We hear much of the wheat and
little of the apple crop, says the Du-
luth News Tribune, yet the latter is
worth the most money. According
to the best authority, the total apple
crop of 1900 was 215, 900, 600 barrels.
Surprising that an average price of
50 a barrel was obtained, the aggre-
gate value of the crop was $3.50, 0O0,
900. The average value of wheat is
but little over $500, 900, 900 annually
By this estimate the apple crop is
worth about 90 per cent more than the
wheat. There is reason for this state
of affairs. A European market for
American fruit has been obtained.
Already the exports of fresh apples
exceed 4, 600, 600 barrels year. Abroad
these apples bring nearer 81 than So a
barrel. Even at such prices the export
trade has increased every year until

PROBLEMS OF THE SOUTH
DISCUSSED BY ABRAM FURNEss
He Is a Boston Contractor Who
Has Spent Some Time
In Georgia.

Abram Furness q Boston railroad con-
tractor who has been working in the
south for several months, principally in
Georgia and Alabama, has had abundant
opportunity to study the negro character
as developed south of Mason and Dixon's
line. At the Hotel Nicollet to-day, Mr..
Furness spoke in enthusiastic terms OF
Booker T. Washington and Horace Bum
stead, two earnest men who seem destined
to revolutionize the conditions Of their
race in the country
Mr.. Furness says that Horace Bumstead
Is putting his very life blood into the
work Of maintaining Atlanta university,
which for more than quarter of a CEN
tury has stood as a beacon light for the
colored men Of America. Mr.. Bumstead
believes in higher education for the col
ored people of the whole country. ''The
work at Tuskagee," says Mr.. Furness,
'is undoubtedly what is most needed for
the colored masses, but the work being
done at Atlanta university touches the
peaks of educational advancement. There
a select few are prepared to go out into
the world to teach the true gospel Of
higher education, of development, mental,
moral and physical to their colored broth
ers and sisters" One graduate Of that in
stitution, Robert Lloyd Smith, has trained
$50 teachers for the state of Texas be-
sides exercising strong influence on the
different communities in the state. Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe once made an eloquent
appeal for Mr.. Bumstead," says Mr. Fur
ness. 'tShe was addressing a Boston audi
ence. She recalled visits to Hampton
institute, on the first Of which she had
found General Hampton vigorous and
active man and on the second of which
she found him broken paralytic. Then
turning to Bumstead's work she said with
fervor: oh. men and women of Boston.
do not let Horace Bumstead die in the
same wayi'
"The endowment so greatly needed has
not yet come. but the wearisome hunt for
money keeps up just the same. 1t does
seem as if some of the rich men of the
country could come to the relief of this
splendid institution and perpetuate their
names by living monument"
Mr.. Furness says that business condi-
tions in the south are favorable and that
the era of cotton mill domination in the
southern states to the ultimate undoing Of
all of New England's great factories is as
certain as the rotation OF the seasons.

HOTEL MEN WILL UNITE.
IN GOING AFTER CONVENTIONS
Minneapolis, They Say, Does Not Get
Her Share of the Big Meet
ings of the Country.

Minneapolis hotel men want more con-
ventions. The fact that Minneapolis is not
getting her share of such gatherings. and
that Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas City, Mil
waukee and st. Paul are doing so we'll, has
started a movement among the hotel men
of this city for a ''get together" club, or
any kind of an organization that will make
Minneapolis claims known when the next
place OF meeting is being named at con-
ventions big and little this year. Says 1.
H. Shattuck of the Hotel Nicollet:
We have but one big convention here this
year, the Christian church gathering. We
should have several more. But these things
do not come unless you go after them l am
pleased to learn that the Commercial Club
intends taking up this work 1 am sure the
hotel men will do their part. Minneapolis
should have representatives at several of the
large conventions to be held during the
summer.
Other hotel proprietors expressed them
selves in the same vein. Several are in
favor Of the hotel association idea for con-
Yention purposes.

to presume that the country is prosperous.
Politics in North Dakota is a tame subject

Colonel Dick Woods of Sioux Falls, s. D.,
Is at the Nicollet returning from the meet
ing of the United Commercial Travellers at
Fargo. Colonel Woods has been prominent
character in South Dakota affairs for years.
During the better days Of the Young Mems

state organization in South Dakota and did
much to sustain interest in the league while
the state was temporarily in the clutches in
the epopulists I'VE look for a great year

Ter and politician, was in the city o-day. Mr..
Leistikow says that in his state much de-
pends upon weather conditions for the next
week or ten days as to the ultimate crop re-
turns. There is a trace of damage in places
from lack of moisture, but nothing as yet
worth figuring on. The seed went in with
everything favorable and with good rains
soon North Dakota will produce bumper
crop. The late rains did very little good
in North Dakota. The wheat, says Mr.
Leistikow, is well set and can stand PROD
ably week or ten days of dry weather be-
fore there need be fear of any repetition OF
last years loss, but at the same time there
is general lack of rain complained OF and
what the people are praying for Is a heavy
rainfall right now that the stand through
the summer may be assured.

as an Entertainer
The Institute of Arts and Letters will
bring its 1900-01 lecture course to an end
with the evening of fun which viii be pro-
vided by Charles Battell Loomis at the
Lyceum theater next Friday evening. Mr..
Loomis is desclibed as an up-to-date
humorist Discriminating people who read
current periodicals have learned TO look
for his good things and his jolly books
have delighted thousands-among them are
Yankee Enehantment, - The Four
Masted Catboat," Some Americans
Abroad, {" Just Rhymes" etc. 1t will help
to an understanding Of Mr.. Loomis plat
form ability If it is said that ne is the
master of several dialects and had repu-
tation as an impersonator before he began
to write. Mr.. LOOMS evening with in
stitute patrons will be made up of readings
from '"The Four Masted Catboat" and
other stories and other impersonations.
Dr. Richard Burton of this city. who well
knows Mr.. Loomis and his work, says Of
his coming:
In addition to the fact that he is one
of the best known and most popular writ
eTs of humorous sketches in the country,
Charles Battel Loomis is inimitable as
platform speaker, and l can testify from
hearing him repeatedly in the east. He is
a young man with a phenomenally solemn
visage and true comedy mouth; and when
that feature gets into action and excru-
ciatingly funny things come out Of it, the
effect is much as If a joke should issue
from the portals of a tomb-the incongru-
ity is sublimely ridiculous. As an imita-
tor of the eccentricities Of such man for
example as Talmage, he is splendid; it is
on a par with Rileys take off of ''The
Educator When to these powers is added

and description TO render on the stage, it
will be seen that his entertainment is rich
