from Mysore are unfavorable. Rain
is much wanted. Crops are whitening
and prices rising. Pastures are fail

gloomy, and unless rain falls within a
week large portion of the crops will
be lost, Severe scarcity is inevitable.
Reports from the Province Of Coorg

parts of India are fairly good.

WASHINGTON, August 8, 1890 am !
1t having become necessary to make
a further opening to facilitate the es-
cape Of pus, we took advantage of the
improved condition Of the President
this morning. Shortly after the morn
ing bulletin was issued he was ether
lied. The incision extended down
ward and forward and counter open
ing was made into the track Of the
ball, below the margin Of the 18th
rib, which, it is believed, will effect
the desired object. He bore the ope-
ration and has now recovered from
the effects of the etherization and is in
excellent condition.

ATTRACTING TUE ENaIIslf No
BILITY.--The tide Of immigration has
set in stronger thanever. On Tuesday
q single steamer arrived at Philadel-
phia with thirteen hundred immigrants
on board. This was the largest num-
Der that ever arrived at that port in
one day. But the immense resources
of the country and the hidden wealth
that remains to be developed is at
tracing England's nobility as well as
her peasantry and skilled artiEans.
To day, the Duke of Sutherland and
party, in all fifteen gentlemen, the
majority of whom are Directors of the
London and Northwestern and other
English railways, will arrive in Phila-
delphia from New York. President
Roberts Of the Pennsylvania Road has
placed special train of handsomely
fitted psrlor cars at The disposal of the
travellers, and on arriving here car
riaxes will be in attendance to convey
the Duke and suite to the Continental
Hotel. In the evening his Grace will
take advantage of one of the many
invitations to dine which he has re-
ceived.
Tomorrow the Duke and his brother
Directors, accompanied by President
Roberts, General Manager Frank
Thomas and several Other gentlemen con
neeted with commercial interest will tax
Especial train al the new Pennsylvania
Railroad Depot at Fifteenth and Hilbert
streets and travel over the Elevated Road
to West Philadelphia, and inspect the
wharves, docks, etc. This train will be
the first which has ever started from the
nearly finished station of the new line
On Saturday the ducal party will leave
tor Baltimore.
In all probability the same influence
will, in very few years induce large
number of the wealthy English manufac-
turers to immigrate TO this country with
machinery and operatives accustomed to
run it. Delaware holds out inviting
inducements and may hope to find some
of the latter class making their homes
upon her lands.

The Savannah Nesos notes that in
Florida "every department ofthe State
Government is in the hands and under
the control Of the Democrats, and yet,
strange to say, the silly Yankees are
fiocking in by thousands, spending
money, buying property and standing
no more more in awe of these sanguin-
airy Florida crackers than if they were
so many scarecrows. Such condition
of affairs is sad commentary upon
the feasibility of human Judgment and
opinions. All the business of the
State is exceedingly prosperous, and it
is confidently predicted that the bust
ness done this winter will require the
enlargement of the present and the
construction of new hotels before the
advent Of the next season."

Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on so completely for
the quality Of everything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste, at least, for us to say
this, if we hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration of the
fact.
In the first place we make
clothing enough SO that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know
In the second place every
thing we sell is liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-worse than that +; it is
liable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness of it.
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
chances on anything but the
safest Of everything?

BOSTON Sunday Courier /: A very
amusing comment upon certain
phase of the woman's suffrage ques-
ton is told by one of the tellers al
the last city election, and vOuched
for by him as absolutely true. A
woman well~known in strong mind
ed circles came to the polls, vote In
hand. Upon being asked her name
she hesitated a little, but concluded
upon the whole to give it. She
seemed to have similar misgivings
about replying to an equally i'm
pertinent question in regard to her
place Of residence, but in this mat
ter also she decided to yield. The
name being checked upon the list,
the voter was told to deposit her
ballot, which, after examining the
ballot-box with some curiosity, she
did. She stood an instance in an
attitude of expectancy, and then
asked: "Is that all ?" "Yes, mad
am" answered the teller. "Then
if that is ALL" she asked with some
asperity, "why do men make such a
fuss about it % The tide of voters
kept waiting by her delay became
at this moment too strong for her,
and she was swept forward with her
question unanswered. She fingered
about, however, and in the first lull
came back TO the ballot-box. "If
you please she said to the teller,
I'D like to see that vote l put in
there,' "But you cannot" he
said. ga vote can't be taken out Of
the box" "But l want very much
to see it," she persisted. "Wha
do you want of 1T, madam ?" he ask
ed politely. "Oh," was the nalv,
answer, 81 want to see who l votet
for.''
