The Fair.

The popular Rector and the Ladies
Lv c,D graduated upon the beautiful and
successful fair recently held in this town.
1t was somewhat Of an innovation in this
line. Through the influence of MIR. Specht
a rare and useful assortment of articles
was procured in consignment from some
of the leading business houses Of Wash
ington, aud sold at city prices, in fact on
the last day, in order to avoid the trouble
and cost of repacking and reshipping,
many articles were sold at wholesale
prices and those who were present pro-
cured unusual bargains
A most pleasant feature of the Fair
was the music on Wednesday evening by
Prof Eibner's orchestra which was gratui-
touslv given, and also the music on that
and succeeding days so generously con
trihuted By Prof Yundt. Mrs. Lawrence
and Miss Ford of the Washington Man
dolin Club. These gifted musicians GER
tainly deserve the thanks of all who en-
joyed the rich treat.
The articles remaining unsold were re-
shipped yestcr day. The treasury of the
Ladies Association was augmented by
quite snug sum. The gross sales aggre-
gated about $3'33, but the expenses were
heavy.

Condition Of the Crops.

Heavy rains in the Central and East
Gulf States, including portions ct hch-
lucky, Tennessee, Southern Illinois and
Central and Northern Indiana, have re
tar,icd cultivation, and in some sections
caused injury to crops, while drought
conditions continue in the pakotas,
Northern Minnesota, Eastern Montana,
and generally throughout the Central and
Northern Rocky Mountain districts. Rain
is much needed over Il large part OF the
Middle Atlantic States. In the States OF
the Central Valleys the conditions have
been generally very favorable to the
advancement Of crops, except where cN'
ccssyc rains have delayed cultivation, the
showers in Texas, proving especially
beneficial and aifortling much needed
opportunity for cultivation. On the
Pacific Coast the weather conditions
were generally favorable. except in Ror-
tions of Oregon and Washington, where
rain is needed.
In Maryland. Virginia and portions of
North Carolina and Texas, corn is need
ing rain. while it has suffered from eNces-
siyc rains in the Central Gulf States. In
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin
the outlook is unfavoTable, as a result OF
the protracIed drouth, although cncoura@-
ING reports are received from portions of
South Dakota and Wisconsin.
The winter wheat harvest Is now IN
progress in Central Kansas, Southern
Missouri and Virginia, and will begin in
Kentucky this week. Except some lodS
inc in Kentucky and Tennessee, and in
Jury from rain in Arkansas, the reports
generally indicate that the crop has made
satisfactory advancement during the week
although further deterioration is reported
from Michigan. and in Ohio much Will be
cut for hay. On the Pacific Coast the re-
ports respecting wheat are generally favo-
rable, although some fears are entertain
ed that the frost Of the 9th caused injury
in portions OF Washington. Harvesting
continues in California and has begun in
Oregon.
The northern portion of the spring
wheat region has received only scattered
Hight showers during the week, wheat in
that section is in very poor condition
In North Dakota the crop is thin and very
wccdy, and considerable area in that
State and also in Minnesota is being
plowed up for other crops. In Southern
Minnesota the outlook is less discourag-
ing although a poor crop is promised.
The prospect for good oat crop con
tinues nattering, except in the tlrouth area
of the Northwest. Short straw, however
is reported from the Middle Atlantic
States and local storms have cansed injury
to oats of rank growth in Iowa.
The hay crop has been further improv-
ed in the principal hay States, but the
yield as a whole, will be light.
The bulk Of the tobacco crop has been
transplantcd in the Ohio Valley and
Middle Atlantic States, and alargc part
of the crop in New England has been set
An excellent stand is reported from the
States of the Ohio Valley.
With the exception Of apples, pears and
plums the fruit outlook continues favor
able. Heavy shipments of peaches are
now being made from Georgia.

Senator Butler once had Il bill appro-
priating $1,000 to build n monument on
the MoOres Greek battlefield, North
Carolina, which was an especial object
of Senator WolcOtt's fun.
Can the senator tell me the date Of
the battle?" he asked Mr.. Butler.

luton, 30 days before the battle of
Lexington" was the reply.
But cannot the senator tell me the
day and the year?" persisted Mr.. VOL

Mr.. Butler was stumped. 81 can tell
the senator tomorrow" he finally re-
marked.
"Then," replied Mr.. Wolcott, 81 will
let my objection stand until tomorrow
also"
A few minutes later Senator Wolcott
relented, and Mr.. Butler made another
effort to get the appropriation agreed
to. This time it was Senator Lodge
who objected.
