The loss of life in 1898 was due to terrible
Gulf storms. The st. Louis storm was no worse
than many others of recent years in Missouri
and Kansas, but it happened to strike popu-
lous city. where the others have spent their
force upon thinly-inhabited country.

THE House was able tosshow that the
President was as badly Informed as to
the River and Harbbr Bill as he has
been in regard to pensions he has vetoed.
1t pointed out that Of the total of All
items Of appropriations but q were new,
the rest being for works which have been
going on for years, and which have been
repeatedly approved by the Executive.
The Committee asserts that Mr.. Ceve-
lands statement that private persons had
already contracted to do part of the
work "is wholly without foundation"
Where he claims that an immediate ex-
penditure of $14,000,O00 is called for it
is shown that the amount is only $12,-
621 800; and the maximum amount
that can be expended in any one year is
but Sl6,700,000, instead Of 500, 900 900,
as the President said. Josh Billings
used to say that 1t is better for some
folks not TO know so much, than to know
so many things that ant So"

The Spanish Council of War has de-
cided to suspend warlike operations in
Cuba, owing to the rainy season having
set in. This means practically the end
of the war, for the Spanish treasury is
already grooming under the heavy bur
den of maintaining the troops in Cuba.
They can do nothing now until next
Winter, when it will be found that the
Spanish Government will be unable to
iniuse any new life into the work of
subjugation This is the invariable
history Of SPANS "wars" against her
revolted colonies.

Lord Lowell he stood ut his castle gate,
Accounting his milk white sieed.
When up came Lpdy Marcy Belle
To wish her lover good speed.

"Fns going. my Lady Nancy Belle,

But he had not been gone year and day,

When IanGuishing thoughts came into his head
Lady Nancy Belle he would go see.
SO he rode and he rode on the mk-white steed
Till lie came to London Town,
And there he heard 81. Pancras bells.
Aud the people all mourning round.

%, what is the NATTER" said he;
"A lords lady is dead" a woman replied.
And some call her the Lady Nancy"
So he ordered the grave to be opened wide,
And the shroud he turned down,
And there he kissed her cay-cold lips
Till the tears came triekIing down.
Lady Nancy she died ms it might be to-day,
Lord Lowell he died as Tomorrow:
Lady Nancy she died out Of pure. pure grief,
Lord Lowell lac died out Of sorrow.
Lady Nancy laid In S. Pancras Church,
Lord Lowell was laid in the chpir.
And out OF her bosom there grew a red rose
Aud out of her lovers II brier.
They grew and they grew to the church steeple's

And then they could grew higher.
So there they entwined in p true lovers knot,
For all lovers to admire.

The most recent thing about the Roentgen
rays is that some Of the blind may be made to
see them, though they are invisible to the see-
ing eye. This is explained by the fact that they
will not pass through lenses. An experiment
was tried with girl who had the lenses of her
left eye removed, and it was found that she
could see the rays perfectly, while with her
sound right eye she could see nothing. 1t is
thought that an arrangement can be made by

An Appeal for Funds.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Assistani
Treasurer James L. Norris, of the
Democratic national committee, TO-
night issued call for funds, in which
he says in part:
1.-The Republican party can boast oil
ovefhowing Golfers; Golfers constantly
replenished by the colossal fortunes
of Europe, fortunes gathered in a large
degree of American industry, to de-
feat the will of the people. The Demo
cracy must depend upon the voluntary
contributions of patriotic citizens for
funds to defray the legitimate expenses
of the campaign. 1t has no such re-
sources of combined capital to draw
from; it is undoubtedly conducting the
peoples fight and must look to them
for the means to derfay the indispensi,
Bile expenses incident to campaign
OF educating, printing and distributing
literature, and the securing OF
thorough organization throughout the
land. In view of the foregoing fair
statement OF the political situation and
party necessity I take the liberty OF
aprealing to you for such contributions
as your means will permit, transmitted
by check, bank draft, postoffice money
order or cash as may be most convent
ent, payable to my order. An official
receipt will be promptly sent you"

ted. In Florence the crop was large,
but of inferior quality. In Williams
burg there was less raised than last
year. In Darlington and kershaw the
quality is reported to have been very
good, but the stands irregular and the
yield comparativel y poor. The above
are the onl y counties from which
special reports on tobacco were re
ceived.
| There seems TO be IN improvement
noticeable in the condition of peas, es
pecially where planted in corn fields,
but where sown in open fields with
grass for hay the crop is not SO good.
The latest planted have revived and
may make good crop.
Sweet potatoes have apparently talk
en- on new growth where the show
ers fell, and an increase in the size ol
the tubers is expected. Where pota
toes have been dug, they have turned
out small in size, and consequently
small in yield.
Much land was sown to turnips and
other root crops, following the rains
and better stand is expected than has
heretofore been obtained.
The cooler weather favored farm
work, and it is being prosecuted in ad
