WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Condition of the Small Creps Throughout
Kentucky Up te Yesterday.
The rainfall for the past week ever the
state was generally deficient; the central
counties had abundant rains; but by far
the larger portion of the state is" still
under the inlluence of the dreuth.
Light rains were unite general through
out the stnte during Sunday night and
Monday; but only in a few sections was
thcre enough te break the existing dreuth.
On the whele the rainfall was net suffi
cient te be of much benefit.
The temperature during the week was
below the normal. During the early pait
of the week It was quite cool, with nights
entirely tee cool for growing crops; there
was reported from Spettsvillc, Uendor Uender Uendor
sen county, a very light frost en the
night of the 31st of August; no damnge
resulting. The temperature conditions
during the latter part of the week were
mero faverable te growing vegotntien.
Sunshlne was about normal, and had a
geed effect In ripening tobacco.
The reports indicate an outlook for a
considerable deficiency in all crops, preb)
ably amounting te from fifteen te fifty
per cent.
In the Southwestern counties, however,
and even in portions of the central cenn
tics, the reports gave a premising out
look. Suffering from dreuth continues
in a great many sections, and great injury
te crops, gardens and pastures hnve al
ready been dene, while preparations for
planting wheat and rye have been greatly
retarded. Water is becoming scarce in
soine sections.
The reperts show about the same condi
tions in regard te com as did these of
last week. The counties along the Ohie
river report mero suffering from the
dreuth than heroteforo, while the geed
rains in some of the central counties
were tee Inte te prevent great damage
This crop will be short except iu the
Southwestern counties, probably about
25 or 30 per cent.
Tobacco has net the advantage of corn
ns appears from the reperts roceived; the
worms have nlded the dreuth In tunny
sections te reduce this crop. Cutting fa
rapidly progressing; the weather lias
been very faverable for this work, and
next week will ilud a large portion of the
crop housed. The Southwestern coun
ties, repert an excellent crop of tobacco;
In most all ether sections great complaint
Is made, and a shortage of from 15 te 20
per cent la looked for,
Ileiut) is beiiiL' cut in the parts of the
state wliere thote is any raised; the acre
age of this crop is probably much below
the usual.
Pastures are iu need of rain very much.
Gardens are also suffering.
Grapes reported te he retting badly.

A eartv c

Tuesday evening was a most enjoyable
affair.
There was dancing and ether nmuse nmuse

delightful refreshments were served.
The hostess was assisted In receiving
by Miss Jenule Berry, a most charming
young lady.
The music was furnished by the Lewis

Wby a Weman Hides Her Age.
" I'll tell you why It Is we women hide
our ages." said one of the sex the ether
day. " Ninety-nine out of every hundred
women regard mart lage as their ene end
in life. New, it's a curious fact, but true
nevertheless, that a man as a rule wants
a young wife. Whatever his own age,
his wife must be young and attractive
and nil that.
"If a woman is married when she is
getting en In life it's only thrown in her
face. People say unklrd things nbeut
her. She is charged with a desire te
marry any one, or some ene may say that
she set her cap. for the man she married
because sue feared te be nn old maid.
"Women, tee, are at their best at
thirty. Men don't think se, however,
nnd se they are obliged te keep their ages
down te the limit set by their masters.
" These two reasons a desire te com
ply with the men's arbitrary standard
and a fear lest their own sex mny say
spiteful things if they marry when no
longer in their tjens have let women
into the habit of falsifying their ages.
"Sccendnrv reasons spring up from
these two. The younger girls of a family
are often obliged te keep their nges down
in order that their elder sisters' matri
monial chauccs may net be spoiled.
Sometimes nn ambitious mother keeps
nil her children's ages down in prdcr that
she herself may net appear tee old.
But, ns a rule, ence married, a
woman's litre progresses as nature in
tended it should and she has a birthday
every year."
THE OLD SETTLERS.
Hepert of Their Annual Reunion at Itug

SrniNODALE, Sept. 0th, 1892.
The following program was adopted
and successfully carried out by the old
settlers at their annual meeting en Sep
tember 3d nt Rupglcs Campground, viz.:
Opening hymn", "Jesus Cever of My
Seul."
Prayer by Bre. Miles Wallingford.
Address by Bre. Cyrus Riffle of Mays
ville. The minutes of the previous meeting
were then rend, after which the contents
of these well filled baskets were spread
upon the tabic. The entire assemblage,
consisting of about 300 descendants of
the old settlers, about fifty of whom were
ever CO yenrs of age, reverently steed
while the divine blessing was invoked by
Bre. Riffle. Then the bounties of field,
garden, orchard, vineyard, poultry-yard
and larder were discussed until the inner
man was made net euly te rejoice but te
exclaim, "It is enough." At the tnp of
the bell the audience again gatheicd
around the spenker's stand. The songs,
"Old, Old Story," nud "Am I Soldier of
the Cress" were sung, after which Judge
J. M. Axlexander of Sharpsburg, Bath
county, delivered a very pleasant and en
tertaining address. G. W. Adair, Esq.,
of Maysville then made the company
happy by a pleasing nnd appropriate
speech. Hen. Emery Vhitnkeref Masen
county then took the fleer and in a
straight forward manner related facts and
reminiscenses that demonstrated te his
hearcrs that te cultivated intellect mere
than anything else ate we indebted for
the wonderful progress since the advent
of the old settlers. '

notes.
Seme of the young men present decided
that the nest cooks in the world lived in
Lewis county.
Brether RIIllc's able management of
the "skirmish line" assured the success
ful termination of the engagement.
Mrs. Nan Glascock McCart of Wace,
Tex., who is visiting relatives in this
stntc, met many friends at the reunion.
W. Themns of Burtenville rendered
the ladies valuable aid in arranging the
long nnd elegantly luld table, serving the
coffee nnd caring for the spoons.
A very interesting sketch of the 11 fu of
William Tolle, n nntlve of Lewls county
but for many years a resident of nenry
county, la., containing interesting histo
rical facts, was well read by Mr. Rugglcs.
An elegant supply of line watermelons,
contributed by the ever generous II. C.
Bnrkley of the Spot Cash Shoe Stere, was
te a certaln extent a drawback, for the
small boys had no relish for dry reminis
cences while these melons were in sight.
Adair's version of the size and construc
tion of Neah's wife was highly appreci
ated by theso te whom it wns new, nnd
Judging by tlte contortions of some of
theso te wliem It was old, we are ready
te acrce with the Parson nnd exclaim
that we are "fearfully ami wonderfully
made."

RSVVBLIOAK
TORN BY A TIGER.
Geerge W. Fultz, Head Animal Man of
Sells Bres.' Shew, Mutilated.
While the multitudes which lined the
sidewalks yesterday were singing their
preises of the magnificent parade of the
Soils Bres.' Shew, a shocking scene was
transpiring iu one of the caucs which
had attracted its share of the attention of
the lookers en.
In that parade of marvelous splendor
no feature had excited mere admiration
than an open cage containing a handsome
pair of loyal bengal tigers, among the
finest specimens of that animal In captiv
ity. Feats of daring are always salient
points in such exhibitions nnd in the cage
with the ferocious beasts sat their trainer
and master, Geerge W. Fultz. He new
lies terribly bruised and mashed at the
bearding hotise of Mrs. Pellltt, corner of
Limestone nnd Thlid streets.
It wns noticed nil during the progress
of the pageant that the tigers were un
easy and fretful, casting mnny a mali
cious glance and uttering growls of con
tempt for the apparantiy defcnseles
man who sat en a steel near the forward
part of the inclesure.
At the comer of Plum and Third streets
thcre was n halt in the precession. Here
the nnimnls became very demonstrative.
They paced up and down the narraw con
flues of the cage like two demons, and in
passing clese te where the keeper sat
would give vent te their fury in ugly and
defiant snarls nud growls as if challenging
him te combat.
A description of the cage would give a
mero tangible idea of the occurrence. It
is divided into three cempartmeuts, with
folding doers between each. Thcte
doers were open, however, nnd the man
and the brutes were practically iu one in in
ceosure. In the forward compartment
sat the imprisoned man, nnd in order te
gain exit he would have been compelled
te re into cither the middle or rear room.
When the precession moved en after
the halt there were numerous cries of
warning from the throng en the side
walk, many crying te the prisoner te
"close the deer's" between himself nnd
the new thoroughly enraged beasts. This
he started te de once and then changing
his mind he again threw them open and
resumed his seat. He is said by his em
ployers nnd theso who knew him te be
possessed of wonderful nerve, nud he
thought that by shutting the animals off
from him they would realize that he
was afraid of them and he would never
be able te handle them again.
Just nt the corner of Bridge street
one of the animals came and steed di
rectly in front of him nud lashing its tnil
and uttering fierce and angry growls gave
every evidence thnt it wns ready ter n
conflict. Fultz held In his hand a short,
stout club, like a policeman's billy.
With this he gave the nuimnl n vicious
rnp en tne head. It retaliated with a
vicious pass with its paw which did net
reach the keeper
In passing down Bridge street the
tigers became involved in a furious fight
among themselves. Eye witnesses vary
in their accounts as te what happened or
rather hew it happened. Fultz himself
is net yet able te give an exact account.
He snys thet he endeavored te separate
the animals which were tearing and claw
iug each ether. Perhaps tills is just
what they wanted, that they might have
a chance for revenge. One of them
grabbed the peer fellow aud it seemed
that he was deemed te meet a horrible
denth. It seems that only ene of the
brutes wns especially bleed-thirsty,
the ether simply looking en, though no
doubt eulv kept back by fear of punish
ment which brute instinct taught would
surely fellow.
When it seemed sure that the unfortu
nate man was done for and theso look
ing en had turned away In horror, ene of
the participants in the parade en horse
back rode up and pulling a revolver from
his pecket began firing tlueugh the bars,
striking each of the beasts several times.
The sting of the leaden bullets had its
eilect and the beast gradually released
its held en the new thoroughly
prostrate man. By strenuous ot et ot
tetts en the pait of the circus peo
ple who gathered around the ani
mals were forced, each into one of the
end compartments and Fultz was taken
from the cage and carried into ene of the
houses known as "Owen's Rew." Medi
cal aid was hastily summoned and Dr.
Phillips, assisted by Dr. Yazell, exam
ined nnd dressed his wounds whicli were
forty two In number, and most of them
of a triglitful character. The tiger evi
dently grabbed him around the body and
sank its teeth into his neck. There are
several round holes In the side and back
of the neck as though made by immense
molars. His side and hack are terribly
lacerated and tern by the huge claws of
the tiger, and. Indeed, there Is hardly any
portion of his body that docs net show
the effects of the terrific encounter.
Acress the shoulder blnde there is a deep
cut, several iuches long, nsclenn and even
ns if made by the keenest carving knlfe.
N Idle the injuries nre net necessarily fa
tal, they are of a most dangerous nature
It is also feared that he is internally hurt
by the awful squeeze he must have un
dergone As seen ns his wounds were sufficiently
attended te he was removed te Mrs.
Pollitt's. He passed a mere comfortable
night than one would expect, sleeping
some three hours, hut nt times suffering
grcnt pnin, Vith no complications It is
the hepe of the physicians that he will
pull through.
One of balls intended for the tigers
struck the unfortunate man iu the right
side, but the wound produced by it is net
of aserieus nature.
One of the tlgers was badly wounded,
it is said receiving four bullets. It was
still alive when the show left Maysville
and theso iu chnrge say it will recover.
The ethor was also struck but net much
hurt.
The nnimnls were purchased by Messrs,
Soils Brethers during their recent tour In
Australia nt a price of if 3,000 each. They
are magnificent specimens of the most
cunning nnd treacherous of all beasts.
It Is claimed by their owners thnt they
nre the finest iu captivity.
Geerge W. Fultz, the unfortunale vie
Urn, !b81 years old nud single Ills home
Is nt Cnlumbui, O. He has been with
ONE CENT.
Sells Brethers about four years and is
highly spoken of by his employers nnd
ethers connected with the show. He
was the boss nnimel man. Theso who
knew him say he was utterly devoid of
fear, his daring amounting te reckless
ness. He is best known te the profession as
"Animnl Geerge."

RUSSIAN SUPERSTITION.
Queer Ideas ncRnrdlng a Tire Started by
I.lghtnlnf.
Ignorance Is seen in its true colors
when it interferes with the practical af
fnirs of life nnd strikes a death-blew te
prosperity ami huppincss. A traveler in
Itussin writes in the English Illustrated
Magazine:
One villngv through which we passed
wns the embodiment of filth and
squalor. A destructive fire was ragtag
at one end of It, and round this all the
Inhabitants were gathered. One house
wns already burned down, a soeend was
oeo mass of flames, and the fire was
rapidly spreading te a third, yet net a
hand was raided te arrest its ruinous
progress. Oaths, prayers, the wailing
of women and whiningef children filled
the air.
,rWhy en earth dent you put out the
fere?" sheuted my companion te one et
the peasants, who approached with a
sorvile and wistful leek, as if he ex
pected an etTertafj of money. "Have
you no buckets?"
"Surely your excellency deigns te
lcnew that it isn't buckets we needr
"Well, it isn't strong arms, either, I
fancy. Why don't yen go te work?"
"Your grace wouldn't have us flj- in
the nice of Heaven! WeVe sins enough
en our souls without lidding that black
crime te them. Wasn't It Ged's own
lightning that set. PetnnTs house en
Are a ceuple of hours nge? Anil bad as
we ere, there's net a man in the village
that would raise hl: hand te undo Ged's
holy work."
My friend raised his hand, waved It
despairingly, and we drove en.
"It's a mere waste of time te reason
with them," he said. "They wxrald as
seen commit suielde en masse as put
out a fire Ged had kindled with His
lightning."

A gentleman who enjoys a wide ac

in n short time he surmounted, The

that they could carry en n conversation

New Yerk, Sept. 8. Wednesday was
brighter, frostier and every way mere
bracing than any day since the first
cholera ship made this pert, and this
evidence that we have the weather en
our side In combating the invading
scourge has sent New Yerk's spirits up,
though it is reported a few mere cases
of sickness have been discovered at
quarantine.
The main question, outside of actual
combat with the grim enemy, troubling
the health authorities te-day seems te
be the disposition te be made of the
Nermannln's mnny baloen passengers
in whose favor the tide of popular sym
pathy new appears te be turning.
They have petitioned the people of
New Yerk te take betne action which
will deliver them from their floating
prison, and there seems te be little
doubt but that their prayers will be an
swered. The secretary of the navy has indi
rectly offered the use of the naval re re
serve training ship New Hampshire.
The government has Indirectly ten
dered the use of the proving grounds
at Sandy Heek, and the Hamburg
American Steamship Ce. is negetiating1
for the charter of ene of the sound
steamers. It is therefore possible that
the health authorities Wednesday will
decide upon the fate of the Norman Nerman
nia's cabin passengers, who claim that
it is net just te keep them prisoners en
beard a pest ship when it is proved that
cholera seems te be confined te the
stokers of the Nermannia.
In thh connection it may be added
that many of the Nermannla's crew
have already been removed with the
steerage pasjengcrs te Heffman island,
but qulte a number remain behind in
order te work the ship and wait en the
detained passengers.
On beard the Rugla, which is still an
chored off the hospital islands, Is Mr.
Degetau's family, consisting of his wife
and two children. They were making
a tour of the continent when the chol
era broke out Mr. Degctnu is a
wealthy cotton manufacturer at Monte Mente
ray. When he heard that the scourge
had broken out he cabled Mrs. Degetnu
te take the first ship back, and then he
hurried te New Yerk te meet her. IIe
has communicated with his wife, but
he can net see her, and what seems te
him te be an Interminable delay is
wearing upon him. But this is only
one case out of many.
Here in New Yerk there is still net
the slightest feeling of alarm, though
geed work of cleaning and disinfecting
and preparing for the worst gees stead
ily en. New Y'erk may be said te be
read- for the siege, prepared for the
battle and determined te leave no stone
unturned In the efforts new being made
te crush the invader.
Telegraphic or telephonic communi
cation between all the hospitals, islands,
quarantine stations, health commis
sioners' e likes, police department and
the mayor's efllec are new complete,
and the federal, state and city author
ities have premlssd Dr. Jenkins, the
health etllcer, all the assistance he may
require te de battle against the enemy.
Se we may new be said te be besieged
by cholera and defending ourselves te
the utmost with all the appliances
known In medical and scientific war
fare. In this effort New Yerk is aware
that she has the sympathy of the entlra
country, for it is the battle of the
whele country which New Y'erk is
fighting and which she will fight te the
last.
