THE cold weather of the past few days
has done great damage to growing
crops, especially early vegetables. 1t
is feared also that In many places the
fruit has been killed or seriousl y
injured. Reports from the North and
West represent that the cold was moro
sudden and more severe there, even al
lowing for difference in latitude, than
at the South. Here vegetables and
fruits were too far advanced in most in
stances to be killed entirely by the
change of temperature which was of
course lessened in severity as it extended
Southwark. At the North there were
not only severe trosts, but in many
places snow and ice, which killed all
the new growths Of grain and vegeta.

aged the fruit where just in bloom. Much
earlier in the season, but at time
when spring vegetation WIS about as far
advanced es 1t now Is in New York and
Michigan there was cold snap which
played havoc with early vegetables and
growing crops in Georgia. Florida and
other Southern States. Thus, it APP
pears, that all sections of the country
have in turn suffered from uncommonly
cold spells for the season, to the great
damage OF growing crops and with
great loss to the people. These disasters,
along with the general business depres-
sion and great scarcity Of money, make
the situation OF the people PECULIARLY
unfortunate; but with their characte r~
istic courage and hopeiulness they will
rally from all such drawbacks, and, at
the end of the year, in crops and cur.
rency, come out further ahead, 80 far as
real prosperity is concerned, than they
have been since 1892.

STATISTICS show that IN the city of
Chicago it COSTS the Baptist Church
1855 for each conversion, the Methodist
Church S3s6 and the Presbyterian
Church $685.. The estimated cost for
making an Episcopalian in the Windy
City is $1,000. These figures may seem
"steep," but there are many reasons
why religion comes higher In Chicago
than in any other American city.

the situation there ISL anything, some
what improved. The number OF men
going to work in the mines Is steadily
increasing as is also the output Of coal
there. 1t is also intimated that
there are prospects OF an agree'
ment between the operators and
the West Virginia miners, and that the
strike may be brought to an end in the
course Of week or more. Whether
there is anything in this rumor 1t Ia at
present hard to say. It is hoped, how
ever. that it may prove true. In the
meantime Governor O'Ferrall expresses
his determination to protect all miners
who desire to work, and thus it is hard
to say when the troops will be removed

MEMPHIS, Tenn, presented a war;
like appearance yesterday at the open
ing OF the Interstate enoampment and
competitive drill at Montgomery Park.
Nearly all the crack military companies
Of the country were there and PARTIES
pased In the grand parade through the
principal streets Of the city preparatory
to the drill for prizes at the park. The
volunteer soldiers with detachments Of
United States regulars and military
bands. numbering in all more than q
thousand men, are said to have
presented magnificent display
we'll deserving the enthusiastic
cheers of the thousands of spectators
along the line of march. These an
nual drills and military displays in
various parts of the country and the
deep interest of the people in them
show that the war spirit OF the nation
is only slum bering, and that at the call
of patriotism, million men as brave
and strong as those now cat Memphis,
will spring to arms ready to sbattle for
home and country. Well may Great
Britain and other beilligerent nations
pause before they provoke conflict
with the United States, which, though
among the most peaceful OF nations, is
one Of the most determined and persists
ent in the world when once their anger
or their patriotiem is fully aroused.

Eva.llng the Press Gong.

1t was not an easy matter to get
married in press gang times. Robert
Miller, a Kirkwall man, found this to
be the case. He returned from the
whalefishing one autumn, fully resolved
that he should take unto himself wife,
But the press gang got on his track, and
he soon saw that if he was to get his
hearts desire he would require to exert
both pluck and perseverance. At length
the fateful night arrived. The company
had gathered and the minister was in
the house of the bride, prepared TO pro-
coed with the ceremony, when the
dreaded press gang made its appearance.
Ladies' are not unusually OF Il belliger-
ent disposition, but when they saw, as
in this instance, the likelihood of a
marriage being spoiled by interlopers
they rose up III wrath against them.
They assaulted the members Of the press
gang both with tongue and missiles, so
that these gentlemen were glad to beat
a hasty retreat. After this little episode
a back window of the house was lifted.
and the bridegroom, dressed in woman s
clothes, bounded into the room. The
doors having been barricaded to prevent
a surprise, the clergyman proceeded to
perform the ceremony, and surely no
bridegroom was ever married in such a

A policeman accomplished delicate
piece of diplomacy the other afternoon
at Cathedral parkway and Columbus
avenue. Excavations are in progress
there for new building, and gang Of
Italian laborers are doing the work I'M
der the eye of boss of their own
nationality. AS the writer approached
the spot Young Italian laborer was
angrily exchanging words with the
foreman. He carried his coat ON one
arm and over the opposite shoulder was
slung his shovel, which he removed and
shook in the intensity Of his gesticula-
tion. Suddenly be saw policeman near
by, and he made dash for the bluecoat
and asked for his assistance
The officer came along with the ltal-
ian, and the two joined the foreman.
The policeman, who was an Irishman
some 40 years old, wore magisterial
air, looked patronizingly and kindly
upon the two Italians, who spoke good
English, and then he listened gravely
to their tale Of woe The boss had dis

satisfactorily. The young man wanted
his wages up to date. The policeman
thought that this was only fair and so
told the foreman.
"But / haven't the contractors

and he'll get his money.
The policeman looked as wise as an
owl, and then turning to the young
Italian he thus delivered Judgment;

The Imposing Structure TO BE Built In
st. Paul at a Cost of s1,275,OOO.

ST. Gaul NJ n Oosb VI wAs~ tDsVvVs
Minnesota has long been unsatistied
with her present state capitol building
in st. Paul, and magnificent new struc-
ture will soon be erected at an expense
of about 81, 275,000 Forty-one archi-
tects submitted plans of high order of
merit, and the winning design was that
of Cass Gilbert of ST. Paul, who was
also chosen to be supervising architect
of the capitol while it is being built.
The old capitol is a rather plain, unpre-
tentious red brick structure that was
built about ten years ago after the pre-
vious capitol had been destroyed by fire
one night while the legislature was sit
ting. The fire spread with great rapid
ity, and many of the solons narrowly es-
capped losing their lives during the ex-
citement.
Most of the state capitols of the
Union are modified copies of the national
capitol in Washington, and Minnesota :
new building has also been planned with
this end in view. The lofty dome is a
conspicuous feature that reminds the
beholder of the national capitol, and IN
many other particulars the proposed

The secretary of the league, the man
who will do the most of the work, is

An effort will be made to reduce the

prompt and effective action on the
part of the great European powers
will not be delayed. Owing to the

In accordance with the recommen-

has been decided to fill consular po-
sitions paying from 81 600 to $500
annually, by a promotion or transfer

tions are to be made by examination,
and include 1876 places. Legislation
is needed for consular inspection.
