POOR WEATHER FOR CROPS.
Too Dry In Some States, Too Cold In
Others-COttOn Going Right Ahead.
HnHUaNar

Too Dry In Some States, Too Cola l.,
Others-Cotton Going Right Ahead
However.
Washington, April 22.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con.
ditions is as follows:
The week ending April q was warm
er than the average in the Pacific
coast and Rocky Mountain regions in
the Missouri valley and the northern
districts to the eastward; it was too
cool in the Middle Atlantic and South
ern states, and decidedly dry over the
greater part of the Central valleys and
Middle Atlantic states. The latter part
of the week was marked by abnormallv
high temperatures in Kansas and Ne
braska intensifying the drought con-
ditions in those states. The general
weather conditions, although not con-
ducive to rapid advance of vegetation
were very favorable for farming oper-
atoms in nearly all parts of the coun-
try.
The progress of corn planting has
been rather slow, except in Missouri
and the Southern states, this work be-
ing about finished in the central and
the west gulf districts.
Winter wheat has continued TO
make slow growth, and on the whole
is in less promising condition in the
prominent winter wheat states of the
central valleys than at the close of
the previous week. Moisture and mild
er temperatures are generally needed
for this crop throughout these dis
tricts and also in the Middle At
lantic States.
In the Missouri and Central Missis-
sippi Valley states oats are making
slow growth and are much in need of
rain and warm weather. In the South
ern States a very general improve
ment is indicated
Very good progress has been made
in cotton planting, except in portions
of Tennessee, the Carolinas and Flor
ida, and planting is nearing compile
ton over the southern portion of the
cotton belt. Over most of Texas cot
ton is up to satisfactory stands and
blowing and chopping are we'll under
way.
In Maryland and Tennessee tobac-
co plants are doing well, but in Vir-
ginia, the Carolinas and Kentucky
they are small and in places irregular.
Some transplanting has been done in
South Carolina.

Interesting to Those Who Visit New
York.

There is perhaps no city in the world
great variety of hotels as can the
American metropolis, and it is doubt
full if the hotel standard is so high in
any other city on earth, yet to the
family or individual visiting New York
occasionally, and not being familiar
with it's hotels, there is no question
more perplexing or more important
than the choice of a hotel at which
he or they are to make their headquar-
tiers.
Those to whom expense is not a con-
sideration can, of course, go to any of
the half dozen ultra fashionable houses
with the certainty of being we'll cared
for; to the individual or party, how
ever, who have to take into consider
alton the expense, and who are yet de-
sirous of locating in a hotel where
they will be not only well looked after,
but also surrounded byfa good social
atmosphere, the question of choice be-
comes a perplexing one.
Among the modern hotel structures
of the metropolis there is probably none
better known nor any that enjoys a
larger patronage of the well-to-do and
exclusive class from all parts of the
country than does the Hotel Empire
This house, which was opened in 1885,
is absolutely fire-proof and modern in
every particular. 1t is located at Broad
way and Sixty-third street, and is ac-
cessible not only from all steamship
and railroad terminals, but is also
within from eight to ten minutes Of
the shopping and amusement centers.
On arriving at the Grand Central
Depot the traveller can step into a
Broadway and Seventh avenue electric
car which will take him to the entrance
of the Empire in less than seven min
utes. If arriving by the Fall River
Line steamers he can take the Ninth
Avenue Elevated Railroad to Fifty
ninth street, which is within one min
ute's walk. of the hotel, or he can take
a car at the boat landing and trans
fer up Broadway on the Broadway and
Columbus avenue cars, and reach the
hotel in twelve minutes.
The Empire is conducted on the Eu-
ropean plan exclusively; its cuisine
and service is equal to that of the high
est-priced hotels, and yet its rates for
rooms, and it's restaurant prices are
very moderate. This hotel issues a
booklet which is descriptive of the
house, and is also a valuable guide to
people visiting the city for shopping
purposes or for amusement, and we
would advise any of our readers con-
templating a visit to New York to send
a postal to the Hotel Empire, Broad
way and Sixty-third street, for their
booklet which will be sent free of
charge.

A FAVORABLE CROP WEEK.
Farmers Dehindhand, but Are Push
ing for All They Are Worth.

Farmers Dehindhand, but Are Push
ing for All They Are Worth.
Atlanta, April 22.-Following is the
Georgia crop report summary for the
week ending Monday night:
The general weather conditions of
the week were regarded as favorable
to crop interests, although the daily
temperatures were steadily below the
normal, and the need of warm growing
weather is felt. Moderate to heavy
showers occurred on the 18th. but aside
from this the precipitation of the week
was mostly light and scattered and
caused no particular Interruptions to
farmers. Planting of crops began in
earnest in the northern section, yet
much of the corn and cotton remains
implanted in this district and ground
is unbroken in some of the far north
ern counties.
Cotton planting>is still backward in
the middle counties, but good progress
is being made in the more favored To-
calities.
The same condition obtains in the
southern section, and reports indicate
that nowhere is the planting of this
crop fully completed. The plants are
coming up, however. in numerous
southern counties. and generally good
stands are reported. Corn planting
is about finished in the southern half
of the state, and is coming up with
variable stands, cultivation is in prog
ress in few counties. Wheat, oats
and rye show a general improvement
everywhere. The sugar cane and rice
crops are not coming up as favorably
as could be desired. Stubble sugar
cane was largely killed during the cold
weather and planted cane is slow in
showing. Frequent rains in the rice
districts have interfered with Iield
work. The prospects for an abundant
fruit crop continue excellent. Very
little complaint of shedding is made,
but pears are reported to be injured
by blight in some sections.

Waycross. Ga, April 22.-This morn
ing about IL o'clock a horse driven by
James Bucking, a young white man,

effort to leave the wagon. Just in
front of the store of Hardy Bros, as
the horse turned around the corner,
leaving the paved street, Mr.. Bucking
