CRAZN FoR PUMPKIN PIE.
A Scarcity of the Vegetable Leads to a
Ginger aud Flour AdulteratiOn.
IRON, the Ee,O York star.


From tho Eeao York Star.
Ten or fifteen years ago pumpkin pie
was eyed with suspicion. New Workers had
read of the big pumpkin that hit Ichabod
Crane up in Sleepy Hollow, when his
horse got scared. New Workers. merely
thought that pumpkins were made to hit
people with or else for jack-o' lanterns.
But all that has changed. The people
have altered their opinion about pump
kins, as we'll as about great many other
good things, and society has got so it
can't get along without pumpkin pie any
more than it could get along without ele-
waited railroads or church fairs. One
thing is certain, and that is that there are
hundred times as many pumpkins
eaten here now as when, for in
stance, young men who cast their
first vote for Cleveland were boys. 1t
is surprising how many pumpkins are
sold every year In Washington market.
An old vegetable man, who furnished
green stun for all the swell families forty
years ago, started to figure out an esti-
mate for reporter recently. After a
painful and labOrious effort, in which he
put down a row OF figures as long as a
broom handle. the huckster gave il up.
lie only knew that he had handled 10, 900
pumpkins himself last year, and that
there were dozens Of others in the mar
kets who had sold pumpkins, too. This
did not include the thousands OF green
grocers around town who import the veg
etable from Jersey and Long Island.
Then, besides, there are people who get
pumpkins direct from country cousins
who run farms up in Orange county and
as FAR west as Oneida.
In a little square room back OF q down
town pie bakers shop the reporter count
ed 80 blooming pumpkins last night.
They were yellow, fat, round, aud lus-
cious. They will be turned into pies
before tomorrow night and scattered all
said he usually used up 500 pumpkins a
week, and at that rate there sometimes
were not half enough TO 90 around.
he never saw such crsze for pumpkin
pie, he said, and every year things were
getting worse. Even mlnce pie-which,
ever since Diedrick Hudson got up a big
feast for his spinster daughters best
young man, has more than held its own
has gradually begun to wane as compared
with the demand for pumpkin pie. II
things didn't change soon, the boss baker
said, there wouldn't be pumpkins enough
In America to supply New York alone
A restaurant man said that pie8cbtiId

Surprise at some unexpected results OF
the November elections has prevented the
bestowal of proper attention on the Prohi-
billion vote. It was at first thought that
this vote had fallen of to such an extent
that II did not promise to be an important
factor I'm 'Ss. But there Is no falling of.
On the contrary there Is an increase in
localities where II is least desired by those
who desire Republican success.
The New York ErcRiDg Post is one OF
those unrelentlng enemies OF the Republican
party from whom It is possible to get use
full lessons. That paper has been looking
after the Prohibition contingent OF the
Democratic party and finds that
Instead Of losing strength, the Prohibitlonisls
have made gains in nearly or quite every state
in the Union in which they have party or.
ganization. Returns of the votes for their
candidates are still slow in coming to hand,
but enough have been received to Indicate
that the vote which the party gave to 81. John
In 1884 has been more than doubled this year.
We give in the following table the vote as II
has been cast in the two previous years In the
principal eastern, middle, and western states,
together with that f this year, so far as 1t has
| been received. Most OF this years figures are
| semiOfcial, and are not likely to vary much
| from those Of the official count Those for
