THE CROPS IMPROVE.
REPORTS FROM ALL SECTIONS OF
VA. SHOW BRIGHTER PROSPECTS.
THE HARVEST IS BEING REApED.
Correspondents from All Over the
state Say The Outlook Il Changed
NntcrialI, for the Bcftcr-Gardcps
and Truck Doing Well.

The Weekly crop Bulletin issued from
the office Of scction-D Director Evans, OF
the Cnitcd States Weather Bureau, Is
as follows:
Reports OF the correspondents for the
past week indicate that. as a result Of
occasional showers and warmer weather,
there has been noticeable improve
ment in general crop conditions. Corn
is in "a more promising state, though it
IS uneven and backward, and. ii Is
thought, will lot be full crop. 10
bacco has made better growth. and the
outlook, except in a few scattered 10
callties. where It is backward. owing
10 continued droughty weather, is more
favorable than for several weeks past.
Winter oats. rye. and barley are being
harvested. and the prospect IS good for
large yield Spring oats continue to
head low. The harvest of winter wheat
is about finished in Tldewater and MID
die counties. and is IN fun blast in
the Valley section. the threshing Of
this crop has begun, and the yield Is
reported 70 be the best in years, and Of
excellent quality. Haying continues In
the Valley section. with better results
than anticipated. Gardens and truck
are doing very well. bat would be bene-
flied by more rain. The stand Of pea
nuts remains poor in the counties where
the bulk Of the crop Is raised. Cotton
IS holding It's own. The outlook for
melons is favorable. Berries are plent-
full Apples continue falling from the

Complicated State of Anairs.

Interesting complications have arisen
over the efforts to settle up the property Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Orth, who were
drowned in the Erie canal near West
Rome, N. Y, on June 80, when their horse
took fright and jumped of the towpath.
Mr.. Orth's sister, who was riding with
them, was also drowned. Mr.. Ortiz left
about 81, 900, all Of which, by will which
he had made, was left to bis wife. He also
had 81, 900 Of life insurance payable to his
wife II she survived him. Different ad-
ADMINISTRATORS have been appointed for the
estate of each. The question Is, Which
died f1rsts If Mr.. Orth, all his property
went to his wife, and her administrator
would be entitled to act upon 1t and dis.
tribute it to her heirs. If Mrs. Ortiz died
first, the property would 60 to Mr.. Ortiz 8
legal heirs. No one witnessed the acci-
dent, and 1t is not known which died first
The first person ut the scene Of the acct
dent saw Mrs. Ortb floating on the water.
Her husband did not come to the surface.
This much Is known. The relatives Of
each claim the property, and each side has
had an inventory made.-Exohange.

dairy breed, being affected with the
tuberculosis scare. This scare has led to
the importation Of Simmenthaler and
Norman cattle into the country, which
is we'll enough, variety being a good
thing. But we are pal ticuiarly well
pleased to record that the tuberculosis
fad is dying out. Nine-tenths Of it was
only scare to begin. The other tenth,
which may have been real, was brought
about by stuffinR, inbreeding and con-
fining the poor little Jersey to force her
to make record for fairs and shows.
That is the truth and nothing else. =

however, that the Guernsey bull is not
a whit better tempered than the Jersey.

GOLD COIN UNEARTHED.
Supposed to Eave Been Buried by High
wayman Hare.

Supposed to Fave Been Buried by High
wayman Hare.
The finding of q considerable quantity
of gold coin on the old Potter farm, about
three miles from Wilmington, DEL, re-
Gently has caused considerable excitement
among the residents of McKee's hill. A
colored man was at work in a meadow on
the farm when his shovel turned up a
piece of yellow metal which, upon exam
ination, proved to be s2Q.;soldpiece AL
though excited, the man Hept on digging
until he had unearthed several more golden
coins Then John Banks and George
Clymer, seeing his antics, thought he had
gone stark mad and went over to the field
where he was digging. They also were
amazed at the discovery of gold, and the
three men were rewarded by finding about
81 900 in gold.
The money was chiefly In denominations
Of IS and $40 and gave evidence of excel
lent preservation. The fact that the coins
bore dates ranging from 1880 to 1850 led
come to believe that the farm laborers had
discovered one of the places where John
Hare, the noted highwayman and rob-
Der, secreted bis i'll gotten gains years
ago. Hare for many years was the terror
Of the neighborhood. It was frequent
occurrence for him to hold up men on the
roads leading to and from Wilmington and
relieve them of their money and valuables.

Massachusetts Feather Law.

Massachusetts, Feather Law.
Massachusetts has been the first state
to enact law looking to the protection
of birds usually destroyed for milliners'
purposes. Those who drafted and passed
the law were apparently clear in their
minds as to what they wanted and
meant. But littlc they knew the re-
sources of the human mind, familiar as
they were with legal juggling.
The law explicitly prohibits the kill
ing of all birds except those used for
food, also English sparrows, crows. jay
birds and birds of prey. This is one Sec
tion. Another provides that all persons
found wearing the bodies or feathers Of
any of the birds whose killing is pro-
hibited shall be fined $40. The keeping
Of such feathers for sale is also forbid
den.
That seems plain enough. But heve
steps in General Martin, president Of the
Boston police commissioners, and says
no woman can be arrested and fined IN
der the law for wearing feathers. The
reason he gives is the peculiar wording
of the Iaw-whoever shall have in
''his'' possession. etc., His" means
only men, according to General Mar
tins ruling. LET men who wear feath-
ers BEWARE says Martin. Thus far no
serious attempt has been made to en-
force this law against cruelty to ami
mails, though, as a prominent member
of the Boston bar remarked, "There are
more criminals walking the streets Of
