The high wind of Wednesday blew off
large quantities Of apples in the orchards
generally. The amount of fruit for ex-
port will be considerably lessened. If the
gale was general over the apple producing
region of the country the increase in the
price may cOunterbalance the loss. Prob
ably on the average third of the fruit has
fallen. j. l.. Ormsby had picked dozen
OF more barrels of fall fruit from the par
sonage orchard before the gale which were
shipped to market Thursday. An apple
tree in w, b Cuttings yard was blown
across his driveway, also a large maple at
b. A. Walkers. 1t fell directly in front
of his piazza, but without doing any Sc
rious damage. In some places large and
sound forest trees were uprooted. Several
OF J' b. Clark's best sugar naples were
destroyed.

cavalry. This regiment was organized in
the early summer of 1851 and formed n
part of that famous fighting force of
horsemen known as the Second or Regu-
lar brigade which served in the Army OF
the Potomac from almost the first en-
gagement of the civil war down to the
surrender at Appomattox.
Cedar Run, Hanover Courthouse,
Gaines Mill, Malvern Hill. Antietam,
Fredericksburg, Gettysburg. Brandy Sta
ton. Winchester and Cedar Greek were
a few of the many battles in which the
Ohio farmer boy was under fire between
1861 and 1865. He was speedily made
first sergeant Of his troop and on March
ID, 1868. commissioned second lieuten-
ant. On Feb. %, 1865, he was promoted
to be first lieutenant and on Oct. II ad-
vanced to the rank of captain.
During the following dozen years Cap
tain Chaffee was in continuous and ardu-
Gus service with his regiment in the
southwest, where he learned the lessons
as an Indian fighter which have lately
served him so well in Cuba. For the
bravery which he displayed in an engage
ment with Comanches on Paint creek,
Texas. in March, 1868, he was brevetted
major. He again proved himself stub
born and desperate fighter by leading n
successful cavalry charge over rough and
precipitous bluffs held by Indians on the
Red river, Texas, in August, 1874. For
this and his gallant part in n fight with
Apaches at the Big Dry Wash. Arizona.
in July. 1882, he was brevetted lieuten-
ant colonel on Feb. 81. 1890.
Meanwhile on July Z. 1888, Captain
Chaffee had been promoted to the actual
rank OF major and assigned TO the Ninth
cavalry. The Ninth is one of the two
regiments OF regular cavalry composed
OF negroes. 1t has a record for fighting
qualities which few other regiments can
equal. a proof OF this is the fact that II
has never had anything but a fighting
assignment. 1t has never been stationed
even for a season at any Of the desirable
eastern posts.
Major Chaffee played a leading and
brilliant part in the history OF the fight
ing Ninth during the six years following
1883. From 1894 to 1896 however. he
was instructor OF cavalry tactics at the
Fort Leavenworth school for officers.
On June l, 1897. he was promoted to be
lieutenant colonel of the Third cavalry
and made commandant OF the cavalry
school of instruction at Fort Riley, which
post he held at the breaking out OF the
Spanish war.

FASHION LETTER.

lady Modish on Coming Modes.
Hats imported for spring are the last
dominant note in the warfare between
the seasons, ard. il | mistake not, will
prove more potent factor in establish
ing the supremacy Of spring than all the
billiards. old winter can collect.
Never has hesdgear been more charm.
ing, more varied or more original.
Fruits as we'll rs flowers are lavishly
used.
Grapes, in all colors and tints, are
most in vogue, though cherries are
nearly as popular.
Toques made entirely of colored leaves
with big clump Of roses on one side
that shade on the same colOring, are, per-
haps, the newest and smartest Of all the
flower hats. Mrs. Ogden Mills has
ordered one OF these tcques in pinkish
red leaves, with bunch Of deep pink
roses.
Amelia Bingham, in Hearts are
Trumps," wears one Of these toques
done in dark mauve leaves, with the
bunch OF roses in lighter shades of
mauve.
All the newest and smartest hats fit
close to the head, and have low, straight
lines.
The cache peigpe is thing of the
past.
Ostrich feathers are more WORE than
they have been for years. and the osprey
is seen not at all, except in odd orna-
men.s Of the hair.
The newest OF thee are powdered
with small, fine Rhinestones. and are
much more extravagdnt in size and price
than heretofore.
Their importance increases constantly
as the obnoxious "theater hat fades
more and more into oblivion.
Miss Caroline Duer is wearing very
smart arrangement in black and white
maline just now. With the influx Of
spring hats, one naturally looks for some
variation in the way of doing the hair.
But as yet it is safe to say there is no
radical departure from the present
mode, except that it is considered in
Paris very smart to drag the hair we'll
forward on one side, so that it shades
the face considerably.
Some of the Parisienne leaders are
wearing a bow of ribbon tied through
their hair on top, and falling on one
side, as one sees the ribbon bows on
children's hair.
The hair is not waved as much, or as
regularly, either. as We wear it.
The whole idea is to soften the nature
OF the hair as much as possible.
The indiscriminate use of jeweled
combs, which has been SO overdone with
US, is absolutely tabooed by the lately
modish Parisienne. Plain combs for
the side and front Of the hair are still
worn, and are really necessary to hold
the hair in its soft outline. but they
must be placed SO as to be as little en-
tridence as possible.
Across the back of the hair a jsweled
comb is permitted, though plain comb
is preferred, while the tuft of jsweled
osprey, bow of maline or lace, or dia-
mond ornament that lie worn on the side
or in front of the head is depended upon
to carry its effect alone and unaided.
Long, loose coats OF lace unlined are
another of springs delights.
