Coming: Change In the Army. Washington, Sept. 15. During the present administration a great change will tako place in the personnel of the commanding officers of the army, and upon these changes speculation is even rife among the officials and employes of the War Department, as well as among those directly interested, and the greater throng whomay be benefited by them. President Harrison, ere his term expire, will have had to appoint nine brigadier-generals, an unusually large number for that period of time. Of these ho has already made one, Brigadier-general J. C. Kelton, 'Adjutant-general in place of General 11. C. Drum, retired. In addition to these general otiicers, President Harrison during his term will have to appoint the successors to twenty-three colonels, eight lieutenant-colonels, seven majors, fourteen captains, seven post chaplains And one professor in the Military Academy.

Corn in Good Condition and Much of it Beyond Harm by Frosts Fall Work Delayed. Washington; Sept. 14. The following weather-crop bulletin has been issued by tho Signal Office: The week ending Sept. 14 has been warmer than usual over tho corn and cotton regions and generally on the Atlantic coast, the daily excess of temperature in the central valleys raneinir from three to nine degrees. while on the Atlantic coast about the nor mal temperature prevailed. It was colder than usual from Dakota westward to the Pacific coast. The temnerature ,f0r. tho season from Jan. 1 'to Sept. 14 has been slightly lower than usual in the Southern States and the Ohio valley, and wanner in Xsew Euirland. Isew lork. rennsvlvania and the Northwest, tho greatest excess in temperature occurring in Dakota and the adjoining States, where the daily temperature has averaged from two to four degrees above the mean of previous years. There has been less than tho usual amount of ram during tho week generally throughout the principal agricultural districts, including tho cotton and corn regions. An excess of rain-fall occurred on the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts southward to North Carolina, and excessive rains also occurred over limited areas in tho Northwest, including northern Missouri, eastern Kansas, eastern Dakota, western Minnesota and southeastern Iowa. In the remaining States of the upper Mississippi and the Missouri valleys well-distributed showers are reported, while no rain occurred in the lower lake region, the Ohio valley, western Pennsylvania, lower Michigan and over the greater portion of Tennessee and Mississippi. Only light showers are reported from the east and west portions of the cotton region. The rain-fall for the season remains approximately as reported in the previous bulletin. The cotton region and the prinoipal corn States have been favored with over SO per cent, of the normal rain-fall, while the region from lower Michigan southward over Ohio, eastern Kentucky and central Tennessee has received less than 70 per cent, of the usual rain-fall. On the Pacific coast the seasonal rain-fall in California exceeds 70 per cent., and in Oregon, it amounts to about 50 per cent, of the normal. The weather during the week was especially favorable throughout the corn belt. Cutting of corn is in progress, and a large percentage of an excellent corn crop is now sate from frost. Kecent rains placed the grounds in a favorable condition for plowing in the States of the Mississippi valley, but fall farm-work is delayed in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, owing to the absence of rain. The prospects of the cotton crop have been improved by the favorable weather during the week in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. Cotton-picking is in progress, and worms have not proved generally destructive. Excessive rains fu Texas have slightly injured cotton, but placed the ground in good condition for plowing. Keports from Alabama state that cotton is opening rapidly, but tho rust is still spreading. In South Carolina the good weather favors cotton-picking, and other crops are reported in line condition. In New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, crops were improved by favorable weather, uut the high winds wero unfavorable for seeding. In these States the corn crop is reported as large, and an excellent tobacco crop in Pennsylvania has been secured, and the hop crop in New York is safe and in good order. In tha northern half of New England the weatiier was favorable, but high winds in the south damaged fruit. This condition extended over in New Jersey, where little sunshine and heavy rains E roved injurious to late truck, but were eneficial to pastures and favorable lor fall plowing. Reports from Kentucky indicate a fair crop of tobacco, if not damaged by frost. To protect this crop this service has secured, through the State Weather service of Kentucky, over one hundred stations within the tobacco region of this State, which will receive and distribute the frost warnings in time to enable farmers to secure the crop in case frosts are probable. The weather conditions were favorable on the Pacific coast for hop-picking, prunedrying, and fall seeding. Agricultural Statistics. jcil to the IudianapolM Joura&Z. Washington, Sept, 15. Mr. J. R. Dodge, statistician of the United States, Department of Agriculture, has prepared a series of sixteen charts, preceded by brief letter press description and bound as an "Album of Agricultural Statistics." The basis of each is a small map of the United States. In the first group in corn-growing, comprising States having more than 100 acres in maize in every 1,000 of tho superficial area, are ten States, via.: Iowa, with 219 acres; Illinois, 217; Delaware, 176; Indiana, 157; Missouri, 149; Tennessee, ISO; Kentucky, 123; Maryland, 117; Kansas. 113; Ohio, 110. In the rate of the yield of wheat the first group, with a ten years' average of 16.0 bushels or more per acre, includes only tho divisions . of the Ilocky mountains and Pacino coast region

and a part of the New En aland States. In

the second group are Michigan. New York, Unio, inaiana, iew itiampsnire. Illinois, Maine ana Anzonia in order, me Estates producing the most are not those with the largest proportion of surface in wheat, or the largest yield per acre. Dakota has but forty-one acres in every 1,000, and a yield oi 13.6 per acre. Analagous facts are shown in regard to oats. The charts deal only with the three cereals maize, wheat ' and oats, these comprising, as they do, 97 per cent, of the total cereal production oi the country. In producing the extraordinary differences in average value of farm animals, the largest factor is breed or blood, while feed and care, and distance from market, are other elements of variation. KILLED IN SUNDAY-SCHOOL. ' Lighting Strikes a Church, Killing Two Girls and Stunning: Ten Others. Columbia City, Ind., Sept. 15. While Sunday-school services were being held -in a small iramo church, hve miles south of this city, this afternoon, lightning struck the spire and coursed down through the roof, striking and instantly killing two girls, both aged seventeen, who "were sitting together in the center of their class. The other ten children in the class were badly stunned, but not seriously injured. Tho .names of tho children killed wero Mary Ilockemier and Agnes Freyer. Assaults on Negroes Condemned. Savanna n, Ga., Sept 15. The First African Baptist Church, of Savannah, of which Kev. F. K. Love, president of tho National African Baptist Convention in session in Indianapolis is pastor, passed resolutions to-dav condemnatory of the Baxley assault uponLove, Brown and Spratling, and pledging an appropriation to defray the expenses of prosecuting tho assailants. GEX.UAIUUSOX'S LOG COLLEGE SPEECH A Democratic Organ Admits that the Speaker Is a High Type of Man. Brooklyn Eagle. It is natural that President Harrison should desire to refresh his spiritual nature at tho ancient fountain of American Fresbyterianism. It would require iron nerves and an apostolic inspiration for any human being, situated as the President is. to hold the standard of duty unshaken. Therefor it was fitting and timely that he should repair to the fountain head of Presbyterianism in America, the Old Log College, near Hartsville, Pa., and drink deeply of the sparkling waters of his faith. That it stirred him and renewed him like a vital elixir, the eloquent and philosophical remarks which he addressed to the brethren abundantly show. He came not prepared to speak, and for that very reason what he did say gives us a better insight into the mental and spirit'ual character of the man. His tribute to the work which tho Presbyterian Church has accomplished was signalized by a clear perception of what it has cast olf in the' progress of that work. "The great period of polemical and acrimonious ecclesiastical discussion,' he said, has had its day and its uses. If wo aro now come into a day when essentials have been magnilied and non-essentials . have been sent to their proper subordinate place, let us rejoice for the light that has been shed. Let us not forget that we have been progressive toward the truth and not in that modern sense that recognizes no progress unless it is free from the landmarks of revealed truth.' Here we have a revelation of tho man as he is in his relations to his normal environment, free from the stress and counter pull of adventitious circumstances. His philosophy of religion is a compact between progress ami orthodoxy, llis faith imposes no restraints upon his intelligence. It is obvious to him that there is a principle of evolution at work in t the moral and religious, as well as in the physical world, and he is not afraid to admit that the church is bound in the courso of its development to get rid of much of tho scaffolding which it found necessary at first. A man capable of taking this view of ths uubiect is a man of an mtinitely finer and higher mold than his critics concede the President to be. We :aiay quarrel -with his official judgments and deplore his apparent inconsistencies, but wo cannot refuse, after reading this speech on the site of tho Old Log College, to acknowledge that the real Harrison is a wise and deep thinker, a man of profound and sincero convictions, a philosopher abreast of all the impulses of modern thought and progressive energy, and one who will hew as closely to the line of duty as political dynamics will permit. WOULD NOT RIDE WITH HARRISON. A Child Who Thought the Baggage Matter Mightier Than the President. Philadelphia Inquirer. A good story is being told of President Harrison, which illustrates how the head of the Nation can adapt himself to all circumstances in which he may bo placed. When tho President was returning from his Bar Harbor visit last month in company with Privato Secretary Halford, their special car, upon reaching Philadelphia, was attached to the 8:58 express for Washington over the Pennsylvania railroad. Shortly after the train had left the city, the conductor, who is ono of the oldest employes of the road and well known in this city, went into the car where the President and Mr. Halford were conversing. The President noticed the Grand Army button on tho conductor's coat, and immediately gave the military salute. "Mr. President, I have a favor to ask of you," said the conductor. "Well, what is it!" said the President, with tho old, weary, anti-office-seeker look on his face. "I want you to let me bring in my little boy Harry, who is on the train, and introduce him." The chief magistrate's face brightened instantly, and he replied: "Bring him in by all means." Tho boy, a bright little fellow of about eleven years, was brought into the privato car and duly introduced. The President put his arm affectionately about tho boy and, drawing him to him, said: "Now, Harry, you must sit right down, and ride tho rest of the way to Washington with me." Harry didn't exactly know how to receive this proposition at first, and then, looking up into tho President's face, he said innocently, in his childish treble: "I'd rather iide with the baggage-master." The President and Mr. Halford both roared, and as the child left the car the President remarked: "That's the first tirao since I've been in office that a bairtra iremaster's company has been preferred to mine. it Anderson's Matrimonial Ventures. Chicago Junrual. The town of Anderson, Ind., is earning fame as the center of matrimonial eccentricities. Miss Lena Skinner twice decked herself out in bridal array for the coming of Neil Kenton, of Fort Scott, Kan., but the bridegroom failed to show up in both instances, aud Miss Skinner has two useless trousseaux on her hands. Last Wednesday John Davis and Miss Hulda Guard were to have been made man and wife, bat in this case tho bridegroom was too tardy, for he only arrived in time to learn that Miss Guard had llown with a rival. Tho town, however, has been compensated for these two unpleasantnesses by the prompt and business-like conduct of a Chicago man, whose uame is given as W. G. Lyons, and who arrived on a business trip Tuesday, met Miss Jennie Sparks on the fair grounds, and, after an ardent courtship of thirty hours' duration, called in a justice of the peace and made her his wife. That is the Chicago way of doing things, and Anderson's vote on the world's fair question is doubtless as good as ours. Burns Open to Suspicion. Chicago Journal. Burns, the London striker, declares that it's money, not sympathy, he wants. The familiarity of the expression gives rise to a suspicion that Burns is none other than an American labor agitator traveling "incog." The many remarkable cures Hood's HarsaSarilla accomplishes are sufficient proof that it oes possess peculiar curative powers.

MRS. JOHN W. MAC KAY.

She Is Handsome and Bright, Dresses Elegantly, and Is Kind or Heart. J. R K., in Cldcago Tribune. Mrs. Mackay has left as agreeable an impression upon her countrymen and women as sho made upon tho Shah. Even the members of the proverbially cold and reserved Philadelphia social set who met her at Newport and Bar Harbor have been delighted. Her few days at Newport especially were crowded with luncheons and dinners given in her honor by the money gods and goddesses of the Rhode Island paradise. It was her first visit in nineteen years to her native shores, and Newport, largel misled by the malicious comments of irresponsible French and English journals of tho so-called society school, was scarcely prepared to find in the celebrated woman, who has been hostess to the Prince of Wales, so charming, intellertnal and wittv a nersonaire. I had the pleasure of half an hour's conversation lexe-a-rete in ner urawiug-room a& Newport. To keep a woman talking to you alone half an hour puts her on her mettle, but Mrs. Mackay was altogether equal to the test. To begin with, she is bo handsome that one is quito satisfied simply to sit and look at her. It was difficult to realize that the black-haired, dark-eyed and lithesome woman, so full of spirit and so quick at repartee, was the mother of the stalwart young man below stairs and grandmother to two little princesses on the other side of the sea. She has been so long a resident of Europe that, of course, sho has much of tho European manner and a British intonation and accent. Nevertheless, she is an American clear through, and nobody abroad is kinder to Americans, and nobody in the salons of an effete aristocracy talks up more valiantly for the institutions of the most splendid republic that ever blessed the earth. And, indeed, why notTFamily intluenco and tradition alono would have given her patriotism. Her father. Colonel Hungerford, was a gallant American soldier in the Mexican war, and ho trained her up on red-hot Americanism. Even her politics she inherited from him, and while her husband is a stanch Republican, she follows her soldier father into the camp of the Democracy. Ono of his sorest trials in recent years was the defeat of Cleveland. He lives much in the past now, of course, and a great deal of his conversation turns on topics which, although onceon every American tongue, are now known only to readers of history. The Mexican war seems to him to have been tho greatest struggle of modern times, and ho loves to talk of its battles and of his comrades in arms. Indeed, when his daughter was about to come to this country he made her promise one thing above all others. What do you think it was? To visit the graves of some of his old comrades in Greenwood Cemetery. Fancy starting an an ocean voyage weighted down with such a promise. But, after all, it may not 'have been such a bore to Mrs. Mackay, for, singular as it may seem, this representative of enormous wealth has a morbid love for grave-yards. Nearly all people of great force of character have some eccentricity, and hers is a yearning to wander among tombstones and dream of what the lives of those who lie beneath them may have been. But for all mat mere is noining gruesome in ner taiK. Altogether she was one of the most agreeable conversationalists to be met at Newport this season. Sho dressed elegantly, and her jewels were worth a kind's ransom. It was observable, however, that she was attired much more simply than most of the other women of the fashionable 6et, and even at a ball oran especially grand dinner, she never gave one the impression, as some others did, that she had poured tho contents of her jewel-box over her nerson. Her laces and gems, however, were always beyond all question real. At ono great ball her jewels were simply pearls, hut they wero so magnificent that thev wero notice able above all tho ropes and breastplates of diamonds worn by some other women. You may well fancy that a pretty penny is required to keen up so much snlendor. Quite aside from the cost of dresses and jewels, Mrs. Mackay's current expenses are more than 100,000 a year. Besides all this. for she is a woman of great kindness of heart and appreciation of moral obligation, she quietly gives away thousands a year in cnarity. HARRISON AND THE SOLDIERS. He Has Proved Himself Their Friend by Doing His Duty Courageously. Philadelphia Press. President Harrison's Action in the case of Commissioner Tanner is wise, just and brave. It shows that the President has tho courage to do his duty in the face of diffi culties. CorporaiTanner is unquestionably popular with the Grand Army. His shat tered limbs, his .personal heroism, his dash ing speech, his exaltation of the soldiers above everything, all give him a high place in the hearts of his comrades. There was danger thalr the displacementof such a man, though actually in their interests, would be misunderstood around the canm-fires. Yet in the lace of such a risk the President has seen his duty, and has courageously done it. Mr. Tanner has brought this doom on his own head. It is personal to bim and means no issue with the soldiers of the Republic. He has been his own worst enemv. His weakness and folly have brought their own pumsnment. w ell-meaning and highspirited, the jdace proved too big for him. His indiscretion and lack of sense aronsed antagonisms, excited resentments, put the administration in a false position and injured the cause of the soldiers he meant to serve. He was insubordinate and defiant with his superiors. Ho was trucnlent ana insulting witn nis peers. Ho put his liberal policy in the most extravagant manner and in the worst light. With his nrodigal bravado and his foolish statements ho managed to create the public impression that, without being dishonest, he was a loose and reckless spendthrift. He thus became an embar rassment not only to the administration. but to the true interests of the soldiers themselves. The President has proved a better and wiser friend of the Grand Armv than Mr. Tanner. No policy of pensions can prevail witnout popular support, air. Tanner was arousing opposition on all sides. His lav ish promises and inconsiderate utterances created a feeling that ho was ready to strip the treasury regardless of all other conse quences. Iho result was that every proposal from him was received with suspicion. A measure which from other hands might encounter no criticism was instantly under fire when he appeared as its sponsor. He was incessantly attacked bv the whole force of the opposition, and had put it out ui mo jiuwcroi ma menus 10 ueienu mm. Thus, while he honestly intended to bo tho best friend of the soldiers, he was in realitv their worst foe. His resignation removes a fatal handicap, and permits the just con sideration of pension measures on their merits. Ihe administration had declared melt in tavorof a liberal policy with tho soldiers of the Kenublic. and General Har rison, himself ono of their number, will have abundant opportunity to show that ho is aiso one oi meir wisest anu truest cli amnions. The country will sustain and applaud the iTcsuient. lie lound a weak spot in his administration, and lie has mantullv mado a change. The soldiers themselves will como to see that it is for their good, and the peo ple will recognize it as the act of a sincere, earnest, courageous, nign-mmded executive. V.'ILLIAM E. G LAD STONE.

But now everything had been done, the stones had splashed musically and tho' conquering litue cniei was returning norae. to. on the opposite side of the walk. there appeared young Biaino Klkins riding a shaggy, brown pony. Ben dropped the broom-handle, conscious that there was some difference between his steed aud that of tho Elkins lad. His grief was too deep even lor a cry, aim it was only wnen his grandmother turned that ho put up a trembling lin. "Blame, won't vou let Hcniamin ridel" she called out, anxiously, and in ;v moment tho youngster was astride tho brown pony, his fat little fingers buried in in the mane in an ecstasy of fear, tho President of the United States plav-. mg equerry ana leading tne little t mare up and down tho tan-baik walk. Benjamin, jrv wore a whito ' china silk frock and a big black hat that had been discarded by his grandfather. Since he found it he will wear no other.

No one knows better than Mrs. McKeo tho dovotion of President Harrison for his grandson. hen asked whether sho would take her children with her to Indianapolis. she answered, doubtfully: "I shall tako Mary, but I am afraid father will not snaro Benjamin." It is definitely decided that there will be no more touring for the President after tho return from Baltimore, as his friends say ho fails more under tho strain of railroad t ra v- -eling than under the greatest amount of hard work.

A LESSON' TO THE GRAND A 'MY. The Tanner Case Should Teach the Members ' Caution In Ilecoramendlug Candidates. rhilao'elphia Record. Tho CorporalTannercpisodo bears a leson to tho Grand Arni3' interest, and it will bo well if that organization shall con that lesson well. There is a disposition among liepublican leaders to give the koJdier clement everything within reason. But there is nothing reasonable in selecting any man for public position solely on the ground that he was a good soldier. The rational rule is that, other things being equal, the faithful soldier shall have thfl preference. Tho selection of Corporal Tanner was not judicious. Ho had never disphn'ed any aptitude for the discharge of the dilhcult duties of the position to which, by tho recommendation of the Grand Army. h was appointed. It is a plato that would try the best man of affairs connected with that organization. It M as a blind indorsement, and, like most of its kind, proved disastrous. It was no kindness to Corparal Tanner to put him in a position that ho could not fill. The effect of it will be to create distrust of the judgment of his backing. He lott his head at once, and if ho had avoided worse errors h would have talked himself to death. Ho was recommended because he could talk well to his comrades. Ho was appointed, and straightway began to talk, and he has succeeded in talking his official head off. Journalistic Amenities In the Untutored East, Kansas City Star.
