American Fruit In London.

Two large consignments-some TO-
900 packages in all-of American fruits
Of the distinctly perishable sort reach
ed the London market in good condi-
tion last week, and were sold at auc-
tion at prices eminently satisfactory to
the shippers. This marks the success,
and on a large scale. of an enterprise
that never would have been under
taken by persons not possessed Of
much courage or carried through ex-
cept by those with much persistence.
The difficulties in the way were many,
and had long been considered insuper-
able, but the American fruit growers
and dealers needed a new outlet for
their product and determined to get 1t.
They met with repeated failures at
first, but lesson was learned from
each, and now adequate facilities for
this trade have been developed or
created, and 1t is as firmly established
as that in wheat or heiresses.

He came to New York q few years ago

piety than anything else and has been
o. late living at an uptown hotel. Odd
~ enough. the early pisty instiiled In
hin was not lasting; he had slipped
nom grace at divers times and In 4
certain way cultivated . taste for the
cup that cheers. There arrived At his
hotsi recently = little party from his
home city. The party consisted of an
Old gentleman. his wife and their
daughter. The old man was a friend
OF the young mans father. and the
young man had slight acquaintance
with both father and daughter. The
elesfiy man asked the younger man to
Aiss with him in the evening, and the
Invitation was accepted. When the
dinner hour rolled around the little
party strolled into the dining-room.
Ihey found the room filled to over
howing and 1t was impossible to get
Tour seats together After some delay
II was arranged that the elderly couple
snould sit at one table and the young
man and the daughter sat at another.

FACING a dinner with a cocktail He
Knew well the feeling of his host on
this subject. but he wanted the cocktail
BADLY. He knew the waiter also. and.
caihng him over, told him quietly to
orins cocktail in teacup. The
waiter smiled knowingly and went off.
shortly he returned with teacup and
the young man alone knew it contained
cheering mixture of whisky and bit
ters. The waiter was in his day and
generation wise man. He had seen
tnis particular man drink in the house
under all conditions. but never by
stealth. He set his gigantic brain to
work and he evolved the idea that the
secrecy was for the benefit Of the girl.
and 80 he set the cup down directly in
front of her and smiled with self
satisfied smirk at the man. The man
glowered and choked, but could
say nothing. The girl looked suspi-
ciously at the cup. and then picked
1t up and smelled 1t. Then a great
light came into her face and she fairly
beamed. She raised the cup to her lips
and. pausing, smiled across at the
man and said softly. 1T was so kind
Of you! Just what wanted No one
but you would have thought OF it. Pos

the mellow liquid flowed down the
girls throat the man sat and blinked
and blinked. Now he thinks that the
younger generation of that village is
not SO bad after all. and he is talking
of making a long-postponed visit to

All Glasses Pleased With the Change

Washington, Sept. 10. - Colonel Brigham, assistant secretary Of agri- culture, has returned from a trip to New England. He reports that the people of the section generally ex- press themselves as pleased with the change that has taken place in indus trial conditions. While the farmers are especially delighted on account of the enhanced value of their pro- ducts, there is no disposition on the part of others to grumble because they realize that their markets will improve as the condition of the ag- ricultural interests changes for the better
 Colonel Brigham st1l. holds to the opinion that the aggregate value of the entire crop of the country will be almost if not quite s50O,OO0, ,O00 in ex- cess of that of last year, and says that such a turn in the affairs of the farming community must of neces- sity produce improved conditions throughout the country.

He descended the canyon to Red Rock, below Point Lookout, and while walking around slipped and started to roll down the slanting can yon wall, some 1,500 feet. He man aged to roll over on his back, and by digging his heels and elbows into the sand he slackened his speed until he struck projecting ledge on the brink of a precipice 600 feet high. He was discovered by tourists, who lowered a rope to him, pulling him up. Dur ing his descent Hills clothes were all most torn from his body and the sand scraped off considerable skin.

Henry Morse, a cowboy, in the employ of the Pitch Fork Cattle company, filled himself with bad whisky of the fighting kind and went to the round I'D camp and ordered the COOK, Bob Jackson, to prepare supper for him on short order. Thinking that the cook was not moving just fast enough, he fired at him, hitting him just above the heart. The ball passed through the body, coming out in the back just under the right shoulder blade, and killing Jackson instantly. Morse then proceeded to terrorize the camp, car rying out the impression of being a bad man. He beat some of the boys 1er the head with his six-shooteI and at last fired into the tent where a cowboy named West was sleeping
 barely missing him. West came out and asked what was wanted. Morse

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. IDA state of panic exists at Heber, a summer re- sort in Cleburne county, over the ex- citement caused by a religious sect calling themselves the Order of Holi- ness.
 Two disciples preached a strange doctrine. Marriage was denounced as ungodly, ordinary religion was de clared to be fraud upon the credulity of men, and labor Of all kinds was said to be unnecessary.
 The disciples called upon men and women to renounce their marriage vows, quit work and be joyful.

New Castle, Colo, Sept. 10.-The worst wreck in the history of the state of Colorado occurred at 12:50 this morning on the track of the Denver & Rio Grande and the Colorado Mid land railways, one ana a half miles west of this place. It is impossible to secure more than an estimate of the loss of life and not half of those known to be dead have been identi- fled. It is possible that the number of killed will always be m doubt From the best information optainable fully thirty persons are believed to have perished, while eighteen were taken out of the wreck suffering from ser;- ous injuries.
 The wreck was caused by a head end collision between the Denver & Rio Grande passenger train, running forty miles an hour, and a special Colorado Midland stock train running thirty miles an hour. So terrible was the concussion that both engines, the baggage and express cars, the smoker and aaE coach and TWO stock cars were totally demolished. To add to the horror of the scene the wreckage caught fire from an explosion of the Pintsch gas tank on the passenger train, a5@>burned 50 rapidly that Nmany 9fssengf pinned beneath the debris were b1l.ed to death before help fcould reach them.
 The most generally accepted theory Sf the cause of the wreck is that Con ductor Burbank of the Midland spe- cial, anticipating the time of the pas senger, undertook to "steal a sta tion" and beat the passenger into New Castle
 The list of the identified dead is:
 J. F. KEENAN,, mail agent, Denver
 ROBERT s. HOLLAND, fireman of the D. R. & G., of Salida.
 MRS. ALEXANDER HARTMAN and two sossr-o of Herchel, III.
 JAMES ERRICK, or Chicago, III.

then fired again at West. but missed the second time, and before he could lire a third time West fired, shooting Morse through the heart.
 Harry Morse had the reputation of being bad man and every one thinks it is we'll that the country is rid of him. Bob Jackson was a hard work ing man, liked by all who knew him. There is a great gloom in the camp over his loss
 A coroner's inquest was held upon the two bodies and the jury exon erated West from all blame in the matter, rendering a verdict that the killing of Morse was justifable.
