ON OF THE PEACH CROP.
Reports from Various States.
The reports upon the peach crop
-conditions given below have been re
ceived from the deportments of agri
culture of various states and they
show the conditions that existed about
the middle of April. Press dispatch
es indicate that the more recent freez
ing weather has changer the condi
tions in some sections and that the
general prospects are much more dis
couraging than formerly.
These reports may be summarized
as follows:
California, April 22.—Peach crop In
this state In a normal condition, with
promise of an average crop, taking
■the peach districts as a whole. The
indications are that all early fruit
will be unsually lat* in ripening and
will reach the mari^jt some two or
three weeks later than normal.
Delaware, April 18.—From present
Indications less than half a crop will
be produced and extremely unfavor
able weather prevails.
Illinois, April 17.—There will be no
peaches In central and northern 1111-
-aiols this year, and but part of a crop
Is expected In the southern portion of
the state.
Massachusetts, April 18.—According
to best Information hardly a poach
will be harvested throughout the state.
The sudden and Intense cold in the
•first week of December following the
almost summer temperature of No
vember not only killed all peach buds
but doubtless damaged the trees as
well.
Missouri, April 10.—The prospects
generally not good and In many sec
tions even the most hardy varieties
ure killed. However, In t!he southern
counties where the bulk of the peach-
jes are grown, 25 to 50 per cent of
a crop la indicated. Taking the state
as a whole, not more than 10 per cent
•of a crop will be produced.
New Jersey, April 10.—General re
ports indicate 25 to 60 per cent of
an average crop, although at that date
It was too early to determine the ex
tent of damage.
North Carolina, April 15.—No defi
nite Information at hand, but general
reports show something like 50 per
cent of a crop.
Ohio, April 17.—Reports made by
township correspondents on April 1st
showed' the peach crop in Ohio to be
about 77 per cent of an average.
Texas, April 17.—A late freeze dam
aged thd fruit materially and only,
ihalf a crop Is Indicated.
Virginia, April 17.—Reports coming
In at this date were conflicting, but
nothing like a full crop will be pro
duced.
West Virginia, April 18.—Not more
Hhan 15 per cent of the usual crop is
•expected and the indications are that
•all other fruits have been greatly
damaged by the cold wave.
Georgia—At present the crop in this
estate Is more promising than was in
dicated by reports received some few
weeks ago. In the northern part of
tthe state the yield will be very light,
mlthough some individual orchars In
this section are quite well fruited.
About 25, per cent of a normal crop
may be expected from the Middle and
{Southern sections. Although the per-
•oentage of a crop will be small, a
large quantity of fruit will be produc
ed, owing to the enormous number of
trees In .bearing.

His Last Hope Realized.
From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.
In the first opening of Oklaho
ma to settlers in 1889, the editor
of this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made
the big raoe one fine day in April.
During his traveling about aud
afterward his oampiug upon his
claim, be encouutered muoh bad
water, which, together with the
aevere heat, gave him a very .se
vere diarrhoea which it seemed
almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day
cue of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy as a last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was roll
ing about on the ground in great
agony, and in a few minutes the.
dose was repeated.. The good ef
fect of the medicine was soon no
ticed and within an hour the pa
tient was taking his first sound
sleep for a fortnight. That one
litfcLe bottle worked a complete
care, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests

The Bible Trust.
Savannah Nows.
Not even the sacred scriptures are
safe from the rapacity of the trusts.
It is the theory of Christianity that
salvation Bhall be free, and religion
just as nearly free as may be possi
ble. Running expenses are to be
met, of course, but it is the excep
tion to find religion being worked
for a profit. The Bible trust is one
exception. It is said there are just
seven big Bible publishing houses in
the United States. For twenty years,
up to within the past few weeks, no
page of a Bible had been newly set
in type. The printing of the bocks
waB all done from plateB made twen
ty years ago, the various sets of
plates being the property of the sev
en firms referred to.
Eight months or so ago a meeting
of the Bible printing firms was held
in New York for the purpose of
forming a combine. It waB assert
ed that Bibles were being sold too
cheaply; that the publishers were
not making as much money out of
the business as they could if they
entered into an agreement. There
is a big and steady demand for Bi
bles. The good book is a household
necessity. No family of Christian
antecedents and religious proclivi
ties cares to set up housekeeping
without a Bible. With these and
other facts in view, the publishers
thought it was high time for them
to follow the lead of other indus
tries, form a trust and enjoy more
of the profits of the piping times of
prosperity. Six of the seven firms
subscribed to the agreement, and
prices of Bibles were promptly ad
vanced 10 to 60 per cent., according
to the paper and binding. Visions
of profits, not thoughts of piety,
wero in ‘ the minds of the trust-
makers.
One of the seven firms, a Chicago
concern, deolined to enter the trust;
not for religious reasons, however,
but because it was content with a
less percentage of profit and saw an
opportunity of increasing its incorno
by remaining independent and fight
ing the trust. The Chicago firm has
racently made several sets of new
plates; in various sizes of type, and
announces that it wilt undersell the
trust. The prospeot for a cut rate
war in Bibles, for a time at least, is
quite good. Bibles may even be
come as cheap as biscuits. But in
the end it is likely that the trust
will win, as trusts have a way of
winning over independent concerns,
and then even for our Word we may
have to pay an increased tribute to
the trust.
Knew What He Needed.
The doctor’s wife went to the
door, says the Chicago Post. The
dootor’s wife and the woman next
door were not on good terms, but
the tramp didn’t know that.
“De lady next door,” he said,
give me a piece of her home-made
pie, an’ I t’ought—”
“I’m sorry,” interrupted the doc
tor’s wife, “but the doctor isn’t at
home just now. However, there’s a
physician in the next block, and if
you hurry he may be able to give
you relief before muoh harm is
done.”
Consternation has been caused in
the federal census bureau by the an
nouncement that on July 1st one
hundred clerks will be dropped from
the rolls. No announcement of the
identity of the employes whose ser-
eices will be dispensed with has as
yet been made. This action is made
necessary beoause of the limited ap
propriation of congress, but it is ad
mitted that the number remaining
will be amply sufficient to perform
such work as will devolve upon the
bureau hereafter, at least until the
time arrives for another census.

claring Dr. King’s New Discovery

Misfortunes to His Freaks.
“It began,” growled the morose
manager of the traveling museum,
according to Judge, “at Columbus.
A streak of bad luck hit us there
and has been following us ever
since, in spite of all we can do to
shake off the hoodoo. At Columbus
the fat lady fell in love with the
tattooed man and refused to eat,
and now she has wasted away until
we have to bill her as the living
skeleton’s twin sister. The tattooed
man got absent minded and walked
out into the rain so that the pictures
on him all got wet; and the scene
from the Coliseum at Rome blended
into a maze of colors that we have
hard work convincing the audience
is a moonlight storm at sea. Next
stand—I think it was Dayton—-the
human ostrich got the society fad
and went to one or two receptions,
just because he was invited out of
curiosity, you might say; ate what
ever they feed ’em at them 6 o’clock
teas, and twisted his stomach up so
bad he can’t swallow anything but
wireless springs—and you can’t work
any Marconi racket on the up-to-
date audience. Come along a stand
or two further, and I believe it was
in Wheeling where the two-headed
girl got to talking back to herself,
and I had to fire here for breaking
the rule against quarrelling among
the freaks. This left the show pret
ty much crippled, but we opened in
Cumberland to good houses, and
got along all right until the Circas
sian princess loaned her wig to the
lady Albino, who wanted to go to a
masked ball. Had to fire ’em both,
and”—
Here a boy pushed into the box
office and tugged at his sleeve.
“What is it?” asked the manager.
“The hupaan pincushion just tele
phoned that he wouldn’t be able to
do his turn to-night.”
“What’s wrong with nim, now?”
“Says he stepped on a tack and
can’t put his foot on the floor.”
The coffee-chewing habit is in
creasing alarmingly. It is easily
contracted, because of the pleasant
taste of the freshly roasted berries,
and the exhilaration from the active
principles of coffee being similar to
that from the alcohol in beer aud
whisky, the habit is hard to break.
The effeots of coffee-eating are
muoh more marked than those from
tobacco-using. It wrecks the nerves,
yellows the skin and destroys the
appetite.
An odd illustration of the kinship
that is engendered by a fellow feel
ing is to be seen in New York city,
where the Chinese are subscribing
to the relief fund for the suffering
Jews of Kishineff. It is not that
the Chinese have any love for the
Jews, but they do hate the Rus
sians, aud they are willing to assist
any people who share that hatred
with them.
Israel Zangwill says: “There are
three reasons why men of genius
have long hair. One is that they
forget it is growing. The second is
thattheylike.it. The third is that
it oomes cheaper. They wear it long
for the same reason that they wear
their hats long. Owing to this pe
culiarity of genius, you may get
quite a reputation for lack of 26
cents.”
Driven to Desperation,
Living as an out of the way

Gov. Pennypacker of Pennsylvania
may possibly be the first, victim of
the libel law that li6 signed the oth

Nelan has announced that he will
bring action against the governor
for libel under the new law.
