Some years ago. writes Poultney Big
GLOW in lIarpor's Weekly, whilo making
an inspection OF the farms in the neigh
borhood of Berlin, TO which all tho sow
I. age OF that city is conveyed, was much
struck by tho remark of one OF our party,
a man of about forty years, vigorous
physique, sharp, clear eyes, and using
very few but very strong words.
''ln my opinion" said he, "our city is,
humanity speaking, beyond tho reach OF
epidemic"
This oracular expression mado littlc
impression on mo at the time, for though
had been introduced to tho speaker,
his namc. not an unusual one, had con-
i veycd little beyond ono syllable, and
fancied that he was seeking to impress
two Frenchmen present who had been
(, commissioned by tho city of Paris to re.
! pbrt on tho Berlin sewage system.
That night, however. I repeated the
I, language OF DIR. Koch. for that was the
oracular spokesman, to my host, mem
! Dor of tho German Parliament, and his
1 answer wns: "If DIR. Koch said that,

Potato Yield.
Condition of Cotton.

WAsHrNGNoY, Aug. lO.-The August
statistics Of agriculture show the condi-
ton of cotton TO be $50 for
the whole breadth, practically the
same as last month. The improve
ment during the month has been confined to
sections of South Carolina. Georgia, Ala
bama. Mississippi and Arkansas. in other
portions Of the cotton belt there has been
a decline in the condition. There was an
excess of rainfall during the whole month
over the whole breadth, except IN Louis
lana and the greater part of Texas, and an
excess of moisture was, as h rule. accom-
panied 10y temperature below normal. The
last week of the mouth was characterized
by further excess Of rain, but accompanied
by hea, conditions above normal, but if this
combination of meteorological conditions
wrought injury, the return was MADE too
late to indicate il.
The crop is generally late, especially in
the Atlantic gulf states. the plant small on

and Alabama some improvement is noted
though the dropping of forms has followed
local excuses OF moisture. The plant is
small and Iate but Is truitlng well. The
crop IN Mississippi IS late, but making good
growth with favorable weather and taking
on forms rapidly.
Louisiana returns are favorable. There
is some damage from late drouth, but more
from excessive rains. in some portions
the plant has had too much growth, espec-
Tally in bottom lands.
The decline in Texas is mainly the result

The presence of the caterpillar and boil

one state, Texas, reports them from mole

Downing who came here from Peoria, Ill.

he had been sharing enormous profits.
Vice-President Pollnan on the contrary
looked exceedingly prosperous, although he
says he made nothing from the association.
He says he IS an artist, and
that Mortimer, who was friend,
asked permission 10 use his name
as an incorporation. He consented and re-
ceived no money. Pullman added that sew
