VARIETY IN FRUIT CULTURE.
1t is Not Safe to Put All Ones Eggs
in One Basket.
Fron. "a Lona1oood Rep,.blcan.


The most important lesson which the
fruit growers of Florida can learn from
the severe experience of the past winter
is that it is not safe to put all their eggs
in one basket. The crop of oranges was
in large part lost and the trees injured so
that it Will take another year for them to
recover and regain their former bearing
capacity. The guaVas were generally
killed to the ground md Will bear nothing
this summer, although they are putting
up new growth from the roots AMI if not
killed again next winter will bear next
summer again. Much loss has been SUI
fered also in bananas and pineapples, and
in early vegetables.
Now for the other side of the picture.
Enormous quantities of Strawberries have
been shipped and have brought good
prices, The mulberry trees have yielded
az exceptional crop, and this fruit is ca
pable OF being made of much greater
value than it has been yet, both to ship
fresh and for preserving. Peaches and
pears are everywhere reported as bearing
this year more than ever before. Vege-
tables planted late enough to escape the
trosts have still been in time to command
good prices-all the better because not
fOrestaled by those that were lost.
The point we wish to call attention to is
that the same conditions, which are iniu-
rlous to one crop, may be beneficial to
others; and so the man who raises both
oranges and peaches, tor instance, while
he will not make SO much in warm wear
as if he had ali oranges, nor in a cold year
so much as il he had all peaches, will
never i'll any year be without anything,
nor even very short, because even where
the one crop Is only partly lost the differ
ence in conditions will be enough to in
crease the other in the same proportion,
thus keeping up "A much better average
than If only one crop is raised. The same
argument applies to the raising of three
crops instead OF TWO, although there is of
course limit. according to the extent OF
mans resources, to the number Of irons
he can probably keep in the fire at once
W nat we want TO avoid is the possibility
of ever being caught. as thousands have
been this year, by the loss OF "a eros, which
they depended on fora large share OF their
years income, and consequently being
obliged TO borrow money to get through
the year, without any certainty OF sufh-
Gent surplus the next year TO pay the
debt. There is no reason for this state Of
things, except the mistake OF having only
one crop to depend on.

IN THE RAIN WAY WORLD.
Items Gathered Along the Track
and CrOssties.


and Crossties.
A New York man has got out an inven-
ton that he thinks has millions in it. 1t
is paper railroad tie. He has spent sew
eral years in perfectlng his work. Elk
hibiting the tie the other day, he said:
IL is made of paper, which believe is to
enter to large extent in all building op-
eratjons at no distant day. The great enc
my to the use OF paper for many things is
moisture, and in my invention, of course,
means had to be discovered TO prevent
dampness from having the slightest effect,
as railroad tie being in the ground is
subjected constantly TO it, and a rotten tie
might cause the loss of many lives aud
much property. The process Of manutac-
ture Is recent, TO a certain extent,
but the tie is absolutely fire and
water proof. There; l Will throw
piece of the prepared paper into
the fire. You see it will not burn.
l have submerged it for weeks
and months in both hot and cold
water and the moisture has never been
found inside the surface. Consequently
it cannot rot. Though apparently as hard
as Iron, an ordinary spike can be driven
into it without difficulty, and when the
spike is IN position The material is OF such
a nature that it closes around the iron
and holds it 30 firmly ttat it can never be
shaken loose. There Is also a certain
amount Of spring in the tie, and when
there is load on it it operates as sort
OF cushion, ana takes away certain
amount Of jar from running cars. Under
certain conditions, by slightly altering
the combination of materials, the paper
can be made 50 hard that it Will turn the
edge Of the hardest tool without being
more than scratched. The ordinary
wooden tie will last about i've years un-
der the most favorable conditions, while
this paper tie viii stand any kind OF
weather for at least thirty years.

FATHER or BASE BAIL.
The Man Who Built Up the Ameri-
can National Game.

The man to whom the American faYorlte
pastime owes its promotion and develop
ment is the veteran journalist, Henry
Chadwick, Of Brooklyn. He is better
known as Father Chadwick, and is popu-
larly referred to throughout the country
as the founder Of the national game. Mr..
chadwick does not lay claim to being the
founder OF base bail, but the game, under
his fostering care, grew from a crude sport
to the mostpopular outdoor pastime in the
world, and now has an enthusiastic fol-
lowing OF millions of people.
All the improvements made in the game
in its early days We're suggested by Mr..
Chadwick. He was then referred to as
the authority" and that title still clings
to him. During the past twenty years he
mas written complete library Of books
referring to cricket, base ball and kindred
sports.
MIR. Chadwick was born in England in
1924, and is therefore 62 years old. Heis
over 6 feet tall and mas an imposing ap
pearance. HIS father was an English
journalist, being the editor Of the Western
Times. He is also a brother of Sir Edwin
Chadwick, the great English sanitary
philosopher.
Mr.. Chadwick tells his own account OF
how he first became interested in the ma
when on returning from a cricket match
at HOboken, CHANGED 10 20 through the
Elysan Fields where the famous Eagle
ana Gotham clubs We're playing an eX-
citing game Of base bail. The contest
was sharply played on both sides and |
watched it with deeper interest than any
previous match | had ever seen. 1t
was then that l reflected that
base ball was the future American
sport, aud on my return home | came TO
the conclusion that this game of ball was
the powerful lever by means of which our
people could be lifted into position Of
more devotion to physical exercise and
healthiul outdoor recreation. From that
period became devoted admrer OF base
ball, and have devoted my Efforts to los
tering it in every possible way. The OBJ
Ject | had in view was to build up a
national game for the Americans such as
cricket was for England"
During Mr.. Chadwick's connection with
base ball he revised and improved the
playing rules and directed The movements
of the Old National Association, up to the
time of the Inauguration of the profess
slonal system OF ball playing, when, alter
seeing the National League organized, ne
retired from further personal work In con-
nectiOn with the association conventions.
He had seen the fruits of his early
labors develop into game fully
established as the great popular
field sport OF the country. Mr.. Chadwick
is the unreenting foe of all the abuses
which have worked their way into the
professional base ball arena. He has no
mercy on base ball ''crooks," no sympa-
thy for drunken players, and is the natu-
raj toe to that curse of all sports, pool
gambling. OF late he has begun a crusade
against those great nuisances Of the dia-
mond, the chronic kickers and grumbers.

~ MARRIED LIFE.
TIC Way the Fords Pictured Ii on
the Stage.

married Life" was the title OF the play
in which the Fords appeared last night.
They had a large audience TO witness the
performance, and it was an audience that
aid not hesitate to laugh. The purpose
Of the piece is 10 show few types Of
welded lite. Dramatic license allowed
Xaggeratiun, and, as seen I'm the play,
the types, il is to be hoped, were carica-
lures Tuey were amusing, however, and
If laughter induces cOrpuiencN. then the
av0Irdupois OF the audience Will be IN
creased.
There were five couples, and not one
pair seemed altogether rightly mated.
"Alr. and Mrs. samuel COddle' were Of
opposite temperamputs on the question OF
temperature. "COddle' was eternally
cold and shiyering with one foot in con-
sumpuye's grave. Mrs. Coddle" could
not exist without plenty Of air
MIR. Lionel Lynx" was perhaps tiirt.
Mrs. Lynx" said he was, but she was OF
an extremely jealous nature MI and
Mrs. Frederick Gounghusb band had
proueness tor coutradcting each other.
Mr.. aad Mrs. George Dismal" were as
luuubrious as funeral. In the house
hold Of "Mr. and Mrs. Henry Doye' the
latter wore the tiguratiye trousers.
The parts were all we'll played Dir.
Larry Doyle As Dove was greeted with
roars OF laughter when he stepped on the
stage, the picture OF tue meekest Of hus-
bands About the middle of the play all
ot toe husbands concluded to leave their
wives on account OF domestic uqhappi-
ness Tweuty-four hours OF absence was
all any OF them could endure, and when
the pairs reunited each promised 70 do
better IN the future.
Miss Mary Wilkes AZ Mrs. Samuel
Codile" was very good, though her hus-
band could not get her to close doors and
windows.
Mrs. Lionel Lynx" Miss T. Farrar,
was well played, the part being that OF a
Jealous wife.
Miss Fanny Jackson did capitally as
Mrs. Dove and Miss Rosa LaEgdoH
made her part anything but dismal for
the spectators.
Miss Minnie Du Pree played her part
for all there was in it, and as a rule MRS.
Frederick lounghusband' took the stu
atiOns away from the others. Her acting
was especially clever.
Mr.. Horace NInton bore up herOically
under heavy wraps and, while he pre-
tended to be 5hlvering with cold, he was
certainly suffering from the other eX-
IRENE, and the perspiration was threaten
ing the rouge. MIR. Vinton, as "CO1dle;'
Mr.. Lawrence Hanley, as" Lionel LYNX"
Mr. Joseph Doyle, as "IOuuRhusband; :"
Mr.. Larry Doyle, as Dove" and Mr..
William Fleming, as DISMAL" were all
good.
The play was as successful az any the
FOrds have yet given, and the audience
was well pleased. Married Lite" VIII
he repeated tonight.

RICH CHICAGO WOMEN.
Mrs. Pullman the Handsomest-MrS.
Palmer the Grandest Looking.
From the Chjc1go Mail.

Prom the Chjcrgo Nal.
or the wives Of the Chicago mlIlionalres
Mrs. George Nj. Pullman Is the hand
soonest OF the matrons. She was Miss
Sanger, daughter of a partner of w. b.
Howard when the contracting firm OF
Howard, Sanger & Co. was in existence.
The engagement had existed some time
before MIR. Sanger's death, but the we'd
ding took place In his presence while he
was on mis- death bed. Mrs. Pullman Is a
beauty now Of the luXurtant brunette
type. At the great Chicago sanitary FAIR
she and a daughter of the late Editor VIII
son, OF the Journal, were voted the hand
soonest women in Chicago.
Mrs. Charles L. Hutchinson is beau
tiiul woman Of an altogether different
style. She is bright, petite, and still IN
the beginning Of the tWeuties.
The beautiful Thompson girls are all
now married to rich men. Two OF them,
Mrs. John T. Lester and Mrs. sam Aller-
ton, preside over the elegant homes OF
mlliIOnaires.
Mrs. G. A. Mum, with 100000 now
in her own right, was a Miss Gunner. She
is tai! and stately and elegant looking.
She was left $3,U00,0O0 by her deceased
husband, ii. .. Armour, aud carried the
fortune 10 her present husband, the
nephew OF David DOws.
Mrs. Marshall Fed. a quiet, rather
queeniy looking woman, with a lace of
great refinement. was a Miss Scott, of
Cincinnati. Her family was Of excellent
social station.
Mrs. Potter Palmer would divide with
Mrs. Pullman any laurels for beauty ii
they should ever come in contact. While
they are both Of the same type, the char
acter Of their beauty Is very different.
Mrs. Pullman is the sweeter and Mrs.
Palmer the gTander looking. The latter
was a Miss HOnOre, a daughter OF the
whiOm millionaire real estate holder and
speculatOr. His daughters were con-
sidered the bellies Of the city. One mar
ried Col. Fred Grant, the other Millionaire
Potter Palmer. The other now presIdes
over the most magnificent home in the
city, and the most magnificent, probably
with one exception, in the West.
Mrs. p. d. Armour is bright-faced,
youthful looking woman, with an inter
esting face and attractive manners. She
is brunette, rather petite, and a plain
though elegant dresser. Her maiden
name was Ogden, aud her family was one
OF wealth and excellent standing. Her
time is given almost altogether to her
home and to charitable duties. In these
sue takes great pleasure. One would
never believe on seeing her that so young
looking a woman had a son the active
partner Of his father in the great firm of
Armour IL 60.
Mrs. Cyrus X. Mccormick, the richest
widow IN America, ana worth not less
than $10,000,000, was a Miss Fowler, of
Detroit.
There were three Chicago women who
were sisters of Michael Reese, the Cali
fOrnan who left 100000. They each,
think, Inherited two-elevenths of his
fortune. These were the deceased Mrs.
Il. A. kohn, Mrs. Rosenteld, and Mrs.
Rosenberg. Their husbands were Million
aires in their own right.

Box for ChArleston-The League Meet
Ing.
over 1000 people went out to the ball
grounds yesterday TO see the second game
OF the present series between Atlanta and
Savannah. The weather was threatening
or the crowd would probably have been
much larger. The field was wet from the
rain that fell early in the afternoon, but
sand was spread over the sticky clay on
the base lines ana in the catcher's field,
and everything was got ready for the
game. Both teams were on the grounds
practicing. The score cards were gwen
out and the scorers in the audience got
their pencils ready.
Five minutes before the hour of calling
the game a slight drilling rain began
falling. The umpire waited ten minutes
after the time and then declared the game
postponed. The players were still in the
neld practcinR. The rain was not hard
enough to drive them under shelter. Ten
minutes later the clouds lifted and Ine
rain stopped, but the players, some OF
them said the ground was TOO wet 10 play.
The crowd was given rain checks and left
the grounds. About half wondered what
the matter was.
The game to-day will probably draw the
largest crowd yet if the weather IS pleas
ant. MOriarlty and Gillen were an
n0unced as the home battery yesterday,
and Wells and Gunson were in for the
visitors. Both batteries VIII probably he

The withdrawal of Chattanooga and the
action Of the league directors last night
in counting back games with retiring
clubs to an even series lowers Savannah's
standing in the league. Her percentage
Of games won yesterday was SOB.
Atlanta's percentage was .57l, and
Nashville's last night was .566. II the
three games that Savannah won and the
one she lost to Chattanooga in the last Sc
ries be counted off, her standing is .5S3-
still higher than that of any other club.
II the two deferred games that were
played here with Chattanooga this
week are also counted Off as not having
been played previous TO the beginning of
the last series, then SaVannHh's per
centage is reduced to .543 and it puts her
fourth in the race, Macon being
third, with percentage of .547. There is
"A question about the construction of the
resolution in regard to deferred games.
