Vegetables Are High.

The drought and hot weather of the
past two months have almost ruined
the early crops of fruits and vege-
tables. so that Detroit housewives are
finding prices greatly advanced over
those of year ago. Tomatoes. for
example. sold for 81 to $1.25 per bush
ell: now they are worth 50 to 1925.
Cabbages were drug on the market

Recovered The GnId

Jack Winters. who was arrested as
suspect connected with the Selby
Smelling works robbery of $2SO,O00 in
Vallejo. Cal. has confessed and. so far,
Sl41.0O0 worth Of bullion has been re-
covered from the bay where it had
been sunk. Winters claims he did the
job all alone. He says he made II
trips from the vault to the wharf from
which he dropped the gold. In view of
the fact that promises of clemency
were made to Winters in consideration
OF his unearthing the gold. it is thought
his punishment will be light.

A rare phenomenon attended an
earthquake that visited a little town
in Mexico recently. Having wrecked
several houses in the town the tremor
passed on to a lake in the neighbor-
hood, the waters of which it put into
violent agitation. The agitation ceased
after a few minutes, and then the
water gradually disappeared, leaving
the bottom of the lake exposed, when
it was seen that the earthquake had
opened a fissure in the bottom and
thus drained it.

Juvenile courts and the system Of
probation for young offenders have
proved so successful in Eastern cities,
especially in Boston, that much good
was expected from the introduction of
the plan in Chicago. The results are
disappointing. The fundamental idea
of the system is that for a first offense
a young lawbreaker shall be placed on
probation, during the term of which he
is to be under the care of suitable per-
sons. In Chicago at least twenty-five
probation officers are needed. The city
appointed only five. each of whom has
charge of about three hundred boys,
and the whole fifteen hundred are
herded together in a reformatory
school which does not reform but cor
rupts. 1t is a pity that American cities
are so slow to learn that anything
which prevents an increase in the num-
Der of criminals is a saving In dollars
and cents, to say nothing OF the moral
gain.

A pleasant accompaniment of the
hot weather this summer is the in
creasing tendency on the part of city
teamsters to provide their horses with
head coverings. The really fashiona-
BILE thing in equine millinery is a
walking-hat of straw, with a high
crown and holes in the brim through
which the horses ears protrude. Some
of the transfers who have feminine
friends and sense of humor have
provided their animals with trimmed
hats, generously decorated with chif-
fon, bright-colored ribbons or a gaudy
quill. The hats themselves are a con-
siderable protection against the sun,
and when, as is usual wet sponge
is placed in the crown, the horse can
do his work without danger and in
greater comfort. 1t is a sensible in
novation.

The Kongo ivory as, indeed. all At
rican ivory, is far more highly priced
than the Asiatic product. 1t is harder,
of a finer grain, lends itself more east
ly to workmanship, and has fewer fis-
sures. The tusks of Kongo elephants
are as a rule very large and weigh on
an average of 60 pounds. Some of
them are of extraordinary size. At the
Brussels exhibition a pair of tusks
were on show each of which weighed
156 pounds.

Ohio and Michigan Naval brigades.
Lieut. Commander Winder. who in
spected the brigades in behalf of the
navy department. states that. in his
opinion. the Michigan naval militia. as
it stands to-day. is capable Of manning

emergency. The Ohio brigade did not
have the advantage Of drill on ship
board in previous years. but their work
this year shows commendabe pro-
gress.

ROOSEvELT'S ADDRESS.
Brief and to the Point-Calls the Sen.
ate to Order.

Washington, March 4, 12:42 D. m.-Nrr
Roosevelt was sworn in at u. AZ and gave
his very brief address as follows:
THE history of free government is in
large part the history of those repre-
sentative legislative bodies in Which
from the early times free governments
has found it's expression. They must
ever hold peculiar and exalted posi-
tlon in the record which tells how the
great nations OF the world have en-
deavored to achieve and preserve or
derly freedom. No man can render to
his fellows greater service than is rem
dered by him who, with fearlessness
and honesty, with sanity and disinter.
estedness, does his life work as a mem.
Der of such body. Especially is this
the case when the legislative service is
rendered part Of the governmental
machinery OF one of those world pow-
ers into whose hands in the course Of
ages is entrusted a leading part in
Shaping the destinies of mankind For
veal or for woe, for good or for evil
this Is true Of our own mighty nation.
Great privileges and great powers are
ours. and heavy are the responsibilities
that go with these privileges and those
powers. Accordingly as we do we'll or
i'll, so shall mankind in the future be-
raised or cast down. We belong to a
young, nation, already of giant strength.
yet whose present strength is but a
forecast of the power that is to come.
we stand supreme in a continent in a
hemisphere. East and west we look
across the two great oceans toward the
largest world life in which, whether we
VIII or not, we must take an ever in
creasfng share. And as, keen-eyed, we
gaze into the coming years, duties and
old traditions rise thick and fast to
confront us from within and from
without. There is every reason why we
should face these duties with a sober
appreciation alike of their Importance
and of their difficulty. But there is
alto every reason for facing them with
high hearted resolution and eager and
confident faith in our capacity to do
them Alright. A great work lies ready
to the hand of this generati ton, but it
should count itself happy indeed that
1t is given the privileges of doing such
work. The leading part therein must
be taken by this inaugural and power
full legislative body over which I have
been called to preside. Most deeply do
I appreciate the privilege of my posi-
ton, for high indeed is the honor Of
presiding over the American senate at
the outset of the twentieth century,"
Later, Vice President Roosevelt CALI
ed the senate to order and administered
the oath to the nomnally elected sena~
tors.

1ully set forth the conditions in the isle

the principles which will guide the exe-
cutlVe until the congress shall, as it ia
required to do by the treaty, determine

with the executive the responsibility for

continue the efforts already taken until
order shall be restored throughout the

and when established will encourage the
people to administer them.
Pledge Self Government.
The settled purpose. long ago prevail.
ed, to afford the inhabitants Of the ISL
ands self-government, as fast as thew
are ready for it, will be pursued with
earnestness and fidelity. Already some.
thing has been accomplished in this di.
rection. The governments representa-.
t1ves, civil and military, are doing faith-
full and noble work in their mission Of
emancipation, and merit the approval
anu support or their cOuntrymen. Tha
most liberal terms Of amnesty have al.
ready been communicated to the insur-
gents. and way is still open for those
who have raised their arms against the
government for honorable submission to
it's authority. Our countrymen should
not be deceived. We are not wagine
war against the inh,v9!tants of the Phil.
lpplne islands. A portion of them are
making war against the United States.
by far the greater part Of the inha-
bltants recognize American soyereigntv
and welcome it as a guarantee Of good
order and security for life, property, lib
erty, freedom of conscience and
the pursuit Of happiness. 10 them
1ull protection will be given. They shall
not be abandoned. We will not leave
the destiny Of the loyal inhabitants to the
thousands of those who are in rebellion
against US. Civil government will be
given to those who are capable Of self
government. Force will not be used when
those who make war against US shall
make 1t no more. May it end without
further bloodshed ana there be ushered
in reign of peace, to be made perman-
ent by government Of liberty under
the law.
