The Farmers Review Receives Re ports from Ten States Reports have been received from the -correspondents of the Farmers Review in ten States on the condition of winter wheat and winter rye In Illinois winter wheat is in fair shape but has been injured extensively by tihe late thawing and freezing weather The percentage of damage runs all the way from 5 to 50 Fortunately there are not jnany reports of the latter amount or near It A like condition exists in Indiana tn Ohio the loss is still greater and the present condition is below fair Michi gan reports great loss but the condition taking the State as a whole is a little above fair In Kentucky the crop is in a very uneven condition some counties having good prospects but others ex pecting little more than half a crop The loss from freezing and thawing does not eem to be much of a factor Missouri -also has an uneven crop nt this time and the conditions have been various Some -counties have a good start and no freez ing and thawing has taken place Other countries have lost naif of the present stand from this cause alone We may summarize by saying that the loss for the State has been considerable and that the present conditions of the crop are fair In Kansas and Nebraska the crop Ss in fair to good condition Little loss Ihas been experienced from freezing and thawing in fact some of the correspond ents complain that they have not had as tmuch cold as they would like In Iowa there has been small loss on account of recent changes of weather and the crop In the State is in fair condition In Wis consin the crop is reported quite poor and the recent losses have been great Winter rye is in much better condition than wheat and is generally reported at an average of fair to good A medal of honor has been awarded to Brevet Maj Gen William J Sewell United States Senator from New Jersey toy direction of the President for con spicuous gallantry at the battle of Chan cellorsville May 5 1SG3 Although a colenel aril badly wounded this officer now Senator assumed command of a brigade of troops and remained through out the battle on the field H H Willey ex justice of the peace and a well known citizen of Bertrand Neh was publicly whipped by a mob of women on the streets He was ac cused of making an improper proposal to a young girl Willeys family witnessed lis punishment The Treasury Department has evidence pending to show that the steamship Com modore which recently cleared from the port of Charleston S C witih arms and ammunition did not lose her cargo in a storm at sea as reported by her captain but landed it on the coast of Cuba LEOS MANNER OF SPEECH Deliberate but Unhesitating and His Voice Has Great Power The stiff mannerism of the patri archal system which survived untij recently from early Roman times gave him that somewhat formal tone and authoritative manner which are so char acteristic of his conversation in private His deliberate but unhesitating speech makes one think of Goethes without haste without rest Yet his formality is not of the slow and circumlocutory sort on the contrary it is energetically precise und helps rather than mars the sound casting of each idea The form ality of strong people belongs to them naturally and is the expression of cer tain unchanging persistence that of the weak is mostly assumed for the sake of magnifying the little strength they have The Popes voice is as distinctly in dividual as his manner of speaking It is not deep nor very full but consid ering his great age it is wonderfully clear and ringing and it has a certain incisiveness of sound which gives it great carrying power Pius IX had as Deautif ul a voice both in compass and in richness of quality as any barytone singer in the Sistine choir No one who ever heard him intone the Te Deum in St Peters in the old days can for get the grand tones He was gifted in many ways with great physical beau ty with a rare charm of manner and with a most witty humor and in char acter he was one of the most kind hearted and gentle men of his day as he was also one of the least initiative so to say while endowed with the high moral courage of boundless patience and political humility Leo XIII need speak but half a dozen words with one glance of his flashing eyes and one gesture of his noticeably long arm and transparently thin hand and the moral distance be tween his predecessor and himself is at once apparent There is strength still in every movement there is deliberate decision in every tone there is lofty in dependence in every look Behind these there may be kindliness charity and all the milder gifts of virtue but what is apparent is a sort of energetic man ly trenchancy which forces admiration rather than awakens sympathy Cen tury Arousing the Hornets Australian hornets have an evil repu tationas indeed is true of hornets generally and in Opals and Agates Mr Nehemiah Bartley relates a laugh able incident in which they played a conspicuous part There was in Queensland a land-surveyor a man of dignified demeano very severe with the men in his eir ploy before whom he never unbent in the slightest degree It happened one day when work was over that one of the men was taking home a tomahawk which had been used for marking trees and as he passed along he struck it carefully into a decayed stump intend ing to leave it there till the next day An instant later out came a swarm or hornets and the man finding them about his head made a bee line for the nearest water hole into which he tlunged and squatted Not long after this his mate came along the same path The inhabitants of the stump had retired from the scene The man saw the tomahawk and thinking it might fall from the -stump ramoved it and struck it in a littlo deeper Out rushed the hornets in a body Te man brushed and struck at the jailing host but was worsted and forced to make a wild stampede for the water hole where he found his companion still immersed The two sufferers compared sorrowful notes as they daubed mud over their wounds Following in their wake along the path came the serious boss himself He saw the tomahawk and thinking that the workmen had been careless to leave it there to rust in the dews of night he wrenched it from the stump to take home He likewise was waited upon by an army of angry insects and like his workmen was compelled to take refuge in the water What stings those insects have he Tied Yes sir we know they do was the response and then all three men broke into a hearty laugh over the misadven ture and their ridiculous appearance in the water to their necks It was the first time the boss had indulged in a bit of pleasantry with his men but it was not the last Historical Records of Maryland In speaking of the records of the Provincial Court of the Province of Maryland from 1G57 to the revolution now preserved in Anne Arundel Coun ty the Baltimore Sun says The his torical value of these old records is inestimable It is believed that no other State in the Union has such rec ords of family history showing the manner of living among the peorle of the colony as far bacic as 250 yc ais ago In the wills families can be traced back from father to son for a century The court record books containing in ventories of personal estates make a complete exhibit of the character of household furniture kitchen imple ments farm utensils etc used by the early settlers and their descendants during the first century and a half of the colony From these things we can read much of the habits and customs of the people Ivory Most of the ivory that comes to the market is dead that is ivory taken from animals long since dead and which has been stored away by the natives for years There is no dangei in Africa of the supply being exhaust ed for several generations at least If there are souls in trees the cork tree must have a cork sole AN ASYLUM SCANDAL CHARGES OF IMMORALITY NEG LECT AND BRUTALITY Against Superintendent Mackay by Ex Employes Specifications Filed with the Governor to Baclc Up the Accusations Scandal at Norfolk Asylum Charges have been preferred with Gov Holcomb against Dr J H Mackay superintendent of the Norfolk Hospital for the Insane They have been on file several days but the Governor declines to give them in full to the press until Dr Mackay has filed his answer The charges embracing some thirty pages of type written matter are sigued by Misses Mae Hartranft Eunice Buchanan Ella Cook Nellie Filzgerald and Lucy OBanlon The doctor has written a letter explana tory of some of the charges a copy of which has been forwarded to the Gov ernor The preamble to the long list of specifi cations recites that the doctor has been guilty of official misconduct and willful neglect of duty and of being guilty of immoral conduct and speech of inflicting on the patients under his charge and con trol unusual cruel and barbarous punish ment of repeatedly and for long inter vals of time willfully and wantonly neg lecting his duties as superintendent There are some forty specifications but many of them are mere repetitions or the same charges in different words One of the specifications state that on July 18 1895 a Mrs Grimes a violent patient was struck by the doctor with a leather strap some fourteen or sixteen inches long so severely that that she bled from the hands The end is not yet WANT THE CANTEEN CLOSED Crawford After the Fort Robinson Liquor Sellers Proceedings have been begun at Craw ford which will determine the life or death of the canteen liquor system For more than a year the soldiers and officers at Fort Robinson have maintained a can teen from which there is sold to soldiers and citizens about 6000 worth of liquor a month The business men of Crawford have grown tired of this competition and figure that if they can prevent the sale of whisky and beer at Fort Robinson the soldiers will come to town and spend their money in Crawford Warrants have been issued and delivered to the sheriff directing the arrest of the men in charge of the canteen and the seizure of all the liquor in sight The law provides that the liquor vessels shall be destroyed This traffic has been going on for years and few if any were aware that it was in violation of the laws of the state as they supposed that the military reservation was under the jurisdiction of the United States and that offense committed thereon would be tried by the United States courts but it seems that when Forts Rob inson and Niobrara were added to the Government by Nebraska it reserved the right to govern the sale of liquor on the 3ame The arrests will be made by the sheriff of Dawes County of Lieuts Ladd 2nd Bratton who are the men in charge of the canteen Indians Return From Washington The delegates from the Pine Ridge Reservation to Washington returned some lays ago and in a few days another big powwow will be held that George Far ihunder Little Wound Kicking Bear and Captain Thunder Bear the delegates

elated over their recep tion by the great father Killed by a Street Car A distressing accident occurred at Lin coln a day or two ago resulting in the in stant death of Liza youngest daughter of Lieut

The gold and diamonds of South Afri t ca have already attracted a very fair1 proportion of the thieves of the world to that favored region Some very fine hauls have been made and others all but made Decidedly the most tional attempt was one made a few years ago on the diamond train To reach Cape Town from Kimberly used to take three days or at least two days and three nights The diamonds used to be carried in a safe in a postofficei sorting van Some expert thieves foundj out where the safe always stood in the van and under that spot beneath the bottom of the van rigged up a plat form of rope and plank whereupon a man could lie and work with a drill as the train sped on its way It is at lonely journey with hours and hours between stations The thief enduredj his uncomfortable position beneath the moving train long enough to bore a cir clet of holes in the bottom of the iron safe having first cut a- piece out of the bottom of the van His plan was to complete the circle in this tedious way so as to remove a piece of safe bottom and leave a hole large enough for the insertion of an arm the removal of a bag and the capture of a fortune in dia monds Unfortunately for him he was1 either disturbed or got tired or he dropped off his plank At any rate he did not cut out the piece of metal con i sequently he did not reap -his glittering reward He escaped The postofficej people in the van heard nothing of the- drill which was probably silent save When there was the clatter racket of the wheels to drown its notes When the platform and pierced safe were discov ered the thief had gone and left no clew beyond his handiwork which never proved sufficient for tracing him Railway Review Polite Policeman The Boston Herald tells of a brave policeman who is especially attentive to the wants of little women who want to cross the streets It is seldom thatt kindness makes an error but in this case the policemans good natured help fulness was mistaken The pleasant weather had brought out a crowd of shoppers and among them was a pretty little woman who seemed to be in terror of moving across the street She stood on the corner and gazed at the passing throng unmindful of the many admiring glances cast at her A car passed the crossing and was close ly followed by another Then she ran into the street and the policeman saw her just as she left the sidewalk The second car was coming along under right of way when the officer raised his hand and seized the little woman by the arm She was so slight that he almost lifted her out of the way of the car and dashed in front of a team on the other side landing her safely on the opposite sidewalk There youre all right he said as she stepped up on the walk and turned to face him She shook out her skirts straightened her hat and smiled sweetly at him as she replied Yes Im all right but I ran out to take that first car I didnt want to come over her Now will you please escort me across Bough on the
