detained at home by the illness of his
eldest daughter Miss Mary, who is re-
ported to have typhoid fever. DR.. Darby
hopes to spend Friday here, unless his
daughter grows dangerously worse.
Those interested in the Orphans home
will meet at the Central Presbyterian
church at o'clock this morning.
On the pulpit platform this morning
will be found a vacant chair. The tall
form of the stated clerk of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church will not rise up
at his accustomed place this morning.
The voice that has so often called the
assembly to order is silent now in death.
Rev. I. G. Blake, d. p, of Nashville,
Tenn, will meet no more with the assem-
bly,, but may the mantle of this good man
fall on the younger ministry.
Some of the interesting questions COM
ing before this assembly are:
l. The approval of the election of an
editor of the Cumberland Presbyterian
and teacher in the theological semi
nary.
2. The election of some one to fill the
vacancy in the stated clerkship, caused
by the death of the lamented Rev. T. c.
Blake, d. D.
8. A complaint by one, Rev. c. H. Lin
coin of Pittsburg, Pa, against the synod
of Pennsylvania, charging the synod
with injustice in suspending him &C. H.
Linco1n) from the ministry.
T. Putting the Presbytery more promi
nently before the church as the response
BILE party on whose shoulder rests the
blame for death in the churches and in
activity in the ministry.
The retiring moderator, Rev. NJ. B.
Dewitt, D. D., Springfield, Mo-, is a ma
tive of Tennessee. He has occupied many
responsible and prominent positions in his
church. Among the churches whose pull
pits he has occupied as a pastor can be
named McKeesport, Pa, and Edgefeld,
Nashville. His name has become as one
of the household names in the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church, and in this
last honor which his church has con-
ferred on him-as moderator of the as
sembly-the church feels that it has hon
Ored itself.

Discussed the Morgan Resolution.

Washington. May 20.-The senate COM
mittee on foreign relations discussed Mr..
Morgan's joint resolutions relating to Gu
ba for more than an hour this morning
without coming to any conclusion. Mr..
Morgan did the most of the talking. There
appears to be disposition on the part of
the committee to await further informa-
ton. The state department has been
asked by the senate to forward to 1t such
information as it has relative to treaties
with Spain. The Interpretation by the
department of the protocol and the treaty
were brought up prominently.

CROPS IN ALABAMA.
Summary Furnished by Director Chaffee for
the Week Ended May Is.

the Week Ended May Is.
E Montgomery, May 20.-(Special MIR.
F. p. Chaffee, director of the Alabama
section of the climate and crop service
bureau promulgates the following:
During the week ending May Is gener-
ally warm weather prevailed in this Sec
ton, the day temperatures for the state
averaging 81 and the night temperatures
So, with daily average of about 4 de-
grees more than normal. What rain that
fell was in scattered showers on Thurs
day. except in some parts of the south
western counties, where light showers
fell on other dates. One or two reports
from the central counties mention heavy
showers on the 14th, which were of
purely local character, and did but little
damage.
The warm dry weather is rapidly ex-
hausting the subsoil moisture, and rains
are again needed In many parts of the
state.
Much work was done during the week,
and all crops are reported as fairly clean.
Under the forcing warmth cotton is
growing rapidly, and already averages
from six to eight leaves in the northern
counties, and Is considered to be about
two weeks in advance of previous years.
Chopping is nearly completed; the grass,
which had gained quite a Roadway, has
been nearly cleaned out.
Corn is growing rapidly, and is gener-
ally healthy, except on some of the lime
stone lands, where worms are doing dam
age in scattered localities. Early corn is
beginning to tassel prematurely.
Early oats, which have headed low are
ripening, and. harvesting is about to be-
gin. Wheat is also heading, and is prom
ising Late sown oats, sugar cane,
ground peas and all small crops are doing
WELL but should have rain soon.
The condition of fruit has deteriorated
during the last few weeks, owing to
blight in pears, plums and peaches and
damage by insects, especially by the
"Curcuo," or Little Turk" which Is
badly damaging plums. Early peaches
are beginning to rlpen.

and We're fined $40 and costs for killing
one deer, and $500 and costs for kill

suspended during good behavior on the
ether charges. 1t appears that this
man and his guide had been camping
at i5alan pond, on east branch of the

rounds there came upon their camp
and caught them practically in the act.
ana found deer meat in their tent and
birds heads scattered around He
promptly arrested them and brought
them before the trial justice as stated.
1t took him two days to get them
from their camp to FoXcroft. The
of a thorough enforcement of
the game laws in this region may be
seen, when it is known that hundreds
and hundreds of different camping
parties have been camping on the

there now But the vigilance displayed
by the commissioners and wardens has
resulted in great good, still the fact is

In blowing in the fall, says The Rural
World, lit is always well to so turn the
burrows that they will lap over one
upon the other, forming what is called
the lap furrow.' which will admit of a
free circulation of air by forming an
air chamber under each furrow the
entire length of the field. By this
means a better drainage of the land
will be secured. the soil aerated and a
greater benefit derived through the
agency of the frost, since not only the
furrow- slice will be frozen, but the soil
beneath it to quite depth, thus break
ing it up and rendering it more porous
and friable. Lands plowed in this
