Of the State.
Closing Day Of the North Cumber-
land Fair at harrison.


LEWISTON, October 10.-The annual ten
mis- tournament of the Bates College Athle-
tic Association was completed this after
noon. 1t has been by far the most interest
ing ever held, and characterized by fine
playing throughout. In the doubles. after
the preliminary round, which disposed Of
four entries, the winners Of the first round
were Howard aud Wilson, '92, Noone and
Bolster, '94. Robie and @. Pulslfer, '95. and
WInslow and Campbell, '95. In the second
round Howard and Wilson won from Noone
and Bolster-6.0 and 61. Three sets were

over Winslow and Campbell; score, 11-9, 2-6,
9-6. In the finals Howard and Wilson won
easily from Robie and Pulsifer-64. 6-3, 6-1.
But 1t was in the singles that the chief In
terest Of the tournament lay. Howard be-
ing state champion was debarred from en-
tering. but challenged the final winner to
play best three out OF fiye for the college
championship. The preliminary round dis
posed of ten entries, and the first round win
ners were Wilson, '92, Robie, '95. Sturges,

hibition Of tennis playing, but Sturges was
unequal to his opponent and with a score of
6-1, go, GA the final winner was declared to
be Robbie and thereon hangs tale
Robiesis a freshman from Auburn, and as
tennis player Is not nearly developed. He
plays with little apparent effort and plays a
superb net game. His next work was with
Howard who has gone quite out Of training
since his work at POrtla nd In September. 1t
was generally believed that Howard would
win, but 1t was evident that he would have
to work. In the first set Howard kept a safe
lead but allowed Robie three games; the
second, Robie won-6-4 in the third How
the fourth, Howard, after making 1t 4 0, gave
away six games and the set. The fifth set
went to RObie 6-3, thus giving him three out
of five.

WHAT OF THE CROPS?
The Department Of Agriculture Says
They Are Doing Well.

WASHINGTON, Oct ober 10.-The report of
the statistician of the department of agricul-
ture for October relates to yields per acre of
wheat and tobacco. The estimated average
yields are: Wheat, 10 bushels; oats, 90 8;
barley. 25.S; rye, I4.4. The condition of the
corn crop is 92.5; buckwheat, go q; potatoes,
e1.3; tobacco, 8.
Wheat in threshing In most districts has
proved higher in yield than the apparent
condition of the crop at harvesting would in
dicate. In the Ohio valley and in the spring
wheat region the exceptional individual
yields have been more numerous than usual,
carrying the state average to the verge of
the best records OF former years. The aver
ages of the Middle States are nearly as high.
California presents disappointing output,
large area having been cut for hay, and
some districts, notably in the San Joaquin
valley, return reduced yields that are nearly
failures.
Oats, On the average, held higher than the
early returns of condition would indicate,
though that of last month showing condition
when harvested was the highest for several
years, slightly above the record for 1889.
Oats have evidently shared the beneficent
Influences OF the present season, yielding
quite up to the popular expectation. The
same may be said of barley.
Corn, which was very promising last
month, though little late, and in danger of
frost above the latitude of 400, and somewhat
injured already in more northern districts,
has improved during the month, as the re-
suit Of the high temperature of the last two
or three weeks. A good crop is assured.
Potatoes, ia some sections threatened with
rot on the 1st Of September. have come
through the month in good condition, with a
loss of only half point. There was a slight
lowering Of condition in Maine, and in some
states an impr 0vement was made.
The average condition of tobacco was ma
terially advanced during September by the
fine weather for maturing.

LOCKED IN HER ROOM.
A Peculiar Case of What Seems To
Be CrueItv In RIddeford.

BIDDEFoRD, October 10.-A peculiar case
of cruelty, due to either wilfulness or igno-
rance, was discovered by the police this
afternoon. Mary Goodreau. French girl,
aged 90, was found locked into small tene-
ment attic bedroom, where she has been con-
fined by her parents since last March. There
is but one small window In the room and
that Is nearly covered with thick boards.
Miss Goodreau's parents say that she is
crazy, her mind having been affected by the
death of her lover in Canada. Local physi-
clans admit that the girls mind is somewhat
affected. but they agree that it is the height
of cruelty to keep her locked up without an
opportunity to take exercise, see daylight or
get breath of fresh air.
The girl talked very nationally, said she
was ill-treated by her mother, brother and
sisters, aud pleaded that som ething be done
to end her misery.
The parents stoutly denied that they have
ever handled her roughly or deprived her of
a single thing she craved except her liberty,
but they claimed to be too poor to send the
sick girl 10 an asylum or hospital.
During her LONG confinement the young
woman has woven six rugs, and made vari-
GUS articles of fancy work.
On Monday Marshal Tarbox will bring the
case before the aldermen.

THE MAN A PRINCIPLE.
The irish National League on the
Death OF Its Leader.

LONDON. October 1.-THE National
League of Great Britain has issued a mani
festo on the death of Parnell. 1t says:
ireland has received blow by his death
from which she will not recover for genel-
alton. In 10 years he did more for Ireland
than had been done in generations. Meas
ure after measure bearing his mark took its
place on the statute books. His work was
crowned when an English premier brought
in bill to establish an Irish parliament.
He Is gone. Ireland mourns at his gra We to-
day. What Is the duty of those left behind {?
What Is the duty of the men who followed
him? To the last to struggle for Irish free
dom, 1t is said we fought for the man and
not the principle. 1t is untrue. We fought
for the principle which the man embed led.
The man himself was indeed a principle
the principle of self reliance and independ-
ence which nothing could sap, and to that
principle we are staunch." Steps are ad-
vised for the selection of president to sue
ceed Parnell.
