Whatever the alliances, the inclinations and = com- plications, the world has wearied of war dnd its aflictions. The prayer of the heart has been that the great spirit of eternal peace would brood over the contending powers and make for their reconciliation. Little Japan stands out the won: der of the age.

Japan's abandonment of the great is- sues--those which made the Russian diplomats and their superiors sweat blood while the tension lasted--shows what a remarkable rare they are. Gifted with great genius, with a courage and audacity without a parallel, with all the favours on its side and all the nd- vantages in a critical period, it dis plays a most generous and magnani- mous mood. The diplomats may remain as long as they like in Portsmouth, in the elaboration of a treaty. Their task will be light, and free from anxiety and cankering care. The Japanese plenipotentiaries will smoke their cig- arettes and look on with a merry twinkle of the eyes while the clerical stafi-put into shape the ponderous document that: winds up the greatest war of the century.

GANG : sand Women Within Ten Years--One Married One Hun- ; men. y New York, Aug. 30f--Investigation of he ma marital exploits of Dr, 1 George Witzhoff, bigamist, revealed that there is"an organtzed bandon the east side, nun ing seventy-five mem- bers, who last ten years have more than LOO young women for" their savings, deserting them wi "@ few days or weeks, ac- cording to the length of time it took to. eajole them out of their money. The head of this combine is known as Harry Ki 3, and when arrested and ghed in the Essex Market court two years ago he was confront ed by twenty-six women who claimed him for husband. Dr. Witzhoff, whose matrimonial ex- ploits were unearthed through the efforts of 8 Dora Dori, whom he married un: the name of Weston, joined the organization six years ago, and immediately became one of its ringléaders by reason of his pleasing address, bis accomplishments, © and the fact that he could speak six or soven languages, and woo in all of them. It was found through one of hix earliest wives, Mrs. Sophie Youcker, of No.. 205 Broome street, that Wita- hoff has married more than thirty young women whose names are known, and probably is the husband of more than one hundred Fast Side girls, in addition to the wives he married in other cities. LOCAL CROP CONDITIONS. Heavy Rains Have Meant Losses to the Farmers. Heavy rains of the past few weeks have robbed farmers of the surround. ing district of hundreds of thousands of dollars, This is the opinion 'of H.W. Richardson, who is one of the best-in- formed men in Canada on erop condi- tions, The earlier part of the season was propitious for a bountiful har- vest; prices were good, and farmers were counting on profits that would very materially increase their bank ac counts, but a surfeit of rain has up- set their caletilations, because crops have not 'matured in keeping with early promises: Mr. Richardson's re- Dore of crop cotditions are given he- wo: wi THES 3 The « main' orop in this district is made up of barley and oats; very lit- tle wheat is grown, Barley is an average crop, though it has been badly damaged and color ed by the preponderance of rain. 'Oats, three weeks ago, promised an abundant. yield, but, like other grains, has suffered ly "from rain. The vield has been "fidnoed' from thirty to forty per cent: and farmers must have fine, wats: weather in order to harvest the balance, Fall wheat--what little has been sown--is only "sixty per cent. of the possible crop, but what remains is of good quality, Spring wheat' promises to harvest an average crop, and, providing the weather contintes fine imtil the grain is cut, it niay'be saved in good con- dition, but from the present outlook this is very doubtful, Only a small acreage of peas is sown in this district, and it is ques tionable if the crop will be an aver age one; most of it iw still in the field, and it will be remarkable if late rains wii wot cause the pods to burst, and thus a great portion will be lost in harvesting. Buckwheat looks. well, and will be harvested three or four weeks hence, but frost may seriously upset calcul- ations as to possible yield. Owing to the wet spring a great deal of corn failed to germinate, anc whole fields had to be replanted. The crop requires hot weather from this out in order {0 mattre, but at that, the yield will not be greater than fifty to sixty per cent. Hay has been an exceptionally heavy crop, but only about fifty per cent. of it has been saved in first class con dition, while thirty per ent. has been gathered in a damaged state, probably unfit for shipping, while twenty per | LIGHTNING KILLS CATTLE. Newburgh School Starts Out Well. - Newburgh, Aug. 29.--In writing of the attendance at the high school, last year, your correspondent was in error.

Grand Dukes Afraid to Face Foe and Plead Illness. Paris, Aug. 29.--Grand Dukes Alex- is, Boris, Kyrill and others living here and on the Riviera sent another batch of medical certificates to Russia, say- ing that the state of their health does not allow them to return at present to the bombs and meat pots 'of Holy Rus- sia. The precantion was necessary be- cause the Russian law says that im jerial highnesses that do not spend at least two months out of every twelve witkin the radius of pistols, poison and explosives, 'must forego their ap- panage of four million dollars per an- num. But, of course, if a grand duke is sick, that makes a difference, Your correspondent had occasion meet frequently, of late, in places public resort, Grand Duke Alexis, one of these 'ick men." Up to a month ago, Alexis was high lord admiral of the Russian navy, which was used as a quarry by him for tens of years. He to of cent. has heen lost and wasted. So far potatoes look all right, but too much rain will have a tendency to indice rof. Fortunately, however, the farmers of | this district do not depend upon grain | growing, for a livelihood, but rather, upon cattle raising and dairying. On | account of the = high prices of cheese, and butter, coupled with the high rate: received for pork, farmers should have more than an average season, as far as profits are concerned, and shonld he able to keep over the winter, in the best condition, all stock on hand. They have large quantities of hay on hand for which they will he wn- able to find market, and this must be fed on the farm. i i Sunday-Sehool Picnic. Lake Opinicon, "Aug. 28.
