RAIN, RUST AND ROT.
COTTON is GREATLY DAMAGED
THROUGHOUT THIS SECTION.
Two Stalks Sent to New York for Elk.
hibitiOn at the Cotton Exchange
in That City.

Much anxiety is expressed by the
farmers as to the effect of the rains
on the cotton crop.
Cotton that gave promise of album
dant yield before the rains set in has
completely given away under the daily
showers.
Farmers from all sections of this and
adjoining counties report the plants to
be shedding badly, rust and rot have
set IN to an alarming extent, and boil
worms promise to do even greater
damage. In many fields more than
half of the bolls have been attacked bv
worms and Will be entirely ruined.
To fully confirm the reports that
have gone to New York of serious
damage to the crop Mr.. r. L. Saville.
cashier of the First State Bank, sent
two stalks of cotton to that city Fri.
} day to be exhibited on the floor of the
Cotton Exchange. Both of these
stalks were taken from different parts
VI III ~ y OldIh COUUOu uelu near
DaWson-One from low land and the
other from high land-and showed to
what extent the worms and the rot
are destroying the fruit. On each
, stalk there were about 20 bolls that
had been attacked by the worms and
rot and about 10 sound ones.
1t is believed that when the cotton
men become convinced that the crop
has been seriously damaged there will
be an advance in prices.

HAS BOUGHT THE NIcTHERoY.
United States Gets the Famous Brazilian
Cruiser.

New York. April ia dissptch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Admission is made at the navy de-
partment that the Brazilian cruiser
Nictheroy has been purchased subject
to an inspection by a naval committee
to be appointed by Minister Bryan.
The Nictheroy which is equipped with
dynamite gun will, naval authorit-
ties say, be available for siege duty
provided she is still In good condition.
The Nictheroy was built at Newport
News five years ago and sold to Brazil
six months after her completion, being
converted for that government into a
man-of-war. She is n steel vessel of T.
0S0 tons displacement and her one
screw propels her at the rate OF 10
knots an hour. Her engines and boilers
are protected by coal and her arma-
ment consists of one 10 inch pneumatic
dynamite gun; s six Founders, 10 one
FOUNDER and four Howell torpedo tubes:
one 4-inch quick firing gun; 3.9-inch
qulck-firers By the terms of contract
under which she will be sold to this
government she will be delivered at
any point on the coast of the United
States that the department may desig-
nate.
There has been some talk in naval
circles of holding the Nictheroy at Rio
Janeiro until the arrival OF the battle
ship Oregon and the Eunboat Marietta
at that point so that they may shift n
crew to her and convey her to Key
West. These vessels, however, will not
reach Rio In less than twenty -four days
and If war were 10 he declared in the
meantime and the Nictheroy had be-
come the property OF this government
Brazil would be compelled to refuse to
deliver her.
II the Nictheroy should leave Rio and
war should be declared few DAYS af-
ter her departure the officials say the
Spanish governuent might send the
torpedo boat Temerario. which is still
Mt Montevideo. after the American ship
In order to seize her as contraband Of
war. and should she resist the Spaniard
would make an effort to sink her. The
department has determined. however.
that 1t is to the Interest of this govern
ment to have the vessel delivered in
America before the sale is confirmed
and by this means II is believed we
cannot possibly suffer loss.

Spaln's two cruisers. the Vizcaya and
Almirante Oquendo, which recently ar
rived at Porto Rico from Havana, have
sailed from Porto Rico. II is understood
their destination is the Cape Verde
Islands.
In Withdrawing the armored cruisers
Vizcaya and Alnirante Oquendo from
Western waters, Spain has acted in n
manner which is approved by naval ex-
perts when thinking of her interests
AT the Cape Verde islands they Will
Join the armured cruisers Cristobal
Colon and the Infanta Maria Teresa,
which are on route to that place. and
the first torpedo boat flotilla, which, II
Is Officially stated, consists of the trans
port steamer Ciudad dc Cadiz, torpedo
boat destroyers Juror, Terror and Plu-
ton. and torpedo boats Article, Azor
and Rayon.
II IL appreciated by the officials that
the union of the four armored cruisers
and the notilla makes formidable
force but 1t Is, of course, impossible
to prevent 1t at this time. II had been
hoped by the officials that the Ameri-
can fleet would be able to catch and
destroy the Vlzcaya and Oquendo be-
fore they could join the remainder Of
the Spanish fleet. ana It Is admit, I.
that Spain acted with good Judgment
in directing them to proceed to the
Cape Verde islands.
Spain has at her disposal a force which
will prevent the American navy from
gaining an easy victory, and II war
should break out some hard fighting
may be expected.

The Calmue1ss are s.

in succession. The CalmueRs are
people Of the Monaghan type and are
found in the Chinese and Russian en-
pires as well as other portions Of cen
trail Asia. They are of middle height.
fairly proportioned, and Of consider
able strength. Their cheekbones are
prominent. nose turned up, the beard
thin and the hair scrubby. They live
in conical, felt tents, which they set
up in regular lines like the streets Of
a town. Their wealth consists en-
tirely of small but high spirited horses,
excellent cattle, and broad tailed,
rough-heeced sheep. The Calmucks
have many vices Gambling is tho
most prominent, and they are so much
addicted to the habit that they fire.
quently stake everything they possess.
The shearlng season marks the begin
ming Of long period Of merrymaking,
gambling, of course, being the prin-
cipal diversion. They are skillful in
the art Of shearing, and combine bust
ness with pleasure by gambling on the
Gpeed Of two or more of the most adept
shearers. A Calmuck may begin his
shearing a comparatively wealthy man
and end up with his possessions in the
hands of his more fortunate opponents.
But the Calmucks never get dlscour-
aged over losses by gambling. After
losing all, with the aid of Allah they
start ont confident Of recuperating
their lost fortunes, and It so happens
that within a years time they are in
possession Of more wealth than when
their misfortunes overlook them. But
there is no cure for gambling among
these wandering tribes. Thay keep on
gambling as long as they have any
thing to gamble with, and starting
with a thoroughbred they sometimes
end up with stalking part of the clothes
they have on. The tribes have no uso
for reformers. The total number Of
Calmucks in the Russian empire may
be estimated at 100000. In the Chinese

h AEODOaE TILToN, PARIS.

One Of the most commanding figures
10 De seen on the bouleyards of Paris
is Theodore Tilton. He Is 6 feet 4
inches in height. finely proportioned,
with snow-white hair reaching down
to his shoulders, and noble features.
Inc self-expatriated American poet is
now 63 years old, but retains much Of
the joyfulness and spirit of youth. He
Is Drlmful Of wit and humor, and an
lnlmitable story-teller. For many years
Mr.. Tilton has kept up coy apart
ments on the edge of the Latin quar-
ter near the banks of the Seine. He
has surrounded himself with books and
Drlc-a-brac, and seems content to here
pass the remainder of his days, So
clety has little attraction for him,
though he is sought assiduously by the
women leaders of functions in the
American colony. His greatest delight
is to entertain friend or two at a
cafe corner dinner, from which the
hesh OF birds is excluded, because Of
MS sensitive dislike of their wanton
destruction. The gossips have more
than once married Mr.. Tilton to some
rich American widow, but these affairs
OF the poets never came out as pre-
dicted.
Mr.. Tilton was born in New York in
1S25- The nomination of Col. Fremont
by the anti-slavery party for the presl-
dency of the United States shaped his
public career, for he allied himself
from the outset to the group of re-
formers known as the abolition auar-
chists," the most representative fig
ures in this historic band being vii
liam Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner.
Horace Greeley, Wendell Phillips and
Benjamin f. Wade. Though much
younger than these champions, he was
Of tho original phalanx, and is one
of its few survivors. AS a speaker and
writer his active public life covered
the period not only Of the anti-slavery
agitation, but also of the secession war
Of the reconstruction. During all these
reformatory movements and the excit-
ing crises that succeeded each other
rapidly he was devoted to literature.
Mr. Tilton was person friend of John
Brown, and took the body Of the latter
north from Harper's Ferry for inter-
ment.
For fifteen years Mr.. Tllton edited
the New York Independent a weekly
now conducted by Professor William
Hayes Ward, the well-known oriental
list. He Travelled a great deal as a lee
turer throughout the United States.
In twenty-five years he covered $780,
coo miles. In 1890 he went to Europe,
evidently with the determination of re-
naming there the rest of his life. His
habits are precise. He rises at 4 O'Clock
in the morning the whole year round.

His Opinion Unchanged.

Two citizens of Nebraska were
caught in one of those violent funnel
shaped clouds, and, as they scooted
along in the midst of ruins Of build
ings and flying trees, one of them re-
marked: This is the worst cyclone l
ever saw" Ignorant man." cried the
other in tones OF scorn that were al
most drowned by the rush of the storm,
"can you distinguish cyclone from a
tornado? Are the teachings Of science
altogether lost upon you? This is a
tornado. and, as described by Professor
Loveland and Meteorologist Gee, 1t
is" Just then a church steeple
transAxed the speaker and he persisted
In great agony. while the other man
drifted along for ten miles or SO and
was dumped softly into sandbank'
AS he brushed the sand out of his teeth
and ears he remarked: well, that
was the worst cyclone ever saw.
