ated condition. The body was that of a
well-dressed man, about 80 years old appar-
emily, OF small stature, no beard and quite a
heavy moustache of sandy color He had
been seen on the track a few miles away
Sunday evening by the men on hand-car
As they approached, he lay down with his
head across the track. He was told to get
up and did. The circumstances seem to in
dicate that the man was demented. He had
been seen acting very strangely, lying down
on the track at the other places near Grand
Bay yesterday. He told some of the resi-
dents that he was from Calais, Me-. and was
tea merchant. He said he had plenty of
money, and on account of domestic troub les
of some kind, he had left and was on his way
to st. John. Blood was found on the wheels

The Weather and the Crops.

The weekly weather bulletin of the Signal
Service says:
Showers in the spring-wheat region Of
Minnesota and the Dakotas during the past
week have been light and not we'll distri-
buted, and in some localities some injury
has resulted from drought and frost, but
greatly benefited by general rains in that
section.
In the states of the Missouri valley the
weather was generally favorable for small
grains, but 1t was too cold for corn. The
drought in northeast Nebraska has been re-
lieved by generous rains. In Kansas all
crops were improved, especially wheat,
which is we'll headed. Prospects are re-
ported as generally good in Iowa and Mis-
souri,; frost did little damage; in some sec
tions corn is being replanted, owing to dam
age by cut worms, and in small areas wheat
was plowed under on account OF the injury
average; meadows never better; and fruits,
except apples, continue excellent.
ln Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and llli-
nois rain was very light and badly distri-
buted, aud the cool weather retarded growth.
The effect OF the week was generally in-
furious.
The weather was generally unfayorable in
New England and the middle Atlantic states
owing to continued low temperature and
drought, although in Pennsylvania crops
are much improved. The cloudy and cool
weather prevented rapid growth. Killing
frosts in New York injured tree fruit; ber-
is in poor condition In New York and New
England. Tobacco planting is well advanced
In Pennsylvania and In progress in New
England.

about It, The dirty condition Of the prinei-

william Henry Smith on the Behrlne
Sea Bill.

LONDON, June 1.-The First Lord Of the
Treasury, William Henry Smith, In the
House Of Commons today, moved that the
Behring Sea bill be read a second time.
Great Britain, he said. had endeavored to
arrive at a friendly conclusion with kin
dred power aud had practically succeeded in
so doing. II they should not be able to OBJ
tain the assurance that the conditions for
arbitration would be satisfactory, and also
that the seal fishing would be prevented ex.
cept TO the extent OF the 1900 seals necessary
for the maintenance OF the natives. the gov
ernment would not issue the order Ia c0un-
ell prohibiting seal catching for the period,
upon the part Of the British sealers. The
position, Mr.. Smith added. was hard for this
country, but the arrangement appeared TO be
the best that could be obtained.
Sir James Ferguson. Political Secretary Of
the Foreign Office. said that no kind Of an
agreement had boen arrived at in regard 10
the matters to be referred to arbitration;
but the two governments interested had
steadily approached points Of agreement.
He believed the reply, which was about to
be addressed to the United States Govern
ment, would bring them so closely together
that harmonious reference would soon be
obtained.
The Behring Sea bill was then read for a
second time.

PARIS, June 2.-Replying to the criticisms
OF certain English newspapers, with regard
to the act OF the commander Of the French
naval forces In selling ST. Georges Bay,
Newfoundland, and fOrbidding the residents
to sell bait to American fishermen, as being
contrary to the treaty of 1918, the Steele
says: Although fuller details are needed
to give complete understanding of the af-
fair, we believe the French commander act
ed In strict accordance with French rights.
10 was too absurd to enact law fOrbldding
English fishermen In fortune Bay to sell bait
to French fishermen. We have replied by
closing the French shore TO American fisher
men. This is nothing more than taking re-
prisals."

ENORMOUS YITLD OF WHEAT
Some Enthusiasts Predict That the Crop
VIII Reach 600, DOC, 900 Bushels.

ST.. PAUL, MINI, April 23-The most
conservative wheat dealers Of Minneapolis
are confident that the wheat crop this year
Will surpass any previous yield. con-
sentative estimate places the total crop for
the, year in this country Mt 550,00b, 900
bushels, as compared with 397,00O,0o0
bushels last year. Enthusiasts were pre-
dieting 600,0O0, 900 bushels.
This enormous crop is due partly to slim
ulative causes The weather. from the
standpoint of the wheat man. has been ad-
nirable, reports from the Red River valley
and from along the line of the Northern
Pacific proving that never before have the
conditions been so favorable. Then, too,
the price of wheat is SO high that the
farmers are planting Il large acreage in
order to raise as much wheat as possible
for profit to themselves. On the other
hand, the ''across the water crop has
been very light, if superficial indications
count, thereby offering inducements for
export.
Old time wheat men are, however in
clined to view askance the reports of n
scant crop in the old country. They fancy
that an attempt is being made to catch the
American producer mapping and as a
proof of this assertion declare that the
crop reports from abroad are of too yacil-
lating a nature to warrant the belief that
there is an appreciable shortage of the
crop. They argue that if the supply was
seant the reports would state the fact from
day to day and not he of favorable tenor
one day and the next predict shortage.

The Lady Abbess' Welded to Ne
York Rector.

New York and other cities, as well as with
residents of Pleasantville, rhappaqua,
Horace Greeley's old home, the sur
rounding villages. All are warm friends
Of Miss Greeley and her sincere well
wishers.
There is probably no woman in West
chester county, young or old, who is more
highly esteemed than the bride of to-day.
She has led quiet and transformations life
since the death Of her father, Much of
her time has been devoted to doing good
among all who needed her aid and she has
won the very appropriate title Of Lady
Abbess.n She has been the patron saint of
the sick and poor of Ghappaqua.
The Rev. Thomas Mckee Brown of the
church of Saint Mary the Virgin, New
York City, an intimate personal friend,
gave the bride away. The maid of honor
was Miss Chamberlain of New York. The
Rev. Alexander Mcmillan, assistant at St.
Peters Church of Westchester, of which
Mr.. Clendenin is the rector acted as best
man.
