Weekly Crop Report.

The weather bureau in its report of
crop conditions for the week ended July
% says:
The drought conditions of the previous
week in the States of the central valleys
ard lake region have been relieved in
sections only and at the close of the week
ended July % rain is needed over the
greater part of the lake region, Ohio,
Mississippi and Missouri Valleys, in por-
tions of New England and the Middle
Atlantic States and the greater part OF
Texas, while portions of the East Gulf
and South Atlantic States have suffered
from excessive rains.
In Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, which produce consid-
erably more than half the entire product
of the United States, corn is generally in
need of rain, and in Iowa and portions of
Missouri the crop is threatened with seri-
Gus injury unless rain occurs soon. In the
the Southern States continued favorable
reports concerning corn, which is matur-
ing rapidly, are received.
Winter wheat harvest continues on the
North Pacific coast, having been practi-
cally completed during the previous week
in all districts east of the Roaky noun
tains, and in Oregon it is turning out bet
ter than expected.
Spring wheat harvest is well advanced
in the central portion of the spring wheat
region and the crop is maturing rapidly
and well in the northern portion. In Ore
gon spring wheat is reported nearly as
good as winter, which is an unprecedent-
eddy good crop. In Washington spring
wheat harvest will be gin in about ten days.
Reports concerning tobacco are general
ly favorable, except in Maryland, Penn
sylvania and portions of Ohio and Ken
lucky. Recent rains have improved the
condition of the crop in Maryland, where
comparatively small area has been plant
ed. In Kentucky the crop is of poor
color, slender stalk, and is "Frenching."
In Virginia the outlook is exceptionally
favorable Cutting and curing progresses
in the Carolinas, Florida and Texas.

The Tomato Blight.

Professor James S. Robinson, OF the
Maryland Agricultural College, states that
the tomato crop is about one-third short
from the tomato blight, which, during the
past few years, he says, has been grow
ing steadily worse.
The experiments conducted by Prof.
Robinson at the State Experiment Station
during the past two years show conclu-
sively that the tomato blight can be en-
tirely prevented by spraying with the
Bordeaux mixture two or three times; as
this mixture can be made at cost Of
about half cent gallon, and as its
application insures a yield of at least a
third more fruit, it would surely be to the
advantage of our tomato growers to give
the Bordeaux mixture trial. Moreover,
in addition to preventing the blight, the
mixture applied on the young plants in
the bed entirely prevents damage by the
fly, which makes the supply of plants so
uncertain at present. AS it was too late
to spray in the beds, Prof. Robinson last
week conducted operations on plants set
out in the field in Worcester county.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications rs they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is intiamcd you have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

The Third "Inter NOS.'

The dance given at Masonic Hall, by
the Inter Nos club, last Friday night,
was complete Il success as the preced-
ing ones have been, and all had delight
ful time. The music, three pieces of Prof
Briscoe's Orchestra from Baltimore, was,
as usual, very inspiring to the many feet
that lightly trod the mazes of the dance
on the polished floor. There is no lovelier
girls and many youths, animated with the
spirit of pleasure which only the buoyancy
of youth can bring. Supper was served
at midnight, under the direction of Mrs.
Malcolm Henry, Mrs. Darnall and the
Misses Merrick. The table was laid in
lower hall and gracefully decorated with
sunhowers, ferns and many other lovely
blossoms. Tall candelebra of silver shed
their soft light over the attractive menu
consisting of terrapin, sandwiches, raw
tomatoes with mayonaise dressing, iced
tea, peach and orange ice cream and
cake.
We have been requested to state that
the supper was not up to the usual stand

not paid sufficiently early

A Tribute of Respect.

After the business of the Circuit Court
of Charles county had been disposed of
last week. a meeting of the Bar was held,
and resolutions in memory of the late
Hon. Richard H. Edelen were reported.
Judge Merrcl who presided at the
meeting made the following beautiful re-
marks:
Gentlemen of The Bar Our assembling
together upon the present occasion is the
result of one of those natural events Incl
dent to our mortality. Death has taken
to his chilly embrace one of our most dis
tinguished members, and we have met to
do honor to his memory. The Court has
listened with mingled feelings of sadness
and pleasure to what has been said by the
members of the bar in eulogy of our de-
ceased brother. Sadness crowds upon us
as we realize that he has gone from us for
ever, whilst CLEAN of pleasure illumines
the dark cloud as we hear the kind words
spoken in just praise of our departed
friend. l have known Mr.. Edelen since
my earliest manhood and have had the
pleasure and honor of numbering him dur
ing all these years among my best and
sincerest friends. AS a lawyer he was
distinguished. He reached the front rank
of his profession and twice had the oppor-
tunity of being appointed to the Chief
Justiceship of this Circuit, but declined the
honor, preferring to pursue the even tenor
of his quiet professional career in which
he had been prominently successful. He
was an upright citizen, true and sincere
friend, quiet unobtrusive man devoid
of guile and above suspicion. He has not
lived in vain and the community is better
for the legacy of his life's example. How
suggestive of the uncertainty and swift
ness of life's fleeing years is an occasion
like the present! Yet death should have
no terrors and friends few tears, when
the fragrance of well spent life shall
arise like incense from the grave. Those
who knew the deceased have, most assured
ly this great solace. The Court will take
pleasure in ordering the resolutions spread
upon the minutes of the Court, and copies
sent to his family and the county papers.

ny, has advices of the completion of
the company's aerial railway over the
Chilkoot pass in Alaska. The compa-
ny's system is n railroad from Dyea to
Canon City. thence IL system of aerial
tramways over Chilkoot pass to Lake
Linderman. This marks new era
for Klondike's travel. as the time be-
tween tidewater and the headwaters
of the Yukon river is shortened from
u month to one day. besides removing
peril and hardship. The company
made a contract last night with the
Canadian government at 10 cents per
pound for transporting all its freight
for the mounted police from Dyea to

QUICK RESPONSE.
SPEAKER REEDS PROPOSAL.
He VIII Have the House Promptly Kill
the Teller Resolution to Show the
Country How 1t Stands.

Washington, Jan. 31.-It is the inten-
tion of the House leaders to onset, ms
far as possible, the action of the Sen
ate In passing the Teller resolution by
killing that declaration of the sense OF
Congress regarding the payment of the
government coin bonds in silver on n
yea and nay vote in the House this
week This will be the feature Of the
proceedings.
While the full Republican strength
in the House cannot be combined
against the resolution, no doubt Is eX-
pressed by those who have made 1t
their business to canvass the situation
that the majority against it will be de-
cisive. AS soon as the resolution Is re-
ported back from the ways and means
committee, which may be tomorrow,
the rules committee will bring In
special order for its consideration.
The time allowed for debate is likely
to be brief, as the leaders do not be-
lieve there Is any necessity for pro-
tracted debate, and moreover long
discussion would measurably decrease
the very purpose they have in view,
namely, prompt and decisive mega
tive reply to the Senate's declaration.
The remainder of the week will be de-
voted to the appropriation bills. The
District of Columbia Is still under dis
cussion and the fortifications bill is still
on the calendar.
The House leaders intend to give ap-
preparation bills the right of way In or
der to make an early adjournment pos
sible. The moment the appropriation
bills are out of the way. the new rules
will be brought in and after that the
contested election cases and the bank
ruptcy bill Will be brought forward.
The Senate proceedings for the week
will open with speech by Senator
Pettigrew. dealing with the Hawaiian
question. delivered to-day. Beyond this
speech 1t is very difficult to forecast
the outlook for the week.
The diversion occasIoned by taking
up the Teller bond resolution has left
the Senate in n somewhat disorgan-
lied and unsettled condition, and with
no prearranged program.
