STEPNEY.

IN HURRY TO SELL THEIR APPLES.
 Manson & Nichols of Bridgeport have filled four cars with apples at the Step- ney Depot, without the use of barrels, and the way the farmers took advantage of this opportunity to sell their sbun- dant crop was 8 sight of itself. Heavily loaded wagons of Il descriptions stood for hours in line, waiting their turn to unload. Often over 40 teams couli l be counted in this long "apple procession, i" lining the highway for long distance. Other cars are expected, this week, and many more can be f1lled here with hand some and desirable fl uit. The price av- eraged about soc per barrel, as they were sold by weight, 150 pounds for sI,, but if the apples can be kept in good condi tion until winter, more t"sn double this price will be easily obtained.

LADY SHOLTO'S RETURN
The CHANCES Wrought in a Caiifor-
mia Vaude vile Artist.

The notriety given to Lord and Lady
Sholoto Douglas on the occasion of
their marriage in California something
over three years ago, will be readily
recalled by readers of The Republican.
It will also be remembered by many
Phoenicians that the couple resided in
this city for some time quietly and I'M
ostentatiOusly. Lord Douglas for a
short time seriously considering the
casting of his lot among Arizona
ranchers- The following from a recent
issue of the Los Angeles Herald Will
therefore be read with interest:
Lady Sholto Douglas and her little
son. Bruce Francis. are in New York.
and it will not be many days before
they reach California.
Lord and Lady Douglas left this
state three years ago and went to Vie
tOria at the request of the Marquis of
bloomsbury, so that the child might
be born in a British province. under
the flag of the queen. They We're
pleased at Victoria, and when they
expressed n desire to remain there the
marquis placed his son in charge of
the large land and mining interests he
has in that country. The young man
managed them successfully for 4 year
and a half and then went to England
because his parents wanted TO see the
baby and to make the acquaintance of
his wife.
Lady Sholto Douglass is a very diff
ferent person from Loretta Adds, as
she was formerly known-the little
girl who was clever at a turn on the
vaudeville stage. After she turned her
back on the footlights, she devoted
herself to study. and today she is a
polished, accomplished woman. Lord
Sholto's parents were prepared to meet
a crude little woman, but they had
made up their minds to lose sight Of
that in her devotion to their son. But
Lady Sholto Douglas surprised them
and that was not all. She so charmed
them that they were both determined
to have her locate at their respective
establishments. But Lord Sholto IS
his mothers favorite child and natu-
rally he chose her home as his own,
and there it was at her home, IS Cado-
gan place, London. that the California
girl lived during the year she spent IN
England. Fer the past six mon ms
Lady Sholto Douglas has been in Paris
studying art and languages.
Mrs Mooney, the mother of Lady
Sholto Douglas, expects her daughter
to arrive inside of two weeks. She has
never seen her grandson, who is now
two and one-half years of age. Lord
Sholto expects to visit this coast on
business in a few months. Until he
comes Lady ShOlto Douglas and her
child will live with Mrs. Mooney at her
residence in Oakland"
