France as French Fruit.

Washington, Aug. 19.-The French
people who have for so long imposed
upon a credulous American public by
shipping back to them as the finest of
French products Maine herring and
southern cottonseed oil in the shape of
sardines and olive oil are now suffer-
ing from a counter imposition which is
brought to light by United States Con-
sui German at Zurich.
In the course of a report to the state
department on the subject of American
fruits in Switzerland. he speaks of the
success that has attended the introduce
ton in France last season of California.
prunes and then following out the pros
poets thus opened UP, he says that
French receivers are arranging to have
all such fruit packed in cases similar
to those used in France, using French

Land.

Detroit, Aug. ia San Francisco
woman is in the city who lays claim
to a portion of Belle Isle park, and also
the land on which the Brush street de-
pot stands. She is the widow of Mr..

mortgage for $3.50 on the Brush street

VACATIONS FOR CHILDREN.
The Scheme Has Steadily Grown in
Favor in Europe.

Washington, Aug 19-It is 20 years
since the vacation colony movement for
children was inaugurated in Zurich,
Switzerland, and Consul Eugene Ger
main in report to the state depart
ment gives some facts and figures in
regard to the plan during that time. 1t
was evolved by Rev. w Bion. a clergy
man of Zurich, who in 1876 succeeded
in obtaining subscriptions which en-
abIed him to send a number of chill
dren, divided into two colonies, to the
mountain canton of Appenzeu for
a period of two weeks. Sixty eight
boys and girls enjoyed the vacation
the first year and since that time the
number benefited has steadily in
creased, last year 2,19S having been
sent to the colony. The toaI number
in 20 years was q, 729.
Beginning in 1881, children who could
not leave the towns to the number of
%, 344 were supplied with fresh bread
and milk twice a day in order to com
pensate them in a measure for the loss
of the vacation trip. The example of
Switzerland, says Consul German, was
soon followed by other countries, espe-
cially Germany, where 1875 cities have
adopted the plan and established colo
MES. Since 1885 children to the num-
Der of z31, GIL have been cared for by
them.
The means of support of these colo
MES are furnished principally by voIun-
tary contributions and also by cOntri-
buttons from municipal governments.
In Switzerland a part of the profits of
the federal alcohol monopoly is set
aside for this purpose, and in Zurich
concerts, fairs, etc, are held in the
winter and the proceeds given to the
colonies

MORE "JOURNALS''
Must be Printed Every Day-32 New
Subscribers. Yesterday.

Each day brings the State JoArnal
more readers; some say they want it
for some special feature and some for
another, but the grand cOncensus of
opinion is that they get all kinds of
news in the Journal. They not only
find what they agree with but what
they disagree with. To read the Jour

men. You get information on every
side of every question. This broadens

SANTA FE PROTESTS.
Regard Their Assessment in Colorado
as Too High.


E. T. Cartilage, tax commissioner of
the Santa Fe, returned this afternoon
from Denver where he appeared before
the Colorado state board of equalization
for the purpose of asking for a read
justment of the Santa FEES tax assess
ment for this year. Mr.. Cartilage pro-
tested against the taxable valuation
placed upon the property of that sys-
tenn as being excessive and unjust, and
in making his protest said:
L want to state that the Santa Fe
railroad has made a full and fair return
of its property, and I want to enter
protest against the assessment made
by this board as being excessive and
unjust. We have turned in S1OO, 900
worth of rolling stock this year more
than we did last year properly classi-
fed, and the classification has not been
taken into account by this board. I OBJ
ject to our line between here and Pueblo
being increased, and I object to our
locomotives being assessed at So, 500 a.
piece. They are not worth that on an
average"
The board refused to take any action
and the matter still remains at a stand
still. If not satisfactorily settled the
company will probably take the matter
into court.

WATSON SCORES sEWALL.
Says He is the Soothing Syrup of the
Campaign for Mon opoIists.


Chicago, Aug 19-The Posts Wash
ington special says:
Thomas E. Watson the Populist vice
presidential nominee, is out with an
other statement. In his comments on
Mr.. Bryan's New York speech and the
conduct of the campaign in general,
Watson says: ITO expect to defeat
Mckinley without saying a word
against Mckinley is something new I'M
der the sun but Mr.. Bryan's silence
was proper and necessary He could
not afford to denOunce protection while
Mr.. SeWall, his running mate, is so well
known as a prOtectiOnist. Mr. SeWall
is even now acting in league with the
Republicans to secure legislation which
viii levy tribute upon every American
consumer of foreign goods IN the selfish
interest of the New England shipbuild-
ers, of whom he is one, and just as
web Mr.. SeWall's presence on the ticket
prevented Mr.. Bryan from assailing ma
tinnal banks of issue and the Republi-
can doctrine of protection.
so the same baneful influence pre-
vented him from denOuncing railroad
monopoly and eXtOrtiOn, Mr.. Sewau be-
ing a cOrpOratiOnist of lusty proper
tons himself. In fact, it seems the
mission of Mr.. Sewall in the campaign
is to act a contradiction to Mr..
Bryan and the Chicago platform. For
instance, Mr.. Bryan said in one of his
speeches the other day that if he should
be elected the people who elected him
would not be found asking favOrs of the
government We had not quite fin
dshed clapping hands over this state
ment before it was made clear to US
that the men who were backing the
ticket in New England will demand
chat the government levy a fine upon
every citizen who dares to buy foreign
goods which are not brought to this
country in the ships of Mr. Sewall and
his Republican colleagues.
Mr.. SeWalps presence on the ticket
was meant to say to the privileged
classes of the north and east. Don't
get scared at Bryan's speeches I will
see to it that the present state of things
Is not disturbed In other words, Sew
all is the soothing syrup of the cam
paign for the monOpOlists and he is re-
lied upon to keep northern and eastern
Democrats from Wailing too much I'M
der the inflictiOn of Bryan's POpulistic
prOcliVities."

Evil Doings in Smoky Row.

Another tale of darkness. Another
robbery in Smoky Row. A colored
damsel, and a prominent white man
whose name is kept hidden. This is
what happened Monday night. About
II o'clock a white man with $50 cash
in his pocket made a visit to Smoky
Row. There he met a cOiored woman
who didn't do a thing but take his
money away from him. The man re-
ported the affair to the police and Jo-
hanna Dupree, a notorious colored wo-
man, was arrested. The police feel
reasonably sure that the woman robbed
the white man, but as the latter refused
to give his name to the police. and
further refuses to prosecute the woman,
nothing can be done but discharge her
