We noticed that four years ago the
people thought That they were worse off,

there must surely be some reason for it..
Two manufacturing establishments
have been located m Iron River since
the last election, whereas, during the
previous four years many attempts TO

hundreds of mills were closed down
there being no market for their product.

NEW POTATOES IN WINTER.

Genuine new potatoes, fresh from
the soil, as in July or August, will
doubtless be considered remarkable
delicacy in midwinter. Yet just such
potatoes are now on the market in
Milwaukee, and are meeting with q
ready sale, although the novelty OF
new winter potatoes is one of the very
latest things known among produce
commission men here.
"1f you want to inspect really new
potatoes, drop in and see us, was the
request which toated into the Wis.
consin Office yesterday over the tele'
phone wire from q well.known com.
mission house on lower Broadway.
Taking the sender of this message ut
his word, the potato editor Of this
great family journal was sent out to

several barrels of new potatoes of the
Early Rose variety, with every appear

NIOlasSeS Used as Fuel.

A calculation has been made of the
comparative results, from an economi-
cal point of view, of the substitution
Of molasses for coal as a fuel which
has now for some time been practiced
in certain parts of the South. Ac-
cording to this TIE lowest grades of
vacuum pan Of molasses contain from
20 to % per cent. OF sugar, which
cannot be extracted by existing ma
chinery, and, estimating a barrel of
such molasscs to be worth net so
cents or 81, and that barrel holds
$50 pounds of molasses, the molasses
would thus be worth one or two cents
a gallon, and from one eleventh to
one-fifth of cent per pound. Now,
Pittsbvrg coal brought to the sugar
house furnace has for ten years cost
onc-tlfth of cent per pound. Mo-
lasses burns with high heat in COM
bination with wood or wood fiber, so
that by sprinkling it on the bagasse
the dry stalks of the sugar-cane
after the saccharine juice has been
pressed from it--an excellent fuel of
great power is obtained. It would
appear from these simple data, and
estimating that only one-half the
quantity Of molasses produced is used
for fuel, a substitute is furnished for
IS, 900 to 100, 900 tons of coal.

of-the-way place seemed too curious to
be merely coincidence; yet, as such she
must accept it. What would Miss Hilton
say? Should she tell her? No. Should
she tell her cousin that she was the
Margaret who had taken his fortune
from him? No, again; and she could
give herself no reason for these decis-
ions.

be thrown together" she remarked to
herself when she had left Brian few
minutes later. Il almost wish he would
not go back to Nantucket tonight. II

have an opportunity to study his char
acter. He doesn't seem to be much

I'll await developments"

night, and rose next morning still think

on THE SAINTS AT S'CONSET


| The day came in damp and chilly. The
sun refused TO make his appearance,
and the heavy fog hanging over the sea
crept stealthlly inland until the outlines
of the village were lost in its subtle,
mysterious folds
Margaret viewed the landscape from
the confined space Of her bedroom
window.
| Damp" she commented. Il dare say
shall be drowned in this mist, but out
l intend to go, nevertheless.
True to her word, she put on rubber
cloak, boots, and cap, and, feeling CON-
paratively waterproof, started for tho
deserted beach.
The mist had lifted somewhat, but
| the sea was very high, and the gulls
flew over the rolling surf like tiny dots
upon the gray horizon. Marsaret's eye
followed their graceful motion as they
dipped their wings to the secthing
waves, or rose with sweeping course to
pursue their onward flight.
| How provoking" she exclaimed. II
did think that glorious sunset meant
nice weather to-day. 1 suppose it is
rather wicked to wish for sunshine when

cistern. 1t would puzzle God to please
everybody. l wonder if those gulls

compass, her eye had encountered her
cousin, and he, seeing her at the same
moment, began to make the best of his
way to join her, waving his arms spas

added. If l had any authority, you

But you haven't any authority, and

God-forsaken hole?"
Brian caught the spice Of mischief in
these words.

explained, in answer. dreaded the ride

He threw himself beside her and fixec
his eyes upon her face. She moved

The Great Apple Crop.

In this phenomenal apple season.
chen more than 1900, 600 barrels have
already been shipped from American
ports and sold at remarkably low
prices, the so. called Albemarle pippin,
usually principal export apple, is
hardly in the trade at all, the season
being m off year for apples in Virginia.
The entire crop of this variety in that
State Is said to amount to only about
1000 barrels, and the quality Is not up
to the average of other years. a
wholesale dealer in New York City
who makes a specially of this choice
fruit, has this season handled but one
carload of 221 barrels, whereas his
trade last season comprise 10000 bar
re)s. York Imperial. another Ameri-
can favorlte in the English market, is
not seen at all this season. An aver
age price for Albemarle pippins
in England year ago was 81 ct whole
sale. Newtown pipplns, ofwhlch the AL
bemarle pippin is generally considered
synonym, are fairly plentiful in the
Hudson River district. Barrels Of this
Northern apple, which is better
keeper than the Southern fruit, sell
here at Sc for the best, but much of
the stock is inferior, and the prices for
lower grades are no higher than for
ordinary varieties of apples. In Liver.
pool thickly packed barrels Of selected
Newtown pippins brought 30 shillings,
in wholesale lots at recent sales. The
cold weather a week ago urged many
shippers to hurry apples forward from
the interior of this State so as to save
them from freezing in transit, and the
result was overstocked market and q
further drop in values. A fair whole.
sale price at wayside stations is so
cents barrel by the carload, while
ordinary quality apples bring but 60
to Is cents, and the best $l.25 to
S1.35. The barrels cost Is cents,
freight from point in this State about
as much more, with Is cents for pack
ing and 10 cents for commission, all of
which the grower pays, SO that the
only gain in m unprecedented crop
seems to be to the consumer, especial
~ if he buys by the barrels. Choice
apples cost the retail buyer $3.50 q
barreland upward, The storage houses
have been crowded with apples, and
new warehouses have been built, but
thousands of bushels are unhoused,
although every available cellar in the
apple districts has been pressed into
use. In the township of Greece, New
York, for example, the apple crop
amounts to over 100000 barrels. There
are ten drying houses and five cider
mills in the town, aud almost thous-
and men and wemen engaged in this
work, though the total population is
