THE RED BANANAS DOWNFALL
Due to the Commercial Superiority 0, the
Yellow One.

| heu bananas are so scarce nova
days as to be practically a rarity: the
prevailing banana is yellow" saws a
grocer who handles the fruit when if is
in season. Twenty years and more
ago the red was the prevailing banana
and the yellow the rare one. The
change from red to yellow is due to
commercial reasons; the yellow banana
IS more profitable.
The yellow banana requires less
care and time in the cultivation, and SO
costs less in that stage. 1t sticks to
| the stem better than the red banana
and so stands handling better. There
are one-thlrd more yellow bananas to
the bunch than red. With all these
marked advantages in its favor the
yellow banana has practically driven
the red banana out.
with this great scarcity red ba5
nanas now bring fancy prices: it may
be ten times as much as yellow ba-
nanas. With yellow bananas at 81 or
$50 a bunch red would be worth from
So To $l1, and there would be fewer in 4
bunch. Red bananas sell nowadays in
the fruit stores as high as % cents
each. The comparatively few punches
imported are taken by dealers in fine
and fancy fruits as novelties the
rarity, in large measure, determining
the price. 1t might be asked why. with.
red bananas at such prices, more are
not cultivated; to which the answer is
that if more We're raised the price
would go down again. ana there would
be no profit in raising them for the
general demand in competition with

I'VE BOTH SUCK EGGS"
Col. Phelps Explanation OF this Fa-
nous Expression.


ST. Louis Star: Nothing has at
tracted as much attention in Missouri
politics recently as the speech of Col.
William Fl. Phelps, made at the Garth
age (Mo. convention recently. 1t
was reply to ex-Gov. William j.
Stone, who was quoted as saying
Phelps was "a lobbyist.
Speaking of Gov. Stone and him
self and lobbying. Col. Phelps said:
"We both such eggs, but he hides the
shells"
There was so much inquiry as to the
origin of the phrase. which attracted
wide attention, that the Star wrote to
Col. Phelps, asking him whence it
came. He replied to-day in the letter
given below.
ST. Louis, Mo-. June 9. 1900.
To the Editor of the Star.
Replying to your favor of the 18th
inst. addressed to me at Carthage,
which reached me here this morning.
inquiring the origion of the express
ion, We both suck eggs, but he hides
the shells.
This expression is not original with
me. When boy lived on farm in
Western New York and my father,
like most poor farmers, had more
dogs than COWS and our only source
of revenue was II lot of hens, which
were the pride of my mother and the
support of the family. One year my
mother missed so many eggs that she
concluded they were eaten by the dogs
because the shells were so thickly
scattered about the place. My older
brother and myself were set to watch
ing the dogs. We soon discovered
that one of the dogs was sucking from
| A dozen to tiften eggs day. and we
whipped him several times and finally
tied him up, but still the eggs were
missing. My brother and nyseii
we're again put to watching the dogs.
We had dog named ''Smothy." -

deceived a great Esssny people in the

smarter than he really was. My
brother and saw this dog go behind
a stack one day and we followed him,
aHd where he had been di. ing us

barrel of shells which he had hidden
there. Our father then decided TO kill
both dogs and on. of our neighbors
asked him if smoothly sucked eggs,

Is the origin of the expression so far

Largest in the World.

The Pittsburg Locomotive Works
on Saturday turned out from its
Allegheny works for the Pitts burg.
Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad the
largest and heaviest locomotive ever
constructed. 1t is the first of two to
be built for the company. The monster
engine weighs 240.0 900 pounds, without

240 pounds OF steam pressure and
55-inch driving wheels. The engine
stands ID feet and inches above the

is expected to weigh about l36. 900
pounds. Among the departures of
this remarkab BILE production of Pitts

A STRIKE SERMON.
That May be Read With Much Profit
by the Union Men.

Louisville Courier-Journal: 7 b e
strike, almost from the first, degener-
ated into violence, riot and murder.
These scenes daily enacted in ST.
Louis are disgrace in our civiliza-
ton and to our system of self-govern-
ment; property wantonly destroyed:
men, women and children shot down
in the street almost daily: women pur-
su, kicked, robbed and stripped OF
their clothing simply because they
ride on a street car.
Surely these conditions can not last
much longer. Order must be restored
and the city must be protected. The
outraged sentiment OF the citizens will
insI ire this regardless of any question
at issue between the strikers and the
Transit company, or of tie cheap
John politics mixed up in the situa-
ton. Neither organized labor or Or
ganized capital can be permitted to
set aside the law of the land and over.
run community with anarchy.
This particular strike has weakened
rather than strengthened the cause of
working meu's combinations. Labor
unions, iutelligently conducted, are
uuquestionably good things, but when
they overstep the limits Of reason and
common sense, as in this strike: when
they make demand. not because it is
right, but because they believe they
have the power to enforce it, and
when they seek to enforce it by such
desperate methods as they have pur-
sued at ST. Louis, they deal them
selves heavier blows than they intiict
upon capital. a city which would sub
| nit to such iawlessness could not
long furnish q tield for either labor
or capital.
| The pity OF such a strike as this,
aside from the innocent lives taken, is
the hardship it works upon the mem
bers themselves, many of wnom dc
not wish to strike, but must do as
they are directed or invite all the ter.
rors which disobedience entails. The
organization which wields such a
power must WELD it wisely or it be
comes the most cruel instrument o.
depressing those whose interests it is
meant to advise. But deserving o.
sympathy Individually as these mer
may be, they can not be permitted t.
terrorize Il whole community because
their leaders have thrown them out o.
work.

Much Truth in This,

Exchange: \ preacher once said:
Editors dare not tell the truth. If
Iou did you would not live. Your
newspaper would be a big failure. -
The editor replied: You are right.
And the minister who will at all times
tell the truth about mis- members, alive
or dead, will not occupy the pulpit
more than one Sunday and he will
find il necessary to leave town in a
hurry. The press and pulpit go hand
in hand with the whitewash brushes
and kind words, magnifying little vir-
tues into big ones. The press. the
pulpit and the grave stones are great
saint makers. The minister went
away looking very thoughtful.

Dunklip Democrat: Something has
occurred lately to cause conscience to
sting at least two people. One man
wants 70 pay the railroads $50 for
ride ne beat them out of between the
Pacific coast and Virginia. Then Rev.
Shepherd. preacher of Deansboro,
n. Y. has sent $40 to a bank at Ilion
to be- used in repaying the town mer-
chants for the fruit he stole from them
when a boy. Next thing will come
along some honest man who will be
wanting to pay lot of old back sub
