A Country Courtship.

He came in the early twilight. When
he knocked, she opened the door and pre-
tended to be surprised at seeing him.
"Be it you, Jims"
Jim admitted being ait" by curt
"yes", and followed her into the parlor.
He sat down on chair without leaning
back, placed his hat in his lap and clasped
his hands over bis knees. She sat on the
far side of the room with her hands lying
idly one In the other. After a lapse of
fourteen minutes he opened the converse
ton:

"All 'cept pap; he's down with roomy-

''I'il CO." she said.
Twenty-fiv minutes elapsed.

"Law mel" she said.
Twenty minutes passed. Then Jim un-
locked his hands, put on his hat and
stood up.
"Goin'?" she said.
''Goin'," he said, and walked out on the
porch. She followed him to the door and
they both stood thus in silence for ten
minutes.
''Must be after s." he said.
"Must be-" she said.
"Good night, Mandy" he said.
Goodnight, JIM" she said, and shut
the door as he walked out of the yard.

condItions rhroughout New England,

Conditions Throughout New England,
from government Reports.
The United States department OF agri-
culture, climate and crop bulletin OF the
weather bureau, New England section,
for the week ending Sept. %, contains the
following:
Cloudy weather with showers has inter
rupted farm work son,ew hat during the
week, delaying the curing OF field corn
and the second crop of grass The first
half of the week was warm, followed by
cooler weather. The mean temperature for
the week was slightly bciow the normal.
Heavy frosts were generally reported
from the northern half OF the district, but
little damage was done except on low
lands and river bottoms. Rain was gem
eral through bout the whole of New Eng
land, although no excessive fall was re-
ported.
The crop reports for the psst week are
mostly encouraging, both as regards
quantity and quality. FAN piowipg and
seeding were delayed by the cloudy and
rainy weather, but pastures were bene-
fitted.
GRAIN-The greater part OF ensilage
corn has been cut and the curing OF such
corn is nearly ended. Field corn IS mostly
cut and shocked, with yield above the
average.
GRAss.-The uDfavorable weat her has
seriously interfered with the harvesting
of rowen, which is reported of good quail
ity. Pastures are in hire condition, with
promise of another months good feed in
| the southern half of the district, and a
fortnight to month in the more mort h.
ern sections. Meadows generally are in
excellent condition.
FRuIT-The cranberry growers report
an average yield and the berries OF good
| quality. The weather is favorable to this
crop. Nearly all reports agree as to the
failure of the apple crop. They are
wormy and rotten, falling badly from the
trees, and during the past week many
were blown off in some localities. Grapes
and pears OF good quality are plentiful.
VEeETABLEs.-Turnip and cabbages
are doing well, although the latter is
being somewhat injured by worms.
Beans are excellent and a good crop.
Correspondents in Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermonti report a better
yield Of potatoes than WAS expected.
In those states some damage from
rot was reported, but not SO
much as from southern parts OF New
England, where there are many COM
plants. Scab is also iDiuring them some.
| The weather has been favorable to har-
vesting the crop, which is progressing
favorabIy.

British Accused Of Brutality.

New York, Oct. 20. - A London
Times special to the New York Times
says:
Referring to the fresh outbreak Of
Anglophobia in Vienna, cores
pondent Of the Austrian Capital
quotes the especially influential Cath
olic organ, The Vaterland, which
publishes an article headed: Lord
Kitchener as Hangman. 1t says
the commander in-chief OF the
British forces in South Africa, in
despair of being able to conquer the
Beers by honest war, has for long
time had recourse to brutality. His
bloodthirstyness was formerly re-
strained by the British government.
but it now appears that a free hand
has been given to him.
The Vaterland goes on to say that
the announcement that Command
ant General Botha will meet violence
by reprisals will convince all that the
Beers are not intimidated, but only
exasperated by Lord Kitchener's in
humanity. The sanguinary seed sown
by the British Commander will pro-
duce harvest of blood and none
can blame the Boer leaders if they
have recourse to a terrible tribution.

MACEDONIAN FueITIvEs KILLED
ON THE FRONTIER.
One Of Them, a Brother Of Nine. Tsllka,
Miss Stones CompanlOn-The Bulgarian
Government Prepared to Act Vigorously
If:: Sufficient Proof Is forthcoming
Turkish Methods Brutal.

London, Oct. 24.-The Morning
Leader publishes the following COM
munication, dated Saturday, Oct, 49,
from Sofia:
''On the frontier near Grossbeloo,
yesterday, five fugitives from Banista,
Macedonia, among them brother OF
Nine. Tsilka, Miss Stones companion,
were shot dead by Turkish frontier
guards while eneavoring to cross into
Bulgarian territory. United States
Consul General Dickinson, believing
that they we're members of the Amer
lean Mission church, has demanded
an official inquiry. Great brutality
exists in the district between Banista
and the frontier, Turkish officials
have arrested over 200 residents of
Bulgarian nationality and subjected
them to torture in order to wiring
from them information as to Miss
Stones whereabouts. Several of them
died under torture. The Bulgarian
authorities, likewise, worried over
the affair, are continuously arresting
fugitives from Macedonia, and this
causes bad blood"
1T is reported from Sofa," says
the Vienna correspondent OF the Daily
Mail, "that United States Consul
General Dickinson has received intel
ligence from shepherds that Miss
tone was seen at 1Jakooua, in Turkish
territory, about two hours journey
from the Bulgarian frontier. "
DIR. Dickinson thinks that if the
original Macedonian promoters of the
abduction can be arrested, the brig
ands who acted under their orders
would accept smaller ransom. As
the Bulgarian government are pre-
pared to act vigorously if sufficient
proof is forthcoming, says the Vienna
correspondent of the Times, this
method of proceeding may perhaps
prove successful.

FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
Government Relief Is Necessary In Five More
Suffering Districts.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 22.--Acting
under additional information from
the governor OF the province Of Sa-
mara, the minister OF the interior has
officially proclaimed famine condi-
tions in five more districts Initials
province. This means that the bad
harvest has already made itself so
keenly felt that special medical and
relief organization is deemed neces-
sary for these districts. 1t is likely
that the list will be added to from
time to time during the winter.
The minister also published today
detailed report about the relief given
to seven Siberian districts. Forty
thousand roubles were assigned. The
present indications are that little in
formation about the famine will be
published in Russian papers which is
not given out by the minister of the
interior. The papers have been given
to understand that incorrect informa-
tion or "colored" articles about the
famine will not be tolerated, and the
Russian editors know when they have
been spoken to. The bad harvests in
portions of Siberia last year and this
year has had the effect OF turning a
part OF the tide of Siberian emipra
tion back toward Russia. According
to an official source, n, 745 emigrants
and 0l9,72I men whom the peasant
communes sent to spy out the land
went to Siberia between January
and September II, and 10, 1888 emf
grants and 1858 ENJOYS returned.
In addition to famine a circum.
stance that deters emigration and
occasions the return of many is the
exhaustion of available farm land.
1t is fact that is not sufficiently un-
derstood abroad that portions of ST.
IBERIA are already fully occupied.
This is true of nearly all good and
conveniently accessible agricultural
land in West Siberia. Recent settlers
have been assigned lands distant from
the railroad or navigable rivers, or
have received forest and marsh lands
which it would not pay them to till
under present conditions. With
additional railways, with new markets
for West Siberian grain in the East
Siberian, Mongolian and Manchurian
mining regions, and with better
modes Of cultivating the ground there
will be room for more settlers in West
Siberia, but the plain truth is that
there is little room for peasants there
now.
