Crop Reports.

Memphis, Tenn, August 6-The
Commercial Appeal tomorrow will
say: Crop reports are less uniformly
favorable than heretofore. Excessive
rain has fallen in the Mississippi VAL
ley States and in Oklahoma, while
North and South Carolina have SUI
fered from drought and shedding. Boil
worms, army worms and caterpillars
have appeared in many counties in
Texas, Mississippi and Alabama, and
the excess of moisture for the season
makes some of the planters fear rust
and blight and an excess of plant
growth. The second condition makes
the condition less favorable. but the
outlook Is still good, as the damage
has rot been heavy.
The plant has grown large and
stands very healthy in all States save
the droughty districts of the two Car
olinas and a little portion of Northern
Texas. 1t has taken fruit well. and If
the present crop set on the stalk is
matured the yield Will be large one.
Picking has been delayed by the
abundant moisture supply. and the
crop will not move as early as expected
in the Central and Eastern States for
this reason.
Boil weevil damage has been very

OF pots. Kettles. dishes, canned goods
and cigars. Coffin was taking an lin
Ventory' OF the things to be turned
over to his successor.
Yesterday Raymond Martyn, the new
restaurateur. made his triumphal entry
into the Capitol. Comn whispered a
few words of advice. Mr.. Martyr was
doubtless informed that the congress
sional appetite is tickle thing, and
that one must always be on guard.
The roasts must be Drowned just right /;
the coffee must be weak for that man
and strong for the other. and let no
waiter forget that he is waiting upon
a law maker.
Martyr bravely assumed the task.
He has met a few statesmen in his
time, having conducted a restaurant
on Ninth street, and he hoped to get
along. Thereupon Martyr called up
the markets and ordered the best.
1t is said that politics has had moth
ing to do with the change in the House
restaurant, although Coffin mas an idea
that he would have held on had the
Grand Old Party continued In power.
But the Democrats came in, and one
of the first things Champ Clark did
was to place the restaurant under the
Jurisdiction OF the Committee on Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds. The new
Speaker had troubles of his own with

Thirteen bidders--a most unlucky
number for twelve of them-came be-

to strive to please. Coffin was among
the lot and urged his fourteen years
experience as reason No / why he
should continue to satisfy the congress

The committee delved into the sub
ject OF gastronomics as il it were

walked out and Martyr walked in.
Martyr says he will make no drastic
changes in the restaurant <'r the pres
