ing Another Wonderful Ceration.
San Francisco, April 29.-The Exam
iner says that Luther Burbank. of
Santa Rosa. has succeeded in produc-
ing another wonderful Grafton, which
will come under the head of potato ex-
periments, and known as "pomato
fruit" Briefly summarized the evolu-
ton is matter of planting the tuber
and gathering from the tomato vine
luscious white fruit, one that is de-
lightfully palatable and makes excel
lent preserves.
Mr.. Burbank named the potato fruit
"pomato." When compared with the
tomato, the "pomato' is smaller in size
and the meat white instead of red
and it is highly favored. In other
words, it's flavor is that of fruit rather
than vegetable. Mr.. Burbank speaks
Of the creation of polnato as resulting
from turning plant life in opposite di-
rection.
INSTEAD of cultivating tubers, we
now cultivate fruit and tubers as a
secondary consideration He says the
fruit on the vine Is the main object

Twelve Arrests Made For Alleged Vic.
lation Of the Same.
Chicago, April 29.-For the first time
since the strike of the American Rail-
way union in 1894, the government Of
the United States has been made d
party to the labor troubles in this city.
The government was brought into the
teamsters' strike Friday by the issu-
ance Of an injunction by Judge Kohl
saat of the United States circuit court
The writ was asked in behalf of the
Employers Teaming association on the
grounds that the organization is in
corporated under the laws of West
Virginia and is. therefore, under the
protection of the Federal court. The
order commands that all defendants
refrain from any interference with the
business of the Employers Teaming
association and commands the strikers
to refrain from picketing. massing on
the streets with intent to interfere
with the wagons Of the complainant
and from interfering in any manner
with men in its employ. AS soon as
issued. copies of the injunction were
printed on large cards and two of these
were attached to every wagon of the
Employers Teaming association which
went upon the streets Friday. The in
junction exerted a pacifying influence
and there was less rioting in the
streets than Thursday. A heavy
thunder storm which continued during
the latter part Of the afternoon and
through the evening also lent material
assistance in keeping the streets clear.
Twelve arrests We're made for inter-
ference with the injunction, all of them
being at one time and place. At l 80
o'clock in the afternoon, two wagons
with coal approached the Union
League club on Jackson Boulevard and
when they attempted to drive into the
narrow alley east of the club house to
unload, the non union teamsters were
attacked by A crowd of strike sympa-
thizers and a lively fight resulted. The
police in charging the mob arrested
twelve men.
One hundred and five copies of the
injunction were given % United States
Marshal James for service upon labor
leaders and five of his assistants were
sent out Immediately to serve them.
The greater part of the notices had
been given by evening.
When the news of the injunction
reached President Shea of the Team
sters' union he issued an order signed
by the committee to teamsters' BUSH
ness agents, instructing the men to re-
frain from violence.

Advice About. Eggs.

writer In the Dclincator gives some
sensible advice about eggs. There is Il
general impression that eggs, acknowl.
edged to be complete food. may be
safely eaten on NIL occasions. On tho
contrary, as the writer alluded to
points ont, invalids and young children
should never be given eggs unless they
are very fresh. Persons suffering from
biliOuSncSs, gaStritis and several other
troubles find difficulty In digesting oven
fresh eggs. Some physicians declare
that the slightest tendency toward
rheumatism makes eggs undesirable.
The white Of eggs whipped TO frolh
with II little water Is n good thing to
give fever patients, as rule. but tho
physician should be consulted before
even this is given to sick person.
