KENT, o., Nov. 2S.-Ravenna is excited
over scandal involving j.. ii. Bean, a
merchant, Robert Beatty, son OF Post
master Beatty. and Miss Eflie Bean, n
niece OF Merchant Bean. Miss Ellie
Bean is 10 and extremely pretty. Mr..
Beatty has wife and three children. but
entertained IA great fondness for Miss
Efiie just the same.
Some days ago Mr.. Bean discovered
that photographs of his niece in
"A decollete costume were in circulation.
He questioned his niece and she confessed
that Beatty had induced her to don the
scantiest attire while "A local photographer
caught the outlines OF her form very ac-
curately.
When Bean heard the story he secured
a pistol and hunted up Beatty. At the
point Of the revolver the latter was COM
PEELED TO hand over the Objectionable
picture. To-day he has been arrested
aud placed under bonds to keep the
peace. Now Bean declares that he will
bring suit against Beatty for slander and
defamation of his niece's character.

CALIFORNIA; Fruit Garden.

The best if not the earliest example of in
tensive fruit farming in the United States Is
probably to be found at Riverside, in Southern
California. About a score Of years ago a few
courageous, enthusiastic men and women
cranks they were called by their neighbors-
went to California to put in operation well
digested project, formulated after full consid-
Grafton and discussion during the long even
ings of the previous eastern winter. Their
fundamental conception was of well regu-
lated settlement of desirable people upon small
tracts of fertile land, surveyed in regular
blocks of definite size and shape, with ample
provision for streets and avenues, the whole
20 be artifcially watered through a system of
canals and bitches receiving their supply from
some unfailing source.
This was one of the beginnings of the
wonderful fruit industry of California,
according to Mr.. w. G. Fitzsimmons,
who writes its history in The Cosmopoli-
tan. The Riverside (Cal.) fruit garden
was painted as gorgeous picture on
the imagination of those who planted it
long before foot of irrigating ditch was
dug. 1t was planned out at eastern fire
sides and realized foot by foot afterward.
The homes, the beautiful landscape,
the comfort, freedom and wealth the
cranks dreamed of PANIED out even
greater than they saw it when they
looked into the future. The Riverside
fruit region now yields an income
of $1,000 to 81, 200 an acre from its
orange groves. The founders bought
the land from a man who grumbled be
cause it had been assessed for taxation
at seventy-five cents an acre. Now it is
worth 81 900 an acre in the open market
Five acres of oranges will give indie
pendence for life to large family.
The most difficult part of the task Of
the fruit garden pioneers was to make
the irrigating canals which brought wa
ter to their desert. for desert it was
when they went there. The water is
from the San Bernardino mountains.
forty miles away. 1t flows down into
sandy beds, and by tapping one of these
sandy beds-the Santa Ana river--the
Riverside pioneers found water for irri.
cation. Through 'infnite toll, vexation
and discouragements" they finally
achieved success. Riverside now repre-
sents what is probably at once the most
intelligent, comfortable and yet thor.
oughly republican community on the
globe. The landscape the ''cranks" have
made is one of unequaled beauty. A
fall of forty feet in an irrigating canal
supplies power for electric lighting to
Riverside and also to San Bernardino,
ten miles away.

War, famine and pestilence was the
procession in which of old times came
the dark winged messengers of woe to
the human race. We have had no war.
but famine fell upon Russia and parts Of
Asia last year and fingered through the
first half of 1892. Now has come the
pestileuce cholera, following in the
wake of the famine. 1t has appeared in
Russia, and there is reason to believe
the suspicious cases in the suburbs OF
Paris were real Asiatic cholera. Still il
does not follow that the scourge will
spread to America or through western
Europe generally, though it may do even
that. In any case, it is less fatal than il
was before mankind understood cleani
ness and the use of disinfectants.

The Ancestor Puzzle.

It is not we'll to let the tone of the
mind run altogether down in hot wealth
er, so we give our readers a puzzle on
which to exercise their mathematical
faculties.
One of those distracting fellows who
is always figuring has been calculating
how many ancestors everybody now on
the globe must have had. Every man
has two parents necessarily; but each
Of these two parents must likewise have
had father and mother, making four
grandparents for the man. Going still
a step farther back in the father and
mother business, these grandparents
had each one apiece. That would pile
another layer of ancestors on the person
and give him eight great-grandparents.
Now continue the calculation for your
self on the basis that each ancestor, no
matter howsoever far back you go,
must have had two parents to himself.
Each generation you must multiply the
number of ancestors by two as You go
backward. Everybody has sixteen great
great-grandparents, for instance. Now
if you simply multiply your ancestors
by two for twenty generations you will
find that you must have had even in that
time at least a million ancestors, so the
statisticians say. 1t is enough to drive
one to suicide to be loaded down with an
cestors like that. But now calculate that
everybody had, twenty generations ago,
a million ancestors, where will you find
people enough to supply hin3 There
were not so many, or quarter so many,
on the globe as would be required to fill
the Office Of ancestors to even as many
people as there are in one state Of the
Union. They would have to be packed
all over the earth like sardines aud be
piled high as the moon. Yet figures do
not lie, it is said. If you had a million
ancestors twenty generations ago, and
if every other person likewise had a mil
lion ancestors twenty generations ago,
where were they all? Thisis the puzzle.

The Cheap Excursion.

Blessed be the man who invented the
cheap excursion! Snobs and million
aires who travel in their own yachts
and special cars may turn up their noses
at it, but the chances are that in the
next generation the snobs son will be
one of the walters who runs with tray
of sandwiches to the car window and
slops coffee over the dust cloak of the
cheap excursionist. Who knows?
Say that the cheap excursionist is
gawky; that he parades all his private
affairs in a loud voice before the amused
and sneering city person in the street
car and elsewhere. The very place for
him to learn to keep his arms and legs
close about him and his voice within
the low, soft limit which Shakespeare
prescribes is the great city. He could
not visit that city only for the cheap
excursion which our American railways
are learning better and better how to
provide for the people. The only way
for the boor and the tough to learn that
a clean car floor is no place on which to
expectorate or to deposit either peanut
shells or chicken bones is to go abroad
and see that well bred people do none of
these nasty things.
1t is an important element in civiliza-
ton and culture, the cheap excursion.
1t enables the inhabitants of different
portions of this country to see one an
other and note the phases of develop
ment in each district. 1t takes away
the besotted self concelt of the ignorant
New Yorker to go to Chicago and Min
neapolis and find there broader, finer
streets and better city governments
and architecture than there are at
home. 1t lifts the intelligent, eager
farm boy and girl into u veritable fairy
land of delight when it takes them On
the wings of steam to see with their
own wide, bright eyes that Niagara or
Mammoth cave or magnificent dome of
the Capitol at Washington which they
have read about ever since they could
read at all. 1t destroys provincialism.
ignorance and local self conceit; it
makes the inhabitants of this huge coun-
try acquainted with one another, caus-
ing them to feel that we are indeed one
great, united people. 1t polishes away
crudities, fuses common interests and
makes us all wiser, better hammered.
more cosmopolitan nation.
The railways improve the accommo-
dations of these cheap excursion trains
yearly, as they ought to do. If the
sleeping car rates were not so high, a
still larger number of cultivated and
refined travellers would patronize the
cheap excursion in preference to staying
at home.

A man who means well, advocates in
an eastern paper the plan of having
congress set apart portion of some I'M
occupied territory for the special use
and occupancy of socialistic cranks.
Without favoring any of their doc
trines, he believes in giving the theor-
lists an opportunity to Iut them into
practice In community of their own.
BY carrying out this plan other people
would be relieved Of the presence Of
men and women who are continuously
stirring up strife. The trouble with
this scheme is that these persons do moi
have a community Of their own. They
are opposed to the requirement Of
wealth by honest industry. They want
the wealth that other people have ac
quired by hard work and the exercise
Of thrift.
