The Michigan crop report for May
was issued from the office of the Sec
rotary of State, May 9Th. The report
says: April was a cool wet month.
The last week of the month the rain
fall was excessive, almost drowning
out wheat on low, fat and undrained
fields. The eastern portion of the
central section seems to have suffered
most. The reports were made on
Saturday, May lst, before the rains
had ceased. The average condition
of wheat is as follows: Southern
coun ties, S5; central, "a; northern,
81, and state 80 per cent, comparison
being with vitality and growth of
average years. The average for the
state, in 1896, was 90; 80 in lS95, and
80 in 1894. The condition in the
Southern counties is seven per cent
lower than one year ago.

r. G.. Dun g. Co.'S. weekly review
of trade, of May the sth, says: Near
iy every one will be astonished to
learn, that actual sales In April by
leading houses in each line of bus
mess in the principal cities east OF
the Rocky mountains, average only
about 10 ger cent less than in April,
1892, the year of the largest business
hitherto, and were 81 per cent
more than in the same month last
year. Yet this is the summary OF
357 reports, each covering actual
sales of leading merchants In a line
of business In one OF IA cities. They
are specially encouraging in view of
the great fall OF prices within the five
years, and with exceptional floods
and other retarding influences this
year. While speculative business in
nearly all lines is small, and does not
swell clearing house returns. rs In
previous years, the volume Of legit-
innate trade shows no corresponding
decrease, and the fact is one OF the
highest importance In all business
calculations

An Artistic Fact.

That there have for years been good
art schools in New York everyone
will admit; but the art atmosphere,
which seem an indispensable requi-
site for the making of a successful ar
tist, has heretofore been sadly lack
ing. This season, however, the emf
nent artist, VIM. M. Chase has come
to the rescue, and the art schools
under his supervision, following
exactly the methods of the famous
Academic Julien Of Paris, afford op-
portunities and encouragement to
art students, both women and men,
that previously have been attainable
only by going abroad. A charmingly
illustrated paper on "New York's
Newest Art School," in Demorest's
Magazine for April Is of special in
terest to all art students, and will be
read with pleasure by all. Every one
who will cut out this notice and for
ward 1t, with 10 cents, to the address
below, will receive sample copy of
Demorest's Magazine, containing a

An idea OF the effect the recent
decisions OF the Supreme Court rel
alive to tax titles have had on de-
hnquent property owners may be
gained from the fact that the balance
in the State Treasury, May lst, was
1922, 900, as against $4,000 on the
same date last year. The cores
pondence Of the Auditor Generals
Office this year has already exceeded
that Of all Of last year, the increase
being due to desire of the delin-
quents to pay up, and save their prop
esty. Auditor General Dix says IL
the legislature will simply leave the
present tax law alone, permitting the
several bills providing for clearance
sales, ETC., to die, the state will be
the gamer by fully 81, 500, 900 within
the next year, There are syndicates

Our Washington Correspondent
says: Republican Senators arc as a
rule more inclined to study the
amended Dingley tariff bill, which
was reported to the Senate by the
Finance Committee this week, than
to criticise it. The bill contains a
number of surprises, but they know
that Senators Aldrich, Allison and
Platt, of Connecticut, who compose
the sub committee, which drafted
the amendments, had good reasons
for every amendment they added,
and that all three are strong protec-
tiouists. The bill will be taken up
for debate on the 18th OF this month,
and by that time the amendments
will have been thoroughly digested.
The bill was not accompanied by a
report, but both majority and minor
ity will make one later. Senator
Allison says the addition Of "A cents
a barrel in the tax on beer and the
placing of a duty of 10 cents pound
on tea, both of which are only to
be collected up to January 1st, 1900,
were intended to supply revenue,
that will take the place of what will
be lost by reason Of advance i'm
portations."

The Michigan Central is the only

the only railroad that gives a salts.

too Ill or too lazy to get out of his

liquid wonder OF the world from the
window or the platform. This is the
Michigan Central's strongest hold on
popular favor, its greatest advantage,
Its chief attraction. So long "a the

Some papers are saying that the
prompt passage of the tariff bill in
the Senate would stop gold exporta-
tions. Undoubtedly it would. As
the bill Is not likely to reach the
President before the beginning of
July at the earliest, however, relief
can not be looked for from that
source. The gold outflow is likely to
cease before the Dingley bill gets on
the statute book. Globe Dem.
