BITTERNESS EXISTS

EngliShman Arrested as a Spy
and Hanged.

Berlin, April PA correspondent of the
Frankfurter Zeitung, writing from Har-
bin, Manchuria, under date of March 10,
says: Great bitterness has been arous-
ed throughout Manchuria against Ameri-
cans and British because it is believed
American and British vessels took part
in the commandments of Port Arthur I'M
der the Japanese flag. This belief appar-
emily is due to the fact that the japanese
feet was larger than the Russians antici-
pated and included unknown types of YES
sells. {
THE feeling is SO strong that Ameri-
cans and British are not safe anywhere
in Manchuria. One Rally, an American,
and several others, including Davidson(
a Canadian. have disappeared. The
authorities are looking for them.
1T is reported that an Englishman was
arrested in Port Arthur as spy and
was taken to Mukden and hanged.
The plying of the so-called flower boats
on the Lao river, mostly under the Amer
lean flag and carrying American goods,
has been prohibited.
Southern Manchuria has been secured
for several months for supplies of flour
destined for Port Arthur which is report
ed to be provisioned for two years.

A QUEER ROMANCE.
Step.Mother in the Case and She Mar
rier Sympathizer.

Chairman, n. Y, April 21.-Oout of the
Van Wormer-Hallenbeck tragedy has
come a romance. Mrs. Estelle Van Wor-
mer, the Step-pother of the three young
men who were electrocuted for the muir
der of their uncle, Peter A. Hallenbeck.
became the bride of William C. Schry-
ner, of Camden, this state.
The wedding was the direct result of
the tragedy. Among many kilograms OF
sympathy to Mrs. Wormer after the ex-
ecution of her step-sons was on from
Schryner. 1t was couched in affectionate
terms. The bereaved woman answered
the message. Photographs were ex-
changed, and the Camden man soon offer
ed the widow his heart and hand.
The ceremony was performed at Mrs.
Van Wormer's home in Undertook by
the Rev. Mr. Van Hagen. of Stuyvesant
Falls.
Mrs. Schryner is sister of the widow

ANNUAL PINEAPPLE RACE.
Swift Vessels Start for the Bermud;
Fruit Trade,

New York, April 21.-The annual race
,ete for the Bermuda pineapple trade
was inaugurated today with the sailing
of the William Linthicum, Captain Ma
son. And with the arrival of the first
cargo of pines the annual spring car
nival of the negro 'longshoremen will
begin, says the Globe.
The race continues during the remain
der of April and through May. New
York and Baltimore receive 80 per cent
of the Bermuda production, and it is from
these ports the fruit is supplied to deal
ers IN the inland towns and cities
throughout the north and west.
The competition for cargoes is a merry
one. and to the grave goes the prize. for
it is case of first in to win and in
order to reach the pineapple docks first
captains will take many risks of wind
and wave. Competition between the sail
ing vessels is at times bitter.
Since many growers adopted the sys-
tenn of packing the pines in crates and
barrels to protect the fruit and facili-
tate handling, the trade has become de-
sirable to the steamship lines. and they
are forcing the schooner to seek other
fields. Therefore, those that remain in
the trade must fight not each other,
but the steamships also. That they con-
tinUe in the traffic is because they can
handle bulk cargoes for canneries and
the big inland distributors
When n pineapple schooner arrives the
negro 'lOnUchOrpmGn n fher oil
ment To them it is like watermelon
barbecue. They pass the fruit to the
pier and help to fill the packages, and
load the wagons that carry them away.
They can rob a Gull pine of its coat
of mail quicker than a squirrel can crack
a chestnut.
