Remarkable Results of q MARYLAND

From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Mr.. William P. Winter, q retired
carpenter, who lives at s26 North
Carey street, has entered heart and
soul into the wizard business with re-
markable results. In a cosy little
yard back of Mr.. Winters home grows
a peach tree that has produced annual
crops of luscious fruit for number of
years. Two years ago Mr.. Winter
grew weary of the conventional COW
ering of the peaches in his limited
orchard, and determined at last to
produce a peach minus that obJec-
tionable nap or down.
He began series of experiments,
and that year produced peach cloth
ed IN the ordinary raiment of the
banana; but, not satisfied with the re-
suit of his startling assault on nature,
he has succeeded in producing crop,
which is just now ripe, that looks for
all the word like tree full Of apples.

ter claims is remnant of the banana

The method employed by Mr.. Win
ter to produce these startling results
is profound secret, and he is prepar-
ing to copyright the scheme. Grape
vines, as well as peach trees, tremble
before the skill of the ex-carpenter,
and among the curious things that
thrive in the rear or s26 North Carey

MONEY IN ATHLETICS.

The pccuniary side or college athletics
is not without interest. even to those who
enjoy the sport for the sake of the fun
there is in It. The financial footings as
shown in reports from some Of the big
colleges reach imposing figures and .ndl-
cate that a sport loving public INDUCES
itself regardless OF cost. Last year the re-
ceipts of Yale Princeton. Harvard and the
University of Pennsylvania from sporting
events. amounted to the snug sum OF S2O3.-
1896. while the money taken in by many
other educational institutions all over the
country in the same time and for the same
purpose amounted to many thousands
more.
But it seems the business Is sometimes
conducted at a loss in spite of the. large
amounts received The University of Penn
sylvania. for instance took in during the
season S46959.S5 but the expenditures We're
s5S.04Il making a clear loss OF more than
S60O0. The other colleges mentioned made
a little money
1t is interesting 10 note some of the
items of expenditure given by the Penn
sylvauia team. Among them are $1,000 for
hotel bills. 1850 for training table" 81 900

these football expenses which brought

er. The items are not given. and every
thing. therefore. is left to the imagina-
tion. Doubtless a Soodlv portion of it
went for surgeons bills; some OF it, possi-
bly,. was spent for barrels Of arnica and
other lotions used for bruises and wrenched
limbs: courtplaster by the 100 yards may
have been a portion of the supplies laid in
by the managers, besides many rolls of
bandages. These are all legitimate OBJ
jects of expenditure in a football game, and
may account in a large degree for the
deficit
And then there are other items which
college boys usually include in their ex-
pense accounts for parental inspection un-
der the head of 'sundries" The sundries
in football especially after the game, are
doubtless many and costly

LEW WALLACE FOR SENATOR.

| The announcement by General Lew Wal
lace that he intends TO become candidate
! for United States senator from Indiana is
made the occasion by Il Cincinnati paper
for the publication of an entertaining story
| about how President Garfield came TO APP
! point General Wallace minister 10 Turkey.
AS the story is relate! by General Wallace
! himself there can be no question of its au-
| thenticity.
4 was surprised to receive one day"
says the general, "A telegram from Pres-
| dent Garfield asking me to come to Wash
ington at once. l did so. Arriving at the
White House | called upon the president.
I when he said to me: General. / want you
to so as the representative of the govern

President Garfield that l did not care to 90

cline. Well said the president, i have
just been reading Ben Hur. and if you

Ireland the first news l received from this
country was the announcement of Presi-
dent Garfeld's assassination. | wrote the
Prince of India. and during the entire
time l was gathering the materials | had
that promise to President Garfield in
mind"
This narrative suggests the memory that
government service was responsible in the
first place for the launching of General
Wallace in the world OF letters. It was
while serving a United States officer in
the Mexican war that he received the in
spiration for his first book, The Fair
Cod 1t was this Mexican experience. too.
which led him to bolt the nomination of
General Zachary Taylor for president and
guided him into the paths which led to Re-
publicanism Taylor had cast some refiec-
uons upon the conduct of the Second In
diana regiment at the battle of Buena
Vista which Wallace believed were unde-
served and which he denounced from the
stump.
1t Is rare indeed that such a combination
OF qualities is found in one man as those
presented by General Wallace. DESPITE the
elements of incongruity which would seem
10 exist between the three he has risen TO
the front rank as Il soldier. as an author
and as diplomat. If the legislature of
INDIANA should select him for senator he
would no doubt. adapt himself to the sit
uation with the same facility which has
marked him in other stations.
