THE CROP OUTLOOK.

Both the Chicago Times and New York
World Of last Saturday contained telegraph re
ports from all parts OF the country in regard
to the growing crops, and in the reports OF
both the outlook Is represented as highly en-
couraging The World, summoning up It's
reports, says:
The crop advices which we lay before our
readers today are IN some respects phenome.
nal The acreage of nearly all the great pro
ducts of the country, it will be seen, has been
largely increased and IN almost all parts of
the country increased harvests are anticipated
Though the great cotton staple has suffered in
the region Of the Mississippi from tremendous
foods, the high prices for plantation supplies
and January weather IN the month of May,
the prospects In the Gulf States are SO excel
lent as TO warrant the anticipation of larger
total yield than that of last year. Equally ia
vorable, in spite of circumstances as untoward,
Is the outlook for another great article of ex.
port-tohacco. Pasturage promises SO we'll
that thd.e seems to be no reason to expect any
falling of IN the supply of beef cattle, which
o. late years have become a leading source of
four agricultural wealth, and which under the
operation OF more rational fiscal system must
eventually play part in the schedule OF our
national resources, the importance of which

tiny" cannot easily overestimate. The same
thing Is true OF the pork and lard yield of the
year, and though the wool clip is likely to be
later than usual, the general yield Is expected
10 be greater than that OF last year. This in-
telligence is of especial value, as there is now
very urgent demand for this great staple.
The cereals generally have suffered much less
than has been expected and supposed from the
unusual weather of the past winter and spring,
and whte they all promise fairly there Is no
reserve as to the magnificent outlook of the
crop of oats ia any part of the country. The
prospects of the hemp region are good, and
though the fruit crop seems TO have suffered
from the unreasonable frosts ID the West and
Northwest, from all parts Of the Atlantic coast
generally more satisfactory reports are sent

DECORATED CEILINGS. The beauty and har-
mony of room interior cannot be more thor.
oughly or practically obtained than by ceiling
decoration-a form of ornamentation now grown
very popular. The broad, plain, cold surface OF
a white naked ceiling is out of keeping with the
figured carpets, furniture and wall paper. The
surface should be broken with decorations and
covered with appropriate designs. By this
means uniformity of design Is obtained. Har-
mony and beauty are also acquIred-paper. irieze
and dado being blended in tone and figure. A
truly artistic combination, beautiful and effective,
is thus produced. Moreover, this method of
,conccaling the chalky baroness of Il ceiling is
most economical as otherwise frequent kalso.

Deadly Encounter Between Women.
The following strange relation comes in &
special to the Chicago Times from Lamberton
NC:
St. Paul's township was yerterday evening
the scene of deadly hand hand conflict be
tween two young women, Jane Mckeller and
Frances McNair, in which the victorious one
sent dirk into her rivals heart II seems
that for long time there has been bad feeling
between the two women, although they had
lately as much as possible avoided each other
There was young gallant in the case, and 1t
Is said Frances MCNair had won his afiec-
tons, although at first he seemed to have pre-.
fcrred the other. During the last three days
hostile messages had passed between the two
women, the exact tenor Of which has not
leaked out, although important and sensation.
al developments are looked for before the Off,
GERS get through with the affair. At any rate,
whether by appointment or not, the two wO'
men met last evening IN secluded dell not
far from the main road and began to settle the
trouble between themselves. Jane Mckeller
was larger and more muscular, though her
antagonist, while spare, was 1.-the and quick
of motion. They fought each other like IT,
gers, and finally Jane Mckeller succeeded in
throwing her small but plucky opponent and
with her knee pressed on the stomach of the
PROSTATE woman, grasped her by the throat
with the fury of demon, and well.nigh
choked her life from her, when finally, by a
great effort Frances McNair gave sudden
twist of the body, forcing her antagonist to
lose her perch and fall sideways TO the ground
and before she could recover herself Frances
with great agility got on her feet and with a
cry of hate and revenge, drew bOwie-knife
and plunged 1t into the heart of Jane Nickel.

sight OF the gaping wound, the victor in the
fight fell IN a swoon across the dead body,
where she WAS found. A party had followed
