THE RIVER TRADE.
Inspector Harris Tells How Il Has Increased

Inspector Harris Tells How II Has INCREASED
Within the Last Few Years.
During the past five years the shipments Of
fruits and vegetables from along the shores Of
the Potomac have greatly increased. and now
there is . boat from the lower landings almost
every day. Five years ago there was only
about one boat Q week and IL did not always
bring large cargo Of fruit
''The receipts Of fruits and vegetables this
season have been unusually large" said In
spector Harris to STAR reporter this morn
ing, land the river trade has greatly reduced
the prices. Apples, peaches. corn, cantelopes
and other fruits and vegetables are coming
every day, and the number of cantelopes re-
ceived thus far this season has been considera-
bly, more than has been received during several
previous seasons.
The farmers all along the line Of the river"
continued the inspector, 'have learned the
value of their farms and nearly all of them
have planted orchards in addition to raising
vegetables for shipment. Apples are very
plentiful and sell for almost anything offered,
while peaches are correspondingly cheap, they
having sold as low as IS cents . box.
Now is the time for preserving" he added.
with fruit plenty and cheap and sugar at
cents . pound there is no reason why persons
should not put in their winter supply. II they

are now ripe and the first shipments have been
received. The oyster pungies and sloops are in

Sad Result of Opium Eating.

A sickly looking woman was found on the
street yesterday in a condition that made her
appear as though she was under the influence
Of some urug. and when taken to the eighth
precinct station it was learned that she was a
confirmed opium eater.
Her name she gave as Mamie Goodloe and
said she came from near Lynchburg. Va She
sAid she was anything, but happy and death
would be a welcome visitor. She was taken TO
Freedmans Hospital, but sire had been there
before and the doctors could do nothing to
break her Of the habit, which she contracted
some time ago when she was sick. She was ex-
tremely nervous and said that she had been at
tended by a reputable physician, who had
failed TO break her Of the habit
she was then taken to the Hope and Help
Mission, on Z street. where the kind-hearte,l
matron took her In and promised to do what
she could 70 relieve the unfortunate sufferer.

A CHILD's TRICYCLE.

1t Cannot Be Ridden Upon the Public Side
walks.
Some time ago q resident Of the District
wrote to Maj. Moore superintendent Of police,
complaining that Officer Mellen had unwar-
rantsbly. as he alleged, interfered with his
small child. four and half years old, in riding
a child's tricycle. on the pavement in front Of
his house on 7th street between and streets.
Last week he forwarded the same complaint to
the Commissioners with the query whether or
not there was a law prohibiting children who
were too small to venture with safety upon the
public streets from enjoying their small tricy-
cles on the sidewalk. The Commissioners re-
ferred the letter to Mr.. Sidney T. Thomas, as
sistant attorney for the District, for an
opinion.
1T seems to me-" says Mr.. Thomas, in his
opinion rendered today, "that section 2, article
III, OF the police regulations, which provides
that no person shall draw or drive upon any
footway or sidewalk any vehicle except chill
dren's carriages, and except as now provided
by Law" covers the case Of children riding on
sidewalks.
Il am informed by the police department
that such has been the uniform Interpretation
OF this regulation, and that it is necessary in
the interest Of public safety and convenience
to enforce it on q business thoroughfare like
7th street, especially since the laying Of the
cable road, which has greatly augmented the
danger.
Il am inclined to think the interference of
the officer IN this case justifable.'

almost impossible to make q pocket. but he
called the center bail for the corner pocket and
made it, but the cue ball scratched, which lost
