Knights Of Pyihias.

WASHINGTON, July 2-The citi-
zens' committee for the reception and
entertainment OF the Knights of Ply.
thias during their encampment in
August held a meeting this after
noon at the Warden Building. A
telegram was read from General
Carnahan stating that IA, 10 Knights
had applied for tenting quarters.
Mr.. s. Goodheart inquired if the
committee intended to put flooring
in the tents. Circulars sent to the
lodges promised that the tents would
be floored. Mr.. Edison said he would
oppose the expenditure OF $500 for
flooring. The Uniform Rank of the
knight of Phthias, he said, were
semi-military organization. When
they went into camp they should
camp in military style. The question
was laid over until the next meeting.
Mr.. Lawrence Gardner Taught
all the official correspondence should
pass through the main committee
and moved accordingly. The com
mittee on music reported that the
Fourth Artillery Band had offered
the services of % men for two days
for $240, while the Marine Band Of
fered Al men one day for $418. The
proposals were tabled, as the COM
mittee will try to secure the bands
through the Secretaries of War and
Navy.
The committee Oh transportation
reported that one fare for the round
trip had been secured, tickets good
going from August % to % and re-
turning to September 6, with privi-
lege of extension to September l6.

THROUGH THE SENA TIE.

The Solons of the q. S. Senate
have passed Tariff bill. 1t is not
free trade by any means, and the
only man in the Democratic party
in the Senate who was true to the
Chicago platform was Hill, of New
York. He punctured, searified and
poulliced the gangrened wounds OF
the so-called Democratic majority in
such a manner as TO make them here
after and forever believe themselves
lepers in full ofleprosy. Whatever
may hereafter be said Of Senators, it
must be said of Mr.. Hill that he
stands in his own shoes, and, like
Archie Campbell of West Virginia,
carries his sovereignty underh own
hat. Hill has been true, and Cleve-
land untrue, to the Chicago platform,
and the snapper and anti.snapper
business is not yet over between
them. Peace be to them, with peace
to the country, for evidently the
struggling and toiling masses are
without work, help'o relief.

Martinsburg,

CROP BULLETIN No. IA, FOR WEEK
ENDING July 2.-In a general way
the weather during the past week
has been favorable. Influenced by a
generous amount of sunshine and
heat and numerous local showers all
crops show good advance. Show.
ers interfered somewhat with clover
hay making and harvesting and in
many places the thunderstorms were
very severe, being accompanied with
heavy winds, rain and hail but no
especial damage from those causes
has as yet been reported. Corn and
late oats looking fine. Winter oats
about ready for cutting, some affect
cd by red blight. Corn cultivation
somewhat neglected on account of
wheat harvest. Wheat cutting in
many localities is well under way and
large proportion of the crop is in
shock; quality generally good and
yield fair; heads are q little short
but well-filled usually; some was
damaged by hail and rust. Consld-
cradle buckwheat being sowed. Tim
othy soWn with wheat last fall is re-
ported to be good stand. Early
potatoes little short on account of
previous dry conditions and bugs,
but the crop generally promises good
results with but a few exceptions !;
the acreage is also said to be larger
than usual. Gardens doing we'll
Apples still dropping and in many
places will not be sufficient for local
use; blight continues to spread.
Raspberries ripe; good crop. Pros
poets point to a large crop OF grapes
and blackberries. Only a few peaches
and those ON Seeding trees; budded
trees generally have none on them.
Cherries generally fair. Bees re-
ported as not making much honey on
account of deficient white clover
crop and because early flowers were
killed.
