of business on the District side of the Po-
lice Court is shown by a comparison with
the report Of the last preceding year, when
IL 935 cases were tried and $50 COS 81 col
lected as fines. Mr.. Pugh in his report
says:
The record of cases and money collected
indicates a remarkable and indeed unpre-
cedented increase in the number Of cases
examined and filed and money collected in
only one branch of the Police Court, and
amined and for which warrants were not
issued. This latter class will almost equal
the class for which warrants were issued,
and, when considered, you can then, i'm a
measure, appreciate the tremendous ana
sometimes oyertaxing labor required by
your assistant with the aid of one clerk,
who is a detail from the police force. This
Is the only court that turns into the gov
eminent a net revenue, and sufficient force
should be provided to handle this tremen-

that requires prompt and immediate action
in order to properly handle the cases-pun-
ish the guilty and relieve the innocent.
1T seems to your assistant that the code
which undertakes to divide the business
of the court gives to our side of the court
more than two-thirdS of the cases Of which
this court has jurisdiction, and, then again,
the police force is being increased every
year, and, of course, the cases to be ex-
amineo and filed necessarily keep pace with
the increase OF the force.

The Fruit Plethora.
From the Boston Herald

pTOu the Boston Herald.
Rarely, If ever. has there been such a
superabundance Of fruit as now abounds in
the New England orchards The limbs Of
the apple and pear trees hang heavy under
the weight Of their enormous yield, and the
ground beneath the trees is covered with
the decaying droppings. In some localities
fine apples may be had for the picking and
an offer of half a dollar a barrel for the
fruit on the tree Is eagerly accepted in the
rural districts. Thousands of bushels are
being fed to the cattle and pigs, and the
cider mills are glutted with raw material
for the presses. 1t seems pity to see such
large quantity of fine fruit going to waste.
1t is almost super1uous to offer suggestions
in the line of thoughtful philanthropy to
DR.. Hale, but the glutted condition of the
orchards suggests that it might be a good
idea to renew his farmers fruit Offering
scheme. which furnished such liberal sup
ply of free fruit to the poor people of Bos-
ton when 1t was originally undertaken. I'm
doubtedly a great many bushels of apples
can now be had for the asking.

DARKNESS THREATENS CHICAGO
Gas Plant Has Only Sufficient Coal for
Twenty DAYS.

A special to the New York Times from
Chicago yesterday says:
Chicago may be plunged into darkness
a result of the coal strike. The Peoples
Gas Light and Coke Company is unable to
secure any fuel in the market, and only has
a supply for twenty days more. On the
ability of the concern to secure enough coal
for its plants depends the lighting facilities
of 100000 Chicago business houses and resi-
dences.
Ever since the coal strike was declared
the company has had agents in every part
of the country where coal could be bought.
They have made purchases without regard
to price. but have not been able to secure
fuel as rapidly as it is consumed by the
company.
With instructions to buy at any price the
company's agents have been able to secure
ten cars of coal day, while the big boilers
of the concern were consuming the fuel at
the rate of thirty cars a day. The reserve
stock of coal always kept on hand has been
steadily decreased until all but exhausted.
To add to the serious situation being
faced by the officials of the company, the
agents are beginning to notify the company
that there is no more coal in sight.
Never before in the history of the gas
company has il been called to face such a
coal famine. All kinds of plans have been
devised to meet the situation, but there is
no relief in sight.
