NEW ENGLAND FARMS
FOUR THOUSAND DESERTED AND
GOING TO Ruth].

Left by the Owner. to Gnu-309:1 Tenants——
A Scheme to l’cpulaic Them \‘o ixh
Needy and Deservlng Persons from “it;
Overplus oi the Great Cities.
There are in New England 4,300 aban-
doned farms, the value of which has
sunk to a minimum, and yearly the
number of neglected acres, once fruit-
ful and the homes of the best and most
patriotic stock in America has known,
_ ls increasing to such an extent that a.
' oracticable and
immediate applicable
remedy is looked for.
Sixty years ago there was scarcely a
vacant farm in all New England, and
there were very few that were not cul-
tivated by the owners. They were ver-
itable homesteads, where one family
had lived for generations, and where
the head of the house was the sturdy,
hard working man of integrity, com-
mon sense and uncommon shrewdness,
who has been passing away for a half
century, and is seldom seen except in
literature and the drama. His successor
is the tenant, with no sentiment to bind
him to the land, and very often his
absence means acres returning to their
original condition, and houses and
barns falling into decay. All through
New England are farms wrested from
the forest by the axe, which for gen-
erations have been gone over year after
year with scythe, and where again the
sound of the ax is heard as it fells the
timber that neglect has allowed to
grow.
Why are these farms vacant? There
are in New England, 235,000 acres of
land, once under a. high; state of culti-
vation, that have been strangers to the
plowshare for years. Why are they
abandoned? This question has been
asked by railway managers who look
for business in the transportation of
farm products and by men interested
in the science of social economies, with
a. view to philanthropy, to which some
profit may incidentally be attached.
“Farming does not pay,” theson of
the sturdy New England farmer tells
us. If it does pay at all, it pays best
on the rich stoneless prairies of the
West, many who have gone there tell
us. Thousands born and reared on New
England farms have taken Horace
Greeley’s advice and gone West. They
left no one behind interested in the
farm. Father and mother have finished
their work, and the children have left
the old homestead to strangers; or
worse, to the elements. Tenants inter-
ested only in the crops have taken their
places, very often a. care-taker to look
after the buildings is left, and often
there is an abandonment, and sumac
and fern thrive unmolested where
once valuable grain was planted,
raised and harvested.
The urban population has increased,
while the rural has decreased. The
daughters of the New England farmers
have preferred to marry city men, the
sons have gravitated to the centres of
population, and the old farms have
been abandoned. They have become
nearly worthless, but none wants them.
The selling prices of land have been
cut in two, three and four times. The
falling off in the rural population has
meant fewer to support, the hamlets
and cross road settlements have suf-
fered, the miller, the storekeeper and
the blacksmith have been, through ne—
cessity, carried by the human tide to
the city.
The beginning of an effort to change
the present conditions has been inau-
gurated by a. realty company, and its
promoters lay great stress on the phil-
anthropic side of their venture.
“Is it not strange," said the presi—
dent of the company, “that there
should be 92,000 unemployed men in
New York City and tens of thousands
of acres of fertile land within a. few
hours’ journey, where honest, health-‘
ful employment can be had that will
give a. hapDY, comfortable living, with
a market for the products of labor
within easy reach? These abandoned
acres should be for these men. Many
of them, with a little money, who are
actually struggling and suffering here,
could be really happy and comparative-
1y independent on a little farm right at
our door, in Connecticut, or a little be-
yond in one of the other New England
States.
“Then, with the country districted
off, a practiced farmer could look after
the farms, give instructions as to crops,
fertilizing, harvesting and marketing.
The doing of this very thing may be
the beginning of a. reaction that will.
draw people from the congested cities
to rura1~ life and pursuits, build up
farming communities and so re-estab-
lish villages and thus bring about the
increased prosperity that we all wish
for and talk so much about. If peo-
'ple once get the idea that this sort of
a. thing is going to happen and realize
that they will be happier and more
independent on the broad acres than in
the narrow tenements, there will be a
‘ush for the country, and the New Eng-
land farms will again blossom and
bloom with vegetables, grain and
fruit!”—New York Herald.
Mrs. Ingersoll‘s Hour for a Nap.
This story was told an exchange by
an intimate of the Ingersoll family.
Very recently Mrs. Ingersoll spent an
evening with a friend. At about 8
p. m. she began to give evidences of
fatigue and yawned repeatedly and
had the greatest difficulty in prevent-
ing herself from falling into a doze.
Arousing herself with an effort she
finally said: “You really must ex-
cuse me, but you know, dear, that 1'
have accompanied the Colonel on a re-
cent lecture tour, and have in conse-
quence got into the habit of falling
asleep at about 8 o’clock every eve-
ning." Which goes to show“ that no
, man can be an oratorical hero to his
wife.
THE NEW PURITAler.
Rev. Dr. Gordon Drops :1 Dumb in the
Camps of OrilIo:luxy-.
Rev. George A. Gordon, D. D., pastor
of the Old South Congregational
Church, Boston, in an address at PIY-
r“outh Church, Brooklyn, on “The The-
ological Problem of To-Day,” judged
from the standpoint of Congregational
requirements, was heretical, and from
the, standpoint of Universalism was
thoroughly orthodox. For some untold
reason this utterance of Dr. Gordon’s
has passed unchallenged. The extract
from Dr. Gordon’s address reads as
follows:
DR. GORD ON.
“The affirmation that God has a.
Christian purpose toward our entire
humanity involves an extension of the
field of redemption so enormous as to
make obsolete, at a single stroke, the
whole theological map of the tradition-
_al view. And what seems worse, while
all clear-seeing men are aware that
this does not necessarily imply univer-
sal salvation, it is true that it looks
that way. If God shall succeed, uni—
versal salvation will be the final re-
sult. This sounds perilous to good
morals and seems to cut the nerve of
all strenuous endeavor! Oh, my broth-
ers, when will Christian thinkers fear
atheism more than universalism; when
will they see that the deepest immor-
ality lies in distrust of the righteous
will of God; when will they awake to '
the fact that only those who believe in
a God for humanity and eternally for
humanity can resist unto blood? Any
scheme that puts God with an inclu-
sive and everlasting purpose of re-
demption behind mankind looks like
universalism, but let us remember
that any other scheme is, in our time,
a royal road to atheism. When we as—
sert as we do so easily the brother-
hood Of man, let us be sure that the
universe, according to our view, is not
against it; let us be sure that there is
in God a universal fatherhood upon
which to found it.” -
The Lady and the Bird.
A million bobolinks killed last year!
Four million other birds slaughtered
in the same year-and for what? That
their torn and distorted bodies might
.be flaunted in the headgear of Ameri-
can woman-kind!
These are no guess-work figures, but
the officia report of the Audubon So—
ciety of Massachusetts. And what does
it mean? It means five million voices
stilled in Nature’s avian choir. Five
million flashes of cheeriness and glad«
ness taken from human life; and
millions of other young lives doomed
to starvation or prey in order that the
plumaged corpse of the murdered
mother bird may be rent by a. milliner
and jammed in hideous shapelessness
in milady’s hat!
Ah! milady, is there no efficacy in
these desolating figures? Is there no
mercy in your heart, no concience in
your make-up, no sentiment in your
soul? Can you enjoy the finest opera
when you think that the killing of the
birds with which you and your sisters
are crowning your beauty is gradually
silencing the grand oratorio of the for-
est and the fields? '
A birdiess country! A voiceless for-
est! What a. desolation it would be!
And yet that is just what this country
is coming to if the song birds of our
land are to be killed off at the rate of
five millions a. year in order to gratify
feminine vanity and keep women “in
style.”
What a grewsome, hideous. con-
scienceless “style” it is that murders
melody and silences the lark that sings
from Heaven’s gatel—New York Mail-
Express.
A Lake That Never Gives up Its Dead.
A very interesting and very Sad thing
about Lake Superior is that it never
gives up its dead. Whoever encoun—
ters disaster—happily infrequent in the
tourist season—and goes down in the
angry, beautiful waters, never comes
up'again. From those earliest days,
when the daring French voyageurs, in
their trim birth bark canoes, skirted
the picturesque shores of this noble but
relentless lake, down to this present
moment, those who have met their
deaths in mid—Superior still lie at the
stone-paved bottom. It may be that,
so very cold is the water, some of their
bodies may have been preserved through
the centuries. “Sometimes, not far from
the shore, the bodies of people who
have been wrecked from fishing smacks
or from pleasure boats overtaken by a
cruel squall have been recovered, but
only after the most heroic efforts with
drag net or by the diver.——St. Nicholas.

SOME POTEIT FIBTS-
Which the NOrwalk Reader
Will do Well to Long
and Carefully .
Consider.
.Man is issued‘ into this world with a
blg cargo of passions, and a full head
of $3.11. It often happens that before
he gets the rudder adjusted that the
hull ls rotten or the sails are in tatters.
As he hustles or passes through this
planet he is subjected to innumerable
cifhculties, morally. physically and
financially, to bring his crazy craft into
port after weathering a gale, to cast
anchor in a pleasant harbor, after rid-
ing out a storm, or to tie up after a
long voyage is always a pleasure. To
dry-dock his ship is force work. J ust.
as long as the old hulk will slip through
the water it’s all right with the pilot,
but one day retarded by accumulations
of barnacles, the pitchy seams opening,.
and the bottom broken from constant
pounding, he is compelled to call at
the ship yard for repairs.
Mr. Thomas Cooney residing at No.
73 Harbor Ave., dockmaster for ten
years, and for thirty years a sailor, is
an example of this. He was forced to
run in for shelter or for repairs in the
fall of 1895. This is how he tells it:—
“When a boy I fell from a tree, strik-
ing a fence. This accident left me
with back trouble, and the life on the
water with its hardships added their
share until I found backache was more
or less a steady thing, coming on from
time to time. I did not understand
that it. came from the kidneys, but
reading that Doan’s Kidney Pills cured
backache I got a box at Hale’s (now
Glendening & Co’s) drug store and
was surprised to find how quickly they
acted. They simply cured me and that
is all there is to it. You may be sure I
have a good word for Doan’s Kidney
Pills, they did such good work for me.
I shall be glad to tell anyone about it
who wishes to know.”

THE PLAN OF ATTACK.
A Member of the Strategy Board Consult-
ed and Movements of Ships Discussed.
VVashingon, April 9.———A1though yes-
terday was Good Friday, the usual
Cabinet meeting assembled at 11
o’clock, with every member present.
The imminence of war made this meet-
ing of great importance, for the heads
of the War and Navy Departments
were required to report upon the final
arrangements for the possible early
outbreak of hostilities.
Commande Barker, Secretary Long‘s
naval aide, and a. member of the Board
of Naval Strategy, was called into
conference with the Cabinet, and it is
supposed that final instructions to the
various fleets of the United States
(Navy were considered and decided
upon.
LEE. KNOWS ABOUT MAINE PLOT.
Startling Disclosures Expected from the
General When He Comes Home.
“’ashington, April 9.—Representative
Lorrimer, of Illinois, is authority for
the statement that General Lee will
make startling disclosures to the Com-
mittee on Foreign Relations, when he
arrives here regarding the conspiracy
to blow up the Maine. ,
It is announced that General Lee will
be called before the Committee, but
the nature of the testimony is not dis-
closed. .
"‘I understand that General Lee is to
supply the missing link in the testi-
mony,” said Mr. Lorrimer. “My in-
formation is that Captain Sigsbee is
in possession of facts but does not feel
at liberty to give them until the per-
son-who gave them to him releases
him from the secrecy imposed.
“That person, I_unde_rstand, is Gen-
eral Lee."

view says:
“Spain must not be alarmed, when
war is declared, if a Spanish warship
is sunk. What we must at all costs
avoid is a Spanish warship striking
her colors to the American flag. She
should rather explode her magazine.
I wish to God Spain'had not a. 'warship
from Cuba. to the'p'eninsula. We could
then say to America: ‘We are here!
