AMONG THE APPLES.
THOMAS s. COLLIER.

IhOMAS .. COLLlER.
Red, and russell, and yellow,
Lying here in heap
Pippins, rounded and mellow;
Greenings for winter keep;
Seek-no-furthers, whose blushing
The soul OF the saint would try,
Till his face showed the crimson flushing
The cheek of a northern spy.
Hid from the winter weather,
Safe from wind and sleet,
Here in pile together
Russet and pippin meet.
And in this dim and dusty
Old cellar they fondly hold
A breath like the grapes make musty
BY the summers radiant gold.
Each seems to hold yagrant
Sunbeam lost from the sky
When lily blooms were fragrant
Walls for the butterfly;
And when the snow was flying,
What feast in the boarded store
Of crimson and yellow lying
Heaped high on the sandy floor
Fruitage Of bright spring splendor,
or leaf and blossom-time,
That no tropic land can mend or
Take from this frosty cline
Fruit for the hearthstone meeting,
Whose flavor naught can destroy,
How you make my heart s swift beating
Throb with the pulse of boy!
Apples scarlet and golden,
Apples juicy and tart,
Bringing again the olden
Joy to the weary heart,
You send the swift thought sweeping
Through wreckage of time and tears,
To that hidden chamber keeping
The gladpess Of youths bright years.

BICYCLE AT ORLANDO.
Excursions All the Rage Now in
Florida,

Orlando, Fla, Aug. u.-This city, with
her fine clay paved streets, has become
the greatest bicycle center in the state.
Bank presidents. railroad officials and
staid old business men are in it," to
use a familiar phrase The cost of a
fine wheel is now more than
the price of good horse,
and yet every class of citizens. rich and
poor. male and female, has taken to this
mode of travel.
a bank president, who owns an elegant
carriage and pair of housekeeping horses,
as he alighted from his wheel in front
of the bank this morning after a refresh
ing ride in from his suburban residence,
remarked to your correspondent that it
beat carriage or horseback riding two
to one"
This is not the season for tramps, and
yet the railroad track is daily lined with
a class of people that is moving north
ward. AS a rule they are well dressed
mostly have hand baggage and seldom
ask for anything but a drink of fresh,
cool water. Not a few of them are me-
chanics, some from the railroad shops
thrown out of employment and too poor
to pay fare, so they foot it from place to
place in search of a job. The freeze has
sadly demoralized this class of labor, for
the present but there is a good time com
ing in Florida for mechanics of all kinds.
The excursion business has reached
high water mark and already shows that
there is money here somewhere. Every
train carrying excursion parties is crowd
ed. and for the next month these excur-
sions are to be kept up. Division Pas
senger Agent jolly at Tampa seems to
be loaded down with excursion schemes,
and one follows another in rapid success
sion. The first excursions were to seaside
resorts. but now the inland cities are
being favored. Savannah, Macon and At
lanta are on the list for excursions in the
near future.

suggested the reporter.
Neither. Earthquakes are not COM

about their individual demolition are cor

sist wind strains. / have already spoken
of the danger from exterior fires The

"All steam pipes and water pipes should

insulation against interior fires.

This state of affairs has continued un-

II has bred an element in the south, among
the whites Who care nothing for the law
and set no value on human life; it has
made the negro revengeful and is fast
goading him on to desperation. The spir-

has spread among both white and black

The great southern dailies, viz: The

lied the dreadful state of affairs and have
gone to work in earnest to correct this
great evil. If these papers be supported
in their heroic effort, our country will
soon be redeemed from the great cloud
which everybody knows hangs over it.

BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
wall Street.

WIZ street.
New York, Aug 10.-As matters now
stand, there is a clearly defined misgiv
ing as to what may be the state of the
treasury gold reserve after the LIST of Oc-
tober. when the obligations of the loan
syndicate to the treasury will cease. If.
after that date, the relations between
the banks and the treasury remain as
they have been for the last two years, The
treasury will have to supply all gold re-
quired for export and yet it will have no
gold income from the custom house or
from any other source. 1t is hardly nee
essary to say what that means. One thing
admits of no doubt; that, in the absence
of ability to maintain the gold reserve
and in presence of renewed resort to Dor
rowing in order to secure gold. there must
be a reaction from the now prevailing
state of confidence and prosperity; how
serious that relapse would be each may
Judge for himself. Certain it is that no
mere commercial activity could stop the
depletion of the gold reserve so long as
the treasury had no gold income and yet
was compelled to supply the gold needed
for our fixed exports of specie. 1t is the
plainest truism that, neither abroad nor at
home can there be any settled confidence
in our investments until we have a strong
and formal assurance that under any and
all circumstances the United States gov
eminent will be able to maintain pay
ments in gold.
It is the absence of an adequate assur-
ance to this effect that is producing the
hesitation about our investments now
observable in the markets of New York
and Europe. 1t seems incredible that
means will fail to be adopted to bring
about the desired security. 1t is a mere
question of practical finance; it requires
no new or special contrivances; it de-
mands simply a return to the old method
of exchanges between the banks and the
treasury; the use of gold as it was used
up to 1898; the payment of gold for customs
duties, and the payment Of gold by the
treasury al the clearing house. 1t is not
worth while to inquire why those rela-
tions were broken up; such an inquiry
might show that treasury management
was largely responsible for 1t. But this is
no time for adjusting blame, or making
recriminatory charges. The plain fact to-
day is that the treasury and the banks
have 1t in their power to so readjust their
relations as that each Will have enough
gold for all the requirements of safety
and credit; and it is inconceivable that
they can much longer delay coming back
to their old relative positions.

From the New York Herald.
Buffalo, n. Y: George Apo, the half
breed Chinese green goods man and one Of
the star witnesses before the LeXow COM
mittee, who was arrested here yesterday
on a telegram from Acting Captain
OBrien, of the detective bureau, New
York had two callers in his cell to-day,
who afforded considerable amusement to
him and those present at the interview.
They were Farmer Homan Glass and his
son, BILL" of Patchen Corners. this
county, who allege that Apo buncoed
them out Of 500 in a green goods tran
farmer received a sachel filled with saw
dust, and to crown the whole thing, caught
Apo trying to pick his pocket.
The farmer and the notorious bunco man
recognized each other at once, and Apo
greeted his visitors heartily, saying he was
glad to see them again. They We're not so
pleased to see him, however, and the old
farmer expressed his opinion of Apo In
unmeasured terms. The latter smilingly
protested that Mr.. Glass wronged him,
saying:
Though you may doubt me, Mr.. Glass.
! never defrauded you out of "a cent. That
large sachel of sawdust you took home
with you was mixed with gold placed there
to enable you to recoup your losses in
case the greenbacks were taken from you
by some INSCRIPTIONS person. You wrong
me in thinking otherwise"
Farmer Glass flew into rage at this
and threatened to repeat the thrashing he
gave Apo in New York, when he caught
the latter picking his pocket You wrong
me again, Mr.. Glass" said the affable APP
20. Il had my hand in your pocket. it is
true, but | was slipping a slight present
for your son therein / wished to give you
a surprise and make you think pleasantly
of me when you reach your home"
At this point the officers thought it time
to end the interview and the old man left.

Preacher WaIdrOn Attacks the
Lynchers of Negroes in the south.
Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. u.-Rey j. Mil
ton Waldron, colored, preached a sensa-
tional sermon here tonight on lynchings.
He used as his text the words of Job:iv:S,
and Proverbs xiv: "a, which are as follows:
"They that pillow iniquity and SOW wicked
ness, reap the same. Righteousness ex-
alteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to
any people" He said in part:
The lynchings of colored people, be-
gun at the close of the late civil war.
The former master was unwilling to al
low the ex-slave the same political rights
as himself; and in order to keep the ne
groes from getting into power and to get
those out of power who had been put
there by negro voters, the whites, during
the reconstruction days, many of them,
organized continuous ku-klux bands,
lynchings and other terrorisms. These
Things, together with political frauds,
false legislation, etc, were kept up until
the control of the southern states came
back into hands of the former slave
owners. But the habit Of disregarding
law and the passion for human blood
had by this time become fixed with many
OF the lower elements, so that later,
whenever the colored man did anything
that exasperated this class of whites or
whenever they wanted to cover up their
own vile deeds they visited their displeas-
ure and practiced their trickery upon
him by taking his life.
In reconstruction days the killing Of
negroes was condoned because IL should
be necessary to get the votes Of the
southern whites. When il was no longer
necessary for that purpose some other
excuse had 10 be resorted 10 In order TO
shield tbs roughs who had become set In
their ways and must shed human blood.
