The Apple Crop of 1883.

From all the information we can
gather and from our own observations,
we conclude that the apple crop of
Western New York, will prove as
complete a failure this year as last
This year, the promise was very
light, but a small proportion of the
apple trees blooming, and those not
very full There was an almost en-
tire absence of bloom from the great
leading market apple of Western New
York-the Baldwin. AS light as the
first promise was, the second was
much poorer. There was evidently
something that prevented formulation
Although there were many hours of
rain during the few days in which
apples were in bloom, there were GER
tainly two or three days when there
were only light showers of short dura-
ton. We must conclude, if too much
rain was the cause of failure. that the
pollen was fully ripe during the pro
tracted rain storms, and that it had
lost its vitality before it became dry
enough for distribution.
The great cause of the failure of the
apple crop of 1888, we suspect, was
the unfavorable season of 1882, for
forming fruit buds The swarms Of
aphis in early and midsummer arres-
ted the growth of wood, and the later
growth formed leaf-buds instead of
fruit-b buds. We have now had three
successive failures of the apple crop
in Western New York, involving a
loss to our farmers of many millions
of dollars. This is discouraging, but
failures may not occur again for
many years.

linen collars were worth their weight

price of laundrying with the cost of

"The paper collar never looked as

Then, too, the doctors began to swear
that the paper collars poisoned the
skin on the neck, and that helped
things when the down-hill part of the
road was reached. For the last ten
years few of them have been sold,
and in the last five you might say
none. The day of the paper collar

The President Afraid He Would Get Drunk
WASHINGTON, March 27.-An evening
paper says that when the President first
proposed his junkettng trip to Fortress
Monroe and Florida, he invited every
member of the Cabinet, as a matter of
courtesy, except Brewster, Attorney
General. 1t now leaks out that the Pres
ident did not want the bibulous AttOr-
ney General because of his well known
weakness for "tanking up" when out on
trips of this kind---He remembers to his
sorrow and disgust the famous York
town pilgrimage, when the old man got
on his high horse and made Rome howl
with his funny antics. Some Of Brews-
ter's friends, 1t is understood, have ap
pealed to the President to reconsider his
decision not to let the Attorney General

the newspapers announce that he was
invited. The President, however, re-
mains firm, and will on no account let
the old man share in this trip at least.

Extensive Crash of q Business House
-.. Other Failures. ..#.
PITTSBURGH, March 27.zThe failure
of G. p. MaTkle g Co., the largest paper
manufacturers in western PennsylVa-
MIA, has caused much sensation, not
alone because the house was supposed
TO be solid financially, but also because
it was brought about through the reck-
lessness of the principal member of the
firm. G. G. Markle. The firm had been
losing money on their wood pulp mill at
MarbletOn, but were strong enough to
stand 1t. They also lost about $50, 600
by the failure Of Taylor in Chicago, but
that even would not have hurt the Mar
kles. The real cause Of the failure Is at
tributable to the riOtOus and reckless
life of G. G. Markle. He has been spend
ing immense sums on women and wine,
thereby crippling the firm. Still the
firm would have been able to meet all
claims as they became due, had 1t not
been that on Thursday Q. G. Markle took
a notion to go on trip to Chicago, and
drew every dollar of the firms money
on deposit in the banks, amounting to
about 100000. This left nothing to
pay bills with, and an assignment was
decided upon, which was made today,
Jesse II. Lippineott being the assignee.
After the meeting of the creditors today
an official statement was made for pub
licatiOn, which was furnished the news
papers. a.u..-..
The firm was organized in 1929, and
was then composed of two brothers, 8.
B. and G. P. Markle, which continued for
more than half century. The late firm,
composed of Gen. G. P. Markle, his two
sons, Cassius G. and Sheppard B., was
dissolved last October by the death Of
the father. Their business was the most
extensive in the paper manufacturing
line in Western Pennsylvania. Two
large mills, together with several thou
sand acres of timber lands, they have
invested nearly 100000. In addition
they have extensive coke works with
273 ovens. The Bessemer Coke Works
they own entire, and have half inter-
est in the Rising Sun. They also have
600 acres Of valuable farming lands, all
underlaid with coal, near West Newton.
Their property Is not eneumbered, ex-
cept to small extent, and their credit
always stood high. -srsa1

the night became much worse, and his
son and daughter at Washington were

Howe was born in Maine in 1915.
His career has been a prominent one
during the greater part Of his life. He

was elected Judge of the Circuit and
Supreme Courts, and in 1861 was elect

served for eighteen years, being defeat
