Bees In Orchards.

Many fruit-growers do not thoroughly
appreciate the value of bees in an or
chard, or there would be more orchards
with bees in them. Their value in an
orchard was demonstrated in a most
practical way at the Oregon Experiment
Station some years ago. A few peach
trees were forced into bloom in NOvem-
ber, and a colony of bees was placed in
the house when the trees began to
bloom. For several days, however, a
heavy fog prevented the bes from work
ing; although the flowers were open,
not a bee was seen upon them. The first
bright day the bees set to work at once,
and remained at work so long as there
was anything for them. The result was

THEY WON THEIR BET.

A good story is current Of trick
tribe by the Rogers Brothers, the celo-
brated German comedians. 1t runs this
way: Some one made the rash assertion
that clever people, real talent, without
special favor or financial backing had
no chance on the stage in these degen-
crate days of the drama. The assertion
was challenged, and wager was made,
as a result Of which the Rogers broth
ers undertook to prove that merit would
win-that good stage work could win
public approval even without prestige
or other advantage. place at Con-
ey Island was selected where there
was certain to be large crowd. The
arrangement with the manager was
simply that two amatuer Dutch COM
edians would wind up the show with a
trial sketch" Just before the per-
Torrance closed the comedians, In all
the glory of grease and paint, wigs ana
beards. but made up entirely unlike
their usual stage appearance, came pc
fore the audience. 1t was rumored
about that two amateurs were to take
part in the programme, and everybody
Turned out to see the fun. To the man
ayers surprise, the comedian made a
veritaIble hit, and the innovation made
the audience happy over the rare good
fun. Encore followed encore. Mean
time actors from the various shows
at the island swelled the audience until
1t was quite impossible to carry the
deception further.
Its the Rogers brothers!" shouted
somebody.
Three cheers for the Rogers broth
ers,' shouted somebody else, and they
were given with will by the audience,
and the loser paid the bet.

FINEST ON EARTH.
European Military Representatives
Amazed at the Capacity Of Ameri-
can Volunteers.

Washington, July 25.-Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin tonight made public a
statement of the progress made in the
organization of the regular and volun-
teer armies of the United States up to
and including July "A. In the ninety
days which have elapsed since the
President issued his first call for vol
unteers, an army Of PSI, AGO men has
been recruited, mustered, equipped and
placed in the field, an achievement
that has ELECTED surprise and adm.ra-
tion from the best informed military
authorities of Europe.
The personnel Of the army is far
superior to that of any body of men
hitherto raised for military purposes
by the United States.
OF the 216,500 volunteers authorized
by Congress, 212,000 have been placed
in the field, nearly all of them fully
equipped. In few days the entire
volunteer army will be thoroughly Or
ganized into regiments, brigades, d.
visions and army corps. The aptitude
for military discipline and instruction
which the volunteers have evinced has
created surprise among the represent
atives of foreign governments with the
United States army. They agree that
the Americans are the finest soldiers in
the world.

BASE BALL SITUATION.
No New Light Thrown Upon 1t Yes
terday-A Pittsburg Pitcher.

! No new light was thrown upon the
Interstate League base ball situation
Yesterday. Mr.. Howell's telegram
from Fort Wayne promised definite in
formation within few days, and he
will therefore await developments. In
the meantime, he is looking about for
material to strengthen the team in the
box. Mr.. Howell thinks he could ad-
vance several pegs in the race, if he
had three good pitchers. He can
secure Mahaffey, and yesterday he re-
ceived a letter from President Wat
kins, of the Pittsburg club, who agrees
to farm out a pitcher who was one of
the best in the New England league
last year, provided Wheeling will pay
his expenses from New York and his
salary for the remainder of the season.
Irve Brodie is with the Fort Wayne
club, and would be a 1:g drawing
card if he were selected to complete
the trio Of twirlers
1t is understood that President Pow
er is now in Fort Wayne trying to
straighten out the financial entangle-
ment in that city. 1t is probable that
the matter may be patched up in such
way that the franchise will remain
there.
