CLUB STANDING
Mr.. R0WE'S TROUBLES.


New York, Nov lJ.--S0me peonla In
the position Of Charles T. Rowe might
esteem themselves rarely favored bv
fortune. but Mr.. Rowe believes bimsalf
most unfortunate OF men, He looks lika
Dewey-so much like Dewey than neonIa
follow him on the streets and cheer az
him and make him take of his hat
Hence his sorrow.
Mr.. Rowe's home is in Boston. He il
an sdmirer OF good horse and a thor
oughbre1 sportsman. He likes Boston
but the people follow him all over town
and last week he came on to New Yorl,
TO get rid of annoyance.
He brought his wife with him. and
she does not look unlike the bride of
the admiral. When Mr. Rowe got here
he found that his double had iust come
in On his wedding tour and that his
troubles We're only beginning.
on Sunday he went % the Grand Cen.
trail station with his wife 20 board a
train for Yonkers. Everybody Thought
he was Dewey and insisted on IN in
spite of his denials. and he was al
lowed by the stfutur1 utficiatg N D0aF7T-
the train II minutes before tn. common
run Of passengers could get through the
gates.
Mr.. Rowe appeared at the horse show
on Monday. He had scarcely entered
the building before the word went
round that Dewey was present. and he
had 10 take refuge In the press room.
Every time he showed himself the band
would play %S'he Conquering Hero"
and the crowd would cheer.
he went 10 his hotel through back
streets. He was compelled 10 remain
in remote corner OF the remotest bal
cony in the garden all day yesterday.a al
though ii is his greatest JOY in life 10
be down amcng the horses.
The resemblance Of Mr. Rowe 10 Ad-
miral Dewey is rendered more striking
because of the 0ronzed complexion of
the Boston man. caused by his outdoor
life.

w. T. Taylor, the Assistant Chief of the
Division Of PomoIogy in the Department of
Agriculture, told the other day of the thor
ough system which is to be employed in
making American fruits known to the visi-
tors at the Exposition in Paris next year
There will be continuous exhibit OF
American fresh fruits, and particularly
those for which it is desired to create de-
mand or expand the European market,
Never before has this been attempted. The
only approach to such a scheme was at the
Chicago Fair, where Australia made two
shipments of her fresh fruits. Mr. Taylor
said:
AT Paris there viii be go barrels OF
choice American apples in cold storage,
small lots being taken from the supply
from time to time as needed to keep up a
continuous fresh fruit exhibit. Oranges
will be treated in the same manner APP
pies we are making the leader, as being the
most widely grown and most valuable fruit
for export trade More perishable fresh
fruit viii be shipped regularly, aHordlng,
also a continuous exhibit. California, for
instance. has arranged to send over every
week supply of fresh perishable fruit
such as grapes. plums, apricots, figs,
peaches. etc We wish to show not only
that America can produce the finest fruit
in the world. but that foreigners will not
assume much risk from plant disease or
insects in importing our fruits for general
use"
The preparations for the great exhibit
are being carried on systematically Win
apples. for instance, a sample OF bushel
Of choice apples is given by certain grow
er. instructions are sent to him from the
department as to picking, care Of specl-
mems. wrapping, etc; wrapping paper Is

pie is TO be doubly wrapped Ihe farls
Commission will pay for the transportation
charges to the local cold storage plant,
where the storage is in every case offered
free by the cold storage companies; at
the proper time the apples will be shipped
| in cold storage to Paris. and there kept un-
til needed for the tables, where the fruit
| is TO be exhibited under the growers names

dried fruits. nuts. etc, which Will be large.

Some merchandise is as sensitive to

But in inverse order. When it is cold

We followed our custom. Placed our

November's purchases overlook the last
of October's, and the stock IS some
hundreds of garments too g.
No blame. We cannot foresee wealth

So we are going to have a special
