at this period of the year have the weather In their favor.
 The weekly weather and crop reviews of The Atlanta Constitution and The Memphis Appeal showed Improvement compared with reports of last Monday, but the summary of The New Orleans Pfcayune on the outlook of the Mis- sissippi Valley--that is. In Louisiana and Mississippi were not so promising, and as for Texas, Houston made very poor report, stating that the past week had been a very poor one for the cot ton crop In that State, showers in South and East Texas, torrential rains in Western Texas and terrific down pour at the close of the week In the northern part of the State being com- piained of as having done damage to the crop.
 weevils are reported more numerous and destructive, and in conclusion. the remark Is made that there was a tinio a few years since when the cotton spec ulators dwelt at length upon the top. crop of Texas, adding that there isn't any such this reason.
 That the plant makes now and later on will go to feed the weevils and to breed future generations.
 There is food for thought in this citation, as Texas has yet to make n larger crop than in 1900. the increase in acreage notwithstanding
 Yours truly

A FLY FoILED a RoBBER.
Awakened Kansas Woman in Time to
Save Her Money.

Colorado Springs. Aug. pa fly that
buzzed in her berth in a Pullman car
waking her daughter, is probably all
that saved Mrs. Mary Lewellyn, a
pretty widow of Cedarville. Kan, from
being robbed while she slept.
Mrs. Lewellyn's experience was novel
as well as exciting. She trusted to her
stocking to conceal the roll of bills she
carried, and evidently the thief who at
tempted to steal the money knew where
1t was concealed. He approached tbs
woman's berth with scissors in hand
and had ripped the stocking and was in
the act of getting awey with the money
when Miss Lewellyn, who slept with
her mother, awoke and frightened him
away.
The strange feature of the occurrence
is that a fly aroused Miss LeweIlyn
from her SAUNDERS and was the innocent
cause of the thief being foiled in his
plans. The man got away without his
identity being detected
Mrs. Lewellyn and DAT ghter are
spending the summer at Manitou. Mrs.
Lewellyn refused to discuss the incl
dent or tell how much the roll of bills
amounted to-

ABOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Native Sons Propose to Start a So
ciety Here and Tell Why.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Topeka now has several state socie-
ties or clubs. Steps have been taken to
add another-a Granite state, or New
Hampshire society.
II is doubtful if there il another state
in the union in proportion to its popula-
ton that has a more brilliant record
as an intellectual feeder for other states.
old and new The New Hampshire So
cietv will be one with a purpose. It will
interest itself in state history. In the
biography of its sons and daughters as
well as cultivate the amenities Of social
life
What has New Hampshire done2 It
has furnished material for governors
Of Maine. Vermont, New York, Ohio, as
states, and Michigan and Dakota as ter
It has furnished one president of the
United States and one vice president
about a score of cabinet ministers and
half as many representatives to the
highest courts of the world
It has furnished United States sen
ators for nearly half the states in the
union
It has furnished soldiers for
our wars from Stark and Sullivan
and John A. Dix to Gen. Leonard A.
Wood of Cuban and Philippine fame.
1t has given US Webster the nation
greatest orator and statesman, and
Horace Greeley, our greatest editor.
It has given us Salmon P Chase
statesman. financier and jurist; William
Pitt Fessenden, Lewis Cass ana Zacn-
ariah Chandler.
New Hampshire gave to Vice Presi
dent Levi ?. Morton a wife, as well as
one to Admiral Dewey.
In literature it gave to the world
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Judge H. A.
Shute. Charles Carleton Coffin. Richard
Burleigh Kimball. Celia Thaxter. Sarah
J. Hale, for fifty years editor Of Godey's
Lady's Book, and scores of other au-
thOrs.
It gave to Illinois and to Christianity
Bishop Philander Chase. as well as
Hosea Ballou to the Universalists, and
Henry ". Bellows. preacher. traveller
and author, to the Unitarians-
It gave the world Joseph E. Worcester,
author Of the great dictionary bearing
his name. Francis S. Drake who pre-
pared 10000 sketches for his Biographi-
cal Dictionary, and Horatio Hale the
scholarly ethnologist, as well as Henry
F. Durant, the founder Of Wellesley
college.
The first cut nails were made in New
Hampshire in 1875, under the then new
patent laws Previous to that they were
hammered out by blacksmiths at odd
times.
The hrst artificial ice was made in
New Hampshire.
The first electric fire alarm was made

LEEDS IS ARCHOEACON.
Rector of Church in ireland Given
Kansas Church Position.

The Very Rev. J. z. H. Leeds, for
merely rector of Horetovn, Wexford,
Ireland, has arrived in Topeka to &C
cept the position Of archdeacon for
the eastern Kansas diocese, Episco-
pal. The position was rendered him
by Bishop Millspaugh, of the Kansas
diocese.
The new archbishop will assume his
duties in short time and is at pres
ent stopping at 822 Topeka avenue
The Episcopalians of the Kansas
diocese may rest assured that they
have acquired a valuable and highly
estimable man for the position The
valuation of Rev Mr.. Leeds may be
judged from an item which appeared
in THE People, a Wexford, Ireland,
publication, July %. The editor of
the paper which published this lament
for his change of location is a Roman
Catholic:
's1he Rev. Dean Leeds.
There is much regret among his
parishioners in Horetown and many
friends throughout the country,
caused by the impending departure of
the Very Rev. J. E. H. Leeds rector
of Horetown, who, by his zeal in the
discharge of the duties of his sacred
Office, ana his unvarying kindness
and observation-disclosures, has endeared
himself to everyone who knew him.
Mr. Leeds went to America in 1884,
and returned to 1899, when he ac
the parishioners of which place pre-
scented him with an address and
handsome gift on his appointment to
Horetown parish in January, 1902
Mr.. Leeds now goes back to America
as archdeacon of Kansas this being
the second occasion on which the
bishops of that state offered him the
office MI. Leeds will be accom-
panied by Miss Leeds, who has been
organist of Horetown church. and by
his aunt, Mrs Fitzgerald, who has
acted as district secretary for the Y
w c. A. and she is very much re-
GREETED by the members of her differ
ent Bible classes in New Ross and in
