Mrs. Sheib's musical soiree at Germans
Hall last night attracted, as all her enter.

Avery great improvement in the grade
OF proficiency OF the pupils was noticeable,
and Mrs. Sheib's careful aud painstAking
method 80 ably presented by her puplls,
Is making itself felt In u musical circles,
and before long, u public too, will be-
educated 80, that appreciation Of those
who study under good methods, will take
the place OF indisCriminate praise 80 often
given unworthy singers. The programme
hereto annexed, was an exceedingly In.
teresting one, and where oil did so we'll, II
would be unjust to single out any In.
dividual as tho best. Those who were
present were pleased with the whole per.
Torrance. There are some very beautiful
and remarkable voices amongst those that
we're heard last night, will be worth near
ing In the future to the delight and pride
Of our city. A very pleasant feature was
the playing OF the violin by Master Freeze,
q pupil OF Prof. Was. This young lad
brings q firm and most excellent quality
Of tone from out the violin, and will, In
time, be q most excellent violinist. Prof.
Vaas lent his aid In playing the violin oh.

Cotton. Corn and Tobacco.

The Department of Agriculture to-day
issued the following report, with reference
to the probable production OF cotton, corn
and tobacco for the ensuing season; .' .
Cotton-The reports of September ! to
this Department show very heavy decline
in the condition of cotton since the last re-
port, owing to protracted drought which
has prevailed in all sections of the cotton
belt The condition, as reported, is r.
decrease of 10 per cent during the month
of August, and as compared with the re-
turns at the same date last year: is 10 per
cent. less. The reports are from $50 coun-
| ties of the cotton section, and are somewhat
less in number than usually received. The
number of counties and State averages are rs
| follows: North Carolina, AZ counties report:
| ing; average ~. South Carolina, u counties;
laycrage, 6S. Georgia, 55 counties average,
III Florida, IA countios average, 81.
alabama, 80 counties; average, 80. Mis-
sissippi, 81 counties; average, a., Louis
lana, Is counties; average, 49, Texas, 60
counties average, 65. Arkansas, 81 cOun-
ties average, 55. Tennessec,S q counties
average, 62.
Corn.-The general average condition. OF
the corn crop on Septembcr1 was 60, be.
ing II per cent. lower than the month
previous and 81 per cent. lower than o year
ago at the same date. The cause of the
low condition existing in almost every Sec
ton of the country is drought. New Eng
land has been less affected by it than any
other section east of the Mississippi
and reports an average Of ninety. InSWis.
consin, Minnesota, andl Of the tcrri-
tories there has been more seasonable
weather, and the condition of the crop is
correspondingly better but in all Other
sections the reports show the effects Of al
