THE SUCCULENT APPLE.-Prof. d. c.
Eaton, of Yale College, in a paper on
" Apples" read recently before the
Scientific Society of Bridgeport, said {:
"The first positive scientific demonsta-
ton of the existence of apple trees was
in the disclosure, made through very
low condition of the water, that apple
tree trunks formed part of the fOunda-
tions of the habitations of the lake
dwellers of Switzerland. This period,
as nearly as could be judged, was from
200 to 1000 years before Christ.
That the apple with which Eve was
tempted in the Garden of Eden, ac-
cording to the Scriptures, is the apple
of to-day, is uncertain, inasmuch as
the word anciently applied to the ap-
pie included the ounce and the pear.
Consequently Eve might have been
tempted by either of these latter fruits
The present apple was due to the eulti-
vation and development of the crab
apple, and the popularity of the apple
in its evolution is that the part now
valuable was simply the calix, thick.
ened and become fieshy, which had
formed around the original fruit OF
seeds. There are now about 900 vari
cites of apples, classified under not les
than 5000 names"

President Cleveland's Doctrine.

The strong and suggestive parts Of
the message might as we'll have been
written by Republican president, and
many weary but candid Democrat will
be ready to acknowledge the fact.
One of the most striking proofs of
this is Mr.. Cleveland's discussion of
the silver question and his recommen-
dations concerning the further coinage
of silver dollars. In this matter he
plants himself squarely upon Republi-
can ground. His divergence from the
attitude of his own party on this ques-
ton is evident, when it is remembered
that the last Democratic House, with a
majority of seventy-fve, refused to
take any steps towards checking the
dangers growing out of further coinage
of silver dollars, although Republican
President and Senate stood ready to
acquiesce in such action. To MAORI
ty of Southern and Western Democrats
the knowledge that Mr.. Cleveland per
sists in advocating Republican doctrine
on this issue will be a source OfprOfOuC
disappointment and a cause for Opposi
ton.
The discussion of the Mormon ques
ton in the message and the tacit ap
proval of the policy marked out by thu
Republicans in dealing with this viii
! be another source of embarrassment t
the Democrats. Their opposition t
the Edmunds bill, the most effective
measure yet passed for the eradication
of polygamy, must remain vividly i'm
pressed upon the Democratic mind.

it has failed utterly in the past to dea
in a statesmanlike manner with thi
problem, but, instead, has bent its en-
ergies solely towards embarrassing
political opponent.
But the point where the Presiden
diverges most widely from the polio
of his own party is in his treatment c
the civil service reform issue. The un
disguised hostility of the Democracy t
this reform has been a matter of publ
notoriety. So impatient was the part

MARKETING PoULTRY.-When killed
on the farm, poultry should be starved
thirty-six hours before killed. During
this time they should remain perfectly

the end of this time, the food will all
have been digested, and the bowels
will be empty, or nearly so. Then, if
they are hung up by the feet, bled by
the mouth, dry-picked while warm,
singed over an alcohol lamp fame, and
laid on table to cool, being formed up
nicely into shape, and wrapped OF
wound with strips of muslin to keep
them so while they cool; in twelve

A correspondent of the n. Y. Tribune
gives the following statement as ex-
planatOry of the common expression
Waving the Bloody Shirt" Few per-
sons seem to be acquainted with the
original or real significance of the ex-
preston "wave the bloody shirt,
which certain Democrats seek every
opportunity to hurl at the Republicans
as a reproach. The writer had the
story in 1871 from Richard Williams,
an old lawyer of Pekin, Illinois, form
erly president of Henry College, in
Kentucky, and a lifelong Democrat.
The incident occurred just before the
war, but the date and the name of the
criminal have both escaped me. A
murder had been committed in Pekin,
and Abraham Lincoln was employed
| to assist the District-AttOrney of Taze-
we'll county in the prosecution. In his
address to the jury Lincoln displayed
the neither garment of the murdered
man prOfusely stained with blood
The garment swayed back and forth
with his long arms, while pleading in
impassiOned tones, made an imposing
and dramatic scene. The murderer
was convicted. After the trail hi!

Rev. J. A. Wood was born in 1928 in
Western New York. At 10 years of age he
was converted and at Is he joined the
Methodist Episcopal church, of which he
has now been a member for forty-six years.
Concerning the early years of his Christian
life, he says: 81 was often perpleXed with
doubts concerning my conversion, arising
from my inability to tell the precise time
the change took place. The Lord removed
my doubts by showing me that to
know the precise time of my conversion
were of little importance while the great
question for me to settle was, Have I the
evidence that am now cOnverted?' ! en-
tered the ministry in 1877; did not accept
the doctrine Of Sanctiication until 1858,
when | became deeply impressed with my
need of higher Christian life. Before
then 1 had been bitter opponent of those
who taught specification, but at last was
compelled to accept it,
A few years ago Mr.. Wood, together with
Revs. Mcdonald and Gill, went around the
world on an evangelistic tour. They stopped
100 days in England and 100 in India. and
various lengths of time at other places. He
is the author of a work called Perfect
Love-" of which over $4,000 copies have
been sold. He is also the author of a work
called Purity and Maturity" of which
over 1000 copies have been sold. Mr..
Wood is at present pastor of church at
North Attleboro, Mass. He has been more
or less engaged in the evangelistic work for
fifteen years.

AN ALLEGED CON MAN,
Who Says His Name is VILLA ms.
Brought to 81. Paul.

A real, live icon" man, if allegations be
true, was exhibited in the ST. Paul municipal
court yesterday afternoon. He was brought
here by Detective Casey from Minneapolis,
where he was captured by Detective Quinlan
on Monday. He gives the name of G. w.
Wilson, and if the letters on his breastpin
and cuff-buttOns are any criterion that is
correct. He is quite an Ordinary-lO0king
individual, neatly dressed, but wears re-
cently-adopted style of ladies' collar which
ill-becomes him. He is charged with COM
ing the icon" act on an old man named II.
M. Curtlss, while both were passengers on
the Milwaukee train between st. Paul and
Minneapolis. The facts of the case have
already been given in the GLOBE. Wilson,
it is stated, gave check on the Bank of
Minneapolis for $500, in receipt
for which he received $11S
in cash. When arrested, Curtiss
identified him as the person who played him
for what he had, but Wilson says ''the old
man is mistaken" and that he can prove an
alibi. He asked that the case be continued
until he could send to Logansport and Chi
cago for witnesses. He was asked for
names, but would only give one at this place.
BY consent of County Attorney Egan the
case was continued until this morn
ing to give Wilson time to
procure counsel. He is looked upon as a
smooth duck" but will be pushed for what
the OffenSe is worth.

CLASS DAY. HIGH SCHOOL.
The Interesting Program Well Car.
ried Out.

The capacity of the assembly hall of the
high school was fully taxed yesterday
afternoon by an audience eager to witness
the class-day exercises of the graduating
class. The room was tastefully decorated
with flags and evergreens, and at either side
of the platform were banners inscribed with
the notices of the retiring and incoming
seniors, Onward and Upward being that of
'S5 and Esto Quod Videris that of 's6.
The opening number of the program was
waltz, performed by the high school Or
chestra with considerable taste and SKILL
during which the members of the class,
sixteen of them, divided equally as to gen.
der, assembled the stage. 1t was noticed
that the boys were manly and the girls
sweet. The music ceaSing, Mr.. J. D.
Armstrong, the president of the class,
made the opening address, referring, of
course, to the mingling emotions with which
the graduates approached the close of their
course. He then presented to the class of
$50 the historic knife, which is handed
down from one generation to another. With
this knife, he said, the class had inscribed
its names on the walls of fame, and like

lated how the class had planted vine to
adorn the walls of its alma mater, and pro-
ceeded to draw some good moral lessons

Eight of the boys of the younger classes
sang dirge to the tune of Bingo, in which
they commemorated the virtue of the boys
and the beauty of the girls of the retiring
class.
The poem read by Miss Hattie Golfer was
sufficiently sentimental. and was followed
by Bertha Robbins, who, in choice language,
expressed some lessons drawn from the
class motto, Upward and Onward.
In addressing the lower classes, Miss Hat
tie Robbins expressed grave fears as to what
would become of ''these little children
after 'S5 had gone, on whose shoulders had
reposed SO long the responsibility of setting
a good example to the younger children.
