DANGEROUS TO PURCHASE
NORTHUMBERLAND TICKETS

Those who Do So at st. Louis Are
often Put on the Trains.
Passenger officials are making every
effort to prevent thte nontransferable
railroad tickets to the fair being used
by any other than the original pur-
chaser, says the St. Louis Republic.
Legislation, both federal state and
city, has been invoked, and the courts
have. without an exception, held that
the sale of a nontransferable ticket
such as is used for excursion traffic
to the fair is illegal and the purchaser
is in many instances liable for forgery,
inasmuch as these tickets have to be
signed in the name of the original pur-
chaser.
With the law behind them. the steady
fight which the passenger men are
making against the ticket brokers, it
is believed, is bearing fruit.
At the same time, an enormous num-
Der of cheap tickets are sold to per
sons either passing through ST. Louis
or returning from the fair.
In many instances the conductor does
not discover the fraud until the pur-
chaser of the ticket is far out on the
line from St. Louis, and the passenger
is unable to pay his fare. In this in
stance it is the duty of the conductor
to put the purchaser off the train.
AS result the passenger offices are
flooded with complaints made by per
sons who have suffered this treat
ment and who have. made their way
back to St Louis and are unable to
get home.
The only recourse for them is to
prove which was the broker from whom
they bought the scalped ticket and de-
mand the return of their money. In
this case they get their money back,
but generally the assistance of the pc
lice is required
In an affair of this sort the rail-
road renders all possible assistance,
but in many instances women, not
informed of the law providing that
brokers shall give a receipt, purchase
scalped and changed tickets, and, I'M
able to pay their fare, have been put
off the train, suffering many hard
ships thereby.
In order to prevent instances of this
sort many of the st. Louis lines have
arranged for a system of ticket in
spection before the person can get on
the train at Union Station.
In this way the fraudulent ticket is
often noted and the person saved the
discomfort of being put off the train
when st. Louis is far behind.
men but women and children are put
off trains because their tickets are
not valid have come up since the open
ing of the fair, all of such incidents
being presented to the notice of the
chief of police and mayor.
on the desk of almost every pas
senger official in St. Louis can he
found large punches of tickets which
have been manipulated by brokers.
In many instances not only has the
date of these tickets been changed.
but the original destination erased
and another substituted. in which way
a ticket costing originally 81, or SO
may be good for a passage costing $50
or $50.
At the three validating offices es-
tablished by the railroads many tick
hts which have been manipulated
have been detected, and the purchas-
er saved not only the discomfort and
humiliation of being put off the train.

which he can recover his money.

APPLES FOR DESSERT
AT $40 A BITE
From the New York American.

From the New York American.
1t will interest a great many people
to know that in some of the very ex-
pensive restaurants in New York and
other big cities fabulous prices are
charged for some kinds of fruit. In
fact, you can order a special dessert in
some places that will cost anywhere
from $25 to $3.50. These desserts will
consist principally of fruit dainties, to
provide which the greater part of the
world has been ransacked. There are
peculiar apples from Zanzibar, looking
rather like turnips; pears, in appear
ance strongly resembling oranges,
from Northern Africa; grapes from
English hothouses; and Australia will
most likely be represented by the Elf
fel Tower pineapple.
OF all fruits Zanzibar apples are per-
haps the rarest. Dozens of trees to-
gether will only bear a few of these
apples, and the time for picking them
has to be carefully selected. They
must be gathered just a month before
they would ripen, otherwise they will
very quickly spoil.
These Zanzibar apples have reach
ed the enormous price of 500 each.
They are not large, probably contain
ing about ten bites at SO bite. The
apples have to be specially ordered.
for no caterer would ever dream of
keeping them in stock.
Custard apples are another expen-
sive luxury. They can be purchased
at prices ranging from rs cents to $25
each. according to quality, and, accord
ing to those whose judgment in such
matters is considered to be absolutely
correct, must be eaten with pepper and
salt. Two of the most fashionable
fruits in the winter months are rpuscat
grapes and strawberries, and until the
end of January the latter are beyond
the reach of people of moderate
means.
A member of Mrs. Astors 900" not
long since went into a well-known
fruiterers in New York and offered $3.50
to the manager if he could provide
enough Strawberries for five people
that evening. The manager under
took to deliver the fruit within seven
hours. and then promptly proceeded
to wire to forty different fruit gardens
within thirty miles Of the metropolis
for Strawberries. Seventeen gardens
provided the required amount Of
strawberries (the remaining twenty
three not being able to produce a sin
gle one), and by half-past 6 that even
ing the fruit was delivered at a cost
of nearly $3.50 for each strawberry.
There are several persons in New
York whose weekly bill for grapes at
this season runs to never less than 800.
They pay s. per pound for the best
muscat grapes, and received at least
three pounds per day
The manager of a well-known fruit
erer's establishment recently declared
that lots of people who see high-priced
fruit in the window will buy II just to
see what It tastes like" and in this
way these Samplers" as they are
called by the trade. are considerable
source Of profit to many Of the high
class fruiterers. These samplers will
cheerfully spend a dollar on an apple
or pear to enjoy the experience Of
eating such a luxury.
