VEGETABLES and
FRUITS GROW WILL
Crops Promise Coed Yields
Farmers Nay Save Fruit
Trees

Already have the farm products be-
gun to show the touch OF the ap-
preaching winter, and the cool nights
have had a visible effect on the fruits
and vegetables. The market now does
not present that fresh appearance
which it did during the summer
months.
In the fruit line the farmers say
that apples are still falling, and the
winter varieties are scarcer. Some
orchards will turn out wel, however,
and generally the fruit left on the
trees is of superior quality.
A few white cling stone peaches are
still being put on the market, but
peach yields in general are over for
the season. Pears are fairly good, and
sOmo winter varieties are already be-
ing gathered. Pears are firm, well-de-
veiOped and nicely colored.
The dry weather has injured the late
vegetable gardens Turnips are not a
good stand, owing to poor termination
of seed planted in August. Sweet pO-
tatoes are light in yield, but there has
been an Improvement over the first of
the season. Late cabbage IS generally
poor. The late potatoes promise good
yieds. but win not be as good as the
early crop. There has been very little
loss from rotting. Fine white potatoes
are now selling from twenty to thirty
cents a basket. Tomatoes are doing
well, and the yield is better than eX-
pected for the time of year. The fear
Of frosts in the near future has led the
growers to give close attention to the
crop as it ripens, and as a consequence
the canneries have been very busy.
They will soon be running short time,
however, as the yields have already be-
gun to fall short in places. The quail
ty of the tomatoes has been unusual
ly good during the entire season.
Grapes are ripening earlier than
usual, and are now about over, ex-
cept for Catawbas. and a few other va
rieties The quality has been good.
The peach borer has been causing
some of the farmers considerable anx-
iety. The peach borer must be dug
out of the tree with knife. It's pres
ence may always be known by the
chips which, It leaves while boring into
the trees. The tree will not be injured
If the cutting is done lengthwise-that
is up and down the back-but cutting
across tho bark should be avoided if
possible. If the knife blade will not
reach the borer use a piece of wire. The
majority OF trees are destroyed by
borers. and those who have had no ex-
perience with the pests, CIR given at
tention to the work of destroying them,
attribute the loss of the trees to the
"yellows,' or some other disease.

Two Shot In Quarrel over Money.

Cleveland, Sept. 25. - Mrs. Charles
Heffner was shot to death late yester-
day afternoon and her husband was
probably fatally wounded, both crimes
being committed. it is alleged, by Lud-
wig Sedlazyk, a frequent visitor at the
Heffner house. The motive for the
crime is believed to be a quarrel over
a money transaction between Heffner
and Sedlazyk. But two snots were
fred, the first piercing Mrs. Heffner's
heart and the second entering Heff-
ner's right lung Sedlazyk was seen
leaving the Heffner house with re-
volver in his hand. He was arrested
within a few minutes after the crimes
were committed.

Wilmington A. A. played the High
land team yesterday afternoon and al
most lost The Athletics knew they
were going to have an easy time, but
they expected TO have too much Of a
good thing, and as a consequence they
almost lost the game. While Highland
was never in their class, they forgot
the umpire could take a hand, and he
did. This netted Highland three of
their runs. Noblitt pitched four in
nings and did very we'll. He was sue
oeeded by EversOn, who seemed to be
amused by the desperate stabs his op-
ponents made at his benders. High
land was in the lead until the Athletics
came to bat in the ninth inning, and
landed two runs by good, hard batting.

OPPOSITION TO SPANISH.

New Britain, May 3O.-ConsideraDle opposition is being manifested to the introduction of Spanish in the High school. The chief objection seems to be that the town would not be justi- fled in paying $500 year for an in- structor to teach one study to few scholars. It is understood, however, that many of the local manufacturing concerns, whose trade in the Spanish speaking countries, the Philippines and the islands of the Caribbean sea, is Constantly growing larger, have re- queSted that New Britain boys be giv- en an opportunity to study the lan- guage Some of the concerns now employ stenographers who are famil- far with Spanish. Superintendent Stuart said on the subject Wednesday afternoon: No class in Spanish will be started unless at least fifteen schol- ars make application to take up this study There are already several ap- plications for the position as teacher. A good instructor could be secured to devote an hour a day to the school and spend the rest of his time in an office position at one of the factories, or a teacher could be employed who can teach French and other studies as well as Spanish

KING EDNARD'S BIRTHDAY
Comes in November, but was Of ficially Celebrated To-Day.

Lord Roberts, Commander-inC Chief
 Led the Procession. Wearing the Uni.
 form of the Irish Guards-The King
 Presented Colors to the Grenadier : Guards-The Weather Was Wet and
 Uncomfortable.
 London, May 30.-The birthday of King Edward, (who was born Noyem- Der g, 1S4D. was officially celebrated to-day, it having been decided, as an nounced ill the official gazette, April 15, that his majesty's natal day was to be celebrated in London and on the home stations May 30, as being the most suitable time for q military dis play.
 On the other hand, foreign stations will celebrate it November 9, the ac- tual anniversary of his majesty's birth.
 General interest in the celebration was apparently not seriously dimin- ished by the expectations of the great CT series of events surrounding the coronation. The towns throughout the kingdom were gaily decorated and be- Jagged to-day and the shipping at the various ports made the gayest displays of bunting. The day was observed at all the home military and naval headquarters with parades and salutes The chief celebration was the cere- mony of dropping the colors,n on the Horse Guards parade here, and the presentation of colors to the new Irish Guards. Stands covered with crim- son cloth were erected on three sides of the parade ground, and were occu- pied by thousands of private specta- tors, including the United States am- bassador, Joseph H. Choate, and Mrs Choate, and the secretary of the Unit ed States embassy, Henry White Thousands of other people were group ed closely around the lines of specta- tors.
 The troops taking part in the cere- monies were battalions of the Irish guards, Grenadier guards, Scots guards and detachments of the Life guards Tremendous cheering greeted the ap- pearance of the king and his brilliant escort. His majesty, who rode be- tween the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Connaught, wore the uniform of colonel of the Irish guards. Lord Roberts, the commander-in-chief of the forces, who led the procession, also wore the uniform of colonel of the Irish guards. Queen Alexandra and other members of the royal family viewed the scene from the windows of the Horse guards. After an inspec- tion of the line of troops and the pre- sentation of the colors the ceremonies ended with a review 4 all the troops on the ground.
 The king, during the afternoon, pre- sented colors to the kings company of the Grenadier guards.
 The weather was wet and raw.

Two Men Commit Suicide in Central
 Park.
 New York, May 30.-Two men, poor ly dressed and bearing every symptom of abject poverty, sitting side by side on a bench in Central park, were found late last night by policemen.
 He thought they were asleep, but dis covered they were dead. On the walk at their feet lay two empty whiskey flasks. An ambulance surgeon who was summoned said that the men had died of some sort of poison, but just what he was not able to state.

DECORATION DAY BASEBALL.
Scores of the Games Played in the
 Leagues This Morning.

Scores of the Games Played in the Leagues This Morning.
 Waterbury won the game from Bridgeport this morning before 1000 people, and won it very decisively. It was the locals day for batting, and they made Kid Schuman, the boy who has been trimming all the other teams, look like thirty cents before they fin ished with him. He was batted for seventeen bases with total of twenty two. Every man on the Waterbury team got one or more hits, and Charley Clancy had good hand at the game and pounded out three of them, one of them two sacker. There were five two-baggers on our side and one for Bridgeport. Every local player crossed the plate at least once with a run. It was a great morning for batting and the locals were right in their element. Charley Clancy was pitching good, steady base ball. and although he had two wild pitches, he was right in line when it was close fighting. In the sitxh inning is where Bridgeport was made very tired, and, as one of the boys on the grounds expressed it, it was almost a knockout. Six runs from five hits was that innings work. Waterbury played fast, snappy ball, and delighted the fans present. Jim O'Rourke was fit to be tied and berated some of his players for loose work Jerry Denny was at second, but did nothing startling, and he failed to hit safely at the bat.
 Weisbecker in left field and Henry in center had big day for put-outs, and many of them were corkers. All in all it was a good game to watch and good game to win. The score and summary:
