great deal Of activity noticeable. There
have been sales Of small lots of print cloths,
extras for July delivery at 2kc. Prints are
still irregular, and the, trade in fancies has
the peculiar season. Staples are steady and
without feature. There is no change in

CUT IN COFFEE.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE latest ep sode in
the war of the Sugar Refining company inter
ests and Arbuckle Bros is another reduc: ion
of nc in the price of coffee, by the Woolson
Spice company. The war between the COM
panies was begun because the Arbuckles were
preraring to go into the sugar refining bust
ness. The Woolson company is controlled by
the Sugar Refining company interests. The
reduction brings the price to 10c pound. 1t
is expected that the Arbuck.es viii make
similar reduction.

OFFICIALS INDICTED.
For Failure to Close Pool Rooms
at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE July 2.-The grand
jury this afternoon returned indict-
ments against the three members of
the board of public. safety, Col. R. J.
Tilford, Charles A. Wilson and Daniel
o. O'Sullivan and Chief of Police
Thomas H. Taylor, charging them
with malfeasance in Office. The indic1-
ments charge that the defendants,all Of
whom have control of the Louisville
police force, have wilfully and fla
grantlv violated and neglected the city
in failing to close three pool rooms
in this city. True bills were returned
against the Turf exchange the New
market and the Suburban pool rooms
and against the. private policemen
who watch these resorts. 1t is the
elimination of an effort started some
time ago to close the pool rooms and
stop all gambling.

The fact is that there is only a limited de-

PEACHES WITHOUT DOWN.
Remarkable Results OF Maryland
Horticulturists Experimenting.

Remarkable Results OF "a Maryland
HOrticulturist's Experimenting.
Mr.. William p. Winter, a retired car
penter, who lives at No. s26 North Carey
street, has entered heart and soul into
the wizard business with remarkable
results. In a coy little back yard of
Mr. Winters home grows a peach tree
that has produced annual crops of
luscious fruit for a number of years.
Two years ago Mr.. Winter grew weary
Of the conventional covering Of the
peaches in his limited orchard, and de-
termined at least to produce n peach
minus that Objectionable nap or down.
He began a series of experiments,
and that year produced a peach clothed
in the ordinary raiment of the banana;
but, not satisfied with the result of his
startling assault on nature, he has sue
ceeded in producing a crop which is
just now ripe, that looks for all the
world like a tree full of apples. The
skin of the fruit is perfectly smooth
and of dark red hue, shading grad
ually into n yellow that Mr.. Winter
claims is a remnant of the banana skin.
Next year." said he, Il will have an
orange skin on them"
The method employed by Mr.. Winter
to produce these startling results is a
profound secret and he is preparing to
copyright the scheme. Grapevines, as
well as peach trees, tremble before the
skill of the ex-carpenter, and among
the curious things that thrive in the rear
of s26 North Carey street is vine of
this sort that bears at this time ripe
grapes as sweet as honey and usually
large, half-ripe grapes, blossoms and
buds, which Mr.. Winter expects to ripen

LETTER FROM BYNUM
He Issues an Address to the
National Democrats.
.RESULTSOF ELECTIONS SUMMARIZED
Chairman OF the National Democratic
Committee Congratuiates the Party
on Its WorIS-vote In Ken
tucky and other States.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2i-1ton. w. d.
Bynum, chairman of the National DEM
ocratic committee, has issued the fol-
lowing address TO the National Dem
ocracy:
The results of the recent elections
were in nowise discouraging TO the
success OF the principles for which the
National Democratic party has been
battling. The silver organization lost
the states of Ohio and Maryland, with
the legislatures, which will choose
United States senators. In Kentucky
the silver candidate had a majority of
only 1913, with $1,000 electors-a majori-
" of whom were unquestionably for
sound money-not voting. The Nation
al Democratic vote OF the state was
twice as large as It was last year. while
the loss in the free silver vote was 4O,-
O0O.
In Iowa the Democratic sound money
vote was doubled, Notwithstanding the
silver candidates abandoned that issue
and pleaded for support on state mat
ters The sound money vote in both
Kentucky and Iowa would undoubted-
~ have been much larger had IL not
been for the fact that the names of all
the local candidates for county offices
appeared on the ballots under the free
silver state tickets and emblems. there
by compelling sound money electors 70
scratch their tickets or vote the free
silver state ticket In order to vote for
local officers.
In Massachusetts our vote was In
| creased 25 per cent, while that of the
free silver candidates was reduced IN
the same ratio. In Nebraska the free
silver majority was reduced while
South Dakota deserted the cause
The efforts of the National Democrat
ic organization last year were to aid
I'm saving the credit Of the nation from
dishonor. It's mission in the future will
/ be, If possible, to preserve the true prin-
! ciples of Democracy until Judgment and
reason shall again dominate the coun.
ellis Of the party and its ancient creed be
restored to its platform. Then and not
till then, viii the work Of the National
Democratic party be accomplished and
its organization cease to be an inde-
pendent force.
The hrmer the convictions and the
bolder the courage Of National Demo-
Gratis the sooner will the country be
freed from the blighting influence OF
| impending disaster.
No compromise with dishonor. nc
surrender Of principle to expediency is
the shibboleth of the National Democ.

party should stand by his convictions
