from the sale of fruit in this condition that he has prepared a number of lantern slides showing fruit stands in various parts of the city. These pictures he shows to illustrate lecture on the sub. ject and to warn his audience on the menace to their health in eating such products.
 There is no question:" said Dr. Free man. that much of the summer com plaint among children is caused by the eating of green and immature fruit. Much of the sickness among adults is also from the same cause"
 What is the direct result of eating green fruit?" the doctor was asked.
 Tn children summer complaint, often times resulting in death. In adults an in- jury to the mucous membranes, bringing about chronic diarrhoea, liver troubles and other acute diseases resulting in cancer of the stomach and death. Green and immature fruit is offered for sale in New York in alarming quantities, and much sickness is caused by It."
 No one who has never investigated the matter has any idea of the stupendous business that Is done every day in the year except holidays and Sundays, in the shipment of fruits and vegetables to this market. If you go to the wharves in Manhattan any morning as early as o'clock you will see great quantities of fruits and vegetables come in by boat and trains from all parts of the world.
 You will see commission men receiving large consignments from every point of the coppass. Great punches of bananas from Central America will be stacked up in heaps upon the pier. Crate after crate of pineapples from Havana. Florida, Key West, the Indian River and Puerto Rico will be piled indiscriminately wherever an inch of room may be found. Boxes of Icmons and oranges will be placed one on top of another till the towers threaten to topple over There will be
 barrels of apples and crates of strawber-
 ries, great boxes of cabbages and toma- toes from the South. and every variety of fruit and vegetable that is in season. You will see the commission men rapid ly sort out their shipments. and in an
 hour or two you will see the wholesale fruit and produce jobbers come to the wharf and make their purchases. They buy in car lots and their teams convey the products to the big wholesale mar kets. The most important of these mar kets in Manhattan are Gansevoort Mar ket, Washington Market Catherine and West Clinton Street Markets. In Brook | lyn the chief wholesale market is the | Wallabout

 sNew York faces no greater menace to life and health today than the avaianche of green fruit that Is daily poured lhto the markets Some thousands Of car loads and ship loads of immature frult are received every month here ana nun dreds of thousands of people eat it in this dangerous condition. The enormous business done in this line may be under stood when 1t is known that more than $1O0 GOO a day is paid by the citizens of the greater city for fruit and vegetables, large part of which is green and imma- ture, causing innumerable cases of chol- era and intestinal troubles. leading to cancer of the stomach and other fatal disorders
 The death rate of Greater New York is at present 1877 per 900 and the total number of deaths thus far in 1903 Is near l ly 24 900, Last year during July, when the gren fruit sales were the highest. the death rate among children under a year old was PIT in every 1000. Of these deaths | a prominent physician in Manhattan at tributes nearly 20 per cent directly to the
 children or the mother eating green fruit, Hundreds of other eases of disease and | sickness among adults are also due, 1t is | said. to the same cause.
 The sale of green fruit and the other | evil of displaying it in the open air ex- | posed to disease germs has been made a
 special study by pr. R. G. Freeman, the
 well known specialist of 205 West Fifty

is green and entirely unit for eating.
 The enormous business done in the eala of fruits will be apparent when 1t ia known that during last months there were shipped into the New York market 50z, ,400 punches of bananas, which, at the aver age price received. amounted to a money value of s1s.6s6 a day. Of pineapples for the same period there were received here 94O2l crates and 7,8H barrels, amounting to from 5000 to $10.0oo day. Of lemons there were received 1S1,0 boxes, repre- sentins a value of tl2.00O a day. The number of boxes of oranges received at this port was 275.523 for the last month. representing a daily expenditure of more than $lS.OOo. For the week just passed the shipment of apples was 1G.S30 barrels, and the amount paid out each day for them was $6, 600.
 The expenditure of the joobbers ae wholesale rates for these fruits aIoua amounts to more than $66,000 a day Taking into account the increase in retail prices and the sale of other small frulta and vegetables it is safe to estimate that the daily sales fin New York city amoyYnR to more than $lO0,000
 And thousands of tons of this fruit are sold in a dangerously immature state.

Rrav headed, fat and pompous with ringing voice and a fine eye. He received much applause from the audience during hio address.
 He spoke of lynching, its demoralizing influence and the state of society where lynchings occur. He took up the various poiats of the lynching question and dis cussed them eloquently. He ascribed the evil to the fact that the negro as race would not help himself by raising his standard of morals. From those who would not help themselves the rest of the race he said suffered. He urged those who did know and thought to get out or this country going to one where they would not be oppressed by this innuenco and prejudice.
 Turner inveighed against the treatment of negroes, declaring the term negro problem" was a misnomer
 Warren's New Idea.
 He was followed by E. H. Warren Of Detroit. Mich, who opened his remarks by saving that in his opinion the negroes of Montgomt ry were afraid to attend the meeting for fear that the white people or this city would be prejudiced against them for doing so. He raited at the ne- Rroes severely for this, and said that they should have more racial pride and inde- pendence than to be influenced this way
 He said that he had been frequently told since coming to the South that he being Northern negro was not the victim or race prejudice, but that the negroes of the South are. He answered this by saying that North or South the race prejudice was equal, and that It's sting is as bitter in Maine as in Alabama. He urged tnlS as a cause for emigration.
 He advocated laws for the proposed ne- gro Republic of Liberia, holding that the Constitution of the United States should be followed as whole, but advocating A single tax and several other Socialistic ideas
 At the conclusion of his remarks, Charles O. Harris of Montgomery arose, and, in fiery language, denounced the statement that the negroes of Montgom- cry were afraid to attend any meeting which might prove of benefit to their race He said it was an injustice both to the negroes of Montgomery and the white people He ascrbed the cause of the small attendance to the lack of advertis- ing and the failure of number of preach CTS to make announcement of the meet ing from their pulpits as is the custom ary way of advertising negro conven- tions
 Warren said that he was glad that liar ris had corrected him, and that the ne- groes of Montgomery are fearless in going to meetings of benefit to their race.
 The convention adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock, when the negroes will hold an executive session This af- ternoon they will hold another public meeting, at which several speeches will be made The last meeting will be held to- morrow forenoon.

 'In view of the fact that 1t is the first crime of the kind which ever has occur red in Georgia and because of the frank confession of the young men. sentence Is imposed in order to convince the public that the purpose of the court Is to warn and deter others from like crime. During good behavior fine is suspended upon pay ment of 500 by each.'
 The offense was that the young men, who are prominent farmers. caught negro who had gotten in debt to them. gave him a whipping and made him go to work for them.
 Judge Speer said that the problem of the times could not be solved by harsh measures and wanted it distinctly under stood that he laws of Georgia were against such treatment.

ARMY SCANDAL TO Be
AIRED IN PARLIAMENT
Young Officers FIogged by
Senior SubalternS.

LONDON, Feb 11-Rear Admiral Basil
Cochrane. retired, in a letter published
in the London Times" makes astound-
ing revelations regarding the ''barbarous
system" prevailing among the Guards
regiment for the punishment of subal-
terans who are found guilty of social or
military offenses.
According to Admiral Cochrane, the
colonel of one battalion has been in the
habit of handing over offending officers
to the senior subaltern; ne latter sum-
mons a Ourt-martial at which the at
tendance OF all the subaIterns is exacted
and the sentence is almost invariably
fogging. This is administered on the
back after the removal of all clothing
From six to forty blows with a cane are
given with such severity that the lesser
number is sufficient to draw blood
All the officers present. even the most
intimate friends of the victim. are com
PEELED to administer their share of
blows.
The admiral cites the instance OF a
young officer who tainted after receiv-
ing forty strokes. He also refers to the
case of his own nephew, who is not nam
! GU ouI VINO clearly IS captain LeVeSOn-
Cover, who for an unintentional military
fault was tried and logged. Subsequently.
according to Admiral Cochrane. his
nephew was punished with great sever
ity. by Major General OIiphant, formerly
commander of the Grenadier Guards. for
petty fault, and in consequence of con-
tinued ill-treatment resigned his com
I mission last week. When Lord Roberts
the commandcr-in-chief.w was informed OF
these occurrences through relatives. he
severely reprimanded Colonel Ricardo
commander of the guards, and put Lieu
tenant Colonel Kinloch, of the same reg
iment, on half pay
That such a revolving custom" could
prevail among Officers and gentlemen"
or could be submitted TO by full-Rrovn
men has caused a great sensation. The
whole subject will be fully aired in par
lament.
