LONDON. Oct. 2I.-The Times this
morning prints 4 letter from Mr.. More
ton Frewcn. dated Mt Chicago, express
ing confidence in Bryan's election. He
is certain, he says, that Mr.. Mckinley
must carry seven OF the great central
states in order to. avoid being beaten.
The Times points out edltorIally that
its correspondent In New York, who has
hitherto maintained that the Republl-
cans nrc In little danger OF defeat, sends
n dispatch yesterday admitting that the
situation IN Chicago Is dIsauieting.
The most serious factor" says the
Times, ''is the prominence which Mr..
Bryan now gives to the socialist side OF
his policy"
The Times adds: THE victory OF those
doctrines would be fatal to all conf
dencc, Mr.. BryHn's election would be
calamItOus not only 10 America, but to
all the civilized world even though nc
tIve legislative spoIlntIon might not I'M

you that I know that they will not

They do not hoard wheat when wheat Is

the price begins to fall they begin to get

TRANspLANT1NG A BIG TREE
Just before midnight one night in the
middle of February last cherry tree
with earth attached, weighing 123 tons,
began the passage from the Jefferson
Knowles estate on Pawtucket and
Fletcher streets to the grounds OF ex-.
Mayor Fields residence in Middlesex
street.
The tree was on q sled, and the
way it got there is an interesting
story. During the cold snap trench
was dug around the tree, which is an
old one and grown on the grounds.
The trench described q circle SIX feet
from the treee. It was several feet
deep. The tree was propped up so
that it could not fall, and then the
earth was dug from under the roots
until the tree stood free, that q plat
form of earth Q feet deep and IL feet in
diameter, clung to it. The roots and
the frost held the earth intact.
Then the tree was tipped over
gently with jacks to measure its
length on the ground, so that the II
foot circle of horizontal earth was
made perpendicular. More jackscrews
were used to raise the circle of frozen
earth. 30 that the sled was slipped
under it, and then 1t was lowered and
the horses pulled the combination out
