Showing Made by the Weather Crop Bulletin for the Last Week. According to the weather crop bulletin issued at Washington, the past week has been cooler than usual, except in the South Atlantic States and in the vicinity of the lower lakes, where a slight excess in temperature was reported. The greater portion of the wheat belt, which was deficient in moisture at the last report, received during the week from one to two inches more than the usual amount of rainfall. The spring wheat region also received about one inch more than the m rmal rainfall, but in this section the moisture was already in excess. Generally the week was cold and not favorable for farm work throughout the principal agricultural States, except in the east portion of the cotton region, where the weather was generally favorable for farm work, but where ra nis needed. Special telegraphic reports are: Arkansas —Weather not so favorable; severe local storms of wind, rain and hail did considerable damage, chiefly in eastern portion; corn doing well; cotton planting general; small grains fine. Tennessee—All crops looking well; Low lands badly washed by floods on 13th and 14th; some damage to corn by cut worm; tobacco plants improving since rain. Kentucky—Excessive rains retarded farm work: grasses and meadows improved. Missouri—Fields generally look fair, but work retarded and ground too wet and cold for germinating. Illinois—Oat seeding complete, some up and looking fine: fruit injured bv frosts, especially in southern counties; wheat improving; meadows and pastures good in southern portions. Indiana—Rainfall excessive; temperature and sunshine deficient, favorable to crops but ^not to plnwj.Kyt.ao4 seeding; wheat improved. Wheat, oats, clover, and grass made ^splendid growth: farm work, plowing, and seeding stopped by heavy rains. Michigan—Crops have advanced slowly ow- I Ing to high winds and cool nights; plowing for ’

oats general; some potatoes and early vegeta- ' ties planted; meadows and pastures In fine : condition; fruit prospects excellent. Wisconsin—Hut little farm work done dur- j Ing the last week, owing to freezing weather; i the season is, however, ten days early; all crops and conditions are very favorable; cranberry vines wintered well. Minnesota —Snow on ground in northwest; nothing done and little progress made elsewhere; soil too wet and cold; potatoes being planted in southern counties; weather during the week very unfavorable for seeding. lowa—ln southwest district dry, cold winds have injured winter wheat; seeding practically completed; plowing in progress; corn planting - begun in southeast district. North Dakota—Excessive precipitation and ■ low temperature has stopped all work since | Tuesday; seeding, of which but little has been , done, will be resumed this week should weather be favorable. South Dakota—Seeding and other farm work retarded by wet, stormy, and freezing weather; bottom land wet. Nebraska—Small grain mostly sown, but germinating slowly and unevenly when at all; much seed blown out of the ground by high winds; full-sown grain killed in southeast portion. and below average elsewhere. Kansas—Cold, rainless week except in southeast counties, where from two to four inches of rain tell; wheat, oats, and pastures making no progress; corn growing well. Terrible Disaster on Dake St. Clair. A disaster, resulting in the death of two men, the probably fatal injury of a third, and the severe scalding of a fourth, occurred on Lake St. Clair Wednesday morning. The steamer Choctaw, Capt. W. W. Smith, coalladen from Cleveland to Milwaukee,was entering the lake when the cylinder head blew out. Nelson < hambers, the cook, who was standing nearest the engine at the time, was so badly scalded that he died within ten minutes. C. Jones, fireman, died after being taken to the hospital. F. P. Thompson, oiler, was badly burned about the hands and

head and in the mouth and throat from j inhaling steam. His recovery is doubt- | lul. The engineer, F. Smith, was bad- I Iv but not dangerously the nauaa. Many Hurt by a Cyclone in Arkansas. At noon Wednesday a terrific cyclone passed through the valley just south ot | 1 ayetteville, Ark. Its path was about j 300 yards wide, and it left a barren ) waste. Many houses were utterly de- | molished. Out of one family, whose . name is Wright, consisting of eight per- ; eons, not one escaped serious injury , but it is probable that all except <ne i child will recover. Farts of their house were carried miles away. A number of others were reported injured, but how many and to what extent cannot be determined. The citizens are doing everything possible for the distressed. Live Stock Booming. One day recently the wife of a Floyd County, Georgia, farmer presented him with twin babies. At the same time, । according to the run of the story, two goats owned by the farmer gave birth to two kids each, and a sow produced a litter of seven pigs. _ Mbs. Everett, the wife of a master drayman of New Orleans, is one of the best veterinary surgeons in the city. She takes no pay for her services, but does the work out of love for animals.

GREAT NAVAL REVIEW PROUDEST EVENT IN UNCLE SAM’S MARITIME HISTORY. Nations of the Earth Lend Their Monarchs of the Sea to lio I s Honor —Hampton Roads the Iflstoric RendezvousGreat Day for Gotham. An Imposing spectacle.

j IIUN your Uncle Sam?>uel sets about to do a 5 thing it is usually done , I in the most appropri- | . priate ami elaborate way, and the great naval review witnessed i in New York harbor * was no exception to I this rule. The imposing demonstration signalized the opening of the Columbian Exposition at Chicago, and j its international charactei lei t added at- \ traction to a display of ! naval glory unprece- ! dented in the hi-tory ; of the world.

Representative vessels from the mighty navies of the most powerful nations of the earth joined with the superb warships of our own country in a dis- I play grand and impressive almost bei yond conception or description. For I two weeks prior to the event in New York harbor, the monster ships had been arriving at the rendezvous in Hampton Roads, off Fori Munn-, at the very spot whore, thirty-one years hgo, the Monitor and Merrimac engaged in the most decisive naval battle in the civil war, and proved to the world that j the days of wooden battleshi[ s was ■ I over.

cral other vessels of the United States navy accompanied her, and as one after another the foreigners were sighted the monster guns pealed forth their j thunderous salutes. For several days । the scene was one of animation and excitement. The roadstead was gay with flags of the various nations represent- ‘ ed, and saucy little dispatch boats ; darted about with untiring energy. From the impudent little launch and j agile torpedo, boat to the ponderous j protected cruiser, every species of vessel used in modern warfare was represented, and when finally all were as- ! sembled the list was as follows: Americ in l it et.

But the advances m naval construction have been almost I miraculous in their prodigiousness, and i so it is that the war vessels gathered in Hampton Hoads could in a day destroy a coast nation as extensive as the line from Kev West to New York. The new vessels of our now renowned navy have been described so often that । further mention is superfluous. Os a type different than those of any other nation, they combine fighting ability with swiftness, and challenge the admiration of the world. But, superb as ■ they are, they were in company which divided honors fairly. England sent the famous Blake, now the equal and lately the superior of any floating battery in the world. Argentine’s Nueve de Julio, just from the . ' yards on the Clyde, gave to the • ■ world the information that this South i American confederation was ready to ■ j do battle upon equal grounds with any : other power. The Jean Bart, with her ■ | gigantic guns, iron-sided hull and j wicked-looking ram, looked equal to

the task of encountering the whole fleet. Italy, Russia, Bra il, Germany, Spain, and even little Holland, all sent champions lit indeed to appear in this congress of invincible monarchs of the sec.. I nder way from Hampton Roads to New York, the American vessels acted as escorts to the visitors, the Spanish fleet having the place of honor, commanded by the Duke of Veragua, Admiral of Spain. Vice Admiral Sir J. D. Hopkins with the Blake led the British

squadron; Vice Admiral Kornakoff the Ru-siam with Grand Duke Alexis second In command; R< ar Admiral MaguaI ghi was it; command of the Italian l!e< t, and Uapt.

He be. ante lieutenant in 185.5, 1 and at tim beginning of the civil war was on tlm Lancaster, of tic Pacific squa ir"n. In I*'.2 he. was made Lieut tenant Commander, and took part in the ■ engagement of Fort Macon in that ’ year. In W3-M he commanded the gunboat Chocorna and the steamer Fort Royal, of the West Gulf bio kade ■ squadron. In the latter vessel he took ! part in the battle of Mobile Ray and ! distinguished himself for coolness ami I courage. In 186*; he was made Comi mander. in 1874 Captain, and in DM ' Commodore. In 1886 he was appointed Commandant of the Fropklyn Navy \ Yard, and in 18*7 lie became Rear Admiral. Up the ecast the formidable procession swept in close order and at a speed

’ i of only seven and a half knots to avoid i collisions, and in the evening came to L , i anchor in Sandy Heck to await the ‘ ’ morning of review. -1 Early on that eventful morning every i ■ available space for sight-seeing was > i crowded with spectators; erafts of all

descriptions, resplendent with bunting of nearly every civilized nation in the world and lively with the music of scores of lands, steamed out to take positions advantageous for view. Slowly up the Narrows steamed the mightiest fleet cv r afloat; they were joined by the Columbus caravels, the Santa Maria, Nina and Pinta, and the assembled thousands roared a mighty cheer as these representatives of the great discoverer’s frail craft swept on in company with the others. At last, opposite

Forts Hamilton an I Wadsw, rlh, came the supreme moment. The coast defens ■ guns belched forth a. sheet of flame, and from out the smoke boomed America'.- -alute to the nations of the wmid Hardly ha 4 the first cheerrolled up from the multitude before the fleet gave am wer with a roar and crash that -eemed to -plit the very heavens. Columbia had received the proudest horn- ' age in her history. Th rest of the exercises were simple, i The fleet came to anchor, President | Cleveland, his Cabinet, an 1 other dig- l nitari s boarded the flagship Phila- I di Ip ia, and slowly down the line the j party steamed m review. Flags and I bunting were displayed in profusion, | As the President of the great republic ; ] assed th ■ warsh ps the yards were t manned, the bands played national ; airs, and the multitude ashore and j afloat howled itself hoarse. The Presidential review terminated j the parade, and many of the foreign | vessels departed at once for their re- i spective stations. Quite a number of I the commanding officers, however, pro- I ceeded to Chicago to witness the open- ‘ ing of the Exposition. It is the opinion of naval officers that ; the Ne v York review surpassed inmag- j i ificence and grandeur the great Eng- ’ ' lish display inaugurated for Emperor • William of Germany in 1890. Never in ■ the history of the world have so many i

nations consented to participate in an international parade—a fact which plainly indicates that all of the great powers are anxious to show their respect for the United States by honoring the memory of the man who discovered the western hemisphere.

Arthur Sinton Os Galatea, Ohio. “They said I was incurable, the doctors did, but the result has proven that Hood’s Sarsaparilla was able to cure. I had Sciatic Rheumatism and was confined to my bed six months. Three physicians did not help me and I Was Civen Up to Die. When I was tn his terrible condition, unable to move hand or foot, I began to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. The first bottle had a little effect, and while taking the second I gained so rapidly that I could sit up in my chair. My system had been, so run down by other medicine that it took me quite a while to recuperate. By the time I had taken four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla I could walk around, and now, as I have taken six bottles. lam ured and can do a good day's work. I do not feel I can praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla ! enough." Aethub Simon, Galatea, Ohio. Hood's Pills are the best after-dinner i Pills, assist digestion, cure headache.
