NEW ENGLAND CROPS.

Condition Reported by Weather Bureau
 for Week of to July 3o
 The Boston weather bureau and crop bulletin for the week during July 9o l includes:
 The copious and widespread rain of the 18th and 26th broke the drought which had already caused considerable dame ge, and the weather of the past week has been unusually favorable for most crops. With the exception of parts of New Hampshire, the southern counties of Connecticut and eastern assachusetts, where the drought still continues, the rain was sufficient for present purposes, although the wells and streams have not generally assum- ed their normal condition.
 Under the favorable weather of the f week the condition Of all crops has i'm proved, and the present outlook, in many sections is exceptionally promis l ing. The having season is practically over, particularly on upland fileds Es- inmates place the crop much below the average yield, but generally of good quality. Potatoes and grain in the northern parts of the district are look l ing well, with the season a trifie back ward. During the past week these crops have improved. and are now in good condition. The rain came too late in western Massachusetts to save early tobacco and potatoes; it was also too late in Rhode Island and Connecticut to save smalled vegetables, and espac ially those planted on the high sandy soils. More rain is greatly needed in these states.
 The berry crop will probably be below the yield anticipated, but some locali- ties report extraordinary quantities of blackb rries and blueberres There is an abundance of wild varieties. In some parts of the section apples continue to drop, but the loss from this cause has been considerably checked by the rain, andu those remaining on the trees are reported to be free from worms All fruits in Vermont and Maine are re- ported to be in excellent condition.
 The conditions during the week have been exceptionally favorable for the rapid and substantial growth of vege- tables, and many crops that were con sdered totally lost have revived. The rains of the week have put the fields in condition for the seeding of late vege- tables Turnips are now being sown. Pea lice, grasshoppers and potato beetles are reported in a few localities, but in no place have they seriously af- fected the rops. Beans and sweet corn are doing unusually well in New II ampshire, and late cabbage promises a good yield in Massachusetts. Early potatoes have been almost total fal- ure in Rhode Island and Connecticut, and in the other New England states that crop has been below the average yield. Many potatoes have been of an unmarketabe quality.
 All sections report favorable condi- tions for tobacco plants, with weather favorable to topping, which is well ad- vanced.

The retirement of +. G. RUSSELL as
general superintendent of the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail-
road, which has been expected for sew
eral months, was officially announced
yesterday in this city. when President
w. II. Truesdale notified the local Of
ficials in a short order stating that
Thomas +. Clarke, the present division
superintendent, would succeed to the
general superintendency today. The
resignation is not entirely voluntary,
but has been fastened by a private
business matter which Mr.. Russell has
had in view for some time.
A few days ago the general superln-
tendent was called to New York in
consultation with President Truesdale
and has since been in New York. on
Thursday superintendent Clarke was
also called to New York, and when he
returned to his office yesterday con-
firmed the story. In conversation with
a Tribune man, Mr.. Clarke stated that
Mr.. Russells retirement is due to sew
eral reasons, but did not care to state
them, preferring that Mr.. Russell fur
nish the information himself. Continu-
ing, he said:

NEW HOSPITAL WARD.
Lackawanna will Need an Additional
Physician and More Nurses.

Several changes will be necessltated
in the resident staff of the Lackawan-
ma hospital when the new children's
ward is completed. The number of
nurses will have to be increased and
another house surgeon may be re-
quired.
A good zeal of extra work will be
caused by this addition to the hos
pital and the board of directors has
already decided to secure five new
nurses, and, If this number is not suffi =
cient, to later secure more. This will
raise the present staff from eighteen
to twenty-three nurses.
No action has been taken as vet re-
garding the securing of a new surgeon,
but 1t seems that there will be need
of another physician. Arrangements
are made in the new ward for cots
for fifteen children and room is also
made for contagious cases in the isol-
ated ward on the third floor. This ad-
mitting patients suffering from con-
tagious diseases will be an entirely
new departure, as hitherto there have
been no facilities whatsoever at the
hospital for these unfortunates. and
the need of separate ward has been
greatly felt
The new wards will be ready for oc-
cupancy in about three weeks, by
which time all arrangements will be
completed for the staff which will be
in charge of it.

"Hats Off, Gentlemenlv

''Hats off, gentlemen, a genius!"
wrote the great Schumann of the then
unknown Chopin. The same can be
said OF the eminent pianist, Carl Fael-
ten, on account of his method for
teaching piano, which bears all the
marks of a genius. And charm there
is in the fact that while it is so ad-
mirably devised for developing skillful
pianists, its bears within itself the
power of reducing the cost of instruc-
tion more than one-half, and of equal
iy lengthening the time given to the
lessons.
In boldly preferring the Faelten
method to the old form of private les
sons (Which can be had, If desired)
the Scranton Conservatory of Music
is acting in the interests of the public
and good music with a wisdom ac-
cording to knowledge" -
