A Notable Discovery.
It was said yesterday that the dis
coyery is one of the most important
made in years. It will extend the
orange growing district north into
Georgia, and probably all along the
Gulf States. In these districts the in
dustry has been dead for a number OF
years, owing TO the remarkable drop
in the winter temperature along the
Gulf of Mexico in the last decade,
which the natives say is due to the
destruction Of the vast forests that
once prevented the cold northern
breezes from blowing over the orange
orchards.
One variety is named THE Rusk.'
in honor of the memory of the late
Secretary Uncle Jerry RuSk, under
whom the experiments Were begun.
The other is named THE WillettS

Experts say the discovery means the
development of the orange growing
! industry TO such an extent that the

! of It's own markets. but will become
an exporter of the fruit.

FIRE AT MEADOWS END.
Four Cottages Destroyed at Midnight
 Last Night.

Milford, April 16-Fire which broke out about midnight tonight destroyed four cottages at Meadows End, and for a time it looked as though several more were doomed. The Milford fire department was called to the place and succeeded ill checking the flames after a stubborn fight. The flames broke out in the cottage of Mrs. Charlotte A, Por- ter and soon spread to another cottage of Mrs. Porter near by, destroying both. The loss to these two will be about 3D. 900. A short time later the cottage of Enos l., Tinkham, of Waterbury, on the beach at Meadows End, was ablaze and that. too, was destroyed. A cot- tage belonging to John Buchler, of Mer- iden, also caught fire and was burned down.
 Hundreds of citizens turned out to fight the fire and helped to keep it from doing any more damage until the fire department reached there. So fast did the fire spread that it was first thought that the residential section of the sum- mer resort would be wiped out.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Musical Director and His Wife. m
 Actress. Found Dead.

Philadelphia, April 16.-Louis Heck, jr., musical director of Keith's Chestnut
 Street theater, and his wife, known or
 the vaudeville stage as May Belle Eek ert, were found asphyxiated by gas to- day in the bedroom of their fiat in this
 city. Two burners of chandelier in
 their room were turned on Whether
 the couple had deliberately planned to lend their lives together or whether their
 death was an accident has not yet been definitely determined, but the coroner
 tonight is inclined to believe they died through an accident.
 The finding of the bodies was attend ed by sad circumstances. T. w. Eek ert, of San Francisco, the father of the
 dead woman, and his wife, who are on the vaudeville stage, and who had com pleted an engagement in New York yes- terday, had planned to dine this even- ing with his daughter and her husband
 They were to have been met at the
 Pennsylvania railroad station on their
 arrival from New York this afternoon by MT. and Mrs. Heck. Failing to meet them at the station, MT. and Mrs. Eek ert went to the house and the finding of the bodies followed. Mrs Hecks
 body was found lying on couch. The body of the husband was on the floor in
 a sitting posture, with the head resting lon the body of the wife.
 MT. and Mrs. Heck were married about five years ago and were much de- Ivoted to one anotherj. They were well known in vaudeville. having travelled as a musical team under the name of
 "Eckert and Heck. About three years ago Heck left the stage to become mu- lsical director of Keith's theater in this | city, but his wife from time to time ap- Ipeared on the stage in musical and singing specialties.

UNREST OF RUSSIAN PEOPLE
ALMOST STATE OF SIEGE IN SEC- TIoN OF CAPITAL.

CossacISs and Police Swarm Streets
 Near PontiIofT Iron Works--Import-
 ant Meeting of the Constitutional Conservative Party--Great Confer
 cnce of the Whole of Russia Planned. v St. Petersburg, April 17.-12:45 a. m. Almost state of siege exists in the Narva quarter, owing to the suspension of the Poutiloff Iron works. Soldiers are stationed inside the works, and Cos sacks and police swarm in the sur rounding streets. The appearance of the district resembles the scenes wit messed during the disturbances last January. The tension yesterday was great, especially when a policeman shot a drunken workman who had drawn q revolver on him; but there was no col- lision during the day.
 The bodies of the two workmen who were accidentally killed at the iron works, and whose funerals their fel- lows had planned to make a great po- litical demonstration were inferred at l, s,daybreak, in compliance with police or ders to avoid demonstration. Several smaller demonstrations had been plan ned for other parts of the city, but there were no serious disorders.
 The constitutional conservative party formed by a number of members of the council of the empire, senators, mo- bles, landowners and government off, cials, and presided over by Count Bob- rinslty, which hitherto met privately, convened an important meeting for to- day to approve a circular embodying it's views and proposals, and to arrange (Continued on Sixth Page.)

PEsSIMISTIC ABOUT PEACE.
Ex-senator Chandler, However, Has
 some Hope of Universal Amity.


 Washington. April 16. Ex- Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, presided and was the principal speaker at a peace conference held to-day under the auspices of the Washington branch of the Green Acre Fellowship association MT. Chandler was rather pessimistic in regard to the prospects of international peace. He discussed the question in it's various aspects, and in conclusion said:
 My life has not been spent where there was universal agreement. I have been used to differences of opinion such as are to be found in political societies, such as rule the states of mankind more than international councils and Green Acres. It is through struggle and argument and controversy that the world moves on. When I began I was pessimistic, but am not hopeless I have learned too much to disbelieve in the future. Tn my lifetime have seen slavery destroyed and Cuba and the Philippines freed. The labors of good men and women to put an end to war may not be fruitless. It is not more hopeless than the growth of humanity. If slavery was abolished in the nine- teenth century why should not war be abolished in the twentieth century?''

GIFTS DETERMINED MoNEF.v
That Altar sanctifies Them Most Im-

nlUEIt bUCErtntc.
 New York, April 16-"rhere is a moral quality in money. Judas sold the Saviour for thirty pieces of silver. That is s5.10 in our money. Do you suppose Judas is the only person who has be- trayed the Saviour for $5.10? Every man who takes money from his neigh bor without equivalent, is betraying his Master" declared Rev. George F. Pen tecest to-day in a sermon at the Madi- son avenue Baptist church, on the sub ject of so-called 'tained money"
 Some people said he, task why need we inquire into the color of money, whether it be clean or dirty, so long as it be given to God, for the altar sanctifies the gift. I do not hesitate to say that this is the most immoral doc- Urine l ever heard.''
 The richest man in the world, the speaker declared, is said to have from five hundred to one thousand millions of dollars. :..
 tHe has given" he said, ''in charity S2S.500 000 during his life and some peo- pie hail him therefore as one of the greatest benefactors of modern times. I tell you it is no more for that partic- ular gentleman to have given that enor- nous sum than it would be for the man with an income of $5,OOO year to give five cents year.
 If the Lord has so prospered him as to give him the high genius, the high integrity to make so great riches, the $2S, 100000 is not benevolence. it is a mere paltry excuse"
