pound. Any one who has had occasion
TO taste and compare the French prune
with the Turkish will readily admit
thls TACT, as the former are
more meaty, as well as being free
from stalks, leaves and dirt. Besides the
great difference in quality, the French
prune is packed In better shape, being
put up IN more handy style of keg, con-
tanning $50 to 100 pounds, instead of
large, unwieldy hogsheads, which has
oeen the usual plan with the Turks. The
rfencn pruneS do not exceed ITO to l15 to
the pound, and therefore have less hard
PITS, or stones, as they are called. So
Juicy and sweet is the fruit that in cook
ing ltrequires about one-half the quantity
OF sugar which is necessary to make the
sour turkish fruit palataDle, and in this
way III becomes saving to housekeepers
VINO use the fruit in any quantity. 1t is
therefore very likely that far larger sale
VIII be secured this season for the French
Irult TO the disadvantage of the Turkish.
Inc French prunes are all grown in two
departments of the south of France,
known as 'Le Lot" and lies Lot ct Ga
rome" The departments adJoin one
another and cover an area of about
twenty-five by ten miles. Most OF this
large tract of land Is covered with prune
trees, and year by year the number OF
1900
ones have been killed by the phylloxera.
Finding that good export demand can
now be obtained for the fruit young trees
are Immediately planted as the old ones
die out. The planting has been SO
arranged as TO age that a continuous crop
may be assured year after year. 1t takes
about ten years for prune tree to
grow to perfection, SO as to pro-
duce GOOD supply of fruit; but the
French growers, finding that they can
secure sure and lucrative return, have
latterly devoted themselves to the proper
planting of the trees and culture of the
fruit. The result has been that the crop
OF the French prune has become larger
and larger every year, and this season it
mas really been abundant. 1t is the first
time that the French prune has had an op-
portunity of driving the Turkish prune
from all outside markets where there is
any demand for the fruit, either in the
shape OF luxury or necessity, and will
continue to do so while the Turks are so
negligent in the cultivation, gathering,
and packing of their own product.

ALL ABOUT PRIMES.
The French Fruit Driving Out the
Turkish.

In great many families stewed prunes
are familiar article OF diet. So large is
the demand for this fruit that from $50, 600
tO0OO,OOO pounds are brought to New York
every year. They vary in size from 40 TO
Leu to the pound. The former size may be
considered a dellcacy, while the latter is
ssIhecesslty. The larger prunes are called
lmperlals," and command high price.
o1 mis- account they may be considered
luxury to the masses. But the smaller
Vhes, on account of their cheapness, are
brought into general use, and, as they are
considered by the majority of housekeep-
eIs healthy article OF food, the demand
is great. Any improvement IN their pro-
AUCTION and quality Is therefore matter
VI interest 70 those who have the duty OF
furnishing supplies for the table. Here
.olore Turkey has held the sway in the
production of the smaller and cheaper
Prune, France, although a large pro-
uucer, was held In the background in con-
o. .quehce or the higher price charged IN
Iuat country for the smaller and general
~ used fruit, which was comparatively
searce, although holding the prestige for
sue larger aud more luxurious class
AhOwn as the imperial. The Turkish
growers have, however, failed to consider
H0 requirements OF the OUTSIDE markets,
ana when they packed the fruit for
sulpment also included the stems and
many OF the leaves. Sometimes dirt,
winch may cling to the fruit In gather
rug, would also be included. This was
very annoying to importers and became a
,oss TO the retail dealer, who would often
W compelled to clean the fruit before he
SSould sell Ii to the consumer. IL was also
ury and hard, while the French fruit Is
90 solt and juicy. The result has been that
t su turkish prune has been nearly driven
tLOn the market this season by those
rom France, where a bountitul crop has
oeeh produced this year. The quantity of
,, ny French prunes 10 80 much larger

Buffalo, ". Y. dhpateh TO N Y Times.
A remarkable case is pending before
the Supreme Court OF this city which
presents several p~erple1ing problems,
among them the question, Can q former
slave inherit property The suit, which
is one Of a series, is brought by Albert NJ.
Thomas, colored, formerly a slave, to re-
cover valuable real estate In this city, now
held by other parties, but once the pro,
perty Of Thomas father, who escaped
from slavery to this city. The plaintiff Is
a colored man OF considerable ability. The
defense claims that he Is not the legitl.
mate son Of the man claimed as his father.
Over 200 witnesses figure In the case.
Most Of them + ex.slaves or ex.slave-
masters, whose dispositions were taken by
Commissioners Of the South. The case
abounds in touching details, which are
here summarized.
Ffty.elght years ago q slave named
James L. Thomas, belonging on the
Shrewsbury estate, near Oharlest0wn, w.
Va, got tired Of living in bondage and
left the old plantation with a boatload Of
w%atermelons belonging to his master.
Among those who mourned his leave was
q dusky wife and two sons, Albert NJ. and
Aaron Thomas. Nobody ever heard what
became Of the watermelons, but after q
long and perilous pilgrimage the refugee
himself arrived In Buffalo. AS cook and
caterer he became well oil, and married q
second wife. Years after Albert Thomas,
whom bis father had left behind az aChild,
ran away from slavery, reached Canada by
the underground railway, and after
many adventures brought up In Buffalo.
After a few years in business here he went
to Raleigh, Tenn, ran q hotel, and took a
third wife. While there his father left
Buffalo for California and died there.
His widow by his second marriage subse.
quently sold the property In this city to
various parties, and three years ago, when
Albert LEANED that she, too, was dead, he
left his hotel at Raleigh and came on here
TO claim the estate. Thousands OF dollars
have already been spent In the case, and
the contest Is nowhere near the end YETI
A son Of the plaintiff Is graduate OF Yale,
