SUITS, said one of group of orange or
chardists, all of whom Endorsed the speak
ers sentiments, "the awards to be made
known tomorrow will be worth about as
nueh as those at the ordinary county fairs.
The Judging commenced on Monday morn
Ing, and Professor WIckson says it will be
finished this evening. To properly judge
4oO exhibits by the growers and CONNER
cIal tests would occupy a week. Ii the
judges had gone through the scientific tests
In the laboratory as we desired and were
promised the judging could not be finished
within three weeks.
Instead OF that, the judges have gone
through their work on the gaIlop. They
have given a superficial examination only,
ana In justification of their haste say that
they haven't time TO examine the fruit
more thoroughly. The exhibitors urged
the exposition management to give the
Judges some remuneration for their time,
that their work might be thorough, but
our suggestion was unheeded.
In consequence of this economy the
judges have passed plates of oranges with
out even cutting into the fruit, merely be-
cause the outside appearance was unat-
traclive. Now it is a well-known fact that
even when the outside appearance of the
fruit Is poor, the oranges may be so nearly
perfect inside that they will score far
anead or fruit having an excellent appear
ance from the outside of the peel. The
northern and southern growers had each
representative at the judging, and they
are authority for the cursOry methods Of
examination.
What are we going to do about it |?
Why, simply this. The awards have not
been made yet, although the Judging will
be finished in few hours, consequently
none Of us know the results. A protest at
this stage cannot be ascribed to disap-
pointed ambition, so we say right here
thatwe will refuse TO accept the awards of
the judges. If they don't go over the ex-
hibits again and examine them thoroughly,
as required by the rules of the contest, we
will decline 10 exhibit in the other fruit
contests and lots of other growers will
also withhold their samples"
Before he learned of the protest Chief
Smith of the horticultural department
committed himself by stating that the
competitive citrus display was the best
uniform exhibit of those fruits ever shown
in the world. He added that the quality
OF the fruit was so uniformly excellent
that 1t was three times as difficult task
TO discriminate as at ordinary fruit con-
tests. He said he would announce the
results Of the judging this morning.

A Startling Announcement.

The Rev. George r. Dodson, the popu-
lar minister of Alameda. tells rather a
good story at his own expense, says the
san Francisco News Letter. While spend
ing his summer vacation at Skagg's
Springs one of his greatest frineds was a
fellow boarder. a little girl of about s
years old. The two were constant com
panions, and the child daily accompan-
led the clergyman on his excursions in the
neighbOrhood- one evening the little girl
remarked to her fellow diners:
i like going with Mr.. DodsOn.'
Why queried the stranger, hoping to
draw the child out
Because he has no morals" was the
startling reply.
When the summer boarders had recov-
cred their equaHimity they instituted an
investigation, the upshOt of which was the
discovery that the curly haired maiden
possessed an Unsuitable craving for stOr-
les This desire was frequently gratitied
by Mr.. DodsOn, but, unlike the anecdotes
OF the child's mother, the minister's tales
were never pointed with a moral for the
youngsters government.

a Famous Conntsrfeiter.

A tall man, with a cape overcoat over
his gaunt shoulders and whose bristling
gray eyebrows jutted out over keen blue
eyes, and matched the bristly white
mustache which softened the outline of a
broad, square jaw, came into a we'll
known hatter'S yesterday on a matter of
business, says the New York Press. He
was a striking figure and wore the in
dehnable air of a thoroughbred man of
the world who had seen better days and
who remembered them. After his silk
hat had been blocked he left the hatter's
with cOurtly wave of his hand to the
proprietor, who said to me in low tones
When that man was at the top of his
particular heap and the head of a crowd
who made their quarters in the neighbOr-
hood of Blocker street and Broadway, he
bought a new silk hat every fortnight;
and so did all the rest. Those We're days

A Fish Story From Africa.

'Domingo's nose took a Grecian turn;
he scratched his head and uttered a few
expressions in negro dialect" says a writ
er in Harper's Young People. Then he
made a bait with Goldfish; but alas the
little fishes didn't like salt cod.
This time Domingo was at his wits
end. Corned beef, sardines and Goldfish
were everything that there was eatable
on board. He sat silent and detected

Make some fresh meat I said. And
you may believe me or not, as you like,
but he did. With his sharp knife, from
the thick part of his heel, little at one
side where the hard flesh joins the tender,
he proceeded to cut a little morsel with
which he baited his hook. 1t was appar-
emily exactly what the little fishes want

it voraciOusly. The results We're most

One of the most unfortunate things
that can happen to the average legislator
is to have some pei son or newspaper
mention him as the Watchdog OF the
treasury" That term has probably
spoiled more good men than have heen
bamboozled with railroad free passes. As
soon as 1.-The watchdog Of the treasury
is applied to him, the average legislator be-
comes bulldog headed. lie seizes upon
the idea that he is Of great Importance.
that he alone stands between the public
treasury and a gang of hooters, that the
state is watching him with bated breath
and unqualified approval and he usually
holds on TO this idea with a tenacitv hat
is disheartening. As a matter OF fact.
nne-tenths OF the miscalled "watch-dogs
OF the treasury" are unqualified nuisances.
They object to ovc'y advanced idea, they
wish 70 pinch and sllnp where libcraItv
