Chicago is far in advance OF New York
in the attractiveness OF its residences as
looked upon by the traveller. To meas
ure the interior charms OF Chicago homes
by those of NewYork or Boston is quite
bayond the power OF the writer; a lack
of knowledge makes such comparison
impossible. But between New York
and Boston the artistic beauty OF the
average interiors OF the latter city has
far more nober expressioa than in New
York. 1t has more marked individu,
slity that remains within the realms OF
accepted standards, and yet which nnds
a more varied distinctiveness OF expires.

course this assertion applies to the usual

CHICAGO, April 20-Reports collected

Kansas regarding the crops show that
on the whole the winter wheat crop is in
excellent condition-hetter than usual

rain. The past few days have been ex.
ceedinely hot and windy, aud in some
places the Cirt has been blown so rs to
expose the roots of the wheat 10 the
scorching sun. But little damage has
been done as yet, but good warm rain
would be OF incalculable benefit. The
farmers say that with favorable weather
the crop will be the largest ever hai-
vested in Kansas. The spring wheat
crop appears to be in uniavorable cond:-

was necessary TO appease an offended
God. These murders weresupplemented
by a series of lynchings, which exec.
