BAD WEEK FOR THE
SHIPPERS OF FRUIT
California Peaches do Not Suit the
Majority of Eastern Con- I

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The Tribune
says: The week has been severe one for
a great many shippers of fruit to this
market. AT this particular time in the
summer the number of consumers of fine
fruit is much reduced.
California peaches are fairly liberal, but
the production of the coast which has to
be of sturdy quality to come so far does
not suit the majority of consumers, who
have become accustomed to the Craw-
fords and Rareripes of Delaware and New
Jersey and the rich Elbertas of Georgia.

Trustees of the city of Monterey has
adopted a resolution asking the County
Supervisors to adopt an ordinance pro-
hibiting the shipping of abalone or aba
lone shells out of Monterey County for a
term of years. The resolution had it's
origin in the fear that the present ex-
cess of abalone fishing may cause the
determination of the abalone in these wa
tiers. A Japanese company, with head
quarters at Carmel Bay, has during the
past year shipped to Japan nearly forty

" IENE1AND, ONO, Aug. b.-Mr
and Mrs. John D. Davis. who are
making an experimental trip
u across the country from New
York to San Francisco in an auto
mobile, arrived in Cleveland to-ni~ht at
1880 o'clock, considerably the worse for
the long days run from Erie. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis arrived in the city
this evening they went to the Colonial
Hotel and intrusted the care of their
automobile to a liveryman who is
known for his ability to let things
alone 1t is through the meddlesome
characteristics of people along the way
that Mr.. and Mrs. Davis have had so
much trouble since they started on
their trip across the continent several
weeks ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis viii remain in
this city until Tuesday morning, long
enough to have extensive repairs made
on their automobile and to recover
from the fatigue and shock of their
journey thus far. They left Buffalo
Friday afternoon at ? o'clock and pro-
ceeded without accident as far as Erie,
where they arrived at 6 o'clock Satur
day evening.
The machine" said Mr.. Davis this
evening, "was all right when we put it
in a barn at night on arriving at Erie.
We expected to start bright and early
in the morning, and of course got up
thinking that we would find things in
as good order as we left them. Curl
osityis the death of automobilism, how

ever, and also an aggravation to auto
mobilists. When we got ready to start
we found that almost everything about
the machine had been tempered with
during the night and was out of order
Ii will be necessary for us to have ex-
tensive repairs made at Cleveland be-
fore we can go on"
Despite their numerous disasters Mr..
and Mrs. Davis are confident of reach
ing San Francisco early in September.
They will be given a good send-Off by
Cleveland autOmObiHsts on their de
parture Tuesday morning.

tonight that all the militia will be with

This was one of the quietest days since
the beginning of the strike. Violence has

of the merchants yesterday in declaring

noticeable increase in the number of

BRIEF SCIENCE NOTES.

The microphone is being utilized for
the education of deaf mutes, and such
persons can actually hear sounds pro-
ceeding from the microphonograph,
and soon learn to utter them. It ap-
pears to be an efficacious method, even
with persons who have passed middle
life.
Recent observations among Indians
show that in South America, as well as
in North America, the red woman lives
longer than the red man. But the av-
erage duration Of life is only II years
for both sexes in the south, and 90
per cent. of the Indians die during the
first year of life.
Recent investigations have shown
that the principal source of the gulf
stream is not the Florida channel, but
the region between and beside the is
lands of the West Indies. At Binion
the volume Of this warm water is 60
times as great as the combined vol
ume of all the rivers in the world at
their mouths.

SUICIDE OF A ROGUE CAMEL
Failing to XIII q Cruel Master. the
Vicious Beast Takes Its
Own Life.

A valuable camel working in an oil
mill in Africa, was beaten by it's driver.
Seeing that the camel had treasured up
the injury and was only waiting favor
able chance for revenge, the driver kept
strict watch upon the animal. Time
passed away; the camel knowing that
it was watched, was quiet and obedient,
and the driver began to think that the
beating was forgotten, when one night
after several months had gone by, the
man was sleeping on raised platform
in the mill, whilst, as is customary, the
camel was stabbed in a corner, saws an
exchange.
Happening to awake, the driver saw
by the bright moonlight that, when
all was quiet, the animal looked eau
tiously around rose softly, and, steal
ing toward a spot where a bundle of
clothes and burnouS, thrown careless
ly on the ground, resembled a sleeping
figure, cast itself with violence upon
them, rolling with all its weight, and
tearing them viciously with its teeth.
Satisfied that its revenge was complete,
the camel was returning to it's corner
when the driver sat up and spoke. At
the sound of his voice, and realizing
the mistake it had made, the animal was
so mortified at the failure and discovery
OF its scheme that it dashed its head
against the wall and died on the spot.
