WON’T PLAY ANY MORE.
Alter thinking It over lor a week or
jnore the Augusta Chronicle notifies the
Telegraph that it Is nft longer “a Bry
an organ" any more than it U an or-
Kan of any of the former candidates for
the presidency put up by the Demoerat-
. !c party, and that its "face Is turned
toward living Ueues—to the rising,
not the setting sun." This haa a good
sbqnd to It.' But The Chronicle does
us an Injustice in saying that we "con
tinue to Jab" It In the ribs as trfough
it "were his special defender."
The Telegraph waa engaged In a dls
cusslon of matters and things with Mr.
Bryan. The Chronicle on Its own mo
tlon bolted In lit the side gate and Join
cd In the controversy. If It does not
want to stay we cannot force It. Our
neighbor asked us questions. We an
swered, and asked somo In turn. Wo
.were not answered.
It is not fair to <?rawl over the bock
fence now and make faces at us. But
if you wonl stay and play, come back
tomorrow. Always glad to aeo you.
NAVAL RECRUITS FROM Ttt
SOUTH.
A recent Washington dispatch stated
’that an extrusive plnn hod been tnau
gurated for "recruiting young mei
the South for the navy," and the
i plana tlon given of this statement wxtf
tf.s follow.-:
"Aiftor the Spanish war the nr-ed of
t iiior* became so urgent that Admiral
i , r"wnltiHl>W-ltl, chl«-f «»f the bureau of nav-
1»:><llon. sent recruiting parties Into the

It was further explained that "It
takes time to gain the sea habit and
learn the Intricate duties of a petty
officer, and the ladder can only
climbed by men who arc willing to
apply themselves and gradually, but
Hoadlly, gain advancement."

rooii Lotto FRANCIS.
Th- only poraon dwicrvlng
thy tn connection with the Yoko-
Sirong affair I. Lord Franct,
Jte married the actress, May Yo
plte of family apportion, gave her hie
title and the prospect of a better one
when he became Duke of Newcastle,
then proved hi* absorbing devotion to
hi* wife by allbwlng her to remain on
the atage and accompanying her on her
tour through the United State*.
But even with thl* obliging husband
and th, prospect of becoming a real
duchcs* May Yoke waa not satisfied.
She seem* to have desired further ex
periments and to have a ta»te for gold
braid. At nil event, she left Lord Fran'
cl* tn the lurch and ran off with Capt.
Strong of the United State* army, the
scandal causing the latter to lend In hla
resignation and run the risk of a court
martial. Lady Hope and Capt. Strong
have sailed for Japan and are laid
intend to remain a long while in the
land of tho chrysanthemum. No doubt
they will remain until they begin to
bate each other, or until Lady Hope
tiros of gold braid and resolves upon
another experiment. She has deliber
ately forfeited all claim to sympathy
and may be expected to pursue her sue-
ceMlve experiments to the end. As for
Capt. Strong, he quite as deliberately
took all the rlska and must expect to
suffer the consequences.
But poor fjevoted Lord Francis Hope,
though fully aware ot hi* wife’# con
duct. Is prevented from divorcing her
by the Duke of Newcastle, his elder
brother, on pstn of being cut off with
out a cent. The duke Is fanatically op
posed to divorces, “no matter how
wretched the circumstances may be," sa
contrary to religion. Such opinions on
the part of a religious elder brother
would be a matter of small consequence
In an American family, but the Duke
of Newcastle Is the legal head o! I
house and carries tho keys to the ex
chequer. So Lord Francis must either
go to work. beg. or allow the woman
who has run off with the American
captain to remain Lady Hope until his
brother Is dead and he succeeds to the
supremo authority. Poor, weak, mis
erabta Lord Francis!
TUB SBW WOMAN.
The new woman serins to flourish In
Ponnaytvsnln. If a Sharon. Pa., special
to tho Philadelphia Record may be
truated, an “old maids' convention” will
alt In Cool township, Mercer county,
from Tuesday until Friday of this
week. The energetic delegates have In
vlted every bachelor of thnt region to
bo present and “will rend to them ata
llallca showing thnt married men llva
from live to fifteen years longer thi
single men and have a better chnnce
of success In life.” Whether all of tho
member*, sm confident of returning
home with captured husbands Is not
stated, probably owing to the likeli
hood thnt a few of the bachelors will
venture to prefer a shorter life un
shackled to a longer one In company
with these persuasive and well-season-
d delegate!.
Another Pennsylvania Instance la
that of the McKeesport girl, Mtsa Lulu
Bowlin. who last week proposed to a
handsome acrobat ot the name of John
McUInnlt. Miss Bowlin Is ssid to be
young, pretty and rich and not to lack
aultors, yep ahe proposed to a circus
man and stoutly defends her action,
Mctllnnis was quits taken aback. It
la not stated that he blushed, hut he
did all the other thing! expected ot a
prison to whom an offer of marrlago
Is nude. According to Mlrs Bowlin's
own account, he hesitated and was very
'shy." He asked what her father
would any, and expressed th* belief that
ought to consult his employer. Fi
nally, be'asked tor Hint tb consider,
and no wonder, for though he might
learn to love her, he ot course felt, ne
every right-minded girl would feel,
that It waa to sudden! Miss Bowlin
said ahe could not blame him, and pro
carded to prove the certainty ot her
Intention by refusing to let him go out
ot her sight until hit mind was made
6he took him to her father and
accompanied him to hla employer.
Both having been won over, and Mies
Bowlin's wealth having been proved to
be substance and not mere assertion,
the coy acrobat consented to be made
happy ever after and the marriage took
place on the same day.
Mrs. Hoy Dry mux Blake, the woman
suffragist, contends that women hav<
the right to propose and should d'
whenevor they may feel eo disposed.
Of course they have a right to do thle
and many other things that are the
better off for leaving undone. But be
fore they decide to propose to the av
erage man they hid better provide
th"i " Ives with Mlsa Bowlin's youth,
good looks and wealth. Otherwise the
ronseqoencea may be trying It woul*
be painful to have the object of one's
effectluse offer to be a brother, and It
would be both painful and humiliating
to see him run and Jump over the back
fence.

LITTLB I'OKM WAITED
To the j:d|t"r of The Tele
jr cheap monthly magazines, 'ijnfiy be
iree or four y ara ago, a L-:iulffuI
:le gem from Pierre I^otl. an officer
the French navy. It w as only about
three or four verses, and was entitled
Jf! Arno Pla Hove**—I love the pious
One would not suppose, Judging by
the title, there was anything aesthetic
about It. and yet there wis In It a
sweet spirit of ’conll lence and trust
calm, strong, .reposeful nature
blch I thought was very beautiful.
If you should ever find tho little gem

SCItt.MV MAY HIS FOR Ltnp.l..
Philadelphia Times: Rear Admiral
Bchley, when asked what he had to say
about the slanderous publications In
Maelay's so-called "History," replied
that this was not the time to talk but
the time for action. The Inference to
be drawn from this Is that the admiral
means to proceed against Maclay or
his publishers for libel, which would
be a very proper course and one that
the public would applaud. No officer
In the service has dar;d to say openly
what the bureau clique have Inspired
Irresponsible writers to utter against
Bchley, and Maclay, though he Is car
ried on the navy yard pay roll. Is not
within the range of a naval court. But
he Is within the reach of the civil law
and suit against him that would bring
Into court and compel him to disclose
the sources of his misinformation would
be not only -an entirely proper but a
highly interesting proceeding. It might
be made very uncomfortable for Crow-
nlnshleld and his allies.

RICHMOND, Va,. July 23.—The con
stitutional convention waa in session
only thirty minutes today, blit It tran
sacted some Important business. There
was a rather full attendance of mem
bers, eighty-three being present.
The feature of the session was the
presentation of the report of the com
mittee on reduction of expenses by Mr.
Withers, Its chairman. It was read and
referred, and ordered printed.
Messrs. XVIUls. Hubbard and Stcb-
blna of the committee announced that
they could not concur In all the recom'
mendatlons of the committee and ha<\
not had time to prepare a minority re
port. which they gave notice they
would do later. !|
The majority report was substan
tially as follows:
We recommened a reduction In
the salary of the governor of the state
from 38.000 to 14,000, to take effect Jan
uary 1, 1900. XVe do this becauso we
deem It sufficient.
2. We recommend tho abolition of
the office of second auditor. We do
this because we believe that each am!
all of his duties can be acceptably a
properly done by the addition to the
clerical force of the auditor ot public
accounts of an efficient and competent
clerk.
"3. We recommend the abolition of
the office of railroad commissioner, be
cause we believe the law creating It Is
so defective ns to render It practically
useless to the people of the state, and
we further believe that as Ions: as'
exists It will remain an itrtpedlmem
to the creation of a proper railroad
commission with plenary powers.
"4. XX'e recommend that the office of
public printer be abolished anil the
placing of Its duties under the super
vision and control of the secretary of
the commonwealth.
'*6. We recommenfl the abolition of
the office of register of the land office,
and the consolidation of his duties with
the office of secretary of the common
wealth.
•*7. We further recommend that ev
ery executive officer of the state,
whether mentioned herln or not. ex
cept the superintendent of the penlten-
tlary.be elected by tha people for a term
of four years.
"8. We further recommend that ev
ery executive officer of this common
wealth bo paid a fixed salary, with
no fees or other perquisites attached
thereto, except ns herelnbefoto pro
vided.
We further recommend that ev
ery clerk In the office of the auditor of
public accounts, the treasurer nnd the
secretary of the commonwealth shall
he by the constitution made a bonded
officer."
Delegate Pettit of Fluvana today to
day presented the report of the minor*
Ity c.n preamble and bill of right
which is concurred In by Messrs. Pe^
lg> of Henry nnd Hatton of Ports
mouth. The minority report Is the Ma
son bill of rights in its entirety, ob
jection being mnde to all amendments
recommended by the majority.
Mr. Blair offered a resolution ex'
emptlnr from taxation oil property of
ex-Confederate soldiers who ore disa
bled. up to 81,000.
Mr. Chapman offered a resolution pro-
vlfllng thnt there shall bo only one

WASHINGTON, July 23.—Following
Is the weather bureau's weekly sum
mary of crop conditions:
Intense heat has prevailed another
week throughout the states of the cen
tral valley and middle Rocky Mountain
region, with only local showers over
limited scattered areas. Portions of
the middle and south Atlantic states
continue to suffer from excessive moist
ure, but very favorable temperatures
have been experienced in these dis
tricts.
The outlook for corn 1# lew favorable
than at the close of the previous week.
In Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Missouri early corn is practically
ruined. With early and abundant
rains in these states, late corn would
probably make half a crop or less. The
condition of the crop in Iowa la more
favorable than in the before-mentioned
state* and copious rains, with moderate
temperatures within a week would
greatly Improve prospects for a large
part of the crop. In Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee, more
particularly the western portion* of the
two last named stater, corn is now se
riously in need of rain.
Moisture ha# caused considerable In
jury to winter wheat In shock In the
middle Atlantic states. Harvesting
continues where ‘unfinished in t'ne more
northerly sections east of the Rocky
mountains and in general progress on
the north Pacific coast.
Spring wheat harvest has begun over
the southern portion of the spring
wheat region where, as a result of pre
mature ripening, the yield and quality
Is much Impaired. Over the northern
portion, where the crop Is now ripening,
it# condition continues promising.
In portions of Mlsrisrfppi, Alabama,
Georgia and Florida the condition of
cotton has improved, but In the two last
named states gnd In the Carolines It
has suffered from lack of cultivation.
Rain Is greatly needed In Tennessee
and over the western portion of the
cotton belt, where, however, the crop
is generally withstanding the* drought
well. Fruiting at the top continues to
be reported from tho central and west
ern districts and throughout the belt
tho plant I# small.
In tho Ohio valley, Tennessee and
Wisconsin tobacco Is suffering much
from drought, especially in western
Kentucky, and has been Injured by
r.iliy* In Maryland. Elsewhere the crop
has made favorable progress.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Juty 33.—Again
today did the Constitution prove
epcrdlrr than the Cotumbla tn light airs
and fluky weather. It wa* In the firet
squadron run of the New York Yacht
Club from Huntington to Morris Cove,
and the day waa remarkable for the
wind, which boxed the compos com
pletely from eaat-northeatt, to west-
>outhw< at, from i o'clock In the morn
Ing until 7 o'clock In the evening.
The Constitution crossed the starting
tin* first, the Columbia following, the
Conetltution having the windward po-
ritlon and quickly overtaking the fleet,
which had gotten away earlier. The
wind wae so gentle that It barely filled
the lower satis of th- big sloops, and
they seemed to derive most of their
headway from the huge club-topeatta,
which were full when the other salt#
were flapping. Aa the wind shined,
canvas was trimmed to meet it.
At 1 o'clock, when the Constitution
waa becalmed, the Columbia got a lucky
streak ot wind and ran past her rival
and secured a lend of a quart,
mile. Her advantage wa* short-lived,
however, for at 1:35 the wind once a
filled the Constitution's sails and ahe
glided to the front tn r. marvelous man
ner and maintained her lead to the fin
lah. increasing It constantly.
On elapsed time the Constitution won
