Shipments of apples from America
to Europe this season is the largest
ever known. In one week ending with
October Sd, $4,000 barrels of the better
varieties were shipped from New York
to the British Isles, France and Ger
many. This consignment is sufficient
to fill 430 ordinary box cars. The
steamship companies are charging 624
cents barrel for carrying the fruit
over, and No. fancy sells in London
for from 81 to s. per barrel, while in
Germany the better grades sell for
So 80. All the spare room of every
steamship to sail out of New York up
to November 1st has been engaged for
the transportation of the fruit, while
coopers are unable to make barrels
with sufficient rapidity, and even if
they were the farmers could not pack
the apples as fast as wanted

The running of the Reno local will
cease tomorrow until such time as the

necessary in order that freight may

In the New York penitentiary there
is life prisoner who possesses one hun

who are out of Jail, with knowledge
that he cannot enjoy his money and
inspired by very natural desire to do
so for him, have asked the courts to
give them the cash. This criminal will

George Ade, who is known as the
writer of the quaintest fables now
published, is an exceedingly shy and
bashful person. Recently, while at a
dinner party in Boston, where each
guest had contributed song or story
toward the amusement of the COM
pany, it was impossible to prevail upon
Mr.. AIDE to perform his share. Upon
repeated calls, however, the gentleman
was forced to yield, when he arose and
said: 81 will tell you of an excellent
trick in parlor magic. You take a
tumbler and fill it two-thirds full OF
filtered water. Then you insert in the
water a lump of sugar and a spoon,
and You begin to stir In few min
utes the sugar will become invisible. {"

TIE PRESS AND LEO.

A y EASTERN WRITER has just
4 come forward with a belated criti-
cism of the American newspapers for
giving so much space to tho illness and
death Of Pope Leo XIII. He calls at
tention to the fact that very much less
attention was paid by the press to the
passing Of two Methodist bishops of
great learning and influence and pre-
tends to find in the circumstance justi-
fi"ation for the suspicion that the As
ISOLATED Press is under control of the
Roman Catholic church.
1t is probably true. as stated by this
writer. that the two bishops to whom
he refers represented enthusiastically a
larger number of native Americans
than does the pope at Rome" but the
pope represents very many more peo-
pie. enthusiastically, in the world than
any Methodist bishop or bishops and as
such he Is entitled to more attention.
The pope is the temporal head of his
church, church that extends to all the
world
Men and women and children who
don't know there is such an organfza-
ton as the Methodist church know that
there is pope. Consequently more
people are interested in the life and
death or pope. 1t is the province Of
a newspaper or a newsgatherfng agency
to furnish the people with the matter
they want to read. Beyond any question
practically every line of news published
about Leo and his successor was read
with interest by millions.
We agree with the writer quoted that
1T win be a sad day for the Associated
Press and for the daily papers it serves
II the American people should become
convinced that that great news-gather-
ing agency is a tool of the Roman Cath
Ollie church or Of any sectarian or GLASS
body. Powerful as is the influence Of
that PRESS and the daily papers which
compose it, its power would be lost as
quickly as was Samson's when sborn
Of his locks"
However, there is nothing in the rec
ord which is even remotely calculated to
Justify the fears expressed. The fercest
critics Of the Associated Press. and II
mas such critics among the papers If
serves, can hardly accuse if of bei,,,,
dominated by any church organization.
1t IS the duty Of the Associated Press
TO give TIE people all the details of the
biggest news event of a given period.
Pope LeO's illness and death was the
biggest event Of the time covered nv
the two events and the Associated
Press was JUSTIFIED in sending ont
columns about them.
Besides, it must be understood that
no newspaper is by any means bound
to publish matter sent out by the As
socated Press.

REALLY RAPID TRANSIT.

A BRIEF DISPATCH from Berlin,
"A published yesterday, announced
that the highest speed ever attained by
q vehicle was that Of a car on the zos-
sen military railroad. which. propelled

The question that naturally arises in
connection with a discussion Of this
great distance consumer is: Is it safe
20 send cars through space at such
rate? Tt seems hardly possible that an
Affirmative answer can be given. The
track would have to be shut off from
the public by impossible fences, it
would be necessary to station men as

sary and then there would be no as
surance Of safety for pedestrians or
