cinnati, it is the simplest thing in the
world to telegraph to the railroad au-
thorities to keep the consignment NOV
ing until it reaches a town where sales
can be made at a profit. This plan is
in force with regard to all California
fruits, and since its adoption the trade
has been steadier and more satstac-
tory all around than ever it was be-
fore.
New York is by all odds the best
city in the United States so far as the
orange trade is concerned. 1t con-
sunes nearly twice as many in year
as Boston, the next heaviest consumer
and double the number that are dis
! posed of in Chicago. After Chicago
| comes Philadelphia, then Baltimore
and then ST. Louis, with the other cit
/ les trailing after almost exactly in the
order of their population. New York
also furnishes the steadiest orange
market. The reception of few extra
carloads will demoraliZe prices fear
fully in any other city, but the demand
! in New York is so heavy and steady
! that prices in its auction rooms have
| rarely been depressed below fairly
satisfactory level, no matter how large
| the supply of the fruit.
1t may seem strange to the reader
that Chicago and Philadelphia each
consume fewer oranges than Boston,
smaller city than either. but the reason
/
of New York, an expert in the trade.
Both CHICAGO and Philadelphia are un-
usually partial to bananas, and both
enjoy exceptional facilities for getting
them-ChicagO through New Orleans,
the countTy's great entrepOt for that
fruit and Philadelphia direct from the
West Indian Islands, whence most ba
nanas eaten in the United States are
obtained. When oranges are high
bananas go as we'll in either Chicago
or Philadelphia, but this is not so in
| New York.
1t may be said in passing that the
fears expressed before the beginning of
the Spanish war that hostilities would
demOTaliZe the banana trade have not
been borne out by the facts. 1t is in
a thoroughly fiourishing condition, and
has been all summer long. Cargoes
of bananas are being received with
great regularity at all the chief sea-
ports.
The number Of oranges in a box va
ries from 176 to 296. Two hundred is
probably fair average, and the total
output of California oranges may
therefore not be far from LOO 900, 900
this year. That is almost an unthink-
able number, yet if all the California
oranges offered for sale were d1strib-
uted impartally among men, women,
children and babies in the United
States they would receive only fourteen
or fifteen apiece. Piled up In the
boxes they are shipped in, though, L.
100, 900 900 oranges would make a pile
two and a quarter times as high and
of rather more than twice the diameter
of the monument to Washington at the
national capital
The importation Of foreign oranges,
once a big item of commerce between
the United States and the Mediterra-
mean ports, has virtually been wiped
out by the combined influence Of the
present tariff and the enormous Cali
fornia crop The Florida yield, though

The Idol Of The C0nfederaCy,
Winnie Davis, + las Passed AW0L


Winnie was just learning to talk, and
was the pet of every one. although the
rest of the family were often subjected
to many petty insults.
One day Winnie came to her mother
in high glee. She had learned a new
song. 1t had been taught to her by
some ladies living in the hotel.
Well, sing it for mother, them" and.
taking her little tot on her lap, the
harassed mother waited for the song.
"We'll hang Jeff Davis to a sour
apple tree" was what the child sang.
When she was told that Jeff Davis
was her own papa, for whom she pray
ed every night, the little girl scbbed
and sobbed till she was i'll.
The newspapers were full of accounts
of the illness of Mr.. Davis and of pic
lures of the prison scene when he was
supposed to be manacled. These SEN
sational reports were all the news that
Mrs. Davis could obtain from her hus-
band till contrary to his instructions
the physician at Fortress Monroe, DR..
Craven, wrote her that Mr.. Davis was
ILL., but improving and that many of the
tales told were fabrications.
After his release their return to the
South was one ovation. He had no
money nor would he accept any though
1t was offered over and over. for the
people of the South, still firm in the
belief that their principles were the
right ones, looked upon him as a mar

Wynkoop. Early in the month he

Shortly after this Mrs. Dorsey, an ard
ent secessionist, died and left her prop
erty, including the beautiful old man
sion of Beauvoir, to Mr. Davis for his
lifetime and after his death to Winnie.
Winnie was her fathers secretary and
edited all his manuscript and after his
death she turned her knowledge gained
in this way to account. The family's
circumstances were very straitened
and Winnie began her career as a
writer for the magazines
In 1886, when Jefferson Davis made
his famous triumphal tour through the
Southern States, he was ACCOMPANIED
by his daughter. 1t has been said that
he was received somewhat coldly at
first, but that the ineffable charm of
Winnie's personality captivated the
country. She was the sweet attraction
of all his journeyings, and everywhere
there were outpourings, ovations and
welcomes
At West Point. Ga, five thousand
people called for Mr.. Davis to appear
and speak. Owing to illness he was
unable to move. The doctor forbade,
any attempt to carry him out of the
car. Still thousands continued clamor-
ing for speech or a word.
At this juncture General Gordon,
COMMUNICATIVE chief of the Confederate
Veterans, went to the rear platform of
the train to persuade the populace to
moderate their demonstration. He
found Miss Winnie Davis at his side
and observed the tremendous enthusi-
asm that she evoked.
In a moment of inspiration the great
general clasped the girl around her
shoulders and in a loud, clear voice ex-
claimed Fellow countrymen. your
late President is unable to greet you,
but here is his daughter, our daughter.
the daughter of the Confederacy"
Indescribable and prolonged was the
scene. 1t has become history From
that hour the brave and beautiful girl
was the heroine of every great gather
ing in the South and welcomed royalty
as the Daughter of the Confederacy.
She succeeded her father in spirit and
in truth, receiving new benedictions
and affection everywhere through the
South.

Underwriting Devotion to Consti-

toasts drunk at a dinner at the
- Executive Mansion of the Con-
federacy the day that Winnie
Davis was christened at old st. Pauls
Church in Richmond.
Last week, thirty-three years later,
Winnie Davis was laid to rest beside
her fathers grave in Richmond, but 1t
was an escort of Northerners who
formed the guard of honor. Behind
them marched the veterans of the Con-
federate army, whose idol she was.
Born in the year when the Confeder-
acy was most secure, she was baby
two years old when her parents lied too
late to avoid capture.
When her father was taken to Fort

children were left to make their way

last days journey was made on foot.
Mrs. Davis carried Winnie, while the
two servants, Rosette and Janet, car

they could.

they were reduced to two little rooms
