The announcement of the engage ment of J. Graham Phelps Stokes, the millionaire University Settlement worker of New York, and Rose Harriet Pastor has brought to light the story of a girls life, simple indeed. yet so heroic and aspiring that it must send a thrill of sympathy through the hearts of all women. It Is little to the credit of our time that but for the girIs pe- trothal to a millionaire nobody would have known the story. It appears to be the prospective marriage and not the girls noble life itself that arouses general interest. yet as an illustration of what a young woman or talent anu datermined will can, unaided, accom- plish in our republic that life shines like a star.

 Even so sane a people as the ancient Greeks came pretty near worshipping a stone-the "omphalos" or centre of the earth at Delphi. The Romans set up a stone of great consequence in Rome, but for purposes of measurement nor worship and so the London stone" of today Is used.

The Mule Has No Kick Coming

New York Sun.
 In 1895, ten years ago, by the Depart ment of Agriculture estimate. the value of the hogs in the United States was $220. .OO0.O 900 and of mules $11O.000, ,000 twice as much national wealth in hogs as in mules. This year the esti- mates are: Hogs. $2S3, ,0OO 900; mules, $251 ,O00. .O00.
 The American mule has gained rec ognition slowly. Garlands at county fairs. prizes at agricultural exhibits. and even blue ribbons at live stock shows have not advertised him. Mod est merit has won its own way.

Steel for Panama.

Boston Herald.
 The question Is being asked, whether the Panama Railroad. now owned and operated by our national Government, should purchase the steel rails which 1t needs for It's equipment at the low price quoted for such material for eX- port or at the high price asked of the domestic consumer and obtained owing to the protective tariff. Admittedly. the Government should conduct the road as economically as possible. and to do so it must purchase rails where it can make the best bargain. accept ing the cut given for export business: yes, demanding 1t. Admittedly, it may be argued this is unfair competition with the transcontinental lines that are obliged to pay the domestic price for their rails The competition, however, will be no keener than with the Cana dian roads, which have enjoyed the ad- vantage of purchasing steel rails in our market at lower prices than are quoted to American railways. Possibly these canal prices may prove an effective ob- feet lesson to our people of the cost of the tariff. We presume that if the high protectionists in Congress had foreseen this discussion they would have insisted that only material of American manufacture could be used on the canal, purchased in the Amer ican market, at high protective rates.

Criticisms Crush Oil Kings Wife.

Cleveland, O., Aug. l. - That the
MANY criticisms which have been
heaped on John D. Rockefeller recently
have undermined the health of his
wife, was asserted by a friend who
visited the Rockefeller home yesterday.
The visitor was astonished, he said, to
see the change that had come over
Mrs Rockefeller. She was looking i'll,
he said, and it was apparent that her
health was failing.
The criticisms, it is known, have sad
dened the life of Mrs. Rockefeller. A
gloom has settled about the household
in the last year, which nothing seems
able to dispel. The wife recently has
drawn more closely than ever the cir
Gle of friends about her, until today
only 9. few persons visit her.
1t was the hope of Rockefeller and
his wife, friends said, to leave behind
a name that would stand for every
thing that was best in the community.
Instead. the Standard Oil millionaire
finds himself criticised more severely
every day until he feels himself the
most abused man in America. None
of his benefactions seem to be able to
temper the denunciations which are
being hurled at him, and altho he feels
them keenly, it is said they fall on
Mrs. Rockefeller with double force
Nothing, the friends who visited hef
Yesterday said, seems to cheer her
and she walks melancholy figure in
her beautiful home.

corn crop promises to be big one all
over the country" said j. j. Nelson. Of
Marshall county, Iowa, who purchased
two car loads of feeders yesterday.
81 do not losk for very cheap corn next
year. Originally when there is large
crop of grain the price goes down, but
with corn this will not happen. The
reason for this is that there is no old
corn left anywhere. The crop the
past two years has been good in spots
only, and in many places it was very
light, which created a demand that
just about cleaned up all the corn in
the country. In Iowa which is the ban
ner corn state, there is no old corn left.
In former years cribs of corn could be
seen all over the country at any seas
on Of the year. but in riding over that
country now, there is an absence of
full corn cribs"

Summary of Conditions In Principal
Agricultural States.
Washington, Aug. Crop condi-
lions are summarized as follows in the
| weekly bulletin issued by the weather
| bureau today:
During the week ending July 81 the
Ohio valley and northern portions of
the middle Atlantic states and New
England experienced temperatures too
low for best results. but elsewhere
temperature conditions were favorable.

the Missouri valley, northern Texas
and portions of the lower Ohio valley
and east gulf coast districts, while rain
is needed in Georgia, portions of Flori-
da, northern Mississippi, northern 1lll-
nois, Ohio and northern New Jersey.
In the Ohio valley the growth of corn
has been somewhat checked by cool
weather, but elsewhere the principal
corn states this crop has made excel
lent progress. Turnout the Atlantic
coast districts a fine crop Is indicated.
Threshing of winter wheat has been
interrupted by wet weather in south
ern Illinois, portions Of Missouri
valley and middle Atlantic states, but
elsewhere this work is advanced sat
isfactorily. Winter wheat harvest is
finished. except small part of the
crop in Michigan and New York.
Spring wheat harvest is in progress in
Nebraska SOUTHERN portions of South
Dakota and Minnesota. This crop has
made favorable progress, no rust dam

tered fields in South Dakota, where
smut blight is also prevailing to some
extent. The late spring wheat was ma
terially damaged in Washington by
hot winds the preceding week but the
early crops escaped injury Harvest

average yield and quality. The oat
harvest progressed favorably and now
is becoming general in more northerly
states. With the exception of some

CASE BATTLES EXPERT.
New York Fever Suspect Demands Ad-
ditiona Tests.

New York. Aug. /. - One possible
case Of yellow fever. which has baffed
all tests for twenty-fou hours, is re-
ported at the detention hospital. This
man is Vincent Novo, a stoker on the
Seguranca. Two very doubtful cases
remained up to the very end OF the
twenty four blood tests which were
made on the ten members Of the Sc
gurancas crew immuned at the pest
house last Saturday. One Of this pair,
Thomas McGil, ships steward, was
declared free from faint of yellow fever
at the expiration of the time limit yes
terday, but Novo demanded additional
tests.

the Seguranca all except Novo are out
of danger.
The steamer Proteus. direct from fe-
ver-infected New Orleans, was declared
at quarantine yesterday to be abso-
lutely free from symptoms of yellow

no fever, have such fine record as
the Proteus with ninety one passeng-
ers and a crew of seventy-two men,
made under searching thermometer
tests yesterday.
AS an extreme precaution the Pro-
teus was held at quarantine until l
o'clock yesterday, the. hour when five

Five members of the crew of the
freight steamer Ell Sud, from Calves
ton, were removed from the steamer
