AN EMPERORIN KHAKI
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
 The people of Germany are to be con- graduated The emperor has had some more photographs taken. Most people are satisfied with two or three styles of like nesses, and consider that having them ta- ken is regular bore, but not so William the Young. It took forty different styles of photographs to satisfy him, and we are not told that he was satisfied even then.
 These latest photographs of the young emperor were taken In the uniform which he will wear on his triumphal journey to the Holy Land, and from the descriptions it must be one of the incest things of the sort that ever came out of a tailor's shop.
 It is of a thin, light-brown material. The coat is comfortable and little loose, and bears the badges of a general and the cords of the guards The trousers are tight fit ting, and have broad red stripes, and q worn with high yellow boots. The scAo- bard of the saber Is of brown leather. Tho light-colored helmet is adorned with the Prussian eagle in front.
 When William the Young gets into the far east in that get-up he will be the ob- served of all observers, which is exactly what will please him nest of all in the world. But he runs the risk of being taken for one of Roosevelt's Rough Riders who had bought lot of Spanish medals and decorations for bravery down at Santiago.

CROP CONDITIONS
Weekly Summary Issued by Weather
 Bureau.

Washington, September 2S.-The weekly summary of the crop conditions issued by the weather bureau is as follows:
 The week ending September 26 has been one of exceptionally favorable temperature conditions for the maturing of crops gen. orally through the country. No f;osts were reported from the states of the c9n- rral valleys, but light frosts causing no serious damage occurred in portions of New York; New Jersey and Pennsylvania on the first. Heavy rains de ayed farm work in portions of lower Missouri and Ohio Valleys, and proved injurious in the central states, while drought conditions continue unbroken in portions Of Minne- sota. On the Pacific coast the wea her conditions have teen generally favorable in Washington and Oregon, while rains ranging from one-fourth to more than one inch fell over the greater part of northern and central California, causing injury to raisins and threshed grain.
 Exc Aot in Northern Missouri, where con- siderable late corn needs ten days favora- sble weather in which to mature, the new crop is practically safe from frost and much has been cut.
 Heavy rains in the lower Mississippi Val ley have damaged open cotton ard inter- ferred with picking. Over the eastern portion of the cotton region the weather has been favorable and picking is progress ing rapidly. Picking has also progressed rapidly In Texas, where the crop is report ed irregular, being good in places and poor in others.
 Reports throughout the cottcn belt gen erally indicate that the top crop will be very inferior and in some places d total failure.
 The tobacco crop has been secured with the exception of a small part of the late crop in Maryland, Virginia and Tennessee.
 The soil conditions generally throughout the country, east of the Rocky mountains are highly favorable for blowing and seed- ing Minnesota being the only state in which the ground has ben too dry for this work. The reports generally indicate that fall sown grain has germinated quickly and is coming up to good stand.

WOMAN AND SOCIETY.
BY ANNIE KEHDRIok WALKER.

who is reputed to have sold his nation to Russia He stands in well with her. and to his advice only will she listen. It is these two against the nation.
 Ii Hung Chang as chancellor is the only person outside of the eunuchs and ladies' in-waiting who Is frequently permitted to behold her sacred presence and she lives in strict seclusion in that palace and pal- ace gardens which she entered forty-four years ago. She is now a shriveled, bad tempered old woman of 64, but the few ann bassadors who are admitted to her presence are obliged to prostrate themselves to her royal feet in an attitude of adoration and to do the kotoro, which is to knock the forehead nine times upon the ground in to- ken of abasement and subjection.
 It is wonderful history, and one natural ly thinks back the term of sixty-four years and wonders what difference it would have made to the worlds history If one more little Chinese baby had been drowned be- cause it twas only a girl" The moral? Oh, it isn't a moral history.

The investor is encouraged to save feeling sure that his savings will be returned with a fair profit. The borrower is enabled to pay for a home, the increasing value of his savings helping him very much to get out of debt I endorse "trhe Ala bama Home" by rejoining the company.

 Seyentytwo months ago 1 was living in a house for which I paid $10 a month rent. l borrowed from your association $500 l paid $1150 per month in dues, interest and premium for seventy-two months. The withdrawal value of my stock, with ac- cumuiated profits, then repaid my loan and returned me S61 co which check have just received. I find that the total net cost to me has been s3.66 per month. "The Ala bama Home" has been of great benefit and usefulness to me. The settlement gave me such satisfaction that 1 have rejoined the association.

Kipline's Battle Scene

From New York Commercial Advertiser
 Talking of war correspondents recalls a little luncheon given to Frederic Villers as he was passing through New York on his way home from the Japo- Chinese war.
 The conversation turned on Kipling. Vil- lers was asked if Kiplings battle descrip- tions were at all like the real thing; for instance, the vivid and realistic attack by the Soudanese on the British square in one of the early chapters of 1.-The Light That Failed" Everyone knows how Kipling tells of 1t how he brings it to every sense the jam of animals and non-combatants in the center the rocking odor of sweaty men and leather accoutrements the cries Of the blacks as they charge down on the devoted square, and then the supreme mo- ment when all is one inextricdble mass of fighting, cursing, terror-stricken humani- ty.
 "Yes," said villers, q was one of the non-combatants in the center of at square,"

Theu came the news that a spook

transports, which had started from
Tampa, were delayed until June l4th.
These two facts will be relied upon by
