At the meeting of the Women's
Foreign Miss onary Society in Pittsburg
a few DAYS ago, Mrs. Thorne, secretary
and treasurer, read a letter she had
just received from the missionaries in
japan. The letter relates to the present
condition of things in China, and sets
forth the absolute necessity of strong
treaty stipulations for the protection OF
the missionaries The Chinese out
RACES in this country, the letter con-
tinues, have caused the greatest indig-
nation in China, and if they are con
tinued it is hard to tell what the result
will be. China is becoming aware Of
her power, and that she will use it il
aggravated there is not much doubt.

Official Crop Report.

upon reports received by the state
Board from its corps of regular
township correspondents, and fairly
represents the condition of crops
and stock, December 1st, 1886. The
comparisons for area are with the
last crop. Comparisons for condi-
tion of plant are with full aver
age condition:
Wheat--Area sown for harvest
of 1887, 1O1 per cent; estimated
number of acres, 2,7l1 ,233; condition
of plant, 81 per cent.
Rye--Area sown for harvest of
1887, 81 per cent; estimated num-
Der of acres, 53,507; condition of
plant, 9S per cent.
Barley-Area sown for harvest
of 1887, 9s per cent; estimated
number of acres, 30,0l9; condition
of plant, 9S per cent.
Corn-Product compared with a
full average, So per cent; quality,
"a percent.
Live Stocl1-Average condition,
90 per cent; hogs, marketed COM
pared with the total number fed,
81 per cent.
In the southern and western por-
tions of the State, especially the
corn regions, there is marked de-
crease in acres of wheat sown, oc-
casioned by the corn being badly
blown down and not cut up and
shocked to make ready for wheat.
In the grass regions of the State,
where much of the grass was killed
by drouth and the grub worm, and
where fall seeding for timothy
failed, wheat has been sown and
repeated, thus increasing the acre
age corresponding to the loss in
the corn districts, so that on the
whole, the wheat acreage for the
State is estimated as very slightly
increased over last year. The con.
dition of the wlent plant is little
below Il full average. In some
parts it is small and tender, but on
the whole generally healthy and
goes into winter in good condition
OF other crops there is nothing
special to report, except that giver
in the figures and in former re.
ports.
The condition of live stock, eX.
cept hogs, is generally good. The
low average condition, (ninety pei
cent? is due almost wholly tc
cholera among hogs, the decrease
prevailing in twenty-three counties
of the State. In some of the more
important hog growing districts
the loss is estimated as high as fifty
por cent.

John Templeton is IL blacksmith
who owns fine specimen of the
English mastitf. Last week Mr..
Templeton was working at his
forge, putting new steel in a
pick. The new steel was slightly
burned in the heating, and, instead
of welding, flew in half IL dozen
pieces. One piece struck the black
smith just above the right eye with
such force as to fasten itself In
firmly. The blacksmith staggered
and fell backward. How long he
was unconscious he does not know
but when he revived the dog lay
almost in the middle of the shop
crying almost like human being
and rub bing his jaws in the dust OF
the floor. The piece of steel that
had struck Mr.. Templeton lay a
short distance from the dog. The
faithful brute had seized tho hot
steel with his teeth and drawn II
from the frontal bone of Mr.. Tenn
pleton's head. The dogs mouth
was found to be badly burned.

A Farmers Taxes.

a farmer pays taxes on his land,
roads, schools, for the carrying on
of Courts and Other county pur-
poses, gold watch, if he has one;
also for the support of the poor, and
for the privilege of voting. He
pays q tax on his horses, cows,
sheep, hogs, dogs and other person
nj property. These taxes are under
the head of State and county tax
levied for the support of the Gov
ernment. But does it stop here?
Let us see. He pays II revenue on
his chewing and smoking tobacco
to protect the manufacturers in
this country; he pays u tax on his
plows, wagons, harrows, hoes,
horse-shoes, hammers, nails and
everything containg iron and steel
for the protection of the monopolies
and manufacturers in this country;
he pays tax when he ships wheat
and grain to the ports; he pays
tax on his milk-pans, tin-pails and
all other tinware for the protection
of monopolists; he pays a tax on
the lumber in his house, sugar, mo-
lasses and on all the clothing he
wears, and when he dies his friends
pay tax for his coffin. The fact
is a farmer pays a tax on
everything that goes through his
hands, either to support the Gov
ernment or protect some monopo-
ly, and yet the Republican party
says the Democrats are free-traders
because they want to reduce the
tariff. After enumerating the
above items of taxation we turn to
the other side and enumerate the
instances where farmer is pro-
tected. They have q tariff on wool
which protects them, but makes
them pay it all out again for the
clothes they wear; they have a tar
iff ON oleomargarine which pro-
tects them against that swindle,
and thus ends the chapter. They
have no protection against the inn
portation of corn, wheat, hay and
other prodncts, and still they rep
resent about two-thirds of the vot-
ing population and wealth of the
country. According to all laws of
self-protcction the farmers should
all be tariff reformers to the back
bone, and many of them are.-pF pFor-

MI. Jones' Attempt at JOk-
ing.

Jones was reading the daily pa
per; suddenly he looked up and
said:
"That's rather sad case about
that poor woman on Crogham
street whom the authorities refused
to bury"
II should say it wasw exclaimed
Mrs. Jones, Indignantly. "Why,
what shameful neglect! hope they
notified the Health Department.
Why did they refuse to bury her ?"
"Sfe wasn't dead" answered
Jones, gloomily. The antiquity Of
the joke struc., cold chill 10 her
heart, and Mrs. Jones was too in
dignant to speak. Mr.. j. kept on
reading, and after q while he
musingly remarked:
"They'll have cold day for the
race tomorrow"
"What race?" asked Mrs. Jones,
eagerly; she hadn't heard of any.
"The human race" said the mis-
erable plagiarist.
Mrs. Jones made a face. GAN.
other ancient witticism," she said,
in tone of contempt.
ayes, I acknowledge its antiq-
uity," replied Mr.. Jones. "IPs as
old as that ancient conumdrum,
"Where was Moses when the light
went out?' y"
There was long silence, which
was at last broken by Mrs. Jones
"Well, where was he? 2" she asked.
"Where was who?" inquired
Jones, who had been reading ul
the political situation.
"Why, Moses-you know-wher
the light went out?"
"Maria," said Mr.. Jones, with {
look of grave concern, ''your mint
must be affected; you will want tt
know next who was the father o
Zebedee's children, or why the tai
don't wag the dog, or what make
more noise under fence than

But Mrs. Jones said she hear(

leaving Jones to himself. 1t wa

The Toledo House In Ruins-sick inmates
Carried Out.
TOLEDO, O., March l3.-The Toledo
House Of Refuge, in the outskirts OF the
city, caught fire in the roof just before
noon, and will bs total loss. 1t belonged
to the city and cost about $4,000. There
are about eighty boys now inmates OF the
institution, most of whom were sent mere
because the industrial school at Lancaster
was too crowded, the State paying the city
for their maintenance under a contract
which expires April first. The fire is I'M
doubtedly incendisry, as q boy visited the
tank room, Immediately under the roof
about a quarter Of an hour before the
flames burst out.
SUI ,rintendent Mcdonald is absent at
tending a legislative investigation o. al
legged cruelty on his part toward inmates
the Legislative Committee being in session
at Cleveland to-day. The incendisrism
was probably prompted by the fear on the
part of the boy that the investigation Will
result in McDonald's vindication. Some
twelve BOYS were sick in the intirmary, but
all were carried out safely by the larger
inmates and employees. The building is
some three miles from the business portion
of the city, and by the time the engines
reached the spot the whole upper story was
q msss of flames. The city water mains
do not extend that far, aud from lack OF
water the entire structure and most OF the
contents will go. The building is q large
three.story brick, erected by the city. 1t
is fully insured, but particulars cannot now
be obtained.

Strike.
..Snecinl 10 The Sundau Rsqist,r.

PIEDMONT, March l3.--The situation IN
the Georges Creek region remains un'
changed. The Upper Potomac mines are
working as usual. In consequence Of the
lawlessuess aud rowdyism BY the strikers
at Elk Garden last night and early this
morning, the miners were completely de-
morslized and 80 inundated that no
work was done at these mines to-day.
The manager Of the same decided to close
them for a short time, the strikers who
were generally armed took possession OF
all the approaches to the mines and forbid
the men going to work under risk OF their
lives. There is no doubt but that large
majority of the men at Elk Garden mines
are anxious to work, and there would have
been no trouble there, had it not been for
the strikers from adjacent mines, AS 1t
has been reported generally that only 9
portion of Elk Garden miners were al
work it might be well to cay that there was
shipped from these mines this week fifty
seven hundred and thirty.four tons of coal.
1t is expected work will soon be resumed
again. The strikers cut the telephone and
and carried away three hundred feet Of
wire between Shaw and Minerville, Thurs
day night. The latest information received
here is that Clearfeld and Pocshontas are
both working.
