Editor LIGHT.
Having heard so much talk about
good crops around New Berlin, con-
cluded to 60 down and convince my
self.
Saturday morning Iprocured horse
and L started ont on my long and
tiresOme journey. The bronco / was
riding was daisy and reminded me a
good deal of Don QuiXote's Rosinante.
Instead of getting to New Berlin i'm
one hour and half 1 had to be eX-
posed to the hot sun for three solid
hours. Too much fun to talk about.
The horse just took me to the postof-
flee at New Berlin and no farther, and
l had to hire another one. Mr.. Ed.
Tewes showed me some of his fine
horses and it was real fun to look at
them. Cleveland Wilkes, a 2-year-old
stallion of his own raising, is already
10 hands high and just as nice piece
of hOrse-fiesh as can be found any
where. This shows that good horses
can be raised here in Texas just as
well as in any other state.
The crops look very well all
around New Berlin and cotton is adj
yanced more in growth there than
here, but corn will yield more to the
acre up here where the land is of a
black soil. Farmers expect to make
about so to 60 bushels to the acre.
The oat crop didn't turn out as well
as was expected, the of cause it being
too much rain. On some places the oats
are fiat on the ground and no ma
chine of any kind can cut them.
The average yield of oats is
about fifty bushels to the acre.
Farmers are satisfied with the pros
poets so far, but they complain of too
much rain and fear that the frequent
rains we have now will bring the cot
ton worm.
Well, Sunday returned to Marion
and found that nothing had changed
during the time was gone.
E. Seligmann is buying beeves now
to stock his new pasture. Cattle is
very cheap and this is the time to
buy. Messrs. A. Gelven and Foust
shipped two cars of beeves to New Or
leans and sold them at a good figure.
Mrs. Meurin, aged "a years, mother
of Ferd. Meurin, from here, died at
Cibolo Valley from congestion of the
bowels, being sick only twenty hours.
A grand picnic and ball will take
place at the grounds of the New Ber-
lin shooting club next Sunday, and a
big time is expected. BILL.

Gar Will Not Sanction.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 20.-It is
semi-officially stated that the car
has declined to sanction to the propo-
sal of Gen. Vannoneki, minister of
war, that the number of reserve batal-
lions be doubled, on the ground that
the proposed increase would be too
severe burden on the financial re-
sources of the empire, and because the
present political situation, in no wise
iustifies such measures.

Secret Session of Credential Com

CHICAGO, June 2O.-The credentials

o'clock and at once resumed the con-
sideration of the Virginia con-
tesU. After hearing briefly and
without decision, and considering the

numerically bi-contested election dis
tricts. The first and fourth, not
being contested, the second,
third, and fifth districts have
at noon presented their respect
i've claims, no vote being taken. The
Malone men are not hopeful of the
committees deciding in their favor,
but will carry the fight into the con-
ventiOn.

A rather funny scene occurred in
Upscheid saloon this morning when
a man atrired as priest entered and
wanted to sell Bible for 40 cents.

the party would not do so. Then
Frank told him to "scootn and he
"scooted" with all possible speed, but
whether the beer or "scoot" frighten-
ed him the most it is hard to deter

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, who has
been writing for the public over thirty
years, is only A years old. Youths
Companion printed her first story
written when she was 13. She began
Coates Ajar,n her best known hymn
book, in 1864.
William A. Smith, who died few
days ago in Richmond, enjoyed a
unique distinction. He resigned a
seat in congress because he did not
think he had sense enough to proper
ly represent his constituents. This is
the first, and will doubtless be the
last instance of the kind on record,

erected to the memory of the honest
man.
Sir Francis H. Doyle, whose remin-
iscences were published a short time
ago, and who was formerly professor

was an early friend of Mr.. Gladstone

been estranged.
The Duke of Marlborough, accord
ing to London gossips, is not going to
marry an American widow nor any
American, but his divorced wife, the
MarchiOness of Blandford. This
curious reunion, it is said, will be due
to the mothers desire to have her boy
from whom she has been separated
since 1888, to the dukes passion for
the Blandford millions and to the
willingness of both parties to adopt
the only course that will propitiate
society.
Mr.. Frederick Villiers, the war cor
respondent and artist of the London

to examine the hat close he found
written on the lining, in a concealed
spot, this entry in an unknown hand
"This hat was given to me by the
