h NEW COLLEGE PRESIDENT.
Bev. <lam«a McClure at the Head of Lake
F Forest Univerl|ty.
The Rev. James G. K. McClure, who
has recently been elected president of
Lake Forest university, has for 16
years been the pastor of the Lake Forest
Presbyterian church, the chief religious
organization in that fashionable Chicago
/(Z S'

suburb. He has for his parishioners
such men as the McCormicks and other
"wealthy Chicagoans.
Dr. James Gore King McClure was
born in 1848 at Albany and is of Scotch
■descent. He received his preparatory
education at the Albany academy and
was afterward graduated from Yale
university. He took a postgraduate
course in Princeton Theological semi
nary and was graduated with high hon
ors. HiS first pastorate was in New
Scotland, N. Y. After five years of hard
work he went abroad in 1879 and spent
two years in study and travel. When
he returned, he resumed his ministerial
work in Lake Forest, which was at that
time an inconspicuous little place on
the outskirts of the western metropolis.
Since then he has labored with signal
success. He has gained a wide reputa
tion for eloquence, and he has seen his
church grow to be the largest and
wealthiest in Lake county.
It was but natural that the pastor of
the Presbyterian church of Lake Forest
should be somewhat intimately connect
ed with the work of the Presbyterian
university there, and this has been so.
In recognition of his many services the
university conferred upon him the de
gree of doctor of divinity. For 15
months he acted as president of the uni
versity previous to the coming of Dr.
John M. Coulter, whom he succeeds.
Dr. McClure is not to give up his pas
toral work entirely and will still con
tinue to fill the pulpit, but he will have
assistants to do most o,f the parish
work.
Lake Forest university is one of the
most important educational institutions
under the control of the denomination.
Its average number of students enrolled
is 2,200, and 132 instructors are em
ployed.

THE STYLE OF ALDERMEN.
People Who Do Address Them as “The
Honorable” In Spite of Webster.
In none of the “ready letter writers’’
are directions given as to the prefix
which it is proper to put before the
name of an aiderman, and it is for this
reason perhaps that a controversy has
recently arisen. One of the disputants
says:
“When writing to a member of the
board of aidermen or a commissioner in
one of the city departments, it is high
falutin, I think, to address him with
the prefix ‘Hon.’ ” In proof of the cor
. rectness of this view of the case this
correspondent invokes the testimony of
Webster, the dictionary compiler, who
said of the use of “the honorable:”
“An American usage. It is a title of
courtesy merely, bestowed upon those

Webster was born in Connecticut in
1758 and died in-the same state in
1843, long before the establishment, aS
such, of the present New York board
of aidermen and at a time when that
body was generally known as the com
mon council, and any opinions .which
he may have expressed in his dictionary
or any views which he may have enter
tained personally on the subject of hon
orary titles in use in the United States
could have no especial bearing upon the
case of the New York aidermen, whose
fame as legislators has now spread tet
confines where the name of Webster is
quite unknown.
The title aiderman is derived from
the Saxon word “ealdorman, ” other
wise elderman or elder. It was a title
of honor in early days in England, and
the elderman or aiderman was a local
functionary responding somewhat to
the present justice of the peace. In Eng
land the aiderman was usually a judge,
but afterward the office came to be an
elective one, and from the English word
has come the American title aiderman
so valiantly upheld by the aidermen of
New York, who insist upon a full share
of all political honors, perquisites, priv
ileges, rights, advantages and immuni
ties, and he would be a courageous man
indeed who would omit from the des
ignation of an aiderman (especially an
aiderman recently elected) the title
“the honorable.” The legal duties of
aidermen are so few, their exercise is
so carefully guarded by acts of the leg
islature, that it is necessary, so to speak,
for the aidermen to find, if the expres
sion may be used without offense, work
for themselves. Accordingly from time to
time resolutions are passed by the board
taking the form of or finances which by
tacit agreement an* Ig the members it
is arranged shall r, acted upon un
less the aiderman of the district in
which the applicant or applicants reside
assents to Action. In this way the pow
ers of an aiderman in a district are very
considerably enhanced, and in such cases
the petitioner, realizing the full force
mid importance of the alderman’s office,
is glad of the opportunity to address
him as “the honorable, ” and realizes
the futility of another course.—New

cheap, practical plan for keeping sweet
potatoes ? |
Answer —The following plan is cheap
and practical, and if followed you will i
have no trouble to keep your potatoes I
through the winter: Dig your potatoes
the first bright sunny day after the i
vines have been touched by frost. Han- j
die them carefully, rejecting all that j
are cut or bruised. Don’t throw them j
in piles while digging, as is customary, I
for by this plan many are bruised, but I
simply place them by the side of the j
furrow as they are plowed up. In the >
evening gather them up. placing care
fully in baskets holding from one to two
bushels, and haul to the point- where
you wish to bank them. Make a bed of
dry pine straw 10 or 12 inches thick,
and on this place from 20 to 25 bushels
of potatoes in as steep a pile as possible.
Then cover the pile 5 or 6 inches deep
with pine straw, and do ho more to
them until the weather gets colder.
Build a low shed over the banks suffic
ient to keep the rains entirely off. Be
fore cold'Weather cover the entire ban<
with 7 or 8 inches of earth, and your
potatoes will keep until spring. The
important points are these: Bank no
bruised or cut potatoes; keep the banks
perfectly dry; put on enough earth to
prevent the cold penetrating, but not
until the potatoes have gone through a
sweat and dried off —State Agricultural

THE ROME TRIBUNE. TUESDAY 1 , OCTOBER 5. 1897
A PORTENTOUS KISS.
President Faure’s Affectionate Greeting to
the Czar.
When President Faure of France and
Nicholas II of Russia met recently, they
kissed each other. It was the most por-
PRESIDENT FAURE SALUTES THE CZAR,
tentous and notable kiss of modern
times. It was po long, lingering, passion
ate Nethersolian kiss, but just a short,
sharp meeting of masculine lips and
bearded face, yet its echo was undoubt
edly heard in every court in Europe.
To the American mind it was rather
ridiculous, this exchange of kisses be
tween a tall, gray haired old man and a
bearded young one. We are prompted
to laugh. But to the French and Rus
sians it is a common, everyday expres
sion of friendship, in this instance high
ly significant as suggesting the intimate
relations of the two nations. When the
story of that kiss was flashed over the
wires, all France went wild with joy.
Cannons were fired, fireworks were set
off, flags were hung out, and there was
a general rejoicing. Paris pirouetted on
its toes and shouted “Vive le Russel”
until it was hoarse. Germany turned up
its nose at the smack, and John Bull,
glaring enviously eastward, scowled
grimly and took a tighter grip'on his
sword hilt. As for Uncle Sam, he
smiled broadly at the sight and mutter
ed, “Waal, I’ll be gosh durned!”
It might seem strange to us to see two
great rulers greet each other in this
fashion, but the salute osculatory plays
an important part in continental diplo
macy. Whenever two friendly poten
tates meet, they embrace. It would be a
breach of etiquette if they did not. All
Frenchmen and all Russians, in fact,
kiss their male friends on meeting aft
er an absence. It is a national custom,
and two men kissing each other on the
street attract no more attention than
would two Americans shaking hands on
Broadway. However, we cannot regard
the spectacle of the czar and the French
president greeting each ether after the
fashion of two young lovers without al
lowing a snicker, at least, to escape us.

Subsoiling Land.
Question. —Will you please answer
the following questions ?
1. Have you ever tested subsoiling
land ? What was the result ?
2. x Would you advise subsoiling land
with a fine sandy soil about 10 inches
deep ? runs together and gets hard in a
dry time. Subsoil is solid red clay.
3. Would you advise subsoiling dark
gray and red clay lands (solid red clay
subsoils) 12 to 16 inches deep?
4. When is the best time to subsoil,
and how often ?
5. Are you sure that it pays to use
acid phosphate and kainit on light sandy
lauds for corn, cotton, oats and peas ?
6. Do you advise the use of acid phos
phate and kainit with cottonseed on
such land for oats to be sowed in Octo
ber ? There is a fair crop of pea vines
on the laud
7. When acid phosphate and kainit
are applied broadcast at the time peas
are planted and all covered at once, is
the fertilizer immediately available?
8. Where peas follow oats would a
liberal application of phosphate and
kainit to the oat crop pay as well as to
divide application between oats and
peas?
9. Where cotton is planted after peas
would a liberal application of phosphate
and kainit to peas furnish phosphoric
acid and potash enough for cotton?
Answer.—l. I have tested subsoiling
land in southwest Georgia for corn an I
doubled the yield. I have a friend in
Jefferson county who, this past winter,
turned his land with a large 4-horse
plow and followed in the same furrow
with a subsoiler pulled by five horses,
breaking the stiff subsoil to a depth of
18 to 20 inches. He writes that he is
well pleased with the result, the cotton
planted on that land being ahead of
everything in thirt section.

8. Yes.
4. Now is a good time to subsoil (Oct.
1), and any time will do through the
fall and winter when the ground is not
wet. When thoroughly done the effects
will be visible for three or four years,
and frequently longer, according to the
character of the subsoil.,
5. I am sure that it pays to fertilize
all crops, if done judicious.y, and uirro
gea is usually needed as well as phos
phoric acid and potash.
6. While the pea vines will-furnish
some nitrogen for the oat crop, I would
advise the use ot a complete fertilizer
for them, particularly as you are desir
ous of building up your land while you
are making crops.
7. Most of the fertilizer is immedi
ately available, and the rest becomes so
gradually. The potash in the kainit is
all available (of course in the presence
of moisture) at once, and so of what is
termed the “available phosphoric acid”
in a lertilizer. There is usually some
phosphoric acid term°d unavailable,
which gradually becomes available by
the action of certain properties ,iu the
soil.
8. If you wish to bring up your land
rapidly you should fertilize each crop
well.
9. Os course a portion of the phospho
ric acid ami kainit would remain in the
soil to be taken up by the cotton crop,
but as I have said before, if you wish to
bring your land to a high state of fer
tility each crop that you plant should
be well fertilized.—State Agricultural
