A Curious Fruit Said to De Peculiar Il

A Curious Fruit Said TO he Peculiar to
the State Of Wooden Nutmegs.
Farmer L, D, Crandall Of Bozrah, six
miles west Of this city, came to town
recently with Eve quarts of albino hue
klcberries, which he readily sold for a
round price to merchants and others
who fancy freaks of nature. Mr.. Gran
dall's fruit was the finest sample OF
white hucklebcrries ever seen in Nor
witch. The berries were all large, hard,
firm Of texture, sweet and luscious and
about as white as milk Albino berries
are extremely rare-in fact, "about as
skeerce as hens teeth" said Mr. Gram
dali, after he had pocketed 20 cents
box for some of the fruit.
There arc not more than half dozen
places in Connecticut, probably, where
they grow, and it is not known that
they grow in any other state. There is
a patch of albino bearing bushes in the
hilly town of Salem, which adjoins Boz
rah; another in Hartford county, a
third in Windham county, and there are
two or three more in different parts OF
the state The Salem albinos cluster
about the apex Of wind swept, treeless
knoll in the middle Of heavy wood,
and the whole plot is not more than 10
or 20 feet in diameter. By many persons
it is believed that the berries are not al
binos, but distinct species Of whortle-
berries, since they never mix or ANAL
gamate with the common black buckle
berry, Neither are they greatly disposed
to- propagate themselves or spread on
new ground All the widely separated
plots are of about the same dimensions,
while in the case of the Salem patch il
| is known to be of just about the same
size now as 100 years ago. In most re-
spects the albinos differ not at all from
the black berries except in color, al
though some country people affirm that
when fully ripe they are trifle sweet
er, with more decided flavor. Like al
| albinos, whether of the animal or vege
table world, they are irradiated with ;
faint pink hue, seemingly from ligh
| glowing within the rind, which is a
beautiful as it is curious. Most of thu
| albino patches yield not more than ;

NO MORE SEED DIVISION.
Secretary Morton Abolishes n Branch
of His Department.

Secretary Morton Abolishes n Branch
of His Department..
It is pretty definitely understood that
the seed division Of the Agriculture De-
partment will cease to exist after October
next. Some time ago Secretary Morton
submitted to the Attorney General the
question of whether or not he had the
right under the law to abolish this work,
which he conceived to be useless. The At
torney General has within short time
given the Secretary an opinion. in which
he declares that the Secretary has that
authority, and, acting upon this decision.
Gated to NJ. E. Fagin. the chief Of the di-
vision, the official Information that there
will be no further need of his services and
his clerks after the LIST of October.
Mr. Fagin has. it Is understood, rendered
his resignation to the Secretary and has
taken occasion to congratulate him upon
this step, which, Mr.. Fagin says in his let
ter. was recommended by him In his first
annual report.
This action of the Secretary will throw
out of employment ten people. besides the
chief, at present, and will result in the de-
priving of fully $50 more of occupation dur
ing the busy season-the winter months
when It is customary to send out the bulk
of the seeds. The chief has salary of
$1,000 a year. There are two clerks at ST.
200 and eight at $40. The extra force en-
p1OyeQ III the winter SedSUu Is pau at the
rate of s1.50 per day. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Fagin will be appointed to another
branch of the service after his resignation
as chief of the seed division takes effect.
The Attorney General in his opinion said
that under the law the Secretary had the
right to discontinue the distribution Of all
but rare and unusual seeds, but that he
could advertise for bids for seeds, and
that he could also reserve the right to re-
ject any or all bids.
The Secretary advertised for bids and re-
jected them all on the ground that they
were not for rare seeds.

THE CASE WENT OVER.
John w. Reed Charged With Playing
Sharp Game.

Sharp Game.
Detective Boyd yesterday afternoon
placed under arrest white man by the
name Of John w. Reed. on the charge
of obtaining money under false pretanses.
The gane which Reed is alleged to have
been working is rather an ingenious one.
Last Friday E. E. johnson received a
postal card purporting to be from a Mrs.
Parsons, who gave the address III G
street. requesting that s. worth of lumber
be sent and that the driver of the wagon
be supplied with change for $50 bill.
When the colored man arrived at the house
he was met by well-dTeSSed man, who
asked for the bill for the lumber and the
change. saying that he would go into the
house and get the 80 bill while the driver
was putting in the 1Gmber. That was the
last seen of him. Word was sent to the
police headquarters and notice sent to q
number of dealers to look, out for SIM
liar case. Yesterday morning johnson
Brothers. wood and coal dealers. received
a letter asking them to send some fuel to
81 Grant place. This time the man went
for larger game, for he requested that the
driver of tine wagon be furnished change
for $50 bill. Detective Boyd was sent
to the spot, and when an effort was made
to work the same scheme again he put
the man under arrest.
The prisoner was taken to the Police
Court this morning and charged with lar
ceny. The case went over until tomor-
row. Reed, 1t is said, uses opium in every
form, and this morning he appeared to be
very sick because he had not had any
opium since his arrest yesterday. After
being prescribed for by the physicians at
the Emergency Hospital he was sent to
the Police Court and will probably be tried
tomorrow, although because of his family
connections his victims do not desire to
prosecute him.

GENERAL MARKET NEWS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, July 2G-The sharp check
to the advance in wheat yesterday created
a very bullish sentiment in the room at the
opening this morning on the Granger
shares. especially on Burlington. and dur
ing which 1t was advanced to 90. as against
50 at yesterdays close. The other Grang-
ers, notably r. l., were correspon1ingly
strong and very active, chiefly on buying by
houses with close Chicago connections, who
were noted as the principal sellers yester-
day and the day before on the '.sm,it
scare"
Chicago Cas- however, was again very
weak on selling Of the same character as
yesterday. There Is absolutely no news to
account for the continued selling of this
speciality. What is known as the "Bene-
dict interests were credited with taking
most Of the offerings.
Sugar was bid up in the early trading by
the traders who are bulling the certificates,
but the trading in it at the advance was
not active. and after the early advance 1t
showed a disposition to lag and was rather
heavy throughout the day.
The market for sterling and continental
remains very firm, with no change from
yesterdays conditions.
The dispatches from the west continued
uniformly favorable, and 1t has been many
days since the activity and strength Of the
Changers has been SO great, in the case of
Burlington and Rock Island, indeed.

hour e p.n,3 the advance in them, while
slow. has been almost uninterrupted.
The trading during the last hour was on
a par with the earlier hours, the grangers
remaining very strong, while the indus
trials were made marks of by the traders
in their efforts 20 depress prices. Prices
at the close were almost uniformly better
than the opeang. with the feeling in the
room bullish to degree.
