The Navel Orange and How 1t Came 70
This Country.
The first navel Grange was doubtless
a freak or sport, 4" as horticulturists
say To make such fruit by artifce
would be impossible II is abnormal
even in the bud The navel shows in the
bud rs early as the latter can Le eI-
amined under the microscope IL may
even be traced back to the flower. - hich
is double-though that word does not
express the idea very well, each blossom
having a secondary blossom within IT,
In the developed fruit the navel Is itself
a secondary orange. in some specimens
having a distinct skin surrounding it.
The two story orange is no novelty.
A book ON horticulture published in
1912 gives picture of the navel orange
and calls it ''pomum Adami forum. "
This Is the earliest reference known
The blossoms rarely have any pollen, aud
the fruit is usually. though not always,
scedleSs. The variety Is reproduced 10y
budding Where it originated is not
known with certainty, but II was prob
ably III southern Asia. Thence II was
brought to the region Of the Moditerra-
mean and eventually diffused over the
world. A lady who had travelled in
Brazil told Mr. Saunders, chief gardener
Of the department of agriculture, about
the orange, which she had seen in that
country. Acting on this information.
Mr.. saunders told Star reporter that
he sent To Bahia and secured a dozen
young buddcd trees. These reached the
United States III 1870. being the first
navel orange trees known here.
From these trees others were propa-
gated One Of the first batch thus OBJ
tanned is now in the orange house of the
department of agriculture. In 1878 two
Of the trees were sent TO Mrs. L. G. Tib-
bets Of Riverside, Cal At the same time
others were sent to Florida But those
planted in California fruitcd more quick
ly and We're the first to attract attention.
1t soon became evident that the climate
of that state was better suited to the
cultivation of this variety. In Florida il
is not sufficiently productive. e, does
not bear freely enough to be profitable.
Nevertheless the finest navel oranges
come from Florida, though they are not
so handsome as those from California

ANXIOUSLY WAITING.
Agents of La Gascogne Think
She's All Right.
Say She Has Weathered Many
Storms Before.
1T is EIGHT DAYS
Since She Was Due to Arrive at
New York.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE French
steamer La Gascogne, so far as all
sources of information go. has failed
to reach harbor. The three steamers
which arrived at this port yesterday
have seen or heard nothing of her
But the fact that vessels not nearly so
staunch as the French liner have
weathered the gales that have swept
the Atlantic for the past two weeks,
has given heart and hope to those
who can view the chances of the big
steamer from an impartial standpoint.
La Gascogne is now eight days over
due. She has faced many a furious
gale in the years that she has cross ed
the Atlantic, but never was she so
tardy in reaching port.
On October 26, 1891, she came into
New York harbor, 92O souls on board,
salt encrusted to the top of her fun
nels.
She was only twenty four hours
late. but for four days and nights she
had been in the grip of hurricane.
One day of such weather would
have tested the staunchness of almost
anything that floats. but La Gascognc
wore out four days and n ghts of it
and reached New York prac ticallv
uninjurcd. 1t is such experiences that
have given the agents in this city the
confidence that their boat is still
ploughing the seas. or safe in some
out of the way i1drbor.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lin accord
ance with the act of congress of May
e. 1894. the secretary of agriculture
has issued to managers and super
intendents of railroads and trans
portation companies of the United
States. stockmen and Others" the
usual regulations concerning cattle
transportation, to be int force from
February Is to December l, next.
The principal difference between the
regulations and those of last year lie
in the fact that the Texas fever line,
as it is called, has been extended
westward to the Pacific coast
The principal change in the old
Texas fever line affects the terri tory
of Oklahoma, a large portion of the
northwestern part of that territory
which was formerly included within
the line being now left outside.
There are also some slight changes in
the line in Missouri, Tennessee nd
Virginia The bureau of animal in
dustry is preparing the map for 1895,
showing the Texas fever line in it's
entirety under the regulations, and
it will be printed and ready for dis
tribution as soon as posi- bic. The
regulations imposed upon the trans
portation companies, stockmen and
others with regard to the removal of
cattle from south of this line do not
differ from those in force last YEAR

FIVE MURDERED.
n. N. Tucker, His wife and Three Chill

NJ. n. Tucker, His wife and Three Chill
dren Slain and Burned.
ARDMoRE, I. T., Feb. 11.-Living in
an isolated part of the country, if-
teen miles west from here were M. M.
Tucker, his wife and three children,
6, and IL years, the two latter girls.
All were cruelty murdered Wednes-
day night and the bull ding burnt
over them. Suspicion rests on Fred
Wilson, son-in-law of Tucker.
On the spot where the h me had
stood nothing remained but black ened
cinders. In them were the charred
bones of the five victims. The theo-
ry of accidental fire is secuted, and
robbery and murder with the su bse-
quent use of the torch to cover up the
crime, seems the most probable.

RED MEN.
Laws For Degree of Pocahontas-Around
the Council Fire.


the Council Fire.
A code of laws for the government Of
great councils of the degree of Pocahontas
was adopted by the last great council, but
it omitted to abrogate existing statutes
Thus certain powers seem to be given the
independent organization and government
of the great councils of the degree of Po-
cahontas, which yet remain, by previous
statute, in other control.
The only authorized diploma Red Mems
chart or certificate of membership is the
one issued by the great council of the
United States, to be procured only through
the great chief of records of each state
great council
1t was ordered by the great sun council
that hereafter the great chief of records
shall accept only eastern exchange, United
States money ORDERS express money orders
or United States currency in payment for
per capita tax or for supplies.
The laws of the great council provide
that all reports and per capita dues shall
be sent to its great chief of records not lat
er than tho first sun of corn moon. In the
case recorded at the last great council the
report and tax of a state great council ar
rived while the great sun council fire was
burning, and therefore - suns behind
time, and the ruling was made that said
payment did not entitle said state great
council to representation.
