EASTERN CROPS.
The Outlook Very Dark for Many
States.
THE YIELD is UNDER THE AVERAGE.
Minnesota Is all Right. Missouri Is in a
Bad Way, and Illinois Falls Behind
in the Race.
The YIELD IS UNDER THE AVERAGE.

The following recently appeared in
the Chicago Farmers Review:
Reports have been rceived from Illi-
nois, Indiana, Michigan. Kentucky,
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota on
the condition Of wheat. oats and hay.
Harvest time does not show an i'm
provement in the condition of winter
wheat. In the winter wheat States
the conditions of spring and opening
summer have not been favorable for
the recovery of the crop from the
drought of fall and winter. In Hi.
nois much has been already cut and in
stack. Only in exceptional cases has
there been anything like full crop.
Drouth and bugs combined in some
counties with hard winter have left
things in bad shape. In some locali-
ties the condition is no more than one
fourth of fair crop. From that up to
80 per cent. of good crop is the extent
of variation. Indiana conditions are
very similar. Ohio will have but a
fair yield-less than the ordinary.
Michigan varies from half to full
crop. with all average of fair. While
in Kentucky more counties have full
crops than in the neighboring States to
the north, yet the condition is poor in
so many localities that it will greatly
reduce the average for the State. A
few counties in Missouri have full
crops, but most of the correspondents
report a very short crop. In Kanass
the crop is very short indeed, and of
the entire sown not more than DO per
cent. will be harvested In Nebraska
there is no improvement in condition.
and the yield is small, a great deal
having been plowed up. In some parts
of Iowa the yield of winter wheat is
good, but other sections have light
crop. In Wisconsin the yield is small
But little spring wheat is grown in
the winter wheat States, and that little
is in only fair condition. In Iowa the
present condition is from fair to good.
Wisconsin repots poor to fair. In
Minnesota the outlook is first-class.
probably never better. In Dakota
spring wheat is in fair shape and prom
ises an immense crop.
Oats are proving disappointment on
account of continued dry weather. In
Illinois the crop will be less than an
average unless good rains come soon.
Ohio has prospects ranging from poor
to fair. Michigan has all kinds of con-
ditions. Kentucky has excellent pros
poets for large crop. In Missouri the
outlook is fair to good. Kansas con-
ditions are favorable since the copious
rains. In Nebraska conditions are
favorable. The oat crop is generally
good in Iowa and Wisconsin, fair in
Minnesota and good in Dakota.

WANTED TO FIT HIS COFFIN.

There is not in Europe more mag

OBJECTED TO BLOOMERS.

Hard and awful to contemplate are
the trials that the new woman has to
put up with-that is. that particular
type of the new woman who doesn't
like to wear skirts and prefers knicker-
bockers at most times and places, says
the New York World In England the
boarding g-house landladies are very
much aroused over the subject and are
thinking of forming an association to
rule out all women who wear what is
known in the words of the day as
rational dress" In this country there
is an interesting anecdote, with its
scene laid in Ann Arbor, Mich, relat-
ing to one of the college girls who was
very much advanced.
There was girl staying at one of
the boarding houses in the village who
persisted in wearing trousers that were
more masculine even than "bifurcated
skirts" This attire disturbed the land
lady intensely, and in fearful tones she
pleaded with the young woman to dis
card the distasteful garments. But
the girl was put upon her mettle and
resisted the landlady's pleas until that
wrathful individual came out with
the following ultimatum: "You can
not eat at my table and wear bloomers
at the same time"
1t is not correct for the new wo.
man" to weep. and therefore the knick-
erbockered girl sheds no tears. at
the very next meal that was served,
however, the other boarders noticed
that she wore skirt. Immediately af-
ter dinner she took it off and five min.
utes later was seen parading down the
streets in masculine garments once
more. But the landlady has carried
her point, and bifurcated garments are
not at such a premium in Michigan as
they were.

A GOOD THING.

I was going down to Staten Island
the other day, when a seedy, genteel
young man, with lonesome expression
of countenance, who had seat near
the railing on the upper deck, sudden
ly began removing his shoes and outer
garments. OF course, the people
around him were excited, but he gave
them no attention. When he was
about ready to leap over one of the
ferry policemen came sauntering up
and said:
"You, there-put on your coat and
vestl''
The young man donned the articles
mentioned, and the officer continued:
"Now put on your shoes.
In couple of minutes the shoes were
on, and then the officer said:
Now, you sit down back there, and
stay there or I'll heave you over
board"

PROSPECTS FOR THE RAISIN CROP THIS
YEAR.

The Fresno Expositor prints the fol-
lowing concerning the prospects of
raisins:
Since the first damage done the
raisin crop by the unreasonable heat
and equally unreasonable cold that
occurred in the later part of April and
early May, the season has been the
most favorable for years.
The present hot spell only tends to
hasten the development and maturity
of fruit and grapes which are already
full two weeks in advance of previous
seasons and are of unusual promise
and size.
Should this weather continue as
favorable in the future as it has been
in the past. Muscats fully ripe and fit
for raisins will be ready for the tray
by the middle of August. This means
that those e-destroyers who pick
under-ripe fruit and send turkey-red
raisins to the East in order to "get
there first" will begin their destruc.
tive work from the 9th to the 10th OF
August
The commission packers are putting
on bold front and talking loud sc
that the small growers may hear about
how many carloads they have already
secured, but the commission packer il
like the balloon, large to look at, bui
filled with gas.
They are having an uphill business
this season. and are offering large IN
ducements to such persons as are liable
to talk too much to the grower to ac
as agent for them. The people have
learned that every man who places hi
raisins in tho hands of the commission
packer has virtually given away th'
fruit and mortgaged his ranch to Sc

THE BLOSSOMS OF DEATH.

The fatal adventure that befell some
boys who chewed certain parts of
plants which they thought were dan.
delions was an incident of kind most
unfortunately common. Only two
years ago five school children at Tarry-
town, N. Y, lost their lives through
incautiously eating some roots which
they took for sweet flag. In the latter
case it was ascertained by Mr.. Coville,
botanist of the Department of Agricul-
ture, that the root in question be-
longed to the common elder. which
previously had not been suspected of
being dangerous.
The Department of Agriculture, a
writer for the Star is informed, has
begun an investigation of the poison
GUS plants of the United States, which
is to have special reference to the
chemical and other characteristics of
such of them as are least known.
One very important group of poison
Gus plants. concerning the toxic proper
ties of which very little has been
known until recently, includes certain
many cases of poisoning occurred in
Philadelphia, which were traced to
certain honey and to eating of the flesh
of ruffed grouse. 1t was proved that
the grouse had fed on the buds of the
broad leaved laurel, and it was more
than suspected that the honey was de-
rived by bees from the blossoms of the
same tree. Several deaths occurred
at this time from the cause mentioned,
so that the sale of rutfed grouse was
prohibited in the markets of the
Quaker City.
Recently the broad-leaved laurel has
been analysed by "A Dutch scientist
named Plugge and by an American
named Lasche, who have obtained
from it the same poison as that which
characterizes the rhododendron of the
Black Sea. Plugge has made gen.
eral and comprehensive investigation
of this group of "ericaceous" plants,
which includes the laurels and rhoden-
drons, and he finds that half of them
are poisonous. Lambs and young
cattle eat them in winter for lack of
other green food, and die. The So
called "lambkill" is one Of the laurels.
The trailing arbutus is of the same
family, but is not poisonous. Poison
is found in the broad-leaved laurel, the
narrow -leaved laurel and also in the
mountain laurel, which is a large
leaved rhododendron.
Deer feed ON these plants with i'm
punity, and likewise the ruffed grouse.
Thus it comes about that the flesh of
ruffed grouse often poisons people.
Dogs fed ON the intestines of deer that
have eaten the plants are poisoned.
The toxic agent acts upon the respira-
tory centers, interfering with the
breathing, and in severe cases stopping
it altogether. No antidote is known.
1t is only possible to try and control
the symptoms. A smudge made O.. the
leaves of the mountain laurel. for the
purpose of keeping off insects, has been
known to cause poisoning. " Washing

A MONETARY CONFERENCE
TURNING DOWN THE LORDS

BERLIN, Feb. Is. = Count Won
Mirbach, German Conservative, in
troduced a resolution in the reichs-
tag today instructing the federal
governors of Germany to issue in
structions for an international mon
etary congress to take measures to
bring about the rehabilitation of
silver as circulating medium. Mir
bach said the moment had now ar
rived for Germany to take the initia-
tive in settling this question, which
is one of the greatest Importance.
1t was one of life or death for huS-
bandry as we'll as for the export in
dustry. Bimetallism would cause
the rise of all prices in England,
where gold was the currency. Agri-
culture would be ruined if the pres
ent system was maintained. Amer
lea would either absorb Germany's
gold or adopt a pure silver standard
and capture the whole Eastern trade
Other supporters Of the resolution
said that they Endorsed the PROPOSE
ton that Germany had taken at the
Paris monetary conference in 1883,
namely, that she regarded an inter-
national agreement upon a ratio be-
tween gold and silver desirable.
DR.. Theodore Barth, German Rad
ical-Unionist, said the Brussels con-
ference had proved a fiasco, and the
conference held in Germany in 1894
was fruitless. There was little or
no connection between the depres-
sion in husbandry and the introduce
ton of the gold standard.
Count Herbert Bismarck said the
failure of the Brussels conference
was partly due to the absence of an
entente between the powers which
took part in it. The Berlin conference
in 1878 arrived at a result because
Great Britain and Russia had pre-
viously reached basis for an agree
ment. An international entente upon
the currency question would be ar
rived at in the course of time, and in
the case of Great Britain the feeling
was growing in favor of bimetalism.
In conclusion Count Bismarck said:
1T gives me great pleasure to show
how warmly my friend Balfour has
taken up the cause in that country
Herr Schoenlank, Social-Democrat
contended that the introduction of
bimetallism would lead to a fall in
the value of currency, and would
promise nothing but a hopeless fut-
ure to the workingman.
DR.. Lieber, of the Center party.
said that the Centrists willingly sup
ported the measure because thew
saw in the proposed conference an
attempt to remove the difficulties in
regard to the monetary standard.
a question which was of paramount
Importance to commerce.
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe declared
that he was inclined to favorabIy
consider a proposal for an inter
change of views on the subject with
those states which were concerned in
the silver question. The debate was
then adjourned.

FOY WON BY A POINT.
DEFEATS HARRY CARTER IN
THE BILLIARD TOURNEY,
He WINS THE FIRST PRIZE.
Foley Is Presented With 81 Unique
and Handsomely Engraved
. .-..s- Medal. -..-.

By an extremely difficult and most
expertly played round-table shot
Eddie Foy, the jolly comedian, won
the first prize in the concluding
game early this morning, at Foley'S,
in the billiard tourney which for the
past week has been in progress
amongst the gentlemen of the "Of
the Earth" company. He carried
off the honors by the remarka BILE
slender margin of one point, his op-
ponent, Mr.. Harry Carter scoring
149. Foy's victory was a popular
one, and elected the demonstrative
enthusiasm of nearly all the mem
bers of the company The "Old
Glory company, too, was we'll repre-
scented. Genial Sam P. Combs, the
advance agent of Robert billiards.
THE Nominee company, enjoyed
the game and cheered heartily for
the winner.
The game in which Mr.. Carter was
conceded thirty points was the most
interesting and holly contested of
the series. 1t was nip and tuck be-
tween the pair from the time they
strung for the first shot. The slim.
auburn-haired member of the "Off
the Earth company started off like
race horse, but F'oy kept his nerve
and played steadily and, at times.
brilliantly. During the last fifteen
minutes Carter apparently went to
pieces, slipping up on not particu-
lafly difficult shots. Foy took ad-
vantage of his opponents misfortune
and ran the game out.
Just previous to the beginning of the
game happy incident arose, when
Manager Johnson, of the Foy billiard
tourney, in the presence of nearly the
entire "Off the Earth company. pre-
scented Thomas Foley with a medal of
unique design, handsomely engraved

was an utter but most delightful sur
