The weekly crop bulletin for Indiana, Just issued, gays: "Plowing for corn, sowing oats, plantin); potatoes and gardening progressed wore rapidly, with the ground in better condition. Bye and barley are in good condition; rye is of rank growth in same fields. Early sown wbeit is slowly improving, growing green in the central and southern portions, bat in many fields of the northern portion wheat is beyond recovery, and it will be replaced by oats and other crops. The yield ot wheat this year will possibly be less than that of last year. Fruit buds have begnn to burst. Apples, pears, cherries and plums are apparently sound; bat peaches seem to be beyond recovery, and the crop will possibly be an entire failure this year."

MONEY TO MOVE FALL CROPS. secretary of the Treasury Adds to His i Holdings of Small Notes. ) In anticipation of a largely increased j

Semand for notes of small denomination when the full crop movement begins, the Secretary of the Treasury is making arrangements materially to increase the treasury holdings of these small notes by raising the capacity for production of tines, turns, fives anil tons from T '12,000 per day to $780,000 or $800,000 a day. It is thought that by July 1 a sufficient amount of these notes will be available to meet any possible emergency. Up to this time national banks hare not seemed willing to exchange large notes for those of smaller denominations, but it is believed as soon as the coming fall crop begins to move the pressure will be too great to resist, and the treasury means to be forehanded. CONSULS ORDERED BACK TO SPAIN. Will Occupy Same Positions They Held Before the War. The Secretary of State has directed the return to their posts in Spain of the United States consuls who were obliged to leave on account of the war. Two of these officers. Consul H. W. Bowen at Barcelona and Richard M. Bartelmnn at Malaga, are now in New York. The third, J. Howell Carroll, consul at Cadiz, is now at Gibraltar. The department has determined that they shall be retained in the consular service, there being no evidence of any personal ill-feeling incurred by them. The sub-consular officers mostly remained in Spain throughout the war and were undisturbed, some even continuing to discharge a part of their official dnties. They will also be continued in the

service.

ENABLES THE DEAF TO HEAR.

Young Alabama Electrician Experiments

with a Novel Apparatus. Reese Hutchison, a young electrician

and a graduate of Auburn College. Alabama, is exhibiting hie apparatus for making the deaf hear. He augments vibration and "enables deaf mutes to hear words

spoken in ordinary tones and also to hear the piano, gnitar, the phonograph and en

joy the music. The apparatus fur the use

of the deaf is the size of a pocketbook and is connected by wires with an nudipbone which is held at the ear. Two totally deaf

men were experimented with. They stood

fifty feet from the piano and marked tne time of the music, laughing -with delight over the novel experience. BOILER EXPLOSION IS FATAL. Three Men Lose Their Lives and Five Injured at Chippewa Falls. Three mew killed and five injured is the result of a boiler explosion in a sawmill located about eight miles east of Chippewa Falls, Wis. The mill was a small one owned by George Straight. Power was

furnished by a twenty-horse power engine

and boiler. Without any warning the boiler exploded, entirely demolishing the building and hurling eight workmen high in the air. The explosion was due to the weak condition of the boiler, having been in use for a number of years. The three men killed were residents of Cadot, Wis.

NEW YORK LANDS MAIL ROBBERS. Two Prisoners. One a Chicsgoan, Confess to Stealing Drafts and Checks. Equipped with a complete mail carrier's outfit, in order to avoid suspicion, two expert mail robbers are under arrest at police headquarters in Xew York. Each has confessed to robbing the registered mail, and in possession of each the police found

checks and drafts which had been plundered from the mail pouches. The men under arrest are Albert E. Bell ot London, Can., and Frank H. Smith, alias "Kid"

Forster, of Chicago.

As Reported by Brad street's. Bradstreet's trade review says: "Real

spring weather has improved the tone of

trade, particularly retail, and correspondingly helped jobbing distribution, but. at

the same time, brought last winter s injury to the wheat crop more in evidence.

Wheat prices for the first time this sea

son may be said to have actually reflected crop damage reports. Other cereals are

but little changed, while the movement of our breads tuffs abroad at preseut seems to be on a lessening scale. Among the favorable features coming to light might be mentioned the receipt of reports of contjnued good railroad earnings, advices of widespread industrial activity, accompanied by rather less than usual friction, as reflected in strikes for higher wages and a largely improved distribution of wool, which appears to have awakened at last from its long sleep. Sales of this staple, indeed, are the heaviest reported for many weeks past. The strength of row sugar has finally been reflected in higher rates for refined, hard grades of which are firm at the advances, while soft grades have been shaded. The iron sad steel industry remains firm. The lumber market is active at wholesale. Current demand for dry goods at the East is quieter. Wheat, including Sour, shipments for the week aggregate 1,983,010 bushels, against 3,384,800 bushels last week. Corn export for the week aggregate 2,0Co,12tS bushels, against 3,724,654 bushels last week." Raid by Cuban Bandits. Twelve or fifteen mounted bandits, one dressed as a womau, raided the Vinellos plantation, owned by Mrs. I'uri, two miles south of Caimito, Cnba. and ten miles from Havana, and took $100 in silver from the owner's residence and afterward burned the house of the overseer and a warehouse containing $6,000 worth of tobacco. The bandits then rode to Caimito, where they plundered two dwellings and then Went to a third, where a dance was in progress. A captain, a sergeant and two Cuban soldiers went out of the house to see what was the matter and other persons crowded to the doors and window. The raiders fired a volley at close range, killing the captain and one soldier and one man in the bouse and wounding the sergeant and another soldier and two other men who were also inside the building. They then galloped away. Oil Find Causes Excitement. Considerable excitement has been created by an oil find about one mile west of Wooster, Ohio. Drilling was started about five weeks ago and oil was struck in the berea sand at a depth of 520 feet. The discovery was kept secret-for some days and the interested persons in the meantime secured leases on about 1,000 acres. Robbery Still a Mystery. The Bank of Lima, Ohio, has begun business as the successor of the American National Bank, which last winter had a mysterious robbery of its safe of $18,000 without the use of drill or dynamite. The loss was made up by assessment on the stockholders, who then agreed to go into liquidation. The loss is still a mystery. March Exports and Imports. The statement of imports and exports issued by the Treasury Department shows that for the nine months ending in March the exports were $947,910,403; imports, $400,995,033, an excess of exports of $447,024372. The exports of gold for March were $1,106,845; imports, $3,18",575, an excess of Imports of $2,077,730. Grandmother and Child Burned.

"That was so lung ago that, 10 doubt, you have forgotten all about it. You." bitterly, "have forgotten a good deal." "And you." says Lady Baltimore, very calmly, "what hare you not forgotten yonr self-respect," deliberately, "among other things." "Take care, take care!" says Lady Swansdown, in a low tone. She has turned furiously. "Why should I take care?" She throws up her small head scornfully. "Have 1 said one word too much?" "Too ranch, indeed," says Lady Swansdown. distinctly, but faintly. She turns her head, but not her eyes, in Isabel's direction. "I'm afraid you will have to endure for na day longer." she says in a low voice; "after that you shall bid me a farewell forever." "You have come to a wise decision," jays Lady Baltimore, immovably. There is something so contemptuous in her whole bearing that it maddens the other. "How dare yon speak to me like that?" cries she, with sudden violence not to be repressed. "Yon of all others! Do you think yon are not iu fuult lit all that you stand blameless before the world?" The blood has flamed into her pale cheeks, her eyes ure ou lire. She advances toward Lady Baltimore with such a passion of angry despair in look and tone that Involuntarily the latter retreats before ber. "Who shnll blame me?" demands Lady Baltimore, haughtily. "I I for one! Icicle that yon arc. how can yon know what love means? You have no heart to feel, no Inugiiig to forgive. And what has he done to you? Nothing nothing that nny other womnti would not gladly condone." "You are a partisan," says Lady Baltimore, coldly. "You would plead his cause, and to me! You are violent, but that does not put you iu the right. What do yon know of Baltimore that; I do not know? By what right do you defend him?" "There is such a tiling as friendship!" "Is there?" says the other with deep meaning. "Is there, Beatrice? Oh! think think!" A little bitter smile curls the corners of her lips. "That you should advocate the cause of friendship to me," says she, her words falling with cruel scoru one by one slowly from her lips. "You think me false," says Lady Swansdown. She is terribly agitated. "There was an old friendship between us I know that I feel it. You think toe altogether fs.Vc to It 7' "I think of you ae little as I can help." says Isabel, contemptuously. "Wly should I wnste a thought on you?" "True! Why, indeed! One so capable of controlling her emotions as you are

need never give way to superfluous or

useless thoughts. Mill, give one to Baltimore. It is our last conversation together, therefore bear with me-heur inc. All bis sius lie in the past. He -"

"You must be mud to tiiln to me like

this," interrupts Isabel, flushing crimson. "Has he asked you to Intercede for him? Could even he go so fa. as that? Is It a last insult? What art you to him that yon thus adopt his cause? Answer me!" cries she, imperiously; all her coldness, ber stern determination to suppress herself, seems broken up. "Nothing!" returns Lady Kwansdown,

becoming calmer as she notes the other's

growing vehemence. "I never shall be anything. I hnvc but one excuse for my interference " She pauses. "And thnt?" "I love him!" steadily, but faintly. Her eyes have sought the ground. "Ah!" siiys Lady Baltimore.

"It is true," sl iwly. "It is equally true

that he does not love uie. Let me

then, speak. All his sins, believe uie, lie behind him. That woiiinu. that friend of yours, who told you of his rentwed acquaintance with Madame lstray, bed to you.

The crisis has come, she tells herself, with a rather glim smile. Weil, better have it and get it over. That there had been a violent scene between Baltimore and his wife after dinner had somehow become known to her. and the murks of it still betrayed themselves iu the former's frowning brow and somber eyes. It had been more of a scene than usual. Lady Baltimore generally so calm, hud for once lost herself, ami given nay to a passion of indignation that bad shaken her to her very heart's core. Though so apparently unmoved and almost insolent in ber demeanor toward Luily Swansdowu during I'U'ir interview, she had been, nevertheless, cruelly wounded by it, and could not forgive Baltimore in that he had been its cause. "I didn't think you and Beauclerk had anything in common." says Baltimore, seating himself beside her on the low lounge that is half bidden from ilie public gaze by the Indian curtains that fall at each side of it. He had made no pretense of finishing the dance. He had led the way and she hod suffered herself to lie led info the small ante-room that, half smothered in early spring flowers, lay off the daiicing room. "Ah! you a you have yet much to learn about tne," says she, with un attempt at gayety which fails, however. "About you? No!" says he, almost detiiuitly. "Don't tell me I have deceived myself about you, Heat rice; you are all 1 have left to fall back iiihui now." His tone is reckless to the last degree. "What is it, Cyril?" looking at him with sudden iutentuess. "Something has happened. What?" "The old story," returns he, "and I am sick of it. 1 have thrown up m.v hand. 1 would have been faithful lo her. Beatrice. 1 swear that, but she does not care for my devotion. Aud as for me, now" He throws out his arms as if tired to death, and draws in his breath heavily. "Now?" says she, leaning forward. "Am 1 worth your acceptance?" says he. turning sharply to her. "I hardly dare to think it. aud yet you have beeu kind to me, and your own lot is not a happy, aud " He pauses. "Do yon hesitate?" asks she. very bitterly, although her pule lips are smiling. "Will you risk it all?" says he. sadly. "Will you come away with me? I feel 1 have no friend ou earth but you. Will you take pity ou me? I shall not stay here, whatever happens; I have striven against fate too long it has overcome me.

AFGHAN WOMEN. Hiffb-Castc Mothers Have a Lonely Time of It. If there arc- any women in the world who have w right to die of i iimil. It is those poor creatures at Afghanistan, the upper class dames. They spend their .lays doing absolutely nothing, for they disdain sewing, cooking and general household duties: they leave the care of their children to slaves, aud they can neither read nut' write. (ienerally iu a rich house there Is one chief slave, a sort of housekeeper, rather a grand person, whom ft Is always wise to conciliate If you intend having many dealings, with that establishment. In summer she is always dressed lu purest white; lu winter, velvets and brocades are not beyond her reach. She is generally an elderly persou, with considerable iutlueuce aud a good deal of authority. Then there, is another who Is a sort ot maid to the lndy of the house; she Is a not her pcisoir with whom It Is uot wise to quarrel; she Is always very much in evident. She It is who prepares everything for her mistress' to;let. its also for her master's, it is the wife's special duty and privilege, however, when the things a tv prepared, to wait upon her husband, when he Is dressing, t. pour ibe water over his hands aud feet, during bis religious wttliitigs, to spread his prayer carpet, to put his favorite dish before lilui, aud S mi It Is difficult t-i appreciate the exai IKisitiou of these Afghan women until oue sees the way iu which mothers arc treated by their ;ious. They tuny nurse them when they are s!ck, tend them when they are young, but let the boys grow to be eleven or twelve years old, and you will hear thetn Ml their mother lo "cluiii sho" (.shut nil), scud them to fetch their caps and expect to be addressed by the mothers as "aglia gul." or "aglia joti," which means, "my precious master." "master dear." Calml mot hers seldom have much affection for their children or their children for them; they du not iitirse theni as babies, aud their babyhood is a particularly long oue, for they arc very backward. They belong to thulr nurses more than to their mothers till they are two and a half years nhl. and nfter that it Is their father who notices them and uot their mother. Philadelphia Press.

Little Birds on Big Ones. How ever the little birds contrive to get across such vast cxpHUScs of the sea In I heir animal migrations Is a puzzle, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. That they do It Is unquestionable; It Is admit fed by the most competent observers that they sometimes get over stretches of billowy brine that fur a thousand miles afford no perch for their weary little claw to clutch ou. That such au extended flight Is too much for them Is not only evident iu itself, but Is proved by the fact that these too Venturesome songsters sometimes alight ou the rigging of ships in such a state of exhaustion that, when disturbed, they are unable to fly the length of the vessel and occasionally even fall helpless upon the deck. Ail Kuglish traveler who was considerably Interested iu the birds happened to be passing the autumn lu the island of Crete, lu the Mediterranean., and he often noticed a sound like the twitter of small birds when the sa ud-era nes were passing overhead ou their way southward. As the only fowl lu sight were the cranes, tills aroused his curl iisiiy. and be inemioueil the matter to a friend, who was a iintc ot the Island, suggesting that possibly the imlse was caused by the whirring of flu? fen them of these great birds. His friend, however, said no; the noise, he declared, w.is made by some birds that were riding on the backs of the cranes, and he further asserted that the saucy little fellows came all the way froth the mast of Kurope with their goodnatured companions, who lent.

THAP DEWlfii S MEN.

FIFTEEN OF THE YORKTOWN'S CHEW CAPTURED. Aiubuihed Ijy Filipiuoa at Hitler, in Isle of Luzon -Gunboat Had (lone to the Ucacue or Spanish Prisoners Admiral Cublcu Krlof Details.

The disputch from Admiral Dewey received nt the Navy Department in Washington, reporting the iiiubiiscaile of Lieut. Oiluititc aiul his party, and stating that their lute was iiiikoown, caused great concern ut the department. Because of the cruelty km w n to U- used by the Filipinos toward their prisoners it will be a most

grn.eful surprise to naval officers to learn

ilia; the heads of tiiliuore and the others

have not lieen cut off and their bodies mutilated.

Instructions were sent to Admiral Dewey to use every effort to ascertain if the party is still alive, aud if so. to secure

their release, if possible, either by ransom

or in exchange for some insurgents held by tin' American forces. len. Otis and

Admiral Dewey have about l.fMK) Filipino pris-ouors in their possession. Aguinuldo's well-known reputation for feathering his nest lends to the belief, however, that he will prefer to listen lo overtures for

the purchase of the freedom of the Atner icans.

According to Admiral Dewey's dispatch

the warship s cutter, with fifteen men

aboard, was sent from the Yorktuwu at night to make soundings near Baler, where a small Spanish garrison had been

resisting the insurgents for nearly a year.

The object was to ascertain how close to

the shore the gunboats sent by Admiral

Dewey to rescue the Spaniards could go. The cutter had gone for some time when

suddenly three volleys, fired in rapid suc

cession, were heard aboard the Yorktown. A curious feature of the affair is that no reply to tne shooting was made by those

aboard the cutter, which had a machine

gun in her bow. This leads to the impres

sion that Lieut. Uilmore and his men

were ambushed aud perhaps all slouch

tci-fsl before they could raise a band in

their defense.

Dewey's dispatch reads as follows:

"The Yorktown visited Balor, Luzon, east

coast of Luzon. P. I.. April 12, for the purpose of rescuing and bringing away

the Spanish forii-s, consisting of eighty

soldiers, three officers aud two priests,

who were surrounded by 400 insurgents some of the insurgents armed with Mau

ser rifles, as reiorted by natives. Lieut.

J. ... trilinore. while making an examina tion of the mouth of the river in an arm

ed boat, was ambuscaded, fired upou and

captured. Pate unknown, as insurgents

refused to communicate afterward. "DEWEY."

A MOTHER S HOPE.

Still Thinks ot Kind lug Her Hoy, Who

nas stolen Fifteen tests Ago. The finding of Gerald Lapiner, the kid

naped Chicago boy. has kindled anew the Ores of hope in the breast of Mrs. Linie

Dickinson of Houghton. Mich. Mrs. Dick

iusou believes that she may yet find her boy, now grown to manhood, who was

stolen fifteen years ago.

In 1SS4 the Dickinsons were living at Florence. Wis., where Mr. Dickinson was a mining engineer and superintendent of the mines. Oue day the boy, Willie, was stolen. He was then 6 years old. The theory was advanced first that the boy had been kidnaped in a spirit of revenge by some of the miners who were identified

with u strike. This theory was abandon

ed later a search Imving been made in the meantime of all the abandoned shafts in the vicinity in which the boy might

hare fallen. Almost a year passed before

the uid of a detective was called, and then

a thorough and organized search for the

little fellow was made.

The little fortune owned by the parents was spent in the huut for the boy by the Pinkerton detectives. Clews were chased

from oue end to the other of the Unite.!

Stuti s. Several times it was believed that

success was nt hand. One clew, which was undoubtedly u true one, led the detectives into the South and into a settlement of negroes, where the boy had been se

creted for several months. L'nmistaka

ble traces of the Dickinson boy were

found among these negroes, his playmates

having learned the same prayers he re

cited when at home aud also having gained a true description of his home in Wisconsin. But the boy could uot be found. In the years that have elapsed the moth

er has never wholly abandoned hope. The

husband is cIchiI. nnd the broken-hearted mother has traveled all over the United

States. She lifts seen lftti boys about

whom There wus mystery, pointing to an abduction, and has been the agency of re

storing thirteen stolen boys to their parents. If living Willie is now 21 years old.
