We HAVE now come to the forks in the
road. 1t is up to many "a repu blican to
decide whether he will stay with his
party or follow the lead of LaFollette.
When his faction says their ticket will
run anyway whether regular or not, in
spite of national committee and supreme
court decisions, they put themselves out
side the pale of any party organization
and are independents. The question at
issue now is whether LaFollette is great
er than the repu blican party.

School for Young Roeues.

One OF the most remarkable school
rooms in the world is that Of La Petite
Roquette," the French prison for
Juvenile offenders. The system of this
prison is that of solitary confinement,
the whole building being so constructed
that each of the detached cells is over
looked by a warder stationed on small
observation tower. The sehoolroom
consists of 200 cells in the form of an
amphitheater, from each. OF which the
teacher and the teacher only can be
seen. Each Of the youthful offenders
takes his place in silence. the first in
the furthermost cell and the others in
rotation The closing OF one of these
cell doors opens that OF the next cell
The voice Of the teacher is the only
sound to be heard in the building.

THE BERMUDA PINE SEASON
In April the Schoonars Begin to Fit
Out for an Early Trip to
the Island.

The season for Bermuda pineapp1es is
at hand, says an eastern exchange.
Formerly the entire product of the is
lands came to this country III schooners,
but of late years several steamers have
engaged in the trade and have given the
schooneFs a hard run for business. The
schooners succeed in maintaining their
prestige by starting earlier than the
steamers.
Already q number of schooners are
fitting out, and one has sailed. 1t will
be some weeks before the Bermuda crop
is ready for shipment, but meantime
the schoOners will get there and be ready
to pick up a cargo as soon as it is ripe.
The steamers cannot afford to do bust
ness in that way. and consequently the
share of the business.
A dozen schooner loads of half mil
lion or so come to this country each
year. While some find their way to tbs
regular fruit markets, the bulk of the
arrivals go to Gamers. They are fire.
quently canned in the south and sold as
domestic pines, but the Florida pineap-
pie is the only domestic sort we have
and few Of those are canned. They are
too valuable in other directions
Heavy arrivals of Havana pineapples
are weakening the market for ali sorts
excepting the extra fancy sorts that
come from Florida

A woman residing in the best section
of the First Ward: but whose name the
postal authorities refuse to divulge,
was compelled to pay SO to the
United States government yesterday
for an attempt to defraud tie mails.
She wished to mail letter and a
newspaper to a friend. To save two
cents she folded the letter in the
newspaper, and mailed the whole at
newspape, rate. She failed, however,
to pay full postage, even at the re-
duced rate, and the postmaster atthe
receiving Office flung the paper across
the room to a box kept for packages
on which postage is short, and there
the wrapper came to grief. The pa
per opened, disclosing the letter.
A notice of the increase of letter
postage on that particular letter of
from two cents to ten dollars was tax
en- by sauve employee of the Post
Office Department to the economical
ly disposed woman, with polite re-
quest that she pay. She was told
that the rate would increase alarming
ly, and other troubles would accrue
thick and fast if she failed to pay up
promptly. She paid, but she said
things. Brooklyn New York Citizen.
