EXPENSIVE APPLES
WORTH $40 A BHTE
The Zanzibar Fruit Is Perhaps the
Rarest Product on
Earth.

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 of picking them
has to be carefully selected. They must
be gathered just a month before they
would ripen, otherwise they will quick
ly spoil.
These Zanzibar apples have reached
the enormous price of 800 each. They
are not large, probably containing ten
bites at $40 bite. The apples have to
be specially ordered, for no caterer
would ever dream Of keeping them in
stock.
Custard apples are another expensive
luxury. They can be purchased at
prices ranging from rs cents to $25
each, according to quality, and, ac
cording to those whose judgment in
such matters is considered to be alb
solutely correct, must be eaten with
pepper and salt. Two of the most fash
ionable fruits in the winter months are
muscat grapes and strawberries and
until the end Of January the latter are
beyond the reach OF people Of moderate
means.
member OF Mrs. Astor's 800" not
long since went into well known fruit
erers in New York and offered $3.50 to
the manager II he could provide enough
ing. The manager undertook to de-
liver the fruit within seven hours and
then promptly proceeded to wire forty
different fruit gardens within thirty
miles Of the metropolis for strawber-
ries. Seventeen gardens provided the
required amount OF strawberries, the
remaining twenty three not being able
to produce single one, and by $50
o'clock that evening the fruit was de-
livered at a cost OF nearly 81 so for
each strawberry.
There are several persons in New
York whose weekly bill for grapes at
this season runs to never less than 500.
They pay S. a pound for the best mus
cat grapes and receive at least three
pounds a day.
The manager Of a well known fruit
erer's establishment recently declared
that many people who see high priced
fruit in the window will buy 1t just
to see what ii 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 a pear to enjoy the experience Of
eating such luxury.-Baltimore Sun.

INTERESTING LEGEND
OF OUR SILVER DOLLAR
Indian Tradition Which Explains
Why the Eagle Clasps Three Ar
rows in Its Claws.

Perhaps there are few who know why
there are three arrow heads on a silver
dollar, or, for that matter, that there
are only three. There is an Indian le-
gend as to how they came there which
is closely associated with the flag of
the QuapaW nation, now attracting so
much attention in the Territory build
ing at the Worlds Fair.
This flag is the property Of Joseph
McCoonse. 1t has been handed down
from his great-great- t-grandfather, Su-
perneau McCoonse. The flag was the
one carried by Tecumseh in his long
campaign and was taken from his dead
body after the battle of the Thames.
In this campaign there were allied with
General Harrison the PeoriaS, Kaskas-
kias and Piankashas, three nations that
once helped rule Canada, New York
and part of Pennsylvania, the frag-
ments Of which are now gathered in
the Quapaw nation and all told num-
ber fewer than 200.
The night before the great battle a
council was called. A man volunteered
from each Of these tribes who took a
solemn oath to kill Tecumseh the next
day. The battle followed and Tecum-
sch was killed. His followers attempt
ed to take his body down the river in a
boat that night, but the three watchful
enemies were too alert and surprised
the party. They failed to secure the
body of Tecumseh. but succeeded i'll
getting the flag which was wrapped
around his body. 1t was cut with many
bullet and arrow holes.
This flag fell to Superr oau McCoonse
and has been handed down in his fam
lily ever since. The flag is of flannel
cloth, made after the design of the
British flag of that day. 1t is hand
sewed and was made by the squaws of
Tecumseh's tepee. According to the
Indian legend it was in honor of the
three Indians who volunteered to kill
Tecumseh on that day or die In the at
tempt that the three arrows appeared
on the issues of the silver coins after
that date.-Kansas City Star.

THE CITY IS
SNOW BOUND
Condition of the Streets
Makes Trolley and
Truck Traffic Tiff
cult.
CHIEF MuRPRY's ACTIVITY
His Proposition to Manager
wheatly Meets a Prompt
Response and Gives
Relief.
CHIEF MuRPRY's ACTIVITY

The city is snow bound and truck traf-
fic is conducted with considerable diff
Guilty, although the police arrangements
are such as relieve partially the conges-
tion in the vicinity of the PENNSYLVANIA
ferries.
A week ago the Finance Board was
asked by the Street and Water Board for
an appropriation of 1000 to be used in
having snow removed from the street.
There was no snow on the street at the
time and the Financiers did not see TT
to appropriate the money.
Yesterday Chief of Police Murphy, re-
alizing that there, would be a great
trouble SO far as truck traffic is concerned
today telephoped to General Manager
Wheatley of the Public Service Corpora
ton that if the company would clean all
Of lower Montgomery street and one side
of York street the police would regulate
the truck traffic in such manner as to
make trolley traffic much easier. Mr.
Wheatley promptly complied with the
chiefs request This morning Captain
Cody had men stationed at various cor
ners of the streets intersecting Montsom-
ery and York streets and Grand streets
and all truck traffic bound eastward for
the ferry was diverted into York street
and tafIic bound west had both sides of
Montgomery street.
Discussing the refusal of the Finance
Board to appropriate money for snow re-
moval as requested week ago, Street
and Water Commissioner Heintze said
this morning that he could see no reason
why it should not have been done, as if
no snow fell the money could not be used
for any other purpose. Had the money
been appropriated as requested, said Mr..
Heintze, the snow in the districts where
traffic is congested could have been re-
moved yesterday while there was no
truck traffic.
President Ringle of the Finance Board
said this morning the Board might pos
sibls cali special meeting this afternoon
and appropriate the necessary money.
Personally he said he believed that the
trolley companies should bear at least
aine-tenths of the expense Of cleaning the
snow from the streets.
Meanwhile many merchants further up
the avenue are removing the banks OF
snow in front Of their stores at their own
expense.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS
A Few Here in Reference to
Your Health and Happiness

Never be careless about your health.
A neglected cold leads to grip. bron-
'chitis and pneumonia. They lead to the
grave. Never allow cold to wear Off
it wears away your lungs instead.
Avoid the patent medicines, Cough
cures and SO called immediate relief
remedies.
What you mistake for relief is deaden-
ing of the nerves by the opium and other
poisonous drugs they contain.
That weakens your body the disease
remains and~gets a stronger hold.
If it is cold on grip, 1T turns into
pneumonia, because the drugs have rob
bed your body of strength and vital force
the only power by which you can fight
off and overcome disease.
We again remind you that Father
Johns Medicine cures colds. 1t is not a
patent medicine and that it is all pure
nourishment, free from opium, morphine
or other poisonous drugs.

Collision on Saturday Night
at the Turnpike Cross

CAR PASSENGERS INJURED
Only the Slow Rate Of Speed
OF the Locomotive Pre-.
vented a Horrible
Disaster.

What came near proving a horrible az
-cident occurred at niue o'clock Saturday
night at the Newark avenue or Turnpike
crossing of the Asusquehanna Railroad.
AS it was a west bound trolley car con-
tanning about twenty passengers was
struck by the locomotive of Susquehan-
ma freight train and thrown off the tracks
seriously injuring some of the passengers
Of the car and slightly injuring others.
Fortunately the locomotive was barely
crawling along, feeling its way through
the binding snow which prevailed at the
time and the engineer, Abraham Wester-
hope, knowing that he must cross one OF
the most dangerous crossings in the
State. There are no gates there. The
Pennsylvania tracks run east and west.
The susquehanna tracks curve away by
switch from the Pennsylvania tracks in
a nOrtherly direction, crossing Newark
avenue
Conductor Edward Moore declares he
ran ahead of his car according to rules,
befoe allowing the ca to cross the tracks.
but says it was next to an impossibility
to see even tho headlight of railroad
train in the binding storm of snow. The
Hagman, David Smith. had taken refuge
from the storm in the little snanty built
for him. He is seventy-eight years old
and lives at No. II Lewis street. Cap
tain John Kelly. of the Oakland avenue
station. arrested the old man on tech
nical charge Of atrocious assault and bat
terry.
The peculiar part Of the accident is
that when the trolley car. which was
west bound. was struck she slowed
around on the susquehanna railroad
tracks going in the direction of Hacken-
started over the trolley tracks for a short
iistauce in the direction of Newark. The
locomotive became detached from the
train of freight ears. The trolley car was
badly damaged and flying splinters of
wood and glass injured the following per-
sons:
Mary Hanningan, twenuy-eight years
old. of No. TT Lafayette street, Newark.
injured about the hips; taken to the City
Hospital.
Minnie Kessler, twenty years old, No.
207 Avenue A. New York.
David scudder, No. 25S Warren street,
this city.
Ralph LaForge, twenty-five years old,
No. 2ST Sumner avenue, Newark.
All except Mary Hanningan wentn
home.
The trolley car was in charge of James
symes as motorman. He lived at Ne.
400 Broad street. Newark and Edward
Moore as conductor. The latter lived at
No. SO Kingsland avenue, Harrison.

William and Mary Coyne, the first
twenty-four years old, and the latter
twenty-three, were found asphyxiated by
gas at seven o'clock Saturday night in
their apartments at No. All Henderson

the door was locked. Police Sergeant
Foley was sent for and forced open the
door, and in the bedroom both Mr.. and
Mrs. Coyne were found apparently dead
in bed. DIR. Hoffman was called in and
pronounced them both dead.

ed from the gas burner and gas was es-
Gaping freely. 1t is believed that this
was accidental
