barrels will be loaded on cars at CoYes-

be consigned direct from the owners in AL

a few will so to jobbers in Atlanta, Sa-
vannah and Charleston.
The largest single shipper at COVeSVille
is the BOaz estate, whose two farms ex-
tend to within a mile of the station. A
bona-fide offer of $4,000 has beer declined
for the apple crop of these two farms and
markets. This estate will yield this season

Speaking of Marriage.
Spectator, in the outlook.


Il can't sit for you after to-day, sir,
said the model of a celebrated artist. I'm
going to be married tomorrow" "To-mor-
row." cried the artist aghast. why did
you not tell me so before?" Then it ap-
peared that the young woman had only met
her prospective husband the previous day.
Aren't you running a great riSk?' urged
the artist "Ali marriage is risk re-
turned the model, imperturbably. Than
which no truer word was ever spoken. All
marriage certainly lis risks" Nobody. not
the most enlightened sage, marries with the
solid ground of Il safe choice under his
feet. In every marriage undertaken there
is a delightful insecurity which appeals to
the spirit of adventure that beats in every
normal bosom. Not Coelebs, certainly not
the Spectator, not any human being that
the Spectator has ever known, is actually
equipped to choose his mate.
The only wonder is that there are so many
happy choices, and that marriage is, after
all is said, most delectable con-
dition. When scion of a
great house takes unto himself a
healthy cook as helpmate, and
when the cherished daughter marries a
sturdy blicklayer there is lamentation and
sorrow and great cutlery, but-there is no
doubt in the world that all these 'wretched
mistakes go to strengthen the race Il
whole. The radical wisdom of such errors
is as undOubted as is their individual folly.
To go a step further in this law of COM
penSatiOn, what a horror we would create
on earth--a veritable hell in our midst-did
criminals wed only criminals. There seems
no more pitiful spectacle than that of
good wife linked to an evil one but there
is something far worse. When we see the
children of parents who are both GRIM
inals then we have seen the saddest and
most hopeless sight the, world offers, If
criminals might be forbidden marriage, that
would be something else; but marry they
do, and marry they will until mankind bet
ter regulates the spread OF the criminal
temperament by some kind of legislation
concerning criminal marriages. That is an

THE LEPERS OF NEW YORK.

Dr. Isadore Dyer, of Louisiana, a special
ist on leprosy, and until recently president
of the state board of control of the Lee
pers' Home, Louisiana, is severe in his de-
nunciatiOn of the action of the New York
Board of Health in discharging the lepers,
who were, until recently, confined on North
Brother Island. because" he says,
"one or two provincial medical men of the
city have seen tit to disagree from the
opinion of experts who see, each of them,
more lepers in a week than any of these
custodians of the public health have seen
in lifetime. In the light of the conclusions
reached by the Berlin LeprOSy Conference.

iation and confinement of lepers wherever
possible The incurablity of the disease
was conceded. and it was recommended as
a means toward its extinction first, isola-
ton; second, reporting and registering all
cases of leprosy, as is done with other con-
tagious diseases. and third, law enabling
the authorities to take such steps in regard
to epers in the matter of their residence
as are applicable to the special social con-
ditions of the district in which they are
found.
Charles G. Wilson, president of the Board
of Health Of New York, declined to reply
to DIR. Dyer. He said that the authorities
would take no action regarding the lepers.
1t is probable, he said, that the government
will establish a laZaretto for the care of
those in the United States, but he has no
idea where it is likely to be located.
1t is estimated that there are at present
1000. 600 lepers in the world. of whom 20,~

plan for suite of studios which should be

which should offer a proper setting to many

enthusiasts, who saw in it valuable
chance for the less successful workers in

Those who came to New York from other
