NO HAY FOR SALE.
The Maine Crop Said 10 Be Scarce and Fault
Found With Quality. ~

There is no hay to be bought. this
year, in Maine" said George w. Rey-
nolds. yesterday. He then went on to
say that the hay had either been
bought up or the farmers were hold
ing on to what they had for their own
use. 1t has been the custom to ship
more or less hay from this State to
Massachusetts. At the present time.
however, hay can be bought in Massa-
chusetts at lower price than 1t can
in Maine. A great many of the Mass
achusetts dealers are buying their hay
in Michigan. One reason is that the
Western hay is said to be of a better
quality than the hay in this State, and
another is that there is a great
Scarcity in Maine.

Record Breaking Cities.

Leavenw0rth, Kan, stands at the
head of American cities in the ship
ment of apples. Indeed. more apples
are shipped from LeavenwOrth than
from any other point on either side OF
the Atlantic ocean. In addition to the
large number of local packers engaged
in the business at this place. hundreds
of packers flock to Lcavenworth an
nually from other parts of the country
for the purpose of shipping away fruit.
There are two immense cold storage
plants in LeavenwOrth, one of which il
built to accommodate rs, 900 bushels OF
apples. .: -
This plant is owned by I, firm which
is said to pack more apples than any
other firm in the country. One of its
members is the president of the Ma
tional Apple Shippers Association
Leavenwefth county has the largest
apple orchard in the. world. that of r.
W. Wellrouse,s which contains .14oC
acres of healthy ttees; mostly all the
Jonathan, Winesapf Willow Twig and
Ben Davis varietieGs
The next largest 6echard consists Ui
500 acres. and on the farm of ex-Gov.
T.. N. Morrill, are 550sacres in apple
trees. There are any number Of or
chards ranging in extent from 10 to
1000 acres. The returns from township
assessors show that Lcavenwortli
county has 100000 apple-bearing. trees.
and it is estimated that double this
number of young trees are coming on.

Denver. Col. enjoys the. distinction
Of having more bicycles in, proportion
to population than any other city in
the United States. Though Denver
numbers only 16O000 souls within ,liaI
city limits, she boasts Of not less than
10000 bicycles. Morning and evening
alike. thousands of bicycles may be
seen on the streets of Denver. mounted
by men, women and childrcI.1p every
walk of life. Bicycles litesa liSS over
run things. and they are used IN every
line of business. and Areet cir. COM
panies say they have lost q 200, 006 nm;
nually in traffic since bicye n have. De-
come the rage. Tho open weather ana

sible for the popularity of the wheel,
rs it is conceded that ordinary. riders
can use their wheels daily for 80 weeks
out Of the SO. and mot suffer any an.
nOyance from mud or snow. Add to
this the fact that neither lights.
brakes nor bells are required. ana the
agility required of the. rider in taking

AGED COX CAR RETIRED.
A Old Chap. long a Landmark. to Be De.
stfoyed.

The call for all box cars to be equip
on the Maine Central to be opened that
have been closed for Is years or more.
Years ago, when a Mr.. Fardy held
sway in the Maine Central yard in this
city he was much bothered by having
parts of the track used. Though he
was peculiar man he was one of the
most popular man in the employ of the
road. He had some tools that he want
ed to be kept in a certain place and
often placed them in a car. No sooner
would the car be placed in one part of
the yard than something would come
come up that would require it to be
moved. He stood what to him was a
great annoyance, as long as he could
and finally shifted car off onto a
track that was not used great deal.
The car was an old affair and really
had been condemned. With a con-
demned car and a short spur that was
USED but little. he evolved the scheme
of having the car where he wanted it..
Accordingly when he had placed his
car off to one. side he set a crew of
men at work tearing up the track lead
ing to the main track.
There" he said, II have got that
car where want 1t. The car is mine
now; and you people can't shift it TO
another place because the rails are
torn up
The car remained there year after
year. and some of the men who had
remained in the employ of the road the
longest remembered what he had said
A short time ago all the old cars were
taken to the shops and what could not
be fixed up were torn to pieces. The
demand that all the cars should either
be torn to pieces or re-fitted with air
brakes included Fardy's car and the
section men. were set at work laying
rails so that the car might be hauled
to the main tracks and then into the
car shops. The old car was disman-
tied and the older men recalled his
saying that the car was then where it
could not be touched. as it was on its
way to the scrap heap. Both his pri-
vate car and his private track, like
himself, are now things of the past.

MURPHY BOLTS.
Announces Himself SquareIy
for Hon. Thos. N. Hart.
ut Is My intention to Vote for
an Honest Man."
Boston Republicans jubilaat and Democrats
Supplied by the Blow.

Boston, Dec. "a political bomb
shell was dropped in the Democratic
ranks. tonight, by the announcement
of the bolt of Hon. John Il. Murphy,
who was defeated in the mayorality
caucuses by Gen. Pa Collins, after
Il bitter contest. Mr.. Murphy has come
out frankly for the Republican candi-
date. Hon. Thomas N. Hart, and as he
led Collins in the total vote in the
Democratic caucuses, his detection is
II most serious one for the party In
his statement. Mir. Murphy says:
II do not intend to vote fer Mr. Col
Inns. 1 do intend to vote for Mr. Hart.
l believe it is high time for some Dem
ocrat to assert himself for honesty and
decency against the gang now in con-
troll in City hall and who will be i'm con.
troll il Mr.. Collins is elected It is my
intention to vote for an honest man
in preference to the candidate nomin-
ated in the Democratic convention. I
speak only for myself. have held M
conference with my friends and l as
summe to represent no vote except my
own. shall take no active part in the
campaign"
This announcement by Mr.. Murphy
has created great surprise among pol
iticians of both parties. The Republi-
cans were very jubilant over the un-
expected situation. but were not dis
posed to talk upon the subject. The
Democrats appeared so much surprised
that they declined. as a rule. to discuss
the possible effect of Mr.. Murphy's po-
sition. until they had time to talk it
over.
The bitterness of Mr.. Murphy's feel
ings is plainly shown in another state
ment which he issued over his own sig
nature, tonight. 1t arraigned in the
severest language the managers Of the
Collins campaign: the so-called Board
of Strategy" accused them of using
repeaters in the caucuses and of 60
ing to ends never before reached in
the game of politics in this city. The
statement says:
Acting under their orders. inspec-
tors and laboring men We're. discharg-
ed because they supported me.
Hundreds of men who were carried
on the city pay rolls on full time and
for weeks previous to the caucuses
We're electioneering in the interest of
NIr. Collins instead of working for the
city.

would lose their work if they We're

COMMENTS ON MESSAGE.
England Satisfied With Our New Pos
ton in Far Eastern Affairs.

London. Dec. all the morning pa
pers have editorials upon President
McKinley's message to Congress. The
Daily Telegraph says:
What differentiates the present
from the preceding message is its all
but formal admission that the United
States have been drawn into the outer
..ddies of Eastern politics. 1t is the
Far East which is the real reason for
this partial abandonment of Monroe
ism. SO far as Great Britain is con-
cerned there is no apprehension. but
rather unqualified satisfaction at the
new departure. Great Britain. the
United States and Germany are the
powers most concerned in maintaining
the open door. and that is all which
is implied in the use of the word ALI
ance' about which so much unneces-
sary fuss has been made"
