LARGE APPLE CROP.
One Who Knows Talks on Prospects
for Thanksgiving.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
There seems to be no immediate dan
ger that apple pie and apple sass"
and apple jelly and cider and all the
other comfortable things that spring
from the heart of the apple tree will
become extinct in the United States
this fall. The apple farmers West and
East are hilarious over the crop, and
even the downtown commission Iner-
chants smile as they behead barrel aft
er barrel of golden Porters, rosy
streaked Gravensteins, delicate Maid
en- Bushes and other favorites innum-
cradle.
Although the people who know say
this is going TO be great apple year,
the more conservative are of the opin-
ion that after the autumn no one can
tell how things will go in the orchards.
SO about Thanksgiving and Christmas
good apple may become something
of luxury, although this seems hardly
likely in face of the hundreds of bar
rels of beauties now being hurried to
this city by train and boat.
One of the men who know all about
the apple crop of the country and can
talk apple" from the ground up said
yesterday:
1.-THE fall apple crop will amount to
20 per cent, taking the country by and
large, but of this so per cent. must be
discarded as of poor quality, on ac-
count of a fungus or scab that disfig-
ures the surface In Western New
York, where our best winter fruit
comes from, the crop will be a total
loss on this account. Within radius
of $50 miles of this city the fruit is
very fine.
with regard to winter apples, it is
hard to say whether they will be plen-
tiful or the reverse, cheap or dear
But New York city never saw a finer
apples than now. One dollar and a
half will buy a barrel of nice apples,
good for both cooking and eating. APP
pies are lower by one-half than they
were at this time last year. Don't
let people get the idea that apples are
going to be an unattainable delicacy
after the fall opulence is expended
It's Pippins to Baldwins that there
will be apples enough to go round-or,
any rate, one apiece"
Porters, which are about the earliest
of the fall apples, are almost gone for
the year. They vary greatly in quail
ity, and in price range from so cents
to $3.50 a barrel. For eating purposes
there is nothing superior to the Maiden
Blush, which brings from $1.75 to $50
a barrel, and the Duchess of Olden-
burg, at 81. Pound Sweets sell at $3.50,
but the demand does not seem great
for these, nor for Pelicans, at $175.
Pippins are to be had at from 80 cents
to 81 a barrel. For a combination of
cooking and eating qualities there is
nothing in the market just at present
to excel the Gravenstein and the King,
the former retailing at from $1.75 to
$3.50, the latter at from 81 to $3.50.

wrecks their nervous systems, and
they seem unable to reform.
A lady in Philadelphia, Pa, was very
badly affected by coffee, causing her to
have nervous prostra ton, and she fin
ally woke up to the fact that she was
in reality a coffee drunkard. The doc
tor had told her that she must give
UP coffee, but she seemed unable to
do It.
One day she read an advertisement
about Postum Food Coffee and thought
she would give it a trial She says:

TO ELIMINATE
NEGRO DELEGATES.
Latest Alleged Scheme of President Roosevelt
to Secure Southern Delegates in 1904

Washington. Sept. 9.-Negro dele
gates from the Southern states are not
wanted in the Republican National
Convention of 1904. The systematic
elimination of the negro from the in
ner councils of the Republican party
in the South is already Systematically
under way. How far President Roose-
welt may he responsible for this can
not be stated at this time. but the
movement is being worked by his
friends and 1t is apparently directly in
his interests.
While the ultimate object of the men
who are. engaged in shutting the negro
out of the Republican party may be to
build up a white mans Republican
party in the South by bringing about
political divisions on economic quas-
tons rather than on the race issue.
there is no doubt that if the expecta-
ton Of the Presidents friends are re-
allied, its immediate effect will be TO
make the denomination of President
Roosevelt certain.
The Presidents friends realize that
his denomination will be opposed by
all the power that the trusts and great
corporations can yield. This
will probably mean that he
will have the East array I'd
against him in the convention. He will
have to depend on the South and the
West for the votes to carry him
through. The Presidents friends pro-
pose to see to it that none but trusted
Roosevelt men are sent as delegates
from these sections as far as 1t is in
their power to do so.

RAINS TOO LATE FOR COTTON
The Texas Crop Opening More Rapidly Than 1t
Can BE Picked

Washington, Sept. 9.-The Agrieul-
tural Departments weekly summary of
crop conditions says:
Although the week was cool in the
central valleys and lake region with
more than the average rainfall in por-
lions of the upper Mississippi valley,
maturing crops have made generally
favorable, though not rapid advance
ment. The greater part of Texas, in
which state severe drought prevailed
at the close of the previous week, has
received abundant rainfall, and
drought conditions in the Middle At
lantic coast districts have also been
largely relieved.
Notwithstanding the prevalence of
low temperatures throughout the corn
belt, and copious rainfall in portions of
the upper Mississippi valley, the corn
crop has made very satisfactory ad-
vancement toward maturity, and
wholly escaped injury in the states
eastward of the Mississippi river from
frosts occurring on the 4th and 5th.
with but slight injury in the states to
the westward.
Texas and a large part of the ;en-
trail and eastern districts of the cot
ton belt have received abundant rain
fall during the week, but it is doubt
full whether the beneficial effects of
these rains to late cotton will offset
the injury done to the open staple.
Cotton has opened more rapidly than
it could be picked. In portions of the
central and eastern district many
fields are already nearly cleaned, and
the reports generally indicate that the
crop will be gathered much earlier
than usual.
Late tobacco has experienced a sen
eral Improvement in the Middle At
lantic states and Ohio Valley, and cut
ting and housing have progressed I'M
der favorable. conditions in all tobacco
states.

The West has always been the Rcose-
Welt stronghold and 1t is thought that
his attitude on the trust question viii
not hurt him any there, The South,
too. could he depended upon to send
Roosevelt delegates to The convention
without any elimination of the negro
element, but the question is whether
the negro delegates could be Deepen led
upon to stick If they should arrive in
the convention city and find themselves
exposed to the peculiar kind of temp
tations'' which the trust manag srs
might throw in their way.
Peculiar stories have been told il the
past of the inability Of the cOlored
delegates to resist temptation of this
kind, and ii Is said that the Presidents
friends believe 1t is theIr duty to pIo-
tect their colored brethren from the
liability of being teapted. At present
there seems to be every reason to be-
lieve that the plan will be success
fully carried out.
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina,
whose elimination of the negroes from
the North Carolina Republican Conven-
tion is still fresh in the public mind,
is said to have been selected as the
chief agent for carrying out the pro-
gramme of getting white Roosevelt del
egations from the Southern states. 1t
is recognized that there are some white
men in the Republican party in the
South who would be as liable to Void
to temptation as would the negroes.
These men. too are to be eliminated
when 1t comes to the selection of dele
gates. 1t is said that Senator Pritch-
ard is expected to personally select
the men in the different Republican
states who are to see to 1t that none
but reliable white Republicans. men
who will stand out for President
Roosevelt to the last, are chosen as
delegates

The Night Meeting objected to by
Many Tallahassee Voters.
Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. BIN ITALIA
hassee the custom has long prevailed
of holding night primaries at the City
Hall for the nomination of candidates
for municipal officers at the annual
election in February.
While there are more votes at this
primary than is ever polled at an cleo
ton, it does not altogether please the
public for the reason that there are
many old men, property owners and
taxpayers, who do not go out at night
and therefore have no voice in select
ing the men who manage the af-
fairs of the city. This manner of pro-
cedure has developed a. demand for a
daylight primary, in order that all men
may have an equal showing in nomi-
mating and electing municipal officers
may have an equal showing with other
men.

"I believe" said Robert Curran, as
he sat in the Union depot yesterday
waiting for a train, that l have dis
covered one of the lost ten tribes of
Israel" Mr.. Curran was talking ID
a friend at the time, but the caves
dropper, who takes a great deal of in
terest in the lost ten tribes, could not
restrain his curiosity and broke into
the conversation with an abrupt
Where? Do tell me where" Mr..
Curran evinced some establishment at
the interruption, but on being told that
it was customary in this part of the
country to acquire information at
whatever cost, became resigned to his
fate.
II of course don't really know that

Curran, who lie returning to his home
in Natchez, Miss, from the Philip
pines, where he has been instructing
the little brown children in the three
"r's" at the expense of the govern
ment, but think that in the tribe Of
Moros living near Bacolor, in Minda-
mao, the Sultan of whom has lately
been very saucy. a deliver into the
musty history of past and forgotten
people will find from their customs
that the Moros, now Mohammedans
of the worst type, were once far back
in forgotten ages ornamented with the
facial appearance now to be seen in
the descendants of the two tribes
which did not get lost.
my reasons for thinking so are
numerous, but perhaps the strongest
is that they believe in the Jewish rite
of circumcision and hold no man friend
or brother who does not. Another
thing is that they most cordially hate
and despise the Americans because
they eat pork, and the third and strong
est reason is, that they hold the Old
Testament in the grandest generation
next to the Koran, and their sages and
wise men can repeat 1t word for word,
backward or forward. The ancient his
tory of the Jews is known to the small
est children who are entertained by
their fathers and grandfathers with
stories of David and Moses and all the
rest OF the Jewish heroes. In much the
same way that American parents tell
their children of the wars of the rev.
olution and the hero, who figured in
them.
Many of the pure blood Moros in
this region have all the facsimile re-
semblance of the race, but no other
attributes.
They are proud, boastful and
naughty in the extreme and delight in
nothing so much as giving exhibitions
OF their prowess with the kriss and
barong. Talking about weapons.
there's another thing which adds to my
belief that they are one Of the lost 10
tribes. The children, when too young

staple VIII Quickly BE Cleaned
From Georgia's Fields.


Atlanta, Sept. 9.-Following is the
Georgia crop report for the week just
ended. Heavy rains fell in numerous
northern and middle counties from the
End to the 4th, and in southern coun-
ties from the 4th to the 9Th. while
in other sections light and occasional
showers occurred during the week. The
rainfall was beneficial to land and late
crops. The soil is now in fine condi-
ton for fall blowing and seeding and
preparations for this work are under
way in various localities. Late forage
crops, sweet potatoes and planted
turnips are making favorable progress.
Fodder gathering has continued in the
northern counties. Some that was
stacked was injured by the rains.
Cotton continues opening rapidly.
The recent rains have been of very TT
tie benefit, as plants in many fields
were beyond recovery. In sections
where the weather of the week was
generally fair, picking was rushed and
is well advanced, many fields being
nearly cleaned. In other districts
picking was retarded by the rains and
the staple was discolored. There is
complaint of scarcity of labor in num-
erous counties. New blooms are scarce,
except here and there on bottom lands,
and no top crop is indicated. Little or no
improvement in the general condition
of the crop occurred during the week.
In a few sections the outlook is re-
garded as the poorest in several years,
and as a rule, a yield considerably
below the average is anticipated"
