CROWN AND SCEPTER.

The queen of Afghanistan has decided to
adopt European dress.
The Princess of Wales has found it neces-
sary to deny the sensational statement that
she has decided to withdraw from society.
The empress of Austria has just entered
upon her fifty-seventh year. She is in per-
feet health and says that Madeira, where
she spent her last birthday, is an earthly
paradise.
The German emperor has now turned his
attention to sculpture, with results, it is
said, quite as untoward as were the conse-
quences of his interference with science and
literature.
The Empress Frederick, mother of the
present emperor of Germany, has for many
years enjoyed the distinction of being the
most unpopular person in Berlin. She dis
likes Germans, and the Germans dislike
her.
The Emperor Francis I of Austria was
once present while two of his sons were
quarreling violently. At last one of them
said, "You are the greatest ass in Vienna"
Hush, F" said the emperor, you forget that
am here"
When progressing" through the streets
to perform some ceremony, the Prince of
Wales takes off his hat IL times on an aver
age minute-that is, the almost incredi-
bic number of 700 times an hour. The
prince requires new brim to his hat every
fortnight.

if they went in for decent imitation, but
as it is they bring French ideas to bear

doesn't work. Driven from the restau-

underdone ''rosbif," overdone "biftek"

TO AID IMMIGRATION.
Big Scheme to Start Nov. With Gov.
Northen as It's Head.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 11.-Within the
coming six weeks Gov. Northen will open
in Atlanta the general Office of the biggest
immigration movement ever started in
the south. The railroads entering At
lanta have put $4,000 in the venture and
to ii Gov. NOrthen will devote his future
Gov. Northen is to be the executive
head of the scheme. The general man
ayers of the railroads entering Atlanta
are to be the directors. Thousands of
dollars will be spent in bringing people to
Georgia. The plan is the broadcast and
most perfectly conceived that has ever
been advanced. II contemplates the ap-
pointment of an agent in every county in
the state and extending the work of in
ducing immigrants TO come TO Georgia to
every state in the union. The general
Office to be located in Atlanta, will be
opened Nov J. Right from the cover
nors chair TO this work the governor will
go. He enters the work enthusiastically.
and will devote to it all his time and
energy. He will spend great deal of his
time travelling and great results may be
expected from his efforts He has
maCured his plans with the greatest de
liberation, and went TO the several roads
for their cooperation. The roads were
struck with the feasibility of his plan
and did not hesitate to subscribe TO il lib
orally. The governors idea is that no
plan can succeed without the cooperation
of the railroads Of the south and
he will be enabled TO bring armies of i'm
migrants TO this state at low rate.

over 500 Engaged on the Atlantic
Coast South of Philadelphia.
Can't. w H. Murdaugh, United States
supervising inspector of steam vessels for
the Third supervising inspectors district,
including the Atlantic coast from Phila-
delphia south, is in the city on an Official
tour of inspection. Capt Murdaugh's
Seadauarters are in Norfolk Va He is
making his first official visit here since
his appointment to the Office of superyis-
ing Inspector He visited Charleston and
Florida last week and is taking In Savan-
nall on his return north.
Capt Murdaugh is an ex-confederate
naval officer and was one of the most gal
lant in the service. During his visit to
Savannah he has met many of his old Off
GERS and shipmates, some of whom he had
not seen since the perilous days of the
early COS.
The third supervising district of the
steamboat service includes the local dis
tricts of Baltimore. Norfolk. Charleston
ana Savannah. There are something
over 500 steam vessels in the entire dis
trict, in the navigation of which over
1900 licensed officers are engaged.
one Of the most important facts empha-
sized in the last annual report of the
supervising Inspector r-general of the SER
vice was that in this territory, in which
O'Ier 10,500 600 passengers were carried
last year, it was accomplished without a
single accident involving loss of life or in
jury to any passenger. The protection of
life and property is the purpose of the
steam vessel inspection service, and the
fact that in the handling of such a large
number of people not a single life was
lost, and that the accidents, except those
which were proVidential, were remarka-
bly, few, is worthy of note.
The Third district taking in. as il does.
the entire South Atlantic coast and in
land territory, several hundred miles
from the coast. is a wide field In the
Savannah district alone, which embraces
the waters from the Savannah river south
10 Cape Sable, and which is the largest
district on the coast, there are over 200
steam vessels, in the navigation of which
nearly 1000 licensed officers are engaged.
The number of vessels is increasing every
year. The increase in this district last
year was twenty-four. This year it is ex-
pected it will be even greater
There are in the United States $500
steam vessels running on navigable
waters and under the supervision of the
steamboat inspection service. The num-
ber Of licensed officers operating these
vessels is something over $4,000.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
Boil Worms and Rust From Excessive
Rains at Many Points.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 1.-THE crop bulle-
tin issued to-day is encouraging. Out
side of cotton all kinds of crops are in
fine condition. In the western, central,
southwest and southeast counties, re
ports of too much rain causing rust and
boil worms are made, otherwise the crop
is of fair average. The report says:
''As the season advances complaints of
the ravages of boil worms become more
frequent, and it is feared that this pest
may yet spread, become general. and ulti-
mately result in serious injury TO the
staple in many localities. Picking, which
has been in progress in the more southerly
counties for several weeks. gradually ex-
tends to the more northerly sections,
where the planter is only just beginning
this important work. Corn shows no
signs Of deterioration, and the crop will
as has been reported in the past, be a
large one"
