WHAT WE OWE TO JULES VERNE.
He Has Lived to See the Realization
of Some of HIS widest Dreams.
TTroya the Icioora

II iOhl NAic II ieSoA
There is no exaggeration in saying
that some Of the most extraordinary
prophecies of Jules Verne regarding
travel and scientific achievements have
already been realized or are on the eve
of realization. Indeed, at times, the
reality seems to have surpassed his
most fantastic flights.
1t is enough almost to make one sus-
pect that he has found In the depths
of the mysterious grottos where Capt.
Memo used to hide his treasures. the
magic amulet which gives the key to
the secret of the future.
Has not Capt. Hatteras had hum
dreds of emulators? None of them, Of
course, has, as yet, reached the SUI
preme object Of his desires-the intan-
gible Pole; but, following his foot
steps in the line of the direction of the
magnetic needle, have they not all
more or less approached 1t? Does not
the story of the voyage of the Belgica
through the ice of the Antarctic Circle
resemble a page torn out of the

jof Nansen, in the course of his north
ern odyssey, have to make a voyage.
Just like that of the hero of the pays

WEATHER HARD on CROPS.
Outlook for Cotton Is Not PROMISING
in Georgia.

Atlanta. Sept. S.--The crop report for
the week ending last night, is as fol-
lows: 1.-The Characteristic features of
the weather were a continuance of
heavy rains in numerous counties and
temperature ranging slightly below the
normal. The rainfall was particularly
heavy in the east central counties. As
a result of the prevailing conditions,
the cotton crop is suffering, and is
greatly in need of sunshine and warm
weather
Complaints Of injury by rust, she'd
ding and rotting of the bolls, and in
Jury by boil worms, continue through
out the greater portion of the state, SO
that the general outlook for the crop
is not very promising Picking has been
delayed by the wet weather, and the
movement of the new crop is slow.
Fodder pulling is practically completed
in the middle and southern sections,
while in the northern counties the crop
has been damaged considerably by the
heavy rains. Preparations for fall gar

REINSTATED THEM ALL.
OutIawed Horsemen Admitted to
Full Privileges Again.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-The prediction
that the horsemen outlawed last spring
by the Western Jockey Club would be
reinstated has come true. It is an
nounced that one of the decisions
reached during the protracted meeting
in this city yesterday and to-day was
to reinstate all of the horses and horse
men outlawed last, spring who had
made application. The Western Jockey
Club thus reverses the strongest rul-
ing made in its fight against the oppo-
sition tracks. No exceptions were
made, the reinstatements including all
applicants.
The meeting developed the fact that
M. Williamson. who has been secre-
tary of the local track at Worth, and
who holds a contract with the Worth
people for a years service, has been
deposed. and that r, A. Hillyer, Sec
rotary Of the Windsor Jockey Club was
installed as his successor. The fact
that Williamson had served at a rival
track is said to be the cause of the
change.

SECURED MUCH BOOTY.
Train Held Up and Express Safe
Blown Open.

Texarkana, Ark, Sept. 4.-No. Cot
arkana at 9:25 p. M, in charge of Con-
ductor Armstrong and Engineer Hen
derson was held up and robbed near
Eylau. four miles south of Texarkana
last night.
The train was tagged by one of the
robbers, who proceeded to force the
firemen to go back and cut off the mail
and baggage cars and returning forced
the engineer to give up the manage
ment of his engine. One of the iobbers,
who 1t appears is an expert engineer,
ran the engine, mail and express cars
about a mile from the point where the
first stop was made, and forced the
express messenger to open his car.
icy then blew open the safe with dy-
Mantle, securing, 1t is said, very
large amount of booty. The exact
amount is withheld by the Cotton Belt
Railroad and the express people, but
it is known that very large shipment
was made tonight on this train,
The robbers, after securing the loot.
cut off the engine from the mail and
express car and forcing Engineer Hen
derson to get off they took the engine,
in charge of the robber engineer, and
went south at full speed.
At 1880 o'clock this morning the en-
CINE had not been found. -
No passengers were molested. They
We're, however, very badly frightened,
and hid their valuables. The robbers
were evidently in possession of all
facts concerning this particular ship
ment of money together with a sched-
ule of the train, as their scheme was
successful in every respect.
suspicious character was seen to
board the head end of the train leav-
ing TeXarkana. Railroad employees
here seem to be confident that the rob-
berry was committed by railroad men
from the manner in which they super
intended the cutting off of cars and
handling of the engine.
The spot selected for the robbery
was well adapted for this kind of work
as 1t is very wild, and heavily TIM
bered.
The conductor and several passen-
gers walked back to Texarkana, a dis
lance of four miles, The sheriff and
posse have been summoned to go in
pursuit of the robbers. At this hour
the passenger train stands in two
pieces with the engines whereabouts
unknown. So far as known no one was
injured. There were five men in the
gang.

Cuts the waves on Navesink with
Ease and Grace.

New York. Sept. 3.-With her owner
designer, builder, manager and sail
maker on board, the yacht Shamrock
II sailed her seventh trial race to-day
off Sunday Hook and the highlands of
Navesink. There was a light breeze
from the east northeast of sufficient
strength to give very satisfactory es-
innate of her speed in light weather.
Although at times there was not more
than three-knot air. at no time did
the yacht act sluggishly. She slipped
through the water at an amazingly
good rate of speed. under the influence
of her great mainsail and light sails.
The water was smooth, but even when
pressed to a speed of nine knots the
yacht made a very small wave at the
bow, and left an absolutely clean wake.

CROP AsToSlsHERs FOR 1900.

The agricultural department of the
government has just made public the
following industrial estimates: Wheat
crop of the United States 4c- 1900 at
522, 900, sos bushels, the area actually
harvested being AZ, 495. 1856 acres, and
the average yield to the acre IL 80 bush
els. The production of winter wheat
is estimated at $50 OPS, 400 bushels, and
that of spring wheat at "a, 204. 096 bu-
shells, the area actually harvested being
26. 235, S97 acres in the former case and
10, 259, 4S8 acres in the latter. The new
~ seeded area of winter wheat Is esti-
mated at 80, 2sa, 564 acres While this
is slightly greater than that sown in the
fall of 1899, as estimated at that time
it is 600, 654 less than the area that was
actually sown, the Discrepancy being
due to the remarkably rapid develop
ment Of the winter wheat growing in
the state of Nebraska which the depart
ment's reports have failed to note. The
production of corn in 1900 IL estimated
at 2, los, 102, SIC bushels; oats 800, 1875, 9S9
bushels. harley 81, 925, 1913 bushels; rye,
90. 800. ~ bushels; buckwheat, o, 500. $3.50
bushels; hay. so, 40, 9O6 tons. The area
from which these crop were gathered
was as follows; Corn. SO, 800, S72 acres
oats, %, AGA. 795 acres; barley. 2,S94. 795
acres; rye, 1904, 1896 acres; buckwheat,
637. $50 acres potatoes, '3,611. 054 acres;
hay, 80, 1872, 500 acres. The corn crop of
1900 was one of the four largest ever
gathered, willie the wheat crop has been
exceeded only once. On the other hand
the barley and rye crops are the smallest
with one exception in each case, since
1897 the buckwheat crop is the smallest
since 1888, and the hay crop is smallest
with one exception, since 1888.
