THE CROPS FOR july.
How the Heated Terms Find
Our Crops.

WASHINGTON, Jolly 10.-The July
report OF the Department of A gricul-
ture indicates very general improve
ment in the condition of cotton.
Rains were general up tothe 18th or
Goth of June and local showers have
been frequent since There has
been an excess of moisture, interfer-
ing with cultivation and promoting
the growth of grass. Clean fields
are found only in favoredS districts
and on lands of prompt and pushing
cultlvators. Since June Goth the
growth has been rapid. In the gras
sy districts the plants are still small
but healthy and are making great
progress with recent cultivation. The
only complaint of drought comes
from central and southwestern Texas,
from Colorado to the Guadalupe
rivers. A few counties in South
Carolina and Georgia report present
need of rain. The recent distribu-
ton of moisture has been unequal.
Adams county, Mississippi, has had
showers daily for five weeks and
Pike county for six to eight weeks.
The general average of the condition
has advanced from Sc to 60 Last
Jnly there was an improvement of
three points from 80 to 80. The
returns of July since 1870 have indi-
Gated higher condition than in
June, except in 1861, 1873 and 1879
Tie spring weather was too variable
in temperature and moisture, as it
usually has been III former years for
the highest condition of the plant.
The only retroglade is reported for
Arkansas, where loss of three
points are made from excessive rains,
cool nights aud injuries from chinch
bugs, red ants and rust There is
promise ofimprovement during July.
A gain of 10 points has been made in
the northern zone, North Carolina
and Tennessee; 7 in Georgia, 6 in
South Carolina, in Texas, 8 in
Mississippi, 2 in Virginia, and l in
Florida. Alabama and louisiana
stand as in June. The July States
ayerape are as follows.

My wife has had avery strong prejudice
against all kinds of patents for years, and,
especially, washing machines So strong
was her prejudice in this direction that
even after l had bought one of your
washers and carried it home | found.it
difficult to prevail upon her TO tryit, Her
mind was made up from the beginning not
to like it, but to her great delight, after
once trying it, she is prepared to say that
it is all you claim for it. The washer is IA
remarkable success, and, in my judgement,
every house-keeper should get one just as
soon as possible. 1t saves a vast deal of
labor and trouble, and am satisfied that it
saves at least one-half the soap.

How Child of the Occident Sought to

/ Washington Special
| a local gossiper has this about the Presi-
dent: Half dozen girls and their ambi-
tious mothers have believed they had fairly
'bagged' Mr. Arthur, when in fact, he never
| thought the second time about them. l
know of some very funny things growing out
of this sort of fancy. 1 will tell you one
Last winter there was a very pretty girl here
from the principal city of a great Western
State, and she was presented to the Presi-
dent. Of course he was polite as he always
is, and she Immediately thought she had
him. Her knowledge of the world was ex-
tremely superficial, and her mother had
very little sense or knowledge of the
usages OF the best society She boast
ed of her daughters conquest
TO her acquaintance, and finally the story was
telegraphed to Western paper A friend of
the President saw the dispatch and showed
1t to him. That evening there was something
going on at the White House. Our famboy-
ant child of the Occident was there, clothed
in her radiant loneliness and a perfectly
fitting garment from Pingat's, and she was
very pretty. She had intimated to about
twenty friends that she meant to parade her
| captive. So, with an air of assurance born of
her coarse vanity, she endeavore1 to monop-
Ollie him. But to her utter amazement 81 e
could not get into the circle of intimes
at all. He barely looked at
her, did not ask her to promenade and
when supper came took down a Virginia
cousin of his late wife, who was neither
young nor pretty, and had never heard of
Pingat The girl went home crying with
modification and rage, and Mr.. Arthur was
never polite to her again"
We'll, but is the President marrying
man" asked
No, think not. If he had cared to, he
might have married an immense fortune be-
fore this. There is lady in New York the
widow of man five times millionaire She
is not over thirty, and one of the handsomest
women in America, She would be very glad
to marry him, 1 know, and at one time
thought he meant something by his atten-
tons in that quarter. There are other in
stances but this is the only one in which 1
saw any possibilities. No, l don't believe he
will ever marry

RECTOR R1TCHIE's RoMAN1sM.
He Announces Requiem Mass, Which
Causes a Rebellion.

CHrcAGo, July 9-The Episcopal church
controversy which has grown out of the
high church tendencies of Arthur Richie,
pastor of the Church of the Ascension, and
which has already served to draw out letter
of protest from the bishop of the diocese,
had another sensational feature added to it
yesterday. Rector Richie, at the morning
service, announced that at the conclusion of
the service requiem mass would be
said for the soul of Daniel Fountain,
who was drowned in Lake Michigan in the
latter part of May The announcement of a
requiem mass was apparently such pro-
nounced step toward Romanism as to cause
even the parishioners of Ascension who had
hitherto stood by the pastor to rebel, and
one-half the congregation left the church.
In the meantime at the request of the widow
of Darrell Fountain, the celebration was
postponed for few days. 1t is believed now
the bishop will be compelled to order the
trial of the pastor for the infringement of
church rules.
At a meeting OF the vestry OF the Church
of the Ascension tonight, Rev. Arthur
Richie, its high church rector, read a letter
Withdrawing his recently-announced resigna-
tion and the vestry passed resolution ex-
pressing its pleasure thereat.

from the reservation, thus obliging tine Indi-

is said at the department that Agent Simms
will be promptly removed unless henceforth
he gives the Indians under his charge more

was largely attended, and where the discus

which his doings in private life were thor

cided, by large majority, that it would be
most injudicious to nominate him as a Lib

had hoped that his high position, wealth
and lineage would have closed the
mouth of Calumny, but the Liberal
leaders We're not to be hoodwinked
by the glitter OF his inherited social position,
and after having listened to the story of his
wrong doinss deliberately and positively
refused to allow him to be any candidate OF
theirs and thus give their opponents such a
desirable opportunity. So his candidacy
was defea ted. and very wisely if half that is
