fruit crop, one Of the best for several years.
and the fruit will not only be abundant,
but OF the best quality. Secretary J. Il.

OF high color, superior flavor and good

well. More orchards have been planted in

anarchist, is going to the United States in
October, says Paris dispatch. She will
be accompanied by several prominent En-
glish anarchists, and they will undertake
speechmaking tour in America for the
purpose of advancing the anarchist propa-

Secretary Gage declined to state at
present what action, if any, would be
taken by the United States government to
prevent the landing of Louise Michel.
The matter, however, will be given serious
consideration. Mr.. Powlerly is strongly
opposed to allowing foreign anarchists
and other general disturbers of the peace
to land and he will take all proper means
to prevent Louise Michel and others of her
class from preaching their incendiary
doctrines in the United States.
