WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The presi-

modifying the old customs rule of the

greatly limit the number of promo

except after appropriate examinations.
The necessity for the change in the
rules arises from the fact the extern.

Report Of the Weather Bureau for the

WASHINGTON, July ls.-The weather
bureau, In its report of crop condi-
tons for the week ended July 10, says:
Drouth has been broken in Iowa and
partly relieved in Wisconsin and South
ern Minnesota, but continues in Ohio
and with great severity over the south
ern half of Michigan. Excessive rains
have delayed %threshing in Missouri,
Kansas, Northern Texas, Kentucky
and Tennessee, and caused grain in
shock to sprout.
Corn needs rain in Ohio, Northern
Indiana, Southern Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and south Dakota, and would be
improved by rain in Nebraska, where
the blades are beginning to roll. In
the Southern states the finest crop of
corn for years is promised. Frost on

his sister, Miss Josephine Cassidy,
which occurred at 1880 O'Clock Tues

Monday afternoon and although de-
feated by a big score, the defeat was
an honorable one, as the Mexico nine
was easily ut-classed in every way
The st. Louis team which played here
Monday was undoubtedly a much
stronger organization than Won der
Abe had in the National circuit this
last season, as many of the players
were men who played with other cities
last season, but whose homes are in
st. Louis. 1t was an honor to score
two against such an organization of
twirlers and batters. There were sew
eral fine plays made by the home
team, but they had little effect on the
score. Mason was in good form and
so were the st. Louis men, and the
result was that most of Mason's balls
took a trip to Southeast Missouri af-
ter coming in contact with the bat
welded by one Of the st. Louis men.
This gave our 1elders a good chance
to practice high jumping over the
"Club House" fence and resulted in
several home runs. There was a fair
size crowd present and thosel who
were not frozen enjoyed the game
very much. The playing of Reynolds
was unusually good, and his two-bag-
ger and phenomenal stop were the
features of the game. As a general
rule the Mexico boys did notinterfere
with the st. Louis boys grounders for
fear they might disturb the ball in its
