WATERED WITH BLOOD
Romantic Story Regarding an Apple
Tree in New York State

On the old homestead farm of Peter Tur-
ner on oMnroe, NJ Y, there is an apple
tree, knotted and gnarled with age, but
OF variety seen nowhere else in Orange
county, nor perhaps in the country, The
apple is about the size of winter pippin
and has like flavor. 1t is golden in color
and speckled with crimson spots, which
penetrate the blood-red fruit to the core.
This apple is called the Indian Princess.
tradition gives it the following romantic
origin: When the Indians were in posses
sion of Ramapo valley one of their villages
was located where the Turner farm is sit
uated. The daughter of the chief was loved
by warrior, and, as the old chief did not
favor the suit, the maiden met her lover in
secret. When her father discovered this
the lovers fled to escape his wrath, but were
overtaken by the chief, who bade his
daughter return to the wigwam. This she
refused to do and stepped to her lovers
side, at which the chief was so incensed
that he drew his bow and sent an arrow 20
her heart She expired on the spot where a
wild apple tree was sprouting, and her life S
blood saturated the roots of the Young
tree.
Such is the story that has been handed
down from generation to generation, The
old tree in Peter Turner's orchard is a lin
cal descendant of the original Indian Prin-
cess, and the last of it's race.-New York

NEW YORK URBAN POPULATION
Increasing Rapidly at the Expense Of
Some of the Country Districts

In probably NO. state in the country is
the disparity between the urban or city
population and the rural population in
croasing at so rapid a ratio as in New
York. BY the Federal crnsus of 1870 the
population of the state was 4,700, 900, and
the cities had the following population
New York, 942 900; Brooklyn, 5000; Buff
falo, 117,O00; Albany, So 1000; Rochester
81, 900; Syracuse, $4,000; Utica, 2S,000; Os-
wego, 21000; Poughkeepsie 10000; New
burg, 1900; Elmira, 10000; Lockport
$4,000; Binghamton, 13,0O0 Schenectady
II 900; Rome, II 900, and Ogdensburg, 10,
900. There were sixteen incorporated
cities. and their population collectively
was 100000 or about 43 per cent. of the
states total population, the remaining
81 per cent. being represented by the rural
or village population.
In the federal census of 1880 the total
population of New York was 5,0s2, 900, a
gain Of 700, 900, of which soc, 900 was in in
corporated cities and 100000 only in the re-
mainder of the state. Fifty per cent. OF
the population was in incorporated cities
By the state census of 1S92-the last taken
the total population of New York was
$780, 900, and included in the incorporate
cities was population in excess of 40OO,-
900. The rural population was, in fact, nc
larger than twelve years before, and the
cities had 62.3 per cent. of the total popu
lation. Since then this proportion has in
creased to 65 per cent, and, al the present
ratio of increase in the incorporated
cities and the falling off in the country
districts, it is estimated that by the time
of the next National census, in 1900, 10 pei
cent. Of the popula ation of New York will
be found to be In cities and 80 per cent
only in the country districts.
The counties which are falling off ir
population are mostly such central coun.
ties as Madison, Seneca, Wayne, Wyom-
ing, Yates, Ontario, Otsego, Orleans ant
Delaware, and the decline in populatio
Is generally ascribed to the inability ot
the local farmers to withstand the com.
petition of the great agricultural west
Other counties which have suffered
serious falling off in population are nearer
New York-Orange, Sullivan, Rockland
Greene and Putnam-the decline beins
greatest in those known as dairy coun
ties. Another class of counties which
have diminished greatly in population il
the last few years is composed of thos,
on the southern tier. Between 1890 ane
lS92, Allegany, Steuben and Tioga coun
ties fell off, and the reason given for thi
decline Is that the northwestern sectio,
OF pennsylvania, which adjoins the south
western section of New York, has beel
more rapidly developed by railroads ant
otherwise than in this state.-NeW Yorl

Red Cross in a Great War

Accordingt to the Figaro of Paris, -the
French Red Cross has recently opened a
subscription for the benefit of the future
wounded of the Spanish-Amercan war and
has headed 1t with subscription of so 900
francs. "To speak frankly" says the
writer of the article. 1--WE owe this action to
foreign nations, for they all showed an ad-
mirable generosity toward our wounded
during the war of tS7O-71. The United
States sent us at that time 100000 francs
Canada, 300 900; Spain. 20 900; Italy. 10000;
little Denmark, 100000; the Argentine Re
public, 100000; Chill, 100000; Peru, 10000;
Russia, 900; in all about 5000 900. Our Re d
Cross, having spent more than 125O0,OO0
francs for our wounded during the fatal
year, had still remaining in its treasury
more than 1000, 900 francs. At present the
society has on hand 8 ,GO0. 900 francs. 1t sent
to Spain 10000 francs for the wounded in
the Carlist war, 2s7 900 in the Turco- Rus
sian war, 10000 for the wounded in Tunis.

Thousands have tried from time imme.

Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some efficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists, of 7S Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, ETC., never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
a most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to tho surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, u kind of
new life that Immediately cxhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
freckles, pimples, blackhcads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oilincss, eruptions, and discolorations of
any kind.

Head Toward the Engine

Those who wish to avoid catching cold
when sleeping in sleeping car should have
their berths made up so that their heads
will be toward the engine. This is because
the drafts in a moving train are always
from front to rear, and when your head is
toward the engine your are better pro-
tected, while getting just as much fresh air
as though you were in the other position.
In hot summer weather those who sleep
with "head on" can with perfect safety
have a screen put under the sash at the
foot of the berth, and thereby enjoy a con .
stant supply Of cool, unbreathed air.-In-

A MISSING BABY FOUND
DEAD AS THE RESULT OF A
MOST HIDEOUS CRIME
Little Ethel Gill, formerly of Oakland,
Outraged and Murdered by "a
Montana Brute

BUTTE, Mont, June 11.-Ethel Gill, aged
9years, disappeared from her home on South
Ohio street on Thursday evening. This
morning her dead body was found in an
clubhouse several blocks from the residence
Of her parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gill, parents of the
child, arrived here about two months ago
from Oakland Cal. They rented cabin
in the rear of 1928 South Ohio street. On
Thursday evening the child was playing
with some little ones near the Northern
Pacific depot not far from the child's
home. Since then nothing was seen of her
until this morning, when female neighbor
went into the clubhouse and saw what SEEM
ed to her to be body. She notified some
men in an adjoining lumber yard who went
In and secured the body. 1t was that of the
missing child. The clothing was torn, and
disarranged, and there were other evil
dences that an outrage had been perpetra-
ted. Discolorations on the neck indicated
strangulation, and there was a mark on
the left temple as if made by some blunt
instrument.
The police think they have the man who
committed the crime. He was arrested
about an hour after the girls absence was
noted. The police wanted him on suspicion
of burglary.
They found him in the lumber yard, not
fifty feet from the outraged girl. There
were blood stains on his clothes, and when
questioned about them he could give no
satisfactory answer. When today's dis
covery was made the police thought of
these circumstances. Since then witnesses
have been found who will swear they saw
the man and the child together on the even
ing of her disappearance and shortly before
his arrest. The man gave his name as
Charles Smith but is also known to the po-
lice as Higgins
The man under arrest was in the county
Jail at the time. He had been watching
cache of goods stolen from hardware store
on Wednesday night. When the girls
body was found today, and he was suspected
of that crime too, the police started to put
him through the sweating process. They
made him account for his actions and move
ments on the evening Of the girls disappear
ance and his own arrest. He did not do
this in very satisfactory way Then he
was taken to the undertaker's place, where
the body was being prepared for burial,
and made to look upon the body. He stood
the test manfuly. He is man about rs
years of age.
The theory Of the police is that the girl
had gone into the clubhouse and the man
followed her and accomplished his purpose.
1t is said she was seen talking to man
answering the description of the prisoner
short time beforel 9 o'clock on Thursday
night. The girl was of slender build and
very beautiful She was an only child.
She was horribly mutilated
The inquest will take place Tuesday.
