CALIFORNIA; NEW pRUNES.
HeFlbed by the Late Senator
Mcmillan.

The recent seismic disturbances in
California gave the late Senator Ne
MILAN an opportunity to tell story
about the boasting procliyities Of the
people Of that state when referring to
their fruit production, says a western
exchange. The senator was fond of a
good story or joke and told one with
great deal of humor and skill. While
q party of friends were discussing the
earthquake shocks in tie golden gate
state, the senator said: They are
so enterprising out there. I've not the
slightest doubt, for ms lance, but that
they'll take very practical advantage
OF these seismic disturbances.
They'll probably put an earthquake
prune on the market, as prunes are
what they happen TO be booming just
now. 1t will appear, suppose, as soon
as ever they can print the labels. They
Nil describe it, at any rate you may
be sure, in theS most modern style.
They'll say that the skin has been
made tender by the sudden jar, that
the juices have been wonderfully
blended by the vigorous shake and that
the stones have been loosened by the
sudden shock. When those prunes are
EteUed they ought to rumble like the
ominous sound Of an approaching
earthquake, and when you put one
into your mouth you ought to expert
ence quick, little electric thrill. AS
for their effect upon the barometer,
if that is brought near any of them,
it will certainly fall to the notch OPP

ful words, Sudden disaster

ARTS OF TIL \ ,..a....
1oE%Ss Doctors Adventure with a
Chief Who was Il Gnn of In
GBIte Resource.

Sir Robert Anderson, X. c. B., the
assistant commissioner of police of
LoDaDa uas another article on pro-
e criminals in the current
s.. .o century and After, says
. ,&"hange.
90; .. sc,rs ago." he says, "a doc
.ot .;4tA4 OF mine, who has large
pr.ti.ce al one Of the suburbs, spoke
10 me about a mysterious patient of
his. Now and then he FASTENED to the
mans house in response to an urgent
message asking for his immediate at
tendance, but though he always found
him in bed, he never could discover
anything serious the matter with him.
But strange incident had recent
ly occurred. When, in compliance
with a summons more urgent even
than usual, my friend hurriedly en-
tered his patients room, the man
sprang up in the bed and covered him
with d revolver. AS a matter Of TACT,
it was this seemingly eccentric indi-
yidual who stole the famous Gains
borough picture which Mr.. Agnew re-
covered in such dramatic manner.
The doctors visits were designed
TO support an alibi in the event of his
being accused Of completely with any
of the crimes he directed. If, for ex-
ample, a police officer should swear
that the man was seen with a fellow
criminal, say at II o'clock on a certain
day, his doctor could testify that an
hour later on that very day he found
him still in bed.
THE man lived in luxury, though
he never did an honest days work in
his life. l know of crimes his earn
ings' from which, taken together,
amounted to very large sums; in one
case they were reckoned by tens OF
thousands Of pounds. At one time he
kept a steam yacht"
Sir Robert Anderson gives another
curious Renaissance.
"a noted criminal just out on IL
ceree, set himself to procure the re-
lease of his pal who had still some
years to serve, and whose help he
wanted in returning to business
For a few shillings a week he rented
E wayside cottage in midland coun-
ty, christened it something or other
hal, and from this address wrote
Dear Sir to the secretary of state.
"The letter was a MASTERPIECES In
every way. The writer posed as
country gentleman who had long
known the conyict's family and long
grieyed over his fall. But though the
poor fellow had had much against
him in early life, he had now by the
death of a relative in Australia sue
ceeded to a substantial fortune, and
he felt certain that If he were re-
leased the auth critics would have no
cause to regret their leniency. The
bait took, the plot succeeded, and the
sonyict was promptly released to
tcense."

Borgia's Later Years.

In the National library Of Florence
an Italian historian has found a doc
ument which contains many interest
4ng and hitherto unknown facts IN
regard to the latter years Of the Ia
nous Lucrezia Borgia. According 10
1t she took the veil and joined the con-
gregation of the Brothers and Sisters
of Penitence, which is better known
under the name Of "Tertiaries Of the
Order of St. Frarcis." She received the
veil from the vicar general, Ludovico
de la Tore, and Giovanni Gonzaga
wrote to her uncle that during the
last ten years of her life she wore
penitential shirt. She died in 1913 and
was buried in the robes Of her order.

4 KING MANAGED.

Indications that United States cotton isn't going to be king forever increase. The Colonial Affairs Committee of Ger many has just published an interesting report on the German Colonial Cotton Enterprises" for 19O2-'Os. It contains many particulars as to the culture of cotton in Africa by Germans, who, &C., cording to the report, saw that there would soon be cotton famine" The effects of the American civil war, the differences between employer and em- ploye and the disproportion between supply and demand are given as some of the reasons for the colonial cotton venture. In order to demonstrate to the readers of the report that the Ger man planters and cotton manufacturers succeeded in producing good and mar ketable cotton 8 sample card accompa- nies the report which shows raw ma terial raised in Togo, and next to this ''good middling'' and other grades of American product, The African cotton

The dress goods and eot- ton fiannels are particularly good pro- ducts of the loom, and the whole exhibit indicates to the layman that the Ger man cotton industry in Africa may make itself felt in the commercial world. The success of the German cot ton enterprise in Africa is especially interesting to Americans from the fact that the men who are active in its de- velopment are negroes who were grad uated from the Tuskegee Institute and were selected for the work by Booker T. Washington.

THE MODERN ARMY.

It is to be regretted that the weather did not second the efforts of the French authorities by shedding the brilliance of a little sunshine upon the striking military display which they had pre- pared for King Victor Emmanuel to-day at Vincennes. But, in spite of clouded skies and intervals of drenching rain, the review must be regarded as a con- siderable and successful effort to im- press an ancient ally with the military efficiency of France. Exceptional care was evidently expended in.the prepara- ton of this striking spectacle, in which a fresh manifestation was given of the thoughtfulness of French politeness. The "Zouaves of Palestro'' were brought all the way from Lyons to take part in the review as @ kind of commemoration of the Franco-Pied- montese victory over the Austrians In May, 1859. This regiment had been decorated by the Kings grandfather,

There is a lot of zeal In this world, and some of it is neither according to knowledge nor propriety. In presenting yesterday a numerously signed petition asking the Senate to expedite the con- sideration of the charges against sena- tor-elect Shoot; the Mormon, Senator Hoar took occasion to remind the send CTS of petitions bearing upon MT. Shoots case that the proceeding is out of order and improper. He based his remarks upon the fact that the determination of Mir Shoots rights will be a purely ju- dicial proceeding, to be determined by the laws and the constitution of the United States. With all due respect to the signers of petitions of this charac- ter" he said, T want to say to them that their petitions are as much out of place when addressed to this high court as similar petitions would be if address ed to the Supreme court of the United States in any case pending before that tribunal"
