For the safe bringing forth, in her season.

In Garner and meadow and fold,

Crowns us tO-day-as with gold;

Between labors completed-uncaimed-
For the knowledge that plenty is power!
For the hope that fruition is gained!

The Middle of November, Says
e. ID. Kenna,
Before the Santa Fe Can Enter
San Francisco,
OVER ITS OWN TRACK
A Monster Hill Requires Time
to Cut Down.
The Road Building a Fine
Steamer For Bay Service.

Mr.. E. D. Kenna, first vice president
and general solicitor of the Santa Fe,
who was in Topeka Thursday afternoon,
stated that the Santa Fe would not be
able to enter San Francisco over it's
own tracks before the middle of Novem-
Der. This is much later date than at
first expected, and later than any esti-
mates made heretofore.
I'VE will be running trains into Stock
ton by July l." said Mr.. Kenna, but it
will be as late as the middle of NoVem-
Der before we will be able to run trains
over our line into San Francisco There
is a monster hill between Stockton and
San Francisco that will have to be tun-
neled, and this will take considerable
time. Just what changes Will be made
in our schedules has not yet been de-
cided, but it is probable that the re-
arrangement of train service will not be
made until through connections are
established from Chicago to the coast"
Mr.. Kenna stated that a comm Odious
and modernly equipped steam boat, for
the bay into San Francisco, was now in
the course of building for the company.
When the Santa Fe formally takes
possession of the new line to the coast,
it is probable that many changes will
be made in it's management. These
changes may result in changes in the
personnel of the other Santa Fe system
lines.

TO MARRY AT NEWPORT.
Wedding of Miss Grant to Her Prince
to Take Place There.

Newport r. /, May 26.-Miss Julia
Dent Grant, who is to be welded here
early in the fall to Prince CantacuZene,
is expected to come to Newport a few
days after her arrival in New York next
Wednesday.
The prince will be here about the mid
die of August, and the wedding will
take place a few weeks later, and will
undoubtedly be the society feature of
the Newport season.
Elaborate preparations are being
made at Beaulieu, the William Waldorf
Aston villa, leased by Mr.. and Mrs.
Potter Palmer for the coming of Mrs
Palmer with whom Miss Grant and
her mother will stop. The wedding will
be a royal one in its appointments.
His mother, who, it is understood will
come here with the prince to attend the
wedding, visited Miss Grant and Mrs.
Palmer at Cannes soon after the first
rumor of the engagement and seemed
attached to the young American girl.
After the wedding the prince and prin-
cess will return to Russia. Part of the
year their home will be in ST. Peters
burg and the remainder of the time on
the estate of the prince in Southern Rus

WATERMELONS IN MARKET.
Arrive in New York and are Quoted
at So Each.

New York, May 26.-Watermelons
have actually appeared in large guam
titles in Fulton market, and there was
a reduction in their price, which was
$3.50 a week ago. Today the melons
are quoted at 81 each, and the rumor of
their arrival created considerable eX-
element in Thompson street. The news
ran from barber shop to barber shop.
Kalsominers dropped their whitewash
brushes to discuss the delightful re-
port with carpet shakers. Pickanin-
MES climbed lamp posts and hurrahed.
A broad smile spread over Thompson
street. This thOrOughfare is pOpulat-
ed by the cOlored race exclusively.
Some enthusiastic cOlOred anna tours
in watermelOnS went to Fulton market
to look at them, one might look at
paintings or old china. The melons
were as green on the outside as en-
erald, and red as a ruby on the in
side. As long as watermelons continue
to be 50 each they will be too expensive
for the colOred masses; but colOred peo-
pie of wealth and luxury will forego
champagne that they may enjoy them
CantelOupes are plenty now, and those
the size of WalnutS are selling at 20,
cents each.

SALOON DOORS TO CLOSE.
Baltimore Brewers Decision to Reor-
ganize the Trade Will Shut
Down 500.

Baltimore, May 26.-Five hundred sa-
looms of Baltimore, it is estimated, will
quit the business. Some of them have
already closed their doors, and others
will follow. The cause of the great
shutdown is the determine ton of the
Maryland Brewing company, which
controls nearly nine-tenths of the out
put of the city, to abandon the prac-
tice of paying for saloon licenses in Or
der to force their product on the mar
ket.
Last year. on May II, applications
for license filed with the board of nq-
uor license commissioners numbered g.
451. On the same date this year only
2,291 applications had been filed, a fall
ing off of 100 The decrease in the ap-
plications indicates what the extent of
the general shutdown in the saloon
business will be, as it is believed that
at least one-fifth of those who have al
ready applied will not buy them.
