two why they wanted to join the navy.
They replied that they had come in
from lumber camp and had spent all
their money and had none to pay their
way back, and they had decided to en-
list They We're two Of the most per-
feet men physically examined, and
they were accepted.
One man told Mr.. Denig he wanted
to run an engine. Mr.. Denig asked
him what experience he had had, and
he replied that he had run a thrash
Ing" machine two years, and lit hadn't
busted yet"
Mr.. Denig told the man that the only
thrashing machine used at sea were
battleships, and he did not think he
could operate one of those without
busting it, and he let him go back to
the wheat fields.
A splendid looking fellow called in
the afternoon and said he wanted to
be a sailor. Boatswain Pierce looked
sharply at him and asked him:
Don't you remember me?"
The applicant said he never had
seen him before.
You were on the Adams in the Pa
cific twenty years ago." said the
boatswain.
The man admitted it.
Il was with you on that boat. You
left the service, and remained"
The man then recalled the boat
swain to memory. and there was mu
tual exchange of courtesies. Boatswain
Pierce introduced the man to Lieut..
Cook and said he knew he would make
an excellent seaman, and the lieuten-
ant told him to secure his perpetual
service papers and he would be accept
ed.
Several men applied yesterday who
had been drinking, and Lieut.. Cook
warned them that it would be better
for them to stay here rather than go
to sea if. they were addicted to that
habit. He told them they would not
be allowed to drink on board ship,
and they should not risk too much on
that account. They promised not to
touch another drop and were accepted.
They will not be sent East, however,
If they appear again under the inf1u-
ence of liquor.

MAKES A GOOD SHOWING
COMMISSIONER DEARTH'S STATE
MENT OF 1897 BUSINESS
Shows the Amount of Insurance
Written Within the State to Have
Greatly Increased Since IS98-NO

Insurance Commissioner Dearth yes
terday completed his preliminary
tables, giving a grand summary of the
insurance written in this state in 1897

fidelity and general casualty compan-
les; old line life insurance companies,

tons and societies
The showing made in the aggregate,
Commissioner Dearth says, is a most
f1attering one. Not only have the
amounts written in risks greatly in
creased over 1896, except in very few
cases, but the capital stocks, and as
sets Of the companies have been greatly
strengthened.
1t is interesting to note the increase
in all branches of fidelity insurance
business. The only class of insurance
written last year where no losses were
incurred was title insurance These
companies made profit of $685. with
out paying out a dollar in losses. The
low rate of loss in plate glass, burglary,
surety and steam boiler insurance is
also worthy Of mention.
The business done by the old line life
companies shows a large increase.
The losses paid last year were quite
large, being 1888, 944, as against total
premiums received, $2,676,272
A perusal Of the figures of fraternal
societies and cooperative assessment
companies is interesting because Of the
large increase Of membership during
the year and consequently a proper
tiOnate increase in premiums outstand-
ing on the Companies books.

Several Other Witnesses.
j. M. Hannaford, general traffic
manager of the Northern Pacific, was
called, but quickly retired when it
was shown that his road had no rela-
lions whatever with the kind Of traffic
under investigation.
Samuel G. Stickney, general man
ager Of the Chicago Great Western,
then took the stand. His testimony
was brief, also, and to the effect that
he knew nothing Of payments being
made to the milling interests on ac-
count of rebates. He said his road
handled, in fact, only about per cent
OF that business. No commissions were
paid by his company for securing flour
shipments, and he was not aware Of
the resort to any device by the prac-
tice OF which consignment over his line
might be secured at rates below the
regularly published tariffs
William Orr general freight agent Of
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic,
was sworn. He very frankly said that
where American lines made tariffs
which, in their proportionate applica-
ton to the South Shore, were destruc-
tive in the matter of profits, the Ca
madam Pacific always directed them to
put in a tariff to the commission which
would meet the difficulty.
Arthur E. Deli, auditor Of the Du-
luth, South Shore & Atlantic, told Of
payments of different claims, the rec
ords Of which had, however, been de-
stroyed. The memoranda did not on
their face disclose what they were for
though the instructions transmitted
with them gave this information The
papers were destroyed, he said, by
some of his clerks in obedience to his
instructions, but this was before the
receipt by him Of the subpoena to ap-
pear before the commission, so he de-
clared

Importance Of Fruit.

Professor Gradley says Each year
people appreciate more fully the value of
fruit. and eat it, not as luxury, but as a
food. Fruits are nourishing, refreshing,
appetizing and purifying, and consequently
have effect upon the health and the com
plexion. Grapes and apples are highly
nutritious. Grapes usually agree with the
most delicate persons, for they are easily
digested. Nothing is easier to digest than
baked apple, taken either with or with
out cream. Oranges, lemons and hnes
are of some value as a means Of improving
the complexion, and they are especially
good if taken before breakfast with mod
Grafton.
Ripe peaches are easy of digestion and
are fattening. Nothing is better to enrich
the blood than strawberries, which contain
larger percentage of iron than any other
fruit. Fruits with firm flesh, like apples,
cherries or plums. should be thoroughly
masticated, otherwise they are difficult to
digest. The skin of raw fruits should
never be eaten. and before eaten grapes or
any small fruit care should be taken to re-
move all impurities by washing. Never
swallow grape stones. State fruit and
unripe fruit should never be eaten, and
very acid fruit should not be taken with
farinaceOus food

Homicide in Frederick County.

FREDERICK, Nd, May 22.-Daniel j.
H. Simons, of Petersville, Frederick coun-
ty, was committed to Jail today by Justice
Joseph A Hiteshew, of Brunswick,
charged by coroner s jury with the muir
der of Harry Davis, colored, aged about
30 years Robert Fletcher, colored, aged
20 years, was also committed by the same
jury, charged with being an accessory.
The prisoners were brough hit to Frederick
at late hour this evening by Deputy
Sheriff j. Emory Nelson, of Brunswick, in
a buggy. They were handcuffed together
and turned over to Sheriff Patterson.
Simons, who is 40 years Of age, conducts
a saloon at Brookeville, two miles south of
Petersville, which is mostly frequented by
boisterous crowd of negroes, especially on
Saturday nights. Last night a number Of
them had assembled about the place, among
them being Davis, who halls from Virginia,
but has been working for some time on
the farm of Robert Butler.
Davis approached the bar and called for
drinks Before compl lying with his re-
quest the proprietor asked him to pay the
eighty cents he owed him, otherwise he
could obtain no drinks there 1t Is SAID
this angered the colored man, who denied
owing the bill, and insisted on drinks be-
ing served \ war of words followed,
when Simons, it is charged, threw three
beer bottles at the negro for cursing him.
Davis picked up the lamp which lighted
the saloon and threw it at the proprietor.
at the same time running for the door.
He was pursued by Simons who fired two
shots after him from very small pistol
without any effect.
Robert Fletcher. who had witnessed
what had TRANSFERRED, invited the saloon
keeper to 90 down to his house, 300 yards
distant. and he would give him something
that would fix the .'coOn : business IT he
returned to give him any further trouble
that night. He went to Fletcher and,
arming himself with 32-calibre Harring-
ton and Richardson revolver, proceeded
to retrace his steps to the saloon. After
going about half the distance, he says. he
saw man approaching him in the middle
of the road and the next thing he knew,
he saws. he was struck i'll the forehead
with stone Simons added ''Recog-

The Epicure's Paradise.
From San Francisco Argonaut.


1t is our belief that in the United States
the region around the Chesapeake bay
probably produces more good things to eat
than any other upon God s footstool. The
shellfsh of the Chesapeake bay, the Lynn
Haven and Cherrystone oysters, the salt
water fish which swarm in the waters of
the Chesapeake, the fresh water fish which
swim in the Susquehanna and other rivers
which run into that magnificent sheet of
water. the diamond back terrapin of the
Chesapeake marshes. the wild fowl that fly
over those marshes, the canvasbacks that
regale themselves upon the wild celery IN
the ponds along the Chesapeake shore, the
plump and yellow legged chickens raised by
the farmers wives on both sides OF that
bav. the luscious peaches and other fruits
found in Delaware and Maryland, the
toothsome sides and fitches Of Maryland

the products of that fat and juicy district
known as the eastern shore Of Mary

Care Of Calves.

Securing in calves gives trouble on all,
and sometimes. causes very serious loss on
some farms 1t is an infectious dysentery
in young animals, and frequently less than
ten per cent Of those attacked are saved
The more general trouble is known as
white scours or CASTRO enteritis. and most
farmers have private remedy for it. \
great thing is to prevent scour if possible
by the careful changing of food and atten-
ton to diet generally. On looking through
the COW houses on a large Danish dairy
farm recently | noticed that in the troughs
in the calf pens there were always two
Jumps for the animals to lick. One was
the customary piece of rock salt and the
other piece of chalk. To an inquiry
the learned professor who had the farm
under his direction replied that it was to
keep the calves from becoming sour in the
stomach He added that rock salt and
chalk were easily accessible, and the calves
were never or rarely troubled with the
complaint which is so prevalent on Ameri-
can farms. In all probability it may be
an old-fashioned precaution, known to
many people, as prepared chalk is a con-
stituent. of some remedies for diarrhea and
securing, but it is not generally followed
1t is easy of trial, and those who put it to
a test would do we'll to relate their expe-
rience, favorable or otherwise, as the case
may be, for the benefit of others.
