APPLES BAKED BY THE SUN.
A Yarn From Chicago That Beats Pitts
burg's Stories of Heat.

A Yarn From Chicago That Beats Pitts
burg's Stories of Heat.
1t was hot Sunday. Few people in Chi
cago will dispute the statement, but that it
was sufficiently hot to bake' apples on the
tree few may reasonably question, says
the Chicago Tribune. j. H. Hammill, who
resides on farm at Ninety-fifth street and
Western avenue, said
'We resideiust west of the slope of Blue
Island ridge and have all the discomfort of
the warm prairie winds without any of the
comforts of the lake breeze. The hired man,
with others, went to the orchard on DIR. KEEL
logg's farm in the afternoon to seek shelter
from the heat. They noticed that many ap-
Piles facing the sun were baked, and, filling
their pockets, brought them to the house.
The apples were baked about one-third
through, and had precisely the same flavor
of those baked in an oven"
Mr.. Hammill produced several of the ap-
Piles for the edification of the reporter. One
third OF the surface is baked, and when cut
the flavor is like that of an apple baked in
an oven. The apples were not much more
than half-matured, some portions of the in
terror being quite green.

ANOTHER OKLAHOMA BOOM
A Motley Army of Homeless People Await
ing the Presidents Word.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Aug. 23.-Recent in
formation concerning the opening of the
Indian lands has caused an influx of people
here that is surprising. The boomers are
arriving with wagons of every description,
headed for the Iowa and Sac and Fox
reservations. When the Presidents proc
lamation is issued throwing lands open for
settlement there will be scramble almost
equal to that which took place on the OPEN
ing of Oklahoma.
Every conceivable specimen of humanity
has put in an appearance. The gambler
and the missionary elbow each other, all
anxious to be among the first to invade the
Strip. Some have gone so far as to build
fiat boats, with which to cross the strip.
Others have houses on wheels, stocked with
provisions, ready to move at moments
notice. On line which extends from the
Cimarron to the South Canadian, a distance
of 60 miles or more, are encamped ], 200
homeless people anxiously awaiting the
Presidents proclamation. When the order
to move is given there will undoubtedly be
trouble

SNAKES IN A BALE OF HAY.

They Were RattIers and Their Impris on
ment Didn't Hurt Them.
Atlanta Constitution.l
Early yesterday morning viii Barnes
was experimenting the unloading of some
baled timothy hay shipped to his father,
Sheriff Barnes, from Illinois. He noticed
something peculiar in one of the bales, and,
becoming curious, called to negro to cut
it open. The negro did SO; the hay was
pulled back, and then Mr.. Barnes decided
that his curiosity had carried him far
enough. The negro had disappeared.
There lay two large rattlesnakes. Freed
from the tight pressure, they crawled out.
One continued crawling, while the other
coiled itself and sounded its rattle 1t was
killed in few minutes by Mr.. Barnes.
The other one escaped under the depot. and,
like the fish that slips.off q hook, was much
the larger. The snakes must have been in
the hole for weeks, but their energy didn't
seem to be impaired.

BISHOP NEWMAN'S SERMON.
General Grants Old Pastor breaches to
Chautauquans on Character.
TsPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 I'll

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
CHAUTAUQUA, n. Y, Aug. 23.-This was the
gloomiest and most cherries day in the
Chautauqua calender this season. Heavy
clouds full of rain swept over the sky, and
cold north wind made the heaviest wraps
not uncomfortable. Bishop Newman's SER
mon was pregnant with thought, ana con-
tanned much that was instructive as well as
encouraging. His subject was Character"
from the text in Hebrews, xii:14: without
holiness no man shall see God."F
Bishop Newman's presence here and the
fact that he was General Grants pastor,
even to his dying hour, has disclosed some
curious things. 1t turns out that the grand
father of Marie Decca, the charming prima
donna, who has captivated Chautauqua by
her singing, was General Thomas L. Hamer,
of Georgetown, o., who, when a member of
Congress from that State, took great inter-
est in young Grant, then a tanners son, in
the village of Georgetown, and had him ap-
pointed to West Point. Bishop Newman
said yesterday that he would rather be born
a tanners son and die the honored ex-Presi-
dent OF the United States, than be born a.royal
prince and die a royal scoundrel.

MORE CANADIAN CORRUPTION.
A New Scandal Unearthed in the Letting OF
Public Contracts.

HuDlC contracts.
TORONTO, Aug. 23.-What promises to
be scandal of'large proportions has been
unearthed in connection with the harbor
works which have been in progress here for
over two years. They should have been
completed this fall but only an insignif-
cant part of the work has been done, and it
is estimated that should the work proceed
no faster in future it will occupy 16
years. 1t is charged that the best
and cheapest design for the harbor
protection works was cast aside by the
Public Works Department because it did
not contain possibilities enough for Gov
eminent contractors, and that when the de-
sign had been determined upon and tenders
had been advertised for, the contract was
given to firm whose stender was S43, 500
more than the lowest bidder.
1t is also charged that the engineer in
charge of the works proved himself incom-
petent, and as the result the work has been
done in most expensive manner and often
twice over; that the stone placed during re-
cent years in the breakwater slope has cost
IS so and $40 cubic yard, when at the out
side it shouldn't have cost more than So.

VINEYARDS MENACED.
The RaVages of PhylOxera in France
and in Other Countries.
THE SMALL VINEYARDS.
1t Seems to be Necessary Despite the Agita-
tiOn Against 1t.
MONEY NEEDED TO MAKE CHAMPAGNE.

PARIS, Aug 23.-The agitation of young
Lamare, the educated lad of 10, who is
leading the turbulent wine growers in the
champagne districts, is the outcome of en-
deavors upon the part of the large wine
companies to acquire and unite the small
vineyards with the object of localizing and
stamping out phylloxera. The,small vine
yard owners stoutly oppose this project,
which they suppose is aimed to reduce the
yeomanry of the district to mere factory
hands.
There is no doubt that there are some
grounds for their suspicious, but at the same
time there is no doubt that phylloxera has
made its appearance, and that it is likely to
spread rapidly.
CHAMPAGNE REQUIRES CAPITAL
NJ. Lamare has secured enormous infiu-
ence to back him up in his agitation, but it
is almost impossible for the movement he is
at the head of to succeed, as champagne re-
quires such large amount of capital for its
successful production.
Apart from the invasion of pbylloxera,
the French vintage justifies the gloomy
predictions made in regard to the present
crop ofgrapes Upto the present the only
vineyards which promise we'll are those of
the Bordeaux regions In Lorraine and
L'Aude departments the vineyards have
been ravaged by mildew and black rot.
Througho It the department of L'Hera1lt
the negligence of the grape cultivatOrs has
allowed mildew to seriously prejudice the
present harvest, and no second gathering is
probable.
A resident of the department of La
Gironde has written letter for publica-
tion in which he asserts that only when the
vineyard owners have shown themselves
careless and self-suficient and have allowed
their vines to become surrounded with
weeds, thus constituting fOci of infection,
has trouble arisen.
WINE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
He adds that wherever the prescriptions
of science have been properly and Oppor-
tunely observed the vines are healthy and
promise an abundant crop. There are
signs of mildew in the department of Les
Bouches du Rhone, but in Algeria the vines
are well advanced. They are not scorehed,
and have not been injured by lOcusts. In
Tunis a good vintage is anticipated, the har-
vest there beiug estimated at 100,0 900 heeto-
itres. Phylloxera has been variously pres
ent in the vineyards of Spain, Portugal and
Italy. Young Lemare has written pamph-
let and has started weekly paper, La ReU-
olutio1 Chanaper'oise, to advocate his views
and to incite the peasants to reap the profit
of their work instead of allowing the wine
merchants to do so.

LOUISVILLE WHISKY FRAUDS.
Two Hundred Barrels of Liquor Are Seize
for False Entry There.


LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 23.-Six suits
have been brought by the Federal Govern
ment for the condemnation of 200 barrels of
whisky for fraudulent entry. Bartley.
johnson & Co., w. G. Coldewey,t the Louis
vile Public Warehouse, David BARLEY
and Darwin johnson are made defendants.
1t is recited that the whisky was originally
inyoiced in this county and shipped to Ber-
muda, and thence reiniported into the
United States by n. II. Hotheimer. The
original invoice was used. 1t is charged
that this invoice, on which Joel B. Erhardt,
Collector of Customs at New York, allowed
the whisky to enter the United States, was
fraudulent, inasmuch as the whisky had
been tampered with either at Bermuda or
while being transported between Bermuda
and the United States. By this means the
whisky passed through the Custom House
by being taxed much less than it should
have been

For the first time it introduces the explain
atory declaration that all such infants are
redeemed by Christ and are regenerated by
the Holy Spirit, and therefore, of course,
are among the elect.
IN BEHALF OF INFANTS.
''To statement so full and elaborate as
this, it hardly seems necessary to make any
addition by introducing the debateable
term electl The statement is better as it
stands. 1t is certainly to be hoped that the
church will accept this comprehensive
declaration and give it enduring place in
our noble creed. The proposition to omit
all reference to infants certainly will not
carry, because the great heart of the church
is too much concerned with this vast prob
lem to consent that it should be thus set
aside as insoluble. Diversities of opinion
exist as to the degree of Biblical warrant
for so broad doctrine; but all agree that it
is vast moment to shut out, if possible, by
the most distinct enunciation of our current
belief, the slanderous and mischievous crit
cism to which the church has for century
been exposed at this point.
'In respect to the heather, we could not
here or elsewhere admit that any among
them are saved except through Christ We
could only hope that there may. through
grace, exist in some pagan minds such
measure of compliance with the human con-
ditions of repentance on account of sim hum
bic faith in the mercy of God and sincere
submission to the Divine will so far as
known as will through the grace and media
tion of Christ avail for their salvation
The Confession affirms that the good works
of unregenerate men are sinful, but that the
neglect of good works by unregenerate men
is still more sinful. With this the commit
tee labOred thoughtfully. Dr. Morris says:
''This general doctrine remains unchanged,
but certain infelicities in the statement of it

kentucky Vendetta.

HARRoDsBURG, KY, May "a diabolical
murder by poisoning has just been COM
mitted in Washington county. 1t is the
sequal of the terrible crime which was COM
mitted in February last, when Calvin Vest
and his bride came TO Harrodsburg where
the groom was killed by JEFF Holiday and
two Of his brothers in the presence of his
bride.
The Holidays were arrested, and jeff is
now in Jail awaiting trial. Jim Matherly,
cousin Of Vests, while pretending friend
ship for the Holidays, has been collecting
evidence against them. On Thursday the
Vest boys and Matherly saw JEFF Holiday
ST., riding past the house.
The supposition is thst Vest and Matherly
fixed a drug To poison Holiday and hsiling
him offered him drink. Holiday rode on
but died in convulsion in few minutes.
A post mortem examination will be held.
It is believed that Matherly was given
money to do the deed and set out of the
country.
Holiday leaves several sons, who say they
viii devote their lives to avenge their faith
er's death. The killing of Holiday is the
seventh death which has grown out of a di-
vorce of Vest from a daughter of Holli-
days.
