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 inii-rlnr, enlisting luaty farmer boy# for Mirvlce.

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.

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. aph: 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.

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. OF COMMITTEE OX REDUCTION EXPENSES STRIKE AT SALARIES OF OFFICIALS AND SUGGEST THE ABOLITION OF SEVERAL I3IFOH- TAXT OFFICES.

In the ten years thst I have lived New York I have never seen the streets so deserted as they are now.

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.

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. HOLL9NS INSTITUTE VSRCINIA.

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.
