balls about an inch in diameter are

Here is an ingenious device by which

Three separate Innings are made, each

down over her head. She managed to
escape. but died shortly afterward Of
her injuries. Iloilo now presents a sad
spectacle of desolation. All that is left
of the once beautiful city is a few

GREAT STRAWBERRY CROP.
Chattanooga has Shipped GAS Cars
During this Season.

CHATTANOOGA, May 81
Especial The strawberry season
practically closed here tonight, the
shipment tonight being about 1000
crates. Since the 4th Of May, when
the season began, there have been
shipped from this point 10000
crates, amounting to about 245 cars
OF berries, the largest quantity ever
shipped for one season. Owing to
the backward spring, prices have rul-
ed very low, the average price being
only about $l.l5 per crate. Last
year $4,000 crates were shipped, but
the price was on an average 81 per
crate. The market has become so
prohtless that growers have quit
picking, and it is estimated that one
lhlrd of the crop will rot on the
plants in the field. The acreage this
year was nearly double that OF last
year, and the crop was enormous and
and of very fin quality. The grow.
ers have consequently made little
money this year:
