contains notices of over 125,000 places,with
recent and authent'c information respec
ting the countries, islands, rivers, moun

tion of the globe. The present edition is
revised and brought up to date. It con
tains XS94 pages, and every page is val
uable. The publishers say that in the
preparation of this edition, not only have
notices of a large number of new places
been now for the first time included In Its
pages—places that were unknown when
former editions were issued—but the con
tents of the entire volume have been
subjected to such a thorough revision as,
it Is believed, will easily maintain for-4t
the position which it has so long occu
pied. of being without a rival among
works of Its class in the English lan
guage. Especially has it been the care
of the editors, in the prosecution of their
labors, to embody in the work such re
cent information as has lately been ren
dered available by the publication of the
new census returns of our own and for
eign countries, and of other kindred
works, and to so arrange this informa
tion that It will be practically useful for
casual reference and convenient for
those who may desire to make a more
thorough acquaintance with the minutiae
of geographical facts.
The September number of the sprightly
quarterly, Tales from Town fToplcs,
has a very fetching cover, presenting a
picture of a remarkably pretty girl glanc
ing scornfully at a diminutive cupid, who
is eyeing her roguishly from his perch in
the branches of a flowering rose bush.
The picture is typical of the trend of the
breezy novelette, “A Marriage for Hate,”
by Harold R, Vynne. which forms the
leading feature of the book. Victoria East
man is a girl of refinement and breeding,
who marries a man that she hates, and
that hates her just as sincerely, rather
than lose her share of a fortune. The sit
uation In which the couple And them
selves is sufficiently original to cause the
reader unlimited amusement and the un
usual process by which the hatred exist
ing between the pair diminishes and Anal
ly resolves Itself Into affection, affords
an interesting study. Town Topics Pub

MAGAZINES.
The September number of the North
American Review presents a table of
contents wide In range and most author
itatively treated. The opening article Is
by the Rt. Rev. William Croswell Doana.
Bishop of Albany, who forcibly Illustrates
“Why Women Do Not Want the Ballot.”
Admiral P. H. Colomb of the royal navy
discusses “The Evolution of the Blue
jacket,” while In “Remlniscenses of Prof.
Huxley,” Sir Willlayi H. Flower throws
a charming light upon the private life of
the great scientist. “The Christian En

before the public by the Rev. Francis
E. Clarke, D. D., the president of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor, and
In a thoughtful paper entitled “Trend of
National Progress,” Prof. R. H. Thurston
of Cornell University asserts that the ten
dency of our own nation is toward a
future of large and well distributed wealth,
culture and content. Henry Farquhar, as
sistant statistician of the agricultural de
partment, writes Interestingly of “Crop
Conditions and Prospects,” Max O’Rell
very wittily gives his opinion of “The
Petty Tyrants of America,” and Edward
W. Blyden, Liberian minister to the court
of St. James eloquently dwells upon
“The African Problem.” North American
Review, No. 3 East Fourteenth street.
The Atlantic Monthly for September

quality. Houghton, Mifflin & Cos., 11- East

maintained. The present number begins
with an article on Argon and Its Dis

investigations of Lord Rayleigh and Prof.
Ramsay, a summary of all that is yet
known of the new constituent of the at
mosphere, illustrated with portraits of the
discoverers, drawings of apparatus anN

COTTON BADLY DAMAGED.
Report* of Bust and a Short Crop
Everywhere.
Only a few reports have been received
from the growing cotton districts during
the past week. Those which have been
received contain "bad news.” Every
where, It Is reported, the crop Is poor
and greatly damaged by rust, caused by
continued rains and the hot sun. There
is little hope of a top crop, as no new
growth is developing on the plants. The
conditions are about the same with both
upland and sea island cotton.
Tenntlle, Washington. County, Georgia.
Aug. 31.—The weather has been more fav
orable for cotton the last .week, and after
a long, hard scuffle, the farmers have
finished the cultivation of the crop. It
has required an extra working on ac
count of weather conditions, but it is
finished up in good style now, two weeks
later than usual. The picking has begun
pretty generally and some few bales have
been marketed. Cotton usually suffers se
verely In July from drought. This year
there has been too much rain through
July and August, and other disasters un
known by the farmers, so that at this
time a correct estimate of the crop made
is difficult to arrive at. All agree to a
smart reduction on last year’s crop, but
differ so widely that your correspondent
lias been uuajfle to fix a percentage. The
guesses vary from 5 to 20 per cent, de
crease for this section.
Paschal, Talbot County, Georgia, Aug.
31.—There has been no change in crop pros
pects worthy of note since the repot t or
last week. It Is regarded as an assured
fact that the cotton crop of this section
will fall considerably below the average.
Fine weather conditions and a very late
frost will to some extent repair the dam
age, but the fact remains that the crop
will be short. Cotton opens slow -picking
will not be general before Sept. 20.
Americus. Sumter County, Georgia, Aug.
31.—The weather for the past two weeks*
has been very damaging to the cotton
crop. The intense hot weather following
excessive rains scalded the tender leaves
and squares, making them have a per
fectly dead appearance. Hardly a white
bloom per acre can now bo seen in the
early morning over the average cotton
fields in this section. Asa result there
will be no fall or top crop. Conserva
tive estimate is that not more than three
fourths of a crop can possibly be made.
One small farmer to-day said he planted
for eighteen bales, now hardly expects to
get twelve bales.
Midviile, Burke County, Georgia, Aug.
31.—Upland cotton in this section Is open
ing very fast, and picking is all the go.
The scald and rust has about stopped the
growth of upland cotton, and. of course, it
will soon be ready for market, as the
hot sun has a fair showing at it Just now.
Sea island is not doing well, either. It
looks yellow and bad, and opens very
slow. Ten bales of new cotton have been
received here.
Lumpkin, Stewart County, Georgia, Aug.
31.—The cotton crop In this section is poor.
Rust is in most of the sandy land cot
ton. The red land cotton has thrown oft
the young forms. The farmers can only
count on the cotton now made. There
are no blooms or new growth. Three
fifths of the crop Is a full estimate.
Homerville, Clinch County, Georgia,
Aug. 31.—Sea island cotton has begun to
open. The bolls are small and the stapo
short on the account of the heavy rains.
At the present outlook there will not
be more than half a crop of top cotton.
Houston. Suwannee County. Florida,
Aug. 31.—Cotton has been greatly damaged
by the heavy rains, und hot sunshine of
the last two months. Nothing like a full
crop can bo expected. The yield will not
be over one-half what It should have been
with favorable weather. There has been
but very little rain the last week, and tn
sun still shines with great power, so It
Is probable that the sudden change from
too much rain to dry weather will further
disastrously effect the growing plant and
cause continued shedding.
Madison, Madison County, Florida, Aug
31.—8 y reasons of the heavy rains during
the last six weeks, which have abated
however, during the last two weeks, cot
ton put on a rapid growth, hut has
not fruited well. In some places it was

STRANGE AS FICTION,
A Tonrhing Incident Told by Prof.
Otl* Ashmore, the Astronomer.
Prof. Otis Ashmore, the celebrated as
tronomer and educator, who resides in Sa
vannah, says the Atlanta Constitution,
has just returned from an extensive tour
through the west and relates an incident
of the trip which outstripes fiction.
"Avery touching incident,' said he, “il

saying that truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction occurred a
few weeks ago upon the plains
of Kansas. It will be remembered that the
winter of 1894-95 was one of unusual se
verity In the west, and many sad stories
of suffering and privation were heard all
over the land. Our grand sisterhood of
states was touched at the pitiful appeals
for help and soon kind hearts and willing
hands came to the rescue and carried food
and comfort to thousands of distressed
homes in that stricken section. In this
noble work of charity Georgia bore her
humblo but willing part. •
"Gov. Northen made an appeal to the
state in behalf of these unfortunate peo

Georgia respond to the call. Car loads of
needed supplies came from every portion

J. L. BECK, Com. Agt., 11l Bay street
In the matter, had a solid train made up,
and with the inscription, ’Georgia to Suf
fering Kansas,’ it was sent hurrying on to
our friends beyond the Mississippi.
“Those of us who contributed our mite
to this worthy object thought no more of
the matter further than to be assured that
our contribution # had been gratefully re
ceived and applied in relieving the wants
of the needy, but a proud, though humble,
sequel to this sad story fell to the lot of a
party of Georgians on the Bth of July last.
The National Educational Association was
to meet In Denver, and two heavy trains
of Pullman sleepers were carrying the
southern delegation, many of whom were
Georgians, over those broad and dreary
plains between Kansas City anil Denver.
“About 9 o’clock In the morning our
trains came to a halt in the midst of the
desert, near the little station of WinomS,
Kan., and we soon learned to our great
disappointment that owing to a washout
on the road a few miles ahead we should
be delayed several hours, and perhaps
more. As far as the eye could reach noth
ing but a vast billowly sea of low, flat
hills appeared. Not a single tree was in
sight, and the evidences of human life
were feebly represented by a rude hut
here and there made of rejected cross
ties and covered with earth, or by a
simple ’dug-out’ at wide Intervals over the
plain, from whose humble portals there
sometimes peeped the pale face of some
rancher’s wife, surrounded by a half dozen
frowzly-headed, but swee't-faced children.
"The dreary hours of our long delay
dragged slowly by, and In spite of the nov
elty of the scene around us, the boundless
plain, the cloudless sky, anil the mirage
which a seething summer sun had wrought
Into a miracle of beauty apparently for our
special benefit, a keen sense of hunger
soon led us to realize the seriousness of
our situation, stranded as we were In a
desert several hundred miles from an ad
equate supply of food. Nearby were two
rude huts made of old cross ties and mud
over a ’dug-out,’ in which lived some
women anil children in the most primitive
manner. These poor, but kind hearted la
dies served many a cup of coffee to our
hungry party, and, indeed, did all In their
power to minister to our wants, and many
a nickel, for that was their modest charge
for a cup of good coffee, and Unchanged
quarters, too, for that matter, found its
way into their slender purses. Just be
fore we left a tall, dignified gentleman
with long gray whiskers and a kindly face,
who’ had Just refreshed himself with a
cup of coffee and a slice of bread, prepared
by one of these humble ladles, chanced to
question her about her Isolated situation.
Quite a sad story was told of the hard
ships of such a life which enlisted our
fullest sympathy.
“ ‘But,’ asked the tall gentleman, who
still -stood at the threshold of that rude
home, ‘do you not sometimes suffer in
winter hefe?’ ’Yes,' replied the pale
faced woman, ‘we often do suffer for
want of food, fuel and clothing; Indeed,
I think we all would have starved to
death last winter if the good people of
the south had not come to our aid with
the necessaries of life.”
" ’And do you know,’ asked the gentle
man, ’what state sent you food?’ .‘Yes,’
said the woman. It was Georgia. We
shall always remember with heartfelt
gratitude her generosity, and we shall
never forget her noble-hearted governor
who sent us a train load of provisions In
our distress.’
“ ‘And do you know,’ asked one of a
large group of Georgians standing
around, as he pointed to the tall gentle
man who had been questioning her, ’do
you know who this gentleman is?’ ‘No,’
staid the woman, as she looked into the
eyes of the strangely Interested party,
’This,’ said the second speaker, ’is (Gov
ernor Northen of Georgia.’
“The scene was a araniatic one. The
tears ran down her care-worn cheeks ns
she thanked again our honored governor,
for it was indeed he, and every Geor
gian’s heart shared the proud feeling
that must have pervaded even more fully
the breast of Gov. Northen as he stood
upon this truly dramatic scene. The
story is not without its lessons of the
highest Christian virtues, and tbe scene
Itself Is worthy of the painter's brush.”
