NOT AFRAID OF FIRE.
A Philadelphia Retriever That went
After FIrecrRcIsers without
"A Sign OF Fear.

Among the enthusiastic patriots up
town the other day was a man who
owns a handsome spaniel and one es-
pecially good at retrieving. This man,
reports the Philadelphia Record, be-
gan his celebration by throwing pack
Of small firecrackers into the street
and before the first one had a chance
to explode the dog rushed out and
grabbed the bunch and was making
toward his master as fast as he could.
Before the innocent dog reached his
destination, however, an explosion
took place, and one after another the
little rolls of powder went popping
at a great rate. OF course the spaniel
dropped them, but he remained in the
middle of the pack, jumping at the
ones that blew up into the air until
the entire pack had gone Off. Then,
rfter picking up one or two Of the ex-
ploded crackers. he returned TO his
master and landed them at his feet
The man petted the dog awhile and
then looked to see If he had been in
jured, and found that his beautiful
coat of curly brown hair had been 81
much singed that ii would be neces
sary TO have it clipped. The dog was
always held high as a retriever in the
estimation Of his owner and those who
knew him, but his stock has risen1OC
per cent. now and no amount OF money
could buy him.

WEEKS WEATHER AND CROPS.


The Climate and Crop Bureau reports
the following state Of Affairs for the
week just ended: The weather during
the past week was exceedingly not ana
dry over the entire section. The tenn
perature at Baltimore averaged eleven
degrees daily above the normal, and
the minimum temperatures reached
each day were from one degree to four
degrees above the normal daily tenn
perathres. No rain of any consequence
fell Ia any part Of Maryland and Della
ware during the entire week. The week
was the hottest seven day period on
record for the time Of year. The
weather was severe on vegetation, but
favorable for maturing corn, which is
ripening very rapidly. Cutting has
begun in some of the eastern and
southern counties. The crop will be
fair. Pastures are fairly good as yet
but are beginning TO show the effect'
Of the hot, dry weather. Tomatoes are
ripening, but in many cases prema-
turely. Reports regarding the crop are
conhicting;they are good in some sec
tions. but damage by blight has short
ened the prospects in others. Potatoes
are being dug; the yield is good in
some sections, but very poor in others
The intense heat of the week inter
fered with farm labor, and made the
ground too hard for plowing.

interesting plan Narrative" of the
capture OF Manila was published by
Rear Admiral Cornish and Brlgadier-
General Draper in reply TO accusations
of infringement of the capitulations
made against these officers by the
Spaniards. Their own allegations are
sufficiently strong: Through the
whole of the above transactions the
Spaniards, by eyasions. avoided COM
plying with the capitulations in every
one respect, except in bringing the
money from the Misericordia and Or
dentacara (ships), which It was out Of
their power to secrete. They basefully
and ungratefully took up arms against

bones of the worlds oppressed, will
clOthe them with new life, resurrecting
the wisdom of the seers, the justice of
