Gentle Prince Henry.

y, A former teacher of Prince Henry

speaks of him: Gle was his Prussian
grandmother's darling, was gentle as

peace and quietness. His heart was ex-

stones and open exhibitions by deputy.
He understands his duties as a naval
officer, and is well up in naval tactics.
However, he is fonder of land service
than CT sailing about the world. EN-
press Frederick thought him clever,
and often said he never said or did my

consort, but would resemble him more

substitute for Senator Teller's kite

is the financial policy of the United

until an international agreement with

That is what the republican party said
at st. Louis in June, 1906, and at the

bounty 10 Sc Paid schlsy's Vessels for
Their victory.

Washington, July I3-Some
thing over $2oo,oo will be paid by
this government as "head money
to the officers and sailors who de
stroyed Cervera's feet. This is
according to the law which provides
payment of 500 a head for every
man on the ships OF an enemy
when these ships are destroyed. A
few of the officers will receive
pretty good fortunes.
The law governing the distribu-
ton of this money is very explicit.
There are exact provisions for car
ryiug it into effect, and every man,
according to his rank, will be paid
in due season. The statute is as
follows:
GA bounty shall be paid by the
United States for each person on
board any ship or vessel of war be.
longing TO an enemy at the com.
mencement of an engagement,
which is sunk or otherwise de-
stroyed in such engagement by any
ship or vessel belonging to the
United States or which i may be
necessary to DESTROY in consequence
of injury sustained in action Of
$500, if the enemy's vessel was in
ferior force and of $500 if of equal
or superior force, to be divided in
the same manner as prize money,
and when the actual number
OF men on board any such YES
sci can not be satisfactorily as
certained it shall be estimated &C
cording to the complement allowed
the vessels of its class in the navy
of the United States; and there
shall be paid as bounty to the cap
tors o. any vessel of war, captured
from an enemy, which they may be
instructed to destroy or which is
Immediately destroyed for the pub
lie interest but not in consequence
of injuries received in action, $50
for every person who shall be on
board at the time of such capture.
According to this law the officers
and men of Simpsons feet will be
entitled to 500 for every officer
and man on board the six Spanish
vessels that were destroyed eff
Santiago. Records in the bureau
of intelligence at the Navy Depart
ment show the complement of off
GERS and men on these ships to be
$2,o87.
On this reckoning the govern.
ment will pay to th4 officers and
men of Simpsons fleet SOS 100
The figures in Commodore Wat
sons dispatch to the Navy Depart
ment are slightly different but
change the results only trifle.

CROP CONDITIONS.

The prevailing dry and hot
weather afforded excellent condi-
tons for the rapid advancement of
harvesting OF the crops, and their
securing in good order.
Wheat harvesting is nearing
completion and it is being rapidly
stacked; threshing is in general
progress over the western section,
with good results reported.
Oats harvesting Is in progress
over some counties; the recent
rains have advanced its growth, and
it Is heading out and filling well.
Rye harvest is still in progress and
is being we'll secured.
Hay harvesting is in general pro-
gress and the hay that has been cut
secured in excellent condition; the
yield is reported as very good.
Pastures and meadows show inn
provement from recent rains. The
corn has grown rapidly, it is tassel-
ing and shooting out over some
counties and is mostly in good con.
dition.
Millet is reported as doing we'll
Buckwheat is coming up and is do
ing we'll.
Potatoes continue in good condi
ton and are very promising.
Gardens are doing we'll and show
marked Improvement from the eff
fects of the rains.
Grapes are rotting some, but
they promise fair yield. !
Blackberries are plentiful
Over the northeastern counties
the prevailing drouth is causing
the corn to curl up badly, and af-
fecting the oats, pastures, potatoes,
gardens and millet injuriously;
streams are becoming very low and
rain is badly needed for all vege>
tation.
