New York and Jersey City Con nected bv Tunnel Under the River Through Vhkta Trains Ulltte in Three Minutes. H Vara arid. Officially discarding the tiuie houorrd uiavitu, 'The people be dawned," ami substituting fur it, The people he plraavd," to quote W. G. MrAdoo, who baa it in bis Mwer to enforce either adage, New York and Jrney City joiued hands beneath the river yesterday in a celebration in which everything but the ferryboats had a shsre. The tiiue, the place and the girl were propitious 10:21 a, ui., the (rreat eoucounte beneath the Hud son Teriuiual Buildings aud Mia Harriet Floyd McAdoo, daughter of the niau vho was courageous and able enough to carry to success the dreaina of poor Col. De Witt Clinton Hattkiua, who died in pov erty and of a broken heart after beginning thirty-five years ago the work that was tiuiahed yesterday. Mr. McAdoo more than any man in the world had reaMon yesterday to be proud, though throughout the great ovation he received his mod eaty was one of the striking feat urea of the occasion, but proud as he might well have been, the man who bought the first ticket to ride iu the tunnel was far prouder. On the New York side Mr. Mc Adoo himself bought the first tick et, which be gave to Harry Fisk, head of the banking firm that financed the tunnel project Who of the public secured the second ticket was lost iu the shuille of the foremost of what Mr. McAdoo calls his "Hying giuadrou" of ticket booths. Several of the booths in the con course are mounted on wheels, so that they can be moved to point of vantuge where the crowd in thicketd, and when the eager crowd surged iu at the stroke of :i a fly ing wedge hit the tlyiug uadron aud sent it spinning with the girl inside clinging desperately to her seat. That was the real oieniug of the great tunnel, although five hours before that several thousand guests of the company were taken to Jer sey City, where those who were near a grand staud erected beside the City Hull heard "hands across the river" speeches from a Oover uor, a Mayor, an almost Mayor aud various other officials. Miss McAdoo, stunningly attir ed in a blue gown, with a large white bat surmounted by a trailing blue ottlrich feather, started the celebration by pressing a golden key that turned tho electric switch operating the trains at twenty-four minutes after 10 o'clock. A tnoineut later the first official train began its trip ninety feet be low the level, and two minutes aud forty seconds later the train reach ed the Jersey City terminal, twen ty seconds short of the schedule time. Two of the next three trains made the run in better tliau three minutes, aud Mr.-McAdoo later ad mitted that it was quite possible to make the (rip iu two minutes and quarter, but three minutes will continue to be the schedule. As the switch was turned the Concourse rang with the tooting of the tram whistles, which echoed through the corridors, while over head river craft took up the cele bration all but tho iMwr ferry boats. From the Jersey terminal dynamite bombs shattered the air and wnt clouds or smoke circling above the lane through which the traiu was flying deep below the river. Tortured on a Hone.

How to Profit by tlx Institutes. Mow to Metp the Work Iruti- atitutea lor the Housekeepers. Hxellent Ankle from the Pro gressiv t-'armcr. Farmers' Institutes will lie held at Marshville August Tin, Waxhaw Uh, Mouroe lotb. The following article from the Progressive Far mer is especially timely: There are farts well established and practices thoroughly tried and proven, which every farmer in oor ten itory might easily learn aud put iJto operation and which would promptly revolutionize our agri culture and quickly increase the earniugsof the average farmer well along towards f-'SM) more a year. Miud yon, we have no reference to anything in the nature of an experi ment, nor to any costly or difficult changes in our geueral agricultural system; but to simple, established aud easily applied facta aud prac tices, which hundreds are now em ploying, aud which the masses of our farmers have steadfastly re fused to adopt under the mistaken belief that such methods are not practicable or possible without greater capital than they possess. It is the purpose of the farmers' institutes to carry an explanation of thete facts aud practices direct to the farming masses by word of mouth. The writer has been attending farmers' institutes for about eigh teen years, and for a portion of the time has attended a targe number each year. He has heard quite a number of iustitue lecturers in sev eral States, aud with a few rare ex ceptions, be has not beard a fact stated, or a practice recommended, that was not at that very time in successful use by hundreds aud thousuuds of farmers who were working under conditions of cli mate, crops and soils practically identical with those under which the farmers addressed were work ing. Farmers' iustitute lectuiers may state facts or recommend prac tices which are new to some of their hearent; but it is the aim and practice of the best institute lec turers to advise nothing which has not been tried suilicieutly under the conditions existing on the farms of their listeners to make its value and applicability certain. What the Institutes Should Do. The purpose of any particular farmers' institute, therefore, is to spread among farmers a knowledge of those facts and practices which long experience has proved are ap plicable to the farmers aud farms represented at the institute. There are two principal ways ny which this is done. The first is by the regular institute lecturer, who is usually a man, who by special training or by study, has acquired a knowledge of the scientific basic facts underlying the best agricul tural practice, aud who, by giving his whole time ami euergy to the work, bus been able to learu and collect a large share of those facts which others have found out through experimentation, observa tion and by whatever other means possible. He is a trained teacher, whose work is to collect luiorma- t ion in regard to correct practices and carry it to those having less time or facilities for learning. It is true that he must usually bave done the things which he teaches in order to know their correct ap plication, but his duty is to carry- facts to bis audience, and if be does that, it matters not bow or where those facts were obtained, it mat ters not to the farmer whether those who first discovered these facts made money out of them and were actual farmers, or were mere ly scientists. If they are really facts and well established, as they usually are, and the farmers can use them to advantage, that is suf ficient. The second way in which the far Biers' institutes msy and should spread information is by the farm era themselves relating the methods followed iu their work. If a man has made a failure of any partica lar crop, a statement of the exact conditions under which that failure was niade will do others a good service. Likewise, if a man has made a success of a certain crop, a statement of just bow that success was made will be of value to those making the same crops, under sim ilsr conditions. The failure may have been made in spite of correct methods, but mnch more frequently it will be found to have been due to' lack of knowledge or failure to follow bet ter methods known and proved by others. On the other band, the man who makes a success may have made many mistakes, but on tbe whole, bis practices will gener ally be found to be those approved by tbe best farmers every wucre, In short, the object of the farm era' institute is to carry proven 'acts to the farming masses by lec .. 1 JisAHHiAiia anil if f hi tures and discussions, and if tne regular lecturer does not give out some real fact, not generally known or not in eeneral nee, which the i farmers can take home with them and profitably use in their work or, if tbe farmers ao not discuss among themselves their success and tbeir failures, tbe institute has foiled to fulfill ita tme mission. Haw ta Profit bv the Institutes, This being a correct statement of 'lUMiMuwanTlV. fuvM.AM) li.ati. I tot, it mutt he clear to all that it power to aid in making the inati- nity should demand these meet lute in bis locality as nearly as pos- iog. and every farmer should at sible meet ita highest purpose and tend them and do all in hi power aims. Our observation convinces' to build them np to the highest us that tbe failure of the farmers' institute to sometimea accomplish that good which might reasonably be expected, is store frequently due to the farmers themselves thau to any fault of the iustitute; but it is not deuied that iustitute lec turers bave not always measured up to tbeir opportunities and re sKuaibilities as teachers of practi cal agrirulluie. Tbe chief cause for the failure of tbe institute sys tem to do the lull ainouut of good possible is the well known conser vatism of the tillers of the soil or tbeir dislike and reluctance to change their methods of doiug things. It is very much easier for us to do our work the old way in which loug "practice has made us er feet"; aud a new way which is much better, aud which after prac tice is also much easier, may at first be very much more diflicult than the old way with which we are familiar. This accounts for our tendency to get into "ruts" aud stay there. If the institutes are going to ma terially aid us in making tuatt.VK) more a year faraiiug, we must avoid the common error of conclud ing that methods which have been demonstrated as practicable and fl'ective by others on their farms will not also be practical and help ful on ours. We have repeatedly heard men state that such aud such crops would not grow on tneir farms, and later the very same per sons making these statements have grown these very same crops suc cessfully and profitably. We bave also frequently known men to try a crop, an implement or a method of cultivating or preparing the land and after one trial conclude that "it was not practical under tbeir conditions"; but later, from further trial, they learned these new things were so practicable aud helpful that they adopted them. hat others are doing I cau do," is a good motto iu such matters. If implements or methods have proved generally profitable on oth er farms, they are likely to be of value to auy man growing similar crois, if given a proper trial. No iustitute lecturer is likely to advocate anything be has uot tried, or anything that hundreds bave not already found valuable and are using under similar conditions to yours; therefore, if your experi ence diflcrs greatly from that of others the chances are that the fault is uot in the crop, the imple ment, or the method, but In your management of it. I f it is of great value to others, wc should try hard to make it of great value to us. Nine out of every ten who haveat- teuded the institutes are ready to admit that they bave received much benefit from them, aud they continue to attend them every year. If the institutes are helpful to those who attend them, they would lie equally helpful to the greater num ber who do not attend. It it pays a good farmer to attend the insti tutes aud this is tbe kiud that generally go to them it will pay- pay all fanners to attend them. How to Help the Institute Work. We appeal to the readers of this paper, it they nave auentiexi an in stitute aud received benefit to en deavor to persuade their neighbors to attend the next ouo held iu their section; aud of those of our readers who have never attended, we ask that they make a siecial effort to go this year. Go in the spirit of help-finding, and if encouragement and profit are not derived from the meeting, write usgivingyourviews as to how the institute should be improved. The object of the insti tute is to help, and help we all need; so if the institutes are not helping tbe farmers as much as tbey should, let us get together and make them serve tneir purpose Det ter. We all believe in sending our children to school. W by should we not go ourselvetd Are we too old to learnt The iustitute is but a one day school, and we are all children in the art of (arming. We need much more knowledge and the farmers' institute is an effort to partially supply that need. Institutes for the Housewife. As yet only one Southern State, North Carolina, has done much in supplying institutes for the women in Uie farm homes. 1 be women on the farms have as great problems and as many difficulties to solve as the nieh who work the soil. More over, the right sort of institutes for eiving help in solving household problems would tw as neipiui to tbe women as the institutes have been to the men. They have proved a success in North Caroliua because they have been helpful to the women on the farms. Tbey might be equally helpful and will be established in all the Southern States when there is a demand on the part of the women for them, Tbe only objection urged against them has come from the men and is based entirely on prejudice. Tbey help tbe women aud add to the attendance and interest in tbe institutes for the men. Our worn en are entitled to this help, and, moreover, tbe best farms will never be built on without the best farm bomes.

Galveston's Great Sea Wall Defies Storm. ililtnloa. Tfi . lM.ti-h. Mau'a strength and skill were pitted against the fury of the ele meuts today and man won, when the city of Galveston, safely en trenched behind her impregnable 1 1 -foot sea wall withstood, with comparatively trilling loss, a tidal wave and hurricane equal in inten sity and destructive force to the one which destroyed the city Sep tember N, 1!HKI. In Galvestou aud vicinity, not a single life is believed to have been sacrificed but the material lose is thought to lie quite extensive. The hurricane swept the entire gulf coast with an intensity and vicious ness that has seldom been equaled in a country where destructive storms are not unusual. It had its origin on the Atlantic coast and swinging westward and southward, devastating the entire gulf coast even as lar soutn as Aiaiagorua bay.
