Oranges Scarce and Poor.

New YORK, Dec. There is a
scarcity of good oranges for the
holiday trade. Plenty arrive from
Jamaica, but they are in so bad a
condition that a great part of them
|are understandable. There are
comparatively few California Or
|anges and still fewer Floridas.
Very high prices are asked for
both. Mediterranean oranges have
begun to arrive, but they are suit
able for the cheapest trade only.
Jamaica oranges in barrels are
worth from $3.50 to $500, and
boxed, containing from 125 to $50
oranges, are strong from $3.50 to
"a 80. Prices are expected to ad-
vance sharply between now and
christmas.

Bsyard on Labor Organizations.

LONDON, Dec. T. The Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard, United States
ambassador, presided at the dinner
which was given last Wednesday
evening in aid of the fund Of the
Locomotive Engineers Benevolent
society. Mr.. Bayard was enthusi-
astically received when he arose to
address the assembly. He declared
that he could say in all sincerity
that he had never attended a din
ner in England with such warm
sympathy. There was no party,
there was no national distinctions
there. He dwelt upon the interna-
tional organizations Of different
callings OF society as accentuating
the indissoluble tie of humanity
the world over and declaring that
while parties and forms of govern
ment might be useful, the sense Of
human brotherhood was stronger
and better than all else. He would
be glad, he said, If he could do any
thing to create a better feeling
among the different classes. If the
handworkers could realize the feel
ing Of the brainworkers toward
them it would make GIeit B ita n
stronger and better.
Several members of parliament
and a number of representatives of
American trade were present.

No Equal Rights in Mexico.

The Superior court of the Federal
district has decided, sustaining on
an appeal the decision of the lower
court, in the case of two American
negroes who were refused drinks
in the Iturbide hotel billiard room
where there is bar. The lower
court has decided that there was
no offense committed as the saloon
keeper as well as merchants may
rightfully refuse to sell if they
choose and the upper court affirms
the principle and the negroes no
longer have any status at bars if
saloonkeepers do not want them
on the premises.
The newspapers made a great
cutlery over this case, asserting
that all men are equal before the
law, but the court does not touch
this matter, merely combining it.

Berlin is Not Growing.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA special
to a local paper from Berlin says ;
The Census Of lS94'95 is nearly
completed. Berlin makes a poor
showing as to her population. The
increase is barley perceptible. On
the other hand the suburbs have
grown in mighty proportion.
Charletteberg, for instance shows
an increase in her population of 70
per cent. All this is ascribed to
the high cost of living in the CAPT
tai in particular and to the hard
times in general. There are in
the capital 7S9,675 females to only
546,l79 male inhabitants

Hostility to the Paris Exposition.

PARIS, Nov. THE nomination
of a parliamentary committee to
examine the project Of holding an
exhibition in 1900 is commented
upon by the newspapers in very
strong terms, and an excited de-
bate on the matter in the cham Der
of deputies is expected. Three
members Of the committee are
hostile to the project, five accept
the proposition under strict reser-
vations, two stipulate that the ex-
hibition shall be located on the
left bank Of the Seine, and one ap-
proves the project unreservedly.
The debate in the bureau prior to
the nomination of the committee
showed that hostility to the ex-
hibition was stronger than had
been expected.

HE'D SrARVE TO DEATH.
A Young Doctor Willing to Soak
His Watch For a Railroad

A young man who says he is a
medical doctor and has graduated
from the Vanderbilt university, APP
preached a reporter for the LIGHT
yesterday afternoon and said he
had just returned from Floresville,
where he was about to locate. But,
he said, business in his line is so
dull there, that he would starve to
to death at that place. He said
there are six or eight doctors sitting
around the drugstore every day
waiting for calls. He said the place
is too healthy, and he is looking
for a place where there is more to
do. The reporter advised him to
get out Of San Antonio on the next
train, for there are too many doc
tors here now. The young man said
he was dead broke and was willing
to soak his watch for a railroad
ticket to North Texas.
