Saturday's Star, was received with great regretin this city, where he had a large circle of friends. He had been in ill health for some time, but his death was not expected outside of the immediate circle of his family. He had large means, which his generous nature Lape ea him to use liberally in contributing to the happiness of others. His income was estimated to be about $75,000. He was an extensive owner of land in Loudoun and Fauquier counties, Va, The bulk of his pi erty, it is said, has been left to his nephew, the eldest son of Mr. Richard Dulany of Virginia, ae A Liquor Law Case Dismissed. Judge Miller said Saturday that there has been 8 wonderful development recently of the num- ber of bed rooms, barber shops, cook shops and pigs-foet saloons in which demijehns of liquor and cases of beer are found by the police as a means of evading the liquor law, and spoke of the many instances in which the witnesses swear that they don’t have to pay for drinks. The case on trial was one in which William Hauer, a baker and storekeeper, was charged with keep- inganunlicensed bar. Ex-Policeman Ranke said he had drunk whisky in the place and that he must have paid for it, although he could not say to whom he paid the money. It was in evidence that the men in the bakery were given beer to drink. One baker, who dealt with his employer, could not say whether he had to pay for the drinks, Mr. Dumont argued the case and after speak- ing of human nature said the turkey tracks all pointed toward guilt, Mr. Nauck, for the defendant, said if that was the case he would have to judge the capacity of the men who work in hot rooms all night, ese argument Judge Miller dismissed the charg. —_-___ Wants Damages for His Son’s Death.

A LUXURIOUS GHOST, It Abandons Pedestrianism and is Care ried About in Its Coffin. The mining district of Wilkesbarre, Pa., around the Stanton mines has been greatly ex- cited over a very sensational ghost story.which is leading to investigations that may bring to lighta long hidden mystery. Mr. and Mra. Stiebel are a young couple who have been liv- ing at No. 45 Loomis streetsince their marriage three weeks ago, They are an ambitious,hard- working young couple and while the husband works in the mines the wife runs a small candy and cigar store, 4 COFFIN WITH A YOUNG WOMAN IN IT. Last Thursday, between the hours of 11 and 12 in the morning, while Mrs. Stiebel was mak- ing a bed in the front bed room, she heard a noise overhead in the attic and glancing up- ward was horrified to see descending slowly from the ceiling a large black coffin. It came down until it was about two feet from the floor, when it stopped, suspended in the air, In the coffin was a tall young woman dressed ina long black shroud with her hands clasped on her breast and holding a bouquet of flowers, ‘The face was pale and sunken, with a sorrowful but dignified expression. Suddenly the coffin vanished and the figure stood silently before the trembling girl, who sank down heipless with fright upou the bed. OBEYING THE GHOST'S ORDERS. Upon the wall were two chains of spools, such as are made for children to play with, The apparition fixed its eyes on these and ordered Mra, Stiebel to take them down. She obeyed without being able to help herself, aud, break- ing the string, began taking the spools off one by one, When she had acertain number of them the spirit ordered her to take three spovis, burn two and keep one. Still under the influ- ence of the ghost she went down stairs, threw two spools in the stove and kept one. Then the spook disappeared and Mrs. Stiebel sauk faint- ing on the floor. Her husband found her, and after some work brought her to consciousness, After hearing herstory he told four or fiv> of his neighbors about it and q party of them sat up to see if theapparition would reappear, but it did not. BECOND APPEARANCE. The next day the ghost again appeared be- fore Mrs, Stiebel and ‘making her go down cellar, ordered her to dig. She dug four or five inches of earth up and found an old stocking filled with mildewed papers. ‘This she was com- pelled to burn by the spirit woman, who dis- appeared immediately afterward. Mrs, Stiebel still has the spool she was told to keep and the hole in the ceilar is still tobe seen. The neighborhood is greatly worked up over the stogien and there is some talk of digging up the wh8le cellar to see if there is anything else there. About four years ago a family wore driven out of the house by the same strauge experiences, ——se0—~- GASOLINE A MOTH DESTROYER. Treat Your Furs to a Bath Occasionally as a Preservative. From the Pittsburg Chronicle, “What shall I do with my fur cape?” an anxious damsel was overheard inquiring of a ruggist lately. “Ihave been away on a visit and thero have been moths in my triend’s wardrobe, for first I found one little bare place in my capo where there ought to have been fur, and now there is another and I am in despair.” “It is useless to try to find moths in a fur cape,” was the druggist’s answer, “but take a big bottle of gusoline and saturate your cape with it. Then roll it up in paper for a day or two and you will find no more bare spots unless ae go visiting and hang it in the same ward- robe." “But I am so afraid of gasoline.” “Yes, it is dangerous when used carelessly, but if you treat your cape to its gasoline bath in a room without fire and with open windows you are entirely safe, except from the odor; there is no escaping that for a few hours at if least.” Gusoline seems to be about the only remedy which can be applied with dispatch and ‘cer- tain effect when moths are discovered invading a valuable fur — and in this season of fur it is well to bear the remedy in mind. Snrely, furs were never so fashiopable as now, and if you would be in style, at least one fur garment must be found in your wardrobe. And really, 1t makes very little difference whether it is a dainty little Astrakhan shoulder cape, costing from $14 to $20. or a sealskin mantle trimmed with Russian sable, which the dealer assured you was a bargain at $1,000. ict aaa tv eras A Busy Week in Base Ball.
