Circumstances are different. \The Russians have a real reason to revolt against the old bureaucracy. There have been executions of royal personages in Petrograd. There will be executions. But they are in .a measure justified. Some, and most, of those in the French Revolution were not. Notable among the excep- \ tions was the death of the Duke of Orleans. ' He deserved what he got.

There may be doubt about what action some of the white people in this country would take in the event of war with' ‘any foreisn power. There is no doubt, there never has been any as to what the negroes will do. They will fight for the one and only flag they know. They have done 80 before. They will do s0 again. There is hardly any need for the colored men of the South, or the East, or the West, or the North, to pledge their loyalty. Whatever personal an- tipathy there may be held against them their bitterest enemies will readily grant that they are first, last and all the time ready ana willing to do their bit in the upholding of Old Glory. 3 And yet, there is no man in the South, about which many appre- hensions are harbored, who will not readily come to the defense of the in- dividual negro, what though he might condemn certain classes of the race. Without calling upon white men to state the true motives that prompt the hearts of negroes at this time, one of their own has stepped to the plat- form and pronounced the keynote of lovalty as it is known among the negroes. This leader of his race, a nephew of the late Booker Washing- ton, is hailed by “Marse” Henry Wat- terson, the dean of American jour- nalism, as the true orator of the colored people. Roscoe Conklin Sim- mons is the name of this young negro. At a recent gathering of his people in Louisville he delivered “him- self as follows: “We have a record to defend, but no treason, thank God, to atone or explain. While in chajns we fought to free white men—from Lexington to Carrizal—and réturned again to. our chains. No megro has ever in- sulted the flag. No negro ever struck down a president of these United States. No negro ever sold a mili- tary map or secret to a foreign gov- ernment. No negro ever ran under fire or lost an opportunity to serve, to fight, to bleed and to die in the re- public’s cause. Accuse of what' you will—justly or wrongly—no man can point to a single instance of our dis- loyalty. “We have. but one country and one flag, the flag that set us free. :Its language is our only tongwe, and no hyphen bridgés or qualifies our loy- alty.

Potatoes were first .introduced into | this vicinity in- 1720, but. it was near- ly one hundred years before they were -extensively used. Mr. 'Miner Smith,- of Harwinton, Conn., carried on the wagon making business there from 1815°to 1831.. Oneé year, during that time, he raised. four or five bushels of A potatoes. . His contract ‘with his apprentices required them to eat potatoes as he served them for one meal each week at his table. This they considered a hardship as potatoes were so little used then that | they had not become accustomed to them. 5 In 1845 the potato rot came so sudden and was so general that it caused heavy losses to farmers and in Ireland, where the rural £ ‘depended largely on potatoes for food, the sudden failure of the crop brought with it severe famine ahd- distress. The disease had before appeared to @ lesser extent‘on both continents. During the California gold excite- ment, about 1849, the miners there were afflicted with a disease called | [ land scurvy. It was cured by eating raw potatoes,” for which the miners sometimes pald as high as $1.00 for a single potatoi About 1859 or. 60, the potatos “byg began its ravages in Colorado,sahg.An - fitteen vears it spread to ;ll ‘the: potato growing re- glons of the United States. The ex- pense of combating the potato rot and the potato bug had a tendency to ad- vance the price of pbtatoes, but in the year 1869 the potato crop of the United States was 146,736,000 bushels at an average price to the grower of 531 cents per bushel. In that year Connecticut produced 2,500,000 .bush- els, valued at 63 cents per _bushel New York raised the most of any one state, its crop amounting to 28,500, 000 bushels valued at 51 cents per bushel. The wholesale prices in New York city varied greatly from month to month. In January 1869, the prices were from $1.50 to $3.50 er bushel. In June the prices for ‘0ld potatoes were from $1.00 to $1.50 while new potatoes in July brought from $4.00 to $10,00 per bushel but dropped down to 88 cents in August. From 1879 to 1888 inclusive, the low- est value placed on the potato crop for any one year was 40 cents per bushel in 1884, and the highest was 91 cents per bushel in the year 1881. The largest crop reported for any one year was the crop of 1883, amounting to 208,167,426 bushels. In 1891, a much larger crop was reported. The Spanish or sweet potato, Ba- tatas edulils, has been so long culti- vated, in various countries, that it is difficult to determine its precise orig- in. It was found in usé by the Indians of Braril in 1519 and was soon after- wards carried to Spain. 1t was well known in England for a considerable time before the introduction there of the common potato. In Java, the tu- bers sometimes attain the enormous weight of fifty pounds each. They are now sold in. New Britain for ten cents per pound, which would make one of these giants worth $5.00. Dioscorea is the typical genus of the order of yams which are often sold here under the name of sweet potatoes. They are used largely in various tropical countries and & vary greatly in size and color, some attain- .ing a length of two or three feet. One specieg, Dioscorea batatas, froonChina and Jdpan, has been cultivated in England but not very largely as the tubers penetrate so deeply into the earth that they are hard to dig. The tubers of the Helianthus tuber- osus were formerly cultivated and used largely, both here and abroad. Tt is a native of Brazil, but is perfectly hardy in New England. It was dis- tributed from the Parnese garden at Rome, under the name of Jerusalum Artichoke, soon after its introduction into Europe in 1617, The tubers are used either boiled and mashed with butter, or baked in. pies, and when nicely cooked are not oniy well fla- vored but are considered to be hoth wholesome and - nutritious—more so even than the potato, as they may be eaten by invalids when debarred from the use of other vegetables. On the Continent they are in considerable demand for soups, and before the po- tato became plentiful, they were, good deal in use in England. Parkin- son, writing in 1629, states that they were then so common in London “that even the vulgar began to, despise them; they were baked in pies with marrow, dates, ginger, sack, etc., and being so plentiful and cheap, rather bred a loathing than a MWking for them.” As the culture of thé potato extended it gradually displaced the Jerusalum Artichoke, which is but little grown at the present time. Other plants are used in various coun- tries as we use potatoes, and in New Zealand they so use the roots of an orchid, which they call Peri and which is known botanically by as Gastrodia Cunninghamii. The Micmac Indians of Nova Scotia use the tubers of the ground nest, Apios tuberosa as an es- culent. CAMERA CLUB BANQUET. Annual Event Will Takc Place in Murray’s Studio.

Pathetically, with tear-dimmed, eyes and a voice that broke down un-. der the pressure of strong emotion, Mrs. Hilda Bewles of 14 Lilac stre;'. pleaded .guilty before Judge James T. Meskill in police court today, to the theft of many valuable sweaters from the American Hosiery company, where she has been employed, and related how difficult she has found it to pro- vide for herself and two children on her meagre wages. Admitting that she knew the thefts were wrong, she contended that she never woi:ld have adopted this course hit. for”/cncour- agement from one who is charged with receiving the stolén. goods and the thought that her children would suffer want, unless she could get sqme financial aid other than that of her wages. Charged with the theft of the sweaters, ‘estimated at ‘about thirty- two in number and: valued at $5 each, probable cause was found and she was held for'the June term of superior court undei bonds of $700. Charged with receiving stolen goods and alleged to have been the “fence” through which Mrs. Bowles disposed of her loot, Michael Garfinkle, ped- dler, of 50 Whiiting street, was ar- raigned and Keld for a hearing Wed- nesday under bonds of $200. Judge B. F. Gaffney was his counsel. The arrest of Garfinkle and Mrs. & Bowles is due to the clever work of Policeman Dennis Nealon. Early vesterday morning, Miss Klsie Q. Os- | born, superinterfdent of the Charities Organization . society, received 'notifi- cation to the effect that two children were suffering at the Lilac street ad- dress from want of the necessities of life. Policeman Nealon was detailed to accompany hef in ‘the investiga- tion. John Bueom, aged eltht. and Vera Bowles, aged fourtéen, were found at the address. According to their story, Mrs. Bowles, their mother, left them Saturday afternoon and was away all night. They did not know her where- abouts or as to when. she would re- turn. Investigation showed that there was no food in the house. There was a fire so that the children. were not suffering from cold. They.were taken to the town farm for temporary keeping. In court today it was stated that the children would be looked af- ter bw the authorities. In looking about the rooms, Police- man Nealon came on a bundle of the sweaters on the bed, apparently done up with the intention. of being taken away. He was suspicious and, accord- g to the story of the authorities, was informed that,a man had been seen at the house previous!y and that he had a bundle when he left. Police headquarters was informed of the sus- picions and Policeman Nealon direct- ed to keéep close watch of the house. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Bowles returned to the house, saying that she had been in Hartford over night. She testified in court today that when she left the house, sufficient provisions were made so that the children would not suffer while she was away. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Garfinkle visited the house and was !arrested by Policeman Nealon. Under cross-examination by Prose- cuting Attorney, Mrs. Bowles testified that she knew her conduct was Wrong, | that she never would have donme fit, i had she not been encouraged, and tes- { tified that she disposed of the stolen articles to Garfingle. Assault on Young Girl. Under a finding of probable cause, ‘Wiladyslaw Kopcycinski, aged thirty, of 54 Broad street, was held for the June term of superior court under bonds of $1,000 by Judge James T. Meskill in police court today charged with indecent assault upon twelve- l year-old Rose Cremiewski of the same 1 address, daughter of his landlady. The testimony was of an unprintable type. |The accused was arrested by Sergeant W. C. Hart and Policeman George { Moffitt. He entered a plea of guilty {and, it was testified, confessed to the | charge when arrested. Tt was testified | that he took undue liberties with the | girl while her mother was absent at a nearby store. The mother entered the complaint upon returning to find her daughter in tears and greatly agi- tated. Kopcycinskli has a wife and ! family in the old country. He admits - having been arrested previously in Bridgeport. Michacl Gurka and Frank-Chesanek of 45 Farmington,avenue were fined $10 and costs each for breach of the peace, Michaeli Nich of 406 Muyrtle street was discharged from a similar charge and John Pompa of the same address was freed from charges of breach of the peace and assault. Their arraignment was a result of a free- for-all fight on Curtis street early yes- terday morning that was broken up by Supernumerary Policemen Frank R. Hahn and Wallace F. Richardson! and Policeman Hanford W. Dart. Six were originally in the fight, two escap- ing prior to the arrival of the police. It was testificd that the feud had been brewing for some time and came to a climax early yesterday morning wheny the six, three of each fagtion, met. During the melee, one of the partici- pants took a senrchllght from - his. . pocket, the others mistaking it for a revolver and spreading: that report. WILL HEAR DR. PARKER.
