WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
Condition of Weather and Crops
During the Past Week.

The weekly crop bulletin as issued by
the Maryland State Weather Bureau con-
tains the following information concern
ing crops and weather in Southern Mary
land during the past week:
The week opened with comparatively
cool weather; higher temperatures and
sultry oppressive weather were expert
enced later. Partly cloudy to cloudy
weather prevailed. Four persons were
killed by lightning during the prevalence
of thunderstorm on the afternoon OF
Sunday the I3th-:wo in Baltimore coun-
ty and two in Anne Arundel county
and several others seriously injured.
In the districts of deficient rainfall more
moisture is needed for all growing crops
and to soften the soil for fall blowing. In
the truck growing counties the bright
sunshine following the showers has caus-
ed some scalding, but this unfavorable
condition has not been general. The
corn crop promises to be the best for
years. The crop has improved to a
marked degree in the northeastern count
les, and most favorable reports continue
from other districts. The early crop is
practically assured. and In many locaii-
ties one more timely rain will make the
late corn.
The completion OF the oat harvest in
the western counties shows good yields
for that section. The soil is in excellent
condition for fall blowing in the central
and eastern counties, and in some dis.
,ricts the farmers are placing the land in
final shape by narrowing and rolling.
The tobacco crop was badly damaged by
the storm of the and in some of the best
growing districts of the section. The
crop has, tor the most part, been favor
ed by the weather of the past week,
although in few places the fields we're
washed by excessive rains. The crop is
ripening rapidly. and some tobacco has
been housed in good condition. The
early potato crop has generally given
poor yields. The late crop is suffering
from dry weather in the western counties.
and some damage by bugs Is reported
from Anne Arundel; in many localities,
however, fair to good yields are expected.
The tomato yields are generally good,
and the canning factories are now in act
i've opei alton. There is some report of
blight in the eastern and southeastern
counties, but no material injury has re-
suited thus far. Gardens need rain in
the western counties, but are good else
where. Turnip seed is being sown. APP
piles continue plentiful. although the crop
will be greatly reduced in those localities
where the storm OF the and was most
severe. Plums and grapes also suffered
in some districts from heavy hail and
wind. Pears are no longer plentiful
Melons and cantaloupes are going to
market in large quantities; in some dis
tricts the flavor has been somewhat inn
paired by too much rain.

ONE GENT
1000 DEAD IN PORTO RICO.
Many Others Dying From Injuries And
Privations.

The War Department has received a
dispatch from Gen. George w. Davis.
Governor General OF Porto Rico. in which
he says there have been :. 1000 deaths in
the island as a result of the hurricane.
while many others are dying from inju-
ries and privations. General Davis adds,
in regard TO the necessity for supplies:
''Dry split peas are very acceptable.
Canned peas involve too much transpor
tation. in proportion to nu,riment. but
can be used near the seacoast. although
there is much des,itution in the interior
and deaths are occurring from lack OF
food. 1t will not be possible to reach in
terror points with packs before next week
for in many cases the roads and trails
are so destroyed that only men on foot
can get to and from those districts.
"The stores coming on the Mcpherson
will be in time. for ] am supplying most
pressing needs at all accessible points
with supplies now on hand. So great is
the destruction of roads that there is no
communication yet with one-third OF the
island. The commanding officer at each
of the twelve posts is inspector OF relief
for his district. and he has been detained
in every municipality collecting data and
relieving most pressing needs. have
furnished each Inspector with similar
funds and given authority to issue food
from army supplies.

many wagons were overturned and bro
ken, but all are being repaired. Many
thousands of private cattle and horses
were drowned. The larger part of the
deaths among natives was from drown

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.
What He Sees and Hears In a Day q
Walk


Said a gentleman recently returned
from Manila: 81 had some queer ex-
periences before my enlistment and dur
ing the time | served my country, if not
we'll, | hope. faithfully. AS you know
am from small town in Virginia, and
was there when the summons to war
came, although | did not 60 into the
army at once, but later on enlisted from
Maryland where | am located in bust
ness. But what / was going to tell you
is concerning the negroes in my country
home in Virginia. They are queer set,
full of ignorance. superstition, but fear.
were two venturesome young negroes in
our little town, who were dazzled at the
war.glory talk of the enlister, and made
him a verbal promise to meet him at the
depot on a certain day and sign their
papers and go away to the camp which
he represented. The day came and a
huge crowd of their people went to the
depot to see them off. The two lads were
the heroes of the hour and bore them
selves with staggering jauntiness. until
a preacher called the crowd to order that
they might all pray for their departing
brothers. In that prayer he held out no
hope of return, but resigned them
wholly to death and the Spanish bullets.
ooh, Lord, desc boys is been mighty
dancin', banjo-pickin' young uns, but,
Oh, Lord, when de shells is Dustin
'fouRd EN- sabe the souls. even il dey
bodys is gwine down to de black pitt
The excitable crowd caught the spirit of
the prayer and began to wall as il already
at a death scene. Funeral hymns took
the place of jests as in solemn procession
they filed past the two heroes and mourn
fully babe them farewell forever. at the
same time loading them with messages
TO departed friends. Goodbye, Jim,
eff you does happen to go to heaben an
you sees my man dar. jes' tell her howdy
fer me-" Farewell, Dick, farewell;
We gwine to miss you considerable when
de possums gifts fat; an when ives eatin

drap leetle Of de juice onto your burn
in tongue way down yonder in torment.
The ordeal was two severe for the would
be sons OF Mars. They wept as loudly
as anyone over their supposititious death
and punishment, and gazed longingly
back the way they had just come. I'm
der the wailing admonitions military
honor lost its charm; sudden beauty
budded about their cast-off hoe handles
and haloed their torsaken plows; and so.
confessing the error of their recent choice
of an occupation, they turned their backs
upon the tented field and went. instead,
to the cotton patch. The chagrined en-
listing officer, having no signed papers to
hold them. was forced to submit to their
latest decision.
