tune.
Victoria, B. c., March 27.-The po-
lice have decided that boomers are
not suitable for ladies' street wear,
even when worn as a bicycling cos,
tune. and have taken steps to en-
force this decision. Miss Ethel Del
mont is an enthusiastic wheel woman,
pretty and graceful. Last week she
made her appearance IN the bloomer
costume. and if Lady Godiva had her
self essayed a repetition Of her famous
ride. the sensation could not have bcen
greater. The tow came forth to gaze,
and for the moment the policemen
were petrified with amazement. Then
they aroused to action and Miss Ethel
received an official visitor who in
formed her that a repetition of her ap-
pearance in the objectionable costume
would mean a police court summons
on the charge of creating a disturb
ance on a public street. Her blocmers
have been discarded.

The opening Of the week finds the market
for Seeding oranges even fatter than at the
close Of last week. The cause is entirely due
to the heavy imports of Italian fruit Spain.
Cuba aud Mexico also contribute some towards
the glut, but the principal supplies come from
Sicily. This fruit has literally flooded the At
lantic aud Gulf ports and is finding its way
into the interior. II is landed at Galveston
Texas, at 90 cents box, and sold at Houston

that q certain large fruit firm is repacking
Italian oranges at Houston and labelling 1t as
California fruit. TIL practice, which is often
