A tiny branch, not more than
two feet long, bearing no less than
nine fully developed lemons was
received this morning by the editor
with the compliments of that esti-
mable lady Mrs. Jas. Hill of Point
Isabel, being cut from a lemon tree
growing in her garden. This tree
is only FIVE years old and is now
bearing for the first time, being
laden with fine, well developed
fruit OF an excellent variety. There

IL Restores Maryland City to.
Its Feet.

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 11.-Today
marked the most cheerful advance Bal
timore has yet made in emerging from
the dark cloud cast upon it by the con-
fagration. An incident that inspired
the whole community with confidence
was the resumption of business by the
banks
The knowledge that BaItimore's ter
minal facilities are intact and that the
grain elevators were not involved In
the fiery tornado has also served to
promote popular conviction that the
situation is not so dark as 1t has ap-
peared. Indeed, the optimistic feeling
Is manifestly growing that the calam-
fty will give the city an opportunity to
readjust itself on new and more mod
ern plans.
The progress which has been made
today in the work of clearing the debris
from the streets in the burned dis
trict seems almost magical.
The Chamber of Commerce is send
ing to every center of trade in this
country and Europe the assurance that
Baltimore is even now in condition to
transact all shipping. grain and foreign
trade, and that all other lines of bust
ness will be restored to their normal
channels in two or three months.
Many merchants and manufacturers
whose places of business were swallow
ed up have signed contracts for re-
building.
The matter of accepting aid from
other cities has not yet been finally de-
clded upon, according to Mayor Nc
Lane.
There is no actual restitution The
indications are that the citizens Of Bal
tlmore VIII be fully able to take care of
all cases of want. The mayor feels
grateful for the many proffers of aid.
among the messages of sympathy
received today was a communication
from ID. Falconi, the apostolic delegate
at Washington. containing the follow
ing from the pope:
Rome, Feb. 10.-His holiness, deeply
moved by the news of the great calam-
lty winch has recently visited the city
or Baltimore, desires your excelIency to
convey to the honorable mayor and the
people of Baltimore his sincere sympa-
tny he prayS that they can stand the
severe loss their city has suffered and
that 1t viii continue to progress.

The leading savings banks in the city
combined in a public announcement
that none of them have suffered anv
loss of securities by the fire, that thew

ever, and will be open for business
Feb. Is.
A composite estimate Of the total
loss from the fire by twenty-five ex-
pert representatives of leading insur-
ance companies, outside of Baltimore
places the figures at $85, 900. Some
OF them think that the total loss will be
reduced to $4,000, 900, as much saliva re

WORRY RAILROADS
Many Bills Are introduced

ton Privileges.


Special to The Globe.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. IL
Railroads doing business in Iowa have
been placed on the defensive by large
number of bills introduced in the legis-
lature, and because of the Importance
of the measures have brought into the
field large number of workers.
L. L. Delano Democratic representa-
tive from Cass county, is the chief an
tagonist. He has been the author Of
two bills which are causing considera-
BILE worry to the roads. The first one
introduced was at the instigation of
the Iowa live stock shippers. 1t asks
that shippers be given passes to and
from destination of their consign
ments; that their stock be given pref
erence of all other freight and be
transported at the rate of twenty
miles per hour, and that sidetracks
be placed at all stations where ship
pers desire to load.
A train load of officials came from
Chicago to lobby against this measure
and explained that the giving of passes
to live stock men was a custom origi-
mated years ago, when they were need
ed to protect their stock from being
trampled, to feed and water them.
Recent improvements in transportation
methods, it is claimed, have made it
unnecessary. The officials further al
lege that stockmen abused the privi-
lege by selling the transportation to
other parties and thereby forcing the
road to take risks upon lives of parties
from whom they were receiving no
patronage nor fare.
Wants Lower Fare.
No sooner had they made their talk
before the railroad committee and re-
turned to Chicago than another twist
was taken in the tail of railroad prop
critics by Representative Delano. This
time he would compel all railroads
to transport persons over twelve years
of age for 2 cents per mile, and those
under twelve for / cent per mile. He
also attaches to his bill a provision
preventing the issuance of passes to
state officials, legislators and delegates.
This bill was simultaneously intro
duced in the senate by Democratic
Senator Robert c. Stirton, of Month
cello.
On the same day Representative J.
r. Doran, of Boone county, introduced
a measure that would compel all rail-
roads to employ none but adults as
operators where their duties include
the receiving and delivery of messages
regulating the movement of trains.
The employment of minors as signal
men is also prohibited. This bill is
the result of a recent head-end COLI
sion at Slater, which caused the death
of three persons, and which was al
legged to be due to an error by an
eighteen year-old operator and agent.
