BURNING UP FROM nROuTH.

Terrible state of Affairs Prevailing
Throughout Western New Yorlt-- Crops
Lost, Stock Suffering and Fears OF
Kavages by Fire.
BuFFALo, N. Y, Sept. 1.-Western
New York is almost literally burning
up. The drouth is almost without prece-
dent. Farmers mourn the loss Of crops
and fear further havoc by fire and star
walton Of stock. Counties like ChautauquI
and Erie, which have dairy interests of
great magnitude, are the chief sufferers,
but unless rain comes speedily and
copiously the entire State will expert
ence a financial loss which it can i'll
afford. The bordering province Of On
tario, CGn.,. lis similarly parched.
The Associated Press has collected
the following data regarding the effects
of the drouth from its correspondents !.
Niagara county-In Middleport, Lock-
port, BrockpOrt and other inland towns
hay fields lie burned and backened,
crops have been dwarfed, fruit has de-
Perforated and trees are shorn of foliage
Through the fertile section there has
beer general attempt to overcome the
evil by artificial means.
Allegheny county-The loss here will
amount to many thousands of dollars.
The yield of milk has shrunk from one
third to one.half, it is estimated, and it
has been necessary TO feed more than
half the diaries. Since the 10th of
August the plague of grasshoppers has
been alarming.
Steuben county-Serious damage has
been done the pasture lands and many
farmers have been obliged to feed their
cattle. This condition is aggravated by
the scourge of grasshoppers. Oats and
buckwheat have been affected seriously
and fields OF the former have been cut
before maturity to save them. The
drought has ripened the potatoes prema-
turely and the yield will be small Fruit
is comparatively plentiful.
Chautauqua county--Lake Chautau-
qua has fallen ~ feet, Chadron
creek has shrunk to rivulet and Still
water creek is utterly dry. Farmers
hereabouts are carrying water many
miles to give to their stock. Pasture
lands have been burned over, and fires
are raging in timberlands. The air is
hazy with smoke and choky with dust.
Great damage is done to the dhiry in
terests and milk famine is feared.
Erie County-Farmer who sell their
milk and garden products to the city are
downcast over the damage that the
drouth has done. Their loss will be in
estimable. The soil near the lake shore
suffers less than on the eastern edge of
the county, where the timberlands are
burning and where sparks from passing
railroad trains have kindled the lifeless
grass.

.. Career.
CONGRESSMAN AND GOVERNOR
Speaker of the Lower House
of Congress.


WALTnAM, MASS, Sept. 1.-General
Nathaniel p. Banks died at his home
here at 8 o'clock this morning. Death
was due to brain trouble. General
Banks has been feeble in mind for more
malady seemed to increase and his
family took him to Deer Isle, Me-,
thinking that a change of scene and air
might help him.
He showed no signs Of improving,
however, and about 10 days ago, as he
was much worse, he was brought home.
His decline continuing, he was taken up
to the Mclean Hospital in Somerville,
but within few days he had so far sue
cumbed to the disease of the mind that
he no longer recognized the members Of

early age. lie became editor of the
local paper at Waltham, studied law,
was admitted to the bar and in 1919
was elected to the Massachusetts Legis.
lature.
At this time the ancient power of the
Wing party was waning in New Eng
land, and the Free Sell party was max
ing its influence felt. Banks advocated u
coalition between the Democrats and
the new party, and was elected Speaker
Of the State Assembly in 1851, and re-
elected in 1852. In 1858 he was elected
delegate to the Massachusetts cons.itu-
tional convention, and was chosen
chairman of that body. In 1868 he was
elected Representative in Congress on
the Coalition Democratic ticket After
wards he identified himself with the
American, or "Know Nothing" party,
and on this ticket was reelected to Con
gress by an overwhelming majority
against Wing and Democratic candi-
dates.
At the ensuing session of Congress he
was nominated for Speaker of the
ilpusei anu dllel u COutest ldSLlnB TWO
months was elected ON the 133d ballot,
the deadlock having been broken by the
adoption of the plurality in place Of the
majority rule.
The American party going out Of ex-
istence, Mr.. Banks was elected to the
Thirty-fifth Congress as a Republican,
and served until December 4th, 1857,
when, having meanwhile been elected
governor of Massachusetts,, he resigned
his seat in Congress. He was reelected
governor in 1858 and 1859.
Mr.. Banks served with credit and dis
tinction in the Union army throughout
the civil war. In 1864 he was again
elected to Congress from his old district,
and was reelected, successfully, until
1877, failing only in 1872, when he was
active in behalf of Horace Greeley for
President. Since his retirement from
Congress he has been United States
marshall for Massachusetts.

Now that tomatoes arc becoming large
and finer, Drowned tomatoes will be
found very appetiziug. Take large
round tomatoes and halve them; place
them, the skin side down, in frying
pan in which very small quantity of
butter and lard has been previously
melted, sprinkle them with salt and
pepper, and dredge well with flour.
Place the pan on the hot part of the fire
and let them brown thoroughly, then
stir and brown again, and so on until
they are quite done. They lose their
acidity and their flavor is superior to
stewed tomatoes,
