Because Of the poor mode OF communi-

Island, it has been practically impossible
10 ascertain from any Of the six sur
vivOrs OF the steamer just how many
life boats were lowered over the side OF
the Hestia. but It is believed here that
only two left the craft, and that they
are the ones cast up on the Nova Scotia
shore to-day, just across the Bay OF
Fundy from Grand Manan.
II was also learned to-day over the one
telegraph line that the Hestia was
wrecked at l o'clock Monday morning,
instead OF the same hour Tuesday morn

her spent more than twenty-four hours
lashed in the rigging.

somewhat Of reproach to the men OF

for a monument concentrating the
services and sacrifices of the women OF
the south to the Confederacy. In South
Carolina the men have subscribed $2O.OOO
for the monument and the legislature mas
given state aid. No woman is allowed to
contribute to the South Carolina collec-
ton. In other states, however. the line
has heretofore not been SO strictly
drawn, but in the future the South Caro-
linian example Is likely to have the force

Harry Henson. the young colored man
who was shot In the back at New York

that Henson was in company with three
or four friends when a stranger APP

for a match.
When he did not get one Henson be-
gan punching the stranger Thereupon
the stranger drew a revolver and fired

NICE WORDS, BUT DIFFICULT.
Payne Tariff Bill Contains Most Per-
picking Jaw-Breakers.

How would you like to be compelled to
correctly pronounce diamidostilbendisul-
foacid with severe punishment as the pen
atty of failure?
Well this nice little word is found in
paragraph 536 of the Payne tariff law,
and it has already dislocated the jaws OF
several tariff experts Of the Treasury who
attempted to pronounce 1t.
The word is the longest Of the Payne
tariff. nothing else comparing with it ex-
cept amidonaphtolsulfoacid, which con-
tains twenty-five letters, as against twen-
ty-four in the other. There is Just one
other word Of twenty-one letters that also
gives some trouble to customs experts.
1t is naphtylaminsulfoacid
All three words occur in the Same nar,
graph. which is devoted to chemicals and
drugs. The worst part of 1t is that ali
three are allowed to come into the United
States free of duty, having to pay moth
ing as a penalty.

FOREIGN CROPS GOOD.
Conditions Indicate That European
Harvest Exceeds Expectations.

Conditions of the crops in foreign coun-
tries, as reported to the Department OF
Agriculture, indicate that the European
harvest has generally surpassed expecta-
tions. In Roumania alone have. the gen.
eral results. because of sever drought
in July, fallen below the pre-harvest es-
Inmates. The wheat crop of Hungary
has also failed to give even the moderate
results looked for a month ago, but the
other crops in that country have exceeded
estimates.
The latest forecast of the probable yield
in Russia indicates generally good har-
vest. Harvest weather was favorable,
and supplies are said to be coming to
market more rapidly than usual.
From Argentina comes the official an
nouncement that the reduction of the
wheat acreage on account Of the long
drought was less than anticipated. Re-
ports from India continue quite encour-
aging, while from all parts Of Australia
glowing statements of crops progress are
received.
