But Rogers said he didn't coxa about that He was not charged with the support of anybody. He had paid his men the wages they contracted to work for and he was not in debt to them or their families.

The works were his own, and he would close them if he wanted to. And he did. A committee of citizens was appointed by a mass-meeting- to call on him and request him to sell. He readily agreed, and told them to make an offer. They answered that they did not wish to buy.

"Oh," said Mr. Rogers, "I thought you did. Why otherwise do you want me to sell?" "For the sake of the city," they said. "The city's nothing to me," he answered. "What do I care about the city?" Then it was that Paterson regretted having been mean with the looomotlve-maker.

After some dickering Mr. Rog-' ers fixed conditions on which he would sell, and these conditions were impossible. Some time ago he asked for a receiver, and this official sold the works for $000,000. He had his revenge, however, by closing the works and keeping them closed a long time. Mr.

Rogers had a magnificent park surrounding his Paterson home. Located In the heart of the city almost, he refused to sell an acre of the place, which was immensely valuable. At Pompton he owned a stock farm, where he manufactured fine butter, which he sold for forty cents a pound. Was Never Married. and generated a race antagonism which at times has been bitter and hurtful to both races Political power Id now looked on by the black man as an illusive dream, and, after thirty-six years of disappointment, he has at last turned his thoughts and energies into more wholesome and profitable channels.

While I see (or think I do) the dawn of the coming day of the new era of the South. I realize that it will be a disappointment to many of the old families of the South, who look with doubt and mfsgiving on all innovations. The great West Is fast filling up with the overflow from Europe and the older States, professional pursuits are growing less tempting every year, and tha young men of the North who have been brought up on poor rocky farms and taught to work, finding the lands of the North too dear to begin life on. will colonize in the South on large bodies of its best lands, and by cooperative methods establish new hive3 of industry, which will awake the fair Goddess Ceres from her slumbers to transform the wilderness Into a garden of wealth and beauty. The lands of the South, especially those in tide water, are very cheap, running from $5 to $20 per acre, according to improvements.

They are easily tilled, susceptible of high cultivation, and are near good markets, with which they ere connected by water as well as rail transportation, and will produce all of the vegetables, cereals, plants and fruits found in the north temperate zone. Much of this land is still in It primeval virginity, and the timber growing on it, if laid down in Philadelphia or New York, would more than pay the cost of the land, together with the expense of clearlng'the- timber off; yet the most of this land Is now Idle and is the home only of wild deer and wild turkeys, while the rivers and bays are filled with the very best of fish and oysters. Scientific farming Is an honorable pursuit, and as a business far more lucrative than peddling pills or encouraging litigation among neighbors. Farming has never been conducted in the South on scientific principles, for the farm has always been worked as a mine everything dug out of it and carted off, and nothing put back and under such treatment the farms have been exhausted, and as the soil grew thinner and thinner, more and more acres were put under the pkyw, so that by increasing the area the sum ot the yield could be maintained. This plan has been carried to such extremes that more acres are put under the plow than can be worked, and soon the fields become so foul that they have to be abandoned and new fields are cleared at a heavy labor expense, which are taken through a like experience as the first, when they are also turned out, and thus the process goes on and on without enriching the iarmer.

but wearing out and impoverishing his land. It is safe to say that throughout the Southern States not more than 10 per cent, of the land Is cleared, and not more than 5 Fer cent, of the cleared land Is and in cultivation. The treeless prairies of the West offer no such inducements to the emigrants or the industrious young agriculturist as are found all over the South, and now is the time for their acquisition. Should the Northern boys begin to colonize in the South, then the Southern boys will see the folly of leaving home In search of lucrative employment, and then farming will become fashionable and the South become prosperous, populous and potent IK? h- Rcsser, Major General, C. S.

4 Brfsradler General, V. S. 3SJS-1S99. in a letter to New York Herald. Why do we so often hear the question asked, "What is the future of the South?" The South is a part of the United States, and why should its future not be so inseparably connected with that of the nation as to make such a question wholly Incongruous? Yet the like Banquo's ghost, will not down and confronts us at evwry move we make, politically, religiously, commercially, industrially, materially and socialy; hence I repeat the question, Is the future of the South? To answer this question let us first consider the present of the South.

There Is no disguising the fact that the material growth of the South is not keeping up and abreast with that of the North and Is languishing. The growth ot the Northern States Is like the flow of a full flooded river In its current float the material and the nourishment for a growing empire, while the South is in an eddy, and but little goes her way. The climate, soil, scenery and health of the South are not surpassed by those ot the North; indeed, if there is a difference It is In the South's favor, and in the abundance and variety of its products ithe South is unquestionably ahead of the North. Then the problem is. What should the South do In order to turn the tide of prosperity to her deserted but hospitable shores? The South is essentially agricultural, and in the judicious cultivation of her soil lies all her hopes.

Almost every farm in the South has timber enough on It to keep the buildings and inclosures in repair, as well as to supply an abundance of fuel. The lands are either fertile or susceptible of fertilization by proper manuring, and by a Judicious application of such composts as can be easily prepared on every farm a few acres could be enriched every in a short time the whole farm could be put in a highly fertilized condition, and rendered capable of abundant and profitable production. Lands In the South being very cheap, the thrifty and Industrious colored man early acquires a home and sets up for himself, and thus the best of the colored laborers are withdrawn from. the army of "day hands" which Is growing less In numbers and less" efficient from year to year. The young white boys, after struggling hard to acquire an education, either seek a profession, In which they eke out a bare living, or If unwilling to drag a weary life along the Blow trail of poverty, they go West or North, where the hum of busy and progressive enterprise offers a field In which Intelligence and energy are at a high premium, and where "push" is invariably rewarded by success.

While this emigration of young men depopulates the South, impoverishes the stamina of industry and induces decay and thriftlessness. which breed despair In the South, the North and West thus receive most valuable recruits. As long as the negro was tampered with by designing politicians he was kept In a constant fever of political expectancy In a waiting position but In Its vagueness It was fascinating and alluring; and this lust for political power, though unattainable, yet apparent-, ly within the pale of political posslblli-' ty, kept the colored man from work, filled the towns and villages with restless tramps, the jails with the vicious THE HALDEMAN THE WIND DIES OUT.

HART AND CARTER. ILight Heavyweights Matched To Box Before Clnb Making Best Offer. ARVIX HART, the local box- er. and "Kid" Carter, of Brooklyn, were matched yes-A. i.

terday to box twenty rounds, according to straight Marquis of Queens-berry rules, before the club offering the Jjest inducements. The Monarch Athletic Club, of this city, yesterday made an offer of 65 per cent, of the gross gate receipts, with a guarantee of Si, 000 for the the contest to take place here August 25. the night twfore the opening of the Triennial Conclave. Up to a late hour last night the offer had not been accepted, but the chances are it -will be. as this Is the best Inducement the boxers could hope to get.

However, it is a question whether the contest could take place In Louisville, In view of Mavor Weaver's recent ruling, when he stated that the boxing game tiere was at an end. because of the rough house Dave Sullivan was responbie for pome months ago. If- Carter and Hart were to meet here -the contest would undoubtedly draw a large house, as both are well known to 'local fistic patrons, and it is a question as to which would be returned the winner. Carter recently lest his fight to Root, at Ban Francisco, on an alleged foul, and his friend declare he did not get what was coming to him.

Chicago, July 10'. Jolm A. Hinsey was ordered to-night by the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias to appear before that body and ehow cause why he should not be expelled. This foilon-3 as a direct result of the alleged Irregularities which the new-management of the endowment fund has found in the books under his twelve years' administration as President of the Board of Control. The Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias adopted by a vote of 130 to 1 the report of the Supreme Chancellor, with all its criticisms of Mr.

Hlnsey's management, and ordered it published as an official record of the condition of the endowment rank. Explanation Not Accepted. Mr. Hinsey, the central figure in all the trouble, talked three hours before the Supreme Lodge, but his explanations did not satisfy his judges. Congressman James E.

"Watson, of Indiana, moved that Mr. Hinssy should be or-dered'to appear and chow cause why he should not be expelled from the Supreme Lodge. Mr. Hinsey has tried to forestall this aotion by sending in his resignation as a member of the Board of Control of the Endowment Rank. This resignation was laid on the Then the debate on the rule to ex-pell began.

There was no one to defend Mr. Hinsey but himself. All wanted his expulsion apparently, but many delegates argued that the Supreme Lodge could not expell a member without a trial in the constituted court of the order. It took until late to-night to decide this point. Will Preserve Endowment Bank.

Though 1500,000 of assets are in bad condition, and though the rank Is almost $500,000 behind hand in the payment of death claims, the Supreme Lodge does not propose that it shall lose standing because of the trouble that has been disclosed. Already by a unanimous vote of thp lodge on a second reading, an order has been made that in the future no investments shall be made save by the written order of Ave out of the seven members of the Board of Control of the rank. This will be formally adopted to-morrow, and no one-man management will be possible In the future. In addition to this, a resolution is being considered to raise the rates of payments on insurance about 5TT per so that more funds will be provides to meet death claims, and enough in addition to make good the losses and create a surplus in the future. May Assess All Knights.

If this additional burden on beneficiaries of insurance policies shall not be enough, the Supreme Lodge will also consider a plan to assess all Knights Pythias fifty cents or one dollar each for the benefit of the rank. The lower assessment on 500,000 members would bring in 5250,000. This money would not be paid by the Pvthians, but would come from the $4,000,000 of reserve cash and bonds held by the grand lodges, subject to the orders of the Supreme Lodge. The Supreme Lodge has over $10,000,003 of property altogether, and is responsible for all obligations of the Endowment Rank. Admits the Bad Investments.

Mr. Hinsey admitted the report submitted yesterday to be true. This report showed that of $500,000 Invested under Hir.sey's direction, nearly two-thirds went into enterprises which len-dered them unavailable to pay death claims. Other funds went Into channels for which there no accounting. To reporters Mr.

Hinsey said: "My conduct of the office was perfectly open and aboveiboard. The investments were good and legitimate and all will turn out O. mM Bal Estate Transfers.

Preliminary returns to the statistician of the Department of Agriculture on the acreage of corn planted indicate a reduction of a.bout 400,000 acres, or 5 per cent, from "the area planted last year. The average condition of the growing crop is 81.3, as compared with 89.5 on July 1, 1900; S6.5 at the corresponding date in 1899, and a ten-year average of 90.3. Tha oondttlon in Nebraska. Is 83, In Illinois and In Iowa 87, in Kansas 74, In Missouri 70 and in Texas 64. In eajdh of the twenty-two States first above referred to, except In Mississippi, Virginia and South Dakota, where the conditions represented by 88, 82 and 89, respectively, correspond with their ten-year averages, the condition a little below such averages.

Chicago. July 10. Not since the establishment of the Weather Bureau has this city experienced such terrific heat as affected it to-day. One hundred and two in the shade in the office of the "Weather Bureau was the high record, the highest previous mark being July 16, 1SS7, when was reached. To-day 102 in the shade was.

however, the easiest part of the day. The wind blew with force from the west and southwest, and a hotter, more stifling air was never felt in this city. It seemed to add twenty degrees to the heat. So hot did it become during the afternoon as the wind drove the hot air into windows and doorways that all through the business section of the city tenants of oflices slammed down their windows to keep out the air. At the theaters, where matinees were in progress, men were stationed at the front doors to keep them closed as much as possible.

If any comfort was to be found It was by shutting out the breeze. Down on the street level, in the shade, the mercury hut little above that in the Auditorium tower, but in the sun and on the street crossings it was anywhere from 105 to 110. The air was so dry. however, that Its effect was not as disastrous as would have been the case had greater humidity prevailed. There were no deaths, but twenty-one prostrations were reported.

To-night the wind changed to the northwest, blowing off Lake Michigan, with the result that the mercury went down twenty degrees within an hour. New Shamrock 'Winner. Rothesay, Firth of Clyde. July 10. Another open water trial of the Shamrocks waa started at about 11 o'clock this morning off Bogay Point.

Island of Bute. The challenger allowed the older boat to get well away to windward and several lengths ahead, thus permitting her to get the first of the fresher off-shore wind. The Shamrock I. maintained all her advantage to Kilcattan, but the challenger then picked up rapidly and passed the ex-challenger clear to leeward after a clever bit of sailing. I Kilcattan bay the two Shamrocks had a couple of windward trials of eight and seven miles respectively.

The cup challenger finished the first race half a mile in the lead. In the second race she started to leeward, but worked out to windward and won by a minute. The concluding feature of to-day's trial was a reach home in a breeze which submerged the yachts lee rails. The challenger's form seemed to improve with the freshening wind. She did seven and one-half miles in thirty-four minutes.

The Match le Arranged. Edward Keydon and Henry Newman, the sprinters, met at Recclus at IT o'clock yesterday morning and deposited a forfeit of J25 for their 100-yard dash, to take place at Reccius Park next Sunday afternoon directly before the ball game between the Reccius Club and the Seymour, team. Newman was conceded all he asked but the privilege of the man to shoot the starting gun. Heydon objected to this, and said that the choice of starter would be tossed for at the park. Newman was satisfied with this, and now everything Is ready for the race.

Newman Is getting himself in condition at Reccius Perk every afternoon, while Hay-den, who is In fairly good condition, is raking morning runs to keep himself in condition. Hayden is one of the fastest big men in the country, standing 5 feet 11 Inches and weighing 1S5 pounds. Huxham's Driver Fined. Peoria 111.. July 10.

ROGERS, LOCOMOTIVE BUILDER, NOT LIKED. WAS A UNIQUE CHARACTER.

The Donor of $3,000,000 Noted Tor Minding His Own Business. AN ECCENTRIC MILLIONAIRE. Chicago, July 10. A Patterson tele-eram to the Record-Herald says: Jacob S. Rogers, the locomotive builder of this city, who left his entire fortune of $8,000,000 to the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, was considered a Particularly mean man by his fellow-cltlzens of Paterson.

He was always doing the very thing that surprised everybody and chat was clear out of the common' run of human desire. He was the champion in this part of the country at minding bis own busings, and he ha3 a way of telling the plain truth that was like pulling teeth to most people. He did not gloss with fine words anything he had to say. He said It out, and as a consequence nobody liked him. But he did not seem to care for anybody's good opinion, and he never was mean with any one who did not interfere with him.

Persons who sought him out and thrust affairs on him came away feeling disgruntled, but Mr. Rogers never stepped out of his way to mind anybody's business but his own. Came of Good Stock. The eccentric millionaire came of pretty good Thomas Rogers, the father of Jacob S. Rogers, came to Paterson in 1814.

He had just been discharged from the United States army, in which he had fought through the war of 1S12. For a time he earned his living as a carpenter. Tradition says that he was a good carpenter, but that a desire to be paid well for his work kept him from great popularity in the village. With a capital of $50 he started a machine shop. Twenty years later the first steam locomotives were brought to this country from Europe.

The machine-shop was then running under the firm name of Rogers. Ketcham Grosvenor. One of its men said he could build a locomotive. A purchaser was found and the engine was built. It was called the Sandusky.

The railroad that ordered the engine would not take it, and the machine was sold to the Madison River and Lake Erie railroad. The roadbed had not been laid at the time of the sale, and so the road was built to fit the engine. In 1856 Thomas Rogers died. By that time the works were making locomotives as fast as machinery could turn them out They were good locomotives, and they had a character of own, so that there came to be known among railroad men a quality ltncm'n as the Rogers style. It did not refer to the mechanical peculiarities of the machines, but to the way in which they were finished and the general, clean-cut lines which them a dandified appearance among the rather clumsy products of other works.

Made Money During W4r. After Thomas Rogers' death the style of the business, was changed to the RogersLoeomotiveand Machine Works. Jacob S. Rogers was made President of the operating company. In the war years the company made money at a rate that started the subsequent stories about Jacob S.

Rogers' eighty-million-dollar fortune. In 1S60 the company made ninety locomotives in one year. Afterward Its capacity rose to one locomotive a day. The factory always made Its was disadvantageous geo-arapliically. The works were at a distance from the nearest railroad tracks, those of the Erie.

-Each finished locomotive had to be pushed and hauled out through Market street to the Erie tracks. This was inconvenient and expensive. Other concerns in neighborhood moved their plants to more convenient situations. The Rogers works, with a conservatism characteristic of the head of the concern, stayed where thev were. They were making enough money, and Mr.

Rogers saw no reason to believe that it would be profitable to try to make more money by going somewhere else. So the leisure classes of Paterson's factory district continued for year after vear to be entertained and instructed by the sight of the Rogers locomotives crawling slowly down Market street, and censured Mr. Rogers severely because he did not adopt their views. Ten thousand persons, it is estimated, depended on the shops for their support when they were running a', full capacity. Told of Large Profits.

In a burst of confidence Mr. Rogers once told a man who was talking of buying the works that there was a profit of about $1,000 or $1,500 on each engine turned out. Paterson went to figuring, and decided that the profits on the 5,645 locomotive engines the factory had made must have amounted to about $8,000,000. This estimate was it appears very nearly correct. In 1S90 Mr.

Rogers, who had then reached the age of sixty-six, retired from the active management of the works and R. S. Hughes took his place. Hughes died two years ago, and then Mr. Rogers announced that he would shut down the works permanently.

In the transactions that followed the great locomotive builder had his revenge on the people of Paterson. Paterson and its people did not like Mr. Rogers. They showed it in every way. He knew perfectly well that he was not popular, but this did not seem to worrv him.

Once, years ago, he had asked the city for a favor. It was denied him with great gusto by the city fathers. Through Mr. Rogers' factory ran two streets. These streets were of no use to the people.

Nobody ever went near them. Nobody used them, and there was little prospect of their ever being used. Mr. Rogers asked the city to close the streets, as this closing would greatly facilitate his business. Rebuff From Council.

This was just what Paterson wanted. It would turn the rich man down in fine style. The City Council promptly voted "no" on his request. The streets would stay open, they said. They would show how much they cared for wealthy corporations.

Mr. Rogers made no reply. He did not ask twice. He was used to saying "no" when he meant no, and he took everybody else in dead earnest. Paterson rejoiced at the old man's discomnture.

When Hughes died and Rogers announced that he would close the works Paterson was dismayed. What! Close the locomotive works! Impossible! It would throw thousands out of employment. At least 10,000 per WAREHOUSE. Phone He spent most of his time on this farm and at the Union League Club, New York, where he died. He was never married and his only relations were his nephews and nieces, to whom It was believed his estate would descend.

Mr. Rogers was never very charitable. People who went on that kind of errands to the rich man generally came away with bitter words in their mouths. He was very ungracious, especially to women who went to him for donations for church work and the like. The most eccentric feature of Mr.

Rogers' character, however, was his obstinacy in the matter of selling anything once it had come into his possession. It was his boast that he had never sold anything but butter and locomotives. He bought stock at low prices, saw it go up beyond all reason, and, although knowing that it must come down again, he would not sell it in order to profit by the change in the market. "I bought it to keep it," he would say, "not to sell it. Why should I do something which I don't care to do? Just to please others? I think not." Seller of Fine Butter.

He sold butter to all the best families in Paterson and a few outside of it. The butter was as fine as could be made. He might have got $1 a pound for it, but he said it was worth forty cents and no more. "Why should I take more than It is worth?" he would ask. "Because people are willing to pay more? Never." These views were revolutionary, anarchistic, and not businesslike, but Mr.

Rogers was always eccentric and unpopular. At the Union League Club Mr. Rogers was well thought of, but although not taciturn, he was never sociable. He was by no means stingy and stories to that effect are mere Idle gossip. PROEHL BACK.

YOUNG PRISONER GHHETS LATE EMPLOYES. WITH TEAKS. ECis Has Aged Him Asks About His Wife, Who Is Ko'f Present. Louis Proehl, who absconded with 11,112 belonging to the Frank A. Menne Candy Company, returned to Louisville last night in custody of District Detective ICinnarney.

The Louisville oillcer left immediately for the East after Proehl was arrested, but owing to the strictness of the Boston courts he was unable to secure possession of his prisoner until Tuesday morning. He caught the first train bound for Louisville and arrived over the L. and N. last night.

The trip was uneventful. Frank A. Menne, the young man's former employer, was at Central police station when Kinnarney and Proehl arrived. 'Proehl was neatly dressed In a new suit of dark flannel. He was bareheaded, his straw hat being placed on his folded hands that the handcuffs might be concealed.

He asked about his wife and baby of one of the turnkeys. Mr. Menne walked over to the jail and then went uptown without having spoken to the prisoner. "Yes, I did it." said Proehl. "I was in debt and had to have the money.

I didn't play the races or anything of that kind. I was pressed and thought the best way out was the easiest. No, I can't tell how did it." Proehl's young wife and his baby were not at the station, neither did they call at the Jail. They didn't know that he was In the city. The detective brought back the money that was recovered, 5640.

The diamond ring and gold watch represented an additional $200 of the stolen money. Harness Events At Davenport. Davenport, July 10. Six heats were required "To decide the 2:10 pace to-day, which was won by Balmy L. Summary: 2:10 class, pacing; purse $500: Balmy I.
