A lady in Cincinnati has n wonderful

sagacity. She has been in the habit OF
taking crumbs from the table and shak-

the birds could feast therefrom. The
cat, meanwhile, would ambush itself.
and, at the opportune moment, pounce
upon the bird and secure a seasonable
meal. The good lady tried to break the

TEXAS CROPS AND TIE STORMS.

A Signal Observer Thinks the Dam.
age Has Been Overestimated.
GALVESTON, TEX, May 22.-Ths signal
officer, DIR. T. III. Cluer, has made and rem
dered to the cotton exchange, at the re-
quest of Its members, a special report Of the
storm of May II and the damage done to
growing crops. DIR. Cluer finds that there
were three districts In the storm, accom-
panied by hail. In Hopkins, Lamar and Fam
ming counties 10000 acres planted In cotton, !,
grain and fruits, were badly damaged, one
third Of the cotton, two-thirds OF the grain
and one-half Of the fruit crop being de-
stroyed. Twelve thousand acres Of cotton,
wheat, corn and oats ia cultivation IN Mon
ta2ue, Clark, Denton and Greyson counties
were ieveled TO the ground.
The third storm made its appearance In
western Texas, and in Parker, Wetherford,
Travis and Bestrop counties. The storm
laid waste nearly 1000 acres, 1000 Of
which was in cotton. DIR. Cluer says in
conclusion: sit is hardly probable that
over Q 500 acres in cultivation were in any
way seriously affected by these storms
Less than half this was in cotton, not over
one-sixth Of which will have TO be replanted,
while the remainder is damaged from 10 70
20 per cent. While the forego-
ing estimates Of the damage ara
conservative as compared with
the press reports, IL Is in my opinion
slightly greater than IL will actually be
found TO have been later in the season. On
account Of the narrowness and irrsgularity
Of the tracks of these storms no one farmer,
with few exceptions, has suffered to any
great extent. This will enable them to re-
plant cotton, and also to plant corn lands
where their crops have been seriously dam

This will, with anything like a favorable

MONEY OF THE NATION.
Plenty for Pension PaYments-Two

Plenty for Pension PaYmsnts-Two
Per Cent. Bonds Probable.
WASHINGTON, Nay 22.-Secretary Foster
said this morning that he anticipated no
difficulty in meeting the quarterly pension
payments, aggregating SIG, ,00O, 900, which
fall due June 4. The available cash balance
is now nearly $4,000, 900 and will go beyond
so, ,OOO, 600 by the early part Of June by
reason OF continued excess Of receipts over
expenditures. Secretary Foster said there
would be no necessity so far as he could see
Tor cailinR in any of the government dee
posits held by national banks to meet PEN
sion obligations. This bank fund now
amounts to S24 1850, ,000 exclusive of the
money deposited TO the credit Of disbursing
officers.
TWO PER CENT. BONDS.
Secretary Foster said further in response
to inquiries on the subject, that while it
was not altogether settled it was more than
likely that the department would give the
holders OF the $50,00O,00O Al per cent
bonds outstanding an opportunity to renew
those bonds after Sept. at reduced
rate Of interest. He said San Francisco
banker had given an opinion that
these bonds could be foated at
IL per cent. interest. He, however,
did not think such thing feasible with an
interest rate less than per cent. 1t was
his impression that the matter would be
settled definitely in short time. He said
that the recent gold shipments had clearly
established one thing, aud that was that the
credit Of the United States was above that
OF any other nation and could noe be
shaken by the severest drain.
CONSIDERED BY THE CABINET.
The financial situation was considered at
meeting OF the cabinet to-day, but with
out result, so far as known. Unless the
Secretary OF the Treasury decides to con-
tinue the AZ per cent. bonds beyond the
date of their maturity, Sept. !
next, without abatement OF in
terest, it will be necessary for him
to give three months notice TO the bond
holders OF his policy In regard to that loan.
This will have to be done under the law,
either in case he decides to redeem the
bonds at maturity or in case he decides it
best to extend them ct reduced rate Of
interest.
A CIRCULAR EXPECTED.
A circular on this subject will be issued
by the treasury department in a few days.
1t will announce that the present rate of
interest on the Az per cent. loan will
cease Sept. !, and will probably
say that the holders of all
such bonds as do not desire their
redemption at that date may secure their
continuance at the interest rate Of per
cent thus allowing owners the option of re-
tanning their bonds at lower rate Of inter.
est, if they desire to do 80, without placing
the government IN the position Of asking
for more time.
