mIssoURrs APPLES THE BEST.
-Four First Prizes Captured at the
Paris ExpOsition-Andrain County
Contributed to the Shipment.

The consignment of Missouri ap-
Piles sent to the Paris exposition has
received four FIRST prizes in the com
petitive examination.
Il will be remembered that the best
OF the apples displayed. 1T the
Mexico Street Fair last fall,
were shippedto Kansas City to be
placed in the consignment for Paris.
The Kansas City Star says;
L. A. Goodman, OF Kansas City,
Secretary Of the Missouri State
horticultural Society, has received &
letter from F. W. Taylor, United
States ~promologist at the Paris Ex-
position, notifying him that in each Of
the four competitive examinations Of
apples held since the opening Of the
fair, Missouri has received first prize.
Other prizes were awarded to apples
exhibits from California, New York
and Illinois.
Last fall, members OF the society
gathered seventy thrse barrels Of APP
Piles OF the eight choicest varieties
that Missouri grows-Ben Davis, York,
Clayton, Missouri Pippin, Ingram,
White Winter, Winesap, Mammoth
Black Twig, Arkansas, Geneton and
Gano. The last named variety was
originated by @. W. Gano, who dis
covered It In the old Indian orchard
st Parkyille, Mo-, called "Jack
Orchard" The apples were care
fully culled last year, wrapped In
tissue and oil paper and placed in
cold storage until March, when they
we're semi to Paris and again placed in
cold storage. The exhibit has been
kept fresh by opening new barrels and
at The scoring held monthly, mIssourr
has in each instance received q FIRST
prize.
Mr.. Taylor, the pomologist, has re-
ceiyea inquiries from several French
and Italian fruit importers in regard
to Missouri apples, said Ar. Goodman.
European apples are of a yellow,
pasty color on account OF the damp
climate and they were strongly at
tracted by the bright red color and
excellent eating qualities Of the Mis-
souri, apple. Although this exhibit
at Paris has been received 90
favorably, ii lie by no means the best
Missouri a do. Last years. crop
was very poor, but we are preparing
TO send a shipment this fail that will
open tbs eyes Of the foreigners.

DRAM, BATAAH, p. l., April &c.
Ny dear little friend: 1 received your
letter in the last mall from the states
and was glad to bear from yoR. Now,
to answer your questions. The peo-
pie are Of short build Ne compared with
Americans, but are very well mus
! cled and, although they look very
strong, they r very weak physi-
cally and mentally. They are Of
many shades OF color, from the shade
of the GspaniaFd to the color Of the
American negro.
There is a tribe called Negretos and
they r very much the game az our
negroes, but they are shorter and are
cannibals. They have the same kind
Of curly hair. They fight with bows
and arrows, and it was one OF their
regiments which was annIhilated in a
eight with American artillery. They
are now friendly.
Another tribe, the Pampsngoes, are
intelligent and many Of them are
iflenus.
The Tagalos, In whose province we
now are stationed, are treacherous.
Aguinaldo is Of this tribe. The two
latter tribes fight with guns-Rem-
ingtons and Mausersi they also have
bolos. The bolo is similar to the
American corn knife. They r a
mean weapon for close combat. They
also have cannon made Of large gas

CROKER TO BE osrRAcrsED.
He Blows Hot and Cold Both on the
Boer War Question.


LONDON. May 15.--The Express Of
today advocates the ostracIsm Of Rich
ara Croker in England, in revenge for
Tammany's attitude on the Boer war.
1t says:
1T has not escaped notice in this
country that an American welcome TO
the Boer delegates has been inspired
and encouraged by Tammany Hall.
which is controlled by the notorious
boss. Dick Croker.
The records of Tammany are al
ready black enough without the addI
tion of this new infamy. But what
makes the action Of Tammany pecu-
liarly infamous now is the fact that
Croker claims the hospitality Of an
English domicile. poses as an English
country gentleman and runs racehorses
on the English turf. yet is aiding ana
encouraging the worst of England's en-
emies.
"croker's position is practically on
all fours with that Of the Duke Of Or
leans. The duke has already paid the
penalty of having fallen under the ban
of social ostracism.
IF Croker finds that the bracing air
of the United States does not invari-
ably suit his constitution, he should
secure the calm seclusion Of an Italian
villa within reach Of the Duke OF Or
leans whose company he win probably
find congenial"
