There was grave smile on the young

Assunta rose from her knees and laid her
crucifix on the little breast-the tears
were running down her worn and with
cred countonance. As she strove to wipe
them away with her apron, she said
tremblingly:
'sIt must be told to Madama." A

ItyIs Well.

The result of the election Tues
day, ito determine the amount of Ii
cense to be paid by saloons in Ke-
nosha, is gratifying to all law
abiding citizens and taxpayers.
It would seem that even TO the
liquor dealers the proposition to re
duce the license to $500 is short
sighted business policy, and to cut
the revenue to less than half would
certainly have been a disastrous
move to the people who foot the
public bills. The large majority in
favor of keeping the license at $500
would indicate that the question is
definitely settled for years, SO far
as Kenosha is concerned.

President Harrison has filled the
vacant Haytian mission by the ap-
pointment of John S. Durham, Of
Kentucky, Minister Resident and
Consul General toHayti. Mr.. Dur
ham was, until his appointment to
his new post, Consul at San Domln-
90, and is colored man of educa-
ton and ability. John S. Durham,
who was born in Philadelphia thirty
one years ago, prides himself on be,
ing a negro, while he would pass
any where for white man. He
comes from a highly respected fam
lily in the Quaker City, and was
graduated from the Institute for
CoIored Youth in 1876. In 1886 he
took the degree of Civil Engineer in
the Towne Scientific School of the
Pennsylvania University, after which
ne became a reporter on the Phila-
delphia Times. When he was ap-
pointed Consul to San Domingo last
year he was an editorial writer on
the Evening Bulletin. He was an
able and one of the foremost repre-
sentatives of the negro race, always
working for its amelioration and
advancement and his writings on
that and kindred subjects have az
peared frequently in Harper's Week

CROP REPORT.
Prospects for Wisconsin's Crop to Date.

Prospects tor Wisconsin crop to Late.
A careful estimate of the condition and
probable yield of corn in this state is as
follows: If heavy frost does not occur
during the next ten days the northwest
half of the state will yield one-third of an
average crop, and the southwest half, one
half of crop, making the estimate on
the total crop A per cent. of the usual
yield Some of our correspondents place
the time required for this at and 8 days.
This estimate of time would be just about
right if the warm weather of to-day were
to continue. but as we can surely see cool
er weather ahead, it becomes necessary to
extend the period somewhat Some fields
in the southern part of the state may need
IL to IA days,
Tobacco is a sure crop as it is now
weather of last Friday that prevailed in
the north and central part of the state,
also caused general, but not severe frost
throughout the tobacco region, but the
usual methods of protection carried the
crop through with but little damage.
80
Thursday morning.
While potatoes will be a good crop gem
orally, it is doubtful if the excessive yield
counted on will materialize. The
drought and early frosts have had some
effect.
From every section of the state, except
small area in the northeast part, come
complaints of the severe drought; that
blowing is difficult and in few places
impossible. Hence the ground is in poor
condition for fall seeding. In the north
east counties the ground is more moist,
and the largest acreage of wheat and rye
sown for years is reported.
BuckWheat will be very short crop.
Some central and northwest counties re-
port it total failure.
