ing the first and second decades Of Decem-
Der was exceptionally favorable for farming
operations and much farm work was done,
but tho ground was getting rather dry Tor
winter blowing before the close oil the
month and this work WAS retarded to some
extent. The showers, with local rains IN
some sections at the close OF the mohth,
were generally needed and were very bene-
fetal for all farming interests. IL Is re-
ported from North Texaa that more pow
ing is being done than usual ana iarm
work as a rule is well up.
Winter wheat continued to do fairly wen
during the carly part OF the month, except
that the severe cold weather at the close
OF November and at the opening or De-
ccnber injured the plant slightly In lew
localities The dry weather was causing
the crop TO suffer from want OF rain. ana
the showers oyer the wheat belt at the
close Of the month were exceptionally bone
fetal to tie crop and VIII improve its con-
dltlon generally. The plant has healthy
appearance and the prospect for good
crop continues promising
Winter and volunteer oats we're dam
aged slightly by the cold weather and the
crop suffered slightly for want Of rain be
fore the showers occurred toward the close
of the month, otherwise the crop continues
promising.

was the appearance at the Michigan

guard who asked her name understood
the woman to reply that she was Mrs.

that Mrs. Luetgert had returned, and

In the case of the latter's son. The
other sponsors were the Marchioness
OF Blandford, mother of the Duke of
Marlborough, and William K. Wander

beautifully decorated with flowers.
Among those present in addition 20
the parents and sponsors were the
Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, Lord
Churchill, Lady Pembroke and Lord
Frederick Hamilton. The Prince of
Wales drove to the chapel at 1880 a.
M, attended by. Gen. Stanley de Cal
vert Clacker, one of his eQuerries, and
was received at the entrance by the
Dukes of Marlborough and Abercorn,
the Marchioness of Blandford, Ladies
Tena and Nora Spencer Churchill and
Mr. Vanderbilt Proceeding to the
font, the sub7dean began the service
and the Prince of Wales, who stood
with the other sponsors, responded to
the usual questions with great distinct
ness, MS WOrQS pelnS neafu dill over
the building.
When the time came for naming the
infant the Marchioness of Blandford
took the child from it's nurse and, in
reply to the subdeans request for its
names, replied: John Albert Edward
William" The subdean then took the
boy in his arms, made the sign Of the
cross upon it and handed the child
back to the marchioness.
The baby, throughout the ceremony,
did not whimper. The hymn having
been sung and the Prince of Wales
having carefully inspected the infant,
the party repaired to the vestry and
signed the register. There the Prince
of Wales presented the parents of the
child with a gold cup upon which was
engraved the names, the date, arms of
the Prince of Wales and the arms of
the Marlboroughs While the sponsors
were in the vestry signing the register
the baby held a reception and was
afterwards carried out preceded by the
Prince of Wales. The Duchess of MARI

Judge Vincent closed his address in
these words:
Gentlemen this prisoner has lost
his fortune, his liberty, and his wife

At this, the crowded court room
broke into applause which the bailiffs
vainly tried to subdue. Judge TuthiIl
his face flushed with anger, stood up
and commanded the applause to cease,
and as soon as he could be heard, he
ordered the court room cleared. Point

BERLIN, Oct 16.-Soon after the
hew United States tariff went into et-
feet the officials of the American en-
bassy informed the German govern
ment that the United States was will
ing to begin negotiations for reel
procity treaty under clauses ana 4.
No answer has thus far been made,
but preparations are actually making
to open negotiations, although the pace
is very slow The question is being
thoroughly considered in the lmperlaI
departments of the interior and finan-
Ces. as we'll as in the German foreign
office. the officials of these departments
being engaged in collecting and COM
piling statistics for ascertalnlng, not
only the effects of the new tariff of
the United States upon the different
branches of German industry, but with
a view of the possibility of extending
new branches of goods into German
exports One of the principals in con-
Quoting this work is Herr Wermuth,
the former German commissioner at
the worlds Columbian exposition at
Chicago, while the statistical branch
is wholly in charge of Baron Won Thiel-
mann, formerly German ambassador
at Washington and national secretary
of the imperial treasury The fact,
however latent, that the cabinet crisis
is still on and is expected to end only
with the departure of Prince HOhen-
lobe, necessarily retards the whole
work of the reciprocity treaty prelim-
inaries.
Erroneous and misleading reports as
tariff on German industry continue to
appear in the press. Consul General
Goldschmidt has just compiled an Of
fetal list of German exports, from
which it appears that there has been
a great decrease in exports for the
quarter ending Sept. 80, largely due to
the very great haste in crowding eX-
ports to America prior to the Dingley
bill becoming a law; but the decrease
in the whole of Germany is only "a
per cent and not Sc per cent, as re-
ported by the Kreuse Zeitung. Mr..
Goldschmidt points out that the
decrease is mostly in sugar, which
was evidenced by the fact that during
the third quarter of 1896 the sugar eX-
ports from Germany to the United
States were valued at Sc, 669 955, while
in the second quarter of 1897, antici-
pating the passing of the Dingley bill
the exports of German sugar to the
United States were nearly double that
amount, namely, $13, $50, 597, but for the
third quarter of 1897 the sugar exports
of Germany to the United States were
under 100000 in value.
SUGAR EXPORTS.
The sugar exported during the fiscal
year of 1S96-1S97, ending in August
amounted to $50, ,227 ,66S, thus showing
an enormous excess as. compared with
normal years. How terrible was the
crowding of German exports, in anticf-
patton of the Dingley bill becoming
law, is shown by the fact that, while
during the second quarter of 1896 the
figures were only $13,S37, ,10S for the Ber-
