The Banner Year for Apples.

This is the banner year for apples,
says the New York Tribune, crop
of from 100000 to 100000 barrels
being looked for, exceeding any
previous annual product by from
100000 to 100000. Prices are
down 25 to so cents a barrel less than
last year, with lowering tendency
as the returns comes in, showing the
superabundance everywhere. The
bulk of the crop comes from the
West, Missouri sending the largest
contribution, exceeding that of New
York, in which it was formerly
thought that Pomona had spread her
brightest and most spacious bowers.
No American Eve or Genone need be
without her apple this year, and the
tides of applejack and cider which
will flow round the land will proba-
bly, mark the highest level known.

Everyone who loves the cause of
education has received with sorrow
the news of the destruction Of Vir-
ginia's great institution of learning,
and there can be but one sentiment
among all Virginians, that the build
ings must be restored to their orig
inal beauty and usefulness. The de-
struction of the University to the
country at large great calamity, to
us is a personal loss, and its smoking
and smouldering ruins cry aloud for
help from all the people of the old
Commonwealth. To that end meet
ings are being held in many parts of
the State and funds are being raised
to repair as far as money can the
damage wrought by the flames. An
appeal for help from Accomac is
made through committee appointed
at meeting held in the city of Rich
mond. on goth ult.. as follows:
''At a meeting of our citizens held
to-day, the following resolution, with
the preamble thereto, was unani-
mously adopted:
Every citizen OF Virginia should
feel an interest in upbuilding the seat
of learning founded upon broad and
son, regarded by him and every
friend of education with pride and
affection, and justly known as the
university of the South: therefore
be it
Resolved, That each newspaper
throughout the Commonwealth be
requested to receive a subscription
from the people for the purpose of re.
pairing the ravages of fire and restor-
ing the University of Virginia to an
enlarged sphere of usefulness, an ap-
peal to be made to each individual
for such contribution as may be
afforded, whether large or small, and
the fund so collected to be paid over
to the rector and visitors of the
University of Virginia for the uses of
that institution in its hour of nee.
We beg that you will call upon
the people of your community to make
contributions through your office.
Those present at our meeting to day
promptly subscribed $S195 90, and we
hope to collect much larger sum
from others who were not presents
Many of our large contributions have
come from gentlemen who were never
at the University, and we feel that
every citizen of the Commonwealth
shold be moved to give
something. We are confident
that an adequate sum can
be raised if the newspapers of the
State will exert their influence in the
cause; and this we are sure you and
your brethren of the press will be
glad to do. We suggest that you
secure as much as possible in cash,
publishing the name of each contrib.
utor; but to provide for those who
are able and wish to give in larger
sums we enclose the form of subscrip-
ton used by us. Please print this
form in your paper so that it may be
cut out and utilized. We hope the
hearts of our people may be touched,
and that @ generous hand may be
extended by the ladies and children.
as well as the men of Virginia"
The editor of this paper acquiesces
cheerfully in the request contained
in the above, and will be glad to re-
ceive and forward promptly any con
tribution left at this office.

Mr.. U. B. Quinby, Onancock,
Va. writes: Replying to yours
of Sept. 9th, I have to say that
some of my tenants and myself
have been using Orchilla Guano
on land for corn, 400 pounds to
the acre, for several years, and
that on an average, it has at
least doubled the crop of corn
and fodder, with exception OF
this year, when the very severe
drought we have had has cut off
all crops aAd prevented fertlli-
zers from acting. [ think Or
chilla is a great permanent land
improver, and also greatly in
creases the present crop to
which it is applied
Mr.. John II. Ashby, Belle
Haven, Va, says he has used
Orchilla for six years and it has
always given him satisfaction.

THE UNIVERSITY IN RUINS.
virginia's Great Institution of Learn.
ing Burned.

The greatest calamity which has
befallen the University OF Virginia
! since it's foundation occurred Sunday
morning in the destruction by fire of
the University buildings which have
been standing since 1926, comprising
the rotunda, the annex, the reading
rooms and old chapel. These build
ings were completely Quilted, despite
the heroic efforts of the students and
firemen, aided by engines from both
Staunton and Lynchburg.
Among the valuables destroyed are
the physical apparatus. the $4,000
painting by Bale, copied from
Raphael's School of Athens, most of
the library of rare volumes beneath
the dome of the rotupda, and part of
the law library. The statue of
Thomas Jefferson, presented to the
University by Congress, and the
Minor bust were saved, as well as the
adjacent dormitories.
The origin of the fire is shrouded
in mystery. Some cling to the sup
position that it was caused by an
electric wire; others that rats and
matches were the cause.
The loss is placed at from S1OO,OO0
to $500, 900 provided the walls can be
used again.
1t is thought that the walls can be
used again. With the exception of
few cracks and some other damage
they appear to be sound.
There was $4,000 insurance on the
library, making g total insurance of
$37, 200 on the burned buildings and
their contents. Only about one
seventh of the volumes in the library
were saved. Many valuable books and
papers, which cannot be replaced,
were burned.
The work of rebuilding will be be-
gun at once, contributions to this OBJ
ject having been already begun
among the alumni.

Mr.. w. S. Landlord writes: 1
am still using your Orchilla
Guano for the permanent i'm

fertilizer that can get for that
purpose, as well as for the pro-
duction of the immediate crops

GENERAL NEWS.

Signs multiply all over the country
that the coming winter is to arrive
early, be severe, and last long time.
Big flocks of wild geese have been
leaving Michigan for their winter
quarters during the last week CT so,
considerably ahead of schedule time,
and this the old settlers regard as a
certain weather sign.
Charles Fl. Lamson, of Portland,
Maine, who has been working on a
flying machine for some time, is at
last sure that he has achieved sue
cess. He fastens two wings on his
shoulders, runs q few steps, and the
first thing he knows he is floating
gracefully in the air. Several per-
sons in Portland have seen him do
this.
1t is said that the Oldest living man
and wife in the United States are
Louis and Amelia Darwin, of Black
Falls, Wisconsin. The husband was
born in 17SS, or one year before the
Inauguration of the first President
of the United States, and the wife
was born in 1894. They have been
married eighty years.
Congressman Lawrence McGann,
of Chicago, is in Washington on an
errand which has few parallels in
practical politics. He has represented
the I'd Illinois district for four years,
and holds certificate of election to
the 54th Congress. But he believes
that he was not fairly elected, and
has notified the clerk of the House 10
take his name off the roll His op
ponent in the election was Mr.. Geo.
Belknap, a son of ex Secretary Belk-
nap.

 The Little Waif Died Yesterday His
 Mother Committed to SpringsIde Home.
 The little four-months-old son of Mary Blackmer, who found in the Goal Mine" Wednesday. died at the Organized Charities yesterday morning and was inferred yesterday afternoon in Potters field in Westville. Medical Examiner White in his death certifi- cate gives the cause of death as ''cold, neglect and lack of proper nourish- ment" and consequently no coroner's inquest is deemed necessary. The mother of the child was yesterday re- moved to Springside home.
 The children of John Moran, who were found in the same house with their drunken father, were taken before Judge Studley in the city court yesterday afternoon and the youngest child, ten months old, was committed to Springside home and the other four children to the County home.

 How vastly different the sentiment of to-day, which says give woman a good education so as to make her independ- ent
 I had always thought that the mem- bers of the New Haven Caledonian club were very progressive, but now I am sure of it, for what other society would care to be addressed by wo- man, as public speaking is one of the many signs, so we are told, which her aids the approach of the new woman."
 I have heard her criticised from the pulpit as a being who ought to be summed, busy body, one who neglects her household duties in order ito lead public life.
 When one of your worthy members suggested that it would be good idea for some of the ladies to make a few remarks, we readily accepted the oppor- tunity.
 1 have been much interested in read ing from time to time, as no doubt you all have have, the various thrilling ac- counts of the so-called new woman.
 We hope that you like those brave fellows in foreign land may ever hear this wa'tchword ringing in your ears may it prove an impetus for you to always do your best, and so reflect honor and glory on the bonnie land O heather"
 Again we offer our congratulations May the future of the New Haven Caledonian club" know no bounds. Let nothing be too great for it to accom- plish.
 The musical program, which was very fine, was carried out by the following ladies and gentlemen: Miss N. McIay, Miss Flora Macdonald, Miss Jeanie Henderson, Miss Anna Maclauchlin, Mrs. W. Moffat, Messrs. John Deans, John Hunie, James H. Maclauchlan, | Alexander Wilson and James Mus | tarde
 The proceedings were brought to Q successful continuation by the singing of Aud Lang syne, after which dan cling was indulged in and kept up with much spirit until the "Wee short hour | ayont the twall.'
 l The following ladies and gentlemen, who had the arrangements in hand, are | to be congratulated on the success which attended their efforts: Mrs. F. | Sterling, Mrs. George Wood, Mrs. w.

SERIOUS PROPOSAL TO CREATE THE
COMMONWEALTH OF "SUPERIOR."

Michigan. Minnesota and Wisconsin to
Contribute to Its Territory-Wouid Re
One of the Richest In the Union. lsspe.
clally In Minerals.
1t is seriously proposed to create a
new state by taking y part Of tho three
states Of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan, which will be known as the
state of Superior" Or ''thc Mineral
State" This idea is Il modification of
the new state plan so often repeated,
and it's creator is Captain. Alex Nc
Dougall. tho inventor Of tho whaleback.
Captain McDougall would cut out a
territory bounded on the north by Can
ada, on tho west by the Mississippi riv-
or, OH the south by a line drawn from
the Mississippi river along the southern
boundary of the northern tier of Wiscon-
sin counties and terminating at the TX
IRENE tip Of the upper peninsula. OF
course tho eastern boundary line would
lie in the lakes, but that is immaterial
to tho plan.
What is aimed at particularly is to
place the three great iron ranges-thc
Vermillion, the Mesaba and the Goge'
