Rumor of Congressman McAdoo's Re-
moval to Virginia.

A New York paper publishes statement
that Congressman William McAdoo, of New
Jersey, will remove this summer to Virgil
MIA, and gives the following story about
him: "Some years ago McAdoO married the
daughter of one of the leading families OF
Virginia. She is handsome and cultured
woman. She has charm such as is pos
sessed by Amelie Riyes, the authoress. Her
husbands ability WAS recognized at once in
the Old Dominion State. Since his marriage,
Mr.. and Mrs. McAdOO have lived but little
in New Jersey. Jersey City, the Congress
mans legal residence, has seen them
scarcely at all. They spent summer or
two at the seashOrc, occupying cottage
one season at Ocean Beach. The rest of the
time has been spent in Washington aud at
Mrs. McAdOo's house in Virginia. The
Congressman is said to have been fortunate
in land and other Southern spcculations.
and TO have amassed already snug little
fortune. His business interests as well as
his domestic, consequently, bind him 10 the

The weather and the Crops.

The weather crop bulletin Of the Signal
| Office for the week ending June llth, says:
| The week was cooler than usual In the cen
| trail valleys, New England and the south
west, the deficiency in temperature being
slight except over Texas, where the
daily average temperature was from
| five TO eight degrees below the
normal. The temperature Tor inc
season. from January lst TO June
If. continues in excess generally over the
States east of the Mississippi and over the
territory west of the Mississippi, south OF
the fortieth parallel. There has been an
excess Of rainfall for the week generally
throughout the central valleys, the lower
| lake region, Northern New England ana
Western New York, the heaviest rains oc-
curing in Texas and the west gulf states,
where over Il large area the precipitation eN-
ceeded two inches, The rainfall for the
season generally continues IN excess over
| the central valleys, the lake region, north
ern portions of New England and The
middle Atlantic States. and on the Pa
cdc cOas. north of the thirty-lilth parallel.
| The weather mas been favorable for grow
ing crops in the Northwest during the past
week. The condition of the wheat is re-
ported as excellent in South Dakota and
northern Nebraska, and has been much I'M
| proved by recent rains III North Dakoia'
while in southern Nebraska the wheat crop
is in poor condition. The crop has been
slightly injured in some sections by heavy
rains and rust has appeared in some local.,
ties. Crop conditions are reported
as greatly improved in Kentucky and Ten
nessee; tobacco setting nearly completed
and plants doing well. Reports from the
Cult and South Atlantic States indicate
that the weather conditions have been iay-
orabe for the cotton crop, and IN the
eastern portion of this region, including
South Carolina, prospects were never bette
for an abundant yield. In the Middle At
Iantic States and New England the rainfall
was generally in excess, but high temporal
| ture and average sunshine favored The
growth OF all crops. The harvesting of a
large hay crop is in progress in these Sec
tons, while the grain crops, especially oats
have doubtless been injured by wet wealth
er, and promise a yield much below the
average. In Virginia all crops were I'M
proved except tobacco, which was slightly
| injured by dry, hot weather.
