A FEW FACTS


The new Catarrh Cure is new de-
parture in so-Called catarrh cures because

convenient form.
The old style of catarrh salves and oint-
ments are greasy, dirty. and inconVeuient
at tine best. dhe new preparation being
i'm tablet form is always clean and con-
Venient.
The new Catarrh Cure is superior to
Catarrh powders because it is notorious
fact that many catarrh powders contain
cocaine.
The mes. Catarrh Cure is called Stuart $
Catarrh Tablets. wholesome eDmbina-
ton of blood root, beachwOod tar, guai-
acol. and other antisepticS, and cures by
it's action upon the blood and mucous
membrane. the only rational treatment
for catarrhal trouble.

THE STREET RAILWAY FRAUDS.
HcnrinEslWiH Probably be Resumed d


The pressure of other business before
Judge Scott, in the Police Court yester-
day. prevented the resumption of the
hearing in tho cases of George E. Cadarr.
George w. Blair John w. Meyers. John
]. Keating, and Edward Parker. former
employees of the Washington Traction and
Electric Company, who are charged with
conspiracy aoidefraud that corporation by
rescuing cancelled tickets from destruction
in the furnacts of the company and turn
ing them in as good fares.
Cadarr has furnished bond in the sum
of $1,000, and is at liberty, but the other
defendants have been unable to do so. AL
though the witnesses have been sum-
moned for this morning. it is extremely
likely that the hearing in the case will
not be resumed before Monday. as Judge
Scott will preside over both branches of
the court today and will hardly be able
to dispose Of the routine business in time
to take up any additional work.
To counteract the erroneous impression
that has gained currency among the en-
ployes of the Washington Traction and
Electric Company that they were all un-
der suspicion. the managers of that COM
pany yesterday issued the following no
tice:
''To All Employees: While a few en-
ploycs have been detected in efforts to
defraud the company and while a few
other employees are reasonably suspected
OF dishonorable practices. the company
desires to place on record its confidence
IN the great majority of those who are
on its pay rolls
The proportion of wrongdoers. while
vicious, is small and there is no founda-
tlon whatever for any public impression
which beclouds the reputation of hun
dreds of unquestionably honest and eff
ministrative officials to do all things pos
sible to protect from the assaults of the
INSCRIPTIONS the large number of up
right and faithful employees who are care
ful as to the interests placed in their
keeping"

As the Result of an
Arrangement
With the Pennsylvania
Company.
Interchange of Passenger Traffic
to Buffalo.

The arrangement made by the Erie
for an Interchange Of passenger traffic
with the Pennsylvania has been taken
to indicate that the Union depot will
soon be used by the Erie. The change
of trains from one system to the other
will be made at Akron, hence the name
akron Route" now being advertised.
Among the necessities suggesting
this interchange of traffic is the desir-
ability of such arrangements as n
means of securing for both roads bet
ter railway accommodations for people
who will attend the exposition at Buff
falo. In this way better and more
direct route is secured.
When the season of travel to the ex-
position begins, trains on the Penn
sylvania line will leave st. Louis morn
ing and evening, and make the journey
via Akron, using the Erie road where
necessary. Trains will also leave
Louisville, under similar arrangements.
Two trains, daily will leave Buffalo
for st. Louis and Louisville via Akron.
BY doing this large per cent. Of the
passenger traffic from regions south
and west of Louisville and st. Louis
will be secured. The Erie, for this
trade, will use its line of SO miles
direct from jamestown, n. Y, to Buff
falo. 1t will also handle traffic out of
Cleveland for Cincinnati via the c., A.

MEASURING THE TREES.

In view of this unequaled spectacle
we felt little backward about meas
uring the tree, as implying a skepti-
which we no longer entertained. But
he produced the tape-line and we pro-
cecded. We threw one end of it over
the tree, then the other end over at
right angles, thus dividing the tree into
quarters. Two of us attempted to
count the fruits in one quarter, but it
was useless, we had to abandon the
attempt The tree was twenty eight
feet around the branches, six feet six
inches TO the highest fruit and eight
feet to the top of the tallest shoot.
We drove across the road and into
anther pomelo grove belonging to Mr..
Harrington. These trees were small
er and we decided to make another
attempt to measure and estimate a
trees load Selecting one as we'll load
ed in proportion as the one above de,
scrlbed we found it to be seventeen
feet in circumference around the
branches and five feet to the topmost
fruit Quartering the top as before
with the tape-linc, two of us counted
the fruits in one quarter, although
with great difficulty, on account of
their crowded condition. One OF us
made seVcnty-nine, the other eighty
1t was the best quarter Of the tree,
and we agreed to figure tile load at 300
fruits They were about of the Ga
size, which would give five boxes to
the tree The largest tree above de-
scrbed will easily yield ten boxes, If
not more.
1t is only just to state that the
pomelo especially n young tree, after
bearing such an excessive crop of
fruit, generally rests the following
year, yielding little or nothing.
Ninety-ive per cent Of this fruit is
bright, 1t is generally regular in
form, though occasionally squeezed
ont of shape by the dense crowding,
and even the fruits growing on the
ground show no blemsh as result
of it. The secret Of these remarkable
crops is good judgment and careful
personal attention to details, frequent
shallow cultivation Of the tree rows,
the growth of beggarweed in the mid
dies, the use of Mapes manures and
! slight heading-back of the tops.
