PEACHES SELL VERY CHEAP.
Full Trees, Dry Weather and Hot Suns
Made Crop Improbable.

Made Crop Improbable.
Peaches of good quality and size have
been retailing in our streets at 90 to 40
cents per basket this week. This in
dicates glutted and overstocked mar
ket in the cities. The full trees, drv
weather, the most of the time when
growing, and hot sun have reduced
some varities to half their natural size.
Under such circumstances they could
hardly be expected to have their nat
ural flavor.
j. W. Jones has shipped car load
OF Elberta peaches each day this week,
three in number, in refrigerator cars,
to Utica, N. Y. They were purchased
from the Misses Cummins, grown on
their farm at the "Big OAK" from
young trees, and very fine. This is
the first instance it is said, with one
exception, that peaches have been
shipped from our station, this fruit not
shipped by boat usually going to Clay
ton.
Those who thought peach growing
was of the ''lost arts" among the farm
ers of this vicinity seem to have been
greatly mistaken. A shipper, who has
looked into the matter tells us that
peaches, to an equivalent of from six
to eight, car loads have gone up to
Philadelphia by our two boat lines
each day for the past two weeks.

THE OPEN DOOR CHINA.
Opinion of the Paris Temps--The Mon-
 roe Doctrine.

Paris, Jan. 8.-The Temps this even ing devotes it's leading editorial to the American diplomatic victory in the con- test for the "open door" in China. It says: Europe could not place difficult ties in the way of Washington's pro- posal. Each power has always accom- panied the little partitions of China which have taken place with the formal undertaking to maintain the conven- tional status quo It seems then that Secretary Hay gave himself a super fluous task and gained an easy victory, since nobody disputed it. Nevertheless, the negotiations are a grave novelty. The United States are now acting as a great world power. They have emerged from their time honored isolation. IL means that the Monroe doctrine has fallen like a part of the great wall of China. President Mckinley and his secretary of state will have hastened this international revolution by their wars and diplomacy. They have as sured themselves a place in history by taking the responsibility for the ,as- sumption of American rights and obli- gations as great power"

VERN- DIXON FIGHT
Dixon In Superb Shape-The Betting
 Takes a Turn.

New York, Jan. S.-Pilgrims from every part of this great country are in town eagerly awaiting tomorrow night s battle for the featherweight champion ship of the world between George Dix on, the champion, and Terry McGovern, the champion of the bantam class. Both men are as fit as hard and skilful train ing can make them.
 Dixon's superb condition will surprise those who have been betting their mon- ey on the theory that he has gone back. Dixon did just enough road work to- day to keep from getting heavy. He did practically nothing in the afternoon but stroll around in the open air to give him an appetite for supper, and soon after that meal he went to bed. He looked picture of health and confidence. 'Ill fool some of those twoto-one fellows tomorrow night" he said laughing.
 McGovern entertained a score of visit ors at his quarters to-day. Terry had to do a lot of sprinting to bring himself down to weight, but he was well under 117 pounds when he finished his days work. He appears to be in perfect con- dition The boys will weigh in at the Broadway A. c. at o'clock tomorrow. They must scale 11S pounds under pen atty of $500 for any weight over that limit. Then they will have six hours for dinner and digestion and long rest before getting into the ring. They will box twenty five rounds under Marquis of Quoensbery rules, A week or so ago the betting was to 1 on McGovern, while tonight it is hardly better than 100 to 70.

WORK OF CONGRESS.
The Philippine and the Racs Problems
 Brought Up In the Nemate.


 Washington Jan. S-During a discus sion to-day of a resolution of inquiry offered by MT. Pettigrew of South Da- kota some sensational statements were made in the senate regarding the atti- tude of the United States towards the Filipino insurgents. MT. Pettigrew de- clared that this government had attack ed it's allies and thereby had been guilty of the grossest treachery. This state ment was resented warmly by MT. Lodge of Massachusetts, who declared that this government had done nothing of the kind and that not even remotely had it recognized the so-called govern ment of the Filipinos. MT. Morgan, dem, of Alabama, discussed at length the race question in the south, passing his remarks upon a resolution offered by MT. Pritchard, rep, of North Caro- lima. He deemed it imperative that some course should be adopted which would prevent repetition of the Hayes and Tilden controversy, and discussed fully the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. He maintained that an attempt to force the black race into a social and political equality with the white race was only to clog the progress of all mankind. The. speech was strong appeal for ac- ton that would benefit both races and a defense of the new constitutions of Louisiana and North Carolina.

 Accused Worked Testifies

New York, Jan. S.-There was but little weighty testimony produced in to-days proceedings in the trial of Ro- land B. Molineux for the murder of Mrs. Katherine J.

G. who gave testimony as a handwriting ex- pert. MT.

CARNEGIE HALn MOODY MEETING
A Vast Audience present-sankey and
 Oahar Mem speak.

| New York, Jan. S.--Services in mem- ory of the late Dwight l.. Moody were held to-day at Carnegie hall. The vast auditorium was filled to it's utmost with a representative audience. Tehere were ministers of every faith and creed; there were persons from every walk of life and representing every nationality and color. The poor were there and the long line of carriages that extended for blocks down Broadway and Fifty-sev- enth street showed that the rich had warm regard for MT. Moody. William E. Dodge, Moody's lifelong friend, pre- sided and made the opening address. Ira D. Sankey, the dead evangellsts companion in his work, led the singing. The speakers were Rev. William Merle Smith, Rev. David H. Greer, Rev. The odore l.. Cuyer, Rev. J. M. Buckley, Rev A. c. Dixon. Rev. David J. Burrell and John R. Mott.
 MT. Dodge in his opening address, said: This is not an occasion for sad ness, for the life that was so beautiful. so faithful and so successful, has gone to reap it's reward in heaven. Very few are there who ever met Mir. Moody whose hearts were not touched by him and whose lives were not affected in some way, toward good"
 Rev. Dr. Cuyler said: "The mighty voice which was heard so often in this hall has joined the harmonies of heaven. The greatest preacher the modern world has known has gone to his reward Moody was a typical American If I were called upon to point out the names 4t.a af t1, nineteenth century, two figures which every youth in this country should fol- low the example of, l would say with- out estation--Abraham Lincoln and D. l.. Moody. Lincoln, the liberator went to his reward with the shattered manacles of four million persons in his hands. Moody, the liberator, passed through the gates of glory, having lib erated thousands of souls from the bondage of sin"
 pr. Cutting said: Moody knew men and he knew women. He knew but one doctrine and he knew but one heretic- and this was the unconverted man or woman"
 Rev. Dr. Burrell said: Tt was a wonderful life and it was wonderful death. Moody's motto was Time work eth, let me work too; time undoeth, let me work; sin undoeth let me work
 Ira D. Sankey said. Let me add to all that has been said of this great man, that his success was due to one per- son more than any other It was Mrs. Moody" He urged that a great effort be made to perpetuate the schools es- tablshed by MT. Moody at Northfield.
 Dr. Buckley said Moody died when he was most desired. God forbid,' said pr. Buckley, that the schools at Northfield established by Moody shall follow in the lines of the Harvard divin- ity, which was established for the clas- sification of the deity"

BOSTON DIVINITY SCHOOL DISPUTE To be Carried to Board of Bishops of the
 Methodist Church.

Boston, Jan. S.-The recent disagree
 ment among a number of divinity stu
 dents at Boston university with Profes- sor H. G. Mitchell, dean of the theologi- | cal department, was brought before the trustees by President Warren this aft ernoon, and as the matter now stands the charges made against Professor
 Mitchell will be carried to the board of
 bishops of the Methodist church. The publication in the newspapers of the charges against the dean resulted in 8, calling together of the trustees in spe- ctal session. To them it was stated that two of the nine men who, signed the charges, w. E. Verify and B. Frank Neff, wished to have their names re- moved therefrom, and it was decided to give them honorable dismissal from the university, which will make 1t pos sible for them to enter some other the- ological school of the Methodist denom- ination.
 When the nine students first protested to President Warren against what they termed un-Methodistic teachings of Professor Mitchell they were informed that the faculty upheld the dean, where upon the protestants left to enter Drew seminary in New Jersey. MT Verity is the one whom the faculty of Drew The ological seminary refused to allow to enter, but now that he has retracted his charges he will be allowed to con- tinue his studies in that institution. Mr. Neff has not yet decided on his plans for the future. After the meeting President Warren issued a statement specifically setting forth the complaints of the nine students and the consideration they re- ceived from the faculty. In conclusion it says the matter must be carried to the board of bishops for it's decision. In the meantime the trustees have asked Professor Mitchell to give them state ment of his views in plain English, so that 1t can be understood by all, on the Old Testament subjects, especially on the person and work of Christ, which have been charged as -Methodistic and unitarian.
