nlo1ra1an1 D1ai,,


J Cleveland stockholders of Cuban
land company are eating Cuban wild
oranges this week. The box Of fruit
was sent to the city by Frank Stewart
Smith, who is in Cuba attending to
their affairs.
In sending the box Of oranges Smith
said they were taken from an old tree
on the land Of the company and that
the tree had at least 1000 oranges that
would mature perfectly during the sea-
son. In one of the punches he sent. in
the box was an unusually attractive
at the end Of one twig, about the size
of a mans finger. The oranges
are full size and very plump, and those
who have tasted them think they would
sell we'll in the market. Smith says
there are thousands Of the wild orange
trees in the woods Of Cuba, where they
have been growing for generations, anc
from which great quantities Of fruit
could be gathered If the natives chose
