Mr.. A. X. Carr, the produce buyer,
does not take rosy view of the situa-
ton so far as growers of the stuff in
which he deals are concerned. Potatoes
are worth, he says, from 20 to % cents a
bushel, delivered at the cars. The price
may be higher, he thinks. though he does
not feel at all certain that such will be
the case. The down-cOuntry onion
market is being flooded with western
stock and the price is therefore so low
that local producers will not sell. Winter
apples are worth 81 barrel. The APP
pie crop In New York is enormous and
growers there are selling freely at 10
cents barrel Our apples are, however,
of better quality than theirs and so COM
mand higher price. A year ago our
apples were worth 81 barrel. At the
present price there is very little in them
for the grower. A Middlebury farmer
who sold his fall apples a month ago
for 81 kept track of the expense of pick
ing, packing, etc, and found that the
apples themselves yielded him about lG
cents barrel, net. There is now no
MAJ ket whatever for fall apples. The
pear crop is very small, in fact there is
no crop.

ADVICE TO

The presidential campaign Is again at hand

A Remarkable rre.-

There is a wayward white oak tree
near Laporte, Ind. that may we'll puz-
zle naturalists with the vagaries of its
growth. The tree is feet in circumfer-
ence at the base, and there are no
branches of any size below 5 feet from
the ground. There the great bole di-
vides into a number of limbs. Two,
leaving the trunk about 20 inches apart,
grow west, their lines diverging for some
6 feet, and then each rending toward
the other. Twelve feet from the body Of
the tree they unite again, making per
feet oval, and out of this grow two
smaller branches. As if not satisfied
with that expressed disregard for the
laws OF nature. this old tree has per
formed another feat. Six feet from its
base grows another white oak, less than
half its size, and no sooner does the
smaller tree arrive at the charmed cir
eles of those branching limbs than one
Of them grows right into it, and is alb
sorbed. The second tree is very much
larger 20 feet from the ground than at
its base.

Beatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless plow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up
SO as to sell so far, nearly 100, 900 OF
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200,-
900 more of his make; that means a
business of $40, 900 900, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
enoe. Write or call upon Daniel F.
Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for

An amusing little story about the pres
ent emperc7 Of Germany. William ii,
and a Vien,sa roachman was narrated nc
a banquet lately given at Vienna By
some diplomatists. the narrator being
himself well known and prominent
member of the corps diplomatic.
In the year 1887 the present Emperor
William II of Germany, then Prince
William Of Prussia, came to Vienna,
visiting his particular friend and chum,
the late Crown Prince Rudolf Of Aus
tria. Joined by the Prince Of Wales,
who was at that time also frequent
visitor to the Vienna court, the three
princes took fancy to mingle with the
commons Of the Vienna population.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, they visited
places which are not in the least regard
ed as suitable for princely guests
One day they entered a hotel, but in
stead Of going into the dining room they
walked into the "schwemme, a place
which answers in some degree to the
barroom of an American hotel; in this
room coachmen and the servants of the
hotel guests take their meals.
The three princes took seats at an
empty table, and listened, highly
amused, to a fierce debate about politics
between several stout members Of that
class of fashionable Vienna coachmen
who are known all over Europe as
/ "fesche Wiener fiaker. The distinc-
+ tion of those characters is a kind Of
good natured boldness and droll famil-
iarity toward their customers as we'll as
to perfect strangers.
After listening awhile Prince William
put in a word, and soon was drawn into
the excited discussion. Suddenly a stout,
red faced coachman walked up to the
table where the three princes were seat
ed, and, tapping Prince William gently
ON the shoulder, said, Now, if you
should ever have anything 10 say in
politics, you wouldn't set a river ON fire
I'm surep'
AS every public coachman in ViennI
wears a number, this coachman was
upon a special request of Prince William
easily identified. The prince sent hin
handsome scarfpin with his initials al
thanks for the amusement he had fur
nished, and thus the man learned il
amazement whose political abilitie
they were that he had so belittled. =
