ORANGE COUNTY.
Atah'im-The grain crop Of the past
season, and also the hay crop, was very
light. owing to the dry condition of the
soil and lack of sufficient moisture dur
ing the season. The same may be said
OF the beet crop, which should have
yielded about 10000 tons. but only 49,
600 tons will be the yield. The orange
and deciduous fruit crops were good
and heavy, as most of the lande were
under irrigation. The walnut crop has
been damaged 35 to SO per cent from the
excessive heat OF August 25th. The
corn crop will not be an average yield,
and great deal OF 10 has been cut for
fodder. having been injured by exoes-
eive heat. On the whole, the season has
been an unsatisfactory one to farmers,
principally on account OF insufficient
rain.

DR.. Carnegie, the missionary, says Lo-
bengula wished to enjoy some fruits Of
civilization while rejecting many others.
He tolerated the presence of a few mis-
sionaries because they brought him good
things from Europe that he coveted, but
he would do absolutely nothing to help
them. A word from him would have
filled their schools with children, but he
would not give it. The people believed
he was all powerful. 1t was he who
brought the rain and abundant harvests.
Their teeming gardens and abundance
of beer and cattle exhibited the mighty
power of the king and his mindfulnGss
of their wants. An encouraging word
from him would have done wonders for
the missionaries yet when they asked
him to send them children to teach he
would not lift a finger to help them.
When Carnegie was about to go home,
he asked the king what he should tell
the white people about him, seeing that
he had been so indifferent to the prog
ress of missionary work. The king re-
piled, You will tell them what you
have seen. "
1t was probably as well for Loben-
gula that he died when he did His peo-
pie forced him into the war, believing
that he was invincibla. His overwhelm-
ing defeat destroyed all confidence in
him as the great wonder worker Of the
tribe, father who by his supernatural
power could always protect his people.
He could never have been king again. -

The Unrcpresented.

AT n recent meeting Of the Woman S
Suffrage league Mrs. Lille Devcreux
Blake, the interchangeable speaker, made
the important address Of the evening,
and delivered as it was, in simple con-
versational manner, touched by much
humor, it was really quite effective. In
plain fashion Mrs. Blake ca,aloguCd tho
practical grievances of the nonvotlng
woman. They had to make their livings
like men in many cases, and offices they
could fill equally well were closed to
them. When they were permitted to do
the same work as men, they received
less pay, although frequently admit
ted to be the superior employees. Wom-
en- teachers, however capable, received
less than men. In the Washington de-
partments they had no salaried equality
with the men, although constantly
found more efficient. Here in New York
a shopgirl got So week where a man
got $40, and she herself had seen this
same half paid girl teaching tho man
his business. Why was all this? Because
women couldn't vote.
The legislature would further be
shown the millions in property owned
by women, and it would this year, if
ever, be borne in upon them that taxa
ton without representation was cruel
and unjust. Many persons, Mrs. Blake
said, urged that woman's place was at
home. She fully agreed with them it
was, but in so far as voting was con-
cerned one might as well say that man
could not vote because he had business
in his office as that woman could not dc
