Those who are conversant with prepare
tons made for the Masonic fair and exposi-
ton in the new Masonic Temple, Detroit,
Nov. 25 to Dec. Z, say that IL will require a
whole day to see it.
ID. ID. ThOrp, who heads the soliciting
committee, had reports read at the recent
meeting of this committee which showed
that the contributions to the fair extended
over the country. From California and
Mexico came offers of semi-tropcal fruit,
from the south the products of that sunny
land and from the east the fruit of the loom,
the spindle and the factory.
The music which will enliven the fair will
probably be the most expensive and pleas
ing, as well as artisticaly perfect, that has
ever been heard i'm Michigan. Chairman g..
Nj. Hayes has secured promises from all the
leading musical organizations of the city for
special nights and each afternoon and even
ing of the fair will reveal a wealth of must
cal talent.
To Hon. Geo. Ii. Barbour great deal of
credit and congratulation is due. He has
procured that grand masterpiece of George
ROchegrosse, The Fall of Babylon" that
picture which amazed with admiring won
der the Paris salon of 1891 and created such
a marked sensation in New York later. This
masterpiece which marks an epoch in Michi-
gan art, is the one which Anthony Com
stock endeavOred to have suppressed because
of the life-like nude figures so realistically
depicted in ii. All the railroads will run
excursions to the fair at one fare for round
trip.

States scouts. Leading a column over
the Deadwood trail he came upon the
scene Of the massacre, and from the
wreck of an army ambulance was sur
prised to hear a child's wall. That child
was Katherine Clemmons, The scout
cared for the little girl most tenderly,
and a short time later restored her to
her mother. Mrs. Clemmons went to
California, settled in Oakland, and after
some years married j. w. Dayan, then
head of the stationery department Of
the Southern Pacific. The girls were
given all the advantages that education
and the best society could furnish, and
the elder married Charles B. Overacker,
prominent orchardist of Niles. The
younger girl, who had been romantical-
ly thrown upon the protection of the
great frontiersman, dreamed of success
on the stage, and studied with that ca
reer in view. Her first appearance was
at the Grand Opera House in San Fran
cisco. Realizing after that performance
that she was lily prepared for the high
est mark in drama she went to London
to seek instruction in the best schools
there.

A Big Spider.

A spider about inches long and near
ly as wide was sent to the office of the
Board of Education in Kansas City by
Miss Virginia Lewis, teacher in the
Switzer School, who captured it in the
country south Of the city. The repul-
sive creature was secured in a large
glass tumbler covered by a tin top. II
Is designed for Prof. N. A. Harvey, of
the High School faculty, who takes a
professional interest in such things. A
number of spiders Of this kind live in a
cave that underlies that portion Of the
city between Thirty-fourth and Thirty
ninth streets for half a mile west of
Troost avenue. They cling to the sides
and roof of the entrance to the cave.
This entrance Is an arch in the solid
rock on the grounds of II. w. Spangler,
a dairyman, who lives west of Thirty
seventh and Harrison streets. The spi-
ders are said to be venomous and are
known to have existed in the vicinity
for years, but no naturalist has thus far
given them name or genus.

November Crop Report

The average condition of wheat In the
state ON November 1, was rs, in the south
ern counties ~, the central "a, and the
northern 95, vitality and growth of average
years being represented by 100. The con-
ditiOn in the state, and southern and central
sections is lower than reported in any year
since 1889, when the condition in the state
was so, and i'm the southern counties SIS.
The average condition in the state NOvem-
Der /, since 1889, has been reported as fol-
lows: 1890, los; 1891, OIL; 1s9, 1877; 1898,
| 50; and 1894. "a. The average condition
this year is 10 per cent lower than one year
ago.
The total number of bushels of wheat re-
ported marketed by farmers since the
October report was published is 1,124, 247,
and in the three months, August, Septem-
Der and October, 2,922, Ills. This is $685.
O13 bushels less than reported marketed i'm
the same months last year.
The average yield OF corn per acre is
estimated at 81 bushels in the state, 5S
bushels in the southern counties, SO bushels
in the central, and GA bushels in the north
ern counties.
The clover seed crop is less than half the
usual acreage, and the yield Is about l
bushel per acre. The yield per acre of
potatoes is estimated at SO per cent of an
average in the state The acreage Is per
cent in excess OF the acreage in average
years. The estimated yield per acre in the
northern counties is 8 per cent above the
yield in average years.
Live stock is in usually good condition.
The crop growing season of 1895 in the
lower peninsula of Michigan may be charac-
terized as hot and dry. The mean tempera-
ture was above the normal in May, June,
August and September, and only slightly
below in July. October was cool month,
the mean temperature in the southern four
tiers of counties being 4 5 degrees below the
normal.
The average rainfall was below the nor.
NAL each month except August In the
southern counties, and except August and
September in the central counties. The ex-
cess in the months named were hardly suf-
fcent to be of appreciable benefit. The
total rainfall in the six months, May-Octo-
Der, in the southern four tiers of counties
where S5 per cent of the crops of the state
are grown, and in the southern and central
counties where about 81 per cent of the
crops are grown, was less than two-thirds
the normal. WASHINGTON GARDNER,
