POTATO CROP a FAILURE.

had Reports from States North Of the
Ohio Rlvsr-Averaglng tho Prohsbie
& Yield, II VIII Be tho smallsst Ever
Known.
CHICAGO, Aug. l6-According to re-
ports from the principal States north of
the Ohio river it appears that the potato
crop this season will be almost
failure Averaging the probable
yield in these States it will be
the smallest ever known in ono
season. In some parts the failure is al
most complete, in others the yield is
fair, but nowhere above the average.
The surplus will be small, hence prices
higher, though the unfavorable season
precludes the raising of any superior
quality. In many places there Will not
be enough for home consumption.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Dako-
tas are the only States in the North west
where there is any prospect OF surplus
of potatoes, and even there 1t is not
large. The province of Ontario, Cana
da, makes good showing. There is =
tariff Of Is cents bushel, but prices
are much lower in the province than in
the States. so the tariff would not en-
nance prices above home market in case
potatoes are imported.
There seems to be alamentable short
age in Kansas, and Nebraska is little
better of. Iowa is favored little
more, but the greatest shortage ever
known prevails in Indiana, Ohio and H.
linois. Although the season began
with an extraordinary fall of rain, con-
tinuing through several weeks, the
principal cause of the failure of the
potato crop seems to be the drought.
The last few weeks, the most important
to the crop, were unusually dry, and
caused scarcity OF potatoes in the hills.
The observations upon which the
above conclusions are based cover the
entire area from Nebraska to the At
lantic seaboard, including the States of
Minnesota. Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Illinois, Ohio. Indiana, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Missouri, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
New York, Massachusetts, Colorado
and the province of Ontario, Canada.
DUBLIN, Aug. 16.-The potato blight
is spreading in the counties of Donegal,
Cork, Waterford, Tipperary and Liner
lex. Prices have already doubled at
Westport, where the guardians and the
Government authorities are exerting
themselves to avoid rioting. Tho
blight has spread to the whole of Gal
way and is not confined to any particu-
lar soil. 1t is partly due to the plant
ing Of old seed in old ground, but in a
greater degree to the rainy season.

Suggestions.

The Chief of Police Roasts the
Central Station and Makes a
Suggestion.
Chief of Police Clark, in speaking of
the present city lookup, said to a
GLOBE representative yesterday: 81
consider that the place is totally unfit
for use, and proper building for police
headquarters should be erected without
delay. OF course the change must come,
and it would be as we'll if it came now
instead of being delayed further. The
place is SO infested with vermin and
rats, that if it were not for the press
ence of a vigi!ant cat, l believe the
rodents would run off with the
officers stationed there. Men have
been placed in the cells who
were very we'll dressed when
have been covered with vermin. A
janitor was appointed last week to keep
the place as clean as possible, but it
was impossible to 90 much. as the place
is in terrible condition. My idea OF
police headquarters is to ere ct an ade-
quate building, in which all the offices
of the police department should be situ-
ated. At present two sets of offices are
necessary. owing to my Office being in
the court house. Suitable sleeping
apartments should be provided for at
least twenty-five men, so that in case of
a riot or serious fires we would have cur
men concentrated, instead of at present
having them scattered over the city. 1t
would, also, be of great advantage to
the officers, as they would appre-
ciate the benefits of an ade-
quate building, which should also pos
sess good reading room and gymna-
SUM. | am in hopes that the matter
will receive the attention OF the next
legislature"
+ The chief inspector of buildings, Gates
A. johnson, in commenting upon the
condition of the central lookup, said to
GLOBE representative yesterday:
"This department does not possess the
power to condemn the property so long
as the structure is safe. 1t would come
in the province of the health officer to
condemn it, if it is in such state as to
be menace to health. From what /
have seen of the place have no doubt
but that all that has been said of it Is
perfectly true"

NOT INDIFFERENT.
st. Paul People and the Indicted
Census Enumerators.

There is a general impression that
st. Paul people are Indifferent in regard
to the indicted census enumerators. A
prominent member of the chamber of
commerce yesterday remarked: while
every one desires the punishment of
the guilty. yet that innocent men
should be put in jail or be unprovided
with counsel simply because they were
unable to bear the expense, would be
burning shame. | wish that it could be
known that Saturday and Monday
gentlemen went from here to
go ON the bond of all the
st. Paul enumerators who were
unprovided with bonds, and counsel
was provided for all. They were lit
tie late in getting there, but the court
officers had been wired they were COM
ing. Had the court been held in st.
Paul there would have been no delay.
1t was only the trouble of getting gen
tlemen to go to Minneapolis on Satur-
day. half holiday, and Monday, which
is always busy day. But they went
all the same. and found bail given in
some cases by Minneapolis parties"

Two Works of Art.

Exhibited in the millinery depart
ment of Schuneman & Evans are two
pictures which are attracting great at
tention and admiration. They are poetic
creations in oil, and are the work of Miss
l.. Hodges, of San Francisco, niece of
Mrs. P. 3. Groat, of this city. One rep
resents Psyche, just AS she is about to
open the vase she is bearing from the
Plutonian regions, whichsconveys some
of Proserpine's beauty to Venus. The
other pictures Hero as she stands On
the high tower overlooking the Helles-
pont, ready to give the torch signal to
her lover, Leander. The idealism in
both is exquisite, and the execution
beautiful. While the drawing and colors
are made with Photographic accuracy,
and while the blending is done with the
smoothness of chrome, there is a
wondrous beauty and grace in the
paintings. Not stroke of the brush
was made for effect, but every one for
absolute naturalncss. Some of the bess
critics of the city have pronounced the
two paintings to be works OF art.

RED LIGHTS OVER EXITS.

A Suggestion for Theaters Which
the Building Inspector Approves.
A suggestion made yesterday to the
CHER inspector of buildings, anent plac-
ing red lights over the exit doors of
theaters. met with his hearty approval.
In theaters lighted by gas. in case OF
fire, the gas man will always turn off
the supply; that is, if he retains his pres
ence of mind. Where house is lighted
by electricity entirely, sudden acct
dent may plunge the house in darkness.
In such a state of affairs a panic will
happen, which will be intensified by
the fact that the audience cannot see
the location of the exit doors. The very
small precaution of having small
pendant lamp, with red globe, over
the doors, was first introduced by Henry
Irving in his theater in London. Eng.
and soon after the city, council made it
compulsory for all theaterS to be pro-
vided with the lamps. The cost is a
trifie, but tine benefit derived cannot
