A FREAK or NATURE.
The Navel Orange and How It Came to
This Country.

The Navel Orange and How It Came to
This Country.
The first navel orange was doubtless
n freak or 'sport. " rs horticulturists
say. To make such fruit by artifice
would be impossible IL is abnormal
even in the bud The navel shows in the
bud as early as the latter can be ex-
amined under the microscope II may
even be traced back to the flower, hich
il 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 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 fuetum- J"
This is the earliest reference known
The blossoms rarely have any pollen, and
the fruit is usually, though not always,
seedless The variety is reproduced by
budding. Where it originated is not
known with certainty. hut il was prob
ably in southern Asia Thence il was
brought TO the region Of the Mediterra-
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 a Star reporter that
he sent to Bahia and secured a dozen
young budded trees. These reached tho
United States in. 1870, being the first
navel orange trees known here.
From these trees others We're propa-
gated. One Of the first batch thus OBJ
tanned is now in the orange house of the
department of agriculture. In 1873 two
Of the trees We're sent to Mrs. l. G. Tib
bets of Riverside, Cal At the same time
others We're sent to Florida. But those
planted in California fruited more quick
ly and were 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 it
is not sufficiently productive. G., does
not bear freely enough to be profitable.
Nevertheless the finest navel oranges
come from Florida, though they are not
so handsome rs those from California

LAFAYETTE'S GRAVE.

1t Is In Old Paris, and n siIIsen American
Flag Always Floats over IL.
"Whilc in Paris short while ago, +"
said a traveller recently, "it occurred 10
me that it was fitting act 10 make a
pilgrimage TO the tomb OF that illus
trious Frenchman, dear to the hearts of
all American patriots, Marquis de La
fayette. / asked a number uf people he
fore could find any one TO enlightcn
me rs to the spot, but after repeated in
quiry aScertained its location. The grave
is situated in old Paris. within the
grounds of convent that the ancestors
Of Lafayette founded, and where rcposc
the remains of many If the French no
bility. The first thing that attracted my
attention in connection with the hcru'S :
tomb was that above it floatcd a silk,u
flag bearing the stars and stripes.
1T seems that good many years ago
an American gentleman left in his Will
a sum Of money to be used for the spe-
cial purpose ~ keeping an American
flag forever flying above the grave of
Lafayette. 1t has done So, without in
termission, from the day the will went
into effect, and whenever, through the
wear Of :he elements, one flag becomes
unserviceablc new one straightway
takes its place. Through untold centuries

early struggles for liberty, had his be-
neficent aid win wave above his ashes. +"

the defeat of the regulars that nervous
prostration is expected. He has been given
notice of his release, and the victory afford
ed him no end of satisfaction. He came
near THROWING his arm out of place, he ran
until his tongue hung out, and he yelled so
loud that his voice could be heard to WASH

Putting indianapolis aside and making
no claims for the pennart, 1t seems now that
the strongest team to compete against the

Indianapolis there has been many addi-

pennant winner, but have warned Manager

while others seem to think the Minneapolis

far in the future, though, for any one to
attempt to rate the entire league at the
present time and some are certain to be
wrong in their estimates. Every club has
it's supporters, who have already awarded
it the pennant and declare the games to
be a mere matter of form. There is one
thing certain, however, and that is that
the newspapers, which gather most of such
from the manager of their

high estimate on the Hoosier team.

ILLINOIS DEMOCRACY
JOHN M. PALMER SAYS HIS PARTY is
DOOMED TO DISCRIMINATION.
v%ention Will Declare for Free
Coinage of Silver nj 16 to L.

CHICAGO, April 27.-The most sensational
political development for many a day in
Chicago, if not in the entire West, was
made public this afternoon. The coming
Democratic State convention in Illinois will
beyond all doubt declare for free silver
without international agreement of any
kind, and the movement is of such strength
that other Western and Southern States
will be prevented with great difficulty, if at
all, from following the lead of Illinois. As a
party, the Democracy of Illinois is doomed
to ~rganization. The authority for these
is Hon. JOIN Mayo Palmer, cor
poration counsel for Chicago, and one of the
best known Democrats in the State. He is
not a free silver man. On the contrary, he
has a reputation with the more pronounced
silver element as a decided gold bug" Mr..
Palmer is the son of United States Senator
Palmer, who has been leading the money
fight for the national administration in Illi-
nois. The statements were made in an in
terview this afternoon, and the news has
caused widespread comment and specula-
ton. Mr.. Palmer returned to Chicago to-
day from the State capital. He said:
The sentiment in favor of the free and
coinage of silver at the ratio of

agreement, seems to have taken complete
possession of the Democracy of Illinois out.

which no one thought rendered the ledge
insecure. The five young. people felt the
ledge give way under their feet and tried
