IT seems almost incredible, but is
nevertheless, stated as fact, that after
the recent terrible theater panic at Liver
pool, by which over score of people
lost their lives, the proprietor of the

of opening the doors as usual and giving
the customary performance. The indig-
nation which this proposal awakened was
intense, and there were threats of wreck
ing the house if a performance was
there attempted within "A hours of SO

danger the mayor forbade the opening of
the house and the manager finally ac-

Boston papers say that the apple crop
now being gathered in the central nd
eastern counties in Massachusetts is SIM
ply enormous, the trees being laden to
the ground with fruit. In the first men,
toned counties the crop is the largest
for many years, and the farmers, in
gathering 1t, find in some cases that their
products are double what they expected.
Consequently the price obtained for the
fruit Is very low. They are being pur-
chased at important points for shipping
to England and various parts of the
United States for from 81 to 1925 per
barrel. The poorer quality of apples are
being sold for making cider at 10 cents
per bushel.

The Misfortune of Memphis.

For nearly ninety days there has been
no business In Memphis except to pass
out with a liberal hand the charitable
contributions of the world to the sick
and destitute, The stores and ware
houses on Main and Front and other
streets have been closed. The goods
owned by the tenants of those stores in
many instances have deprecated in value
to less than their first cost. The men
who own those buildings-some of them
mllllonaires-Owe one duty to sufferers
IN the great calamity, aud that is to
caDcel the rents due during the period
OF the epidemic. The majority of the
property owners have resided in safe
places. We have no doubt they will all
have the manhood to stand up and bear
share of the common calamity. Resi-
dence property should also be exempt
from the collection of rents during the
same period. 1t is safe to say that the
mass OF refuge tenants have found it a
difficult matter to obtain food, without
the additional burden of paying rents
for houses which they have not occupied.
The men who stood in Memphis facing
death every hour of their lives do not
expect to receive any reward this side of
heaven. But they believe the rich citi-
zens will give, in some form, slight
pecunlary tribute to alleviate the gener-
al restitution.
After the death and burial of our
friends, the next sad fact is the destitute
condition of our poor whites, who are
too proud to apply for relief. Some
have large families. They will suffer
the pangs of hunger and starve before
they will apply for charity. Many of
them were once well-to-do, or living
comfortably, en- good salaries or in Off
clal positions. There does not seem to be
any remedy. Suffer and be strongn is
their only Observation-Disclosures AuQ-
ldnche.
