Estimated Three-fourth s
of Crop of Strawberries
VIII Be Shipped From
BridgeviIIe
Interests Representing
Millions of Dollars
Concerned in Outcome
OF the Freeze
Special to rne Evenns journal.


Brldgeville April THE damage TO the
fruit by the recent severe weather has
been great, but not as bad as at first
feared. The greatest damage has been
done to the peach buds, and strawberry
blossoms and buds. Several farmers re-
ported yesterday that the peach buds had
been entirely destroyed and at least
seventy-fve per cent. OF the strawberry
buds killed. but that such calamity has
not occurred is cause for thanks. The
Evening Journals correspondent and a.
prominent fruit grower yesterday made a.
thorough examination OF the fruit trees
and vines to ascertain the fun damage
from tho freeze and frost. Many peach
orchards were visited in different local
tiles. The buds on both old and young
trees were carefully examined.
The injury to the buds varied according
to the varieties and the age of the trees.
The number Of live buds varied from forty
TO sixty per cent. The average was about
One-hnlf OF the buds alive, or at least not
yet showing and effect from the severe
weather. The reason that the entire crop
was not destroyed is that the trees have
not yet shed the blossom or cap that now
completely surrounds the young and ten
der little peaches. Ten days later, and
after this cap had been forced Off by the
growing peach the damage would have
been greater. Some growers reported last
night that rhe buds on their young trees
of the Elberta variety did not as yet, show
much damage, or not enough to materially
affect the crop.

The Terrtb1e american Child

The process Of evolution still fails to
clvilize the American child. Miss Flo
retta Vining, q newspaper proprietor
in Massachusetts, proposes to assist
the process with the birch. The Amer
lean child, she says, needs "thrashing."
Miss vining has dined at house where
a little girl was allowed to read novel
at table and to disregard the maternal
order to "stop reading and eat your
dinner" When the meat came round
the child "crumbled bread into the
gravy, reading all the time" Il was so
madw says Miss Vining. Her desire to
spank that little girl will awaken gen.

something worse in store for the Amer
lean child. If Mr.. Roosevelt's forebod-
ings over the birth rate are we'll

Posthumous IIumor.

A man who puts joke into his will
is certainly in q position to laugh last.
The police commissioner Of q small
town In the department Of Seine-et-
Disc, France, has just been the victim
of this sort of posthumous humor. y
few days ago he was summoned to
make the necessary legal investigation
in the case of the suicide Of retired
railway servant who had the rcputa-
ton of being very original charac-
ter. On a table he found a large en-
velope bearing the words. "This is my
last will and testament" which he
transmitted to the proper quarter.
Two days later the commissary was
informed that he was sole legatce.
When an inventory of the estate was
made. however it was found that the
liabilities just about balanced tie as
sets and that consequently after pay
ing the funeral expenses the commits
sarys legacy would consist of debts.
He may refuse the legacy, but fec
has to be paid in such cases, and he
will be out Of pociet whether he ac-
cepts or refuses.

Charm of Print Dresses.

fashioned, bearing two very large
tucks upon the hem; and by the way
the very large tuck, known rs the lin

The simple gathered bodice to that

yoke cut with long shoulder seam
made of Irish lace, and the waist
would be encircled by a scarlet leath-
er belt.
