November Crop Report.

The Weather Bureau has issued the fol
lowing statement of crop conditions for
November:
The month was marked by exceptional
" mild temperatures in all districts east
of the Rocky Mountains, with excessive
ly heavy rains on the North Pacific Coast
and from the lower Missouri Valley to
the West Gulf Coast, and more than the
average amount over large portion Of
the South Atlantic and East Gulf States.
The reports generally show that winter
wheat was in very promising condition at
the close of the month. With ample
moisture and exceptionally mild temper
atures throughout the month, the crop
made rapid advancement, and too rank
growth is very ganerally reported from
the central valleys, Oklahoma, and Texas.
In the early sown the Hessian fly has APP
peared extensively, but this pest has not
affected the late sowing, which constitutes
much the greater part of the total acreage.
In Texas some fields Of the early sown
are from twelve to eighteen inches high,
and are liable to injury from cold. On
the North Pacific Coast the weather has
been unfavorable for seeding.

Oil On Eastern Branch.

The presence of skim of oil on the
surface of the Eastern Branch, between
Riverdale and Hyattsville, has given rise
to much comment, and various opinions
concerning the source of the fluid have
been advanced. About ten days since a
collision occurred on the Baltimore and
Potomac Railway at Lanham's Station,
four miles from Riverdale. and two i'm
mense tanks filed with oil were wrecked
and several thousand gallons of oil flow
ed over the adjoining territory. Many
are Of the opinion that the wreck is the
source Of the recent discoveries.
. Mr.. B. D. Stephen, in the rear of whose
house, near Riverdale, we'll is alleged to
have been tapped, states that he is con-
vinced that he struck oil. He declares
that it does not come from the banks OF
the stream as rapidly as it did few days
since, but he feels certain that the fluid
has been absorbed by the adjacent soil,
and that it only requires further develop,
ment in order to disclose rich oil flow.

The Washington Post" of Monday
gave an account of the formal installation
of the Rev. c. Ernest Smith, D. D., ID. G.
L., as rector of St. Thomas P. E. Church
in Washington on Sunday last DR..
Smith was at one time the rector of St.
Paurs Parish in this county. The Post
says:
The ritual for the installation of new
pastor i'll the Episcopal Church was recit-
ed in full, the Right Rev. Henry Yates
Satterlee, bishop of Washington, presid-
ing, and the Rev. J. A. Aspinwall, D. D.,
former rector of the church, assisting.
Special music was sung by the choir and
a farewell sermon was preached by DR..
Aspinwall.
The church was crowded when the faint
strains of the professional from the YES
try announced that the service was about
to begin. The swell Of voices grew gradu-
ally louder, and the choir emerged from
the vestry and marched slowly to its place
behind the chancel rail. Following the
choir came Bishop Satterlee, the Rev. DR..
Smith, the Rev. DR.. Aspiuwall, and the
Immediately after the professional
special chant by Woodward was sung,
and the regular service began. Parker's
TIE Deum followed the reading Of the
psalm and the first lesson. and the Bene-
dictus by the same composer was sung at
the conclusion of the regular morning
prayer. The ceremony of installation
began Immediately after morning prayer,
Bishop Satterlee conducting the service.
The Bible, the Prayer Book, and the can
ons of the Office had been previously
placed on the altar. Bishop Satterlec
read the letter of institution, by which the
new rector was empowered to take charge
of the church. and the lay officers Of the
parish were assembled in front of the
altar. The senior warden of the church
presented DR.. Smith with the keys of the
sanctuary, repeating the words OF the
ritual provided in such cases. Bishop
Satterlee then invested the new rector
with the tokens of office. DR.. Smith wore
the usual episcopate gown, and in addi-
ton had on the insignia of his two de-
grees as doctor of divinity and doctor of
civil law.
AT the conclusion of the installation
ceremony, DR.. Aspinwall preached the
sermon. He spoke briefly of his many
years service in the church, and particu-
larly of his work during the time he had
been rector of St. Thomas. He appealed
to his hearers to deal kindly with their
new rector, and advised the latter that
the congregation was his flock and that
he should so conduct himself that his
words to them would be as law. The
sermon was short and forceful.
DIR C. Ernest Smith. the new rector,
has been in charge of the service at the
church for several weeks. He comes to
this city from Baltimore, where he gain
ed reputation throughout the diocese of
Maryland as pulpit orator while rector
of the Church of St. Mlchaels and All
Angels. DR.. Smith is man of great in
tellectual force, and his sermons seem to
be preached to his parishioners individ
ually. His words are we'll chosen, his
diction is simple, and he is without man
nerisms."
