NEW JERSEYS QUEER ORCHARD.
Single Trees Made to Bear Many Va
rfeties of Fruit.


From the New York Sun.
Perhaps the oldest looking farm In New
Jersey is situated at the southern end OF
East Orange. Scores OF New Workers pass
on bicycles every week within two blocks
of it. little dreaming how close they are to
fairyland. For more than twenty years
Luke Garrison has been cultivating an or
chard of grated trees, remarkable for
unique and grotesque effects. The road IN
front of the house is lined with trees queer
ly branched, and as the visitor enters the
yard he passes under wonderfully grated
arch of magnificent elms. The front yard
is filled with curiosities in the shape of
trees.
1t is the large orchard that mostly calls
for attention. Great care and patience COM
b1ned with ingenuity, have enabled Mr. Gar
r1son to serve on a single stem a collection
of orchard products that has made many a
connoisseur envious. 1t is almost impossible
to find tree that does not bear more than
one variety of fruit. On one side is a row
of trees, each of which bears several diff
ferent kinds of apples, while on the other
you can see a dozen labels on a small pear
tree One tree has several varieties of crab
apples. and there are many small trees
which bear oranges and lemons, both fruits
growing from one stalk. with the branches
A specimen of Mr.. Garrison's art is tree
bearing the following apples: Golden pip
pins, DAIRY closure, sour harvest white
Genessee, Van Duyne red astrakhan coun-
ty pippins, victuals and drink rustics early
and late greetings, peach apples. crabap-
pies, lady apples. black apples and many
others. each brand labeled for the visitors
information. This tree Is about twenty
years old There is pear tree which bears
Bartletts, Greeleys, Seckels, Lawrence and
buery deals. A peculiar pear found in the
orchard is the Idaho. 1t is large and fiat,
without any core seed, and eNcels the
Bartlett in flavor. Probably the most won
derful tree in the orchard is one which
bears no fewer than sixteen varieties OF
fruit including plums, apples, pears. peach
es, mulberries, ounces. etc. The ounce is
the most difficult to graft Such freaks as
American. Italian and japanese chestnuts
growing tree are regarded by Mr..
Garrison as easy to accomplish. He also
has different kinds of peaches growing on
a small shoot.
Some years ago Mr.. Garrison was the re-
cipient of package from somewhere up
New York state containing a twig which
would, II was declared, produce an apple
half of which would be sour and half
sweet Mr.. Garrison planted 1t and ii
grew. But the apples were sour all through.
Mr.. Garrison tried in every way to produce
the real article. but was finally compelled
to admit that ne had been made the victim

cAsNIBALIsM CONFIRMED.
Shocking Details Told i'm a Miner,
Letter to His Mother.

,
Letter to f1is Mother.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Portland. Ore. says:
The recent story of cannibalism which
cane from the Atlin district of Alaska Is
confirmed and horrible details are added
by a letter received at this place by Capt
Hans Svenson from Majonino, in the Kot-
zebue sound country.
The writer was Olaf Jorgensen, who, with
two other Swedish sailors, Peter Martin
and August Olsen, and twenty others, went
to the Kotzebue country in September from
Seattle. All were well supplied with funds
and had years outfit but it is scarcely
probable that more than one Of these men
is now alive.
The letter to Svenson incloses one to Jor-
gensen's mother in Stockholm, which Mar
tin in some way succeeded in mailing at ST.
Michael, where he is now at the point Of
death, unable to give an account of what
he and his fellows suffered.
Jorgensen's letter to his mother must
have been written several days before he
penned his note to Svenson, as 1t is more
lucid. 1t was written in Swedish, and was
translated here today. 1t Is rather long
letter, saying at the outset:
when you receive this, my dear mother
I shall no longer be on earth All but three
out of our party are dead in country that
go into the details of the suHerings myself
and mates have undergone"
After explaining how he and part of the
party separated from the rest and began
prospecting on their own hook with dogs
and siedges, he told how they got lost in
December. The greater part of their pro-
visions were stolen by wild beasts and by
january they had nothing left but a few
sides of bacon.
Hunger soon stalked among u.s." con-
tinued Jorgs1sen. and you have not even
a faint idea what that means among gang
of hopeless men, desperate In the extreme
A dozen of my party died in thirty days
and we then began to draw lots for healthy
human flesh. There are only four of us
alive, but all too weak to travel exceYi..ng
Martin who will try to mail this letter and
obtain relief. But suppose this letter will
be too late"
AS melancholy incident. the writer says
that only few days before he discovered a
lot of nuggets peepfng out of the frozen
ground in his tent but he turned from the
gold In disgust.
