MEN WHO WEAR JEWELS.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The theft Of Lord
Anglesy's $4,000 worth of jewelry, used in
his personal adornment alone, has brought
out much talk in ultra-fashionable socie-
ty regarding men who wear unseen jew
els. Investigation among western jewell
ers disclose the fact that there is an ex-
tensive trade in eurios and costly articles
worn beneath ordinary clothing. such as
snakes around waists, necks and legs,
bangles, chains and amulets of various
singular designs. Besides this extraor-
binary vogue the fashion among men of
wearing jewelry increased enormously this
year, many using two pairs of links in
each cuff and jeweled buttons with even
ing waist coats. 1t is recalled in this
connection that King Edward occasion
ally wears a bangle on his wrist, that the
late Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
wore a heavy gold bracelet for years and
that Lord Brampton (better known as
Justice Hawkins. of the queens bench d.
vision of the high court of justice), even
when sitting on the bench wore a number
of such ornaments.

TTON CROP TO Be
100000 BALES
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
ANNOUNCES AN ESTIMATE
ON THE YIELD.

An estimate given out by the depart
ment OF agriculture Saturday places
the Georgia cotton crop this year at I250.-
900 bales. The crop last year was 1880
bales.
Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
has for some time been investigating the
cotton crop conditions in the state. He
has carefully estimated the acreage. and
taking into consideration the attacks
which have been made upon the crop by
the weather and disease. he has estimated
the yield at the figure named.
The estimates Of the department have
for years in the past been very accurate,
and the announcement made by Commits
sioner Stevens Saturday viii be ac
cepted as the most reliable estimate that
can be found.
According to the figures, the yield will
be 5000 less bales than last year. It was
known early in the season that the acre
age in cotton this year was greater than
last, and for this reason 1t was thought
that the crop would be greater than last
year.
In some sections of the state the crop
conditions have been better than for many
seasons. In others. however, II has been
very unfavorable and in some Of the best
cotton growing counties in the state the
rains have destroyed the top crop.
Other fatalities have damaged the crop
to some extent
Anuhracnose, a disease of the plant, has
been very viruient in some sections, and
this has destroyed considerable acreage.
From the reports which have been re-
ceived at the department from other
states the indications are that no south
ern state win raise full crop. As pre-
viously reported in The Journal the crop
in Texas is very short being almost a
third of.
In Mississippi the crop is also reported
short.
The prices on the crop this year are
expected to be higher than last which
means that the farmers of the south will
be in a very prosperous condition.

was characteristic of the institution be-
fore the fire.
The officers are now busy engaging IN
the work of preparing the plans for the
re-establishment of the home although
this work will necessarily be very slow.
There are numerous details to be dis
cussed and perfected before any def
mite plan can be decided upon. Many
architects have visited the site of the old
home preparing to draw plans for the
new home upon the cottage idea. These
will be submitted to President Calhoun.
He will then call a meeting Of the re-
building committee which viii take under
consideration all the plans that have been
submitted and decide upon the one which
Is most feasible.
Bids for the construction of the home
upon the plans adopted will then be asked.
These bids viii be opened after a given
length of time, the contract let and the
work of rebuilding will begin. AS little
time will be lost as possible but it will
likely require six weeks before the re-
building can begin.
The subscription list today is gradually
growing and is far above the $4,000 mark

Of Commodore Scisiey's flagship. the
Brooklyn. continued his testimony before
the Schley court OF inquiry today after
some Of the other witnesses Of yester-
day had been given an opportunity to cor
rect their testimony.
When the court adjourned last night
Commander Hodgson was in the hands
OF Judge Advocate Lemley. whose exam
nation OF him partook very largely OF the
nature OF a cross-examination. This was
due 70 the fact that Mr.. Hodgson had
been called BY both sides OF the contro-
versy and was considered even more a
schley witness than a government wit
ness. Captain Lemley and Mr.. Hanna
continued the inquiry for the government

questions intended to. present the Schley
side Of the conduct OF the Brooklyn du-
ring. not only the battle OF July g. but Of

Mr.. Hanna inquiries were devoted part
~ to developing more Of the details con-
corning the bombardment of the Spanish

correspondence between Commander
Hodgson and Commodore Schley was al
so put in evidence. The court begun Its
session today with the understanding that
there would be only one sitting. This
agreement was reached and was brought
about by the fact that the members OF
the court and counsel found themselves
greatly fatigued by the exacting nature
OF their work and the continuous ses-
