ORANGES FROM JERUSALEM
A Shipment Sent From There to the
Chicago Market
Competition With the California Product
for the Holiday
Trade

Jerusalem is now competing with Mexico
and California for the orange trade of
Chicago. The other day five cases ap-
peared in South Water street, the appear
ance of which soon attracted the curiosity
OF the commission men. who had never be.
fore seen any such packages. To the ordi-
nary spectator they were simply wooden
boxes secured with strips of green timber,
but to the experienced handlers of produce
they differed entirely from the usual run
OF cases.
AS the top of the first case was removed
and the yellow fruit came in view South
Water street wag was heard softly singing,
Jerusalem the Golden. Light in color, OF
oval shape and in the finest condition, the
fruit was packed much more carefully
Than that from other countries. The cases
were first lined with white paper and sheets
were placed between every layer of fruit.
Each orange was separately wrapped in the
ordinary manner. Oranges from the holy
land never have been seen in Chicago be-
fore, and these attracted much attention.
They were grown in the district between
Jerusalem and Jaffa. They are worth
from 81 to $3.50 a case.
Spain and Northern California are also
new competitors in the Chicago market
this season. THE orange situation is re-
markable." said George W. Barnett of the
firm of Barnett Brothers. He added:
"With the 100000 or 5,O00.0 600 cases
of Flordas out of the market this year
dealers have had to seek fresh fields for
stock. spain. whose fruit in ordinary years
wouldn't pay freight charges. has sent over
considerable quantities this year, which are
now selling at from So to $3.50 double
case. The greater part of the stock has
been sold in New York, because here 1t
comes into competition with the California
and Mexican crops. II it had not happened
that the California fruit ripened two weeks
ahead of the ordinary time We should have
had to depend entirely on the sup
ply from Mexico, and prices, which
are high enough already, would have adj
vanced still further
The most interesting feature in con-
nection with the new shipping
points is that Northern California for
the first time in its history has
sought the Chicago market. Oranges
in the Sacramento district ripen fully two
weeks ahead of that in the southern part of
the state, and the northern crop always has
been sold in San Francisco. In former
years it would have been useless to
ship it here in competition with the
Flordas, as growers would scarcely
have made the freight OH it. The car
which came in the other day was made
up of navels. seedlings and .Parson
Browns and came from Newcastle. 400
miles north of Los Angeles, They were all
of the finest quality and sold readily at
from $ to $40 a case. Northern Cali
fornia will be heard from again on the
orange market"
Never before was the orange market sup
Piled from such remate and diverglDg
points as this season. North and South
California. Florida, Mexico. Jamaica, Va.
lencia, Jaffa. Jerusalem, and chief among
them.-Chcago Record.

TO YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This should be the merriest day of
the year. To those who have remained
faithful to the religion of the man of
Gallilee it is commemorative of the
birth of one who made bright the lives
of men with the promise of glorious
salvation to the faithful and the right
eous, and to all it is gladstone as the
day that more than all others develops
and keeps alive two of the most beauti-
full attributes of human character,
generosity and gratitude; day in
which people bless by both giving and
receiving. If Christmas served no
other purpose tban that of causing
people to remember each other through
the exchange of gifts, it would be
holiday potent for the betterment of
humanity and entitled to unfailing OBJ
servance. Any day that will make for
the goodfellowship of man is too
precious to be dispensed with.
To the juvenile mind the day of
Christ's coming means the uDloosen-
ing of parental purse strings anu the
augmentation of the treasures of child
hood. or all days, Christmas is asso-
ciated in the youthful mind with more
unadulterated happiness than any
other.
With the coming of more prosperous
times throughout the land Christmas
cheer will be heartier and Christmas
fare more bounteous than year since.
and the greeting, ga Merry Christmas
to You," will bear a significance it
lacked in 1894, and which we hope will
grow deeper and fuller in the anniver-
saries of the future.
To its readers The HERALD wishes q
day of unalloyed pleasure and luxuri-
GUS feasting. Eat, drink and be merry.

DEFIES THE LAW OF GRAVITY

There are conjurors and conjurors, Jug

10 see all the big people in that line for the
last twenty years and more, but Maskelyne
and Cook stand alone as illusionists. No

they have produced marvel after marvel at

can get little or none, and are, there
fore, in no condition to enjoy life or
be of use to the world.
In the light of such facts, it is plain
that there must be something radically
wrong with our social system, and the
wrong should be righted. Ia country
with practically unlimited natural re-
sources, and which is comparatively but
sparsely settled, there is no natural
cause for involuntary poverty and its
re sultant evils If men we're allowed
freer access to natural opportunit tiles
there would be less poverty, less des-
peration and less window smashing.

THE DESPERATION OF Pow
ERTY

The window smes hing method of OBJ
tanning food and shelter has made its
appearance in Chicago. It is becoming
quite frequent in the large eastern
cilles, and not many months ago there
we're few instances of it in San Fran
cisco and some other Pacific coast
places. A poor wretch out of work
out of money, unable TO obtain by hon
est methods even the bare necessities
of existence, becomes desperate and
resolves that rather than freeze or
starve to death in the streets he will
try one more way Of prolonging his
miserable life. So he proceeds to
break a window in some business
house, is arrested, pleads guilty and is
sent to Jail, where for few days or
weeks he is sheltered and fed at public
expense.
1t cannot be denied that there are
men loafing about in cities and in rural
districts who are loafers by nature;
who would not honestly earn a living
for themselves if opportunity we're
offered them. Such persons, if physi.
cally able to work, deserve neither
charity nor sympathy. But, on the
other hand. there are several millions
of persons in this land of plenty and
boosted progress who constantly
strive to find honest employment, but

The National Complaint.

Dyspepsia is the national COM
plant. Almost every other man or
woman you meet has it, and the re-
suit is that the number of pseudo
remedies for it is as numerous as
Pharaoh's host. They are for the
most part worthless, There is, how
ever, a searching eradicant of this
distressing and obdurate malady,
one whose genuine merits long since
raised it to foremost place among
the staple medicines of America.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters extir-
pates dyspepsia with greater GER
tainty and promptitude than any
known remedy, and is amost genial
inyigorant, appetizer and aid to se-
cretion, These are NOT empty as
sertions, as thousands of our coun-
trymeu and women who have eX-
perienced its effects are aware, but
are backed up by irrefragable
proofs repeatedly laid before the
public. The Bitters also promote a
regular habit of body and give a
healthful stimulus to the urinary
