Why California Fruit Is Insipid.

tempting to eat one of the largest and
most beautiful specimens of California
peaches ever seen in Fulton market, threw
it away in disgust And he was right:
for. while 1t was an object to delight the
eye: with it's great size. perfect shape.

favor was decidedly vegetable. So New
Workers OF experience in such things buy
California peaches TO look at, and to serve
with the dessert as the browning orna-
ments of a perfect dinner, but lay in
supply of Deiewares to eat: while In Chi
cago they say. "Oh, yes, California
peaches are pretty, but the st. 10. pro-
duct is good enough for us" Having thus
persuaded themselves that all California
peaches are tasteless and insipid. dwell

SIXTY DAYS, NOTICE REQUIRED.
Fire Insurance Policies Not Arbitrart-
" Cancelled in Wisconsin.

There is a prospect of an early decision
as to the constitutionality of the new
statute of Wisconsin by which the flre IN
surance companies authorized to do bust
ness in that state are forbidden to cancel
policies except on sixty days notice. 1t
is reported that the Oconto company, or
Oconto, Wis, was ordered to surrender
policy which certain insurance company
ordered Cancelled. and refused to do so,
which will probably bring the matter in
the courts. The policy was one covering
lumber.
The new Wisconsin law is designed more
especially TO cover cases such as occurred
frequently last summer. when insurance
companies became fearful of the risks
they were carrying on mills and lumber in
the forest fire section, and often Cancelled
policies with scarcely no notice TO policy
holders. IT is considered not the right
thing for insurance companies to receive
premiums year after year from heavy
property owners. and then when there is
danger of loss TO cancel the policies and
desert those who have been supporting
them for years.

Supreme Lodge Can't Expel Them for
Using "a Foreign Ritual.


Chicago. Aug. 12.-The German Pythians
won a signal victory in the superior court
today in the fight over blacklisting for re-
fusal 10 adopt the English ritual. Wal
deck Lodge, No. 1856, sued the supreme
lodge of Illinois. asking the court TO en-
join il from taking away the lodge char
ter, and also 10 issue writ OF mandamus.
making it give UP certain passwords.
Judge Brentano today rendered a decision
for the plaintiffs.
Waldeck lodge is composed Of German
American members. numbering about 100
There are about 1890 members of the or
der in the city. March Il last the COM
plainant, Waldeck lodge, filed bill in the
superior court praying for an Injunction
TO restrain the Grand Lodge of the state
from expelling WaldecJS lodge from the
order and from seizing its effects and
from excluding it's members from the ben
efits of the order. Subsequently. the Wal
deck lodge filed petition for a man.
daInus. asking the court TO order the
Grand Lodge TO issue 10 it the password.
in order TO obtain the benefits of the or
der. This privilege, it was shown, had
been refused by the Grand Lodge. The
court was told that the petitioners We're
natives of Germany and are more or less
unfamiliar with the English language,
and that at the time the lodge was adj
mitted by the Supreme Lodge. 1t was un-
been used in all proceedings of Waldeck
lodge. The constitution and bylaws ex-
pressly provided that all proceedings of
the lodge should be conducted In German.
The Supreme Lodge at it's meeting in
Washington City. in August, 1894. revised
It's constitution and bylaws and adopted
provisions, among which was one which
provided that the ritual of the order shall
be printed and published only in tie Eng
lish language.
In September 1894, the grand chancellor
of Illinois ordered the surrender of the
charter of the Waldeck lodge and its Ger
man ritual. and ordered that the lodge
use only the English ritual at its meet
ings. This order was promulgated to all
the German lodges and caused a good
deal of strife and dissension among the
German-speaking lodges. Waldeck lodge
refused to comply with the demand, and
the chancellor presented charges TO the
grand tribunal, charging the lodge with
violating alleged laws. The charges made
were that Waldeck lodge had assisted and
encouraged the translation and copy of
the ritual into German. contrary to the
laws of the order, and that it d:sobeyed
the orders of the grand chancellor. The
grand tribunal, after considering the
case. found the Waldeck lodge guilty of
only disobeying the order of the grand
chancellor. This finding, the lodge
deemed unreasonable and prepared TO
submit the matter TO the supreme tribu-
nal, but il was shown to the court that
the appeal to the upper tribunal was re-
fused. and the grand tribunal would not
stay its judgment which provided for the
expulsion of the lodge and the forfeiture
OF its franchise and property.
