THE CORN CROP.
Estimated Yield and "a Comparison,
with That Of Last Year.

with That Of Last Year.
CHICAGO, H., Sept 27.-The corn crop
of the United States having passed the
critical stage, and whatever of danger
menaced the cereal from frost being now
ended, owing to the maturity of the grain,
the Farmers Review of the city has called
in reports from Its 1,4OO correspondents.
giving the area and probable yield in every
county in the ten leading corn producing
states, and has compiled from these a close
estimate of the approximate yield Of the
crop of 1885. These estimates have been
based on a comparison with the yield of
1884, taking the figures of the agricultural
bureau at Washington for the yield ofs last
year. The reports of the correspondents
include not only the approximate actual
acreage, but also the percentage of condition
as compared to last year and the percentage
of increase or decrease in average. This was
done to approximate as closely as possible
the actual output, the correctness of which
method was demonstrated very fully in the
estimate of wheat on June by this bureau,
and to which figures all the recognized sta
tisticians, including the government bureau,
have gradually approached. In Indiana,
Illinois and Kansas the crop is closely COM
puted. In the comparison by states the re-
turns show that Indiana. Iowa, Minnesota
and Missouri have slight increase in aver
age over 1884, and Wisconsin is the only
state showing decrease, but both Mime
sofa and Wisconsin show decrease i'll con-
dition and Missouri also, shows a slight de-
crease. The other states all reveal an i'm
provement, and in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana
the improvement is remarkable. The result
is shown in. the following comparison by
states of thE probable yield in the ten states
named, with the excess over last year:

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-The New York
team will arrive at the Clifton house to-
morrow, and will appear upon the home
grounds Tuesday for the first of their last
series of 1885 with the White Stockings.
Upon the result of these games will, in a
great measure, depend the championship,
and the league management is adopting
every precaution against any hitch or mis-
understanding in the contests. Mr.. n. E.
Dung, president of the National league,
has accepted President Spalding's invitation
to attend the four games, and his presence
will insure fair and competent umpiring,
for in him alone is vested the power to re-
verse any decision or remove an umpire
during a game and appoint another in his
place. Presidents Allen of Providence

officials will occupy a private box. So large

Paul, Des Moines, Quincy, Rock Island,

INDIAN SCHOOLS.
The Power to Appoint Teachers to
BE Taken From All Agents.

The Power to Appoint Teachers TO
BE Taken From All Agents.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-One of the
things that is going to be reformed presently
in fact the reform has already begun-is
in the appointment of teachers for Indian
schools. The present practice is for the
agent to appoint them. The theory
underlying this is that the agents
are bonded officers, and responsible
for everything at the agencies, and there
fore they ought to have the power of select
ing their own subordinates. The agents
usually appoint their wives, sisters, daugh-
ters, aunts or cousins, except in the rare
cases where they have no female relatives.
The agents have a sort OF excuse for this
in the smallness of their own salaries. The
salaries of agents run down as low as
81, 900, and the highest salary is $4,000.
An average salary is $1,000. This meager
income has to be elled out someway, and a
convenient way OF doing it is to appoint
one or more members of the agents family
as teachers. Of course, the agent is not
interested in the question of the teachers
fitness. Already two training schools
have been
SEPARATED FROM THE AGENCIES,
so that the superintendent Of the school is
the responsible officer. empowered to select
teachers. 1t is intended to carry this change
throughout the training schools. and then
supplement this separation Of schools from
the authority of agents by requiring
applicants for places as teachers
to procure certificates showing
they have passed teachers examinations in
the counties where they live, and have
had some experience in teaching. From
the Yankton agency the agent reports that
the parents will not send their children.
There are several hundred children at the
agency, and the school house will accommo-
date eighty pupils, but only half dozen
children are attending. BY the terms of
the treaty of 1858 with the Yankton In
dians the latter agreed to put all their chill
dren at school, from the age of to 1S,
and the government reserved the right to
withhold their annuities from parents who
refused to send their children. The COM
missioner of Indian affairs has instructed
the Yankton agent to call the attention of
Indian parents TO these provisions of the
treaty and to enforce the penalty if they
still refuse to send their children.

THE BRITISH WHEAT CROP.
over Eight Million Quarters for Sale
After Deducting for Seed.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Sept. 27.-The Mark Lane
Express publishes an estimate of this years
crop. The final conclusion is more favora-
BILE than the earlier reckonings were, and
shows the wheat crop to be above the aver
age in all parts of Great Britain, while the
crop of oats is under tha average. The
estimated yield of wheat is thirty bushels
to the acre. On this reckoning the wheat
crop of Great Britain will amount to over
5000, ,0G0 quarters, of which 1000, 900 will
be required for seed, leaving more than
5000, 600 quarters for sale. Taking the
present average value of wheat to be SO
shillings, the total value of the wheat
crop is about $70,0W,00 There
has been considerable decrease
in the number OF acres sown,
and the decrease in production has been
simultaneous with great increase in the
number of cattle, showing that much of
the former wheat average has been used as
pasture. Of course the Roumelian news
of last week has been made the base of an
advance in the price of wheat, but prices
did not show any stability. and closed at a
considerable decline.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The New York
Base Ball club, accompanied by several
hundred sporting men and lovers of base
ball, left for Chicago tonight by the Penn
sylvania railroad. They were all in the
best of spirits, and were confident they
would bring back the pennant with them
''You may be sure" several members of
the team said, ''that-we are going to play
to the best of our ability, and if there is
such a thing as winning we are going to do
it." President Day, who goes with the
club to Chicago, said he never saw ball
nine start out with such firm determina-
ton to play winning game, and he had
not the slightest doubt about their winning
the pennant. Besides Mr. Day the board
of directors, and in fact everyone connected
with the club, went with the nine. The
betting, which is very little, is In favor of
Chicago.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Sept. 27.-A sensational at
tempt at suicide was made by young lady
OF Chicago on Rock Island train near this
city last night. When Conductor Morgan
went through the train shortly after leav-
ing Chicago his attention was attracted to a
young lady who was in seat all by herself
and gave the conductor ticket for Daven-
port. When the train was about half way
between Chicago and Joliet, the conductor
missed the woman and at once began a
search for her. She was found seated
on a platform between two Of the
coaches and appeared to be in a dazed
condition. She was removed to place OF
safety in one of the cars, and shortly after
ward began to have spasms, SO that it re-
quired the united efforts Of several passen-
gers to hold her. At the next station thu
conductor telegraphed to this city to have 2

when the train arrived at midnight the sd
was taken to hotel and efforts made to
save her life. After three hours Of labor
the patient was out of danger The young
woman said her name was Cora Kleeberger,
and that she had been employed as short

This yYeei.s Feature.

The feature of this week will be the New
York-Chicago series on the Chicago
grounds Great interest is being manifested
in these games, as they will practically de-
eide which club will be champions for 1885,.
Both clubs will put their best men in the
field and the games will no doubt prove
close and interesting. The Chicago club,
as will be seen by the record, leads the
New York by two games, but number of
base ball enthusiasts believe that New York
has the stronger team and will be able to
win the majority of games from Chicago.
Should it win three out of four, which is a
bare possibility, the two clubs will be
even in games won and lost, and the fight
for the pennant would be most interesting
until the last The contest would grow
fiercer and more interesting and both clubs
would undoubtedly win all their other
games. which would result in a
tie that would bring the two
together again in final. The attendance
at Chicago to witness these games promises
to be the largest that ever attended a series
of ball games. 1t is expected that the at
tendance during the four games will aggre-
gate so, 900, but this estimate is only a min
imum. Thr railroads will run

Natalie of Seryia.

Through her paternal grandmother, Nine
Balsa, the queen of Servia, is descended
from one of the most remarkable families
in Europe. Historical research has proved
beyond doubt that the Roumanian Balsas
are direct descendants of the Servian
Balsas, who were in the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries ruling princes of Monte
grneo and North Albania. The Servian
Balsas were branch of the Provencal
family of Les BaulX, of which several men,
berS accompanied Charles /. of Anjou to
the conquest of Naples, and established
themselves there under the name of BalZa,
whilst some of their numerous representa-
tives crossed the Adriatic to Servia, where
at that time Helene de Courtnay was the
queen. The Provencal BaulX were pre-
eminently distinguished for love of poetry,
Some were themselves poets, and many a
troubadour has sung of the wit and beauty
of their women and of the generosity aad
yalor of their men. Adelais de Baulx was
sung by the famous troubadour Pierre
Vidal, and Laurette and Phanette de Baulx
inspired some of the most beautiful of the
troubadour lays. Petrarch's Laura was
herself a descendant on one side at least of
the Provencal Les Baulx. The pictur-
esque ruins of the old Castle le Baulx are
still to be seen in the neighborhood of
Aries.
Queen Natalie of Servia has inherited,
with the traditional beauty of the Les
Baulx women, their wit and their feryor.
Her majesty has had the good fortune
to be educated by an English lady. and, as
consequence, speaks English fuently,
and has imbibed what some people cali
. English notiOns'-vIz.: she is indefati-
gable in all sorts of charitable works. edu-
Gates orphans, helps poor women, supports
schools, and encourages national literature
and industry. In fact, almost all charitable
institutions of Seryia are under her special
protection. But even in recreation she
evinces her English taste. having passion
for garden parties, including croquet and
lawn tennis.
