CROP REPORTS
A Great Increase in the Wheat Yield:
Other Crops. -

A Great Increase in the Wheat Yield:
Other Crops. - - &
The report of the Department Of Agricul-
ture for October gives the local estimates Of
yie.d per acre Of small grains, with condition
OF corn, potatoes and other late crops The
results corroborate the previous returns Of
wheat, confirming expectations Of slight in.
crease for the first records OF threshing,
without making any very material addition
to the crop aggregate. The average yield
upon an acre Of fully thirty seven million
acres appears to be close to l2A bushels per
acre, making the crop an average OF a series
Of years The area actually harvested Is now
the principal object of exact determination.
The result will vary little from an increase
of 100, 100000 bushels over the crop Of last,
year.
The average yield per acre Of oats is 26.6
bushels, making crop Of over 600, 600, 900
bushels The barley crop average 22.4 bushels
per acre, and the product will come nearly
up to sixty bushels The average yield OF the
rye crop is l.. 8 bushels per acre, and the prod
uct over @ 1000, ,Oo0 bushels.
The high Temperature Of September and
absence Of frost have improved corn crop
prospects, and made the expectations OF 50
bushels Der acre and rendered certain crop
of at least 1850, ,O00, 900 bushels.
The general average Of October condition.
of potatoes is 81, against SO last year. The
tobacco average condition Is nearly 81.
The promise Of buckwheat Is for q crop
slightly under average. Condition In New
York and Philadelphia 81, whichf is nearly the
general average

Mr.. George B. Loring, in an address
before the New England Agricultural
Society, of which he is President, made
exceptions to the use of the term "thor-
oughbred" in connection with any other
animal than the horse. lie said: "a
thoroughbred animal means horse. A
thoroug ghbred horse is just as much a
specific breed of horse as an Arab, a Nor
gan or o Percheron, or anything else, and
the use of thoroughbred in this connec-
ton is entirely unworthy m intelligent
and literary society. The term should
be pure bred Let US abandon the use
of the term. If you have pure bred
shorthorn, or pure bred Devon, or o
pure bred Morgan, it is not thorough
bred animal. They talk about thorough
bred pigs now! The word never applies
to anything except race of horses bred
in England for speed. So hope the
tru tees, when they make up their list
another year, will put in pure bred in
stead of Thoroughbred"

Governor Hauscr, of Montana Terri
tory, in his annual report, says agricui-
ture there this season has been almost q
failure. by reason of the unusually light
fall of snow last winter and the drought
last summer; that the most serious loss
to the Territory is that of the natural
grasses upon which vast herds of cattle,
horses and sheep are fed; that should
the approaching winter be severe great
loss must inevitably follow. Some stock
owners, he says, are driving their herds
into the British possessions TO winter.
He thinks Congress should provide for
allowing stockmen to Craze their ami
mails on the Indian reservations, for
which the Indians have little or no use.
He estimates the number Of cattle in the
Territory at 1900, 900; horses, 13o, 200,
and sheep, 100000. The permanent
population of the Territory is placed at
10000, an increase of about 10000
during the year. Mine products he es-
Inmates as follows: Gold, gross value,
$s,45O, 900; silver, $4,000, 900; copper,
ss,0oo,oOo; lead, 1,a5o,oOo. Total,

SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Decree of the Court in the Case of
the Chicago Anarchists.

Decree of the Court in the Case of
the Chicago Anarchists.
The trial Of the eight anarchists held re-
sponsible for the massacre at the Haymarket,
Chicago, has at last been brought to an end.
Seven Of the prisoners-A r. Parsons, Au-
gust Spies, Samuel Fielden, Louis Lingg,
George Engel, Michael Schwab and Adolph
Fischer-have been sentenced to be hanged,
and Oscar Neebe has been condemned to un-
dergo fifteen years imprisonment at hard
labor.
Tho scene in the court room was, according
to Chicago dispatch, a most impressive
oDa Judge Gary, who has always been con-
sidered the coldeSt and hardest man on the
Bench, showed more emotion than he was
ever thought capable of. His voice faltered
and he was much affected. The prisoners
all took the sentence calmly and
coolly, except Schwab who is a broken and
nervous man. He grew pale and gasped for
breath. The others had apparently long ago
given up all hope and knew what was coming.
They have made up their minds to die
bravely in the hope Of being looked upon
hereafter as martyrs to great cause.
The closing scenes were watched with the
profoundest interest by the public, and for
moro tLau an hour the street in front Of the
Court House was thronged by an eager
crowd not one-tenth Of whom could possibly
hope to gain admittance. The police were in
full force all over the court room, and there
was more than the ordinary large attendance
of ladies. The prisoner Parsons was the last
of the prisoners to address the court in re-
sponse to the Judges demand whether they
had anything to say why sentence should
not be passed He spoke continuously five
hours and forty minutes.
When the sentenced was passed. all the
prisoners rose and began slowly to walk out Of
the court room with the bailiffs who had thsm
in charge AS they rose, Mrs. Parsons came
up and kissed her husband. Mrs. Ames also
kissed Parsons on the cheek The relatives of
the other defendants wrung their hands, but
none Of the women shed a tear. They aimed
to cheer up the condemned men by a show Of
fortitude. The condemned men passed
slowly out of the courtroom to the Jail. AS
Parsons passed some police officers he drew
his hand across his throat i'll O significant
manner.
A daugter was born in West Polk street
at the same hour that her father, Samuel
Fielden, in Judge Gary's court, began Civ
ing reasons why sentence Of death should not
be passed upon him. But few who listened to
Fielden's plea guessed tho cause of the added
bitterness in his bitter speech. Tho
knowledge of tho scene being enacted at his
little home made his burden harder to bear.
The mother was heartbroken at the thought
of the improbability Of the newborn babo
ever seeing her father.

General Booth of the Salvation Army

General Booth of the Salvation Army
gave Toronto reporter this account OF
the naming of the Army: zone of my
secretaries was writing little tract de-
scribing the movement, and he wrote on
the title page: The Christian mission Is
volunteer army leaned over his
shoulder, took his pen out of his hand,
crossed out the word volunteer and
wrote salvation We likel the sound
of it, seeing that it really described what
the organization was-a body formed
and united after the fashion of an army,
with the purpose of delivering men from
sin and the devil. So we adopted the
name Salvation Army nine or ten years
ago. The terms general, captains, lieu
tenants, etc., soon followed. The drums,
flags, banners, and the like were adopted
gradually, in carrying on the purpose OF
attracting the people"

st. Louis cattle synditat of which MIR.
Neidringhaus is prominent member. For

The Office of Alderman in the Argen-
tine Republic is not sinecure. In the
Bahia Blanca municipality the Council
for some days could not get legal
quorum owing to the absence of some of
the members. At last, one day when
the Council was lacking one of aquorum,
two policemen sailed out among the
saloons and found "a prominent Alder
man." and, says Buenos Ayres journal,
.'thcy towed him into the hall and held
him down on his seat while the sitting
lasted" The public crowded to enjoy
the fun, the more so as His Honor, the
Mayor, was suspended from his functions
on the same occasion for neglecting to
preside at the peculiar ''sittiag."

The French scientific journal La Mature

The French scientific journal La Mature
describes aud illustrates machine for
making a product which is coming into
favor in various different employmcnts
under the name of wood wool. AS its
name implies, this material is simply
wood cut into such fine shavings that
it answers many of the purposes to which
wool is commonly applied. Although it
was at first intended merely as packing
material it was soon found that it had
a much more extended field of usefulness.
It is employed for stuffing mattresses, as
bedding for cattle, for the filtration OF
liquids, etc. It is elastic like horse hair
and is beautifully clean in use. The
wood used by preference is Riga fir, and
the machine will produce, without any
necessity for skilled labor, more than
1900 pounds of 'wool" per day OF ten
hours.

At the meeting of the Emperors re-
Gently held at Gastein the German
Princes wore the Austrian uniform.
They have been in the habit of doing SO
now for many years. The Pail Mall Co.
sette says that the origin of this custom
dates from the courtesy OF a monarch
whose life is more associated with feats
of war than with the scrupulous OBJ
servance of the details Of a chamberlain's
office. In ITO Frederick the Great had
to pay visit to the Emperor OF Austria.
The visit, which was rather critical
one, was paid at the castle Of Neustadt,
in Morav.a. It was only seven years be-
fore that Prussia had been engaged in
her great struggle with the Empire, and
had thoroughly beaten Austria. Fred
erick feared that the too familiar blue
uniform might now awaken unpleasant
memories. He did not, indeed, wish to
discard the costume which belonged to
bis country, so he discreetly adopted q
compromise. He and all his staff ap-
peared at Neustadt, not, indeed, in Aus.
srian uniform, but in colors that were
not far removed from it. The coats were
white, the ornaments and facings OF
silver, and there were no epaulettes. II
it were not Austrian costume it certainly
was not Prussian. That was the pre-
cedent for a rule that now obtains, at
least on the continent, that when a
crowned head visits brother soverign's
court, he and his suite wear the uniform
Of the country in which they are guests.

sells Crew.
British Consul De Fonblanaue, aided by
two British shipmasters, has completed at
New Orleans an investigation Of the matter
of the bark Montreal and her rescue by
Capt Sattalora. The latter entered suit in
the United States court for salvage, claim
ing that he helEed the bark off the reefs,
took her to Campeachy, had her repaired,
placed new crew on board, and brought
her to New Orleans. The bark had q terrible
experience. She was floating post house.
From the day she left Colon there was
yellow fever on board. One by one
the crew expired and the bodies were
thrown overheard Finally there were
only two men left who could
do any work at all. The ship was reeking
with pes.ilente There was black vomit
everywhere. The provisions were polluted
with it. and the foul clothing poisoned the
air the sailors breathed. When there was
hardly any one left to man the vessel bur-
ricane swept the bark before it Sails
were torn away; every moment brought
some new danger. The men had lost
their bearings and could only guess
whittier the wind had taken them. Finally
the vessel went aground on reef. The wind
unity Of land, yet none of the men deserted
from pest house, but not one of them even
thought OF deserting, because, as they said,
they thought they could save her.
The decision of the Consul's court was that
the bark had not been abandoned, and the
sick and dying on board remained by to save
her, though they had an opportunity to go
ashore
