George II. We're, an English law clerk,
slender, dark conn plex ioned man Of me
dium height and middle age, who had
been wandering the streets OF New York
penniess aUl sick IN the rain for four
nights and who for three days has been
without food, passing by Dclmonico's on
Monday night caught pimpscs OF tho gay
thropg eating and drinking comfortably
within, and expressed his exasperation ut
The sight by smashing with paving stone
one of the windows on the broadway side.
As he expresses II himself:
:" / was going past, and j saw the swells
inside eating and drinking, and clinking
their glasses and looking so happy and
careless. and thought isn't II paradox
that should be wandering about out hero
in the wet. ragged and cold and miserable,
while others so near are feasting on tho
most cxpensivs luxurcs they can find
Then had a sudden impulse ] was half
mad with hunger and with the sciatica In
my head, and didn't care what did nor
what the consequences werc. ! didn't
throw the stone to hurt anybody, for the
shades were drawn on that side, and
couldn't even see that there was anybody
near the window"
We're was seized at once by persons who
saw him throw the stone, and handed over
to n policeman who came up moment
later. lie was held at Jefferson market
court on Tuesday In 81 900 bail for trial ON
u charge of malicious mischief, and was
locked up in default of bail. lie said he
was law clerk in Lincolns Inn, London,
that he came out here two years ago
and went to Florida, where hc worked
on an orange grove during the season.
We're was taken sick aflcr he got to New
York with rheumatism and lay in Brooklyn
lodging houses until few days ago. He
had little money, but soon had to fall
back upon his clothes To get food. He

two weeks he has been in rather feeble

What President Harrison Says of Rcv-
erIy fuckers Appointment.
Both Harrison and Blaine are in state
of irritation over the llaytian commission.
The interview between them Tuesday
morning might have been somewhat
heated If it had not been that Blaine
brought Lew Wallace with him Wallace
had Just been to tell Blaine what he wanted
to tell the president that he did not want
to 20 TO IIayti that he wanted to 90 on to
West Point as u member of the board OF
visitors, which was the business which
brought him hithcr, and that unless his
presence on the Iiaytian commission was
considered Indispensable he must decline.
The president told him to wait until it
should be finally determined whether any
commission should be sont to Ilnyti. Then
the president asked Blaine how he came
to recommend such man as Beverly
Tncker, whom he had been told was not
only indicted for conspiracy in connection
with the assassination of President Lincoln
and In connection with an attempt to intro
duco yellow fever into Northern cities dur
ing the war; and other anti Mon plots but
whose accounts as consul to Liverpool,
before the war, had never been settled be-
cause of deficiency of s2l 900.
Blaine il reported to have said that he
was not aware that any of these charges
had been proved against Tucker, and that
In the absence of proof he would accept
fuckers denial, especially ~ Presiden,
Grant himself had invited Tucker back
from Canada; President Hayes had ap
pointed him Chinese commissioner and
President Garfield n visitor TOT the nava
academy, to say nothing of other appoint.
mcnts under Republican administrations
lIe said that Tucker had been recon-.
mended to him by ex-senator Henry q.
Davis, of West Virginia, and stephen b,
Eikins, his son-in-law, who had taken
Tucker into business relations, namely
into West Virginia Central railroad, OF
which Blaine is also director. The presi-
dent told aine.fanlly that he thought he
had made great blunder, which would
harm his administration, because no good
explanation of il could he offered. The
only thing to do now was to try 10 rcpaii

Blaine left the White House 10 go down

THE May report on the condition Of win
ter grain Is very favorable. The present
winter wheat crop has had good degree of
immunity from adverse conditions, from
the day of seeding to the present time.
With general exemption from drought, n
plant bed in medium tilth, mild weather
late in autumn for growth of stalk, high
winter temperature for root developmcnt,
at least up to February, and an unusual
avoidance Of injury by the changeableness
of March, the condition Of wheat In April
was necessarily quite favorable. as np-
peared in the previous report. There was
one somewhat remarkable popularity Of
the record Of the temperature In February;
IL was much lower than the normal, and
actually lower than in January, except IN
the South. yet no serious injury 10 the
wheat followed" Tho report from
Lancaster is good. and with the exception
of Iackawanna and Nenango all wheat re-
ports from Pennsylvania are very cheering.
Rye and barley are also generally reported
in good condition. Meadows and pastures
throughout the country are in fine condi-
tion.

MNaicilnmS Mil RnhhDrIcs,

The mails arriving in Reading for the
past year have been mysleriously and
Systematically robbed, and the officials are
entirely at sea as To who is the thief. Letters
containing checks, drafts, postal orders,
etc, have been missing by the wholesale,
and half dozen inspectors, who have been
placed on the case, have been unable to
ferret out the guilty parties. Mails coming
from New York, Philadelphia and Pitts
burg are alike robbed and mystery SUR
rounds their disappearance which is
simply unexplainable. one Reading firm
last week alone lost sixteen hundred
dollars in checks and drafts, and others
have similar reports To make. Among
business men the excitement is great. The
payment of the stolen checks and drafts
was stopped.

The C'rOnin Case.

The Cronin mystery does not fade
away before the light the detectives and
police throw upon II, and IL remains in a
nne condition for the en,erprising
genius of the Chicago papers. They
have already produced several alarming
sensations of the kind that Western
readers appear TO enjoy and before the
thing is worn out the most versatile and
brilliant liars In Chicago will probably
be quite exhausted. Meanwhile the
police are making good deal of
noise over few men who hardly
seem worth the noforiety. Private
Detective Bruce gets well advertised by
m improbable story Of how lac was
offered a large sum Of money TO kill
6ronin and was paid part Of il in ad-

The Story Of Friction.

There is so much talk going around of
friction between the president and his
cabinet over the appointments TO office,
that II may be assumed that there is
something Of truth i'm 1t, however Wig
OrOus the denials and II Is noticed that
these are not very vigorous. The main
trouble seems to Ike that the president
proposes to Ike boss and that he further
fnclines to 20 slow, that he may give
personal consideration to the appoint
ments and he is quite happy that the
plan he adopts of only making new ap-
pointments at the expiration Of the old
commissions gives him opportunity to go
slow as well as to satisfy civil service re-
form.
Mfr. Blaine, the head of the cabinet,
who has been hitherto esteemed IA very
lively sort Of man, has not shown much
friskiness since he entered the cabinet,
though he Is giving some sign. of life at
present. Gen. Lew Wallace and Col.
Beverly Tucker, the former Union gen
eral and the latter bowling Confeder-
ate, were put on the commission to go
down to Hayti, and staid there two
% b8lrs when ii was learned that Hypo-
just Twas conquerer of the country,
the q,that there was no longer need
rs discoa commission to inquire how
y on contest there was To end. If
e|H.. Blaine -ii.dosced the president To
'select Beverly Tucker as a foreign envoy,
II can hardly be said that his recon-
mendations are not effective. Nor can
this be said of them in face of the fact
that Blaine's private secretary has been
made consul To Liverpool, one of the
fattest gifts of the state department.
The plIysiognomy of this secretary has
been printed in the country journals,
and does NOT show a type of greatness
above the private secretary order. so
that Mr.. Blaine seems 10 Ike getting
along very well 50 far. Doubtless the
president is a slower goer than he
would Ike in his place but this is hardly
a misfortune for the country. Jingo
Elaine needs amore sober paced superior.

WE publish an account of the rapid ex-
tension of the cultivated area of the
country taken from tho May report on
winter grain just issued by the agricul-
tural department. A large portion Of this
same report is devoted 10 answering an
inquiry of the National Grange n to the
export trade In our agricultural products,
and the possibility of extending II. In
view Of the enormous increase of acreage
the reply of the department is not cncour-
aging and must lac particularly gloomy
news for the high tariI farmer. This bu-
reau now under control of the high tax
men reports as follows;
- One-tenthof our agricultural products
Is exported. No other nation exports so
large proportion. Yet the articles
shipped abroad are few. They are cotton
tobacco, meats, breadstuils, and cheese.
AIS other articles together are hut per
cent. of the exports. Seyen-tonths of tho
cotton product seeks foreign markets the
quantity can not be increased except to meet
slowly augmenting demand for cotton
goods throughout the world, which is a, a
rate much slower than the growth of agri.
cultural population in the cotton states
The expectation of tobacco il not ncrcas-
ing materially or SO rapidly ~ home con

reduction in price. The exports of wheat

"What other products can he exported
II is folly to look to foreign nations for II
market of any of the bulky products of
girruliure which are common To the agri-
culture of every nation. Tho more con-
centrated products may hc proiitably eN-
ported. More cheese could be sold if its
reputation for quality should be kept up,
and there were more disposition TO cater to
fastidons or peculiar foreign tastes. But
ter exports could he enlarged if they were
of better quality. Eraporated or pre-
served fruits, oranges of the Southern or
Pacific coasts, wines from California, may

ganizations To promote variety of pro-
