JONES REASS[RTS
HIS WHEAT FIGURES
Says Shorts VIII Be Sorry
When Thresher's Taie
is Tod

September wheat closed at / * cents
higher yesterday than ii did Wednes-
day, the closing figures being S1.GS g,
as against s1.06
There was a bull sentiment from the
time the market opened and While
there was considerable selling at the
opening, all the wheat offered WAS TAX
en- and there seemed to be an opinion
that a turn in wheat was at hand and
the prospects were for higher prices
rather than a further drop.
One of the most potent influences
was the report Of a number Of grain
men who have spent some two weeks
in the Canadian Northwest. They re-
ported that the yield would be less
than last year, and they were support
ed by reports from Manitoba to the
effect that the harvest was under way,
but the yield would be less than eX-
pected.
The opening was lower than the close
Wednesday, but the market soon be-
came buoyant and at one time Sep
tember wheat touched S1.10As. but 1t
did not remain at this figure for long.
Cool temperatures are reported
throughout the Northwest, and, al
though frosts are not predicted. the
grain trade is willing to believe re-
ports of nipping.
Short Crop in Manitoba
H V. Jones returned yesterday from
a two weeks tour of the Canadian
Northwest and he announces that the
maximum crop of Manitoba and the
territories will not exceed 42,000,000
bushels, as against 5S,O00,O00 bushels
last year. although earlier in the sea-
son a yield of 70,000,000 bushels was
predicted.
Manitoba is the greatest sufferer.
but Mr.. Jones declared it is not the
fault of the land, for fully as fertile
localities in the Dakotas have been
affected by the rust.
Late wheat is being cut green, and
as a result will be light and will not
grade high. 1t is cut now to protect
it from the rust which threatens it.
Mr.. Jones asserts that those persons
who have questioned the estimates
made by himself and others will re-
ceive a rude awakening when the tale
of the thresher is told.
December closed at $1.07%, against
s1661s Wednesday, and May closed at
$1.O91s, against $1.075s Wednesday.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-AS q result
of the publication of the fact that a
suit for limited divorce had been in
stituted by Mrs. Annie Cross against
her husband, Stephen Cross, both be-
ing wealthy residents of West Ches-
ter, reconciliation has been effected
!. between the couple and with check
+ for S25,000 in their pockets, gift from
wealthy uncle, they are now enjoy
ing a; 5Seond honeymoon.
Mr. and Rtrs. Cross were married in
, 6roekfyn inslSS6. There was one child.
Z daughter who died year and a
half ago, and following that their do
mesticS relations became badly strain
: ed. Mr. Gross, having plenty of mon
eg and leisure. devoted himself to
angling and was away from home a
geats deal. The fondness Of Mr.. Cross
for fishing and his absence from home
were disapproved by Mrs. Cross. but
the climax was not reached until last
June, when Mr.. Cross built. a house
boat and announced his intention of
spending the summer aboard the craft
and there pursuing his fayorite sport.
Mrs. Cross Takes Leave
much vigor Her husband was in
sistent. After a quarrel, in which Mrs.
Cross declared that her husband at
tempted to strangle her, she left hin,
in sole possession of their beautiful
home in West Chester, and coming to
this city took up her abode with a
married sister.
The next move on the part of Mrs
Cross was to retain George Robinson,
of No. 80 Nassau street, to institute
suit against her husband for linn
tied divorce. Mr.. Cross retained Henry
C. Henderson to defend the suit, and a
stipulation was entered into between
counsel whereby the time in which Mr..
Cross was to file his answer was ex-
tended to Aug. IS.

heir of Mitchell Valentine, an aged res
ident of West Chester. whose fortune
is estimated at from SIS, ,000. 600 to $780,
100000, and he is great favorite OF
the old man.
It is one of Mr.. Valentines habits to
read the papers every morning. When
he came to the story of the suit
: brought against his nephew Stephen,
by Mrs. Cross, he read it through twice
with great deliberation.
Rich Uncle lntervenes
The following afternoon Mr.. Robin
son was surprised to receive visit
from his client, Mrs. Cross, who is
good looking woman of education and
refinement She was accompanied by
the aged Mr.. Valentine and her nus
band. both of whom she introduced to
her lawyer.
.I have brought these two young
people here began the octogenarlan.
''to see if some arrangement cannot be
made looking to a reconciliation be-
tween them. Divorces are darnatIon
things and don't believe in 'em.
We'll, now, if these young people
will come together. kiss and make up
and drop these burned proceedings l
viii make them a present of $4,000
right on the spot, and they can go on
and enioy a second honeymoon.
There was a brief consultation be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. Cross. with the re-
suit that they accepted the proposition,
when the old man drew check forth
with. The formal order disseminating
the suit will be fled with the county
clerk this morning.

in the end, and money changed hands
on the outcome. Clancy lived five
years after his marriage. but no man

WOMAN'S BIG GOAT RANCH.
Her F1ocks of Angorns Richly Re-
ward an Energetic and Perser-
Ing Widow for Their Care

Mrs. Armour, in Sierra county, y.
NJ, owns herd of more than $4,000
Angora goats. from which she is
making $4,000 profit a. year. Her
Columbia Pascha" is the most val
liable Angora in America. and worth
$1,000. says the Chicago Tribune.
In 1899 she was left "A widow. pen
niless and with nine small children
dependent on her for support. The
ranchmen and miners took compass
sion on the destitute family and con-
tributed small sum for their i'm
mediate relief.
Then she spluckily east about for
some means of earning living. so
that she might not be burden on
the generosity of her friends. BY
chance there drifted into camp "a
ranchman with IA herd of 90 Angora
goats for sale. Nobody cared to buy
them, for it was thought there was
more money in cattle raising. With
genuine intuition Mrs. Armour
looked at their silken coats and
knew that they would be valuable.
But she hadI amy money and
'idn't want to ! brow. SO she made
"A proposition 10 take a small flock
of the goats. tend them and care for
them and breed them, and at the
end Of the year divide the profits
with the owner. The proposition
was accepted. She took her goats
and her children. and went up on the
mountain side. 5000 feet above the
sea level, where the scrub oaks grow
in profusion. Thus she secured the
necessary fodder, and as for shelter
the goats needed none. She located
"A claim, built herself a ranch. and
settled down to work At the end
of "a year her success was such that
she had money enough to buy "a
flock of her own and start out in
dependently. -am
SSince that time each year has
added to her prosperity She now
employs 20 goatherds to care for her
floclss. The greatest precaution is
required to protect the goats from
the inroads of the mountain lions.
or cougars, which are SO numerous
that the ranchmen have to organize
hunts to get rid of them.
Through her industry and perse-
rerance and pluck. Mrs. Armour has
made herself wealthy. She has sent
her eldest son to college. where he
is now studying law, and her four
other children attend school in
Kingston.
