BRIGHT CROP PROSPECTS.
The reports of good crops come
from all parts of the grain grow
lng states, and, excepting for a
narrow belt in New England
where It has been raining too
hard, the farmers everywhere are
rejoicing. The outpat of wheat is
especially large compared with
that of a year ago, although corn
Is progressing qnlte as well, and
there is snie to be a large yield, if
not a foil crop, in almost all the
grain states from Lake Superior
to Texas and from Nebraska east.
The cotton crop also is thriving
admirably, with the prospect of
an unusually large yield. The
chances are that before the season
is over the railroads will bo taxed
to their atmost capacity to carry
the immense stores of wheat, corn
snd other breadstuffs of the mid
die west.
Fortunately this great crop
comes in conjunction with a short
age in the world's general supply.
The best evidence now obtainable
Is that most of the surplus grain
In this country will be demanded
for export to Europe, Australia
snd other countries. The United
States will have to feed the worlo
next winter, and luckily it is in a
condition to do so.
The benefits accruing from
these conditions are showing
themselves in many ways. Sep
tember wheat has been selling on
the New York produce exchange
at from 18 to 22 cents a bushel
more than at the same time a year
ago. Stocks, bonds and other
securities are reflecting the favor
able movement of commerce. The
entire business and commercial
system is feeling the tonic and in
vigorating effects of an improve
ment which promises to restore
business to some of its former
healthful activity.—Chicago Rec-
ord. .
Thero was an enthusiastic meet-
ing held in O. O. Turner's office
last night and as a result Gaines-
ville will be placed in the front
rank of Toxas cities. She will have
a ball park. Whitesboro and
Wynnewood can no longei lead
bcr. La^t night's meeting per-
tained strictly to base ball and
the building of a ball park and
the following players, rooters and
admirers attended: L. B Smith,
C. O. Turner, ,J. T. Adam:?, F. J.
Hall, J. R Shortridge, O. B.
Smith, Dan McGraw, George H.
3iddings, C. II. Smith, C. M.

Wilmer Briscoe, E. J. Giddings,
Phad Clements, C. R. Johnson,
Max Ilcyman, H. F. Smith, Edgar
Turner, I). C. Jamison and J. hn
King.
J. T. Adams was elected chair-
man and E. J. Giddings secretary.
On motion the chair appointed
H. R. Eldridge, John King, O. B.
Smith, George Giddings. C. O.
Turner and A. L. Fairchild a
committee to solicit stock in the
association.
C. R. Johnson, L. B. Smith, O.
B. Smith and C. O. Turner were
appointed a committee to select
the best grounds in the city and
to report what terms can be made
with the owner.
The recent g^mes at Wichita
Falls and the splendid playing of
the home team have aroused the
enthusiasm of the lovers of the
sport and everybody at last
night's meeting was in earnest.
The association is founded on a
business basis, the capital stock
being placed at 8 1000 with shares
at $10 each. At the meeting last
night 1300 worth of stock wa<
taken.
There is no doubt of its being
a paying venture and regular div-
idends will be declared. One
man remarked last night that if
he had $ 100 to invest he would
be one of ten to take that amount
and would have it returned to
him in a year.
Vnother meeting will be held
at the court house tonight at 8:30
at which the committee on
grounds will report.
The Wichita Games.
The three ball games at Wichita
Falls are yet the leading topics of
conversation and next to them the
high price of wheat is discussed.
No report of the games has as yet
been printed and for the benefit of
their many admirers the Hes
perian gives the following.

•n Ordinary Letters In England
Were Almost Prohibitive—Adoption of
the Penny Post and the Queer Argu-
ments Against It.
PHYSIC.
When Queen Victoria asccnded the
throne, there were no telegraphs in tbia
country and few railways. The mails
were forwarded by coach, and the post-
age rates were to all but the well to do
prohibitive. It cost from 4d. to is. 8d.
to send a "single" letter under an
ounce in weight from one part of the
kingdom to another. There were some
40 charges, varying according to dis-
tance, the average rate beiug iW., or
half the day's wngo of a laborer. A
"single" letter meant a single piece of
paper (adhesive envelopes had not been
invented), and the addition of a second
scrap of paper made the letter a "dou-
ble" one. The postage was paid on do-
livery by the recipient, and as no cred-
it was given the inenrsion of a postman
into a poor neighborhood was watched
on all sides with fear rather than hope.
Coleridge, the poet, saw a poor wom-
an declining to accept a letter on tho
score of inability to pay. Tho good
natnred bard (doubtless with some diffi-
culty) found the required nincpence,
despite the woman's remonstrances.
When the postman had gone away, she
showed Coleridge that the letter was
bnt a blank sheet of paper. Her brother
had arranged to send her at intervals
such a sheet, addressed in a certain
fashion, as evidence that all was well
with him, and she as regularly, after
inspecting the address, refused to accept
it. Sonic humorist ou one occasion sent
ont large numbers of letters, each on a
sheet as large as a tablecloth, all of
which had to bo delivered as "single"
missives.
This system practically stifled written
intercourse among the working class and
pressed with severity upon tho middle
class, but the rich and highly placed
entirely escaped postal taxation. Tho
privilege cf franking covered tho corre-
spondence not only of ministers, peers
and members of parliament, bnt of
their relatives, friends and acquaint-
ances. While in ouo year early in the
queen's reign no less than 7,400,000
letters were franked, a single London
firm paid annually £11,000 for postage
and a writer in The Quarterly referred
flippantly to "so slight and rare an in-
cident in a laborer's life as the receipt
of a letter." Among the "packets"
franked was a grand piano. An army
of clerks was employed to fix the charges
to be collected, and the postal revenue
remained stationary between 1815 and
1885, although in the same period the j
population increased from 19,500,000 to I ,,r10' s

>ae«»n Elizabeth Might Hstc Lived Longer
Had She Taken Medicine.
Of the efficacy of physic Queen Eliza-
ieth had always been skeptical. Now,
10 or 13 physicians came to tho palace,
•ach promising, "with all manner of
\sseveration," "her perfect and easy
•eoovery" if she would follow a simple
jourse of treatment. But they spoke in
rain. Nor could the protests of council-
ors, divines and waiting women induce
her to accept medical assistance. Her
melancholy was "settled and irremov-
able," and she had no wish to prolong
it by lengthening out her life. She only
broke silence to murmur, "I am not
sick, I feel no pain aud yet I pine
away." She was asked whether she had
any secret .^use of grief. She replied
that she knew of nothing in the world
worthy cf troubling her. At length by
force (it is said) she was lifted from the
cushions anil put to bed. Her condition
underwent no change. Gradually those
about her realized that "sho might live
if she would use means," but that sho
would not l;e nersaaded, aud princes, as
they tearfully acknowledged, cannot lie
coerced. Nevertheless, until tho third
week they looki d forward to a renewal
of her old vivacity and the dispersal of
her lethargy. But during the week it
was perceived that the ground she had
lost could only be recovered by miracle.
On Wednesday, March 23, her coun-
cilors entered her bedchamber to receive
her last instructions. She had none to
give. The archbishop aud bishops offered
up prayer at her bedside aud she derived
some comfort from their ministrations.
In the evening she sank into a quiet
sleep, such as she had sought without
avail for nearly a mouth. She never
woke auain. "About 3 o'clock in the
morning of March 21 she departed this
life, mildly like a lamb, easily like a
ripe apple from the tree." When she
was examined after death, her phy
sicians reported that "she had a body
of firm and perfect constitution, likely
to have lived many years." Dea^i was,
in fact, prepared to the last to bargain
with her for a few more years of life,
but his t'-rms implied an enfeeblemeut
of those faculties on whose unrestricted
exercise her queenly fame seemed to her
to depend. By r<-fusing to be party to
the truce she invited her overthrow,
but she never acknowledged herself
vanquished. She made no will, she be
stowed no gift on any of the faithful at-
tendants who wept beside her deathbed,
and she declined to guide her council in
the choice of a successor.—Cornhill
Magazine.

Struck ont—By Gainesville 7,

The featnrts of the first game
were the splendid batting of
George Giddings and Briscoe, the
pitching of Sizemore and the
catching of Jamison; the fielding
of Connor and catching of Donald
of the Falls team.
The second game was played in
one hour and twenty minntes, and
there is no record of an amateur
game being played in less time.
Sizemore's pitching was the fea-
ture, together with the fielding of
Briscoe and the stick work of
George Giddings; for the Falls the
second base play of Fry and the
catching of Donald.
In the third game the Falls
made seven runs off Sizemore in
the first inning, due to errors of
the Gainesville team and the over-
work. Everett Giddings pitched
the next eight innings and in
seven of them not a rnn was
made. In the tenth Sizemore
went again in the box with the
score 13 to 11 in Gainesville's
favor and the Falls tied the score
by making two rnns. The feature
of this game was the hitting of
';7,<?more, Collins and Jamison for
Gainesville aud Fry for the Falls.

Moved by this state of things, parlia-
ment in 1839 adopted Rowland Hill's
proposal of uniform inland penny post-
age, which came into operation on Jan.
10, 1840. The writer possesses a copy of
The Quarterly Review of 1839, in which
a contributor (believed to be Croker)
fiercely denounces the scheme. "Will
clerks," he says, "write only to their
fathers and girls to their mothers? Will
not letters of romance or love, intrigue
or mischief, increase in at least equal
proportions? Wo doubt whether social
and domestic correspondence will bo
more than doubled. A gigantic exem-
plification of the old proverb—Penny
wise aud pound foolish," etc.
Macau lay says that the penny post,
when first established, was the object
of violent invective, as a manifest con-
trivance of the pope to enslave the souls
of Englishmen. It was described as
"sedition made easy." The postal au-
thorities, who is 1784 had opposed the
institution of mail coaches, were im-
placable enemies of penny postage. The
postmaster general of 1839, Lord Lich-
field, based his objections on the curi-
ous ground that the building at St. Mar-
tin's-le-Qrand would not be largo
enough. The secretary, Colonel Maber-
ly, constantly repeated, "This plan we
know will fail."
As we know, it succeeded, and the
penny rate has been generally adopted
in Europe as well as in the United
States. The number of letters rose from
80,000,000 in 1837 to 299,000,000 in
1847, aud for the year ending on March
31, 1897, rbout 1,900.000,000. The
postal surplus was in 1839 £1,659,510
and in 189t>-7 £3,632,133. The number
of letters, which was in 1837 about 8
per head and in 1854 15 per head, is
now 77 per head.—Fortnightly Review.
Hljfh Titles Without Cost.
English folk are copying the Ameri-
can custom of conferring titles upon
their children in baptism by using such
names as Lord. Earl, Baron, etc. This
will mean more to the English child
than it has to the American.
One parent in the midlands bestowed
on his progeny military as well as social
rank. One of his children is christened
Baron, another Captain, another Colonel
and another Major General. London
Truth has this statement from one who
knows this titled family, and they are
to be found at the present time in the
neighborhood of Birmingham. At this
rate every Tommy Atkins in the next
generation may be a field marshal.
Every Time.
Master—Tombs, this is an example
in subtraction. Seven boys went down
to a pond to bathe, but two of them
had been told not to go in the water.
Now, can you tell me how many went

at his apartments one evening
at the hotel where he lived during hi<
first term in congress and was in the re-
ception room with several friends while
lie was working in his office at the far
end of the suit of rooms. Presently he
camo out among r.s laughing and hold
ing in his hand a check.
" 'Oh,' he said to us, 'I am literary,
as well as you are, and here's a check
for $50 I have just got from a maga-
zine for an article that I wasn't expect-
ing to get anything for.'
"I told him I was not that literary,
for I couldn't sell oue article for $50,
and we laughed and chatted awhile
about it, Mr. Harter insisting that he
wasn't a writer for money, but for the
sake of presenting his views to the
world.
" 'I don't know what to do with the
check,' ho said and turned to his wife.
'Do you need it?' he asked her.
"She told him she did not, though
most women would have had use for it
quick enough, and he stood irresolute
for a moment, with the cluck in his
hand, then he smiled radiantly.
"'I know somebody who does want
it,' he said, nodding at his wife as if
she never would see it again. 'T received
a letter from the pastor of a little Lu-
theran church—Mr. H. was a zealoua
Lutheran—away out in Missouri, who
is having a very hard time to get along
and keep body and soul together, ask-
ing me if I couldn't do something. I
can send him this check.' Aud he danced
away u ith it as joyously as a schoolboy
with a plaything, and in a minute or
two the check, duly indorsed and ac-
companied by a letter, was waiting for
the postman to start it on its mission of
charity, and I have often wondered
what the business manager of that m£
aziue thought, when he found that cheek
to the order of M. D. Harter coming
back to New York from a little country
bank in Missouri."—Washington Star.
